What happens to someone who has lost everything? What becomes of a person whose family was torn from him, not by chance, but by the cruelty of the powerful? Francis once lived a simple, happy life with the people he loved most. That life ended in an instant, destroyed by the recklessness of a few young men. Justice was denied, and those responsible used their parent's influence to send him to die—and ensure he would never be heard from again. Francis returned not just with his life, but with a single purpose: to make the corrupt pay. The law failed him, so he became his own justice. And he succeeded. He exposed to the world how the wealthy and powerful twisted the rules to serve themselves—even if it cost him his own life. Having taken his revenge, he welcomed death, ready to finally rest in peace. But fate had other plans. [Record achieved: Highest number of direct kills in your world.] [You have fulfilled the requirements to claim the ULTIMATE PARASITE SYSTEM.] [Mission: Evolve into a Category 10 Beast within one year] [Reward: ×3 Revival Vials – can resurrect anyone of your bloodline.] His eyes shot open, his mind drowning in memories of his lost family. Maybe, just maybe, he still had a chance to make things right.

#Incest #Comedy -------------------- To read Ahead go to my patreon patreon.com/Satya69 This story has 20 chapters in my patreon. ------------------------------------------ "Tap, tap, tap, tap..." The sound of high heels striking the floor echoed through the corridor of the teaching building, crisp and resonant. As the footsteps drew closer, my heart began to beat faster and faster. I was all too familiar with such an imposing stride. Moments later, a stunningly beautiful woman in a black professional suit and skirt entered the office. She had an exquisite, fair-skinned oval face, with long, dark hair elegantly pinned up at the back. Her slender, almond-shaped eyes, slightly upturned at the corners, were complemented by delicate willow-leaf eyebrows, a graceful nose, and soft rose-colored lips. Her bright eyes held a deep, sharp light, radiating the unique sensual charm of a mature woman. She carried a Prada handbag, her fitted blazer revealing a deep V-neckline that showed off the white blouse beneath. Her waist was slender, her chest full and rounded. Below, she wore a black straight skirt, flesh-toned stockings, and black pointed-toe stilettos. Her hips were perky, and her legs were shapely and long, exuding the intellect and efficiency of a professional woman. Her name is Zheng Yiyun, and she is... my mother.

Her blood was liquid gold. The moment it hit the basin, the scent slammed into Prince Dexmon like a charging bull.  A primal urge to mate with her followed, obliterating any concern for timing, place, or consequence.  His heart thundered, caught somewhere between hunger and outright panic. His wolf surged.  Aegon: Mate her. Mate her again. Mark her. In that order.  Dexmon: Absolutely the fuck not.  It took every ounce of control he possessed to hold back.  Meanwhile, she stood there, calm, oblivious to him coming apart at the seams.  The Moon Goddess, it seemed, truly had a twisted sense of humor.   ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ [Synopsis] Mate. He knows it instantly. She has no idea. After a year in silver chains, Serena Silverveil's wolf is silent. She escaped Viremont with nothing — no pack, no title, no wolf. Just a sharp mind, a lethal wit, and a refusal to die. A stranger saves her life. She returns the favor without knowing he's the Crown Prince of Drakenfell. But Dexmon is betrothed to Princess Agnes — the daughter of the very tyrant who kept Serena collared. So he stays silent. Agnes will stop at nothing to keep him. Murder, poisonings, dark magic, abductions, and starting a literal war. She ensures everyone in Drakenfell believes Serena is a whore and illiterate. Serena enters the royal ball on another man's arm, wearing the boldest gown in Drakenfell. Dexmon's restraint snaps. But he's not the only one watching. Fin Shadowclaw, the youngest and most powerful Alpha King in Skardos also hears "Mate" when he sees Serena. He marks her. Dexmon's wolf shoves him off and marks over his mark. Two rival Alpha Kings. One mark. And a woman who already had her heart destroyed, now torn between them. Love triangles don't usually involve mass murder. ✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦ Content Warning: This novel contains dark themes, dubcon, abuse, smut, explicit scenes, and morally gray characters.

[R18] "In a world without heroes, surviving is the Ultimate DEAD." A grey world where the living fear death and the dead fear him, one man walks through carnage with unmatched power. Every step leaves destruction in his wake, and no army, no saint, no knight can stand against him. This is the story of WALKING ON DEAD—where humanity faces the consequences of pride, guilt, and the unstoppable force of a single man.

I'm Zihan, the model student: top of my class, class monitor, and a "good boy" in every sense of the word. My life is a straight-A report card, my only failing grade being my crippling timidity around girls.

