In 1492 of the Old Calendar, a new continent was discovered. In next years, first wave of ships set sail for the promise of the new lands and riches, untouched and unblemished by the greater world. Some even traveled for adventures that the new world would offer. More optimist of them left to find a better life, away from all the conflicts of the Mainland. Then, the second wave of ships left, but this time they were not settler, adventures, nor travelers. They were vast armies assembled by kings, reclusive magicians, warriors of old blood lines, and mystical beasts thought to have disappeared from the world. They left to prevent the end of world. Yet, they had failed for end of the world had come. First Cracks opened and Taint descended. It was force so foul and profane in nature that it turned everything it touched into a corrupted misshapen mockery of life. Then, those Cracks grew larger and Others slipped in. In their madness, they slaughtered and bathed in the blood of living. For a millennium humanity endured, and with each generation their strength rose and their walls became sturdier. And now, it is time for Henry Ward, an orphan boy in cusp of manhood, with his own dark secrets to partake in this unholy war waged against humanity.

Have you ever loved someone enough to let them ruin you? Hatred turns intimate. Violence turns protective. Control turns possessive. Lines blur until neither knows where revenge ends and devotion begins. This is not a love story. It’s a descent. A dark romance of power, cruelty, obsession, and the kind of attachment that doesn’t ask to be healthy—only eternal.

Two academic rivals forced to tutor each other discover that competition can turn into love.

In a modern city that never truly sleeps, the night is governed by contracts. Hidden beneath neon lights and crowded streets exists a supernatural order where shikigami—beings of myth and power—are bound by law. Every existence is registered. Every ability is regulated. Every deviation is punished. This system is enforced by Night Protocol, an organization that believes order is the only way to prevent chaos. Opposing them is Crimson Bloom, a loosely structured sanctuary that shelters those crushed by the system—unregistered spirits, broken contracts, and lives deemed expendable by law. Where Night Protocol controls through binding, Crimson Bloom survives through choice, loyalty, and compassion. When a routine enforcement mission goes wrong, Yasha, a feared Executor of Night Protocol, encounters Momo, the Heartbearer of Crimson Bloom—a healer whose mere presence disrupts the very contract system that governs the city. For the first time, the law hesitates. Declared an anomaly, Momo is placed under observation rather than arrest, forcing Yasha into an uneasy proximity with the one person capable of unraveling everything he has sworn to protect. As incidents escalate across the city, contracts begin to behave unpredictably, civilians witness what should remain hidden, and the line between law and mercy starts to fracture. Caught between duty and doubt, Yasha must confront a truth Night Protocol refuses to acknowledge: some power cannot be controlled, only understood. Meanwhile, Momo faces the growing cost of compassion in a city that punishes defiance, even when it saves lives. As rival factions collide, secrets surface, and forbidden bonds form across enemy lines, The Contracted Night explores a city on the brink—where love challenges law, rebellion blooms in silence, and the night itself begins to question who truly deserves to rule it. --- Genre Urban Fantasy · Supernatural · Action Romance Themes Law vs Freedom · Moral Ambiguity · Forbidden Bonds · Power and Compassion · Found Family

INTRODUCTION — WHEN SPRING RETURNS In the heart of Seoul, where city lights blur into the soft pastel glow of youth, two lives grow side by side — one blooming loudly, the other quietly loving from the shadows. Haeyoung Hong shines the way spring sunlight does. Bold, spirited, endlessly social, she laughs without hesitation and speaks without fear. She trips over her own feet, teases the people she loves, and lives as if the world has never once hurt her. To her classmates, she is warmth. To her teachers, she is trouble. To Kim Junghan, she is home. Junghan has been beside her since childhood — a quiet, gentle boy who hides more behind his smile than anyone knows. While Haeyoung faces the world with open arms, he survives it with silent endurance. A toxic mother, a broken past, and the heavy expectation of a family legacy sit on his shoulders long before he understands the word burden. But none of it can stop the way he looks at Haeyoung: like she is the only safe thing in his world. She never notices. He never confesses. And their high school years pass in stolen glances, playful arguments, sarcasm, and the kind of closeness that hurts simply because it means more to one than the other. But life separates even the closest of childhood hearts. When Haeyoung leaves Korea to chase her dreams abroad, she carries excitement. Junghan carries ache. As distance grows, their messages fade. As years pass, their worlds change. And when tragedy steals his father and guilt tightens his mother’s grip, Junghan falls into a loneliness deep enough to swallow him whole. Yet he keeps moving. Keeps enduring. Keeps loving her in silence. Seven years later, fate finally returns Haeyoung to Seoul — older, stronger, and unaware of the storm she is walking back into. And she doesn’t know that the company she’s joining as an Art Director belongs to the boy she once left behind… The boy who has spent half his life loving her. The boy who has learned how to live without her. The boy who still breaks at the sight of her name. This is his story — a tale of longing that never faded, wounds that never healed, and a love that was never meant to disappear. when spring returns — a story of yearning, loss, sacrifice, and the quiet devotion of a boy who loved first… and waited longest.

