Let Power Be Your Truth. Your Light. And Your Chains. That was the first law granted to the Nyxvalis clan. For thirty-eight generations it held. Through fire and blood, through empire and ruin, through centuries of war waged in the name of a bloodline that had long since ceased to be merely human. It held — and in holding, built a monolith so absolute that the world stopped asking whether it could fall. Then came the 39th Flame. Seven hundred and thirty-one entered the Chambers of Night. Forty-seven crawled back out. Not an army. Not a dynasty. An ember — dim, diminished, and already encircled by enemies who had spent years sharpening their finest wolves in anticipation of its arrival. A heresy in numbers alone. A silent warning to those still bold enough to hear it: If a monolith can tremble — so too can it fall. As the world prepares to record the embers in its annals, so must its instruments play their parts. Those duty-bound to hold the monolith in place. Those eager to test the might of a millennium of power. And the forty-seven — carrying a smiling ember within. A dark gothic world of political deceit and ancient bloodlines. Empires built on inherited violence. Power forged in law and broken in shadow. And beneath it all — the slow, certain rot of institutions that have never once been held accountable. This is the world of The Star Chronicles. A story about survival without innocence. Legacy worn like chains. And the particular kind of power that doesn't free you — it simply decides how you burn. Embers of the Calamity Volume III

Ethan Crowe walked out of prison after seven years with nothing to his name and nowhere to belong. The world he returned to was unrecognisable. Gates had torn open across the globe, monsters roamed beyond human control, and society now revolved around the Titled - people chosen by mysterious voices and granted supernatural powers that made them heroes, weapons, and rulers all at once. Ethan wasn’t one of them. Not at first. Lost, angry, and with no future worth chasing, Ethan was barely surviving when a voice finally spoke to him. "Your Title is… Lord Of Beasts." But something about his awakening was wrong. Instead of gaining power in the real world like every other Titled, Ethan awakened a System tied to the Tower Of Beasts - a brutal, game-like world he can only enter while asleep. Inside the Tower, Ethan must fight for survival against monstrous creatures, earning power through a system of skills, evolution, and beasts. As for the beasts he acquires there? They persist beyond his dreams... Registered as an E Rank Titled with only D Rank potential, Ethan should have been insignificant. Yet the Lord of Beasts cannot be measured by ordinary standards. As Ethan grows stronger at an impossible rate, his existence begins to ripple outward - drawing the attention of elite Titled, criminal syndicates, and forces lurking behind the Gates themselves. His past refuses to stay buried, his beasts grow more dangerous, and the truth behind his Title hints at something far more terrifying than anyone realises. In a world ruled by power, Ethan Crowe starts at the bottom. But as the Lord of Beasts, it’s only a matter of time before he climbs to the top! P.S.

The last stronghold of humanity has fallen. Lucifer Obsidian dies in the apocalyptic fires of the Abyssal invasion. He snaps awake in his own bed exactly ten years in the past. It is the Day of Awakening. This is the exact moment the Soulbound Arcanum integrates with reality. The system enforces the absolute laws of magic, stats, and levels upon the world. The soul of Lucifer is too heavy. It is completely saturated with a decade of bloodshed and divine wars. The World Laws attempt to assign him a standard mortal class. His paradoxical existence violently shatters the system instead. [Error! Paradox detected. Host possesses excessive timeline energy!] [Class integration abandoned. Recalculating reality formatting…] [Divine Talent Awakened: Apex Multiplier (Passive)] [Effect: All material gains, attributes, summoning probabilities, and resources affecting the Host are multiplied 10,000 fold.] Lucifer is armed with a divine system that fundamentally overwrites reality. He refuses to play by rules of a doomed timeline. He is not going to just survive the apocalypse. He is going to completely monopolize it. A single breath of ambient mana violently skyrockets his physical attributes to superhuman levels. A cheap low-tier summoning stone tears a physical hole in the celestial veil. It pulls down Elara as a lethally beautiful Fallen Valkyrie. A basic architectural repair scroll instantly transforms his crumbling family estate into an impenetrable black-glass fortress. The Great Integration unleashes dungeons across the earth. Mutated beasts and corrupt gods flood the physical plane. The monsters were no more the apex predators. Lucifer will sever his ties to the rotting earth and forcefully raise his kingdom into the sky. The Abyssal gods are coming to end the world. The Regressor is waiting for them. He has all the absolute power this time.

