The 18-year-old Yamato suddenly found himself in the after life, but is unsure on how exactly he ended up there. However his reaction lacked the surprise or confusion one would usually expect form someone in his situation, as he would soon prove to be anything but ordinary. Having always failed finding meaning in his life and those of others, his emotional numbness and tendency to view most people and activities as beneath him becomes apparent when he meets the angel Yuki. Meant to judge his life and actions, things take a turn when he tricks her into agreeing to a wager that would change his and her fate. Achieving victory over the angel, he acquires her devotion and servitude, though he soon discovers the true face her devotion to be pure obsession instead of the benevolence she showed him at first. After a confrontation with God himself about his changed fate, he and Yuki are sent to a new world in hopes of finding what his previous world lacked: meaning. Yuki however has made it her sole purpose to win him over, baiting the slightest bit of affection out of him, genuine or not. Even just experiencing theatrical romance scenarios, which she artificially creates at the cost of others, becomes a normal occurrence. Though not reciprocating her feelings just yet, Yamato cannot stop himself from being captivated by both her beauty and emotional intensity, seeing her as someone who might finally give him the emotional experience he seeks.

I’m a modern-day duel addict—cards, combos, and perfect lines are basically my native language. So when I wake up in the Duel Monsters era, my first thought is simple: Easy mode. These people are practically playing with stone tablets. I’ll crush them. …Except reality hits me like a direct attack to the face. Wait—why are these “primitive-era” decks so terrifyingly optimized? Wait—why am I the reincarnation of Kisara? Wait—why do I run straight into Seto Kaiba the moment I arrive? And then comes the final blow: To unlock new decks and stronger cards, I have to keep dueling—constantly. Fine. If this world runs on duels… Then let’s duel. Bring it on.

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── CREDIT!!

Author: 大卫马丁内斯 Original Name: 我不是英桀 ________________________________________ Introduction Tells the story of the protagonist, Lin, from his student days chatting and laughing with Kevin Kaslana, to joining the Moth of the Flame to fight for humanity. He goes from being a small soldier to a human hero, making people sigh at the great power hidden within a tiny Moth of the Flame. It's the story of him piloting a Titan, slaying a Herrscher, gathering a harem, becoming one of the Flame-Chasers, and reaching the pinnacle of his life... “……” “How is the novel I wrote?” The pink-haired girl smiled sweetly and asked the helmeted man who was holding the novel. “Boring.” Dropping this cold remark, he returned the novel to the girl and turned to leave. The novel’s dramatic plot was as lovely as the smile of its creator. But he was not the protagonist of the novel. He was neither a hero of humanity nor one of the Flame-Chasers, the MANTISes of the Moth of the Flame. The first failed experiment of a MANTIS, a cold weapon against the Honkai, the sole user of the Key of Blankness... There were many names for him, but he didn't care. He was just a soldier, standing in the torrent of the Honkai and the times, a soldier who endured hardship and battle. He was the person furthest from 'goodness.'

Romance, betrayal, and unexpected alliances collide in a deadly game of power and survival. Every choice could either destroy her—or make her unstoppable.

They say a friend is the family you choose. Mine chose to destroy me. She knew my secrets. My fears. My dreams. I trusted her with everything… including my heart. But trust becomes a weapon in the wrong hands. She didn’t just betray me. She stole my husband. In one night, my perfect life turned into ruins. The man who promised me forever chose her over me. But while they celebrated my downfall, something else was awakening inside me. A whisper in the darkness. A shadow that moves when I don’t. A strange power feeding on my pain. They think I’m broken. They are wrong. From the ruins they left behind, I will rise stronger… colder… dangerous. And this time— I won’t be the one who loses. When betrayal creates a monster… who will survive the revenge?

Cyrus Moore was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old stuck in the endless cycle of classes, dull conversations, and the growing feeling that life had nothing more to offer.

But when he's struck by a car and somehow survives, he awakens to a reality far stranger than anything he could have ever imagined. After the accident, Cyrus discovers that he's changed. Mysterious powers begin to emerge, reality starts to crack at the edges, and he is thrust into a hidden world where magic exists beneath the surface of modern life.

Caught between the ordinary world and the magical one, Cyrus joins a group of others who are just as gifted, confused, and overwhelmed as he is. Together, they must navigate deadly threats, uncover dangerous truths, and survive in a world where fantasy is not only real but far more perilous than anyone could imagine. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same.

