The world ended not with monsters, but with human fear. Betrayed at the moment everything collapsed, he died powerless — watching others seize the future he never reached. Death should have been the end. Instead, he awakens at the beginning of the apocalypse, bound to a sword that does not grant power freely. Every strike demands a price. Pain. Blood. Something far more precious. In a world where strength decides survival, mercy becomes a liability. If power must be paid for, then he will choose how much of himself he is willing to lose — even if the blade devours him piece by piece. Because in the apocalypse, strength is never given. It is bought.

In a world where Systems determine status, power, and survival, Kael Valeborn was born at the bottom. Discarded by his powerful family and left to die, he awakens a System unlike any ever recorded — a black-ranked anomaly that grants authority over vermin and wild beasts. While others pursue glory and rank through traditional paths, Kael builds power from the shadows. Rats become scouts. Insects become surveillance. Beasts become soldiers. As his dominion expands from forest survival to hidden kingdoms, a darker truth emerges — about the System, about the elite families, and about his own identity. Weak to strong. Beast taming. Kingdom building. Masked vigilante. A black System that should not exist. This is not the rise of a hero. This is the ascension of the Vermin Lord. [Thank you for stepping into Vermin Lord Ascension.

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities. Everything in this story is a work of imagination.

My name is Cassius Blackwood, I am the illegitimate son born between the greatest swordsman in the empire, and the master of the Magic Tower. Yes, the one people expected to be a 1-in-a-million genius. As a result, I grew up in a house full of love and kindness despite being illegitimate. That is, until my tenth birthday when I failed my awakening ceremony. You can imagine how people started treating me after that. My parents, who had high hopes for me, abandoned me. After 10 years of training in hopes of awakening, I succeeded. But only as a "systemless hunter." And as we know, it's impossible to succeed as a hunter without a system. When 'The Blackwood Trial' took place, which is meant to determine the next head of house Blackwood, as everyone expected, I was the first to die. So, why did I go back to when I was 10 years old right before my awakening ceremony? *** Tags: #transmigration (the MC isn't the transmigrator) #regression ( the MC is the regressor) #reincarnation #no-harem #romance #singlefemalelead #revenge #evil #cruel #mage #swordsman #returnee #fantasy-empire #dungeons #system( Fake system) #cultivation (done differently) #rarebloodline #action #fantasy #secretidentity join my discord: https://dsc.gg/Rerian long link: https://discord.com/invite/wARbcq8kzG

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).

**The Problem with Neutrality? Eventually, Everyone Makes You Pick a Side.** James "Jimmy" Cartwright built his reputation on two things: solving problems that violence can't fix, and never taking sides in Birmingham's brutal gang wars. As the city's premiere fixer, he forges documents, arranges blackmail, and makes the impossible possible—for anyone who can meet his price and pass his moral code. But in the winter of 1922, neutrality becomes a luxury he can no longer afford. When Thomas Shelby arrives at Jimmy's office with an impossible deadline—save Arthur from the gallows in 72 hours—the offer comes with strings attached. Work exclusively for the Peaky Blinders, and Tommy will reveal the truth about Mary Cartwright's death, the sister Jimmy lost five years ago in a suspicious factory "accident." Desperate for answers and unable to refuse, Jimmy enters the violent world of the Shelby family. His weapons aren't fists or guns, but leverage and forgery, intelligence and manipulation. While Arthur, John, and the other Blinders solve problems with violence, Jimmy dismantles enemies with nothing but a pen and his brilliant, strategic mind. But the deeper Jimmy digs into his sister's past, the more dangerous his position becomes: **A traitor lurks within the Shelby organization**, feeding information to their enemies—and that traitor has evidence that could destroy Jimmy's reputation forever. **His sister's killer isn't some factory foreman**, but a powerful Birmingham councilman who's positioned himself as untouchable, using his political influence to wage war on the Shelbys from behind closed doors. **And Jimmy's one unbreakable rule—never kill—is about to be tested** when Tommy offers the simplest solution: a bullet in the dark, and all Jimmy's problems disappear. Caught between his principles and his thirst for justice, Jimmy must orchestrate his most elaborate con yet. He'll need to outthink corrupt police, ambitious politicians, and even the Peaky Blinders themselves. Because in a world where everyone settles disputes with violence, the man who refuses to kill must be twice as clever—and three times as ruthless. They say the pen is mightier than the sword. Jimmy's about to prove it can be far more cruel. **In Small Heath, blood is cheap. Information is expensive. And loyalty costs everything.** --- Schedule: 7 chapters/week Chapter Lenght: 3000 - 4000 words

He's died before. He'll die again. This time, he's making it count. Rio Ceriano has survived the impossible: a mafia massacre that killed his family seven years ago. Now he runs a speakeasy in Chicago, keeps his head down, and avoids complications. Easy. Safe. Boring. Then Angelo Lagusa—his childhood friend who vanished the night of the massacre—walks back into his life with a letter, a new identity, and a plan for revenge against the Vanetti crime family. Rio's answer? Hard pass. But Rio isn't quite human. He reincarnates. He's lived dozens of lives, died dozens of deaths, and carries fragmented memories of each one—combat instincts he shouldn't have, knowledge of organized crime from eras he's never lived through, and the bone-deep understanding that attachment only leads to pain. He's also dangerously, catastrophically bored. "Fine. But I'm doing this the lazy way." In Prohibition-era Lawless, Illinois, Rio and Angelo infiltrate the very family that destroyed their lives. The plan is simple: get close, earn trust, turn the families against each other, and watch them burn from within. The problem? The Vanetti family is more than a target. Nero Vanetti is honorable and magnetic. Vanno treats them like real friends. Even the don shows them respect. And Rio's fragmented memories make him too good at this—too competent, too smooth, too dangerous. People notice. Worse, Rio makes his fatal mistake: he starts caring. About Angelo's self-destructive spiral into vengeance. About their friend Corteo's moral collapse. About people who should be enemies but feel like something more. The detachment that's kept him alive through countless lifetimes begins to crack. As the Orco family wages war, the Galassia family circles like sharks, and Angelo's revenge plot reaches its bloody climax, Rio faces an impossible choice: survive or stay loyal. His instincts scream run—he'll reincarnate anyway. His heart whispers something far more dangerous: stay. In a world built on betrayal, where every alliance is temporary and every friend might be tomorrow's corpse, Rio discovers that living forever means nothing if you never truly live. Lawless is about to burn. And for once, Rio's going down with it. --- For fans of: Morally complex antiheroes Crime family drama with supernatural twists Prohibition-era action and intrigue Character-driven tragedy Found family tested to destruction Reincarnation fiction with actual consequences --- "I've lived a hundred lives.