In a world where race and power decide everything, one bloodline suffers more than all others. The Beast-born, descendants of the god-beasts, blessed by the world itself were hunted, enslaved, and broken. Their divine gift became their curse. But one rises. A beast who refuses to kneel. Thrown into a brutal succession war where the victor becomes ruler of that is holy and unholy, Azreal must fight against angels , demons, and mortals alike. To win means freedom, love, and dominion. To lose means to kneel or die This is the story of chains shattered, thrones conquered, and a beast who will rule heaven, hell, and everything between.

If the only thing that carries weight in this world... it would be status. And this one word carries such weight that millions die for it. So being born into a noble family is extreme luck in itself. Weak and poor commoners were discarded other useful were treated as dogs. The hierarchy of the society is so crushing that an average commoner would be willing to commit genocide to obtain favors from the crazy noble. But do you know what's worse than being a commoner? Being born as a bastard, an illegitimate child. Ran Bloodrune was no exception. Being born as a bastard of Bloodrunes all he had done in his life was to follow their every orders without hesitation. Just to prove himself to his father, to get noticed, to show his his worth. But everything went downhill after he was afflicted by a rare disease called 'mana drain'. That day, he lost his worth and died. Perhaps the one after him will fulfill his most cherished wish or...

"Can you trust your own senses when reality itself is a lie? Deep within the silence of the 'Unknown Reality,' ancient terrors wake.

The Void doesn't just echo—it hungers. Are you ready to face the truth, or will you become just another echo in the dark?"

Or will she become the mafia king’s greatest obsession? Dark Romance | Possessive Love | Twists & Danger

Eli has lived his whole life in Port Virel, a small coastal town where most things stay the same year after year. The streets are familiar, the school is the same one everyone’s parents went to, and most days move at the same steady pace. It is the kind of place where nothing strange is supposed to happen. For most of his life Eli never expected it would. Over the past year, though, something about his life has started to feel slightly off. He catches himself zoning out in the middle of class and realizing minutes have passed without him noticing. Sometimes he stares at something and gets the strange feeling that the world shifted a little while he wasn’t paying attention. Not in an obvious way, just enough to leave him unsettled afterward. It is the kind of thing that is easy to brush off as stress or lack of sleep, so that is exactly what he tries to do. That explanation stops working after one morning in Port Virel forces him to accept that some things in the world don’t follow the rules he thought they did. Soon after, Eli is taken to Aurelion, the capital city, by a man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Compared to Port Virel, the city feels enormous. Glass towers rise behind older stone buildings, highways stack across the skyline, and the entire place moves with a pace Eli has never experienced before. At first it just feels like the normal difference between a quiet town and a capital city. The longer he stays there, though, the more he begins to realize that parts of the city operate under rules most people never notice. There are people in the world known as carriers. They are born with rare paired abilities called binaries, and those abilities follow their own strange logic. Most of the public has no idea carriers exist. For generations certain organizations have quietly located them, trained them, and kept their existence hidden so the rest of the world never has to deal with the consequences. Alongside carriers there are also things called shades. Even the people who study them struggle to fully explain what they are. They are tied to the same strange structure of reality that carriers interact with, and when they appear they can become extremely dangerous. Encounters with them are rare for ordinary people, mostly because the groups responsible for dealing with them work hard to make sure the public never sees what is actually happening. Eli enters this hidden system with almost no understanding of it. The people around him already know the rules and treat them like common sense. He is still trying to figure out why he was brought into it at all. The more he learns, the more it becomes clear that the world surrounding carriers and shades has been operating quietly for a long time, shaped by history most people have never heard about. Binary Reflections follows Eli as he tries to make sense of this reality while still holding on to the life he thought he understood. What begins as confusion slowly turns into something larger. A hidden system built on secrecy, dangerous abilities that few people truly understand, and a past that may be more connected to him than anyone is willing to explain.

