They executed Victor Graves because he solved problems too completely. Death was supposed to close the file. Instead, he wakes in a forest with no memories and a system that refuses to help. It does not give quests. It does not grant blessings. It does not celebrate victories. It observes. Every wound. Every kill. Every decision. The world is not impressed by competence. It is threatened by it. And if this system is auditing him, Victor intends to pass.

She had everything the world could offer— wealth, power, respect, a loving family, and even the power of gods. Yet she threw it all away for an ancient gem. Now her son, Shade, carries the burden of her sins and the weight of her choice. Branded a monster, hunted by the world, and chased by lies woven into history, he follows the stories she once told him— searching for a man who may not exist, and an answer hidden behind a promise whispered once: 200 years till dawn.

At Orison Academy, every student receives a rank. Five receive something else. During the branding ceremony, they see the future. The academy in ruins. The sky wrong. The world already lost. And at the center of it… Themselves. Riven fights with precision. Cael burns without restraint. Ilyra heals without apology. The others carry fractures no system can measure. Their marks do not register correctly. They are labeled misaligned. Watched. Separated. The academy intends to shape them. The ranking system intends to define them. Neither understands what has already begun. Their magic starts to change - answering differently, slipping alignment, refusing control. They are not chosen to be the strongest. They are chosen because something is coming. When it arrives, rank will mean nothing. If the five stand together, the world might survive. If they fall… There will be no academy left to remember them.

Marella dared to join a school trip to an island in the middle of the sea without her parents' permission because if they found out, she would be forbidden from going, just like before. Since childhood, Marella had always been forbidden from setting foot on the beach, but this time she was more reckless. She never imagined the tragic accident that would sink her into the open sea from a ship hit by a storm. With a broken heart, she sank, inhaling water that made her whole body ache. She closed her eyes as consciousness began to slip away from her. When she awoke, she was greeted harshly by a Siren Prince who accused her of being an intruder from the Mermaid Kingdom because Marella’s legs had transformed into a beautiful fishtail, making it almost impossible for her to believe it. Was this because of the internet ritual she had performed out of boredom the night before? What had actually happened to her? Was this just a coincidence? Or was the sea demanding something from her?

They didn’t get another chance at life to be heroes. They got another chance at each other. Reborn into a world ruled by floors, monsters, and a system that measures worth in survival, they start at the bottom. Weak. Unknown. Replaceable. The dungeon doesn’t care about love. The world doesn’t reward softness. But they refuse to grow apart. Every level cleared, every near-death fight, every fracture in trust forces them to choose the same thing again and again, not power for its own sake, not glory, not revenge. Each other. Soulbound isn’t about one genius rising above the world. It’s about two people learning how to rise together. Slowly. Painfully. Intentionally. Strength earned through trust. Power forged through partnership. Love tested in places that break most bonds. In a world that measures value in levels… They measure it in loyalty.

The city belongs to the blood-stained. The streets are ruled by fear. And the mafia thought it was untouchable. Then came Mafia.exe. No face. No name. No morality. Entire empires crumble overnight. Secrets leak. Alliances shatter. They call him a hacker. They call him a ghost. But he is neither. He is the virus in their veins. The shadow behind every betrayal. The reckoning they never saw coming. And in a world where power is blood… the deadliest weapon isn’t a gun. It’s a mind untamed.

In a world overrun by monstrous creatures and dark entities, humanity is forced to fight back. A renowned organization has developed an advanced evolutionary method to combat these threats, using technology that creates Systems through a combination of neural interfaces, high-tech implants, energy conduits, and Magic Cores. A machine studies each Magic Core, revealing the powers and traits it contains, and fuses them with a compatible human host. Through this process, it channels and amplifies raw magical energy, simulates hidden abilities, and generates extraordinary skills within chosen individuals—allowing them to access the supernatural being’s power and gain strength far beyond normal limits. During combat, each individual System records battle and performance data. The System then evaluates their performance, combining public ratings with its own analysis to produce a final ranking. As the world evolves, many of these dark entities also adapt, learning to blend into society and becoming nearly impossible to detect until it is too late. Ezekiel is chosen to wield the Sorcerer System, granting him the power to control magic. Alongside him are his squadmates, each equipped with their own Systems, combining their abilities to undertake deadly missions. Together, they face formidable enemies, navigate a society where danger can emerge from anywhere, and uncover hidden conspiracies that threaten humanity itself.

