Power built the Murad empire. Blood secured it. Betrayal nearly destroyed it. Across India, New York, and beyond, Sohan Kadeon Murad reigns as one of the most feared men in the underworld. CEO of eight global empires and supreme leader of the Obsidian Triad, he rules with calculated brutality. His enemies vanish. His name commands silence. Yet even the darkest king had a weakness. His wife, Riyana. And their only daughter— Lilith Mahira Baneva. Born as the final heir. The true owner of everything. When greed consumes Sohan’s own cousins, a carefully orchestrated attack shatters the Murad family. A truck collision meant to eliminate Riyana and six-year-old Lilith leaves Riyana missing and presumed dead. Lilith survives—but her mind does not. Sohan unleashes hell on those responsible, wiping out bloodlines in a storm of vengeance before being imprisoned for ten years. His final command to his eight sons: No war among yourselves. Protect your sister. Keep her away from the darkness. While the brothers rise into powerful men—ruthless, disciplined, and loyal—Lilith grows up in a mental asylum, her brilliant mind trapped in the innocence of a child. Unknown to her brothers, someone close ensures she never heals, poisoning her recovery with damaging medication to keep her fragile… and unfit to rule. At sixteen, she returns home. Beautiful. Quiet. Mischievous. Broken. The empire legally belongs to her—but the world sees only a shattered girl holding pieces of herself together. Then comes the man powerful enough to rival the Murads. The feared leader of The Dominion Apex—half Russian, half American, Indian by blood. A king among kings. Cold. Strategic. Merciless. During a high-stakes alliance meeting, a single moment changes everything. He sees Lilith Mahira Baneva. And instead of weakness, he sees something no one else dares to look for. He takes her. What begins as possession slowly shifts into something far more dangerous—an obsession neither of them expected. In her silence, he finds calm. In his darkness, she finds protection. But beneath the fragile surface of the shattered heiress lies something waiting. Healing. Memory. Power. Will Lilith Mahira Baneva rise to reclaim the empire written in her blood? Will the ruthless king fall for the girl the world underestimated? Or will secrets, betrayal, and war tear apart what remains of the Murad legacy? In a world ruled by monsters, the most dangerous throne belongs to a broken queen.

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.

​Title: Black Heart: The Heir of Moto ​Synopsis: "In a world where Ancient Gods rule from the shadows and Holy Heroes maintain a fragile peace, Leo Takahashi was a discarded pawn—betrayed by his love and offered as a sacrifice to the Divine Mountain. But the Gods made a mistake: they didn't kill him; they unleashed a nightmare. ​Reborn as Ivan, and carrying the soul of the legendary swordsman Jin Moto, he has done the impossible. He devoured the flames of the Phoenix 'Shura', harnessed the 'Black Lightning' of Lucifer, and broke the seal of the forbidden Book of Osiris. ​Now, a mysterious organization known as 'Diablos' has awakened after 5,000 years, hunting for the Seven Heavenly Keys and the head of Medusa to revive their fallen gods. As Ivan enters the prestigious Tankyo Academy in the Union Kingdom, he must hide his true identity while navigating a world of political intrigue, ancient dungeons, and Holy Heroes who sense his terrifying aura. ​With the blood of a Dragon, the heart of a Demon, and the pride of a Moto, Ivan’s path of revenge will turn into a war against the heavens themselves. ​'I don't seek salvation. I seek the throne built on your ruins.'" ​Tags: #Revenge #Overpowered #Magic #Dragons #Academy #ColdMC #AntiHero

