{MATURE. DARK ROMANCE, MAFIA, YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT IN MAFIA! BLOOD, GORE, ASSUALT. THE ROMANCE ISN'T DARK BUT THE THEME IS DARK. BE WARNED!} His hand pressed flat against the door before I could pull it open, and the warmth of him at my back made every nerve in my body go completely still. "You are the mother of my child and you belong to me," he murmured against my ear, his voice so quiet that made me shiver, "and every breath you take on this island exists because I allow it." His hand moved from the door to my jaw, tilting my face up toward his with a gentleness that made me gulp. "So tell me, my beautiful wife — where exactly do you think you're going?" I had no answer and a knowing smile pulled on his lips. *** Elsie Miller’s simple life unravels the moment she discovers she is pregnant with no memory of how it happened. In a small town where reputation is worth more than truth, her parents choose to erase the scandal the only way they know how—by selling her to a man old enough to be her grandfather to settle a crushing debt she never knew they had. She had accepted her fate and was ready to endure the wedding, but before the vows could be spoken, the church doors burst open and Salvatore Vitale—the most feared Mafia Lord in the underworld, known only as The Saint—strode in, put a bullet in her groom’s head without breaking his stride, and told the priest to continue the ceremony. Then his dark eyes found hers across the blood-soaked aisle, and he spoke the words that rewrote her entire future. "I’ve been searching for you. Mother of my child." Taken to Salvatore’s private island, Elsie is thrust into a brutal empire built on blood oaths and ruthless power. To his enemies, The Saint is a whispered legend. To his empire, he is untouchable. But to Elsie, he is the stranger tied to a night she cannot remember, the father of her unborn child, and the dangerously possessive man who has claimed her as his own. Surrounded by those who see her as unworthy and a discarded fiancée who will stop at nothing to reclaim what she believes is rightfully hers, Elsie quickly learns that mercy does not exist in Salvatore’s world. Power is law, loyalty is enforced, and weakness is hunted without hesitation. force marriage Possessive mmc Captivity Pregnancy

Montes Family are soon to fall in bankruptcy. Melany, the matriarch of the family, does her best to define marriages for her oldest daughters, but the complicated feelings and relationships they have with men around them make her effors insuficient and the tragedies that follow them make her goals almost impossible to achieve.

In a world where absolute power attracts the wrath of gods and cosmic executioners, Dan Shula is the ultimate anomaly. Born from the union of a dragon and a human king, Dan carries an unstable, world-shattering force known only as the Error. To survive and keep the universe's apex predators off his scent, he keeps his true strength buried deep. But every time danger closes in on the people he loves, the monster inside stirs, begging to be let loose. At his side stands Areia—the fierce, white-haired knight who would follow him to the end of the world, and already has more times than either can count. Their bond is messy, deep, and unspoken; the kind of connection where a single glance speaks volumes that words never could. Together with a ragtag crew—a guilt-ridden hero, an ancient elf, and a fallen angel who is hilariously bad at being holy—they navigate a treacherous world of slumbering gods, royal betrayal, and old scars that refuse to stay buried. Some promises are worth chasing across continents. Some powers are worth fighting yourself to control. And some bonds are worth every bit of chaos they bring. What happens when the boy who spent his life running to protect everyone... finally stops running?

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

One year ago, Victoria was summoned to another world and named a Hero. She didn't take the sword. She took the offer from something older than gods. Now she's paying for it. Transported alongside her companion Robert into a realm ruled by proto-concepts — the primordial truths from which life, death, and divinity are forged — Victoria was meant to follow the Hero's path. Robert embraced it. Victoria made a different choice. A contract. A year of her life. Power that no scholar, sorcerer, or saint was ever meant to possess. Now she walks a world that moved on without her — one year behind the celebrated Hero, carrying knowledge so dangerous it has begun to dissolve the very thing that makes her human. She can do things whispered only of beings who crossed the threshold between human and something else. She is becoming one of them. And in a world built on immovable truths, one remains: Power taken too far doesn't just corrupt. It erases.