As seventh in the bloodline of the Morningstar himself, Rafel has had a pretty fucking great life. There's spilled blood in excess. Violence to choke the gray skies. Abundant sex—depraved and hardcore. And more blood. Everything a Prince of the Abyss could desire. But Rafel has heard stories, of the world above. The world of the weak mortals whose damned souls fall endlessly through the red skies of his, to meet with perpetual torture. Stories of their fine carriages and legendary kings. Their golden sun and green earth. But mostly, their virgin women. He wishes to see it for himself. And so, when a lucky gambit with his dear Aunt, Lilith, opens up a way for him to explore the surface, Rafel hops to it. The deal is a hundred years before he has to return to his duties as Hell's Apollyon. Accompanied by his new slave, a voluptuous horned Succubus, Rafel journeys to the mortal realm, entering into the mythical lands of Eldoria as the enigmatic Earl of Emberfall, a haunted estate. But Rafel intends to rise, into the very courts of the Eldorian Queen. At least before his time runs out. And if corrupting, blackmailing, fucking, and murdering a few mortals gets in his way, so be it. This is until the haloed mess of Ravenna de Vries ends up on the grand steps of his Manor, soaking wet with a blood debt hanging over her head. Israfel had seen many beautiful women in his time, but somehow the little mortal girl is sufficient to make him rethink his gambit. Ravenna is owed to a powerful Hell Principality. And though Rafel convinces himself that building up his power ranking is solely selfish, it also has to do with going up against an ancient adversary from his home who is certain to appear just about anytime to collect what he is owed—Ravenna. She is not his responsibility, but why does Rafel feel exactly that whenever he looks at her? And suddenly for this Immortal, a hundred years is not enough to fall in love.

The words escape the pages of a popular webnovel, and the peaceful everyday has been corrupted in calamity. In simpler words, there's a damn apocalypse occurring. And in a particular building, overlooking the chaotic streets, two idiots flirt. "Do you want to rebel against your destiny?" the voice is firm and confident in its careless allure, promising a deal among the rubbles of this disaster. The man's lips curves dangerously, and he tilts his chin. "Then I'm in your hands, Joker." *** One sentence summary: In which an apocalypse has begun, and a certain delinquent 'accidentally' seduces his boss. Even shorter summary: deadly insulting machine MC x face looks good to punch (lovingly) ML

Rene, Captain of a military-esque unit, fights for what remains of Humanity. ... One hundred countries waged war. Material desire converged with violence and festered into 'Order'. Subjugation led to ruination, and though the twilight of the war finally came around, the open wounds forever bled. The creation of artificial life was supposed to help salvage the ruined world, some to rebuild, some to nurse. But the consequences of war had come back to bite them, and Humanity's own children were turned against them by the bleeding hands of old ghosts. With conflict rekindled, the cycle of desire and violence continues once again. Order is the progenitor of war, and Chaos, its precipice. The fleeting embers of Humanity must pay the consequences, for all that remains is a war-torn world forever in twilight.

Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.

What if the monster you were sold to wasn't the real danger? They call him the Monster. Nine wives. Nine graves. No heirs. I was supposed to be the tenth. Sold by my family to save a sister who betrayed me, I thought survival meant staying invisible. But when I healed Alpha Kael Cinderclaw in the snow, I accidentally bound us together, a mate bond neither of us wanted and neither can sever. Now I feel his rage like fire beneath my skin. He feels my fear like a blade against his throat. And the fortress that buried nine wives is watching us both. My family wanted me erased. His enemies want me dead. And Kael? He looks at me like I'm the one thing he can't afford to want—but can't let go. They wanted a sacrifice. They're getting an awakening. In a world where power is everything, the wolfless girl just became the Alpha's greatest weakness, and his most dangerous obsession.

"Was he a man dreaming he was a butterfly? Or a butterfly dreaming he was a man?" For a century, the continent of Laurasia has been a sepulchre of ash. What was once a tranquil expanse of kingdoms and emerald forests is now a Demonic Hell, usurped by the Demon Legion. Skeletons and carcasses are the only harvest in lands where humanity once thrived. Now, the few remaining bastions of mankind flicker like dying embers against an encroaching, eldritch night. In the heart of this chaos, within the high walls of the Capital, lies the Sanctus Sanctum—the supreme echelon of Mageia and the iron fist of the Magis' Guild. Seraph was the Sanctum’s ghost. A lowly orphan whose family was slaughtered by the swarm, he lived as a frail Acomage, bullied to the brink of death by noble-born magis who used "Mageia duels" as a veil for cruelty. After a ruthless assault left him broken and coughing up poisoned blood in a desolate infirmary, the boundaries of the multiverse fractured. A mysterious soul from a dark dimension—ancient, cunning, and lethal—has merged with the dying youth. Two fates, forged into a single, unstoppable entity. Now, the boy who once fled in terror has awakened with eyes that see the hidden truths of the world—one Gold, one Azure. He possesses a knowledge of the Macrocosmic that defies the ancient laws of the Magis' Guild. Seraph is no longer the victim cowering in the shadows. He is the master of a power that even the Demon Legion will come to fear. From the blood-stained halls of the Sanctum to the frontlines of the Great War, he will not just survive. He will become the cataclysm that ends it. The butterfly has awakened from its dream. And it has brought the Storm. (⌐■_■)
