betrayal

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

In Aurelis, divinity is not a birthright—it is a brutal craft carved into bone and blood. At the summit of this vertical spiral city, the Thirteen Stigmata Families harvest power under an eternal sun. At its roots, in the suffocating abyss of the "Cinder Favelas," the forgotten rot amidst the dust of fallen gods. Kaelen was born to be the pride of the First Family, until his birth triggered the Eclipse Anomaly. To prevent his dark omen from tainting the clouds, the Elders branded him a curse. They systematically stripped the glowing "Sun-Core" from his spine, gouged out his eyes, and discarded his broken frame into the trash chutes of the Ninth Tier. Sixteen years later, a forbidden blood sacrifice shatters the seal. Kaelen rises from the corpse piles of the abyss. His right eye no longer burns with gold; it is replaced by a Pitch-Black Eclipse capable of devouring the very Stigmata that once defined him. "You stole my light. Now, I shall grant you the Night." This is a climb through nine layers of hell. Kaelen will hunt them one by one, reclaiming his thirteen stolen cores from the thrones above. He seeks no redemption. He craves no throne. He only wants to watch the Golden City crumble as the sun finally goes dark.

From virgin to Ryker's play toy, Rowan's obsession and Corvin's lustful desire. Amaris is that good girl turn bitch! ******* Sold to the father. Fated to the sons. Desired by all three. Amaris Storme was sent as an arranged mate, a peace offering to a cold, grieving Alpha who refuses to touch her. But the moment she steps into his territory, everything goes wrong. Because the bond doesn’t choose him. It chooses his heirs. One twin wants her out of spite. One twin wants her but cannot claim her. The father wants nothing, until he wants everything. Father and sons are driven onto opposite sides, each pulled toward the same woman they should not want. Old wounds reopen and the pack begins to split from the inside out with Amaris at the center of the storm. She was never meant to belong to them all. Now none of them are willing to let her go. Three Alpha wolves. One forbidden bond.

The Blood Immortal was once the most feared being in history—a cultivator who ruled through slaughter, whose power grew with every life taken. With absolute control over blood, he could shape it into weapons, armor, beasts, and even living constructs. Nations trembled. Immortals bowed. Until betrayal ended him. Murdered by his most trusted disciple at the peak of his reign, the Blood Immortal vanished from history. A thousand years later, he awakens reborn into the body of a weak child from an ordinary family—in a world utterly unfamiliar to him. Mana has replaced spiritual qi. Aura wielders dominate the battlefield. Monsters roam freely. Ten supreme families control civilization. And a Demon King stirs in the shadows. Everything he once knew is gone. Everyone he once loved… dead. But blood still flows. As his memories return, so does his obsession with power—now tempered by loss, caution, and a growing understanding that reckless slaughter will only invite annihilation in this new era. Enrolling in an academy for the awakened, he hides his true nature while secretly refining a path of blood cultivation unseen by mana or aura users. To the world, he is a talented prodigy. To the great families, he is a dangerous anomaly. To the Demon King, he is a future rival. And to himself? A monster deciding whether he will once again become a tyrant… or something far more terrifying.

It is impossible for a police officer to fall in love with a criminal. That’s what Riley believed. That’s what she was trained to believe. Riley Knox goes undercover knowing exactly what she’s walking into. A powerful CEO. A spotless public image. And rumours of ties to an organisation that has ruined lives and vanished without a trace. Her job is simple: observe, listen, gather proof, and get out. No attachments. No mistakes. But nothing stays simple for long. The more time Riley spends around Nathaniel, the harder it becomes to separate the role she’s playing from the feelings she’s trying to ignore. He isn’t what she expected. He’s careful, quiet and controlled. And somehow, in the middle of lies and half-truths, something real begins to grow between them. Then there’s Melanie. She isn’t part of the investigation, but she becomes impossible to overlook. A child caught between distance and discipline, acting out because it’s the only way to be seen. Loving too loudly in a house that doesn’t know how to love gently. Riley never meant to care, but caring happens anyway. All three of them are struggling in their own way. Riley with the weight of her duty. Nathaniel with the secrets he refuses to let go of. Melanie with emotions she doesn’t yet know how to name. Somehow, without meaning to, they begin to lean on one another. Not perfectly. Not safely. But honestly. And that’s where everything starts to fall apart. Because love built on secrets doesn’t stay hidden forever. And when the truth finally comes out, Riley will have to choose between the badge she swore to honour and the people she never planned to love. The question is not whether love can survive danger. It’s whether anyone walks away from it unbroken.

They say an Alpha without a wolf is no Alpha at all. For ten years, Rhys has ruled as the most feared Alpha in the western territory—without ever shifting. Until Elise Winters walks into his territory—and his wolf comes back wrong. Stronger. Wilder. Fixated. On her. Elise is practical, stubborn, and completely unprepared for what she’s inherited. Rhys knew what she was to him the moment she stepped through his door. And he knows this— If he claims her, if he lets his wolf fully return, it won’t just change him. It could cost him his pack. His throne. And her life.

