18+ Restricted Content: Explicit sexual content, power imbalance, high emotions, and morally grey characters. One stolen wallet. One little girl screaming “Daddy!”. One alpha mafia lord who never lets debts go unpaid. After catching his cheating ex selling him out, male omega Shin Seoha loses everything in a single night: his home, his inheritance, his pride. Desperte to survive the night, he steals from the first well-dressed stranger he sees. That stranger is Kang Taesan; CEO of Mountain Atelier by day, ruthless underworld captain by night. Instead of accepting an apology, Taesan offers Seoha a deal: repay the black card debt by working under him, at his company, at his side, and move into his penthouse to play daddy to the daughter who refuses to let Seoha go. It’s only until the debt is cleared, only until the child stops crying and only until Taesan decides he’s had enough that it ends. But debts grow, and Seoha is only starting to learn just what he has been pulled into, it's a world where secrets can kill and the ex who betrayed Seoha isn’t done yet. What started as punishment turns into possession. What started as survival turns into surrender. Because mountains don’t forgive. They claim. And Taesan has no intention of letting his little thief escape.

He was supposed to be just another spoiled heir flatlining on a penthouse floor. One more overdose. One more file stamped “troubled rich boy.” Then Dr. Rowan Blackwood looked at him like he was someone not special and that single, stupid moment of boldness lit a fuse no one saw coming. Now the seventeen-year-old billionaire heir won’t stop until he owns Rowan completely. Body. Mind. Soul. He’ll buy the hospital wing if he has to. He’ll show up at 3 a.m. outside Rowan’s locked apartment door. He’ll burn every boundary, break every rule, ruin every excuse Rowan tries to hide behind because once someone sees the real, bleeding boy underneath the cocaine and couture, Nyx Ravencroft doesn’t let go. Ever. Rowan should run. Ethics scream it. The law demands it. Her career would survive it. But every time those fever-bright eyes lock on hers, every time that trembling, manic hand reaches out like it’s drowning… something inside the unflinching doctor starts to fracture. One wrong touch. One forbidden kiss in the dark. One night where detox sweat and desperate sobs blur into something neither of them can name. They’re definitely not supposed to *need* this. But obsession doesn’t ask for permission. And healing… healing can look a lot like destruction when the wrong two people find each other at the worst possible time. Welcome to the kind of love that ruins lives and might just save them anyway. Dark. Forbidden. Addictive. You won’t look away. Even when you know you should. >>>>>>>> The audio was clean.  Crisp.  Every hitch, every gasp, every whispered "yes" and "more" rendered in perfect high-definition clarity. Rowan's knees buckled.  She caught herself against the door palm flat, sliding down an inch. "That's… that's illegal. You can't... you can't have that." Nyx lowered the phone slowly.  The moans cut off when she paused the video. "Illegal?" he echoed, almost gently. "Like fucking your patient in the backseat? Like letting him finger you until you screamed? Like coming home the next morning and lying to your friends that 'nothing happened'?" >>>>>>>> Age Gap, Obsessive Love, Yandere, Doctor x Patient, Forbidden Romance, Dark Romance, Manipulation, Psychological. >>>>>>>> Note: The cover art for this novel is my original work.

[Warning: MATURED CONTENT 18+] Celeste Vechi has spent ten years living for one thing—revenge. After the Cosa Nostra slaughtered her family before her eyes, she infiltrates the powerful Giordano Mafia family under a false identity, determined to destroy them from the inside. But revenge becomes dangerous when she finds herself drawn to the one man she should hate the most—her husband’s psychotic brother. Dangerous. Unhinged. Ruthless. The man she should fear the most is the one who sees through every lie she tells. And the more she tries to avoid him… the more dangerous their attraction becomes. Because in the mafia world, betrayal is paid for in blood. And falling for the wrong man might cost her everything. Excerpts; “We can’t be doing this,” I warn, my breathing coming off more shallow than I’d like. My nerves spike, high on adrenaline, my half-lidded eyes darting around the darkened hallway in alert. “I’m your brother’s wife.” The claws of guilt have never gripped this tight. His silence is ominous. I fear it. His huge frame casts shadows over me, sinful lips leaving goosebumps behind with every trail on my skin. “That can be solved with just one bullet,” he croons, an icy threat lacing his words. Terror seizes my chest; my stomach drops with a sickening plop. Fear grips me as it clicks—he’s not bluffing. He’s capable of doing worse.

Nogami Izumi, Devil King in past life got reincarnated in the magic world ruled by humans.

