Hidden Beast Hunter: My S-Class Maid Disguise

--- She hid her horns for seventeen years. They gave her a maid dress anyway. --- Beneath the streets of modern Tokyo, an entire world operates in secret — Beast Hunters, hidden academies, and monsters that slip through the cracks of reality while the rest of the world sips coffee and misses their trains. Saya Hibiki is the best of them. S-Class at seventeen. Dragon bloodline. Silver horns, silver wings, a silver-scaled tail she's spent her entire life pretending doesn't exist — and an ability called **Silver Shadow** so powerful it's been sealed inside her since birth, waiting for exactly this moment to wake up. She was ready for the mission. She was ready for the portal. She was even, grudgingly, ready to say goodbye to the only friends who ever knew what she really was. She was *not* ready for the dress. --- *"This is a Awakening Garment,"* Lumen said, projecting the holographic image with what Saya could only describe as deeply unnecessary cheerfulness. *"Black and white. Very elegant. Maid-style."* *"Absolutely not."* *"Without it, Silver Shadow stays sealed at twelve percent."* *"I'll fight at twelve percent."* *"You soloed a Tier-7 Wyrm at zero percent."* *"...I hate you."* *"Noted."* --- Now she's traveling alone through worlds — a girl with dragon horns in a lace apron, cracking ancient monsters in half with shadow that moves like it's alive, then standing in the wreckage looking like she's about to serve tea. She will never admit she looks good in it. Her tail gives her away every time. --- *"You're not afraid,"* she said slowly, staring at the old man who'd found her bleeding in a cave in feudal Japan like it was perfectly ordinary.* *"Should I be?"* He stirred his pot without looking up. *"I've seen stranger things than a winged girl in a torn dress."* *"...What stranger things?"* He smiled — quiet, knowing, the kind of smile that held seventy years of secrets. *"Finish the coal mining. I'll tell you eventually."* --- **Hidden power. A reluctant disguise. Worlds she was never supposed to see.** Every portal leads somewhere new. Every battle unlocks something she didn't know she had. And somewhere, threaded through the worlds she's crossing, is an answer to the question nobody at the Academy ever gave her: *Why does everyone who should be afraid of her dragon blood —* *already seem to know what she is?* --- *The maid dress was supposed to be a condition.* *It's becoming something else entirely.* --- **Addictive action. Reluctant elegance. A dragon girl who will absolutely not admit she's started to like the dress.** *Hidden Beast Hunter: My S-Rank Maid Disguise* — updating weekly.

The Governor dares to provoke her? Bombard him. The Whisperers? Erase them. The Commonwealth and CRM? Move aside. Rick stares at his shabby camp in confusion. “Why is everyone running to her side?” Negan flicks the blood off Lucille as the gates of Rock Fortress slowly open behind him. “Damn… because following her means you actually thrive.” Starting with the Reapers as her foundation, Calista rises from a winery stronghold to become a ruler of the apocalypse. From the United States… all the way to Europe. The original plot? Just a reference. From today onward, my territory will define the order of the new world. 【The protagonist is not a saint.

Zenith of Desire: The Hollywood Incubus

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again? Right, a copyist. I'll start as a writer, and my ultimate goal is to become an international star. What? You mean acting skills? I'm a Incubus! --- Additional tags: Heavy harem, smut, possessive characters, smart mc, sudden strength gain, lust emotion and desire -based power system, no yuri, no netorare. A/N:- Story and smut are well balanced. You won't feel bored if you have come for either of the two or maybe both.

