"You will cum when you earn it, slut," He spat, slapping my cunt again. "You absolute, depraved BASTARD, I was so close!" "That filthy mouth." He watched me writhe with cold burning satisfaction in those eyes and leaned closer to whisper. "It keeps mouthing off. Let's give that dirty, filthy mouth something to do."

Reborn in modern Tokyo, Kuroha Akira comes back with exactly zero cheat abilities, zero morals, and zero motivation. His life goal is simple and noble: lie flat forever. Unfortunately, lying flat costs money—and working? Absolutely not. Since no elegant, rich onee-san is lining up to keep him, Akira pivots to a more long-term investment strategy: Find future rich girls. Raise them. Optimize favorability. Cash out dividends later. Think of it as angel investing—except the startups are people, the currency is affection, and the exit strategy is becoming a full-time kept man. This is Akira’s personal life hack: “Favorability is just an emotional stock market.” As long as he can manipulate emotional trends, hedge risks across multiple “portfolios,” and prevent any single relationship from crashing the whole system… A life of being financially supported until death is statistically achievable. Our slogan: “Lie flat. Rot slowly. Let someone else pay the bills.” *** But reality, as always, drops an unexpected patch update. Breaking News: The long-missing legendary entrepreneur and investor Kuroha Akira has been rescued after years of captivity. The prime suspects? Several women he maintained “complicated emotional positions” with during his high school era. Footage from the rescue scene captures Akira muttering in disbelief: “Why… I drained so much money… …and her favorability went up instead of crashing?!” *** His life ultimately proves two immutable truths: Emotional markets are more volatile than crypto. Being a kept man always comes with hidden costs. *** Disclaimer: Yes, this is a harem story. No, these heroines are not mentally normal. Proceed at your own emotional risk. https://patreon.com/BlackZetsu?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

Fly, a prodigy, binds with the “Freeloader Football System” and begins his journey of living off his superstar girlfriend—none other than international pop diva Taylor Swift. With his girlfriend's fame skyrocketing and her expectations spiraling out of control, Fly finds himself in a peculiar situation: balance love, luxury, and the pressure of becoming the greatest footballer of all time (GOAT). To the world, he may be a kept man—but behind the scenes, he’s grinding hard on the pitch. Football legends weigh in: Cristiano Ronaldo: “I’m the first, second, and third greatest in history.

Shirogane Kaito died from overwork. Thirty something, corporate heir, alone on his office floor. No friends. No peace. Just work until his body gave out. He wakes up nineteen in a world where men outnumber women one to seven — and every man acts insufferable about it. Women treated as objects. Arrogance as a personality. The whole social order built on a ratio nobody chose. Kaito wants nothing to do with any of it. He already lived the exhausting life. He is not doing it again. Using nothing but his business knowledge from his previous life he builds himself up from zero — labour, investing, trading — and within a year he is completely financially free. Buys a house. Fills it with manga. Takes a café job just because he likes it. Peaceful, quiet, finally on his own terms. Then a homeless girl with purple hair has nowhere to go and he has a spare room. And somehow after that his quiet life starts filling up — with a possessive older woman who knows his schedule better than he does, a campus girl who hated all men until she met him, a silver haired coworker always on his shift, a tall girl who just wants to be called cute, a shy girl nobody has ever really seen, and a neighbour with two daughters who has already quietly decided she is not letting him go. He is not looking for any of this. It finds him anyway.