Summoner Guild Online was supposed to be the launch of the century. For millions of players, it was the ultimate escape. A world of endless adventure, legendary loot, and guild wars that would make history. But for Kai Grimer, it became a death trap. He doesn't spawn in the starting village like the others. Instead, he wakes up in the suffocating darkness of the Tutorial Dungeon—not as a player, but as the final boss. An NPC designed to be slaughtered by wave after wave of newbies farming their first XP. The logout button doesn't work. The system won't respond. And if he dies here, there's no respawn. Desperate and hunted, Kai activates his only skill, [Grand Summon]. It's a gamble: sacrifice XP to pull a random servant from across dimensions. He's hoping for something useful. A knight. Maybe a mage. Even a halfway-decent slime would do. What he gets instead is Lyra, the Abyssal Empress. [Rating: 9999 Class: World-Ending Calamity Danger Level: Apocalypse-Tier.] She's devastatingly beautiful. Unimaginably powerful. And completely, utterly insane. She despises humanity, mocks the system, and has enough power to crack continents in half. But thanks to the summoning contract, she has one unbreakable rule: absolute obedience to Kai. And somehow, that obedience has twisted into something far more dangerous—obsession. But Kai isn't running anymore. With each wave of players he defeats, he earns XP. With each summon he pulls, his army grows. Knights. Demons. Spirits. Beasts. And perhaps... more dangerous beauties who don't appreciate Lyra's self-proclaimed monopoly on their Master's attention. [You have defeated 47 Players] [New Summon Available] Trapped between overpowered summons fighting for his favor, guilds hunting his legend, and a game system that's starting to break under his existence, Kai has one goal: He won't just survive Summoner Guild Online. He'll conquer it. And if a few world-ending beauties want to fight over him along the way? Well, that's just part of being the strongest summoner.

Before you stands a living legend. The Laughing Storm reborn. Dragoon, Pyromancer, Hydra Mage. Chain-breaker, Night-slayer, and future Emperor of Valyria. Too many titles? Don’t worry. They all belong to one man. Gendry. Once a nameless blacksmith. Now a force the world can no longer ignore. This is the story of his return and his rise to power.

I suddenly woke up in the Marvel Universe with tens of millions in inheritance. Life was great—until I remembered the purple potato who would wipe out half the population.

Against gods, demons, and superheroes, my cheat is useless. So how can I survive in these two deadly universes?

“Alpha Troy! Over here!” I yelled, raising my hand for help. I was under attack by a monster while saving my mates. The four of them heard me cry out as the creature clawed me and slammed me against the wall. “Help me!” I gasped, but their attention shifted when a soft cry came from the other side. It was Oriana, the gentle princess and a warrior, a combination most men lusted after. But not my mates. They were in my troupe, my friends, my lovers. We shared a bed, a bond. I knew they would save me. “Ohhh! I’m going to die,” she whimpered again, though she could have stood up easily. The monster’s focus was on me. “Yorick!” I screamed, reaching for another of my mates, struggling to escape, my leg tangled in silver chains. My mates looked at me and then at her—and I saw it. The shine of love in their eyes. In a heartbeat, they ran to her. My heart slowed. Tears welled up. Oriana had warned me: when it came down to it, they would choose her. She told me they only used me to pass time in the dorm room because I agreed for gangbang while other she-wolves did not. And now, right before my eyes, they were leaping into battle—for her. “We’ll come back for you, don’t worry,” Haiden shouted, as if that erased the betrayal. At that moment, the monster turned back to me. And I knew there would be no saving me. So I prayed they’d live long enough to regret their choice. --- Clementine had spent her life as the insufferable daughter of an alpha—tough, rebellious, and uninterested in love, especially in a world where male wolves were allowed multiple mates. Tired of her attitude, her stepmother forced her into an academy built to train fighters against deadly monsters. On her first day, Clementine was shocked to find her roommates were the worst people from her past: -Alpha Yorick, her bitter ex-boyfriend -Alpha Troy, her ex–best friend who believed she betrayed him -Alpha Haiden, the bully who had made her life hell -And Alpha Ian, her former cellmate who thought she manipulated him into punishment They all seemed to want revenge. But when they fought side by side on the battlefield, something strange happened–Clementine felt a mate bond with all of them. At first, things turned steamy. Hatred became desire. Tension turned into passion. But then, Clementine saw the truth: when it came down to it, they would always choose someone else over her. To them, she had only ever been a distraction, a toy to share and throw away.

From broken to brave~ a journey of love, survival and strength

The World is an endless battle, when you suffer in one life you start all over in the next. The same thing happened to me. I was brought into a world that I never knew of and I could've died but something kept telling to keep going What was this will that told me to keep going even after all the things I suffered in the past life and probably this Life?

