WHO THE FRIGG IS AOI? and what the frigg is he hiding from? What the frigg happened to Yaya– And what the ever-loving FUCK do you mean “what is coffee? HiDE, Aoi! by HerbivorePapi Aoi is your highly emotional, unusually thoughtful, young mage. He’s cursed with gorgeous looks, stellar intellect, stark white hair and more mana than the Goddess herself, maybe. Nurtured by his adoptive mother SINGLE mother B, known to only him as Yaya, he grew up in an idyllic, loving home filled with her vast collection of scientific and magical knowledge gathered across ages and worlds. A pastoral meadow surrounded by spirits and fae (neighbors), a magical home with rooms upon rooms stacked with books of many worlds for him to study as the centuries were to pass. Surrounded by his companions, and hidden from the world at large. The handsome, brooding “Mamoru” stopped coming for lessons. With him gone, Yaya’s a mess and refuses to ever mention his name again, and worse; there are no new volumes or grimoires from the outside world to add to the library! Aoi spends his days tending to his non-human friends, lounging on giant tortoises, talking with magical birds, cultivating his magical prowess, and the gardens, under the guidance of a true immortal master; and drinking coffee! Until it all is ripped away from him. The first installment of this tale focuses on Aoi’s search to find the mysterious Hunter named Hamza. Adventure alongside Aoi as he scours terra incognita, delves dungeons, battles monsters, confronts Hunters –navigating human friendships!–searching for any signs that could lead him back home…back to life that he worries is gone. Collecting grimoires along the way is just an added bonus! In a world where lives can expand millenia, how would you cope with loss? B is Single!

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please…don't do this,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. "But you chased me all the way back!" her lips met his crushing her mouth with a forceful kiss burning her up. She groaned trying to free herself but it was a futile attempt. Dragging her to bed as she tried another futile attempt to escape he stripped her with rough yet controlled hands. "You could've casted me out of there. Gotten married to your ex. You had a better choice given," he kissed her collarbone. " But here you are laying beneath me as it was that night. When you were just a clueless innocent virgin." he grinned sarcastically. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper still trying to move away from his touch. "It useless to defy me. Now this is the only place left for you." And he reclaimed her with burning passion rendering her attempts to refuse him and escape him futile. ----->>>>> Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But worse yet the man who she was supposed to be wedded was replaced by a more ruthless hound. A more agonizing revelation that he was a slave with empty title in name. The white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

Han’s life changes after a mysterious accident leaves parts of his memory shattered. When he wakes up, Choi Seungmin the quiet, controlled heir to a powerful hotel empire is the one standing beside him, claiming they were about to begin a relationship before everything fell apart. With his memories blurred and his past uncertain, Han has little choice but to trust him. But the world Seungmin belongs to is far from ordinary. Behind the luxury of the Choi family’s hotels lies a hidden network of corruption, blackmail, and exploitation carefully buried beneath wealth and influence. Seungmin grew up inside that darkness learning how to survive it, control it, and sometimes even use it to protect the people he cares about. Then Chaewon appears. Once a rising idol whose career was destroyed overnight, Chaewon transfers into Han’s university carrying a reputation filled with rumors and scandal. What no one knows is that Chaewon’s fall was not an accident he was one of the many victims swallowed by the same powerful system Seungmin has been trying to keep under control. Han knows nothing about that world. Seungmin is deeply tied to it. And Chaewon has already been broken by it. Almost everyone around Han is connected to that hidden world in some way whether as participants, witnesses, or survivors. They know the truth that Han does not. Because Seungmin kept Han away from that darkness for as long as he could. But secrets cannot stay buried forever. As the truth behind Seungmin’s family business slowly begins to surface, Han finds himself pulled into a dangerous reality he never knew existed. The deeper he goes, the more he realizes that the person he trusts the most may be hiding the darkest secrets of all. Caught between the man trying to protect him and the one who survived the darkness, Han must decide what he believes and whether love is enough to survive a world built on lies. Because once the truth is revealed, none of them will walk away unchanged.

Every night, the moon watches. But for her, it remembers. When Liora Vale begins to experience strange dreams beneath the glow of the moonlight, she dismisses them as imagination — until the dreams start bleeding into reality. Whispers in the dark, fleeting shadows, and a presence that seems to follow her only when the moon is full. Drawn to a truth she cannot explain, Liora uncovers a hidden world that exists just beyond human sight — a world bound by ancient forces, forgotten promises, and a power tied to the moon itself. At the center of it all is a mysterious figure who knows more about her than she does… and a past she was never meant to remember. As the line between reality and the unknown begins to blur, Liora must decide whether to turn away from the darkness — or step beyond the moonlight and embrace the truth that could change everything. Some secrets are not meant to stay hidden… especially under the moon.