Isabella was supposed to be sipping champagne at a luxury spa, not waking up in the middle of a forest. Worse, a SYSTEM had attached itself to her like some clingy ex, spouting nonsense about survival, quests, and—oh, hell no—manual labor. "System, I was NOT built for the wilderness! My ideal ‘roughing it’ experience involves a five-star hotel with bad WiFi!" Now, instead of lounging in silk robes, she’s being ordered to farm? To hunt? "A farming quest? You want me—a city girl—to grow food? System, I once killed a cactus by overwatering it. This is NOT my calling!" And don’t even get her started on the hygiene situation. "You want me to bathe in a cold river? Darling, I require warm water, scented oils, and an ambience! What do I look like—some barbarian?!" Unfortunately, the locals—big, muscular beastmen—don’t seem to understand the concept of self-care. The women? Neglecting their skin like it’s a crime to be radiant. The men? Walking hygiene disasters. "Ladies, if your man can smell you before he sees you, we have a problem." "You see this? This is lotion. It exists so you don’t look like a dried-up leaf. Use it." "A beard should be majestic, not tragic. Let me fix it." And the beastmen? They don’t just stare at her like she’s an oddity. No, they hover. They smirk. They lean in too close, fangs flashing with amusement. "Why do you keep looking at me like that?" she huffed, crossing her arms. The panther grinned, his tail flicking. "Because you’re fascinating when you’re annoyed." No, absolutely not. She was not here for this nonsense. "If you have time to stare, you have time to moisturize." She didn’t ask to be here. She didn’t ask to be their savior. But if she has to suffer through this world, she’s making everyone around her suffer less—through skincare, style, and some serious attitude. "If I hear one more ‘We don’t season our food here,’ I’m launching a war." "If you have time to gossip, you have time to do squats." "You want to impress a woman? Start with not smelling like the battlefield." Survival isn’t just about fighting monsters; it’s about looking good while doing it. So what if the System keeps throwing impossible quests her way? "What do you mean ‘you can’t skip quests’?! Since when?! Where is the skip button?! I demand a skip button!" But somewhere between dodging ridiculous quests and fixing these people’s tragic grooming habits, Isabella found herself in situations. Uncomfortable, heart-racing situations. Like being trapped against a tree by the red python, his red eyes half-lidded as he murmured, "You talk too much, little star. Should I silence you?" Like waking up with the lion lord’s fur-lined cloak draped over her shoulders, his deep voice gruff, "You shiver in your sleep. I’ll fix that." Like the phoenix watching her every move, his burning gaze searing into her skin as he mused, "You cause chaos wherever you go, but I find that I don’t mind." Oh, hell. No. She was not about to fall for four beastmen. She was too pretty for this much stress. "If you insult me again, I’ll make sure your soul needs a beauty upgrade." "I refuse to be disrespected by anyone who dresses like an unwashed tree branch." And yet, when a rival tribe came to challenge her, when danger lurked too close, those same beastmen stood beside her—smirking, taunting, fighting for her. "A beastman growled at me today. I growled back. He ran. I am the alpha now." Isabella isn’t just surviving. She’s thriving. And this world better keep up.

Hide-and-seek was always Hashida Kiyonari's favorite childhood game. But even as an adult, he never really stopped playing it—only now, he was hiding much bigger secrets. Kiyonari, also known as Soo Kihyun, had just been appointed secretary to the chairman's grandson, executive director Je Soo-hyun—the company's most admired yet most feared boss. Soo-hyun was renowned not only for his striking beauty as on omega but also for his sharp, uncompromising leadership. To Kiyonari, however, his new boss seemed to harbor nothing but disdain. Errand after errand piled on his shoulders, and the work grew increasingly demanding. Yet none of that compared to the weight of the truth he carried: Kiyonari was an alpha living under the disguise of a beta, a secret he couldn't afford to let anyone—colleagues, or even family—discover. Except to his childhood best friend, who had known since before. But one slip was all it took. In a moment of carelessness, his body betrayed him as he fell into a sudden rut. The reaction it triggered in Soo-hyun was the very scenario both of them had worked hard to avoid—sending the omega into heat. And yet, what followed was not hatred, no regrets. But something far more big for Soo-hyun.

Mature Contact... 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!