A century ago, colossal stone swords descended from the skies, stabbing deep at the heart of twenty-eight cities. Like so began the Sword Trials. Worlds against worlds, species against species, set in a separate, unique, battleground realm that resembled the greatest sword-themed, faction versus faction MMORPG to ever exist. Levels, Legendary Equipment, Hidden Quests, Guilds, Territories, Spawns, NPCs, Sword Skills, Loot that could transcend worlds through a special currency… Only those who can awaken their sword marks would be called Bladeborns, warriors of their race. Armed with Soulbound Swords of varying tiers that decided their ranking in the modern hierarchy, they would fight for the continued existence of their worlds. Ending the battle, however, proved far more difficult than expected. A seemingly unbreakable hundred-year stalemate was reached. The apocalyptic ending eventually faded from everyone’s minds, and being a Bladeborn suddenly turned into a profession. Some even treated the Sword Trials as a mere game. Schools began adding swordsmanship classes as a major subject, and those who excelled beyond their peers at the same high school would be called Sword Prince and Princesses. One such celebrity was Daru Finnley, a young man who had an unusual love for the sword. Named the Fallen Sword Prince after a disastrous awakening ceremony, the label of genius changed into garbage overnight. But his “trash” sword held a secret. And so did his soul… Three worlds WILL fall. === For the month of December 2025: For every 20 powerstones / 5 golden tickets = 1 bonus chapter A cumulative total of 150 powerstones for the entire month would trigger a grand mass release event for the month of January 2026.

Charles Kosonen walked into a hidden bar one night expecting nothing but a good drink. He had only visited on one of his random whims, something to spice up his endlessly boring days as a man born with everything, yet utterly dissatisfied with everything. He quickly found a seat at the bar. Then he noticed a beautiful girl lingering by the stage, chatting with the band like she was their singer. Beautiful, she was, with those brilliant blue eyes, deep as sapphire, and her long black hair flowing carelessly down her back. But in the world he lived in, beauty was always in abundance, and for a pair of eyes so used to gems, even a shining jewel could start to lose its luster. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smirk. He'd come for the drinks, as one of his business partners had praised when recommending this place. The singing was merely an extra. Or so he thought. The moment the liquid in his crystal-clear glass touched his lips was when the girl took the stage. The moment the cold sip slid down his throat was when her lips parted. And then she sang. The glass froze in his hand. If an angel could sing, why would she choose to descend into this hidden bar, of all places? The song wasn't a particularly popular one. The band behind her was just C-class amateur. And yet, with her voice alone, she took the song, polished it into a gemstone, and made it hers. He looked around the room. It wasn't just him, but every single man present there that night had their eyes glued to her, their face a mesmerized expression. A decision was made. He would have her under his wing, no matter what it cost.

One quiet morning, Kai received an unexpected package. Inside was a mysterious game titled Reaching the Moon: Farming Season—a seemingly ordinary farming simulation. Puzzled, Kai couldn’t recall ever ordering it. Yet curiosity soon outweighed suspicion, and he decided to give it a try. The moment he launched the game, reality shattered. A blinding light engulfed him, and before he knew it, Kai was no longer in his room—he was inside the game itself. There, he met a radiant being who introduced herself as the Fairy Goddess.

[Warning! R18+ Mature Content] After a 'freaky' accident in a Natural History Museum, where he got crushed by a dinosaur on display, under very embarassing circumstances, Jimmy woke up in the Jurassic Era in an alternate world. His third-cousin, who he had gone on a date with while being unaware of their blood relation, somehow followed him in this alternate world, and there, she seemed to have magical powers! While testing if he also had powers, and discovering that he did, he figured out that he was a Bloodmancer after he constantly pushed his powers to the limit. At some point, he discovered that he could control dinosaurs by altering, or controlling their blood. This helped him tame dinosaurs, but after some experimenting, he figured out that he could use his tamed dinosaurs to 'tame' human women! Jimmy wasn't much of a ladies man himself, so of course, he barely got any action in the beginning, even in the Jurassic Era, where he was followed around by his third-cousin who persued him romantically, albeit slowly. For that matter, when he figured out he could induce chemical romance on other, non-related women using his tamed dinosaurs, he took the opportunity to slowly indulge into fiesty romance with every other woman he craved to touch, across the dinosaur-riddled land! With an appetite strong enough to consume the world, that grew even stronger as he developed his Bloodmancer abilities, he needed far more intimacy than the light teasing that his cousin taunted him with!

Jimmy could even make magical breakthroughs through intimacy, and in a world riddled with secrets of technology beyond its age, intimacy wasn't only a necessity, but it was also a piece of the puzzle. ... ~ Uploading 2-6 chapters a day. ~ ~ There are pictures in the comments, or paragraph comments.
