When life gives you mysterious potions… chug first, ask questions never. Blaine was having a perfectly normal day—until he wasn’t. One blink later, he’s transmigrated into the twisted world of Lord of the Mysteries, where logic takes a vacation and secrets have teeth. Before he can say, “Where’s my system?” he accidentally downs a potion and wakes up as a full-time Secrets Suppliant (comes with free headaches, divine side-eye, and a 90% risk of insanity). Now he’s stuck juggling cryptic gods and overly dramatic cults. But hey, someone’s gotta slay the True Creator and crush the Aurora Order. --- What to expect - Strong Mc But not OP(later on) - hates the aurora order - cool powers - 2 days per day minimum Join us here: https://discord.gg/Gut3w8xgC9 If you can’t, no worries at all — I’m just happy you’re here!

With a stepmother comes a stepfather—but for Loretta, the cruelest truth was this: her own mother treated her worse than either. “You will marry in your sister’s place,” her mother declared, her voice cold and final. Loretta’s breath caught. “Why? Isabella is the one who caused all this. Why must I pay for her mistakes?” Because the man waiting for her was no ordinary groom. Everyone knew Kevin Goodman was cursed. Two wives—both dead within a week. A fiancée—gone before the engagement day had even ended. To be tied to him was to walk willingly into the jaws of death. Yet, bound by his grandfather’s will, Kevin needed a wife… and an heir. He was the rightful successor to a vast empire—the kind of man women once dreamed of marrying. But now? What was wealth… when it came with a death sentence?

You think you can understand Chaos? Foolish! Chaos isn't merely disorder; it is the ultimate paradox, a power woven into the very fabric of reality itself. In a hyper-advanced future built on quantum technology, humanity is awakened by the same energy tearing the universe apart. Abominations from a higher dimension invade, forcing humans to the brink of extinction. In the shadows of this broken world, Missio Augustus wanders aimlessly like a lost soul, trying to find meaning in his solitary existence. Forced to relive his lifelong trauma through the tricks of a ruthless drug lord, he becomes a static being frozen in a rapidly changing world. But as an ancient church emerges to bring Mayhem upon humanity, Demons, Gods, Dragons and Eldritch horrors stir as humanity drives itself to its own demise... This is a relaunch of my original work. I am moving this story from my previous account (SageofMusic) to this new handle (Ekadash). I am the sole creator of Music Box Mayhem.

For six years, I was Hazel, girlfriend to the future Alpha, Julian. I thought we had forever, a cherished place in our werewolf pack, even as a human. Then Mate Hunt night ripped it all away. I woke up lost in the forest, only to find Julian with her – his true fated mate. His words hit harder than the forest floor: I was just a 'placeholder.' Six years together, and he tossed me aside, his fingers bruising my throat as he growled that I meant nothing. My world, my heart – shattered. Left for dead, freezing and injured, a different kind of predator found me. A colossal black wolf, eyes glowing gold, big enough to swallow me whole. But instead of tearing me apart, he curled around me, a warm, terrifying shield against the biting cold. For a moment, I felt safe. That safety vanished when my pack, my family, found us. The Alpha who raised me, Maxen, didn't see a survivor. He saw a disappointment. Turns out, he’d only taken me in hoping I’d magically become a werewolf like my mother – the fated mate who’d rejected him. When I couldn't shift, he cast me out, branding me an omega, the pack’s punching bag. Now, I'm less than nothing, surviving on scraps and enduring their cruelty. What they don't know, what I don't know, is that my monstrous protector is no ordinary rogue. He's Lykos, the wolf of Kael, the Lycan King. And Lykos has decided I am his fated mate – a human. Kael is furious, but his wolf has a will of its own, dragging the King himself towards my abusive pack. My old life is over. My only ally is a creature of legend. And the most feared Lycan in existence is on his way. Is he coming to save me, or is the King's arrival just another nightmare waiting to begin?

A fated bond that could kill her. A king who’d rather let her die than crave her. Violet isn’t just an outsider in her wolf pack—she’s a ghost. Raised by a traitorous Alpha and discarded by the mate she thought she knew, she flees into the night with a death sentence on her heels. Freedom is her only hope... until she crashes into ​​Asher. The ​​Lycan King​​ is a blade forged in ice and shadow. He rules with absolute ruthlessness, haunted by a past that devours mercy. When Violet collapses at his feet, his instinct isn’t salvation—it’s annihilation. Because the moment their skin brushes, a searing, unwanted bond ignites between them. ​​And this bond doesn't just burn—it bleeds.​ She never wanted a king. He never needed a weakness. But fate demands blood… and the first cut might save—or slaughter—them both.

