In the magitech capital of Tan’thalon, strength is spectacle—and survival is never guaranteed. When young noble Talia Surifarah sneaks beyond the safety of her station, she witnesses a living legend: the Diviner, a blind arena champion whose mastery of earth and combat defies all reason. But the city’s wonders hide brutal truths. As deserts creep closer, swallowing towns without explanation, Talia learns that power alone cannot stop what is coming. Attacked in Tan’thalon’s rain-soaked alleys and pushed to the brink, she is saved by the Diviner herself—an elementalist whose discipline and instinct eclipse everything Talia has been taught. Bound by duty, shadowed by a controlling guardian, and driven by a world on the edge of ruin, Talia must choose who she will become. A sheltered paladin of noble blood… or something more. The sands are moving. Legends walk unseen. And the first step toward destiny is learning how to stand.

Hades is not just a billionaire mogul; he is the literal personification of Death. To the public, he is the elusive, stone-cold CEO of the Luther Corporation, a man whose empire stretches across the globe and whose face hasn't aged a single day in a century. To his thousands of fanatical subordinates, he is a dark deity—a mafia-esque king who rules from a secluded, glass-walled fortress. He is immortal, untouchable, and utterly bored with an existence. He has watched empires fall and stars burn out, leaving his heart as hollow as a fresh grave. That boredom shatters on a rain-slicked Monday morning. While Hades is being driven to his skyscraper, a reckless stranger dives into the path of his speeding car to save a shivering stray cat. Hades doesn’t stop—he never stops—but the image of the boy’s defiant, silver-grey eyes stays burned into his mind. Days later, seeking a moment of quiet, Hades enters an upscale city restaurant. There, standing before him with a tray in hand and a tired but kind smile, is the same boy: ken. A hardworking university freshman balancing three part-time jobs just to afford his education. The moment their eyes meet, the cold void in Hades’ chest finally sparks with a terrifying, singular Obsession. Ken is just a student trying to survive his finals; he didn’t expect to catch the eye of the world’s most dangerous man. Driven by a hunger he cannot name, the King of the Underworld decides to trade his boardroom for a lecture hall, enrolling in Ken’s university to stalk his prey in plain sight. From the dark corners of the library to the crowded campus halls, Hades is everywhere. He doesn't just want Ken’s heart—he wants everything. In a game of cat and mouse, how do you escape a man who literally has forever to find you?

How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend When his older sister is left emotionally shattered after a painful breakup, Jae-min makes a reckless decision—he’ll get revenge on the man who ruined her. That man is Kang Jihan: twenty-five, wealthy, polished, charming, and infuriatingly untouchable. To everyone else, Jihan is the perfect heir with a perfect smile. But to Jae-min, he’s the reason his sister can no longer smile the same way. So Jae-min comes up with a plan. He’ll get close to Jihan. Make him fall in love. Make him trust him. And when Jihan is at his weakest, Jae-min will leave him broken—just like his sister was. It should have been easy. Jae-min is young, attractive, and bold enough to turn flirtation into a weapon. He knows exactly what he’s doing… or at least he thinks he does. But the closer he gets to Jihan, the more his revenge begins to unravel. Because beneath the effortless charm and cold perfection is a man far lonelier—and far more dangerous—than Jae-min expected. What was supposed to be a game of seduction becomes something messier, darker, and impossible to control. The lies grow heavier. The lines between revenge and desire blur. And when Jihan finally discovers who Jae-min really is, Jae-min is forced to face the one thing he never planned for: What if the person he wanted to destroy becomes the one person he can’t let go of? In a story of guilt, obsession, and revenge gone terribly wrong, How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend is a psychological BL about two people who enter each other’s lives with secrets—then stay long enough to ruin themselves for real.

Eventually, the entire hunter community starts saying the same thing: “If you see Akira… Kael Vixar won’t be far behind.” Akira only wants power. Kael only wants Akira. And somewhere between deadly dungeon battles and a secret that could shatter everything Akira knows about his new life… The strongest hunter in the world might just fall first. And fall hardest.

