In the chaotic streets of Nursa, survival is a daily battle, and no one knows that better than Laxyie, a young man forged by loss and hardened by necessity. Orphaned at seven, his mother slain in the aftermath of his father’s deadly past, Laxyie has learned to fend for himself, taking on any job that keeps him alive. When a chance encounter in the tavern sets him on a path to Selam, a bustling town of wine, music, and hidden dangers, Laxyie finds himself facing a world far larger and more perilous than the streets of Nursa. Across the province of Zorka, threats wait in every forest, river, and alley: bandits, mercenaries, and those who wield power beyond imagination. But Laxyie has no illusions about family or legacy. He carries anger, resentment, and a single unshakable focus: survival and mastery of his own skill. From the shadows of crowded towns to the wilds of Zorka, he will carve his path with blade, wit, and relentless determination. In a world teeming with assassins, elves, dragons, and sea monsters, where powers lie in bloodlines and secrets, Laxyie’s journey is just beginning. The question is not whether he can survive—but whether he will become something far greater than the sins of his father.

Seraphina Vale dies on her knees in the palace courtyard, executed as a “traitor” by order of her own fiancé, Crown Prince Adrian. One minute she’s watching the blade drop. The next, she wakes up three months earlier, still engaged, still trapped inside the same smiling cage. This time she doesn’t try to prove she’s innocent. Innocent girls still get beheaded. She runs straight to the one man the palace fears more than the Crown Prince: Duke Cassian Nocten. The Emperor’s blade. The cold noble everyone calls a monster. The man who executed her with his own hands. Seraphina makes him an offer she never thought she’d say out loud: a contract engagement. No love. No trust. Just protection, power, and a public shield Adrian can’t quietly crush. But the moment she steps into Nocten territory, the palace moves early—an assassination charge, knights at the gate, and her name dragged through blood again. Now Seraphina has to survive long enough to rip out the truth behind her first death… while living under the roof of the duke she hates, the only man who can keep her alive, and the one man who might kill her again if she slips. Tags: rebirth, contract engagement, noble politics, slow-burn romance, enemies-to-lovers, palace conspiracy, high stakes.

Seraphina Vale dies in chains on what was supposed to be her wedding day—executed as a traitor while the crown prince she loved smiles, and her “innocent” stepsister sheds perfect, practiced tears beside him. Then she wakes three years earlier, back at the Spring Selection Ball, drenched in wine and humiliation—the night her life was ruined from the start. This time, Seraphina won’t beg or explain.

In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver.

Shu Yao has always loved Bai Qi. Silently. Secretly. With the kind of devotion that doesn’t ask to be returned. But Bai Qi has never looked his way—not like that. His eyes have always been on Shu Yao’s younger sister, Qing Yue. Bright, soft-spoken, radiant in the ways Shu Yao was told boys should never be. So Shu Yao stays quiet. He smiles when he must. He bleeds where no one can see. When a high fever forces him to break his routine and drop his mask, everything begins to shift. Bai Qi offers help—clumsy, well-meaning, but blind to the damage it causes. Shu Yao, too used to locking his doors and swallowing his ache, can’t bring himself to let it in. Not when every kindness feels like pity. Not when his dreams are haunted by things he can’t say aloud.

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.

"A Rejected Omega, A Dark Alpha Prince and their twisted dangerous fate." Amelie Conley, the eldest daughter of a revered Alpha family, was once expected to carry on her family’s proud legacy. However, when she turned sixteen, she failed to awaken her wolf, which made her earn the scornful title—the Curse of the Conley Family. At eighteen, she found her destined mate and carried his child, believing she had finally been given a chance at happiness. But when she rushed to share the news, she found him in a compromising position with her younger sister, Flora. Betrayal cut deeper than any wound, but the final blow came when he rejected her without hesitation, declaring Flora as his true mate. Shunned and heartbroken, Amelie made the painful decision to leave her pack for the sake of her unborn child. But just as she tried to escape, she was ambushed—hunted down like prey. Desperate to protect herself and the life growing inside her, Amelie fled to save herself and her unborn child, only to collapse into the arms of an enigmatic stranger—Gabriel Sinclair. Gabriel was no ordinary man. He was the Alpha Prince, a name feared across the nation. For twelve long years, he had scoured the lands for his mate, only to find nothing. He had convinced himself that the Moon Goddess despised him, just as his own mother had. But the moment he laid eyes on Amelie, everything changed. "You were marked, weren't you?" His voice dropped, edged with something dangerously close to possession as his gaze met hers, demanding the truth.  The question left Amelie in a dilemma. She didn't wish to tell him the truth. "I am not an ordinary wolf, Amelie. Who the fuck marked you before me?" Gabriel voiced in a possessive yet intimidating tone.  Amelie didn’t know that the man, who saved her was none other than the infamous Dark Tyrant—the Alpha Prince, Gabriel Sinclair, whose intentions were still unknown to her. ~~~~ **The Story is a pure fiction.

The world is diverse and flourishing. Humanity has changed, and with it, brought in a new era of prosperity. Males and females still exist, but the spectrum from which humanity is cast has broadened. With the introduction of alpha, omega, and beta, humanity has evolved even further. In such a word, Dr. Andrew Knox, known environmental researcher, is happy being a beta male. It has made his life easier by being middle ground, and as much as some wish he was one way or the other, he’s happy being who he is. Thriving even. He works in a world renowned research facility. He makes friends easily, and his projects are always funded. He even found someone who he thinks he could end up marrying if things continue in the right direction. That, and the vacant house next to his apartment building gets bought by a new neighbour. A cute, but cautious omega who relies on Andrew as a beta for help. Andrew couldn’t be happier. He loves being a helper, and loves when people rely on him. All in all, Andrew really thinks he has everything made. That is, until a research project with shoddy data is thrown back into his face that he has no recollection of working on, and all of his reputation disintegrates in between one heartbeat and the next. Heartbroken, it isn’t until Andrew wakes up, chained to a wall that everything becomes clear. He becomes a test subject to one of the scientists that he trusted. That he expected would never harm him. The life he had known, where he was a respected researcher was ripped out from underneath him. His identity and everything he’s ever known is stolen from him from a crazed researcher who he had trusted, maybe even loved. He has to relearn who he is, what he is, from scratch.