As this twin sister of his made him, work like a slave and servent to her, in the name of taking him on the right path. "Nogami, you have already died as a devil. And now in this life you are human, so live like a normal person and enjoy this beautiful life yours. No need to go insane and kill others without any reason." Chiaki Izumi, his twin sister said in calm tone witg her expressionless face like a cold stone as she looked outside the window, the cold air blowing her midnight black hairs in graceful way. "No..I won't. I will annihilate each and every humans. They deserve to die, just the way they kill all animals. You told me to be like normal person, every humans hates each other kills and torture those who are weak to them. That's what I also want to do..?" Nogami Izumi said in very deep voice almost like a Devil King inside his normal human body. "Hah..I understand. But you don't need to be bad to others just because they are to you, leave them and enjoy this mortal life. You want this ice cream..? It's good and it would cool you down." "Chiaki-san, these things aren't going to work on me. If you want to stop me, then I am giving you the way. Kill me, I even hate to be born in this pathetic pityless creature or else see everyone die a horrible death including you. Just like those two humans.." Nogami Izumi said with serious tone and devilish smile as one can feel the boundless terror and anger beneath that calm surface. "Truly evil at heart..Will take some time till, I teach him the right path. Hah..such a stubborn child." Chiaki-san thought as she sighed, continuing to look outside at the star before licking her ice cream. She knew that the two humans he was talking about was no other but the very own mother and father who gave birth to them was killed by him, but she doesn't belongs to an ordinary background to get engaged in human matter. Her thoughts and reality were beyond explanation, she can only sigh.

She didn't know he is in his heart not a random child who would get diverted by some toffees.) Will This Hatred for Humans Of Nogami will change or he continue this till he annihilate every single living being. And will his desire to kill his own sister ruthlessly change..?

In a world where a single year lasts a thousand days—and each day stretches across thirty-eight hours—something about reality has always been… wrong. Dark never questioned it. An orphan with a quiet love for books, he expects nothing more than a normal life as he begins high school. Until the day reality cracks. Beneath a solitary tree, he meets a woman who should not know him—yet does. She claims to be his new literature teacher. From that moment on, the world begins to unravel. Whispers appear where silence should exist. People move like they’re being guided. And something unseen begins pulling the strings. What starts as curiosity turns into a descent. Together with his friends, Dark steps into a hidden conflict shaped by control, manipulation… and forces that do not belong to this world. But the deeper he looks, the clearer one thing becomes: This isn’t happening around him. It’s happening because of him. As fragments of the past resurface, Dark is dragged toward a truth that was never meant to be uncovered—one that speaks not of heroes… …but of something that should have never existed. Because in a world controlled by unseen hands, Dark is not the one searching for answers. He is the fracture in reality itself.

In a parallel dimension, the DNK, negative versions of the Nextgen Kids Next Door, struggle to live in a dark, miserable world where friendship means little. The DNK was reformed to fight crime and protect people, but many of its operatives lack passion for the art. However, as intergalactic dictators and dimensional cataclysms threaten their world, can these toxic groups of friends turn their feelings around and grow closer to face the greater evils of the Negaverse? This story is a parallel series to the main Nextgen Series, where the adventures of the DNK mirror those of the KND. As with all Gameverse stories, there are numerous crossovers that are uniquely integrated in a single, cohesive universe. Most crossovers in question are disconnected to their canon backgrounds, so knowing them is not vital. Unlike with the main series, much of the storytelling will be written in a fast-paced or summary style. However, the character interactions and intense situations are given the proper focus to bring the best out of our Negatives! The first 20 chapters are recommended prereading for the Seven Lights Saga, as these characters will have a side-plot in that story.

WARNING: DARK THEMES, OBSESSION, AND MORALLY DARK CHARACTERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you can’t stomach unhinged men, manipulation, and a female lead who learns to weaponize her pain—turn back now. WSA SUPPORT. In the sprawling beast-realm galaxies, a woman's power means nothing without a womb that bears fruit. Status, strength, supernatural gifts—all rendered worthless against the singular measure of fertility. Jinx, a descendant from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan learned this lesson in blood and betrayal. For years, she loved blindly. Her werewolf husband, Fenris, repaid that devotion with public humiliation, poisoned meals designed to keep her weak and barren, and a parade of mistresses who laughed at the "broken fox" he kept chained through manipulation. When an "accident" finally claimed her life, Jinx died with his mocking laughter still echoing in her ears. Death, however, wasn't finished with her. She claws her way back from the void, but she doesn't return alone. Bonded to a mysterious system that grants her abilities beyond anything the beast realms have witnessed, Jinx rises—wearing the mask of the fool everyone already believes her to be. Let them underestimate her. Let them see only the barren, broken woman they discarded. They won't see the blade until it's already at their throats. As Jinx dismantles her enemies piece by piece—ruining fortunes, exposing secrets, and watching the mighty crumble—she encounters something she never anticipated: Flynn. A beast lord with eyes that don’t look at her with pity...but hunger. The moment he saw her, he wanted her. Not gently. Not patiently. Completely. And Flynn is not a man who accepts denial. He offers help… but nothing about him feels safe. He’s dangerous. Unpredictable. Possibly just another predator wearing a better mask. Or worse— Someone real. In his unhinged charcater, she think he is another predator in clever disguise? Caught between vengeance and vulnerability, Jinx must navigate deadly politics, unlikely alliances, and the terrifying possibility that not every man deserves her wrath. Burn the world… Or risk her heart in the hands of a man who might ruin her even more completely than the last. But one thing remains certain: those who made her suffer will pay the terrible price.

