[Snow White and the (not) Evil Queen] I present to you a retelling of a fairy tale we all know. A story full of twists and turns, combining fantasy and romance, with psychological themes, elements of magic and demons! How could it be all in one? You'll have to read to get it all. [From the story] The princess shivered and brought her mouth close to the blonde's ear: "Did you think I wouldn't notice? Don't be embarrassed... I've been harboring inappropriate thoughts for a long time." ~•~•~•~•~ "My dear, I ask your forgiveness, for I am human like others, a victim of passions and sins." And she concluded solemnly, lowering her head to the princess's. Their mouths met: Snow White's lips were indeed cold, but soft, as the queen had always imagined. ~•~•~•~•~

Everyone thought it was just a free school lunch. They were wrong. The first bite made them stronger. The second… changed them. And the third— took something away. Arga was the first to notice. But by then, it was already too late.

Meredith Carter was once the pride of her pack—until the Lunar Curse marked her as wolfless, unwanted, and a disgrace. Humiliated, abandoned, and rejected by her fated mate, she thought the Moon Goddess had forsaken her. But her curse came with a cruel side effect—wild, uncontrollable pheromones that drove men insane with desire and disgust. A scent so intoxicating, it made her a target. The night she was cast aside when her pheromones spiralled beyond control, Alpha Draven Oatrun—the most feared and untouchable Alpha in the kingdom—claimed her instead. But Draven doesn’t want love. He doesn’t even want her. His reasons for marrying her have nothing to do with fate. Thrust into a world of ruthless politics, deadly enemies, and a mate who sees her as nothing more than a pawn, Meredith must fight to survive, reclaim her dignity, and uncover the secrets behind her curse. Because something is awakening inside her. Something powerful. Something… ancient. And when the truth is revealed, not even Alpha Draven will be able to resist what she becomes. Rejected. Cursed. Desired. Chosen. Will Meredith break free from her fate? Above all, what is this mystical force pushing her to start a war? — Excerpt: "You may have claimed me," Meredith whispered, her violet eyes burning with defiance, "but you will never own me." Draven exhaled a low, dangerous laugh. His golden eyes gleamed as he caged her in, his presence suffocating. "Own you?" His voice was velvet and steel. "Little wolf, I don’t need to own you." He brushed a strand of silver-white hair behind her ear—a touch so light, yet it sent shivers down her spine. "Because whether you like it or not…" His breath ghosted against her skin. "Your body already responds to me." Meredith clenched her jaw, ignoring the traitorous warmth pooling deep inside her. It was the pheromones. It had to be. "I hate you," she forced out. “Good,” Draven smirked. Because hate was just another form of obsession.

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

Reality was never meant to be understood. Akira lived an ordinary life—until the world around him began to break. Not collapse… not shatter… but contradict itself. Time repeats without reason. Space folds without direction. And existence itself begins to reject its own rules. As the boundaries of reality dissolve, Akira is forced to confront a truth no one was meant to see. There was never more than one world. There was never separation. Everything—past, present, and future—was always one. But something divided it. Something is still controlling it. And now… it has noticed him. With a mysterious presence watching from beyond existence and a connection that refuses to disappear, Akira must decide: Will he accept the system that defines reality… or break it completely? Because once the truth is revealed— there is no returning.

The boys summoned from Earth were meant to be heroes. Instead, they became slaves. Branded as expendable weapons by the empire that summoned them, the group later known as the Strays survives through rebellion, escape, and bloodshed. Freedom comes at a cost—and now powerful nobles, mercenary orders, and kingdoms hunt the runaway summons who were never meant to live. Armed with stolen magic and hard-earned scars, the Strays travel a continent consumed by war, searching for one impossible prize: a way back to Earth. But in a world that profits from their existence, escaping may mean tearing down the very empires that control it.