Humanity is thrown into a cruel death game. Everyone has to use their vehicle to travel on the infinite road, desperately gathering supplies while avoiding the game's trials. Sandrine is just the same. Except... Why does she have a horse instead of a car ? The tribulations of an insane heroine galloping in panties and fighting big trucks with her trusty picthfork !

Content Notice!!!! This is an alternate-history work featuring reincarnation and supernatural elements. It deals extensively with geopolitics, warfare, religion, ethnicity, imperial power, and morally complex decisions. The narrative portrays real-world inspired historical tensions and uncomfortable subjects without simplification.

Although at the beginning there will be comedy, and even slight Romance. And there will be Family Building. --- Reborn as the Iron Prince In his first life, Zhang Ge was no hero. A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]

A young huntress carves out her pointless existence alone in the woods. A young pilgrim walks the path a god once took, in search of purpose. A fading legend clings to old duties, his image as tarnished as his body, trying to stave off something dark. Something hungry. Sadia, a troubled young woman, has lived in isolation for years, convinced fate had forgotten her. But fate hasn’t—and it isn’t long before her past comes clawing back. The dead don’t stay buried. Not while he is watching. Crimson Dawn, sheltered and devout, journeys out to prove his worth as an acolyte of Saron—unaware that something ancient and awful still follows him. Duras, once a hero of the legendary Eight, wants nothing more than to fade into peace and silence. But when he accepts one last job, he’s pulled back into a world that still remembers him—only to find that something inside him is unraveling. Starving. The path is long. The trial await. An old shadow clings to the past with decrepit fingers. One question remains. Who will walk away at the end of it all?

The world changed in a single moment. A scream. A bite. And the merciless death of someone irreplaceable. What began as an ordinary workday spiraled into a nightmare drenched in blood and betrayal—where trusted friends turned into ravenous monsters, and the living were devoured without mercy. Paralyzed by grief, hopelessness took root. But even in despair, a message broke through the darkness—a message from long-estranged family, igniting a spark in a heart that had nearly given up. Regret. Guilt. A desperate yearning for reconciliation. There was now something to live for. Something to protect. A reason to fight. But just as hope flickered, a grotesque abomination emerged—an unnatural creature reeking of rot and death, far worse than any zombie seen before. With death closing in, salvation arrived in the form of a being not of this world—an angelic figure offering a second chance and a mysterious system unlike any other: one that grants power, but demands everything. Three paths appeared—each one a weapon in the war to come. An infinite arsenal. A fortress of might. The fury of close-range combat. With every level gained, the world itself evolves. Allies rise. Monsters mutate. And the mystery behind the outbreak—and the system's true origin—grows ever darker. This isn’t just a fight for survival. It’s a reckoning. Because power always comes at a price. And in a world devoured by the undead… The price may be everything.

Cha Eunha is broke. Not "skip dessert" broke. Not "wear last year's uniform" broke. She's applying to be a janitor at a corporate building broke. But when a fire breaks out before her interview even begins, Eunha does something impossible—she bends flames away from two trapped children. A burst of light. A moment of power she didn't know she had. Which leads to a woman in pastel dresses handing her a black-and-gold envelope. Haeuri Academy. A prestigious school hidden in the mountains. A place for students with abilities that exist between light and dark. A place where Eunha—who has no control, no training, and no clue—is suddenly enrolled. There's just one problem. She's not supposed to be here. Her first day leads to her accidentally offering a prank candy to the scariest teacher on campus. Then a supposedly normal trip to the principal's office leads to her overhearing a conversation she shouldn't. Two voices. Two brothers. One secret. Haesol—the cold, untouchable principal who rules Haeuri with frozen precision. Han Yul—the quiet back-row sleeper who is coincidentally in the same class as Eunha. They are the Twilight Sovereigns. The school founder's sons. The most powerful beings in Haeuri. And no one knows the powers they wield. Not the students. Not the teachers. Only each other. Until Eunha appeared. When Han Yul catches Eunha eavesdropping, he doesn't threaten her. He doesn't erase her memory. He just... smiles. Amused. Curious. Warm. But there's something he's not telling her. At Haeuri Academy, the sun and moon don't fight. They balance. But Eunha? She's a spark in a world of twilight. And sparks have a habit of burning everything down.

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.