In a world where Pokémon conceal their true power to survive human exploitation, Feng Che is cursed with a forbidden ability — he can hear what Pokémon really think. At Team Rocket’s brutal recruitment camp, while others fight over flashy Charizards and Dragonites, Feng Che selects only the “trash”: crippled Pokémon, cowards, slackers… and liars. Because he knows the truth. The weak Ekans is a genetic predator. The useless Froakie controls the underground economy. The discarded Pokémon are monsters pretending to sleep.

In the ever-unfolding tapestry of life, circumstances occasionally dictate that conflicts arise, even among those bound by the bonds of kinship. In this crucible of adversity, the question looms large: will any among them choose to unite and confront their collective challenges, or will they opt to face their trials individually? Each of these siblings finds themselves confronted with their own arduous battle, each imbued with a distinct purpose. For some, the impetus lies in their eternal quest for change, an undying ambition that propels them forward. Others are driven by an insatiable hunger for power, seeking dominance over their chosen realm. And yet, there are those whose battles are fought for the sake of love; their motivations rooted in the profound connections that define our human existence. As these siblings navigate their respective journeys, their paths intertwine and diverge in equal measure. Some seek to discover their true nature, to uncover the depths of their being. Others strive to prove their mettle, to demonstrate their worthiness in the face of adversity. From these differing perspectives, the potential for unity or division emerges; a choice that can bind them closer than ever or sow the seeds of animosity. Will their battles drive them to turn completely against one another? Time alone will reveal the path they choose on this journey of self-discovery and affirmation.

Nicole Johnson. History teacher. Sharp. Disciplined. Unforgiving. She taught empires how they fell. She taught children how not to repeat them. She believed knowledge was power. She believed effort could change society. She was wrong. — A classroom. A lockdown. A knife. Her throat slit in front of the students she tried to save. Blood on her hands. Screams in her ears. A girl she pushed to “do better” smiling as she bled out. "This school will burn with me." And then— Silence. — February 20th, 1515. She opened her eyes again. Not as Nicole Johnson. But as Morgan Le Fay de’ Queen. Eldest daughter of the Grand Duchy of Queens. Pawn in a political marriage. A kingdom built on stone, fragile trade routes, and rotting alliances. Yorkania. An 16th-century North American throne wrapped in Arthurian bloodlines and colonial ambition. No magic. No divine system. No second chances. Only knowledge. Only politics. Only survival. — They want her married to a piggy king. They want her silent. They want her useful. But she has studied fallen dynasties. She knows what destroys empires. And this one is already cracking. — In her first life, she died powerless. In this one? She will build. She will manipulate. She will outlive them all. Even if the crown must drown in blood. ------------------------------------------ Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce’s Half Sister) and is apart of the I.C.T.M.H.E universe.

After three years of brutal civil war, victory finally arrives — but peace does not. Commander stands at the head of a broken nation, forced to rebuild a country stripped of resources, trust, and stability. While the guns of the civil war fall silent, new threats rise from the shadows: remnants of the old regime, desperate nobles fleeing public vengeance, fragile alliances formed out of necessity, and foreign powers watching for weakness. As military operations continue beyond the borders and political pressure tightens within them, Anderson must lead not only as a commander… but as a ruler burdened by impossible choices. Every decision demands sacrifice. Every victory carries blood. Every alliance hides uncertainty. Through secret operations, desperate campaigns, and the quiet moments between battles, one man struggles to hold together a nation—and himself—while learning the harsh truth of leadership: Sometimes the greatest war begins after the fighting ends.

"I would rather die than birth a monster's child." She spat. This drew out a low derisive chuckle from the tall figure standing in front of her. He grabs her jaw firmly, forcing her to look into his eyes. His other hand secures her wrists tightly above her head. The wall meets her spine because of how pinned she is against it. Lips hovering close to hers, he whispers, "Not only are you going to carry my child and birth it. I am going to keep you buried under me for as long as I wish. Making sure my cock is the only thing that you know and remember. Ruining you for anyone else like I did before. Shattered into a million pieces by her sixth heartbreak, Gweneth gave herself to alcohol and a reckless one night stand with a stranger. The stranger happens to be none other than the cold, charismatic Calyx Lamont—her highschool bully and a spawn of the devil. He is someone that she had given her all to run away from. A man that she had swore to never encounter again. One month later, Gweneth is faced with the dreadful realization of a pregnancy. As well as an ironclad contract from Calyx Lamont to be his contract wife and birth the baby—all against her wishes.