Sam is my complete opposite—confident, and effortlessly at ease with everyone, especially women. Under his wing, I start to shed my awkwardness. He becomes my guide, teaching me how to talk, laugh, and connect with girls for the first time. But as I learn his lessons in confidence, I begin to see them applied in a way I never expected. The easy charm he uses on classmates, he now uses on my mother. The lessons in charisma I was so eager to learn are playing out right before my eyes, in my own home, and the dynamic between my new friend and my mom is becoming something far more complicated—and far more intimate—than any textbook could ever explain. ------------------------ To read Ahead go to my patreon patreon.com/Satya69 This story has 30 chapters in my patreon.

Lollipop was many things: gorgeous, ruthless, and arguably the most expensive night escort in the city. But being stabbed in the back—literally—by a delusional ex-client was not how he planned to end his reign. One moment he was sprawled in blood and rain, and the next… he wakes up in a gilded four-poster bed, dressed like a Victorian porcelain doll. Now in the body of Rosalee Florenzia, a delicate "girl" from a disgraced noble house, Lollipop discovers he's transmigrated into the world of a romance otome game he's played (and mocked) dozens of times. The twist? He’s not the heroine. Not even the villainess. He’s a third-rate lackey—a minor background character meant to prance prettily and maybe get publicly humiliated once or twice before dying altogether along with his cold hearted "family". Except this time, the character is him. In a society where gender is more fluid than wine at a noble banquet, Lollipop learns that he's now a Second—a rare gender capable of pregnancy and seduction regardless of how they present. Raised as a girl by scheming parents and trained to seduce the Crown Prince, Rosalee is stuck in a game of power and manipulation where even the villainess has villainesses. Worse? The villainess knows everything about Rosalee—including that Rosalee’s own family plans to use him to outshine her—and she’s using that as leverage to bend him to her will. Thrown out by his “new” family, Rosalee does the only thing he knows how to do: survive. By charm. By scandal. By crawling his way back into high society... and maybe into a few rich men's beds. But nothing is easy when the love interests—the golden Crown Prince, the aloof Duke's son, the ethereal High Priest, and even the dangerous leader of the Dark Guild—start looking his way. Lollipop isn't trying to win their hearts—hell, he’s not even supposed to be on the board! But his luscious curves, foul mouth, and unmatched seduction skills start shaking the very structure of this once-rigid fairytale. With a mirror in one hand and a dagger in the other, Rosalee must navigate blackmail, backstabbing, and ballroom politics—because this isn’t just a game anymore. This time, he’s playing to win.

{WARNING: MATURE CONTENT 18+} A man wakes up in an endless white void with a strange voice whispering in his ear that he’s become the new master of the Dungeon of Lust. He doesn’t take it too seriously at first, but when he learns his life may be in jeopardy, all his reserves fall to the wayside. It’s not long after he realizes the true peril of his situation that the voice grants him the ability to summon Champions to help him; however, to claim sovereignty over his legion and rule these summoned helpers, he has to fulfill a condition with them. He grows confused at this condition until an otherworldly beauty appears in front of him, flaunting her alluring figure. Then, Vale, the man, learns just what it means to be the owner of the Dungeon of Lust. He struggles to hold his morals, but when the vice of lust is suppressed… it only gets stronger.

“So I’m the one who has to do the work of the Protagonist in this life?” ... Mateo Estes was never supposed to be anything special. He was an orphan abandoned by his shelter at seventeen, and a young man who floated between one miserable job to the next, he had learned very early that life would not hand him miracles. Stability came only after years of grinding, after sharing rooms with strangers, after budgeting every cent until he could finally afford a cramped one-bedroom apartment. His biggest achievement was not glamorous, but it was his: a career as one of FaceLive’s most ruthless anime and manga reviewers, a voice that could destroy or crown a series with a single stream. By the time he turned twenty, Mateo had built a loyal following through a single, brutal principle: honesty. If a story was trash, he said it. If a heroine was written like a cardboard prop, he mocked it. If the worldbuilding fell apart, he tore it limb from limb. His latest target was a manga with a famously long title…「Ore wa shujinkō dakara, mochiron utsukushii hiroin-tachi o sukuu！」, a series recommended endlessly by viewers who insisted he would love the setting. And he did… at first. The Crest power system had potential, the academy concept was refreshing, and the political tension of the Great Clans gave it weight. But everything collapsed under horrendous execution: heroines who fell in love because the protagonist breathed near them, plot armor thicker than steel, and a President’s daughter powerful enough to defeat an A-rank monster getting kidnapped by a C-rank rookie. It was, in Mateo’s words, peak stupidity. He rated it a 3/10 on stream, roasted it for several minutes, and logged off feeling lighter than he had all week. Even a $10,000 donation couldn’t compare to the satisfaction of honest critique. He slept peacefully that night, unaware that the universe had taken his rant personally. When Mateo awoke, nothing was familiar. His apartment layout had shifted, the cheap furniture replaced, and when he reached the bathroom mirror, a stranger stared back… a six-foot blond hunk with defined muscles, sharp features, and the exact face of the protagonist. If that wasn’t bad enough, he got his System shortly after 「Role Assigned: Protagonist」 「Mission: Save the Heroines」 「Failure: Erasure」 He was cooked…

