Growing up, Jurgen carried an unyielding hatred that he could not understand or explain. It stayed with him through his early years as a constant pressure, manifesting as a persistent need to punish something or someone, though nothing ever seemed sufficient to match what he felt. Over time, this unresolved weight pushed him to blame the world itself, especially as he moved through repeated hardships that forced him to grow stronger both in ability and in his desire for power. Alongside this, Jurgen lived with an illness that affected his health and continuously interfered with his journey, adding another layer of strain to his existence and shaping the way he moved through the world. As he matured, Jurgen drifted away from any sense of conventional morality and eventually became a rogue criminal. He was cold, calculated, and highly manipulative, acting without hesitation when it benefited him directly. Whether through deception or killing, he did not restrain himself. He was never the type to act as a hero or place himself in sacrifice for others; in situations of survival, he would always choose himself without hesitation, even if it meant cutting off any path that allowed others to advance. In time, Jurgen would grow greatly in the power he had been pursuing and uncover the true source of his hatred as well as his history. However, understanding it did not alter his direction. Instead, he chose to continue forward on the same path, no longer driven by ignorance but by conscious intent. From that point onward, he evolved beyond a mere criminal into something far more absolute, becoming a tyrannical existence shaped by awareness, conviction, and the refusal to turn back…

In "Contract of Lies," Twenty-one-year-old Desiree Götz leads a double life, alternating between her role as a dedicated kindergarten teacher in bustling Vietnam and her secret identity as an anonymous author, pouring her heart into her hidden passion for writing. With a past shrouded in secrecy and pain, Desiree has carefully constructed a new life for herself, using fake papers to start afresh and evade the shadows that haunt her. Everything changes when she encounters Aizen Nara, a mysterious and enigmatic figure with ties to the criminal underworld. Despite their shared history as childhood friends, Aizen becomes fixated on Desiree by chance, determined to make her his own. Exploiting her vulnerability, Aizen discovers Desiree's false credentials and blackmails her into a marriage of convenience, wielding the threat of exposure as his leverage. Forced into a precarious arrangement with Aizen, Desiree must confront her deepest fears and darkest secrets as she navigates the treacherous waters of their relationship. As their bond deepens and Desiree uncovers Aizen's own hidden vulnerabilities, she grapples with conflicting emotions and the impossible choice between her heart's desires and the harsh realities of her circumstances. Caught in a web of lies and manipulation, Desiree must summon all her strength and courage to reclaim her identity and break free from Aizen's hold. In a world where trust is a luxury and betrayal lurks around every corner, she must find the strength to forge her own path forward and discover the truth that lies within herself. "Contract of Lies" is a gripping tale of love, sacrifice, and redemption, where the line between right and wrong blurs, and the truest bonds are forged in the crucible of adversity.

There is a great mystery surrounding the Towers. Nobody can provide a unique answer as to why they appeared. There'd always been mystical things in the world, but never a wish-fulfilling hub of challenges, which lures in greedy men and women to their potential demises. Worthy, a 12-year-old child from Malas Town, a run-down, forsaken slum far beyond the walls of the "Kingdom" decides to test his luck by climbing Aciago Tower—presumed to be the most challenging Tower in the world. No one has made it more than halfway through, and countless people find themselves trapped within. The temptation to climb is irresistible to those who have nothing to lose. Those who reach the top floor will have their wish granted, and those who fail will perish. For the sake of his family, Worthy is willing to push aside everything and ride whoever's coattail he needs to reach the peak of Aciago Tower. Yet, he may have a more damning time than he might've anticipated. The Tower is full of more mysteries and horrors than the outside world can possibly imagine, and he finds himself at the center of it all. Equipped with abilities bestowed by the Tower, his dreams to reach the top seem so close, but at the same time, so impossibly far away.

#Smut  “You want a gun?” he asked, as if I hadn’t already made that clear. “Yes.” “…Then kiss me.” My eyes widened, but he only leaned back slightly, watching me with dark amusement waiting for me to refuse. Instead, I leaned forward and pressed my lips against his. I meant for it to be quick. But the second our mouths touched, his hand wrapped around the back of my neck and he kissed me rough enough to bruise. That was when he bit me. Sharp enough to draw blood. His eyes darkened at the sight of it. Then his thumb brushed over the blood he’d drawn before he murmured against my mouth, “Good girl.” ******** Carmen Castilo was born mafia royalty until the night her father was murdered in front of her.

Long ago, the Mad Doctor outdid himself by creating AFO clones. As a result, Taiko finds himself drawn into the game, while behind him stand the figures of Director Nezu, Rikiya Yotsubashi, Kyudai Garaki, and Madam President, weaving their own webs. Each with their own interests. But Kyudai Garaki always had a backup plan. Taiko believed the Ant Arena had left him the last survivor—the only one who had managed to escape his reputation as a Grimm killer and find the light thanks to Kuinn.