This story is set in the world of international cricket where friendships, rivalry, and hidden feelings collide. The story revolves around Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan, the youngest and most chaotic best-friend duo in the Indian cricket team. Everyone in the team already knows one obvious truth: these two idiots are hopelessly in love with each other. Everyone… except Shubman Gill himself. Ishan Kishan slowly realizes that his feelings for his best friend are not just friendship anymore. But Gill keeps misunderstanding his own emotions as simple friendship. Seeing this situation, the entire team decides to step in and force Gill to face his feelings… by making him jealous. The result? Chaos, teasing, jealousy, and emotional realizations inside the Indian cricket team. First Arc: Realization This arc focuses on introducing the team dynamics and the deep friendship between Gill and Ishan. The team constantly notices how inseparable they are — sharing rooms, joking, fighting, and always supporting each other. While Gill continues treating Ishan like his closest friend, Ishan slowly realizes that he is actually in love with him. Confused and scared of ruining their friendship, Ishan decides to hide his feelings. However, the senior players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli quickly notice the situation. Second Arc: The Jealousy Plan The team creates a ridiculous but entertaining plan. Their goal: make Shubman Gill jealous enough to realize his feelings. Players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rishabh Pant start teasing Gill nonstop while pretending to support Ishan with other people. Some players even intentionally flirt with Ishan just to trigger Gill’s reactions. Gill becomes irritated, confused, and increasingly possessive without understanding why. Meanwhile, Ishan struggles between enjoying Gill’s reactions and feeling guilty for playing along with the team’s plan. Third Arc: Breaking Point As Gill’s jealousy grows stronger, he starts questioning his emotions. Why does it bother him when someone gets close to Ishan? Why does he feel angry when Ishan laughs with someone else? During a tense moment after a match, Gill finally confronts Ishan, leading to an emotional argument where the truth slowly begins to surface. Fourth Arc: Claiming What’s Mine Gill finally realizes that his feelings were never just friendship. After a moment of vulnerability and encouragement from the team, he accepts the truth and finally confesses to Ishan. In true Gill style, his confession is half-awkward, half-possessive, leading to the moment where he finally says: “Stop flirting with everyone else… you’re mine.” The team celebrates their victory — not on the field, but in finally getting these two idiots together.

[18+] [MATURE CONTENT] He died once — pushed to death by the one person who had spent years making his life hell. || He woke up in someone else's body. Someone else's wedding. Someone else's empire. The rules of his new life were simple: smile at the banquets, pour the tea, be the perfect house-husband. Survive. Gerffron Wadee was very good at surviving. He had already done it once, in a different body, in a different world, under the hands of someone who hated him for simply existing. || He had not planned on Styrmir. He had not planned on the boy locked in the dungeon beneath the estate — eighteen years old, body wasted to half that, eyes like winter that had forgotten it was allowed to melt. He had not planned on the way that boy flinched at raised voices but never at his. Had not planned on the nights spent teaching him to read, the mornings teaching him to fight, the quiet dangerous in-between hours that felt like something Gerffron had never once been allowed to have. || He told himself it was pity. Then responsibility. He ran out of lies around the time Styrmir started looking at him like he was the only fixed point in a spinning world. The Duke has her own secrets. The Crown Prince has his own designs. And the past Gerffron thought he'd left behind in another life has followed him across worlds, wearing a brand new face. Gerffron Wadee has survived one lifetime of being destroyed by someone he trusted.

Like many books about reincarnation. This is a story about a young man reincarnating into a world filled with Vikings and Dragons. Let's see how he survives in this new world full of dangerous beasts and men. Disclaimer: The only things I own are my OCs and this story. This is my first story on here. If you don't like it, don't read it.

