Delfina’s heart shatters when her so-called fiancé, Filippo, abandons her at the altar on the day they are meant to exchange vows. His excuse; he must rush to the side of her stepsister, who was coincidentally involved in an accident. Refusing to be discarded so easily, Delfina confronts him, only to witness a cruel, heartless side of Filippo she never knew existed. Broken and desperate, she pleads for help, but her family turns their backs on her, choosing silence over justice all because their marriage was an arranged alliance. Rescued by her best friend, Delfina seeks escape in a nightclub, determined to drown her pain in alcohol. What she never expects is to spend one reckless night with the very man she should never have crossed paths with—an encounter that leaves her pregnant. Dominic Silvestri is the feared heir to the underground mafia world, ruling from the shadows with an iron fist. Ruthless and untouchable, there is only one thing preventing him from officially claiming his father’s throne—an heir. Years after that unforgettable night with a mysterious woman, Dominic sees her again but this time, with a young boy who looks unmistakably like him. With his father watching and enemies closing in, Dominic has no choice but to offer Delfina a contract marriage—one designed to deceive his father and secure his position. But Delfina didn’t return just to survive. She comes back with two goals; to make her family pay for their betrayal and to stop Filippo from selling the shares she owns in his company. What happens when the dangerous man she’s supposed to fear wants to keep her around like a possession until he gets what he wants? Will Delfina use him just as ruthlessly as he is using her? And what will become of them when enemies from both sides unite to tear them apart?

In a rain-soaked Amegakure, a quiet pariah named Zaraki Kita navigates life at the fringes of shinobi society. When she crosses paths with Konan, the angelic and enigmatic Akatsuki, sparks fly in unexpected ways. Amid rooftop barbecues, playful teasing, and the chaos of a rogue organization gone bizarrely domestic, a tender romance blossoms—against a backdrop of prejudice, war, and societal expectations. As north meets south, feelings stir in the quiet corners of a world that doesn’t understand them, and even the infamous Akatsuki can’t stay serious for long. Note: Whitewash Akatsuki!

Haruto Kurosawa was supposed to die in a dungeon. Abandoned by his party and left as bait for a Black Dragon, he should have been nothing more than a forgotten E-rank failure. Instead… he was summoned into another world by mistake. Not as a hero. Not as a savior. But as an accident. Rejected by the summoning ritual, Haruto is dropped into a dangerous world filled with humans, demi-humans, monsters, and ancient kingdoms on the edge of war. A mysterious system awakens inside him. [Beast Tamer System Activated] Unlike others, Haruto can tame not only beasts—but intelligent beings as well. And every victory brings something impossible: He evolves. He gains skills, powers… and even the abilities of those he defeats. But there is a catch. The world he was thrown into hides a truth a forgotten summoning mistake… a missing hero… and a system that was never meant to exist. With a demi-human girl who owes him her life, and a growing power that defies logic, Haruto begins a journey to survive this world—and return to his own. But the deeper he climbs, the clearer it becomes: This world didn’t just reject him… It may have needed him all along.

Some contracts are written in ink. His was written in blood and he never signed it. Dante Kōgetsu is the best at what he does. No target too difficult. No contract refused. No emotion wasted. He built his reputation on one principle: finish the job and walk away clean. Then a contract arrived with a photograph inside. Her face. Sophie Arisaka. The only person who ever made him feel like a human being rather than a weapon. He faked her death, lied to the client, and told himself it was a calculated decision. It was not. Now he is hunting the anonymous man who ordered her death and every step closer reveals a truth he is not ready for. The man behind the contract is Edward Yashiro. His oldest friend. A person who loved Sophie, lost her, and let that loss rot into something unrecognizable. What Dante does not know yet is that Edward knows everything. The demons Dante carries inside him Kairo and Mūn were not accidents. They were placed there deliberately, by someone who chose him before he was old enough to refuse. And every time Dante uses their power, he pays a price no one warned him about. He loses her. Not Sophie herself. The memories of her. One by one. Quietly. Irreversibly. The job was supposed to be simple. It became a war against an old friend, against the man who made him, and against the clock running silently inside his own mind. Some things cannot be unforgiven. Some prices cannot be unpaid. Some contracts were never meant to end.