"You will suffice." That's what something whispered in Raizen's mind before a Nyx dissolved into shining ashes at his feet — right after it slaughtered everyone he loved. He doesn't know what he's "sufficient" for, what spoke to him, or why it led him to an unconscious girl with no memory. He only knows his world is gone, and the only place that'll take him is the Underworks — the rusty undercity beneath Neoshima's walls, where survival is a job and coming back alive is never guaranteed. His only way out: the Lotus Academy, the place where he can learn about Nyxes, the ruined world's dark history, and how to wield Eon. Train hard enough, and he might become a Vanguard — the elite force that hunts down humanity's worst nightmares. But the voice hasn't spoken since. And the higher Raizen climbs, the clearer a dark truth becomes: the thing that saved him, and the darkness that has haunted humanity for centuries... Might just be the same thing.

She died saving a world. She woke up in a body that couldn't save itself. Sixty years of war. A rebellion built from nothing. A detonation that freed thousands and erased her from existence. Commander SN1068 didn't expect to wake up. Reborn on Doha — a world where cultivation determines your worth and power decides who lives — Jayde carries a lifetime of military experience in a body the world labels Voidforge. The lowest of the low. No cultivation. No value. Her family discards her at six years old. Her mother dies, calling her a monster. By nightfall, she's in the slave pits. She survives ten years of darkness with nothing but a dead soldier's instincts and the stubborn refusal to stop breathing. Then her blood touches something ancient, a library explodes, and the world notices her for all the wrong reasons. Jayde runs. Into a forest that should kill her. Into alliances that shouldn't be possible. Into a power she doesn't trust — because the last time she had power, she used it to destroy herself. Now she's building again. Quietly. Ruthlessly. Accumulating debts, allies, and enemies in a world where prophecies have a habit of choosing the people least equipped to survive them. She doesn't want to be chosen. She wants to build water purifiers and be left alone. Doha has other plans. Across realms, a demon king feels a bond he thought was severed ten thousand years ago. Ren has searched for his truemate across millennia — through wars, betrayals, and a grief that nearly unmade him. His jade pendant is warming. She's out there. Alive. And he will burn through anything that stands between them. He just doesn't know she's a sixteen-year-old girl in a disguise, building irrigation systems and pretending to be nobody. --- Weave of Ashes is a multi-POV cultivation fantasy about a reincarnated soldier rebuilding from nothing in a world that runs on power she was born without. It's about found families forged in blood rather than sentiment, a slow-burn romance that spans realms, conspiracies that reach back millennia, and the stubborn conviction that the world doesn't have to be this cruel. --- Dark worlds. Fierce love. No shortcuts. --- Content Warning: This story contains depictions of child abuse, slavery, trauma, violence, death, and dark themes, including horror elements.

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.

#VillainDad #CuteProtagonist #Ghosts #Misunderstanding #Transmigration #SmartMC Mira realized two things the moment she woke up in the body of a nameless orphan in a fantasy novel: 1. She is a disposable "shrimp" destined to die in the crossfire of the main characters. 2. She is the only person in this world who can see the screaming, terrifying ghosts that haunt every corner of the empire. Tortured by the wails of the dead, Mira finds only one source of silence: Duke Kaelus von Nacht. Known as the "Dark Lord" and the "Emperor's Sword," Kaelus is a man so ruthless and soaked in bloodlust that even the ghosts are terrified to go near him. To the world, he is a monster. But to Mira, he is a walking, talking pair of noise-canceling headphones. Desperate for a good night's sleep, Mira clings to him, acting like a naive, affectionate child to secure her place by his side. She succeeds, but she miscalculated. Kaelus didn't adopt her out of kindness. He needed a disposable child to act as 'live bait' for the assassins targeting him. Now named Seraphina, she must navigate a deadly game of survival. She thinks she is using him as a ghost shield. He thinks she is a fearless prodigy who loves him. As Seraphina munches on poison berries and naps through ambushes to avoid seeing spirits, the cold-blooded Duke starts to ask the wrong questions. "Why does she only sleep when I am holding her?" "Why does she stare into space with such disdain?" "Is it possible... that I am a good father?" Spoiler: He is not. But he’s about to destroy an entire kingdom because someone woke her up. --- ### Excerpt "Your Highness, the Archduke," the aide whispered, trembling hard to cover his laughter from bursting out. "The child... she is clinging to your leg again." Kaelus looked down. The tiny creature known as Seraphina was attached to his calf like a barnacle, drooling on his pristine military trousers. "She is fearless," Kaelus murmured, misinterpreting her desperate need for his ghost-repelling aura as familial affection. "The assassins are approaching, yet she seeks comfort only in the eye of the storm. She is the perfect bait." Seraphina, currently trying to avoid eye contact with a headless ghost hovering three feet away, squeezed her eyes shut. 'Just don't move. If I let go, the headless guy will ask me where his nose is again.' "Sir," the aide hesitated. "She's... eating your cloak." "Let her eat," Kaelus commanded, drawing his sword. "Whatever she wants, she gets. Except for freedom."

