Jake is a thief. He survives by reading people, bending rules, and staying one step ahead. He never believed in magic. Until the day he steals a relic from the College of Magic, and it bonds with him. Dragged into a hidden realm of living mist where emotion shapes reality and power comes at a cost, Jake is forced into a world of hunters, relics, and ancient forces that refuse to stay buried. Talent alone won’t save him. Every mistake leaves a mark. And Jake is not the only one touched by the mist. Across factions, some wields its power, while others fight to contain it: apprentices tested beyond their limits, hunters bound to shadow beasts, leaders chasing control at any cost. Their choices will collide, and no path remains untouched. The Name We Carve is a multi-POV epic progression fantasy where growth is earned, power has consequences, and even a single decision can fracture the world.

“I hear you would do anything for the right price. If that's the case, then I would like to hire you. How much would you charge?” - Daniel Park, aka Fenrir, knew his reckless decision to earn money would bite him in the ass one day. He just did not expect it to happen so soon. After finally running away from the mafia, all Daniel needed to do was repay his debt to the ‘Den.’ Once he did, he and his brother would be free to live their lives. What he failed to account for was the obsession of the Alpha who had been obsessed with him from a young age. Daniel might have escaped the Den, but he was never able to run away from it. At least, not while the Young Master still had a hold on him. __________ “See, I told you that we are made for each other. No matter where you run and no matter what you do, you will always come back to me. After all, you became an omega because of me, and I became an alpha for your sake.” Young Master Ivan’s sinful voice sounded like melted lust. There was no reasoning with an alpha in rut. In the end, no matter how much Daniel suffered and how far he tried to run, he was bound by the dark obsession of an alpha standing at the top of the food chain. He never had a choice to run in the first place. __________ R18, Smut, Omegaverse, BL, Yaoi, Possessive, Alpha, Dark, BDSM…I don’t want to tag more…

Riven Hale is eighteen, angry, and addicted to wanting the wrong things. He comes from nothing - a broken apartment, a mother who cleans other people's homes, and a reputation built on violence and sharp words. At school, he's feared. At night, he's obsessed. The man he loves is untouchable. Lucien Crowe is thirty-one, a self-made billionaire with blood on his hands and a past no one survives knowing. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. When Riven confesses, Lucien rejects him without mercy - believing distance is the only way to protect them both. He's wrong. Because obsession doesn't fade when it's denied. It festers. As drugs, manipulation, jealousy, and violence pull Riven deeper into the dark, Lucien's enemies begin to notice what he never wanted to admit: the boy he pushed away is his greatest weakness. And when that weakness is threatened, Lucien is forced to cross a line he swore he never would again. This is not a love story about healing. It's about late love, toxic devotion, and choosing damnation over distance. Read at your own risk.

"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." **** 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.

For those who can manipulate time victory is but an inevitability. Still... Nothing is ever so simple. When you throw a stone in tranquil waters, waves ripple across the surface. Sometimes these ripples meet. (Disclaimer: I played the Original Game, know a lot about the plot and have also played the two new Remakes. I like both, but want to take the story in my own direction even without knowing the story for the third Remake. Yes, the world will be somewhat AU, with the most important details being kept the same. Still, I will allow myself some liberties in where I take the plot. That is the purpose of fanfictions anyway. To have fun, so don't take the things I write TOO SERIOUSLY. In that sense, yes, the story is a bit of a wish-fulfillment and a little bit if a guilty pleasure, but I won't lean too much into it. (Guess you will have to read to see what I mean 'wink'.) This is a mere hobby to unwind, so I will not take any money or donations, because otherwise it becomes a job and that will ruin my fun. All rights and ownership are reserved to the concerned parties. This will NOT be a harem. ONLY one love interest. I won't say who. The Chapters will be as long as they need to be. I will try to update once a week. Maybe take a peek if you are interested and if it is not for you, then happy reading anyways.)

Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls originating from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core.

Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the others had hidden away to catch their opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray.

She now finds herself almost completely alone in this harsh world with only her childhood friend Camilla to lean on.

In the stillness before the storm, she was a masterpiece of cold elegance. Riha was the perfect tool. As the "Shadow Lord" of the Shadow Vile, she moved through the darkness to protect a family that treated her like a ghost. She expected a life of service; she didn't expect the daggers in her back. Betrayed by her own blood and left to drown in the silver depths of the Star-Glow Lake, Riha’s life didn't just flash before her eyes—it shattered. But as she sank into the crushing darkness, the Abyss didn't take her soul. It recognized its ruler. They wanted a sacrificial lamb to die in the dark. Instead, they birthed a Sovereign who would command it. "The stars witnessed my fall. Now, the world will tremble at my return."

"In a world where the strong climb, the weak are thrown to the depths. I didn’t climb, I was thrown… and I kept falling...until the Abyss stared back.” When the world ended, the tower rose from the earth, and humanity was forced into a game of survival against nightmare-fueled monsters. Machines stopped working and amidst the chaos, Xior Arden, a broken orphan boy with empty eyes was cast into the lowest depths of the Abyss. There, the weak don’t die quickly. They suffered and so he did suffer. But the Abyss chose him. With the power to absorb runes from fallen monsters, evolve his body into higher forms, and steal the essence of the creatures he kills. Xior begins to climb the tower, not as a hero. But as the thing which the Abyss itself fears: A Monarch born in the dark. *** Additional Tags: TowerClimbing, Anti-hero, System, Revenge, WeakToStrong, MorallyGreyProtagonist, CunningProtagonist, ArrogantProtagonist *** https://discord.gg/X5kgdaaejF