I blinked awake in a penthouse suite overlooking neon-lit skyscrapers, my phone buzzing with notifications from the social feeds everyone obsesses over. Yeah, me, Emily the broke barista, got herself transmigrated into 'Alphas' Eternal Knot,' that addictive novel about cutthroat elites in a world ruled by alpha-omega pheromones. Think corporate empires meets scandalous romance—alphas command boardrooms and hearts, omegas get lavish indulgence—or drama. As 'villainess' Emily Leonhart, heir to a fashion dynasty, I was billed as a 'rare' female alpha—destined to sabotage the sweet omega heroine before the four alpha male leads exposed and ruined me. A cliché novel in which the villainess gets defeated—and boom! Everyone gets their own happy ending. My plan? Well, it was simple... I mean, I didn't want to compete for the heroine with them. Then again, I don't have any interests in the male leads too. But then, there was a plot twist—my heat slams in like a spotlight malfunction—flushes, tremors, total meltdown. "I'm an omega?!" I gasped. Turns out the novel lied; my "alpha" aura didn't even exist! My predecessor was hiding her omega biology. And this very thing was found out by the male leads, who hated me. Now I'm dodging their advances like a pro, and ignoring their persistent calls. Yet, that wasn't enough. The heroine—Lily was an alpha! What the heck! Slamming me against the wall, she sniffed me while giving me a dark possessive look. "Why are you running?" "Me? I... I-I am not... r-running, Lily..." "Then, why don't let me mark you?" "No!!" Juggling four 'unwanted' male alphas and one relentless heroine-alpha fixated on marking me, and my omega instincts that keep making me flush at the worst moments. Can I survive Lily's next bold move without getting claimed in the society pages? Disclaimer: It’s just a novel—don’t be serious. As the author of this novel, I would like to say that—all the characters are from my imagination—they don't have any sort of existence in the real world. Nah! Nope, they don’t. Trust me—this is just a novel. So, there are themes in the story that might be disturbing. But let me tell you—I condone them, and I suggest you to take everything as fictious storytelling. There is no need to think over it. And if you find it very disturbing then, I request you to not read this novel any further. Also, I would like to apologize to anyone who might get hurt by this novel. Remember—it's just a novel, and I don't encourage any of my characters' absurd 'decisions.' Thank you.

Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes!(18+ ONLY) *PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO INTENSE INTIMATE SCENES* "Say you're ours." Nicholas's hand tightened around my throat....not choking, just holding, reminding me who owned every breath I took. His silver eyes burned into mine, relentless and demanding. "Say it, Lilith." "I'm yours," I whispered, and the words tasted like surrender and salvation all at once. "Louder." Sebastian's voice was dark silk behind me, his massive body pressed against my back, his hands bruising my hips. "We want to hear you scream it." Before I could answer, Lucian slammed into me from behind, filling me so completely I saw stars. The stretch, the fullness, the overwhelming sensation of being claimed....it stole every thought from my mind. "I'm....." I tried to speak, but then Nicholas was lifting my leg, positioning himself, and suddenly he was pushing inside me from the front, and I was being taken by both of them at once. Too much. Too full. Too intense. "Breathe," Nicholas commanded against my lips, but breathing was impossible when they were both moving, finding a rhythm that had me trembling violently between them. "I'm yours!" The confession finally tore from my throat as Lucian's mouth found that sensitive spot on my neck, teeth scraping, threatening to mark me permanently. "I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours...." "Good girl," all three of them growled in unison. "Now prove it." Lilith Thorne is drowning. Her father.....Beta of Shadowmere Pack....was murdered six months ago. Her mother overdosed on wolfsbane and lies comatose. Her boyfriend found his true mate and threw her away like garbage. And she's wolfless.....a reject in wolf society, unable to shift, worthless and invisible. With eviction looming and hospital bills crushing her, Lilith makes a desperate choice: enter the Rite, an ancient ritual where unmated Alphas can claim women for one night in exchange for gold. But she's not paired with just any Alphas. She's chosen by Lucian, Nicholas, and Sebastian Blackwood.....the Cursed Alpha Kings. Triplets cursed by the Moon Goddess to find their true mate before they turn 26, or lose themselves to their wolves forever. They have three months left. What starts as a transaction becomes an obsession. The moment they touch her, their curse quiets. Their wolves recognize something in her. And they can't let her go. But Lilith is not what she seems. She's the last daughter of the most powerful witch bloodline in existence, her magic suppressed since birth. And when that magic awakens, it will change everything. When she finally learns the truth....that breaking their curse means taking it upon herself....Lilith makes a choice that will change everything. She sacrifices herself to save them, dying in their arms while they scream her name. But death isn't the end. It's only the beginning. And when she rises from the ashes, marked by death and wielding powers she never imagined, she won't be the same broken girl who walked into the Rite. She'll be something far more dangerous. Their mate. Their queen. Their salvation. Or their destruction. Part 1: THE CLAIMING How far would you fall for three kings who worship you like a religion and claim you like a conquest? Part 2: THE RESURRECTION How dark would you become to reclaim what death stole from you? The Mating Ritual is a dark paranormal romance featuring possessive alphas, intense sexual content, a strong but broken heroine discovering her power, found family, fated mates, and a love so consuming it transcends death itself. So guys for every 20 privilege chapters unlock, I will upload 5 additional chapters apart from the 3 chapters for that day. Gifts will be well appreciated also. Thank you!!!

