dark

I thought inheriting the Thorne estate would be a triumph. I thought I could command its halls, its art, its secrets. I was wrong. The house is alive. It watches. It whispers. Every desire I indulge, every temptation I surrender to, comes with a price I can’t yet see. Pleasure bleeds into fear, seduction into horror, and every choice I make threatens to claim more than my body… it wants my soul. In the shadows of this cursed legacy, I must navigate power, temptation, and the darkest corners of myself or risk losing everything I thought I was. One wrong choice, and I’ll be trapped in its shadows forever.

Kai Ren grew up an orphan in the lower districts of Neo Arcadia. He’s calm, analytical, and has a knack for surviving things that should have killed him. At seventeen, he enters the Abyss expecting a week of nightmares. Instead, he uncovers a secret that’s been buried for three hundred years. The Abyss isn’t another dimension. It’s a machine, known as the Architects' Sin, created by a civilization that sacrificed millions of teenagers over centuries to power a barrier against the Unmaking—a cosmic force that erases order from existence. The machine does its job. The barrier stands. But the price has been three hundred years of lost lives. Kai holds the only key to breaking the cycle. To use it, he must make his way through an academy built on lies, face a system designed to keep the truth hidden, and confront a power inside himself that defies any known classification. It’s a remnant of something the Architects created, unseen since their time. He shuts the machine down. The barrier remains, rebuilt and stronger, powered by everything the machine had gathered over the years. But that’s when the real problem starts. The Unmaking isn’t an enemy. It’s a test. For three hundred years, the machine meant to protect humanity was actually stopping them from passing that test. Now the machine is gone. The Unmaking is watching. And Kai Ren — eighteen years old, no Aspect, three hundred years of history in his memory — has to figure out what a civilization worth saving. He has to do it before someone else tries to answer that question with force. question with a weapon.

"They didn't want you to die, they simply wouldn't care if you did." Malik was born for the sea, created on a warship with no land, no past he can fully remember, and a voice in a rusted blade that knows him better than he knows himself. He learned that the sea does not take people. It returns them. He has never known land, yet, even if he reaches land, will it be worth it in the end? Will it ever be enough? Some lives begin with beauty. Others begin with blades, and what the world chooses to discard. As hidden powers observe from beyond the veil and false order tightens its grip, a bayonet will inherit the aftermath of choices he never made. And what comes after may be far worse than collapse. But he’s not the only one watching . . .

Emperor Kassian is not a man; he is a nightmare fueled by fire. Cursed by the "Eternal Ember," his blood boils with a scorching heat that drives him to madness. To keep his sanity, he slaughters. To cool his burning veins, he destroys. For years, the Red Tyrant hasn't slept a single night, his mind teetering on the edge of total collapse. Vera is a street-smart thief who knows only one rule: steal to survive. When she breaks into the Imperial Palace, she expects to leave with a bag full of gold. Instead, she stumbles into the Emperor’s forbidden chamber and finds herself face-to-face with the monster himself. But just as death seems inevitable, a single drop of Vera’s blood falls, and the impossible happens. The scent of her blood doesn't drive him to kill; it calms him. Her touch doesn't burn; it freezes. Due to a mysterious artifact she swallowed as a child, Vera is the only living antidote to Kassian’s curse. For the first time, the Tyrant sleeps—but only if she is in his arms. Now, Vera is no longer a thief but a prisoner in the Emperor’s bed. She is his medicine, his obsession, and his only lifeline. Trapped in a palace full of enemies who want her dead and a monster who craves her very essence, Vera must find a way to escape. But as Kassian’s hunger turns from blood to desire, she realizes that the safest place in the kingdom might be the most dangerous place of all: the Tyrant's embrace.

