At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

Omegas can't be idols.That's the unspoken rule. They're too fragile, too vulnerable to heats, and too easy to exploit. The industry would chew them up and spit them out, if they even got a chance in the first place. But Han Jiwon doesn't care about rules. Armed with scent blockers, forged papers, and a stubbornness that borders on insanity, he disguises himself as a beta and auditions for Rise Of The Idols —the most cutthroat survival show in the country. One hundred and one trainees enter. Only seven will debut. The competition is brutal. The dorms are crawling with alphas, the cameras never stop rolling, and every other contestant is hungry for a spot. One wrong move, one slip in control, one whiff of pheromones, and Jiwon's dream is over. But he's not just fighting rivals. He's fighting exhaustion, sabotage, and the terrifying pull of instincts he's spent years suppressing. Because if the world discovers that the “beta dark horse” is really an omega… Will it destroy him? Or will he become the first omega idol to shine on stage?

Wherever they go, all joy disappears, leaving behind only the deepest fears in people's hearts. Legend has it that under the hood of a Dementor lies a face that can devour souls... "That's the theory," Cohen Norton did not deny. "But this doesn't affect my desire to be a good person. No, it's weird."

In the "Multiverse of Gods," Sunny, a mundane delivery man, is thrust into a new reality as the god Cosmos. He is tasked with cultivating a barren, water-filled planet named Veridia, armed only with a formidable but initially useless SSS-grade talent, "Skill-Resonance," which allows him to copy skills from his planet's lifeforms every 100 planetary years. Sunny's journey begins with him using his divine power to create the first microscopic life, a single algae, and manipulate his world's accelerated time to foster evolution. As life flourishes on Veridia, so do the challenges. Sunny discovers the gods are not merely creators but participants in a high-stakes game. A global notification warns of daily "misfortunes" that will plague their worlds, forcing them to use precious Faith points to protect their creations. The stakes are raised further when he realizes the multiverse is a finite space and that gods will eventually be forced to clash with each other. To prepare for this inevitable conflict, he must accelerate his world's development, creating powerful demigod creatures to serve as defenders. The story follows Sunny as he navigates the cutthroat world of the gods, strategically using his cunning and limited resources to build a thriving civilization and prepare for the ultimate fight for survival against forces both natural and divine.

Kagenori was born with the blood of both the Uchiha and Senju, yet neither side accepted him. The Uchiha refused to acknowledge him, denying him even their surname. The people of Konoha kept their distance—he was a reminder of a history they wished to forget. When Kagenori finally turned his back on the village, the entire Hidden Leaf pointed their fingers at him. Hiruzen Sarutobi: “You once said you wanted to protect this village. Why betray it now?” Danzo Shimura: “You insolent brat... How dare you outsmart me!” Minato Namikaze: “How can you move fast enough to match my Flying Thunder God?!” Kagenori: “You labeled me a traitor long before I ever became one. So tell me… how am I wrong for accepting the title you gave me?”

Dragons want to hoard her. Elves want to bind her. Wolves want to scent-mark her. Leopards want to chase and claim her. And the Beast King wants her for reasons darker than desire. Her arrival ignites war, obsession, and an uncontrollable pull between her and the four most powerful males in the realm. Their instincts say “mate.” Her humanity says “run.” But fate has its own rules— and the Beastworld never lets go of what it wants.

And every time she looks into his eyes, she forgets why she should run. He’s dangerous, untouchable, and sin wrapped in velvet. And somehow, she keeps finding herself in his arms instead of his dungeon. Claire tells herself she’s just surviving. Yeren tells himself she’s just a pawn. But the moment their lips meet, neither one believes their own lies anymore. Because… this puppet is starting to pull back. And when she cuts his strings, the whole damn kingdom will burn - no exaggeration there. A dark royal romance full of obsession, trauma, betrayal, and slow, sinful heat. Perfect for readers who want their fantasy dangerous, their lovers doomed, and their happy endings bloody. Do read responsibly.

Soul Mechas were forged to punish the Eldritch Monsters that attack this world from Beyond the Glass. But they can only be powered by those who bond with ancient mythical souls from that world. Unfortunately, Souls are only attracted to negative emotions: helplessness, anguish, and loss. The deeper and more wronged, the better. However, regardless of the empire's pressure on the people to produce the best Soulbounded Warriors and the heavy stigma from his father's curse, Soren remains a happy boy, a dreamer. Until he ends up with the worst soul bond in history after 'The Touching Glass Ceremony.' An F-rank soul. Trash even amongst trash. Even the commoners laughed when his rank was called. Beggars in rags celebrated and claimed to be above him. But was it really the worst soul bond ever? Because, when an Eldritch monster ravages their town and kills all that he loves, Soren finds himself repeating the same day again and again, bathing in unimaginable pain and death that forces him to grow, evolve, and confront questions that plague the empire, his father's mysterious curse, soul rituals, and the Eldritchs' true goals on earth. Each loop leaves him hungrier, stronger...but less human. As the lines between man, soul, and machine blur, Soren must decide the very fate of the world...
