Matías Castleboard was the last shield of a doomed humanity. Born in an era where death was law, he learned too soon that innocence never survives war. He was a soldier, a hero… and a murderer. He died seeking peace, yet his soul found no rest. Reborn as Kael Lanpar, heir to one of the most powerful clans in the continent of Mayora, he now lives in a world of ancient magic, forgotten races, mythical creatures, and gods who play with the threads of fate. But the past never truly dies. The scars of his former life bleed into this one, and with every memory that awakens, Kael is dragged deeper into a question few could bear to face: Can a second life offer redemption… or only more damnation? Because some truths should never be known. And as Kael uncovers the mysteries of this world —and of himself— he will learn that knowledge does not always set you free. Sometimes, it destroys you. At the end of his path, no enemy awaits him… Only something far more terrifying: a consciousness that sees everything— and a truth that can never be unlearned. A dark, introspective fantasy about second chances, wounds that transcend lifetimes, and the price of understanding too much. Perfect for readers who seek not just battles… but meaning.

“I reject you,” the Alpha said— and the bond screamed instead of breaking. Marked by the Moon as the mate of a ruthless Alpha, Arielle Moonfall is cast out before an entire pack. But rejection doesn’t weaken the bond—it awakens something deadly in her blood. “You feel it too,” she says. Kael’s jaw tightens. “And that’s why you must leave.” As obsession, desire, and prophecy collide, Kael begins to lose control over the mate he swore to deny. In the shadows, a healer and a hunted rogue fall into a forbidden love that could start a war. Two couples. One fate. A Moon Goddess who lied. And love strong enough to burn the world down.

But when Roy gets his own sign-in system… [ERROR: No EXE Environment Found!] [Sign-In Unsuccessful!] “Okay, then. At least, show me my skills.” [You must be signed in to view your skills.] “???” #WeakToStrong #Fastpaced

When Darkness falls in New Orleans, innocence dies. Nathan's entire life shattered in one horrific night. But the true question to ask is... What happened last night...

"A thousand years ago, when Aaron transmigrated into the world of Bleach, he found himself reborn as a weak youth in the slums of Rukongai. Stripped of his previous memories and abilities, he was forced to survive in a world where spiritual power determined everything. Rukongai, a vast district in Soul Society, was a place where the impoverished lived in constant danger from the deadly hollows that roamed the outskirts, while the nobles in Seireitei enjoyed a life of luxury and safety. Aaron, with no prior connection to the Soul Reapers or the Quincy, had to navigate this harsh new life and find a way to grow stronger knowing that the story of Bleach was unfolding around him, and that his choices could alter the course of history."

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death. Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large- A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact. "I told you not to run..." He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. "My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want.." Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms. "What do you want?" Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head. "You..." Her breath hitched. "To. Do. As. You're. Told." - Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem. But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors. And neither do the natives. What should have been a romantic retreat, drinking from coconuts and lounging on white-sandy beaches together, turns into a holiday from hell. Mid-argument with her soon-to-be ex, Nova stumbles into a lake. When she resurfaces, her boyfriend, the path she came from, and the resort have vanished. Alone, stranded, and with little survival skills, Nova has only a wet phone with no signal, a pair of heels, and an irrational fear of bats—which are everywhere. She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts. Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa. Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it? #Beast #Ssssteamy #Adventure #Mythical #R18 -- THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!! -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and review! -- Cover Image: In the middle of getting one commissioned.

We have all thought the question at least once: "What if the world didn't bend over backwards for the protagonist, their powers didn't come for free, and the plot wasn't derivative in the negative way?" And many yet have tried to answer that question, some better and some worse. This is not a novel idea, pun very much intended, but it is one Remedy wanted to tackle on their own. In this book, you will meet the deranged, likely autistic imagination of a European hobbyist worldbuilder, and an amalgamation of their special interests and guilty pleasures alike, from the Cthulhu Mythos and cultivation novels to the deconstruction of genres and characters, Mage the Awakening, and The Rule Of Cool. It will be up to you, Dear Audience, to judge whether or not Remedy succeeded in their self-imposed goal of writing a book that's, at the very least, entertaining if nothing else, and improving as a writer in the long-run. Yes I used 3rd person to refer to myself throughout the summary, sue me I don't care.

After Zimo paid his way into getting the position of bodyguard, his motives weren’t able to stay hidden from the cold and calculated Gu Yuxuan. Initially he wanted to use Gu Yuxuan as a tool in his hidden agenda, but Gu Yuxuan was always a step ahead. They were both on their own mission against dangerous men, but one fell in love and the other one started losing composure. Whether it was worth losing focus on the danger ahead or restraining their hearts, with the words… “I’ve already given myself to you” …perhaps it doesn’t seem so dangerous after all.

