Yugen Fujiki wakes up in a world where everything is decided by Duel Monsters. Wars, business deals, status, even your future all comes down to the cards in your deck. There is one problem. The body he takes over is a one-star loser at a paid dueling dojo, stuck grinding part-time jobs just to buy expensive, useless cards. If Yugen wants to survive here, he needs power, and power means getting into Duel Academy. But Duel Academy does not accept weaklings. He needs three stars first. So Yugen does what this world is not ready for. While everyone chases big monsters and flashy attacks, he builds a deck that does not let the opponent play at all. Hand destruction. Trap denial. Slow, cruel control that turns every duel into a mental breakdown. His first test is a public duel against the dojo’s proud new three-star senior. By the time the crowd understands what is happening, it is already too late. ____ IF you want to support me https://p*****.com/ReagenWriter15

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

I woke from a dream, unintelligible mutterings echoing in my ears. I had forgotten myself, lost my past. I looked around, only to find I was already in hell, explosions rang through the blue sky, bullets ravaged the streets like a torrent, and the fires of war burned on this land without pause. The creatures who lived here had bodies that looked fragile yet were unfazed by ordinary firearms, they formed factions for their own ends, and spent their days slaughtering one another. Then, they found me... They called themselves students, and told me this place was called Kivotos. They also addressed me as, "Sensei." ---- Source: https: ()//()www.trxs( . )cc/ () tongren/ () 8630. )(html Author: Otter of Chaos

Roger Desilva. My old customer was thrusting me from behind. I was enduring pain by closing my eyes, which was a bloody mistake yet again. The same enchanting smile popped up in my mind, which I was trying to get rid of for the past 5 years, but til today, I wasn’t successful. Before I could figure out that mingling was different from snatching, it was too late. He came like a swift wind, turned my world upside down, and vanished without a trace. I became a victim. Do we deserve this? Do I deserve this? I lost everything, but till now, I have not been successful in getting rid of his thoughts. For the past 5 years, I have been trying, but he keeps winning.

After dying from unpaid overtime (and maybe a little too much caffeine), Rin Lee wakes up in a world filled with magic, danger... and far too many ridiculously attractive men. Before he can even process what's happening, a glowing blue window appears. [Welcome, Host! You have been selected by the BL System.] [Complete your romantic missions or face immediate tragic death.] "HUH?! SYSTEM, what do you mean 'tragic death'?! And more importantly... BL?!" Now trapped in a story that seems determined to embarrass him at every turn, Rin must survive chaotic love quests, suspicious holy knights, eccentric demons, and one impossibly handsome Demon General who's supposedly destined to destroy the world. The problem? The BL System insists he's Rin's perfect match. "OH, GREAT SYSTEM! PLEASE, JUST KILL ME NOW! THERE'S NO WAY I CAN MAKE THE DEMON GENERAL FALL IN LOVE WITH ME!" "You're here again?" the Demon General asks with a faint smile. "You really do enjoy following me around. Should I finally take you on that date you mentioned?" "HUH?! WAIT—WHEN DID I EVER SAY THAT?! I'M GOING TO DIE TODAY!!" A chaotic fantasy full of comedy, slow-burn romance, mystery, and one very persistent System that absolutely refuses to let its Host rest.

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
