romance

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

"If life gives you lemons, make lemonade" Author’s note: The main character is neither reincarnated nor transmigrated. A/N: The early chapters contain logical inconsistencies and a weak storytelling style. Please keep this in mind before you start reading. If you’re curious about my current storytelling and writing style, I recommend checking out the latest chapters instead. I’m planning to do a remake in the future… when I’m not feeling lazy. A/N: Since this is the first novel I’ve published,don’t expect a perfect masterpiece. Still, I believe I’ve managed to create a good story. Sorry guys, the author is too lazy to write a long explanation. In short: the main character is a cursed child whose story will change the fate of the entire world.

Bound by an ancient jade that demands dual cultivation to survive, an abandoned youth and his sharp-tongued childhood protector must balance forbidden Yin-Yang Qi before the Shadow Sect reaps their lives. Nine years ago, Ye Chen’s parents vanished without a trace, leaving behind only an ordinary-looking jade pendant and an unspoken target on his back. He was content living quietly on the fringes of Willow Creek. But when a dying courier collapses on his doorstep bearing the black serpent crest of the ruthless Shadow Sect, the dormant jade awakens—burrowing directly beneath Ye Chen's flesh. The pendant is a Primordial Key, and its immense power is tearing his mortal meridians apart. There is only one way to survive the lethal heat: the cooling touch of pure Yin energy. Xiao Mei, his fierce childhood companion, refuses to watch him burn. To save him, she links her soul to his in an untamed Dual Cultivation resonance. Now, with every breath drawing them into an addictive, dangerous harmony, they are forced onto the run. Ancient trials await them. Shrouded immortals hunt them. And the closer their Qi draws together, the harder it becomes to separate destiny from desire.

In a city ravaged by the Blacklight Virus, he stood as a god among men—catching a nuclear missile with his bare hands. In the grim darkness of the universe of Warhammer 40,000, he became the lone ray of hope beneath the endless shadow of the Warp. Within the depths of destruction itself, he delivered the final judgment, standing atop mountains of demon skulls. “The one approaching… is the White Flame dancing upon the graves of his enemies. The Emperor of the Nilfgaardian Empire— Emhyr var Emreis.” The herald’s voice thundered throughout the grand hall. Yet the man seated upon the throne only smiled faintly. “For before you stands…” “The Lord Emperor of Humanity. The Sun and God-King of Light. The King of the Lands Between of Elden Ring. The Supreme Archmage of the Sorcerers’ Privy Council. The Nightmare of Chaos Demons. The Ender of the White Frost. The Savior of countless worlds.” “All hail—” “His Majesty, Karl-El the First.”

But she isn't the only one addicted to his power. Wang Dong discovers that cultivating with Ye Chen is ten times faster than with anyone else. The choice is simple: Stay with the weak Huo Yuhao out of pity, or ascend to the heavens with Ye Chen? Wang Dong: "I'm sorry, Yuhao. Ye Chen gives me the power you simply cannot." From the Extreme North to Shrek Academy, Ye Chen doesn't just steal opportunities; he rewrites reality. The Child of Destiny? In front of the Ice Dragon, luck implies nothing.

Liam Carter died like a nobody. Bullied, broken, and bleeding out on a cold rain-soaked street while the world kept walking. He should have stayed dead. But the universe had other plans. [WORLD CONQUEROR SYSTEM — CORRUPTED] [LUST SYSTEM ONLINE] His first mission was ridiculous. His second was downright filthy. Every conquest rewards him with power no mortal should wield — godlike strength, supernatural abilities, and a raw, magnetic charisma that makes women wet with a single glance.

Queens, ancient witches, seductive vampires, and untouchable werewolf alphas all find themselves addicted to the same man they once would’ve crushed. They don’t just want him. They crave him. They submit to him. Because this isn’t just about power. It’s about raw, shameless domination — in battle and in bed. Behind the System lurks something far darker: an ancient race, a forgotten war, and a destiny that could burn entire worlds to ash. The Lust System was never supposed to exist. Now it does. And the world only has two choices: Submit to his touch… Or be conquered.

Blue, a nine-hundred-year-old vampire, has spent centuries searching for something he was told could never exist for his kind—a mate. While vampires are believed to be incapable of forming true fated bonds, Blue refuses to let go of the possibility, especially after witnessing his werewolf family find theirs. The absence of such a connection leaves a quiet but persistent emptiness in him, one that drives his relentless search across the centuries. Everything changes when Blue senses the unmistakable pull of a bond in a small town high school. There, he finds Mason Carter—his mate. However, the discovery comes with an immediate and troubling complication: Mason is only thirteen years old. Unwilling to interfere in Mason’s life too soon, Blue chooses to remain in the shadows. For years, he watches over him from a distance, ensuring his safety while suppressing his own desire to step in. As time passes, Blue becomes intimately aware of Mason’s life—his quiet nature, his insecurities, and the emotional damage inflicted by those around him. Mason grows up in an environment devoid of support. At school, his best friend Caleb slowly destroys his confidence, reinforcing feelings of worthlessness and shame, particularly surrounding his sexuality. At home, Mason faces emotional neglect and a lack of acceptance, leaving him isolated and vulnerable. Over time, the weight of these experiences erodes his self-worth. By the time Mason turns eighteen, Blue is still holding himself back, determined to respect the boundaries he set. However, Mason’s situation worsens. His internal struggles deepen, and his belief that he is unlovable becomes firmly rooted. The turning point comes when Mason gathers the courage to confess his feelings to Caleb, only to be cruelly rejected and humiliated. Witnessing this breaks the last of Blue’s restraint. The years of watching, waiting, and enduring Mason’s suffering become unbearable. Driven by both love and long-suppressed possessiveness, Blue finally steps out of the shadows. He inserts himself into Mason’s life, determined to protect him, support him, and undo the damage that has been done. As Blue claims his place beside his mate, he also sets his sights on those who hurt him. What begins as protection quickly blurs into something darker, as Blue’s centuries of patience give way to a more ruthless side. Those who contributed to Mason’s pain must now face the consequences.
