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.

However, the sudden arrival of an owl made him realize that he had actually entered the world of Harry Potter. Stepping into the Wizarding World, Altaïr finds a society of Dark Lords and hidden aristocrats playing with wands like toys. Armed with a system that allowed him to choose the power of the one ring, The Scottish Highlands bleed into the primordial shadows of Middle-earth, and the very nature of magic shifts from light to existential dread.

Zhì Yuǎn was born without a clan, without a lineage, with nothing but a carving knife and the callused hands of a man who repairs what others discard. Then, on a forgotten peak, something entered his chest—and never left. It was not ordinary Qi. It was hunger. A Singularity that devours everything it touches, growing with every cycle of cultivation, distorting the very fabric of reality around it. He has no interest in harmony with the Dao. He only seeks to consume it. At his side stand his women—not trophies, not spoils of conquest, but the living foundation of his power. Each with her own Law, her own ambition, her own obsession with him. Together, they do not build an empire for the sake of justice. They build because ascension through the Three Thousand Worlds demands resources, and they will not ask permission to take them. The Heavenly Tribulations descend to destroy him. Zhì Yuǎn only sees food. ###This is a slow pacing novel! [CONTENT WARNING: This work is intended for an adult audience (18+).

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.

The Sixth Member of the Police Academy in Detective Conan [No female lead. Master of disguises. The male protagonist is a growth-type character who develops over time rather than becoming overpowered instantly.] As one of the six members of the police academy group, Sasajima Ritsu embarks on the “point of no return” by going undercover in the Black Organization. However, he never expected to gain Gin’s appreciation and even end up becoming close enough with Vodka to call each other brothers. Wait a second… I’m an undercover agent, right? Gin, snap out of it—stop always looking out for me! And wait—how did it come to this? My subordinates are undercover agents, and even my colleagues are undercover agents too? P.S. This story has no romantic pairing (no CP). There are many foreshadowing elements, and the author will do their best to resolve them all!

#WSA2026 PS: We’re getting close to 800 members on Discord! ========= Yuzuki thought it was just another pastime from his casework, proofreading a half-finished fantasy webnovel. But when he woke up the next day, he was no longer in his world. He was inside the story… as a disposable extra. The world he now walks is beautiful, brutal, and broken. Its plot is incomplete. And looming over it all is a calamity so catastrophic that even the protagonist would have failed to stop it. Driven only by his cunning and spite towards this twisted fate, his only choice is to stake his existence in a world on the verge of collapse. But how long can a nameless extra outwit the fate of an unfinished novel? How is he going to survive in this ruined world? If the story dies, so does he. "Well, curse the protagonist. Why would I gamble my life on some self-righteous fool who’s just doomed to fall anyway?" #Academy #WeakToStrongMC No Harem!

Living a story, many wish to enter their favourite book... But what if you actually could? That is the reality that Aether Moirai lives in, where readers bound to the Codex system can enter stories and grow stronger by changing their endings. But while awakening for most is a blessing, for the little Prince Aether, it had been a curse more than anything; he had been given this title at the worst moment of his life, trapped inside an enemy Kingdom that wanted his head, and to make it worse, his powers were those of a God, which, while it might seem like a good thing, had been the opposite. Between having to care about his own mental health and get stronger so his body doesn't get taken over, and trying to find himself, he also has to worry about the past he has no idea about, since it seems he's more connected to the world than he had thought. He has to decide if he wants to step into the role the world has given him, as the Vessel of one of the five gods of the world, or become a person of his own without losing himself. Quite a harsh world for one that seems like a fairy tale on paper... But what if those stories also have something to say about people entering them... that would make it way worse, wouldn’t it... P/S POTA is a novel with a lot of deaths; a lot of characters die. It’s a very dark novel for a reason, with no fear of gruesome and ugly scenes, but also one with a very complicated system and a lot of niche mechanics, and above all, the protagonist himself changes a lot through the story, and every part of his change is going to be shown, even the bad times. When it comes to uploads, there are two new chapters daily.

An average guy dies a hilariously stupid death. God laughs. As a reward, he’s reborn in the Harry Potter universe as a long-lost Peverell. Magic? Check. Memories? Check. Overpowered? Oh, absolutely. What could possibly go wrong? Also published on Royal Road by the same author(GrimMM). Also published on wattpad by the same author(@GrimM_Author).
