He wasn’t reincarnated. He was brought back. Without emotions. Without a past. With only fragments of a mind… and a twisted will to survive. His body is just a shell. His true nature is a formless doppelganger. To exist, he will take what isn’t his. Bodies. Souls. Essences. The system doesn’t grant power. It sells it — for lives, for materials, for mistakes that can’t be undone. One world replaces another. Each with its own rules. Its own monsters. Its own gods. And every time, he becomes someone else. Until one day, he realizes: he is no longer returning to himself. Because there is no one left to return to.

In the City of Amnesia, survival has a price — and it costs everything you are. Kobe is a Scavenger. A shadow at the bottom of the world, invisible to everyone who matters. But when his mother sacrifices her memories of him to pull him back from the edge of starvation, she doesn’t just forget his name. She becomes a Shell. A hollowed-out vessel. Empty eyes. A stranger wearing his mother’s face. Consumed by rage, Kobi descends into the forbidden ruins — the one place the city’s rulers have declared off-limits. What he finds there isn't salvage. It's proof that the city's rulers have been lying. That the memory trade isn't just theft it's fuel. And the entire city runs on stolen souls. But the City of Amnesia doesn’t give you truth for free. Every answer costs a piece of who you are. Every secret carves out a little more of the self you’re trying to save. How much of himself can Kobe lose — before he becomes the very thing he’s fighting to destroy? ……………..

[Warning: R18+ Content] I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered. One night. One drink. One sin I could never take back. But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers. They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive. Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows. Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue. And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive. They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire. I’m their ruin. Excerpt ********** “Run if you want, Jade.” The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding. “You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core. Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.” Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?” Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting. Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.” Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.” Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.” My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize. Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth. I wanted them… All of them. ********** Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.

Fighting a war that he didn't want, Dante is faced with the hard truth that humans won't stop until his race is extinct. Giving him no choice but to become what he never wanted to... a natural born killer. At least that is what might be the case for normal people but this is different. His bloodline is special, giving him no choice but to embark on a path of conquest to give his kind a chance to come back one day. "As the last vampire, I'll become a god."

[FREE] / [MATURE CONTENT!!!] Lauren Voss is the devil in a designer suit. Mercy is a word she carved out of her vocabulary years ago. She kills without blinking. She fucks without feeling. And she never, ever wants anything the way she wants Ryan. Ryan is still the trembling 18-year-old mess: soft curls, wet lashes, voice that cracks when he begs. He draws fragile little sketches of birds and broken boys to survive the nights his father beats him bloody. A bullied artist who flinches at loud noises and apologizes for breathing. She wants to do to him: pin him down, bruise those soft hips, make him sob her name until he forgets his own. But when he looks up at her with those huge, terrified eyes and whispers “Please don’t hurt him anymore… I’ll do anything,” her hand freezes on his thigh. His smile small, watery, grateful hits her like holy water on a demon. For the first time in her life, the devil inside her hesitates. To the world she remains ice-cold death. But behind closed doors, the real Lauren is starving. She wants to devour him. She dreams of pinning that soft body down, bruising his hips, making him scream and cry and beg while she ruins every innocent inch of him. The hunger is violent. The hunger is constant. His softness is the only leash strong enough to hold back her darkness. >>>>>>> Through blood, bullets, and broken promises, Lauren will burn the entire city before she lets anyone take Ryan from her. But the real question is: Will the devil finally snap and devour the only light she’s ever craved… or will that soft, trembling smile keep her chained forever? >>>>>>>> Note: The cover art for this novel is my original work.

"The entire school was enveloped by an invisible force—even the birds in the trees stopped chirping—as the bustling academy fell into an instant, deathly silence, leaving only Alex and Mira standing atop the rooftop." "When the entire length was buried inside her, Akane arched her neck, her eyelashes trembling as she whispered in a mix of terror and mindless satisfaction, 'It’s... it’s all the way in...'" After saving the tragic heroine Daisy (Saki Yoshida) from a group of malicious predators, Alex uses his "Time Manipulation" to freeze the entire academy and systematically brands every female student and teacher with his "Lust Crest." By crushing the desperate resistance of various "cuckolded" male rivals and seizing a supernatural hypnosis notebook for himself, Alex transforms the corrupt institution into his personal harem, establishing himself as the absolute, demonic ruler of the school. Who could have imagined that the boy once dismissed as a mere student would possess the terrifying power to bring an entire world to its knees in the blink of a frozen second? ---------- Support me and want to read more chapters: patreon.com/Briery When your weekly power status reaches 100 power stones, a new chapter will be updated.

Laras never realized that she had been making passionate love with a demon disguised as her husband. Eventually, she became pregnant.

Twelve years ago, Jeremy Creek was the boy who vanished—a victim of the 1989 meteor shower, strung up in a cornfield as a "scarecrow" and transformed by the glowing green debris. In 2001, he woke up. But he didn’t return as a normal teenager; he returned as a biological anomaly with memory about parts of the story that he woke up in. He could recognize some famous characters from the DC universe, but did not know the future of the story because he was not a fan previously. Unlike those around him, Jeremy possesses a unique "Vessel" physiology. Jeremey has a terrifying, latent ability to manipulate the fundamental forces of the universe. He is capable of siphoning the volatile abilities of other "meteor freaks" into his own nervous system. To survive the overload, he utilizes high-purity Emerald Shards—refined meteor rocks that act as capacitors, organizing his stolen powers into a growing library of superhuman potential. As he navigates a world of modern technology and high school social strata, Jeremy has strategically positioned himself as a tragic hero. By manipulating Chloe Sullivan into believing he is "curing" the town's dangerous residents, he has gained a loyal accomplice who helps him track his next "donors." While Lex Luthor watches from the shadows and Clark Kent senses a growing, sickly resonance he can't explain, Jeremy is no longer just a survivor of the past. He is the architect of a new, synthesized future—one stolen power at a time. // Author Note: THIS IS WRITTEN WITH THE HELP OF AI. IF YOU DON'T LIKE AI, DON'T READ THIS STORY!

Three days before he died, my brother told me he had found a door that shouldn’t exist. Now I’ve found it too. And it’s open. I am a detective — or at least I was supposed to be one of the good ones. A criminology graduate with a psychology background, solving cases was meant to be simple. Interrogate. Observe. Conclude. Move on. But this case… doesn’t move on. Black Ford Street became my first real murder investigation. A family slaughtered inside a sealed building. Gunshots. Stab wounds. A survivor who shouldn’t have survived — and a truth he never lived long enough to speak. Then there was her. A woman who said nothing… even when silence should have broken her. No fear. No panic. No guilt. Just silence that felt wrong. The more I watched her, the more the case changed. What started as a simple murder investigation turned into surveillance, obsession, and something far more dangerous than evidence — people watching me back. And somewhere inside it all… a name kept appearing. Baba Yaga. A killer who doesn’t just erase lives — but rewrites them. But the deeper I go, the less certain I become of everything: the suspect… the survivor… even myself. Because in this world, silence is never empty. It hides something. And whatever is behind that door… was never meant to be found.
