Audrey had the face of the crown princess, and she was determined to be one. It was easy, as no one could challenge her in the crown princess selection. But, all her dreams came clashing when the rejected prince claimed her as his. Her throat hitched as the stranger walked towards her. Her gaze moved slowly to take in his outfit; it couldn’t be what she imagined. He couldn’t be royal. He was just a commoner she had met at the palace a day before. She shook her head slowly. The stranger wore a smirk on his lips, glad to have caught her unaware. She stood still confused by what was happening, and finding it hard to believe the truth. He stopped in front of her, while she cocked her head ready to question his sanity for disrupting a wedding when she felt his lips on hers.

This is an original Hunter x Hunter fanfiction — not a translation or repost. When sixteen-year-old Kagetsu Yuzuki dies saving a child from a fire, he wakes up in another world — a world of Hunters, Nen, and unending danger. Except this time… he’s not quite himself. White hair. Azure eyes that shimmer with endless depth. The legendary Six Eyes — a gift that defies the very logic of Nen. But Yuzuki isn’t here to dominate or rewrite the story. He’s kind, idealistic, and maybe a little too soft-hearted for the brutal world he’s fallen into. He believes in people. He forgives enemies who don’t deserve it. He still dreams of peace in a place where strength means survival. As he grows, fights, and learns the truth behind his powers, Yuzuki’s beliefs will be tested — because in Hunter x Hunter, kindness can save lives… or destroy them. This isn’t a power-fantasy or harem story. It’s about growth, morality, and what happens when a good heart tries to survive in a merciless world. Romance may come later, but for now, Yuzuki’s focus is on surviving, learning Nen, and finding his place in a story that isn’t his. That said — I’m open to female lead recommendations! I’d love to hear your thoughts on who might suit him best as the story unfolds. Join Yuzuki as he navigates friendship, danger, and the thin line between compassion and weakness — all while trying to make sure his heart stays intact in a world that breaks even the strongest souls.

At first, I thought the strange voice was only a dream. Now, sleep itself has become something I can't trust. Somewhere beyond my understanding, something keeps calling me back. And I still don't know why.

She is afraid of the darkness. He is the ruler of it. He is the darkness she fears. She is the only light he loves and crave. She is the moon. He is the dark night sky. And she is his. His darkest obsession, possession, and fixation. ISABELLA RUSSO had everything anyone could ever dream of: wealth, a loving family, and loyal friends. A perfect, peaceful life. But the peace crumbled the moment she saved a man, ignoring his warning to protect him from the darkness, not knowing that he was the DARKNESS.

Now he wanted her. He would have her, and nothing could stop him. Even if it meant burning the entire world, he would have her. His moon. [Mature Content] [The second couple is MM]

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

And the only way for the war to end… is the way it began. With blood. Ikemefuna awakens in this brutal world with no memories of who he was or how he came to be there. Weakness is prey. Strength is law. Humanity is nothing more than a luxury few can afford. But Ikemefuna has something even more dangerous than power: a past he cannot remember. Forced into captivity and thrown into a world where everything is waiting to devour him, he must build himself from nothing while uncovering the truth behind his existence. Who was Ikemefuna before he lost his memories? Why does this world seem strangely connected to him? And what will happen when the forgotten past of a boy who knows nothing about himself finally catches up with him? His journey begins in chains. The System reveal will be a bit down the line but bear with me

In a dark, supernatural Victorian world, a young transmigrant will search for a way to survive.

DIE MENTALLY, RISE PHYSICALLY Rampage Eternally — A Thirst for Undying Combat The Year is 6077. Humanity had survived the end of the world. Unfortunately, the world had not survived humanity. Cities stretched across continents like metallic forests. Ancient ruins floated above the clouds. Monsters wandered through abandoned highways. Supernatural abilities had become an ordinary part of civilization—and the people powerful enough to control them had become something far more terrifying than monsters. They were called Wrathborn/Supernaturals/Extraordinaries. And among them existed something even rarer. Eons ago the Primordial Pillar, the living Mythical Core that held every law of reality in place, cracked and died in a scream of light so vast the gods still refuse to name it. From its corpse came the Glimmer Shards, radiant fragments that scattered across Earth and the black between stars, burying themselves in stone, blood, and forgotten places. Shards rained across the universe and ended up on earth which bonded with humans and animals these shards were called Glimmers/Glimmer Manifestation these would only bond when one went through near death, trauma or rare celestial alignments called seals but the codex existed a genetic engineering that changed the physical spiritual psychological attributes of the human/animal. ----- Kevin Leister was a fearful and paranoid fifteen-year-old who trusted almost nobody. But everything changed when the Mythical Matrix chose him. Its power flooded through his body, awakening something violent within him. The Supernatural Rampager. Kevin's best friend, Wyatt Freeman, stayed by his side despite the terrifying transformation. Watching from nearby was Nathan Moya, a cunning illusionist with secrets of his own, and Peter Shotstock, a foul-mouthed ex-military man with incredible durability. Kevin had always feared monsters. Now... he was becoming one. And the Mythical Matrix had only just begun. This story is kinda ensemble cast it will kinda focus on Kevin but alongside others aswell

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.