In a world where magic clashes with emerging technology and humans mix with bipedal animals, a bitter feud between a ruthless factory and its exploited workforce ignites. But when a grisly string of murders begins, the conflict spirals into a violent whirlwind where nothing —and no one— will be left unscathed.

“I’ll just be overpowered “ that’s the cockiest statement someone ever made. Ken decided that he would always be the strongest, so even after taking down 29 gunmen alone and getting shot finally, he stood against the gods and forced his transmigration. Out of rage and spite, the gods gave him a basic system, nothing special and even then, in this demon filled extremely hardcore world, Ken said. “I’ll just be overpowered” And somehow that statement is turned to a fact

[MATURE CONTENT] -Excerpt- "Tell me you are mine," she whispered viciously against his ear. "I am yours," he snarled, voice ragged. "Body, soul, will—everything. Fuck, Sheba… I love you. I have loved you since the first time you tried to kill me. I would burn every race to ash for you." Sheba's rhythm flattered for a moment as the raw confession hit her. She sat up, still impaled on him, and looked down at the most feared demon lord in existence, the ruler of the most formidable race—reduced to a sweating, desperate mess beneath her, cock buried deep in her cunt eyes shining and thoughts yelling with genuine emotions. She knew at the moment he struggled to hear her thoughts, the reaping spells already took a toll on him, temporarily taking away his ability to hear her thoughts. "Prove it," she said, voice low and dangerous. "Give me dominion over the Demon Realm. Yield your throne to me. Swear it on your mark that binds us." Lucifer did not hesitate. His hands came up to grip her hips, not to control but to hold her steady as he starred up at her with feverish intensity. "It is yours," he rasped. "The realm, the legions, my power—take it all. I swear it. Rule me, Sheba. Break me. Love me or destroy me. Just never leave me." ————————————- Survival was a deal fulfilled by the fittest. Seeking pleasure or solitude was a choice for the most powerful and the subdued are left for dust, crushed and broken. The five races lived in peace, reserved within their territories. Everything changed when Sheba defiled the order of leadership, seeking hungrily to rule all races; The humans, The witches, The sirens, The demons and The spirits. Her plot was countered however. Her very own sister sealing her away and putting a stop to her unquenchable hunger for power. The witch race was deemed weakest at that point— the enchantress supreme gone, their fate remained unknown. Yet, years of peace were known through out Cullen. Years that came to an end when the hunger for power and dominion seemed irresistible. It is hardly possible for one to be satisfied with only that which is under his control and a human goddess was no different. Moist struck. Harder than Sheba ever did, becoming the very evil she sealed Sheba for coming out as. And so, the battle among races began. Echoes of the shadowed past threatened to silence the present. The whispers of the fallen, rising high, resounding fear and chaos through out Cullen.

A century after monsters poured through the dimensional gates, humanity survived by awakening their Inner Worlds—realms of essence born within the soul. But Drax Magna, a failed awakener scorned by all, possesses none. When a betrayal in a dungeon leaves him for dead, a forbidden power answers his despair. Within his mind blooms the Abyssal World—a realm ruled by a black tree and a crimson moon that watches like an eye. Devouring essence itself, Drax rises from ruin as the thirteenth Monarch—the forgotten sovereign of the Abyss. In a world where strength defines worth, one outcast will rewrite the laws of existence. > “If all creation has a source… then I am its shadow.”

Heroes are born to save the world. Adrian Black was reborn to break it. ​As a struggling writer, Adrian knew the tropes: reincarnation, a system, a second chance. But the Multiverse Evil System isn’t a blessing—it’s a death sentence. Eight previous hosts have already been slaughtered by the protagonists of the worlds they invaded. Adrian is the ninth, and he refuses to be another footnote in a hero’s journey. ​To survive, he must not just act the part; he must become the monster. ​His first destination? The apocalypse-ridden world of Highschool of the Dead. But he isn’t a student fighting for survival. He is Masao Busujima—the legendary Sword Saint, the head of a powerful clan, and the father of the deadly Saeko Busujima. ​With the apocalypse looming and the boundaries of moral decency crumbling, Adrian looks at this new world not with fear, but with hunger. The zombies are mere background noise. The real game is power, control, and the accumulation of Sin Points. ​From the sanctity of his dojo to the chaos of the streets, Adrian will rewrite the script. He will claim the wealth, the status, and the "forbidden flowers" of this world. ​The hero saves the beauty. The villain claims her. .... ..... .....