Trigger Warning This story contains mature and dark themes including violence, assassination, psychological manipulation, obsessive romance, power imbalance, and morally grey characters. It explores toxic attraction, emotional trauma, betrayal, and scenes of life-threatening situations. Reader discretion is advised. --- Ariana is not a hero. She is not a victim. She is a weapon. A ghost trained to infiltrate, deceive, and eliminate without hesitation. She has survived by trusting no one and feeling nothing. Her latest mission is simple: kill Damian—the cold-blooded Mafia boss whose secrets could collapse empires—and disappear like she always does. But Damian is not a man who dies easily. He is ruthless. Calculating. A predator who built his kingdom on blood and fear. He notices everything. He trusts no one. And the moment Ariana steps into his world, he sees through her. What was meant to be a clean assassination spirals into something far more dangerous. Because Damian does not hunt alone. He hunts back. Every encounter becomes a silent war. Every touch feels like betrayal. Every moment together balances on the edge of violence. They circle each other like loaded guns with fingers on the trigger. Ariana was sent to destroy him. Damian is determined to break her first. In a city where loyalty is an illusion and death is currency, obsession grows in the cracks between survival and desire. They threaten each other. They provoke each other. They test how close they can stand to the edge before someone falls. Or jumps. Because when two people who do not value their own lives begin to crave each other, destruction is inevitable. This is not a love story built on softness. It is forged in blood, control, and dangerous surrender. And in the end, the question isn’t who will kill whom. It’s who will fall first. **** Assassin vibes—CHECKED Mafia danger—CHECKED Near-death tension / suicidal stakes—CHECKED Obsession / chemistry—CHECKED Psychological intensity—CHECKED

[WARNING: R-18 | Adult content, suggestive and implied explicit scenes] Ryan, a programmer who had always been a failure with women and, because of his job, never had time for dating due to constant workplace exploitation. One month before the release of his company’s most ambitious RPG, he decided to take revenge by adding a secret “bug” to the game. A hidden skill called Debt. Every time the support character healed or buffed a heroine, a mandatory debt was generated. An order that had to be fulfilled. And if it wasn’t claimed, the skill would execute it automatically. The company discovered the code and punished him by forcing him to work without pay to fix it. Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Ryan dies of a heart attack before he can remove the bug. But he awakens inside the game. Now he inhabits the body of the Rank B support in a party of Rank S heroines… and the Debt skill is still active. Ryan will have a significant advantage, because not only will he gain the normal experience and rewards from leveling up, but he will also receive the additional rewards granted by the Debt skill. With an advantage no one else possesses, Ryan must decide: Will he become a tyrant who manipulates his companions? Or will he use that power to survive, protect them, and become the only support capable of reaching S-Class hero rank? Because this time, he won’t let anyone exploit him again.

[Warning! R18+ Mature Content] After embarassingly dying by 'coming' on a museum worker, and then angering a Forgotten God by 'coming' on him as well, Jimmy transmigrated along with his date of the day, to another world where his problematic 'cannon' shots started making more sense. His destiny was fulfilled as he transmigrated into a Bloodmancer's body, where every shot literally was like that of a cannon's! Finding himself in a land riddled with dinosaurs, with species of dinosaurs jamming together from different Eras as if the Paleontological studies from back on Earth were a joke, survival was not only difficult, but it was unique! As a Bloodmancer, he learned that he could tame dinosaurs and keep them as pets, by essentially smushing their brains around like play dough! A useful skill, on account to the fact how infinitely useful dinosaurs were, since every living species bore Primal Magic, a category of magic with branches that were impossible to predict. Surrounded by temptation, by ladies who did not even comprehend the concept of a harem, he started collecting primal beauties as if it was a day-job! Somehow, his tamed dinosaurs helped him attract women, in a way that it was nearly impossible to figure out! He just knew that women wanted him, even the older ones, and he made great use of this curse/blessing from the angered God! He almost felt like every time he made love with his girlfriends, the Forgotten God got angrier. However, life was never that simple. With abandoned alien technology sprinkled across the world, and large-scale Tribe Wars brewing, Jimmy had little time to figure out how to best use such technologies in a world where the greatest invention that humanity made was not the wheel, but the bow and arrow! Collecting beauties might be fun, but what would the point be if his tribe got wiped out from the face of the Grasslands, his new home? The clock was ticking, so to speak, and he had to act fast! "Them thighs might be thick, but the plot is thicker, and with jacked up dinosaur clones sent to war, the future was absolutely impossible to predict!" ... ~ Be sure to check out my other novel in my author profile.

