Check Out: I Am Not A Pro Fourteen years ago, the youngest daughter of the legendary Sunaina family disappeared. A tragedy, a mystery. A family drama big enough to make an entire mansion run out of tissues. The Sunaina family searched everywhere for their lost child. And after 14 long years...They finally found her. The only problem? They expected a cute little daughter who would run into their arms crying. Instead, they found Maya. -------★★------ Maya is an orphan living quietly in a small rented house in the countryside. She has no money. No powerful background no legendary bloodline. At least, that's what she thinks. She has no idea her birth certificate is basically a hidden treasure map. She is just trying to survive her ordinary life. Unfortunately... The universe looked at her peaceful existence and said: "That seems too easy. Let's add some chaos." ---------- One day at school, Maya meets Mahi Sunaina—the terrifyingly influential head of the Sunaina family. Everything seems normal. Until Maya notices the bracelet on Mahi's hand. Her only thought was: "I think I am doomed." Wait a minute... why does this feel like a suspiciously important plot device? And just like that...Her quiet life ends. 'Congratulations, Maya.' You have unlocked the 'Secret Rich Family Daughter' achievement. Rewards include: - Confused relatives. - Endless family drama. - And absolutely no peaceful days. ---------- The Sunaina family finally gets their missing daughter back. But they soon realize something terrifying. The little girl they lost 14 years ago is gone. The person standing before them is someone completely different. Maya is intelligent, she is suspicious of everyone. Her trust level is lower than a villain's chance of staying dead after a dramatic final battle. The family wanted their daughter back. They got a mystery instead. _________ This world may look like a beautiful romance fantasy. A world filled with destiny, miracles, and characters who somehow always meet at the perfect dramatic moment. But Maya knows the truth, She knows how this story ends. So, she has one simple response: "No." -------- From now on, everyone is a piece on the board. Family members? Potential allies. Enemies? Potential problems. People with suspicious smiles? Definitely problems. -------- Maya doesn't want to be a hero. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. And fate has never learned that forcing a stubborn person into a story usually creates a bigger disaster. ★★ Note : Attention, dear readers. Before you start searching for romance, love triangles, or a collection of handsome characters fighting for Maya's attention... Please stop. The romance department has been permanently closed. The harem application form has been lost, rejected and permanently deleted. Please do not send requests; she is already busy managing disasters. Tag: Female MC Schedule: 1–2 Chapters / Week Chapter Length: 3500–4500 words ------ Warning: Maya is not a hero. She is not a perfect angel who forgives everyone after one emotional speech. She is not the kind of protagonist who sees someone crying and immediately says, "Don't worry, I will save you!" Her first thought is more likely: "How is this my problem?" She is cynical, complicated, and definitely not a walking sunshine generator. She may even make you ask: "Am I supposed to support her plan or call someone?" If you want a sweet protagonist who helps everyone in trouble... This is probably not your cup of tea. But if you want to watch a girl with a complicated past challenge destiny, family drama, and the ridiculous rules of a fantasy world... Welcome. The chaos begins here. ★★★★ I am a new writer, so please forgive any spelling or grammar mistakes. I am still learning, improving, and trying to make this story better with every chapter. Writing a story is easy...Until grammar appears as the final boss. I hope you enjoy the chaos.

For longer than he can remember, Ifrit has wandered through countless timelines, shattered realities, and impossible universes. He has witnessed the rise and fall of gods. He has watched civilizations burn, be reborn, and vanish without a trace. He has buried friends whose names even history forgot. He has seen lovers swear eternal devotion, only to become passing memories in the endless flow of existence. At some point, he stopped counting his age. At some point, he stopped searching for answers. Yet one question continues to follow him across every reality: What am I? In a multiverse governed by timelines, concepts, divine laws, and the mysterious World Clock, there exists a forbidden truth hidden from gods and mortals alike. A truth so terrifying that entire pantheons erased themselves rather than remember it. The truth of The Nameless One. When ancient seals begin to break and forgotten timelines awaken, Ifrit finds himself at the center of a cosmic conflict older than existence itself. Gods fear him. Concepts reject him. Reality struggles to define him. Because Ifrit is the only being who exists across all realities without another version of himself. As the boundaries between universes collapse and the First War threatens to begin anew, Ifrit must uncover the secret buried within his own existence. But the closer he gets to the answer, the more horrifying the truth becomes. For Ifrit is not searching for the Nameless One. The Nameless One may be searching for him. And if he ever remembers the forgotten truth hidden beyond gods, beyond time, and beyond existence itself... Reality may be forced to decide what it truly is for the very first time. "I have crossed infinite worlds, buried countless memories, and outlived civilizations beyond number." "But after all this time..." "I still don't know what I am."

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.

Han Liang came to Ying Mountain on a mission. Yuan Yu was never supposed to be part of it. One carries the blood of the White Dragon. The other hears what jade stones remember—fragments of the past, and whispers of what has yet to come. Their paths cross beneath falling peach blossoms. A rooftop. A single glance. A moment that should have meant nothing. It didn't. As the truth begins to surface, the past refuses to remain in the past. Old betrayals and old revenge awaken once more, while the shadows surrounding the Imperial Palace grow ever darker. In a world ruled by powerful sects, ancient bloodlines, and wars fought from the shadows, some connections are more dangerous than open enemies. And some things, once begun, cannot be stopped. A slow-burn BL wuxia romance of political intrigue, hidden powers, palace conspiracies, ancient bloodlines, revenge, and a pomegranate tree planted long before either of them knew why.