While the common people hide behind the "Silver Seals," a ancient race of monsters known as Kebaruke—born from a forbidden alchemical accident—stalk the shadows. But they have one fatal weakness: the very moonlight that guides them also burns them into white ash. Oolka was a simple girl until the night the Upper Sun Kebaruke decimated her village, leaving only her and her brother, Kgreko, alive. But Kgreko has changed.

In a world where the moon is a weapon and history is a lie, Oolka must master the First Art before the rotating castle of the enemy crushes the last of the human spirit.

Etching is an art of magic so dangerously versatile that the difference between a master and a corpse is often a single misplaced rune. Gherm, a young hunter from a remote, self-sufficient village, discovers this reality when he stumbles upon the remains of a master scribe and activates a schema that rewires his very constitution. He returns home with a strange power that makes him unimaginably strong. But raw strength means little against coordination. When a heavily armed slaver caravan infiltrates his village, everything burns. His mother is wounded. His sister is dragged away in an iron cage. With nothing left, Gherm turns his hunt toward men. What he doesn’t understand is that the power he awakened has already placed him inside something far larger than himself.

Humans are nothing more than servants in the glittering, cruel society of the winged Seraph. When a human offends them, the punishment is simple: be sold. Evangeline, never thought her own family would betray her. But when her sister committed the unforgivable, offending a seraph, their mother offered Eva in her place- without hesitation. Cast aside like unwanted trash, Eva is paraded before the Seraph nobility to be claimed. No one wants her. Until he appears. The Black Wing. The only Seraph whose feathers are not gold or silver or white, but midnight black. Feared. Cursed. Whispers say every human he has ever taken has perished. And yet, he chooses her. Dragged into his world of shadows, Eva becomes the obsession of a man everyone else fear and despises. He is possessive, merciless, and dangerously seductive. And while her family prays she will be destroyed... Eva begins to wonder if the true danger lies not in his black wings- but in the way her heart betrays her whenever he draws near. Can she ever survive this game of fate? **** The candlelight quivered against the cracked walls of the old inn, shadows twisting like restless spirits. Eva froze as he wasn't suppose to be here! Hades sat in the crimson chair, his presence consuming the air, thick and suffocating, as if the world itself had bowed before him. Swirling the red liquid in his glass, his bright purple eyes never left the shadows, yet he knew she was there before she moved. "Who is it this time?" His voice was a low rasp, curling into the room like smoke, tying her stomach in knots of fear and something darker. Eva forced her pulse to slow, telling herself not to back down. But when his hands rose from the arms of the chair, a shiver ran down her spine. "You aren't supposed to be here," she gasped, as he stood impossibly fast. His black wings unfurled, stretching wide, enveloping her, pressing her to his chest as though he claimed her before she could claim her own breath. "Why?" His lips curled into a wicked, sharp smile. "So I won't discover you running off with that useless boy?" "I didn't—" "Of course, because he's dead." His words cut like a blade, delivered with the certainty of a god reading an open book. Eva stumbled back, pressed to the wall. "You've lost your mind! You didn't kill him—" "Why shouldn't I?" His voice dropped to a growl. A single finger traced the fading red mark on her neck. His eyes snapped with fury; the air itself shivered. He leaned forward, lips brushing her skin, teeth grazing flesh in a possessive bite, erasing another's mark. "He dares," Hades hissed, deadly and low, "he dares touch what belongs to me. A fool. Bold enough to place his lips where mine already mark her." Eva's chest heaved, terror and desire entwined so tightly she could barely breathe. His wings tightened, dark and unyielding, and she realized escape was no longer an option, and perhaps, she didn't even want it. "Don't forget, dear," he murmured, lips grazing her ear, "I've bought you. You're mine now. And I don't like to share."

A god fell from the sky… and even in death, it refused to let the world live in peace. Now, the air itself is power. Radiation seeps into everything—turning beasts into nightmares and humans into something… else. Power is everything. And power comes at a cost.

I am not a hero, but I once dreamed of becoming one. However, fate and the world conspired to shatter my dreams. This world was created by light and darkness, by heroes and villains. If everyone wants to be a hero, then who will be the villain? The world laughed at my suffering and called it justice. I used to believe them. I don't anymore. And so, I was forced into a role I never wanted—the villain. Yet every step I take feels like betraying those who love me, those who believed in me and sacrificed everything so I could survive. I am not a villain, nor are the others. There are no evil people in this world; they are victims of societal cruelty and the system. Destiny is not something you can reject… but you can choose how you live it. Darkness is not the opposite of light… it is where light is born and dies. And I? I am the end of everything.
