dark

Kim Hwa-ho, one of South Korea’s most ruthless arms dealers—known as the “Angry Tiger,” marked by a six-headed snake tattoo and a blood-soaked past—decides to walk away from the world of crime. He sees love as a chance for a new beginning. But the past does not let go so easily. Celebrations turn to blood, secrets surface one after another, and betrayal strikes from those closest to him. Now Kim is no longer just a former criminal; he becomes a shadow that survives only through vengeance. Past and love, blood and betrayal, drag him back into the darkness once more… I am publishing this story on Royal Road. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/1052181

I died once reaching for a woman whose face I can no longer remember. Reborn into the Vorn Dynasty—a brutal family that rules over thirteen worlds along with other territories—I was supposed to be a genius. Instead, I was declared broken. My soul is fractured, my memories are gone, and my own siblings view me as nothing more than a lamb for the slaughter. But the cracks in my soul aren't empty. They're filled with something ancient. A piece of my past. [SYSTEM INITIALIZATION...] [SOUL INTEGRITY: 47%] [THE DARKNESS CALLS] With the power to crush my enemies with gravity, fry their nerves with lightning and the darkness at my call, I will carve a path through the blood of my rivals. I will unearth the mystery of my past death, reclaim the woman haunting my dreams, and tear down the empires that dare to stand in my way. But power isn't the only thing I crave. In a universe where betrayal is the only constant, I find solace in the arms of those brave enough to love a monster. I will collect their hearts, their bodies, and their absolute devotion. This isn't a story about a hero. This is a story about a monster who chose to be one—and the people who love him anyway. The question isn't whether he'll find her. The question is what's left of him when he does. He doesn't save people. He claims them. And somehow, that's worse. This novel contains explicit sexual content, a demanding harem, dark themes, and a cunning protagonist who plays the villain as easily as he plays the lover. You have been warned.

*Synopsis* *He died on Earth. He woke up in hell.* The screech of tires. The crunch of metal. Arin was twenty-seven when a car ended him, fingers locked around the ruby necklace his mother gave him before her last breath. He woke to dust choking his lungs. To the stench of rot and mildew. To a ravaged room and a body that wasn’t his. A starving orphan. Same name. Different world. This is *Pangu*. 600 years ago the sky tore open with a sound like the world was ending. An eye stared down. A Grand Calamity followed. The air turned heavy. The ground ran red. Animals evolved into horrors. Abominatios that shouldn’t exist. Things that could split mountains with a roar and flatten cities with a step. They nearly wiped out humanity. Now, survivors cower behind cold stone walls on 7 continents. Beyond those walls? Only death. The wind carries the smell of blood. Orphans couldn’t afford the Academy. They shiver in the Village Square, feet numb on cracked stone, listening to a hoarse teacher drill one lesson and history into them: _Outside the walls, you die. Inside, if you’re weak, you’re forgotten._ Arin has nobody. No trait. No future. Just stolen memories of a world ten times bigger than Earth. And a broken necklace that pulses warm against his chest. Like it’s alive. The necklace was supposed to be a keepsake. But in Pangu, even broken things have teeth. This is Pangu. Adapt, or be devoured. Arin is alone. But with the artifact his mother left him, he will carve his future in blood. In a world where only beasts rule... He will become the monster they fear.

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”

“If only I had known of the dark days ahead, I would have said no.” Three hundred years ago, the sun was devoured by the Silver Moon, an unknown celestial being that descended from the endless dark of the stars. It claimed the sky for itself and unleashed a ceaseless horde of monsters on mankind, the Qilesh. For centuries, the Empire stood against this horror, fighting in the name of their lost god, Harras. Every child of the Empire has to do their part to free the sun from the Silver Moon's grasp. Liron wants to do so, too, but his black hair marks him as an outcast, a bad omen that will bring nothing but doom. After giving up on his dreams, he is chosen to become a Knight Dracon, dragon riders who have battled the Qilesh since the sun was stolen from mankind. But fate was never kind to Liron. Through a shared vision of the future, Liron is shown murdering the Emperor, with the Empire and their world in ruin. In his final moments, the Emperor declares Liron to be a traitor and orders his execution. Hunted by the heroes he once admired, Liron is forced to flee. His only refuge lies with the Resistance, a group of rebels determined to destroy the Empire. As he struggles to survive and grow stronger, Liron begins to unravel the many secrets behind the Empire, the war against the Qilesh, and the true nature of the Silver Moon. The same secrets that drove his future self to end it all.

Each arc won't just solely focus on the MC POV, but characters around their immediate orbit or are extremely important to the plot, but if it ever switches away from the MC to another character, it will be for a brief time. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Will have character portraits created over time, but that is a lot of money and will take time. In the meantime, they will be left blank.

Synopsis. Two Lycan Princes. One dragon Princess. One brother holds her like she's breakable. The other fucks her like she is not. They have the same face. And She has no idea which one she's falling for. ** We heard it. A knock on the door. "Tilly Ann!" Fuck, it was my brother Kessington. "Tilly Ann!" My eyes darted to the man in between my legs, his eyes dancing with mischief. Oh no! Don't you dare play another game right now, Chase Dubois! "Tilly Ann! I heard screams. Are you alright? I'm coming inside." Chase smiled and licked my pussy. "A threesome. I have never fucked a brother and a sister at the same time before…" I covered his mouth with my palm and when he fought me, I tightened my thighs around his neck and squeezed. "I'm so fucking turned on right now..." I tightened my hold, choking him to silence as Kessington started to push the door open. "Tilly?" "Fuck off, Kessington. It's just a bug and I'm not decent!" I yelled at the door. A pause. Long enough that my heart stopped. Then: "You'd better not be doing what I think you're doing in there, Tilly Ann. Mama will kill you. And then me, for not stopping it." "I'm NOT!" I shrieked. I had no patience to decipher what exactly I wasn't supposed to be doing "Go away!" I heard retreating footsteps and once again I was left with the man between my legs. I released him. He looked at me, grinning despite the red marks on his neck. "Have you considered being tied up during our session, darling? Choke me again and I will tie you up." I leaned in. Like I was going to whisper something sweet, and when he was hooked, I whispered. "Get out" Every part of me protested. He rested his forehead against my trembling thigh for a moment, his breathing ragged. And out of control. "Sweetheart. You are killing me." He stood regardless, pulling me gently against himself. Stroking my back. "Okay. Until next time, Winchester," he whispered, his voice rough with want He kissed my temple. Then he leaned in to whisper "Next time, I will use my cock. You are going to love it, won't you, Tilly Ann?" I leaned in, a little smile playing on my lips to whisper. "Get out… Chase Dubois. There's no next time. I don't want your cock or you" He smiled back, walking towards the door. "You will, Winchester." He opened the door. "You will." --- This is a steamy, twist-filled romantasy for readers who love enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, and falling for the wrong twin.

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.

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! Note: The novel is a gritty version of the typical hunter/awakener novels with a beast twist, which I hope you will enjoy Discord Server: https://discord.gg/c34nURr72W P.S.
