Bloodhounds: White Ash

Joe Yabuki was once a champion. At 20, he became the OPBF Bantamweight Champion, conquering the Asia Pacific boxing scene. But his brutal fighting style and harsh weight cuts took their toll. After his devastating match against Jose Mendoza for the WBC and WBA belts at age 21, Joe's body gave out. Parkinsonism—triggered by Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy from repeated head trauma—forced him into retirement. His trembling hands, deteriorating depth perception, and failing reflexes ended the career of a world-class boxer. Six years later, at 27, Joe is broke. Every cent from his championship days has gone toward treatment in Seoul, searching for a cure that doesn't exist. When his doctor delivers the final verdict—that his condition is permanent and will only worsen—Joe's last hope dies with it. That same night, while eating at a small restaurant run by a kind elderly woman, Joe witnesses a loan shark scheme. Team Manager Yoo In-yeong from "Smile Capital" attempts to trap the old woman in a predatory contract disguised as pandemic relief. Joe intervenes, exposing the hidden clauses. His decision to stand up for someone else—despite having nothing left himself—sets off a chain of events that will drag him back into a world he thought he'd left behind. As thugs surround the restaurant, Joe Yabuki must face a question: Can a broken champion, whose hands shake and reflexes have dulled, still fight? His glory has vanished. His spirit has dimmed. His body is failing him. But Joe decides to burn once more. Burn until he becomes white ash. --- Bloodhounds: White Ash is a story about a fallen champion's struggle against his failing body, loan sharks, and the ghosts of his past—a tale of one man's decision to ignite what little fire remains, even if it means burning himself to nothing. --- Copyright Disclaimer Fanfiction Notice: This is a fanfiction work based on the Netflix K-Drama Bloodhounds (2023) and its source webtoon.

Interstellar BeastWorld : Every man must worship my feet

WARNING: MATURE SEX CONTENT AND LOTS OF TRIGGERS. READERS BE ADVISED. I a warning you, if you don't like morally dark male leads, don't read. WSA SUPPORT. In the sprawling beast-realm galaxies, a woman's power means nothing without a womb that bears fruit. Status, strength, supernatural gifts—all rendered worthless against the singular measure of fertility. Jinx, a descendant from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan learned this lesson in blood and betrayal. For years, she loved blindly. Her werewolf husband, Fenris, repaid that devotion with public humiliation, poisoned meals designed to keep her weak and barren, and a parade of mistresses who laughed at the "broken fox" he kept chained through manipulation. When an "accident" finally claimed her life, Jinx died with his mocking laughter still echoing in her ears. Death, however, wasn't finished with her. She claws her way back from the void, but she doesn't return alone. Bonded to a mysterious system that grants her abilities beyond anything the beast realms have witnessed, Jinx rises—wearing the mask of the fool everyone already believes her to be. Let them underestimate her. Let them see only the barren, broken woman they discarded. They won't see the blade until it's already at their throats. As Jinx dismantles her enemies piece by piece—ruining fortunes, exposing secrets, and watching the mighty crumble—she encounters something she never anticipated: Flynn, a beast lord whose eyes hold neither hunger nor contempt when they meet hers. A man who speaks to her as an equal. Is he another predator in clever disguise? Or something far more dangerous to her hardened heart—someone genuine? Caught between vengeance and vulnerability, Jinx must navigate deadly politics, unlikely alliances, and the terrifying possibility that not every man deserves her wrath. But one thing remains certain: those who made her suffer will pay the terrible price.

The Sovereign Of Black Light

On Earth-10, a world ten times larger than our own, survival is no longer guaranteed. Monsters pour from portals known as Dungeons, each one a domain of gods, horrors, and impossible power. Humanity’s only hope lies in the Awakened — chosen individuals who gain blessings and classes from the divine. Warriors, Mages, Priests, Assassins… all destined to grow, evolve, and one day become legends. But Ashura Bellet was not chosen. While his peers gained power and glory, Ashura was left with nothing — no blessing, no class, no future. Mocked by healers, nearly killed by a slime, burdened with his mother’s illness and the weight of supporting his younger sister, he lived as a mercenary scraping coin and bleeding in every raid. Weak, timid, and hesitant… until the day everything changed. A raid gone wrong. A dungeon no one had ever seen before. A place where purple lightning fell endlessly from the heavens, erasing even the strongest Awakened in an instant. Ashura should have died with the rest. Instead, the lightning struck him again and again — burning his body, breaking his mind — until it carved something new into his very soul. He awakened not to a blessing, but to something outside the system. An Unknown Class, forged by the storm itself. When Ashura emerged from the dungeon, he was no longer the timid mercenary everyone mocked. His hair turned white, his eyes burned with arrogance, and his body radiated the storm’s power. With a black blade in one hand and purple lightning crackling in the other, he had only one rule now: “I don’t underestimate. I don’t forgive. And I don’t stop.” Enemies see him as a monster. Allies see him as a madman who poses with no one watching, flexing his aura as though mocking the world itself. But behind the arrogance lies a ruthless killer, a cunning survivor, and a power that should never have existed. Because Ashura’s lightning isn’t from any god. It belongs to something older. Something forgotten. Something that wants him to burn the world.

Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.