[The World Has New Rules. Disobey, and You Become the Prey.] In this new era, morality is dead, and "Fate Exchange" is the only law. ① Every cruelty is returned tenfold. ② No one is a judge; everyone is evidence. ③ The Beast God is watching. When the Beast God descends, the global hierarchy shatters. Every act of cruelty toward the voiceless is returned tenfold through a divine “Fate Exchange.” A lab technician becomes the rat under his own scalpel; a poacher is hunted in the skin of his prey. Amidst this global purgatory, a young woman finds herself tethered by a blood-red thread to the very monster she fears most. Is it a path to redemption, or a descent into a deeper abyss? The judgment has begun. Are you worthy of being human? “If it was your choice… I will accept it.”

Damn it! I reincarnated as an extra in a novel I was reading: Heavenly Milfs. Kaiser D. Paragon was just an extra, a character who died before the story even began. What future could the little brother of a third-rate antagonist, humiliated by the protagonist on the first few pages, possibly have? To save his life, he caused the premature death of his brother. Now, he had to take responsibility for leading an entire criminal organization. Fortunately, a system appeared: as long as others believed he possessed a power, he could usurp its abilities. That's how Kaiser created multiple identities: Kaiser D. Paragon, the virtuous noble. Nostradamus, the prophet. Klein Konstantine, the Mystical Exorcist ... Then he realized that the protagonist's sister was actually in love with one of his identities!? A major antagonist had massacred the entire capital to avenge him? "And why were all these MILFs yanderes?" Kaiser had only taken the path of the usurper... the Antichrist. *** Additional Tags: Evil MC, Action, Gore, Romance, Fantasy, Academy, Smut, Harem, Ecchi, Adventure, MILFs, Cold MC, Yandere, Dark Ideology, Constellation, Multiple identity, enemies become lovers, Politics, Lemons, Manipulation, Toxic Love, Angels, Demons, Gods, Goddesses, Netori, Beautiful Females Lead, Overpowered MC.

In a world where a single year lasts a thousand days—and each day stretches across thirty-eight hours—something about reality has always been… wrong. Dark never questioned it. An orphan with a quiet love for books, he expects nothing more than a normal life as he begins high school. Until the day reality cracks. Beneath a solitary tree, he meets a woman who should not know him—yet does. She claims to be his new literature teacher. From that moment on, the world begins to unravel. Whispers appear where silence should exist. People move like they’re being guided. And something unseen begins pulling the strings. What starts as curiosity turns into a descent. Together with his friends, Dark steps into a hidden conflict shaped by control, manipulation… and forces that do not belong to this world. But the deeper he looks, the clearer one thing becomes: This isn’t happening around him. It’s happening because of him. As fragments of the past resurface, Dark is dragged toward a truth that was never meant to be uncovered—one that speaks not of heroes… …but of something that should have never existed. Because in a world controlled by unseen hands, Dark is not the one searching for answers. He is the fracture in reality itself.

"Are you tired of repetitive cultivation stories and cliché harems? I wrote 'Where is Manar?' to break those cycles. This isn't your typical story—there is NO 'System' here. NO 'Golden Finger' to hand the protagonist an easy victory. No brainless tropes. What you will find is a brand-new magic system, a dark cosmic horror world, and a protagonist who must survive through wit and grit alone. If you crave originality and a real challenge, step into the Nightmare War." **Where is Manar? | Book One: The Twin Star** Sami is a barber from Basra, Iraq. His biggest problems are his terrifying mother, an uncatchable gecko named Lonely, and his two-year-old sister Manar — the smallest dictator in the Middle East. Then a man in a white tuxedo walks into his salon, asks for water, and disappears without a trace. The next morning, Sami can't remember his face. Meanwhile, his brother Maytham is deep in ancient Babylon, trapped between werewolves, cursed artifacts, and a woman made of darkness who finds humans entertaining — in the worst possible way. Neither brother knows that an eclipse has already tied their fates together. Or that something older than Babylon itself has been watching them both. **Where is Manar?** is a dark comedy meets cosmic horror story set in modern Iraq — where family loyalty runs deeper than blood, the supernatural is terrifyingly real, and the most dangerous creature in any room is still a two-year-old who calls her bike a "chicken." *Warning: Contains Iraqi humor, philosophical frogs, a gecko with a sixteen-chapter winning streak, and at least one werewolf with anger management issues.* ---

