In a city where crimes are processed, buried, and forgotten, something watches. Above the streets, unseen eyes record what the system chooses not to acknowledge–violence hidden behind procedure, justice reduced to paperwork, lives erased without consequence. When judgment comes, it is silent, precise, and final. Ten years earlier, before shadows learned his name, Silvestor was just a high school student. For three years, he endured what no report ever recorded. Beaten where no one looked. Exploited where no one questioned. Survival taught him restraint, not resistance. Silence, not rebellion. Even when merit briefly favored him, the world made it clear–background matters more than truth. As Silvestor steps into a future shaped by crime, corruption, and hidden authority, he begins to realize something unsettling: Justice does exist. It simply doesn’t belong to humans. And when the shadows move, the city will learn what it means to be watched. Monday - Friday 1 Ch/Day There won't be chapter release in Saturday and Sunday in this month.

Elena died as an ordinary girl, reborn as a nameless extra in her own novel’s world. Determined to become a villainess feared by all, she instead builds a powerful kingdom where every race can belong — humans, elves, orcs, dwarves, beastfolk, and more. Behind icy mountains and hidden by mystery, her empire grows into a legend. She wanted to rule as a villain. The world crowned her as a queen.

In a world ruled by power, rules decide who deserves to live. Ryder McKalliff was nothing special—a shy construction worker with a minor ability, a loving mother, and a sister he swore to protect. But one mistake was enough to brand his family as criminals. In a single night, the system he trusted executed his mother, murdered his sister, and declared him a fugitive. Hunted by society and abandoned by justice, Ryder awakens a forbidden power—Dark Overlord, an unknown skill that drags him into a ruined world where monsters reign and survival demands blood. There, every kill makes him stronger, every ally bends to his will, and every step pulls him further away from the boy he once was. When he returns, the world hasn’t changed. Only he has. Now living under a false name, Ryder steps into the shadows of underground combat and global tournaments, climbing a hierarchy built on cruelty and spectacle. To tear down the system that took everything from him, he must become something far worse than a victim. Not a hero. Not a savior. But a ruler of darkness. Because in this world— only those who break the rules get to rewrite them.

How hard can that be? ********** Excerpt: "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning.

She was never meant to save him. #DarkRomance #smut #ForbiddenLove #SlowBurnRomance #MorallyGreyML #ImpossibleLove #Angst In a world where humans lived unaware of the supernatural shaping their lives, she walked among them as a living curse. Being an orphan, financially struggling, being bullied at college, and her boss’s constant harassment pushed her to make a rash decision one night. She tried to end her life. Instead of dying, she was condemned to an existence worse than death—immortality. And that choice came back to haunt her! By day, she lived as an ordinary woman. At night, she was forced to witness the deaths of selected humans being killed, while she lingered in ghost form, powerless. She could only give them the final warmth before the soul left their body. Until one night, death went wrong! A feared mafia leader, a billionaire who runs Crown empire, covered in blood, was taking his last breath. His eyes met hers through the veil between life and death. When she asked for his final wish, he gave an answer she had not seen coming. A kiss.... Without thinking too much, she granted him a kiss. A soft, fleeting kiss that was meant to be meaningless. Days later, in a busy cafe bathed in morning light, he entered her life again. Alive! Breathing! Human? Their eyes met briefly, and he looked away as though she were nothing more than a stranger. That same night, the Grim Reaper appeared before her once more. The very being who had cursed her returned with an ultimatum. If she wanted her curse lifted, she had one year to complete an impossible task. The man who had escaped death must fall in love with her—and he must never kiss anyone else! If he kissed another person, the curse would reach them. She would then be bound to make that person fall in love with her as well. And if they kissed someone else, the curse would continue to spread—binding her to an endless chain of impossible loves. If she failed, the man who had survived death would be cursed, too. But his punishment would be far crueller than hers. Instead of witnessing one death each night, they would both be forced to witness countless deaths—night after night. All because of her one decision to end her life... All because of one kiss... She searched for him online, clinging to hope until it withered. The man she was bound to seduce had buried love with his dead girlfriend and numbed the absence by changing women every week, never letting one stay long enough to matter. And now, the question was no longer whether she could save herself. It was whether fate had set her up to destroy them both. *Content Warning This is a dark novel.