The bells were never meant to ring again. In the quiet village of Asterfell, time stops every day at 4:30—just for a second. No one notices. No one remembers. Except Kael. When a long-dead bell tower rings at the forbidden hour, Kael is pulled out of his world and thrown into a realm that exists between seconds—a place of floating doors, broken timelines, and ancient powers that should never awaken. There, he learns the truth. Time is looping. The world has already ended—more than once. And Kael has been here before. Each cycle ends in ruin. Each failure erases history. Each attempt brings the world closer to permanent collapse. At the center of it all is 4:30, the hour when a single choice decides whether time moves forward… or shatters forever. Haunted by visions of a future he doesn’t remember, hunted by beings that guard time itself, and driven by the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Kael must grow stronger with every cycle—learning magic that bends reality, fighting enemies that remember his past lives, and uncovering a truth far darker than destiny. Because the greatest twist isn’t that Kael can reset time. It’s that he might be the reason time is broken. And when the final cycle begins, there will be no reset left.

A horror game feared worldwide becomes "Lin Yu’s new reality" but the real nightmare isn’t the monsters. It’s the truth that the game’s deadliest bosses are his neighbors. The Blood Clan Queen? A freeloading, pint-sized terror who raids his fridge like she owns the place. The hospital director who wipes entire squads? A cheerful matchmaking grandpa downstairs, handing out “romantic advice” like it’s a daily quest. The blood-soaked butcher? A shy, soft-spoken girl upstairs… who politely greets him while her weapon drips red. To everyone else, this world is a slaughterhouse of screams, curses, and impossible boss fights. To Lin Yu, it’s awkward hallway encounters, surprise dinner guests, and trying not to offend beings that can erase a player’s existence with one glance. But the deeper Lin Yu gets pulled into the game, the stranger things become because while players are desperate to escape, the bosses aren’t trying to kill him… They’re watching him. Avoiding him. Even fearing him. And Lin Yu is about to learn the most terrifying rule of all: in this world, "he might be the only one who doesn’t know what he really is."

His tongue was merciless, circling, teasing, bringing me right to the edge...... And then he stopped again. My hips bucked uselessly against his mouth. I moaned in frustration. “Please,” I gasped, hating how desperate I sounded. “Kael—please—” He pulled back just enough to meet my eyes. “Beg me,” he murmured against my slick skin. “Beg me properly, Riley, and maybe I’ll let you come.” How was I craving him.. How can I crave for him. This man kidnapped me. Yet I ache for his touch. I yearn for it. I can't go a day without it. I know this would end badly, yet my heart wants to spend every minute with him. ************************* All Riley Miller wanted was to pay off her loans and forget the empty space inside her. Then Kael Bloodmoon shattered her world. A centuries-old werewolf Alpha, he drags her into a brutal hidden society, claiming she is the last Aethelgard, a human "Keyholder" magically enslaved to his bloodline. Trapped between Kael's raw, possessive fury and the cold, calculating schemes of his brother Kain, Riley finds herself at the center of a pack war while navigating threats from ancient vampires and darker creatures. The magical bond that chains her to Kael is eating her alive, and the only people with answers are the ones using her as a pawn. To survive, Riley must learn who to trust in a world of monsters, even if the most dangerous one is the possessive, broken king who claims she belongs to him.

This is Book 2 of The Soulfire Chronicles. The Rise of the Flamebearer told the story of how I survived. This is the story of what it cost me. Alaric and Evelyne, my beloved husband and dear cousin, two people I trusted and loved, betrayed me with each other and had me burned alive. My mother sacrificed her life to bring me back before my execution date. I remembered every betrayal before it happened, and I used all of it. The affair. The stolen assets. The lies he told to keep me caged. I filed for divorce, gained the Empress's approval, and walked out of that marriage with fire in my blood and three awakening trials behind me. Alaric now sits under house arrest and under investigation. Duke Caelan Vorenthal was my husband's greatest rival. He was also my ally, my protector, and the man I never planned on wanting. I built something real with him while I was tearing my husband apart. Then news arrived of his demise. His unit destroyed. No survivors found. I don't get to fall apart. The wards protecting seventeen estates are failing, and my blood is the only thing that can hold them. Eight months to stabilize everything and reach the final trial. If I fail, the collapse begins and it won't stop. Something bigger has been moving behind all of this. I can feel it. I just can't name it yet. Here comes Crown Prince Thalion. He thinks I'm dangerous, said so to my face, and now he's assigned as my escort because he doesn't trust anyone else to do it. Eight months with this man's eyes on my every move. He wasn't supposed to be part of this. He's becoming something I didn't plan for, and the way he looks at me when he thinks I can't see it is becoming harder to ignore. I was bred to obey. I burned. I came back. And I'm not finished. Regression | Enemies-to-Lovers | Forced Proximity | Slow Burn | Political Intrigue | R18