This story is kind of based on the Arthurian legend. ******* He was called many things. Bastard, the False King, The Traitor, Treacherous Knight. Sir Mordred was a villain, one who according to the prophecy of the grand wizard Merlin, would destroy the kingdom of King Arthur Pendragon. And he did but at the cost of his life. As he lay dying on the bloody ground of Camlann after the mighty clash between him and Arthur, a bloody tear fell down his face. All he wanted was to be acknowledged by his father but all the things he did eventually led to disaster. Now with death’s cold hands grasping him, he hoped for a short peace before the fiery rings of hell. But that was not the end of his journey. ******* “Hold up.” “What is that infernal noise?” “Oh my goodness! It's driving me crazy! And it's not stopping!” Mordred sprang awake, slamming his fist on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand. 'What in Merlin's Beard is happening!?', he thought when he realized something. Well, a lot of things. First of all. How the heck is he alive? Second. What is a digital alarm? That's when memories that didn't belong to him flooded his head. They felt familiar but everything was wrong. How the heck is Morgan Le Fay his sister? She was his aunt! And how is the wizard Merlin so young! “Oh. I get it now”. He, Sir Mordred has been reborn in the body of a different version of himself, in a modern and futuristic world where he is the youngest son of Arthur Pendragon. But even in this world, He is the hated son of the High King. "Now what?", Mordred realized that the world he is in now is different from his previous one, with the only familiar details being the names of the people he knew. “Oh? Are you still reading?” Mordred smiled, looking at the readers. “Well, how about you join me on this new crazy journey in a crazy new world of heroes, villains, monsters, and even gods?” “Are you ready?” "Let's go!" ********************************************** The story is loosely based on the Arthurian legend. I am only using the popular names but the plot is different. The story is purely fictional with a few things from the actual legend being incorporated along with some stuff from other popular works. The characters may have different personalities from the original ones from the legend. There will also be names that may seem quite familiar as well. The cover image doesn't belong to me.

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst

This is the story of a girl who, despite being dumb her entire life, travelled through her dreams and imaginative world. She is here to deal with her challenges and will find everyone she wanted to be with. She will acquire certain skills and a curse, but she hopes that you will approve of how she plans to exact her vengeance. In this work, human hatred is a major theme. Additionally, it addresses the myths about sinners who practice sacrifice and cannibalism. Although I am a bit stingy about the subject, I did take great care to avoid getting into the gritty, unpleasant details while yet exposing the reality of what occurs in the world today. This is my very first novel, and I was inspired by other authors to write about the cold realities of the world. Therefore, if you choose to read any further, my dear reader, you do so at your own peril. On the other hand, you might discover that you've also found love. All we can do is hope, right?

The world has always appeared peaceful. --- People wake up, go to work, return home, and continue living the same ordinary lives—never questioning what lies beyond what they can see. Kye Kurasaki was no different. He was just another young man trying to live a normal life... until a single incident changed everything. Strange abilities. Unexplained disappearances. People who seemed to know more than they should. The deeper Kye searched for answers, the more he realized that the world he had believed in had never been real to begin with. Hidden experiments... Forgotten truths... And a history that someone desperately wants erased. With every step forward, Kye finds himself pulled into a conflict far beyond his imagination. Along the way, he meets people who become his allies, others who challenge his beliefs, and enemies willing to do anything to protect the secrets buried beneath the surface. But as the truth slowly unfolds, one question refuses to leave his mind... If this world was built upon lies... What exactly is the truth? Sometimes, changing the world doesn't begin with becoming its hero. Sometimes... It begins with exposing the truth everyone chose to bury. "The greatest enemy isn't the one standing before you... it's the truth that has been hidden from you since the beginning."

And someone is preparing for what comes next.

Stranded. Alone. And transmigrated into the world of Pokémon. After a mysterious storm,Umihara Reiji wakes up on a deserted island—not in his own world, but the Pokémon world. No starter, no Poké Balls, no supplies. Just a sea breeze, an empty stomach… and the will to survive. But when he meets a struggling Poliwag, everything changes. With a unique Proficiency System that tracks everything—moves, abilities, even his own fishing and survival skills—every step forward is visible, measurable… and vital. It’s not about becoming a Champion. It’s just about surviving the next day... Notes regarding the worldbuilding: this story leans toward the anime version of the Pokémon world. The protagonist has watched the anime, read the manga, and played the games. He’s a knowledgeable fan. He's an adult, and will think like one—rational, skeptical, analytical. The early chapters of this story are slow-paced and heavily focused on survival—resource gathering, shelter-building, and forging a bond with Poliwag. Raw : "精灵：钓鱼佬的雨天队"