In the ever-unfolding tapestry of life, circumstances occasionally dictate that conflicts arise, even among those bound by the bonds of kinship. In this crucible of adversity, the question looms large: will any among them choose to unite and confront their collective challenges, or will they opt to face their trials individually? Each of these siblings finds themselves confronted with their own arduous battle, each imbued with a distinct purpose. For some, the impetus lies in their eternal quest for change, an undying ambition that propels them forward. Others are driven by an insatiable hunger for power, seeking dominance over their chosen realm. And yet, there are those whose battles are fought for the sake of love; their motivations rooted in the profound connections that define our human existence. As these siblings navigate their respective journeys, their paths intertwine and diverge in equal measure. Some seek to discover their true nature, to uncover the depths of their being. Others strive to prove their mettle, to demonstrate their worthiness in the face of adversity. From these differing perspectives, the potential for unity or division emerges; a choice that can bind them closer than ever or sow the seeds of animosity. Will their battles drive them to turn completely against one another? Time alone will reveal the path they choose on this journey of self-discovery and affirmation.

"If you are not my mate, then why does the beast within me roar at your mere touch? Why does it growl to mark you as mine? Only Mine!” +++++ Being an Alpha’s fated mate was supposed to make Angelise Morin untouchable. But it only brought her shame. When she caught her Alpha cheating, he didn’t deny it. He didn’t even apologize. Instead, he ordered her to accept it, to obey, to bear his pups. Worse? Angelise couldn’t even reject this bastard; doing so would kill her. So she ran-only to collide with the only man her mate had ever feared. Zaerian Daemon Ranvor. The Mute Alpha. He was the devil whom even the Moon Goddess failed to tame. A ruthless ruler who had never bowed to fate. And to Angelise, he was the perfect weapon to bring down her enemies. Zaerian should have killed her for trespassing. Instead, the moment he touched her, something shattered. Her scent drove his beast insane. A mere touch ignited a hunger he had never felt before. He didn’t care if she was his little brother’s fated mate—he wanted her. And he would claim her. Even if marking her meant death for both. ++++ Excerpt: “It’s none of your business who I date, Alpha! Get lost!” I grumbled as Zaerian dragged me into the elevator. “Let me go!” I demanded as the metal doors slid shut. When I tried to pull away, Zaerian caught my other wrist and pressed me against the cold steel wall. His strong hand gripped my wrists firmly, effortlessly pinning them above my head. My breath hitched as his crimson gaze locked onto mine. He didn’t speak. He never did. But his silence was more dangerous than words. Zaerian moved closer, his body pressing against mine, so close that I could feel the heat radiating beneath his shirt. Slowly, he lowered his head until we were face to face, his lips a breath away from mine. “Leave-“ I gasped when Zaerian suddenly slid his knee between my thighs, cutting off the rest of my protest. “It is my business, sweetheart.” The voice was low, raw, and undeniably real. “The only man allowed to touch you is me. It will always be me.” My knees grew weak, heat rushing through my veins. But then my mind froze in realization. Wait… he could speak?!

What is a monster? Humans normally define monsters as fear inducing, bloodthirsty creatures bent on destruction. But to Noah? Monsters were the humans who despised him without justifications, who taught him to loathe himself just for being human. Life was hell, a hell that was surrounded by “monsters”. Until one day, the world changed. Humans were suddenly graced by a Divine voice, one that warned of their extinction, but also promised them power. They were bestowed with a system, a system to aid their fight for survival, to survive against monsters. And when humanity was given that chance to survive, Noah chose to walk a path of a tamer, to befriend the very monsters that were threatening the humans' extinction. As he tamed the monsters, learned from them, bonded with them, shedding the last remnants of what it was to be human. Noah began to wonder, is it wrong to be considered a monster? Feedback is definitely appreciated, good or bad, let's make the story good together. I would like to note that the main character isn’t completely ruthless, he's more chaotically neutral. There’s a lot of good stories out there with ruthless, bloodthirsty, cold hearted main characters so if that’s what your interest in then I’m sorry to disappoint you.