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

Dublin, 2130. 18-year-old James Ganner has nothing—no money, no future, no escape from the slums that killed his father and broke his mother. Then the System activates. [You have been selected. Choose your designation: Challenger or Civilian. Selection is permanent.] James chooses Challenger. He enters the 72-hour Tutorial where 80% die. Against all odds, he survives and receives the rarest class in existence: Necromancer. But survival was just the beginning. [FLOOR 1] [Mission Type: Kill 15 Hobgoblins] [Failure Condition: Death] James raised his hand, black energy coiling around his fingers. [Skill Activated: Soul Drain ] The dying hobgoblin convulsed as dark tendrils ripped the life from its body, feeding his mana pool. [You have killed Hobgoblin Warrior] [Progress: 1/15] The tower doesn’t care about heroes or villains. 300 floors. No backtracking. No second chances. Death is permanent. Every floor demands blood, and James’s necromancy feeds on corpses—the more he kills, the stronger he becomes. His goals are simple: escape poverty, punish the uncles who stole his inheritance, clear the tower, and uncover the truth behind why the towers appeared. In a world where only the ruthless survive, can a slum kid with nothing but cold determination and an army of the dead climb higher than anyone before him? The tower rewards only one thing: those who refuse to stay down.

Erwin Lenox won the match. Half a million dollars. A flawless victory. The next day, he died. He awakens in Kuria, the world of the JRPG War of the Arcane World, inside the body of Lusian Douglas of Mondring—the villain the heroes must execute to fulfill divine will. But something doesn’t add up. His existence is nowhere to be found in the Book of Destiny. He isn’t a piece on the board. He’s an anomaly. As the gods watch, the continent stirs, and the heroes march toward a prewritten ending, Lusian begins to tamper with what no one should ever touch: the very structure of the world itself. Because breaking fate doesn’t mean you’re free. It means becoming the error the world will try to erase.

Fall in love, get married, maybe have a couple of kids, and complain about life like a normal person. Reality disagreed. At twenty-five, he had confessed to one hundred girls and been rejected by every single one. “Sorry, you’re a good guy, but…” “You’re more like a brother to me…” “I think you deserve someone better.” He had heard every variation. Every excuse. Every polite rejection that stabbed just as sharply as a blunt knife. By the end of it, Lin Feng no longer feared failure. He expected it. After a night of drowning his sorrows, he woke up in a cultivation world. And somehow… he became a teacher again. “Mentor Lin Feng, could you guide me?” Lin Feng stood frozen. Because surrounding him were not ordinary women, but goddesses, fairies, and proud maidens whose beauty could topple kingdoms. He looked up at the heavens, his expression complicated. “…Are you messing with me?” He clenched his fist. “No. I didn’t come here for romance.” “I just want to teach.” The heavens, however… Had other plans.

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

They summoned him to be a hero. Instead, they threw him into the Abyss to die. But death never came. In the endless dark, he met something worse than gods— Nebel. A cosmic void that needed a mind. Together, they became Yamato—a being with no master, no mercy, and no equal. Now, while the world praises false heroes… he builds an army from the shadows of the Deep, crafting weapons no system can read and rewriting reality itself with nanobots made from ruin. He doesn't crave revenge. He doesn't seek justice. He plans. And when the Void strikes… it won't stop. Author’s Note: This novel is rated 17+ for dark themes, psychological intensity, and complex worldbuilding. Contains betrayal, cosmic horror, and morally ambiguous characters.

Robert Sylvester Kelly. 17 years old. Chicago. Unknown. Broke. Hungry. Talented. — But the soul inside him was not his. — The man who woke up in that body was normal. No killer. No monster. No villain hiding behind a smile. Just a regular man who died before his life ever became anything worth remembering. — And then— He opened his eyes as a name history already hated. — A voice that could shake churches. A body still young enough to change. A future full of fame, money, women, music, scandal, rot, and prison. A legacy already waiting to become poison. — But this Robert is different. He knows what the name becomes. He knows what the world remembers. He knows talent is not enough to save a man from himself. — So he has one choice. Become the legend without becoming the stain. Rewrite the songs. Rewrite the fame. Rewrite the man. — Because history already created R. Kelly. Now someone else has to survive being him. ------------------------------------------ Author Note: This is a spin-off of my other story (I Became Beyonce's Half Sister) and is a part of the I.C.T.M.H.I universe.

Tonight, Raphael enters the hunt. The System never forgives failure. Kill, or be killed. Every hunt makes him stronger. Every hunt makes him less human. On the first day, he hunts Demons, drawing their power through contracts and making it his own. On the second day, he hunts Witches, forging bonds to synchronize their minds and wield their magic. On the third day, he hunts sinners, claiming bounties paid in blood, even if it means bearing their sins. Now, this city is Raphael’s hunting ground. Blood stains his hands. Sin corrodes his soul. To hunt monsters, he will become one first.
