[Completed] In a city where magic hides in plain sight, one snarky fox spirit ends up soul-bound to the last dragon on Earth. Kane is a struggling spirit investigator with more sarcasm than self-preservation. After a run-in with a rogue monster nearly kills him, he's saved by a brooding black dragon—who also happens to be a billionaire tech CEO.

Who says a eunuch can’t fall in love? In the noble courts of Valemont, everyone seems to agree that he cannot. Theodore von Virchow is the duke’s second son. A decorated war hero. A man of quiet authority whose cold composure makes even seasoned nobles uneasy. And he is devastatingly handsome. Tall, broad-shouldered, and sinfully good-looking, Theodore looks like a man carved by the gods themselves. Many whisper that such beauty is a cruel waste on a eunuch. With a single declaration, Theodore placed himself beyond the expectations of marriage, heirs, and romantic pursuits. Society accepted it without question. The court pitied him. The women stopped pursuing him. And life quietly moved on. Everyone accepted the truth. Everyone… except Everetta Whitmore. For thirteen years, Everetta has loved exactly one man. While society calls her foolish and her parents attempt to marry her off to more suitable lords, she refuses every offer placed before her. Because Everetta Whitmore does not believe love should be so easily abandoned. And if Theodore von Virchow truly is a eunuch? Then she intends to find out exactly what a eunuch ‘can’ do. Everetta begins a relentless pursuit that shocks the entire court. From scandalous masquerade balls to suspiciously convenient accidents in gardens, libraries, and moonlit balconies, she repeatedly throws herself into Theodore’s path with reckless determination. She bumps into him. Provokes him. Tempts him. And every time he tries to escape her, she only chases harder. Until one evening, Theodore finally snaps. “You are chasing a man who cannot give you anything,” he says coldly. “Have you no dignity?” Everetta only smiles. “Dignity?” she says sweetly. “If I cared about dignity, I wouldn’t be in love with you.” But Theodore von Virchow is a man who keeps his distance from the world, guarding himself behind silence and restraint. Least of all does he want the stubborn woman who refuses to leave him alone anywhere near his carefully ordered life. Yet the more Everetta chases him, the more impossible it becomes for him to ignore her. Because chasing a man who insists he cannot love her might ruin her reputation… but Everetta has never been afraid of scandal. … A scandalous historical romance about obsession, forbidden desire, and the relentless woman determined to prove that even a eunuch cannot escape love forever.

In Dwarkam, people are not born equal. Some are born Halocrats, wrapped in power and worship. Some are born Gutterborn, taught to keep their heads down and their mouths shut. Zane Atlas was a Gutterborn. Eighteen years old. Hungry. Beaten. Invisible. The world taught him one rule early: Filth shouldn’t look up. When the Golden Slab descended from the sky, it gave power to those who caressed it. Most gained skills. Some gained status. Many gained hope. Zane gained something else. Something that was never meant to awaken. Something that watches before it judges. Something that acts only when survival is at stake. [ Conflux System ] It does not reward obedience. It grows through choices. And it can merge anything Zane owns… including his body, his instincts, and his will to survive. Now Zane walks a thin line between staying alive and being discovered. Between obeying a world that hates him and becoming something it must erase. The churches are watching. The crowns are stirring. The monsters are waking. And Zane is learning one terrifying truth: Sometimes, being chosen is worse than being powerless. ——— ——— ——— Support Me - ko-fi.com/khyaal Join My Discord For Reference Arts and much more - https://discord.gg/zmUcswM2N5

When the Dragon God Orsted saw that Dan Feng wasn't afraid of him because of the curse, he asked that one question: "Are you an apostle of Hitogami?" Dan Feng: ? "No, you have a dragon aura similar to mine on you—are you also of the dragon race?" "More or less, yes." ...... When the template reaches 100%, that is when Imbibitor Lunae's true power awakens: controlling the waters of the Ringus Sea to form an enormous azure dragon.

Until, in a certain storyline, Leon casually said something: “Let me tell you a secret—I was once an Emissary of a deceased Aeon, a remnant of a perished Path.” Players: “Dad, you must be joking. How could a joker like you have knives (tragic backstory)?” No one paid attention to what seemed like a playful remark.

This is a novel for every loser who feels lost right now. What if losing everything was the beginning of something far greater? Eternal Malediction follows a young man, who is cynical yet compassionate, that was cursed with an ability he never asked for. An ability to overcome death, to breathe anew. He awakens in worlds ruled by different forces of nature that hold their own secrets that are far beyond his understanding, inhabiting a new version of himself each time. DIfferent lives, under different circumstances. Yet there is one constant – something is always watching his every move. With no clear purpose and no idea why he was brought into this world, he is forced to navigate a society where power determines everything—and weakness can mean death. Bound to an entity whose obsession with him makes escape impossible, he is entangled in a growing web of mysteries, endless cycles of transmigration and eternal suffering. He cannot speak about his curse without summoning the very being responsible for it, forcing him back through time and throwing his already fractured identity further into chaos. What begins as a story of suffering becomes a story of growth, memory, fate, and the search for purpose. Because when you have died countless times, lived countless lives, and lost pieces of yourself along the way... what does it actually mean to be alive? Eternal Malediction is a story of transmigration, magic, mystery, psychological conflict, and the struggle to find purpose when you have no idea where you belong.

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand.

Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

Khan had always assumed that getting stabbed in a back alley would be bad for his future. Technically, he was correct. He woke up eighteen again, in another world, with no money, no connections, and absolutely no mana. In a civilization where magic determines everything from social status to whether someone can survive a mildly inconvenient monster attack, this was not an encouraging start. Fortunately, Khan did receive a System. Unfortunately, it has opinions. And sarcasm. Mostly sarcasm. No legendary bloodline. No sacred sword. No ancient magic waiting to awaken. What he does have is experience reading people, negotiating terrible deals into slightly less terrible ones, an unhealthy respect for compound interest, and the survival instincts of a man who has already died once and found the experience deeply overrated. So while heroes swing swords and archmages bend reality, Khan does what he knows best. He finds opportunities. A wrecked shipment. A desperate merchant. A coin, even suspicious ones. A princess who has absolutely no concept of reasonable spending. Small problems become profitable solutions. Profitable solutions become connections. And somewhere along the way, Khan begins attracting the attention of people far more dangerous than bankrupt merchants. Because in this world, power comes in many forms. Mana is merely the most obvious one. And Khan has none of it.