Aetherion: Rise of the Forgotten Mage

A century ago, the world of Aetherion changed forever when ten mysterious Towers appeared across the world without warning. Soon after, monsters began pouring endlessly from the Towers, destroying cities, kingdoms, and entire civilizations. Humanity stood on the edge of extinction until powerful mages united to create the first Mage Towers, organizations dedicated to fighting the growing threat. From the endless battles against monsters emerged legendary figures known as Mage Lords, mages whose power surpassed ordinary limits. Under the leadership of the mysterious Mage Queen, humanity managed to survive and reclaim parts of the world. But even after a hundred years, the Towers still stand, monsters still emerge, and most of the world remains uninhabitable. Now, only a fraction of Aetherion is safe. In this harsh world where magical talent determines status, a boy named Will Grey lives as a failure. A student of the prestigious Aetherion Arcane Academy, Will possesses a large mana pool but suffers from a defect that prevents him from properly casting magic. Mocked by nobles and looked down upon by society, he struggles to survive while barely earning Academy Points needed to graduate from the academy. But unknown to the world, Will Grey dies. At the same moment, a man from modern Earth named Saito Ren dies trying to save someone during an accident. Once a former soldier turned corporate slave, Ren spent his life dreaming of becoming a hero like those from the stories he loved as a child. Instead of disappearing after death, he awakens before mysterious god-like beings who offer him a second chance at life. Ren asks for powers similar to the legendary abilities from his favorite fictional heroes, but the gods warn him that such powers are too dangerous to grant completely. Instead, they give him a special System that allows him to gradually unlock abilities through missions, growth, and combat. Moments later, Ren awakens inside Will Grey’s body. Thrown into the dangerous world of Aetherion, Ren discovers that the powers granted to him do not follow the world’s normal laws of magic. Unlike ordinary mages who rely on wands and incantations, Ren gains access to an ancient hand-sign combat style known as Ninjutsu, a forgotten experimental magic system abandoned long ago because normal mages could never use it effectively. But Ren can. As he slowly unlocks powers such as the Eclipse eye and advanced Magic abilities, he begins walking a path unlike any mage before him. Meanwhile, the world itself hides deeper secrets. At the center of global power stands the massive Central Tower, a floating city where the five Mage Lords govern humanity’s strongest military force while the immortal being known as Baal remains sealed at the highest point of the Tower. Far away, the legendary Mage Queen continues maintaining the seal on the mysterious Gate connected to an ancient forgotten catastrophe. And hidden within Will Grey’s body lies a secret connection to that Gate itself. As Tower missions, academy politics, noble conflicts, racial tensions, and ancient conspiracies begin surrounding him, Ren must survive in a world where monsters evolve endlessly and humanity’s fragile peace could collapse at any moment. Because somewhere within the Towers, something is still waiting.

The Regnum Auternum: The Fallen Messiah's Tainted's Doctrine

Leornars was born in a small, forgotten village, raised only by his mother — the only person who ever loved him. Their quiet life was shattered when he was framed for a crime he never committed, branded a monster, and forced to watch his own mother be executed by the very people they had lived alongside. Betrayed, broken, and filled with burning hatred for the unfairness of the world, he died… only to wake up reborn in a realm far crueler and more divided than his own. This new world is ruled entirely by humans, who see themselves as the supreme race. Demi‑humans, beastfolk, elves, orcs, and all other beings are treated as nothing more than slaves, tools, or pests — abused, exploited, and killed without consequence. The Holy Church and royal kingdoms enforce a twisted morality: only humans deserve justice, only humans have value, and anyone else exists to serve or suffer. Leornars is not reborn as a hero chosen by the light. Instead, he is forged from the Abyss itself — a unique hybrid of celestial and abyssal blood, granted power that is both holy and cursed. He is named the Fallen Messiah, and to the powerful, he becomes known as the White Plague: a terrifying force that sweeps across lands, toppling kings, burning down corrupt temples, and dismantling every law and belief that keeps the weak chained. He does not fight for “good” or “evil” — he fights to rewrite the definition of justice. Rejecting the fake righteousness of those in power, he stands with the oppressed: the demi‑humans, the outcasts, the abandoned, and all who have suffered under human tyranny. He gathers loyal companions — Stacian, Zhyelena, Shullah, and others — and builds an army not of conquerors, but of survivors. Together, they carve out a new land, and from it rises Regnum Aeternum — the Eternal Kingdom: a nation where every race stands equal, where power belongs to those who protect, not those who rule. Cold, brilliant, and ruthless to his enemies, Leornars is seen as a devil by the world’s rulers, but a savior by those he protects. He knows his hands are stained, his doctrine is “tainted”, and his path is bloody — but he believes that a new, just world can only be built by tearing down the rotten one that exists. His war is not just for land or power; it is a war against the lies, hypocrisy, and cruelty that have poisoned the world since its beginning. As he faces ancient gods, hidden truths, and enemies who will do anything to preserve the old order, Leornars must decide: how far is he willing to go to make his doctrine the new truth of the world And will the “Eternal Kingdom” he builds be a paradise — or a grave he dug for