**WARNING** CONTAINS SCENES OF EXTREME PHYSICAL VIOLENCE AND SEVERE DISTRESSING PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA● My tears fell in silence, without even daring to sob… until his tall shadow fell across the threshold. He stepped inside. Slowly. Heavily. His eyes… locked onto mine. The same eyes people said carried the scent of blood, burdened with a dark and haunted past. I was afraid of him… everyone was afraid of him. And yet, I was certain that behind that predatory gaze, another truth existed. His fingers, trembling with hesitation, reached for my face. His touch was so gentle that it was hard to believe those same hands had once clenched the cold hilt of a Jiàn (剑), [a double-edged Chinese sword]. He stared into my eyes… but he did not see me. I could sense it. His gaze passed straight through me. With longing, he pulled me against his chest, as though he wished to chain my soul to his own. That was when I heard it; the fierce, thunderous beat of his heart beside my ear. My fear dissolved. I was calm. I clutched at his clothes and found stillness in the chill of his embrace... in the arms of the devil! He carried secrets too heavy for the earth to bury, and perhaps some men are better left forgotten!

He was considered weak. A common Necromancer. Useless. Kang Min-jun had a younger brother to protect, a girlfriend who believed in him… until his class was revealed. Abandoned and underestimated, he found power where no one dared to look: raising skeletons from the dead, commanding them with precision, and growing stronger with every battle. In a world where levels are visible, class tiers decide fate, and watchers lurk in every shadow, Min-jun rises silently—building an army, mastering his abilities, and preparing to claim the attention of those who doubted him. Undead soldiers, strategic battles, and slow-burn growth—this is the story of a necromancer who will not remain common for long.

Knowledge is currency. Alchemy is knowledge. Most of the world doesn’t know alchemy exists. Those who do call it heresy. Those who practice it call it ascension. A man wakes in the lightless depths of Tauran City Prison with no records, no history—only a modern vocabulary that doesn’t belong to him. In a facility built to process human bodies, ignorance is a death sentence. To survive the lower floors, he bonds with a parasitic alchemical metal—an artifact that grows stronger through blood, memory, and use. It is a weapon, a tool, and a cost he does not yet understand. Guided by a man who knows too many and a girl who should not have lived this long, he descends through a system where alchemy is graded, identities fracture, and power is never free. You are not a prisoner. You are a specimen. And ascension has already begun.

Ten years ago, the world as we knew it ended in a single night. The phenomenon known as Planetary Convergence tore through space and time, spewing forth thousands of creatures humans called “Aliens.” From wild monsters towering as high as skyscrapers to intelligent entities capable of erasing an entire city with a single snap of their fingers, they did not come to colonize—they came to replace humanity at the top of the food chain. In desperation, the remnants of humanity retreated and built their final line of defense: a colossal wall that split the continent in two, the only barrier standing between a dying civilization and the endless hell beyond. Behind this wall, humanity tried to rebuild civilization, training the Awakened as living weapons to fight the aliens and prevent extinction. Draven Valois. At the age of ten, he watched his world collapse when an alien killed both of his parents right before his eyes. That tragedy gave birth to an obsession. Draven held one insane dream, deemed impossible by everyone—killing every alien that set foot on Earth and reclaiming their home. However, fate had other plans. Draven was instead forced to live and share his body with The Electric Overlord, one of the most feared Rank S aliens. Now, Draven must live with his greatest enemy flowing through his veins. Can Draven remain human while the monster inside him keeps whispering for destruction? Or will he become a predator far more terrifying than the aliens he seeks to annihilate?