Thomas Hale is just a chef—until people stop fighting when they eat his food. He runs a small London restaurant, loves his wife completely, and believes a good meal can fix almost anything. What he doesn’t know is that his wife is an MI6 assassin, a werewolf, and part of a hidden world that answers only to the Crown. While Thomas jokes about bad mushrooms and worries about his five-year-old daughter’s unsettling questions, monsters hesitate, deals soften, and violence pauses in his presence. And as secrets tighten and institutions circle closer, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: the most dangerous man in the room is the one who has no idea he’s dangerous at all. --------------------------------------------------- Hi I will try increase my word count for each chapter and will try release 15 to 20 chapters a week.

Zhen Yu Woon was born into Murim’s brutal hierarchy as the nephew of the Crimson Demon Lord, destined to follow the rules of cultivation, politics, and bloodlines. But his true identity is far darker: a remnant of an evil god from outside the universe, trapped in a mortal body. To reclaim his full power, Yu Woon must rise above every sect, clan, and disciple that dares stand in his way—while wearing the mask of a righteous prodigy. As he learns forbidden techniques, strikes down rivals, and bends the laws of life and death, even the strongest guardians and wardens tremble before him. In a world of hidden agendas, secret wars, and ancient legacies, Yu Woon discovers that ultimate power demands ultimate sacrifice—and that even the guise of a hero can hide the most terrifying evil.

A thousand years ago, creatures of unknown origin descended upon modern civilization. Weapons failed. Cities fell. Humanity was driven to the brink of extinction. In the centuries that followed, nature reclaimed the world. Skyscapers crumbled beneath vines and moss. Highways split apart as rivers carved new paths through the earth. Forests swallowed entire cities, and shifting lands gave birth to new continents. The age of humanity ended — and a wilder world took its place. Euri is a young survivor in this reborn world, raised in a small, fragile village carved from the ruins of the past. Life is harsh but peaceful — until the day a monstrous entity descends from the heavens and annihilates everything he has ever known. Left with nothing but grief and rage, Euri learns the creature was not a random horror, but a divine envoy — a beast sent by a god. Now, in a world ruled by ancient monsters, forgotten ruins, and powers beyond human understanding, Euri sets out on a relentless journey of vengeance. He will climb from survivor to slayer… …and kill the god who destroyed his world.

They gave me a curse so I could never cultivate. They killed my mother to steal her power. They killed my father and called it justice. They laughed at me, beat me, and called me "Cursed Trash." But on the night they came to finish me off — the curse awakened. It was never a curse. It was my mother's final gift — the power to devour the Dao of Gods themselves. Every enemy I defeat, I grow stronger. Every God who stands in my way becomes my stepping stone. Sect Master, Immortals, Gods, the Void Sovereign himself — I will devour them all. My name is Ye Chen. And I don't cultivate. I Devour.

If I’m already the villain… I might as well rewrite the story. Waking up as Shigaraki Tomura years before canon should have meant one thing—eventually becoming All For One’s successor and the future enemy of hero society. He has no intention of letting that happen. With a newly awakened system and knowledge of what’s coming, he decides to take control of his own fate. Instead of blindly following the path laid out for Shigaraki, he begins building something different: influence in the underworld, a growing circle of villains… and a second identity meant to walk straight into U.A. His first step comes during the Sludge Villain incident, where he publicly intervenes, defeats the villain, and introduces himself to the world as someone who stands on the side of those labeled “evil.” Heroes see a dangerous new figure. All Might sees a threat to society’s ideals. But to the forgotten and rejected, he might be something else entirely. This is the story of a Shigaraki who refuses to be a pawn—and intends to change hero society from both sides.

They tried to break him. Instead, something inside him started laughing. Five years before the Uchiha Massacre, a forgotten seal beneath Konoha is disturbed. Uchiha Ren eats what was never meant to exist in this world. His body twists beyond chakra. Lightning disperses. Blades bounce. Seals fail. Root calls him an anomaly. The Uchiha call him a weapon. Konoha calls him a threat. Ren calls it freedom. As the village tightens its grip and fate moves toward slaughter, one boy refuses to bend. And when the drums begin to roar— Even gods will hesitate.