But their reunion is a fragile illusion. Summer cooks dinner, hums softly, and clings to him with desperate affection, her love curdled into obsession. Scott plays along, haunted by what she became and what he caused. As their past sins resurface and new temptations close in, both are forced to confront the darkness that binds them.

Yasenia is a child born different from the rest. Her mother, Tatyana, used an ancient technique she found to absorb the world's energy to get pregnant instead of having regular intercourse. Her objective was to create a lover for herself after the endless years of solitude, and all the heartbreaks that covered her heart in eternal ice. While pregnant, a strange soul seems to try to seize her child's body to be reborn; a shame that Tatyana is someone not to be messed with. In her rage, she destroys the sense of self and memories, leaving only a husk of the soul, and uses it to nourish Yasenia. What Tatyana didn't know at that time was that this would change Yasenia in ways she never expected.

ILLUSION FORMS — THE SAGA OF HIDDEN IDENTITY "Can a single thought become a death sentence? Can a spoken word reshape reality?" Legend speaks of an ancient era where power was so absolute that even a faint thought of betrayal or harm towards the Supreme beings resulted in instant death, regardless of distance. Their every word was an immutable law, and their 'Vows' were unbreakable chains of destiny. It is said that these terrifying powers were eventually bound within primordial Seals, for no mortal vessel could ever contain such a devastating cosmic weight without shattering. But where those powers went remains the world's greatest mystery. In a modern era dominated by vampires and shadows, three strangers find themselves entangled in a fate they cannot comprehend: The Silent Mask: A child who survives behind a fragile veil of innocence. Trusting no one and relying only on himself, he is a master of manipulation, subtly controlling the minds and circumstances of those around him for his own protection. He is the quiet storm that no one sees coming. The Invisible Pull: A youth with defiant eyes and unwavering confidence. He is haunted by an unexplainable magnetic pull toward people he has never met, as if his very soul is searching for its missing fragments. The Stern Shell: A ruthless protector who has turned his heart into stone to shield his own. Wary of outsiders and fiercely loyal, he guards his secrets with a cold, lethal precision. As the ancient Seals begin to crack, a terrifying question arises: Are these three merely victims of fate, or are they the very catastrophe the world tried to lock away? "A true ruler does not need a blade to conquer. He only needs to speak—and the world shall kneel."

Across the lands of North America, urban legends run rampant. Malevolent Alessa torments the living, Freddy harvests souls in dreams, Jason swings his machete by the lakeside, demons wear the skin of nuns, and Annabelle toys with human hearts through curses… Here, survival is the only luxury ordinary people can hope for. But Sephirot, nephew of Dante, the legendary demon hunter, never considered these so-called urban legends to be a threat. “This shot is called Silver Baptism.” Holy silver bullets blew apart the demon nun’s head. “This strike is called Dimensional Slash.” A flash of blade-light passed, and Freddy’s dreamscape was torn apart by force. Sephirot stepped on Jason’s head, arrogantly chambering another round. “That’s it?” … Until that day, when the forbidden seal of the cabin in the woods was opened. An ancient god broke free from its cocoon, and a shadow vast enough to blot out the sky enveloped the entire city. Sephirot’s bullets could only leave a faint white mark. Even the Dimensional Slash, said to sever all things, merely scraped off a layer of the creature’s skin. Faced with such despair, everyone thought Sephirot was doomed. But then they saw him sigh, pull a communicator from his coat, and say: “Uncle, if you don’t show up soon, I’m telling Lady you secretly used her card again.” At that moment, the sky was forcibly torn open by a crimson greatsword. A white-haired man dressed in red stepped through the void, looking visibly annoyed. “Tch. You’re getting less and less cute, threatening your elder over some little demon.” ------------------------- Note 1: This is a crossover fanfiction that includes elements from anime, movies, TV series, and video games. It takes inspiration from many different works, including but not limited to Devil May Cry, Silent Hill, Wrong Turn, Resident Evil, Hostel, Constantine, The Nun, and Orphan, among others. Note 2: I know crossover fanfiction can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it mixes so many different settings and lores together. To make things easier, I’ll be adding a small section at the end of many chapters to explain certain lore details, references, or story elements for readers who may not be familiar with every series involved.

Vinny’s life is a cycle of guilt, shame, and failure. Trapped between a disappointed mother and a future he can’t face, even stepping outside feels unbearable. His only escape is Griffin, a magnetic, beautiful chef he has never met, yet knows almost intimately through his videos. To Vinny, Griffin is perfect. Too perfect. His obsession runs deeper than attraction, it’s a hunger he can’t confess, not to his family and not to anyone. One morning, locked in his room, Vinny gives in to his forbidden fantasy. But when the rush fades, he’s left with the same crushing truth: Griffin will never know him. Or so he thought. Because soon, Vinny’s obsession will no longer be one sided, and when their worlds collide, neither of them will ever be the same.

Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.