Ronan died in a cult's basement with a dagger in his chest and no time for last words. He expected nothing after that. Instead he opened his eyes in a stranger's body, under a sky split by two suns. His name is Percy Valemont now. Broke tailor. And somewhere behind the locked doors of this city, an organization called the Union Law Syndicate hunts spirits that slip through the cracks between life and death , spirits sealed inside lemons, waiting for a full moon and a willing vessel. Percy becomes one of those vessels. Not entirely by choice. What follows is a life built on borrowed time: a sister who calls him "Brother" like she's known him her whole life, because she has just not this version of him. A girl across an impossible distance who talks to him through a wooden box, never knowing what she's really speaking to. A kindly old man at a counter who remembers everything and asks nothing. A neighbor who treats him like family without question. People who are slowly, quietly becoming his to lose. Because someone in this city has been waiting a long time for something they can't get back and they're willing to burn down everyone Percy has come to love to get it. He doesn't know who yet. He doesn't know how close they already are. All he knows is that the people standing next to him are the ones standing closest to the knife. And in this world, that's never an accident. warning : There will be violent and gore scenes which may not be for everyone. A slow paced story please Bare with me.

Lust to Love ~ An impossible love born from a bond meant for betrayal. {Official Announcement} In this world of the Land of Consciousness, the powerful turn others into pawns in their dangerous games. However, this journey is not limited to merely fighting enemies. They must also protect themselves from those powerful cultivators and dark forces who seek to take control of others. Fate, however, has other plans. What begins as a bond driven by instinct and desire slowly blossoms into a love neither Lily nor Snehwal ever expected. As lust turns into trust, devotion, and sacrifice, the Yakshini and her host begin to defy the very laws of their world. Now, they must decide whether to surrender to destiny… or write a new fate together. Powers in the Land of Consciousness, By extracting spiritual stones from the brains of beasts and absorbing the spiritual energy that floats in the air, one can advance through ten stages of cultivation. Each stage is divided into three levels, Lower, Middle, and Higher. Almost everyone here possesses spiritual power, which in common parlance is simply energy. But only the Yakshinis possess magic along with spiritual power, magic that allows them to enslave male cultivators and gradually drain their cultivation to increase their own stage. What is a Yakshini? A Yakshini is a very beautiful, alluring, and youthful female-like being whose beauty is so rare and enchanting that it can disturb any man’s mind and thoughts through hypnotic magic. At the same time, she is highly advanced in the cultivation of spiritual energy. What is a host? A host is a person who is brought by the Yakshini from another realm, and this person has no power of their own. The Yakshini teaches the host the path of cultivation, and as the host progresses in practice, their power grows. But once the host gains strength, the Yakshini ensnares them, using promises of love and trust to manipulate them, draining all their powers, and gradually pushing them toward death, making the Yakshini even more powerful. © Duglas Bhagwan/Douglas_Bhagwan, 2025.
