revenge

“Pleasing Rancor” is a dark romance thriller about Ariel Smith, a gentle Californian bookshop owner haunted by the childhood car crash that killed her parents and left her drowning in survivor’s guilt. Her quiet life fractures when her best friend Berry vanishes just before her wedding, and a magnetic stranger, Arlo Johnson, steps into her days as both rescuer and solace, drawing her into an intense, fragile love that feels like healing.​ What Ariel doesn’t know is that Arlo is the ruthless head of a criminal empire called Obsidian Halo, the very underworld that once employed Berry and her fiance Harry and that their disappearance is tied to Harry’s failed coup and Berry’s secret betrayal. When Arlo forces Ariel to witness Berry’s brutal, staged death, the man who once felt like safety becomes the face of pure villainy in her eyes, turning love into consuming hatred.​ Trapped between her longing for the version of Arlo who held her through nightmares and the monster who weaponized her deepest wounds, Ariel must decide whether to let grief turn her cruel, or to carve out her own power without becoming what destroyed her. “Pleasing Rancor” explores how love can be both sanctuary and snare, and how sometimes the hardest battle is choosing who to become after the person you trusted most becomes the author of your ruin.​

WARNING- 18+ CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL ELEMENTS TRAUMA AND TORTURE *************************************************************************************************** Ophelia Blackwood lived her life doing everything she could to be loved. First by her parents and three elder siblings, then by her best friend, and finally by her lover. She sacrificed everything just to be valued by Vincent Dimitri, the son of one of the most dangerous mafia families in Russia, and her childhood best friend, Elosia Jonas. They were her chosen family. Yet her loyalty was repaid with betrayal. After destroying Vincent’s greatest enemy and crowning him the King of the Underworld, Ophelia was killed—by Vincent himself. Elosia hung from Vincent’s half-naked body with a smirk as Ophelia lay in a pool of her own blood. “Thank you for giving me and Vincent such an amazing wedding gift, best friend.” Only in her final breath did Ophelia realize the cruel truth—this was the world of a novel, and she was dying the death of the villainess who killed the male and female leads for love. Ophelia laughed bitterly at her fate. In pain. In misery. Realizing that being unloved and betrayed was always destined for her. But when she woke up again—twenty years old, five years before the story began—she made a different choice. This time, she wouldn’t fight for love. She would fight for revenge. Ophelia proposed a contract marriage to the man she once ruined with her own hands—her former enemy, the heir to the most powerful family on the continent, Kayros Natheniel. “I have two conditions,” Kayros said calmly. “I’ll accept whatever,” Ophelia replied coldly. “First—you don’t meddle in my business. Second—I decide when this marriage ends. of course not before three years even if you beg me to.” But in that moment, Ophelia never imagined — The most dangerous man in the novel’s world would become obsessed with her instead, obsession which is worse than obsession itself “We’re not getting a divorce,” Kayros whispered with a dark smile while thrusting hard inside her, making her scream his name in pleasure. Ophelia freezes. "What? This wasn't part of the contract." Kayros's smirk doesn't disappear; instead, his beautiful blue eyes glint with domination. “Because I never planned on letting you go, my dear wife. You were born to be MINE.”

When I was 5 and mommy told me everything about my real fucking dad and it really breaks my heart anytime my ma'am and dad issue comes to my mind. My dad never wanted to take his responsibilities as a father. So, it was only my mother who was responsible for my whole life for the past years. "It is 14 years now, I have never seen my real dad. You know, it sometimes worries me a lot, but once I have mommy and Garriso around me, it makes me feel a little happier, but just that I miss my fucking dad. Mommy told me not to allow daddy to come near me or anywhere around me." "A few days ago, Mommy's cell phone rang for more than 1000 hours, but mommy didn't answer dad's call. That day, I got to know how much mommy hated hearing a word from my dad. But I don't know why my dad still wants his family back. After 14 years, daddy never wanted it, but now-- I think he needs us. Hmm mommy also feels the same worried as I used to but never wanted to talk about it, even to set her eyes to see Mr. Lucas, my real dad."