​A Message from the Author: Mr. Zishan ​1. An Unpredictable Journey ​Step into a fantasy realm where boredom does not exist. The flow of the narrative shifts with every volume, ensuring a detailed and immersive world that refuses to follow a predictable path. In this realm, anything can happen, and every chapter is designed to keep you guessing. ​2. The Monster Who Seeks Peace ​Our protagonist, originally known as Haru Ryūzaki, has been reincarnated as the strongest creature alive. Now known as Jee-shahn, he stands seven feet tall—a terrifying "monster" in human form possessing strength that can shatter the greatest beasts. Though he cannot use traditional magic, he possesses the terrifying ability to negate and refuse the very laws that govern this fantasy world. Despite his god-like power, his only desire is to relax and observe the world’s "noise." However, the world rarely lets him rest, forcing us to witness how he navigates his new identity, body, and overwhelming power. ​3. Characters with Soul ​Every character has been crafted with deep complexity and distinct personalities to foster a genuine bond between them and the reader. Alongside my hardworking partner and illustrator, Rin, we have poured our hearts into their designs. We didn’t just create characters; we created companions. We hope you grow to love them as much as we do. ​4. High Stakes and Brutal Realism ​In this story, no one is safe. To maintain a mature and high-stakes atmosphere, death is a very real consequence. Unlike traditional stories where the "hero" always survives, even Jee-shahn faces the threat of death. In times of war, thousands may fall. This realism is what gives the story its "spice" and emotional weight. ​5. A Masterpiece of Contrast ​As the author, my goal is to create a masterpiece that explores the full spectrum of existence—from deep emotional bonds and beautiful romances with various monster races to the brutal reality of life and death. You will find Jee-shahn surrounded by wives, children, students, and millions of followers, all set against a backdrop of comedy, funny rumors, and intense action. ​6. A Unique World-Building Experience ​The structures, creatures, myths, and folklore of this realm are entirely original. While some elements may draw subtle inspiration from the real world, this is a unique universe built from the ground up. ​7. Constant Evolution: From Volume 1 to Volume 2 ​I will admit that Volume 1 moved at a breakneck pace with four overlapping plots, which made the details quite complex. I have taken that feedback to heart for Volume 2. I have slowed the flow and focused on a single, deep plot. While it is 57 pages long, it is ten times more intense, offering deeper world-building and many mysteries that will lead you into the future volumes. ​8. Dense and Impactful Storytelling ​I do not write like traditional authors. My goal is density: one page of my prose is designed to carry the weight of several manga pages, and five pages contain the world-building and "spice" of an entire anime episode. I want every sentence to be valuable, ensuring that whether you love novels, manga, or anime, you are constantly entertained. ​9. A Note to the Readers ​As an author, my motive is to entertain through a mature theme filled with deep world-building and intense emotion. If any element of this brutal world offends or hurts your feelings, please accept my sincere apologies. My goal is simply to create a world that feels alive. ​10. Collaboration and Adaptations ​I am open to my story being adapted into Manga, Webtoons, or Anime. I am happy to provide Saga copies and character designs to interested creators, provided two conditions are met: ​Full credit must be given to me, Mr. Zishan, as the original Author. ​The adaptation must stay true to the "soul" of the story—the brutality, the comedy, and the rumors. If you love the work and respect the style, I would be honored to collaborate. ​11. Final Words ​I have shared enough for

Since the dawn of time, there has always been the question of whether humanity is evil by nature or if it is society that corrupts it. In this story, we will meet Morgan — a kind young man with a pure heart and a deep love for animals. However, his life is suddenly cut short by an illness that leads him to death. It is then that he finds himself before a god of death, ready to devour his soul and merge it with the universe. But in that very moment, another god appears to intervene and offer him help.