Original work by Lyenn Leina, also published on Royal Road. "Humans believed elves existed only in legend. The elves believed nothing remained in the human lands that could matter to them. Both peoples were wrong." Leonie has spent her entire life under the baron's ruthless oppression-trapped, intimidated, controlled. But when whispers spread through the castle about the arrival of two mysterious strangers, her fate changes forever. Dorian and Marcus are elves. Their people are dying. And Leonie is the greatest threat to their mission. When a power awakens within her-one she never knew she possessed-the elves have no choice but to take her with them to their own realm, whether she wants to go or not. The journey is long and perilous, and Dorian finds it increasingly difficult to keep his distance from the girl whose every glance stirs emotions he has buried for centuries. The fate of the elven race. Forbidden magic. And two broken souls who may find in each other what the world has always denied them: a home. But as the secrets of their pasts unfold, Leonie and Dorian will be forced to make choices that may cost them everything.

A young witch with rusty red hair From her tattered home to school she'd fare With a plump snake, not too bright in mind As Snape's classmate, her path she'd find Later with Lucius, colleagues they became While idolizing Gryffindor's golden name Keeping press clippings, day after day Until the final battle came her way When facing Voldemort, her wand held high An Avada Kedavra lit up the sky Then others collected her clippings too As her legend among wizards grew With awe and wonder, they watched her shine As she lived more boldly, line by line Yet few knew of her struggles deep within The doubt and pain beneath her skin Like a caged beast she once had been Short-sighted, hesitant, lost in sin Through darkness and pain she fought her way To become the witch we know today ---------------------------------------------- This is a translation. The original title is:HP:小星星莉丝

A dying world. A ruined body. A debt that should not be his. That is the reality Alden wakes to when he opens his eyes. The memories in his head are not his. The scars on his skin do not belong to him. And the things in the dark that watches him... definitely not his. Now trapped in the body of a fallen arena fighter, Alden is thrown into a life ruled by blood and debt. He does not know why he was brought here. He does not know what hunts beneath the streets, nor what lurks in the night. And he does not know what lies at the core of this dying world. But in the cracks between terror and desperation, Alden discovers whispers of cultivation, strange powers, and truths waiting to be unearthed. What to expect: - 3-4 chapters a week - weak to strong MC - headstrong MC - desperate fights - cultivation - xianxia cultivation world What not to expect: - a system - perfect MC - harem - too much regular young masters

My identity is that of a priest. My hobby is exorcism. My favorite thing is the mission reward. My favorite scene is the nuclear explosion. The person I want to be the most is a superman without any weaknesses. I like to keep a low profile. Hate trouble the most. One of the favorite maxims is blood for blood and tooth for tooth. "..." This is a somewhat bland exorcism story. Pervert, wizard, magic, vampire, werewolf, demon, killer...

Adrian Everhart got transmigrated into tvd after negotiation with a godess but the petty godess messed with his reincarnation

HI, So I guess I should greet you, or should I greet the energy behind you first? So I am Adi, who can see spirits since childhood, and I was not pretty proud about that fact, but surely now it is my life, so a greater kind of mess is about to happen in my life.

When gods fall, dreams awaken. Once a divine architect, Jaswant defied the cosmic order to create life from love, not law. But his act of compassion births something unimaginable — the Dreamborn, a being forged from his own essence and that of his celestial muse, Eryndra. What began as a dream of salvation turns into a tragedy of cosmic proportions. As realms tremble and the ancient pantheon rises to punish his defiance, Jaswant must face the unbearable truth: the child he created to restore balance now threatens to unmake existence itself. Torn between his creator’s guilt and a father’s love, Jaswant embarks on a journey through time, memory, and shadow — to redeem what cannot be saved. Ultimate God: The end is the beggining is a dark, poetic tale of gods and dreams, of forbidden creation and divine heartbreak. A story where love becomes rebellion, and even immortality must kneel before the will to dream. Overall: The story is about Jaswant, a god who used to create worlds. He was once powerful, wise, and loved by the divine order — but one day, he broke the rules of the gods. He tried to create life from love, not from command. He and a celestial goddess named Eryndra combined their powers and hearts to make a new divine being — called the Dreamborn — a god who could dream and feel like humans. But that creation becomes too powerful. The Dreamborn starts to think and dream on its own — and those dreams begin to reshape reality, threatening heaven, earth, and all creation. Now Jaswant faces his greatest pain — The very being he created out of love is becoming his enemy, and his creation might destroy everything, including him.