They shattered his life. Now, he’ll break the world. Ethan had it all, until his best friend and the woman he loved betrayed him, leaving him crippled and forgotten. Three years of suffering later, he clawed his way to one final, desperate act… and the universe answered. A hidden quest. A second chance. A return to the moment everything began. Now, Ethan is back, on the eve of Ethereal’s launch, the world’s first fully immersive VR game and the battlefield where legends are forged. Last time, he played fair. This time? He’s armed with years of knowledge: every exploit, every secret quest, every broken mechanic that will let him climb straight to the top. But when he logs in, something is off. The system forces him into an unwanted class—Druid, the game’s biggest joke. The kind of class people pick as a dare and regret immediately. Yet as Ethan digs deeper, the truth shakes him. [Congratulations! You have unlocked the Divine Bloodline: King of Elves!] Ethan stared at the screen, unblinking. “…The hell?” The Druid class was a jack-of-all-trades, master of none—a scattered mess of abilities that mimicked other classes but never truly excelled. Their bear form lacked the raw defense of a proper tank. Their panther form was weaker than a rogue. Their healing fell short of a priest, and their magic couldn’t compare to a mage’s devastating spells. Most players abandoned the class early, realizing they could never compete at the highest level. And yet, Ethan’s stats are off the charts. His talents are absurd. His potential is beyond anything he’s ever seen. The system has given him something no other Druid ever had—a divine bloodline, legendary abilities, and a growth rate that defies logic. If Druids were meant to be weak, then Ethan was the exception that would rewrite history. He’s not just here to reclaim his throne. He’s here to take everything. Factions will rise. Empires will fall. The strongest will thrive, and the weak will perish. And the ones who betrayed him? They won’t live to do it again.

His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By his seventeenth birthday, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had been. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened bound to a mysterious artifact—an object of overwhelming, incomprehensible power that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him. With this second opportunity, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines identity, status, and survival, he will rise above every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of strength. He will seize control of his fate. He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

In a world where all living beings possess levels, each individual starts at Level 1 and can progress by defeating monsters and developing their skills. Those born with multiple special skills are considered God's chosen, dominating the weak. The protagonist, rejected by his village and scorned by nobles, possesses a cursed skill: it causes him insatiable hunger but secretly grants him a latent power capable of making him immensely strong, should he ever learn to master it. Exiled and forced to work as a day laborer in the royal guard, he endures humiliations, harassment, and oppression, particularly from the noble Burix family. Yet, he meets Roxis Heart, a just and benevolent Holy Knight, who saves him and shows him that the world can be more than cruelty and pain. Through his trials, he discovers that his hunger is not merely physical but a manifestation of his hidden power: by consuming (literally or symbolically) the forces around him, he can absorb power, skills, and levels. His destiny then becomes to devour the world, not out of greed, but to survive and rise to the top.

This story takes place outside of and inside of a reality created by the god of this world, Zero. After his creation of the universe, we follow Slace, a human who, once getting out of the chambers, follows a revenge-driven path. (There's more after Slace, but I'll change that once we get to those chapters.) (if i don’t post within a week it means I’m busy.) (Cover made by auroris_ on discord) World so far simplified. Zero created all of reality; that's when another god came and compromised with Zero to slowly corrupt their world. Zero agreed out of fear; this other god created the Endlands. When reality was created, there were good gods and goddesses and bad ones. The good ones came from Zero's creation of reality, while the bad ones came from the Endlands. They got into a war, and the result was that only the Endlands' gods survived.  7 kingdoms govern the world well; the rest of the world is just nature and a few villages. Because of Endlands corrupting Zero's reality, it influenced the world to alter and create monsters, making the world a fantasy world.