Synopsis – I Was Betrayed and Reborn as the System of the Apocalypse The world ended overnight. Cities burned. Monsters crawled from the shadows. Humanity fell—and I died. Not at the hands of fate. Not in some heroic battle. But betrayed by the one I trusted most. Then… I woke up. Not as a survivor. Not as a hero. I became a SYSTEM. A disembodied intelligence with the power to bind humans, grant abilities, and manipulate their every move. Every choice I offered carried temptation, every reward concealed a price. Bind a weak host… or consume for instant power? Decide carefully. Fail… and your host dies. As I guide my first host through the apocalypse, I discover hidden functions, rival systems, and monsters beyond imagination. The line between savior and manipulator blurs. And soon, I realize: the true threat isn’t the apocalypse. It’s what I am becoming. Will I reclaim my body? Will I betray my own hosts? Or will I ascend beyond humanity… into something terrifying? One choice can save a life—or destroy it. Welcome to the apocalypse. Welcome to the System.

Prince Raven was only five years old the night the mark of the demon appeared on his skin. By the ancient law of the realm, anyone cursed with the mark had to be killed before the next sunrise. His father, the king, refused to sacrifice his only son. The cost was immediate and merciless. The king and queen lost their lives that very night, and the young prince and his sister survived. Years later, the kingdom had forgotten the cursed prince. But Raven had not forgotten them. With unmatched power, he built his own feared empire, one filled with the strongest warriors and the most ruthless sorcerers. No kingdom dared challenge him. Kings bowed. Armies trembled.

Completely unaware of the dark fate that now waited for her in the hands of the cursed emperor. Now the question remains: Can a young girl survive in the presence of the cursed, ruthless Emperor? What is his plan for his little bride? And how far will Emperor Raven go to exact his revenge?

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough to do anything. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.

Eli has lived his whole life in Port Virel, a small coastal town where most things stay the same year after year. The streets are familiar, the school is the same one everyone’s parents went to, and most days move at the same steady pace. It is the kind of place where nothing strange is supposed to happen. For most of his life Eli never expected it would. Over the past year, though, something about his life has started to feel slightly off. He catches himself zoning out in the middle of class and realizing minutes have passed without him noticing. Sometimes he stares at something and gets the strange feeling that the world shifted a little while he wasn’t paying attention. Not in an obvious way, just enough to leave him unsettled afterward. It is the kind of thing that is easy to brush off as stress or lack of sleep, so that is exactly what he tries to do. That explanation stops working after one morning in Port Virel forces him to accept that some things in the world don’t follow the rules he thought they did. Soon after, Eli is taken to Aurelion, the capital city, by a man who seems to know far more about him than he should. Compared to Port Virel, the city feels enormous. Glass towers rise behind older stone buildings, highways stack across the skyline, and the entire place moves with a pace Eli has never experienced before. At first it just feels like the normal difference between a quiet town and a capital city. The longer he stays there, though, the more he begins to realize that parts of the city operate under rules most people never notice. There are people in the world known as carriers. They are born with rare paired abilities called binaries, and those abilities follow their own strange logic. Most of the public has no idea carriers exist. For generations certain organizations have quietly located them, trained them, and kept their existence hidden so the rest of the world never has to deal with the consequences. Alongside carriers there are also things called shades. Even the people who study them struggle to fully explain what they are. They are tied to the same strange structure of reality that carriers interact with, and when they appear they can become extremely dangerous. Encounters with them are rare for ordinary people, mostly because the groups responsible for dealing with them work hard to make sure the public never sees what is actually happening. Eli enters this hidden system with almost no understanding of it. The people around him already know the rules and treat them like common sense. He is still trying to figure out why he was brought into it at all. The more he learns, the more it becomes clear that the world surrounding carriers and shades has been operating quietly for a long time, shaped by history most people have never heard about. Binary Reflections follows Eli as he tries to make sense of this reality while still holding on to the life he thought he understood. What begins as confusion slowly turns into something larger. A hidden system built on secrecy, dangerous abilities that few people truly understand, and a past that may be more connected to him than anyone is willing to explain.

My name is Jack. I used to be just a cowardly teenager who couldn’t find a reason to stand out. Everything changed the day the world was torn in two. Creatures that looked human, but with no trace of humanity, attacked without mercy. No one could move. No one could scream. We were all their food. I died too… or so I thought. When the blue blood of those beasts contaminated my body, I discovered that the line between human and monstrous was thinner than I ever imagined. Now, transformed into a hybrid, I have to decide whether to use this power to save what’s left… or surrender to my own monstrosity.
