I'll cut straight to the chase for you. This story will follow an OC called Asher, who has... quite a personality. He... unlike normal people... jumped in joy when he realized he got transmigrated into shadow slave. I think that speaks enough about his character. And no, please, he is not some psychopathic killer. And no, this is not harem. Few may find the MC annoying but stick with him, he will turn out to be goooood. Also, there will be comedy, and it will be funny(I hope) This fic will have slice of life moments and crazy plot twists. If I say anything else, it is a potential spoiler. Read it.

Once a bright and energetic young girl from the countryside, Ruby’s life took a drastic change after she involve herself with one of the potentially, most dangerous and frightening man in her country. The Fourth Prince, Julien Sterling. Or as they say, the crazy bastard who was both cruel and a sadist, treating human lives no better than grass. She had not only played such a figure around the palm of her finger, seducing the man to the point of obsession, but also conceived his son. Then, she ran away, only to return 6 years later for a secret mission. Ruby thought that the madman must have forgotten about her after so long, not knowing that the now mad tyrant had been searching for her to the point of madness. What would happen when the tyrant found out that his runaway bride hadn’t only sold him for a bag of gold, but also think of finding his son another ceo dad? When the time came for all deception to be shed and truth to be laid bare, would there still be any chance for the two to reach their happily ever after together? —— Excerpt: “H-How… did you recognize me?” She shivered against his touch, her heart beating wild as the man closed in, the familiar strokes of his sharp features emerging out of the cold shadows of the night. “I told you once, sweetheart.” He whispered against her skin, his breath slithering around her like a predatory snake rounding up its prey. “Even if your bones were to be grounded to dusts and every fiber of you, burnt into ashes, I would recognize you with just a glance.” The fingers on her chin tightened as he forced her to face the burning rage of his resentment. It had been 6 years… 6 years of waiting by the window like a fool who he himself looked down upon. However, he was no longer the fool of the past. And neither was he the powerless man who can only beg and wait. “Don’t you ever think about escaping from me again. In this lifetime, no, for as long as I stay in the same universe as you, you can only be mine, mine alone.” It was not a promise only to her, but also to himself. For he was now the mad tyrant who knew no reason, the tyrant who was bent on getting whatever that he had wanted. —— [Sweet 1 v 1 Fast-paced Romantic Comedy] [Male Lead Falls in Love First and Harder] [Extreme Pampering] [Naive Sweet White Rabbit x Cunning Black-Bellied Big Bad Wolf] Tags: #sweetlove #pregnancy #strongfemalelead #dark #royalfamily #pastplayhugerole #tragedy

Ah! Reincarnation! A second chance at life, it's a perfect opportunity isn't it? Wrong Between a disability that makes him so weak that his parents want to abandon him in the street, a war building up, and not even knowing which world he's in, Jeremy would say you're wrong. Reincarnating is an horrible experience. And he STILL doesn't know in which world he's in! _______ Kiiiind of slow burn, of course in the world of naruto but the protagonist will take some time to figure that out. Pretty dark too. Doing this story to train my writing.

(DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction, any resemblance to real places, people, or events are purely coincidental.) In a world of magic, being born without it makes a person ordinary. Unless the rest of the family has it, then it makes them a waste of space. And if the family is well-known? Then congratulations!!! You are a stain on your families name and are probably despised by most people you know. Safe to say that you are probably desperate enough to jump at almost anything that could get you out of this situation. "The deal is simple, I give you missions, and if they are completed, I give you power, what do you say?" The grin stretched even larger as the spectral being held out a translucent hand. "What kind of missions?" "Don't worry, from what I can see, they won't violate your moral compass." ... "Deal."

[You have been selected as the new demon king] [You have received the skill: Chaos Record] [You have received the skill: Mirror of Vainglory] [You have received the skill: Gluttonous Stomach] [You have received the skill: Eye of Envy] Lloyd didn't expect to reincarnate in another world, much less transmigrate into the body of Lloyd Kaitos, a dying extra destined to die. However, he received a gift to survive: a demonic system that rewards him for completing missions and committing deadly sins. One might think that transmigrating into the body of a sickly noble in the world of a novel would be boring, but it's not when criminal organizations, corrupt nobles, or the church seek to end your life. To survive, Lloyd must grow stronger using any means necessary, abandon all morals, and use his knowledge of the future. Can Lloyd survive the day-to-day life of a dying noble? Or will he die trying?

As tensions rise between House Lannister and House Targaryen, the crown demands unity—and the price is a marriage neither side desires. The chosen groom is Tywin himself.

It is a political alliance forged to prevent rebellion… and both of them know it. But Visenya is no pawn. And Tywin Lannister does not yield.

Let Power Be Your Truth. Your Light. And Your Chains. That was the first law granted to the Nyxvalis clan. For thirty-eight generations it held. Through fire and blood, through empire and ruin, through centuries of war waged in the name of a bloodline that had long since ceased to be merely human. It held — and in holding, built a monolith so absolute that the world stopped asking whether it could fall. Then came the 39th Flame. Seven hundred and thirty-one entered the Chambers of Night. Forty-seven crawled back out. Not an army. Not a dynasty. An ember — dim, diminished, and already encircled by enemies who had spent years sharpening their finest wolves in anticipation of its arrival. A heresy in numbers alone. A silent warning to those still bold enough to hear it: If a monolith can tremble — so too can it fall. As the world prepares to record the embers in its annals, so must its instruments play their parts. Those duty-bound to hold the monolith in place. Those eager to test the might of a millennium of power. And the forty-seven — carrying a smiling ember within. A dark gothic world of political deceit and ancient bloodlines. Empires built on inherited violence. Power forged in law and broken in shadow. And beneath it all — the slow, certain rot of institutions that have never once been held accountable. This is the world of The Star Chronicles. A story about survival without innocence. Legacy worn like chains. And the particular kind of power that doesn't free you — it simply decides how you burn. Embers of the Calamity Volume III