In a world where devils are a nightmarish reality and Japan stands as the epicenter of ultimate darkness, a relentless war has raged for millennia. At its heart lies "The Flower: The Creator of the Living"—the primordial source of all existence. Akos, a formidable sorcerer, is the world’s final defense. He is the wielder of the "Infinite Eyes," a legendary power that is neither a technique nor a gift but Nature’s own response to existential threats. The Infinite Eyes manifest only when the world is on the brink of collapse, making Akos the only being capable of stopping the atrocious Yugo Kanji. Unable to kill a force of nature, Kanji devises a sadistic masterstroke: he imprisons Akos within a "fake world." To ensure his suppression, Kanji forges a pact with the malevolent entity "DEVILS END," turning Akos into a living vessel for the demon. Every day is a losing battle for Akos. Inside this simulated reality, DEVILS END exerts total control over his mind, weaving a web of hallucinations and lies. Akos wanders through his life as a member of the "ALPHA" gang, lost and broken, haunted by visions of things that do not exist. As the demon erodes his sanity, Akos struggles to distinguish truth from the nightmare projected into his brain. But the simulation is not perfect. While Yugo Kanji sends rival gangs to eliminate his physical form, eerie discrepancies in the Fake World’s history begin to surface. Through the fog of the demon’s lies, the Infinite Eyes are starting to twitch. Will Akos regain control of his mind and shatter the illusion, or will the demon’s whispers extinguish the world’s last hope forever?

I don’t know why this keeps happening to me. Every time I wake up, it’s April 1st—the first day of the school year in Japan. At first, I ignored it. Pretended it was normal. Maybe I was dreaming. Maybe I was just losing my mind. Two loops passed like that. Then I saw it. I saw her push my childhood friend down the stairs. When Osana hit the floor, time froze. Static filled the world. And then— Reset. April 1st. That’s when I realized the truth. I wasn’t just repeating time. I was trapped in a loop. At first I thought the reset was tied to Osana. Save her, break the loop, right? Wrong. Because then Amai died. Reset. Then Oka. Reset. Even the school nurse. Reset. That’s when it finally clicked. The loop isn’t about one girl. It’s about all of them. Every time a waifu dies… the world resets. Which means if I ever want to escape this nightmare— I have to keep every single one of them alive. No powers. No blessings. Just trial, error… and an endless number of loops. “So why are you telling me this?” she asks. I look across the table at the one person who never reacts to the resets. The one person who always seems to know more than she should. “Well… you’re the only one who remembers things that shouldn’t exist anymore.” I lean closer. “Info-chan… you’re basically a fifth-dimensional entity, aren’t you?” --- MC: Taro Yamada Ship: Taro × Harem