In a world where immortals walk among humans, true death is a myth. For centuries, beings who could not die ruled from the shadows, untouchable and feared.

Seo Kael, an immortal who had lived for centuries, hid his true intentions behind friendship. Knowing that the sword was the only thing that could end him, he made a choice. Betrayal.

In Ironport, an industrial city rotting under the shadow of corrupt authority, loyalty is a rare and expensive commodity. Rion, a Yakuza aristocrat betrayed by his own bloodline, is washed up on the city’s docks, bleeding out—a discarded pawn awaiting the end. Yet, fate intervenes when he is discovered by Ren, a childhood friend who now lives in the silence as an elite freelance assassin. ​Ren is not alone. Behind the closed doors of her private sanctuary, she has been raising Gin and Shawn, two seeds of the streets she nurtured with sharp survival instincts. The reunion of Rion and Ren marks the beginning of a conspiracy far grander than a mere escape. ​Tired of being the prey, they decide to build their own ecosystem. Seizing a massive, derelict warehouse to serve as their stronghold, they begin to gather other broken souls from the streets—one by one—until sixteen lives are accounted for. There, under the dim glow of tungsten lights and cold concrete walls, Nero Familia is born. ​This is no orphanage; it is an intellectual fortress. Rion instills a doctrine that separates them from the common street thugs of Ironport: "We may be criminals, but we have brains." ​As three titans—SG who commands the metal, Seifong who monopolies the powder, and Cosa Nostra who peddles the poison—begin to encroach upon their territory, Nero Familia does not retaliate with blind rage. ​This is not a story of street gangs. It is a chronicle of how a family unwanted by the world dismantles the city’s dominance through precise strategy. In Nero Familia, every move is a checkmate, and every life is an investment.

"Oh look. Another betrayal. Another truck. Another “brooding” Necromancer. You people really have simple tastes, don’t you?" Kaito was a simple electrician. He knew how to fix short circuits, but he wasn’t prepared for the absolute disaster that was his love life. When he discovered his girlfriend Lucy was cheating on him with Nick—a guy so blonde and American he practically bled apple pie—Kaito didn’t cry. He didn’t mope. He did the worst possible thing. He grabbed them both and dove headfirst under the nearest Truck-kun. The result? Nick and Lucy were reborn as the chosen Hero and Saint, beloved by the world and boosted by destiny itself. Kaito was reborn as Mordecai von Ravenloft, the edgiest Necromancer to ever grace a digital page. There’s just one problem. Mordecai has read too many trashy webnovels—and he hates every second of his new life. The System forces him to say cringe “cool lines,” assigns him quests he despises, and gave him a dark-and-handsome look that’s basically bait for thirsty fanfiction writers. His first minion is Larry, a depressed skeleton with the work ethic of a government employee on a Monday morning. Mordecai doesn’t want to save the world. He doesn’t even want to destroy it. He wants revenge. Not quick kills. Not dramatic duels. He’s here to systematically dismantle Nick and Lucy’s “Influencer Hero” careers—exposing secrets, glitching quests, and turning their perfect kingdom into a bureaucratic nightmare. Unfortunately, the System has other plans. Thanks to the cursed Protagonist Aura, Mordecai accidentally attracts a “harem” he never asked for: dysfunctional, dangerous women who treat romance like a hostile work environment. From HOA-enforcing Banshees to alchemists whose potions violate the Geneva Convention, his life only gets worse. And then there’s the progression system. How do you beat a Hero with a Holy Sword? By eating literal garbage. Broken buttons. Rat tails. Expired coupons. Consume trash, gain permanent, game-breaking stats. Who needs legendary weapons when you have [Max Shame Resistance]? This is a LitRPG satire about exploiting the System, bullying destiny, and proving that power fantasies collapse the moment someone refuses to play along. What to expect: Interactive story: the MC reads your comments—and may insult you for them Junk-Food Progression: power through pure degeneracy Dysfunctional Harem: no catgirls, only problems Pure Spite: love conquers all… unless you exploit the source code Fourth Wall Obliteration: Mordecai knows you’re reading this If you want a noble hero, go read Nick’s story. If you want to watch a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown use the apocalypse to prove how basic your tastes are— Welcome aboard. Content warning: graphic violence, strong language, excessive cringe.