Synopsis: The Bastion of the Twelve (The Final Descent) ​The Bastion of the Twelve is a metaphysical epic tracing the journey of Haoran and Yuxiao as they lead a sanctuary of outcasts through the Forbidden Deep. The Archive, a divine machine of absolute order, treats their existence as a "narrative error" that must be corrected through total erasure. ​The heart of the story lies in the sanctuary’s Metallurgical Metamorphosis, where the city’s physical shell transforms through periodic elements to counter divine protocols. From the Tellurium Logic-Engines to the Thorium Nuclear Hearts, each transformation is a desperate attempt to stay written on the page of existence. ​The Tragedy of the Twin-Logic ​The core conflict is not just between the sanctuary and the Archive, but within the "Lattice of Will" that binds Haoran and Yuxiao. To protect the refugees, they must merge their souls into the city’s core, becoming the very syntax that holds the world together. However, the Archive’s final protocol—the Absolute Paradox—is designed to turn the two pillars of the sanctuary against one another. ​The Climax: The 5,000th Gate ​As the sanctuary reaches the final threshold of the 5,000th chapter, the Archive forces a "Resolution." The divine logic dictates that for the refugees to transition into a new, safe universe, the "Authors" of the rebellion—Haoran and Yuxiao—must be purged to balance the cosmic scales. ​The story concludes in a devastating Zero-Sum Strike: ​The Final Betrayal: Under the weight of the Archive’s corruption, the two protagonists are forced into a terminal duel. Their powers, which once resonated in perfect harmony, become polar opposites—one of absolute density and the other of absolute void. ​The Mutual Sacrifice: Realizing that the only way to break the Archive’s cycle is to leave the narrative entirely, they choose to kill each other simultaneously. By dying at each other’s hands, they create a "Logical Void" that the Creator God cannot fill. ​The Legacy: Their blood fuels the final transformation of the sanctuary into a Trans-Finite Realm, a world without a master. The refugees survive, but the book closes on the image of Haoran and Yuxiao’s armor drifting in the deep, locked in a final, lethal embrace. ​The book ends not with a victory, but with a Final Punctuation—the protagonists become the martyrs of their own story, ensuring that while they perish, their words remain unerasable.

Caspian is not a man. He is the Cycle itself — the eternal engine of Destruction and Rebirth that has turned since before this universe drew its first breath. In the previous eon, he was betrayed. The women he called soulmates. The generals he called brothers. They drained his Genesis Core, detonated his Laws, and reduced an entire civilization to cosmic dust — with his own power. Now he has been reborn into a mortal shell in this recovering world, where Aetheric energy is just beginning to stir. His memories are intact — every face, every betrayal. But his divine power is gone, stolen by those he trusted most. His only anchor is the Omega Exchange — an ancient entity bound to his soul, now awakening in the shadows of the world's most powerful lie: The Temple of Holy Radiance. [Omega Exchange Initialized] [Status: Mortal Shell (Critical Instability)] [Quest: Reclaim 10 Genesis Laws] [Warning: Detonation Imminent] The foolish masses worship their Temple gods. They don't know that the god the Temple originally served — was him. To survive, he must walk two paths simultaneously: Flesh — to suppress the Destruction that wants to consume him. Soul — to ignite the Rebirth that will restore what was taken. The women of this world are no longer equals in his eyes: Some are Fuel — parasites wearing holy masks. Raw energy to be burned. Some are Vessels — beautiful, hollow. Their only purpose is to absorb his violence. Some are Resonants — rare souls that echo the abyss. He conquers their minds long before their flesh. And then there are the ten. Apex-Tier. Singular. Irreplaceable. Each carrying a fragment of a Genesis Law — his Laws, stolen in his past life. His first Apex ignites a Soul-Brand: a permanent bond carved into the fabric of their Laws. Through it, he feels her heartbeat from three hundred kilometers. Through it, their Laws begin to fuse. Through it, the line between weapon and partner blurs into something neither can name. But brute force won't be enough. He must become the ultimate mastermind — manipulating noble houses into political marriages, turning a national chaebol into his silent army, and making the puppet king himself open the palace doors. Every faction thinks they're playing him. None realize they're already standing on his board. He will unmask every traitor in the Temple's shadow. He will reclaim every fragment of what is his. And when the last Law is restored — The Cycle begins again. Under his rule. Forever. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive him will be nothing. The Omega Exchange is open. Step inside.

The story begins when a lonely young boy, bored of reading romance novels, really wants to have a girlfriend but cannot trust anyone in real life. So he decides to download an AI chat app to experience the feeling he desires.

He had thought he had finally reached peace. But when faced with a disaster he could not comprehend, Oren realized it was not peace waiting for him, but death. In desperation, he pulled on his anchor, escaping certain death. The anchor did not return him "home," nor did it grant him safety. Instead, it dragged him downward and cast him into a cursed world. He fell from the clouds and crashed into a lone house on the distant outskirts of a great city. He survived but at a cost. Cursed by the very world he had trespassed upon, Oren awakened there as something he had never been before. Stripped of what he once was, he was forced to walk the world and flourish as something painfully fragile, slowly reclaiming what had been taken from him.