Scott Devlin, the bold Alpha of the Devlin clan was so disappointed at his adoptive parents to have him forced to marry a complete stranger, and above all professions, a doctor, whom he abhors. Gladly, the bride isn’t too willing to marry him as well. Little did he know, his siblings managed to kidnap him so he can escape his fate, given that Scott is known to never saying no to their father. **** In his friend's private island where Scott is enjoying his escapade, he noticed a faint fragrant scent that lured him towards the bar. His attention directed to a brunette woman wearing a red fitted maxi dress, with mesmerizing sapphire eyes. He can’t help but approach Diana who was sitting at the bar. “Finally, my Luna”, Scott whispered to himself, not realizing it was his supposed to be bride.

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] After the coming-of-age ceremony, Ashley discovered a truth that shattered her entire world. She was not the real daughter of the Alpha of their pack. All this time, she had been living someone else’s life. And the person whose life she had unknowingly taken… was the very girl the entire pack had always scorned. The real daughter of the Alpha had grown up as the child of an Omega, a woman the pack constantly mocked as a shameless whore who never even mentioned the identity of her own daughter’s father. The girl had been treated like a plague, ignored, bullied, and looked down upon by nearly everyone in the pack. Yet no one could have predicted what would happen during the coming-of-age ceremony. When the time came for the young wolves to shift for the first time, the scorned girl shifted before everyone’s eyes. Not only that… Her strength rivaled that of the Alpha in his prime. Meanwhile, Ashley, the girl everyone believed to be the Alpha’s true daughter, stood frozen beneath the moonlight. No matter how hard she tried, she could not shift. Even after the moon passed overhead, nothing happened. In a single night, Ashley had not only humiliated herself before the entire pack, but she had also enraged both the Alpha and the Luna. After all, she had been raised as their proud and talented daughter, the one who had excelled in every lesson and training session. And yet… When the moment that truly mattered arrived, she couldn’t even shift. After the truth was revealed, Ashley’s world collapsed overnight. The people who had once called her family, her former parents, and her two brothers now looked at her with nothing but hatred. To them, Ashley had committed an unforgivable sin. And just like that, everything Ashley once had was taken away. The once-proud daughter of the Alpha… the young woman admired by everyone… the belle of the pack who had been regarded as the dream mate of countless wolves… All of it vanished. She fell from her pedestal overnight. Now, no one wanted anything to do with her. Desperate and heartbroken, Ashley sought help from the one person she believed would still stand by her side, her childhood friend and fiancé, the future Alpha of an allied pack she had grown up with. They had once been inseparable. From a young age, they had promised each other that they would become mates and never betray one another. Ashley had believed those promises with all her heart. Even after learning she was not the Alpha’s real daughter, she still believed that at least their feelings for each other had been genuine. But she was wrong. Not only did he trample on her love… He trampled on her dignity. Pretending to support her, he deceived her into believing he was still on her side. Only to later invite her to his mating ceremony, where he planned to humiliate her in front of everyone. Betrayed and humiliated, Ashley had no choice but to leave. With her head lowered and her pride shattered, she returned home, only to discover an even greater tragedy waiting for her. Her real mother had been violated and brutally murdered. The sight was so horrifying that Ashley’s heart nearly stopped. Her mother’s body lay there lifeless, her eyes still wide open as if she had been unable to close them even in death. The pack that had once been her home had already abandoned her. There was nothing left tying her to that place anymore. So Ashley left. But along the way, fate had something else waiting for her. She discovered her fated mate. Yet the moment their destinies intertwined, another cruel truth surfaced. Her mate’s father… Was the very enemy who had nearly annihilated her entire pack years ago. Now, love and hatred stood on opposite sides of the same fate. Would this twisted bond lead them toward love… Or would destiny force them to destroy each other instead? But what would happen if her ex also regretted his choice and wanted her back?