Warning: This book contains a large number of very hot adult scenes!(18+ ONLY) *PLEASE DON'T READ IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO INTENSE INTIMATE SCENES* "Say you're ours." Nicholas's hand tightened around my throat....not choking, just holding, reminding me who owned every breath I took. His silver eyes burned into mine, relentless and demanding. "Say it, Lilith." "I'm yours," I whispered, and the words tasted like surrender and salvation all at once. "Louder." Sebastian's voice was dark silk behind me, his massive body pressed against my back, his hands bruising my hips. "We want to hear you scream it." Before I could answer, Lucian slammed into me from behind, filling me so completely I saw stars. The stretch, the fullness, the overwhelming sensation of being claimed....it stole every thought from my mind. "I'm....." I tried to speak, but then Nicholas was lifting my leg, positioning himself, and suddenly he was pushing inside me from the front, and I was being taken by both of them at once. Too much. Too full. Too intense. "Breathe," Nicholas commanded against my lips, but breathing was impossible when they were both moving, finding a rhythm that had me trembling violently between them. "I'm yours!" The confession finally tore from my throat as Lucian's mouth found that sensitive spot on my neck, teeth scraping, threatening to mark me permanently. "I'm yours, I'm yours, I'm yours...." "Good girl," all three of them growled in unison. "Now prove it." Lilith Thorne is drowning. Her father.....Beta of Shadowmere Pack....was murdered six months ago.

In the era of the Old World, there walked women who did not merely cast magic, but breathed life into the world. They were the weavers of Black Magic, more commonly known as Witches. For thousands of years, the earth has been barren of them. For a Witch is not born, she is wrought. The scholars of the Old World claimed three conditions unlock this forbidden power: First, there must be the Drowning of the Heart. The woman must be pushed past the breaking point of human sorrow. Grief must become the water that drowns her humanity. Second, there must be the Sharpening of the Will. Hate must become the steel of her spine. She must choose not to weep, but to burn. Third, and most rare, there must be the Anchor of the Beast. A Witch without a tether is but a storm that consumes itself. She requires a devotion that rivals her own: a dragon who would trade his divinity to stand in the shadow of her thorns. When these three tides collide, the Mage dies, and the Witch awakens. It is said that when the Witch returns, the mountains will breathe again. The dead woods will scream, and the kingdoms of men will be reclaimed by a garden that never sleeps.

I've spent four years as a monster broker in the largest underground market in the world. Buy low, sell high, never ask what happens after the transaction. Simple rules. Clean money. Then my ability flagged a cage in the back of Hunter Alley as an error. Classification failure. First time in four years that had ever happened. I looked inside. There was a girl. Sixteen years old. Rope marks on her wrists. She looked at me and said one word. Please. That was three weeks ago. Since then I've learned that she isn't the only one. That someone has been running a procedure for five years that turns ordinary people into products the monster market will accept without question. That seventeen people have gone through it. That six of them didn't come out the other side. I've also learned that the man behind it has a sponsor nobody can identify. That a noble house is using the results for military research. That the Church is running a secret facility and attending every auction where a human specimen is registered. And that the leader of the most powerful criminal organization in the known world has put my name on a list. I'm nineteen. I have no money, no weapons, and no plan that doesn't have at least three ways to go catastrophically wrong. But the girl in that cage said please. And I've never been able to leave a mystery alone. The system sells people. I'm going to find out who built it.

Ivan Bastian touched a forbidden book and donned a suit that was never meant for him. He awoke beneath a crimson moon, in the face of a man he did not know, and in the body of a brother to two mysterious girls. Now, he is trapped in a world where identity is the only puzzle, and the suit is the key that may open the door to salvation… or to doom. Under the crimson moon, who are you truly?

Outside of the hut, the sound of rain was gently drumming, insects were chirping, somewhere near frogs were humming. Yet, under it all, there was a voice singing. Not in words, but in resonance with the life of the rainy night. The blue glow in Seven’s veins pulsed in and out with the melody. “Can you hear it? Mana calling out to you? I’ve never felt such joy and sadness mixed like this before. Its as if two lovers found each other after years of being apart, yet not being able to see who they loved in the other anymore . Tragic isn't it?” The winged child sat upon the windows sill, looking out into the rainy night. “I- I honestly don’t understand any of this. Before all of this, I was completing a mission. Gunfire, blood, death. All of that, seems so filthy now. I feel filthy…” Seven sat up, his mind wandering to the past, and comparing it to the present. “It’s not filthy, it’s just a different perspective. A different face on the same coin. Both worlds are yours. Both define you, neither are wrong.” The child looked at Seven, her eyes the same bright glowing blue as the pulse in Seven’s veins. Her hair was jet black with soft blue highlights lightly strewn in individual strands amongst the sea of black, like the night sky. ****This will only be up for a limited time. I'm building a reader/fan base to see how this will actually do.****

Sunless once wondered why the stars shone so brightly, despite being far out of reach. There was a scientific explanation out there, but he didn’t care about that. If the world wanted to spite him, he’d spite the world back. Sunny will reach for the stars, grasp them, and crush them, drowning the universe with a lightless sky. *** Cover by Kyta on Discord.