Do you believe in reincarnation? Some people would say yes, while others would say no. But what if it truly existed? Surely, everyone—especially those who felt like failures in life—would wish for another chance to live, right? *** Merlin Ken, a renowned editor, died while reviewing the raw draft of a popular novel titled “The Lost Hero.” But instead of moving on to the afterlife, he awoke to find himself reincarnated inside the very novel he had been editing! Worse yet, he wasn’t the protagonist—he was just an extra character with the same name, fated to become nothing more than a stepping stone for the main character. Determined to survive, Merlin resolved to defy fate by breaking the novel’s plot! By chance, a mysterious system appeared before him to help! As time passed, however, Merlin began to notice strange deviations—events that never existed in the original story. "[Ding! The first mission has been released! Awaken your Guardian Spirit on Awakening Day, three days from now! Reward: 1x Special Talent Awakening Potion!]" "[Ding! Congratulations! You have awakened the Guardian Spirit of the Ancient Dragon Empress! The reward has been delivered!]" Merlin: “What!? That’s impossible! My Guardian Spirit was supposed to be trash! How did it become an extraordinary figure instead!? Someone explain this to me!” And so, Merlin’s journey to change his fate began… *** #Note: 1. This is my first novel, so it may not be perfect. I welcome any feedback or criticism, and I’ll do my best to listen and improve. 2. The main character is a single man who has never had a partner. I’ll try to make his interactions with the heroines feel natural and reasonable. 3. This story follows the harem genre, but on a small scale—around four or five heroines. Not every female character will become the MC’s partner. The romance will develop at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow. 4. At the start, the MC will be a bit naive since he comes from the modern world and still holds onto his moral principles. But over time, he will adapt and become ruthless when necessary. 5. There will be no NTR, yuri, or similar elements. This will be a straightforward story. Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll support this novel! #Tags: #Action, #Fantasy, #Adventure, #Romance, #Magic, #Political, #Anti-Hero, #Harem, #Reincarnation, #Dragon, #Academy, #Handsome-Male-Lead, #Beautiful-Female-Lead, #Conspiracy, #Magic, #Elves, #Yandere, #ObsessiveCharacter

A totally normal guy named Roma gets thrown into a cultivation world… and immediately gets stuck with a system that basically says: “Make a team. Grow stronger together.” Sounds easy, right? Wrong. Because MC somehow ends up leading a group that looks more like a walking disaster squad than a proper cultivation team. With a system that rewards team bonds, trust, and cooperation, Roma tries to build his perfect squad… but instead gets: A loud troublemaker A calm but slightly scary strategist A shy member who barely talks A suspiciously skilled disguise expert A “completely normal” handsome guy who may or may not be hiding something And more chaos waiting to happen As they travel, fight, survive, and try to grow stronger together, one thing becomes very clear: This is NOT your typical heroic team story. This story contains gender-bender elements and crossdressing used for plot, disguise, and character development. It is NOT BL / Yaoi.

The Apocalypse descended upon the Blue Planet; humans were transformed into zombies and began to kill and devour others, marking the beginning of an era of chaos and death. ​For many, the Apocalypse became their greatest nightmare, but for Mark, an ugly and ordinary young man, it became the springboard for his Supreme Ascension.

[The war between light and shadow is over. Shadow won.] A queen who never sleeps hunts her daughter. A cannibal who carries her child's strength inside her, atoning for sins not hers alone to bear. A devil offers a kingdom to a girl who has nothing, and asks nothing in return. From the moment Rya was born, the Void has been staring at her. Patiently waiting for the right moment. They want her dead, but they never moved. Why? Because her mother is Nyxelene, the only woman strong enough to rule one of the three great kingdoms in a world owned by men. The rumours about what Nyxelene could do were already enough to make most monsters choke on their ambitions. But that’s not the real reason the Void only watches. A child has two parents. Half of Rya’s blood belongs to a name that makes even the things without mouths shut up and crawl back into the dark. For that same reason, the light had its gaze on her too, but neither side dares make any moves. However, nothing stays safe forever. Now Nyxelene herself is hunting the daughter she never wanted, and only she knows why. A princess who can’t ride a horse, can’t swing a sword, is suddenly the most wanted person in Runevale. In her blind panic she crashes into a woman with perfect skin and the gentlest smile you’ll ever see. This woman eats her enemies alive and spits out the bones. That said, even she was not enough to protect her from Nyxelene. In her zero hour, the devil made an entrance with his hand outstretched and a bright smile on his face. He offers Rya his hand. He offers her one of the three great kingdoms. He offers her himself. Question is: Why in the seven hells would the Devil protect a helpless prey when he could just drag her soul to hell and call it a day? Now, the most watched girl in the two realms just became the devil's problem. Your move, Void and light.