I was an ordinary girl... until the day a mysterious note appeared: "If you wish to learn the truth of your brother's death- Climb to the top of the Sanctum of Trials." For two years, I chased a ghost - the murderer who brutally took away the only family I had left. My parents died in a plane crash when I was young, and my kind older brother was the last light in my life... until he was taken from me too. Grief became rage. Love became obsession. Revenge became my only purpose to live. And then - the portal swallowed me. When I opened my eyes, I stood inside a colossal Tower that connects countless doomed worlds, surrounded by people from different planets, eras, races, and bloodlines - humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, even newborn gods. A glowing System screen appeared, announcing us as participants chosen to climb for the entertainment of gods who lurk beyond the skies. Each of the 100 floors contains a world on the verge of collapse - a tragic story doomed to repeat forever. To ascend, we must save that world's ending while trapped inside the life of a character who belongs there. If we fail... we die.

Shen Yelan was the disgrace of the Shen family. Called a jinx and a bad omen, she was despised and scorned by the very people who should have protected her. That was until the Shen family discovered she wasn’t even their biological daughter. Furious at having wasted years on the imposter while their own blood had suffered, they sold her off, leading to her tragic and unjust death. But death was not the end. When she opened her eyes again, the gaze that looked upon the world was icy and detached. The soul that now inhabited Shen Yelan's body belonged to the most feared and legendary assassin, Li Mei. After a lifetime drenched in blood, she craves only a peaceful, ordinary life. But first, she has one final mission: revenge. There’s just one problem. For some reason, a certain second young master won’t leave her alone. Everyone in the city knows about Huo Ziyan. Cold as winter frost, handsome as sin, and absolutely untouchable. He's built a business empire before age twenty and crushed anyone foolish enough to cross him. Rumor has it he doesn't have a heart. So why does he keep showing up wherever she goes? . . . “Baby, you said this was your last mission.” “It is.” “Then after it's over, marry me, okay?” “……Get lost.”

At first, I only wanted to open an orphanage to care for abandoned Pokémon. Some were timid. Some were hurt. Some no longer trusted humans. One day, the little ones asked me: > “WHY WERE WE ABANDONED?” I didn’t give them an answer. Instead, I chose to let them grow, heal, and find that answer themselves. Slowly, the abandoned Pokémon began to change, from fragile and forgotten… to strong, confident and unstoppable. In this orphanage, they found warmth. They found purpose. They found a new beginning. And together, we proved one thing: Even those who were once abandoned can shine brighter than anyone else. 我在宝可梦世界开福利院 PATREON.COM/C0DX ADDITIONAL TAGS ✔️ Pokémon ✔️ Healing ✔️ Slice of Life ✔️ System ✔️ Wholesome ✔️ Found Family ✔️ No Smut ✔️ No NTR ✔️ No Harem (Most Probably) ✔️ No Gore ✔️ Safe for All Ages (should be)

This is the rise of The Fifth Bloodline— and the world isn’t ready.

In a world where magic is not a fairy tale but a deadly science, and power is measured by the reserve of mana and the accuracy of the strike, lives Airon. But Airon is no ordinary elven boy.

After a sudden and absurd death in a car crash, Airon, an invalid in his previous life, gains a fully functional body for the first time. His sole goal is to live that full, free life he never had, using knowledge and power to achieve it.

She was born with a fortune locked until her twenty-first birthday and a family that fed her slow poison disguised as bedtime milk. It started as a gift from a boy who knelt in a crowded hallway and asked a dying girl to marry him, when she laughed in his face. Now it– *the white porcelain fox with nine tails* burns against her chest every night, warm as living skin, counting down in silver numbers that appear only when no one else is looking. Every day the numbers shrink. Every day she fades. Every day he gets closer. He never follows her. He never touches her. Yet she wakes with his fingerprints bruised into her ribs. He never speaks her name. Yet she hears it in every silence. She thinks the poison is killing her. She has no idea the real danger is the boy who decided long ago that if she dies, he dies with her and if she lives,she lives as his. --- ❄️NOTE❄️ 18+ | Dark | No HEA ❄️Contains: murder, slow poisoning, heavy obsession/stalking, CNC/dubcon, memory loss, permanent separation, and a tragic ending that will wreck you.