Shu finished the final chapter of a hated apocalypse novel, only to wake up inside it hours later. In Zoxhia, dungeons open without warning, monsters flood the streets, and even the strongest heroes die miserable deaths. The only reason Shu has not joined them yet is a cheat no one else has ever seen: a Domain that can grow into an absolute safe zone. Armed with incomplete knowledge of the story, a dangerous system, and a world already heading for ruin, Shu has to survive, grow stronger, and change an ending where the demons win and everyone dies.

A socially depressed game developer dies unexpectedly and reincarnates inside his own unfinished game. Sword Evolution Online. With the entire original plot etched into his memory, he initially believes he has obtained the ultimate cheat. Knowledge of the future. Knowledge of every event. Knowledge of every hidden treasure. But reality shatters that illusion. The world is no longer called Gloria. It is now known as Avalon. The timeline has shifted. The apocalypse has already occurred. Civilization has entered a new era shaped by ruin, evolution, and bloodshed. Familiar characters behave differently. Major events no longer follow the script he created. The story he once controlled has completely gone off the rails. Just when Adonis believes all hope is lost, he awakens a forbidden existence. A taboo sword. The Chaotic Harem Sword. A weapon that defies logic, morality, and balance itself. A sword that grows stronger not through slaughter alone, but through bonds. By building a harem. Each new connection grants him power. Each conquered heart strengthens both blade and wielder. What should have been a joke mechanic in a half-finished game becomes the most terrifying cheat in this broken world. With absolute strength and true freedom as his goal, Adonis steps onto the stage of Avalon, determined to rewrite fate itself. To rise above gods, empires, and destiny. And to build a harem of otherworldly beauties along the way. Additional tags: No yuri, No ntr, No incest.

Sebastian never truly lived. Confined to a hospital bed since childhood, his body too weak to walk, life passed him by while others experienced it freely. The only places he could truly go were the worlds inside stories, comics and manga, fantasy books, games, and legends he consumed endlessly. He memorized them, imagined himself inside them, dreaming of adventures he could never have. Then death came quietly. But instead of darkness, Sebastian opened his eyes before a Goddess who offered him a single wish. Any wish. And Sebastian only asked for one thing. To simply live once more, The goddess was intrigued by the humility of his request. Yet she revealed a truth most souls never hear: returning to the world he came from was never truly an option. Even if someone wished for it, there was no guarantee they would return to their own reality. Sebastian accepted anyway. Now reborn on The Continent, a brutal world of monsters, politics, endless war and evils, both lesser and greater. As the son of a noble family within the powerful Nilfgaardian Empire. Yet fate had no intention of giving him an easy life again. A violent incident shatters his new beginning and sends the young noble far from the courts of Nilfgaard to the ancient fortress of the Witchers of the school of the wolf: Kaer Morhen. It is there where he gets subjected to the trial of grasses as a desperate attempt to save his life, and It’s there where Sebastian’s memories of his previous life finally return. For the first time, he understands something clearly. His wish came through and he is truly alive and the world he dreamed of through stories is far crueler when lived in reality. As he grows under the shadow of witchers, Sebastian awakens A mysterious system… And the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, granting him Intangibility and dominion over fire. Will he follow the cold pragmatism of witchers? Or carve his own path in a world where destiny, prophecy, and chaos shape the fate of the world. Progress will be slow, the story will take its time at the beginning a world like this, full of politics, monsters, and people can’t be rushed. Expect a slower pace at first, as Sebastian builds himself and the relationships in Kaer Morhen. Every interaction matters.