In the beginning, there was only the Primordial Mind, and from this mind sprang of all existence; from the stars to the planets, the cosmos, and even Life and Death... But in time, it became divided against itself, two fragments; Thought (The Mysterious), and Action, (The Chaotic) warring over existence with irreconcilable ferocity, forcing their very source into the captivity of its consciousness, leaving all of creation in precariously delicate ungoverned balance... Millennia later, that balance shatters. Marduk— the God-Eater, seeking absolute supremacy, destroys the Fate Well; the cosmic anchor of all karmic flows, and then, the Chaos of the Infinite ensued... Dimensions fractured, Realms spilled into each other. Gods fell. Deities descended. Magic and energy souped into chaos... The living began to die, the dead began to rise, and the very laws of reality began to warp, accelerating all of creation towards its inevitable oblivion... Beings - Beasts - Gods - Monsters, both Orthodox and Unorthodox; all sought chances from the scattered remnants of the Fate well, and power from its ineffable pardox... Yet right at the center of this Chaos, Valen—God of Riddles, gazed into the madness and found truth; Valen found the Primordial Idea; fuse Thought and Action, consume the Primordial Mind and remake creation in his own Image... But in the heart of a self-crumbling tribe, a boy lies on a sacrificial altar, once labeled a failure, a “Void Soul” in the eyes of shamans, public, and even his own kindred; Soren, the Third Heir, and the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son—the universe’s final mortal anchor suffered the most tragic of betrayals, and was eventually schemed unto death... His death was meant to be ordinary, but fate had other plans; coinciding his death with the exact moment the Fate Well shattered. The for a infinitesimally brief moment, the Primordial Mind stirred, and gazed into the cosmic mess and found its answer; the perfect vessel to herald its reawakening... Soren reawakens into his seven-year-old body, now as the universe’s blank canvas, only tainted by the will of the primordial mind. Harbouring a Renegade Primal Goddess; Ji Min—the only survivor of Marduk's insatiable conquest, Soren must dive into the chaotic madness with nothing but the golden finger of all golden fingers... Accompanied by his fated twelve, He must navigate betrayal, war, love, and ambition on His journey of vengeance, ascension, and cosmic reckoning... For Soren, survival is just the beginning; To prevent the looming oblivion, he must transcend mortal and divine limits and become the Herald of the Primordial Mind, an entity seeking to bring either Absolution or Oblivion to the world it felt betrayed it... This is a 2,000-chapter epic biography of the fall of an Heir, to the rise of a Fate-defining god. It is a tale of survival, mastery, and the staggering cost of destiny... Enjoy...

"Sign it. I don't want your money, and I don't want your daughter." For seven years, Rong Ci endured CEO Feng Tingshen’s freezing indifference. She thought her deep love could eventually melt his heart of ice. Instead, he fell in love at first sight with another woman. The final straw wasn't his neglect. It was flying thousands of miles on her birthday, only to find him treating that woman like a queen. It was watching the daughter she raised with her own hands tug on the other woman's dress, begging her to be her new mommy. In that moment, Rong Ci's heart died. She left the divorce agreement on the table, abandoned her custody rights, and walked away without looking back. Everyone laughed, waiting for the abandoned housewife to crawl back to the Feng family. Instead, Rong Ci returned to the business world and effortlessly built an empire worth hundreds of billions. Now a flawless, untouchable billionaire queen, she waited for her divorce certificate. But it never came. The cold, noble CEO who once loathed coming home now blocked her against the wall, his eyes red with desperate obsession. "Divorce?" his voice trembled. "Rong Ci... even if I die, I won't let you go."

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

In a world where the night is not a sanctuary, but a slaughterhouse, the Moon is a god of execution. 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. His hair has split into shades of purple and black, and a hunger grows within him that only blood can satisfy. To save his soul, Oolka must allow a cold-hearted Master to bind her brother’s jaw with a Steel Prayer Seal and teach her the forgotten Arts of the blade. Carrying the mysterious Triangle Mark of the legendary first slayer, Yortaka, Oolka joins the Hankure—an elite group of warriors hunting the King of Kebaruke, Izan. Alongside a wild boy raised by foxes and a girl obsessed with the speed of Heaven, Oolka must navigate a path of fire and frost. But as Izan grows desperate—slowly turning human due to a traitor’s injections—he unleashes his ultimate weapon: Ailiska, the 8-eyed King of the First Era, and Oolka's own blood-ancestor. 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.

What Lives Beneath the Veil --- She smiles. You trust her. That is your first mistake. Your last mistake is breathing. --- THE PREMISE Every monster wears a mask. The most dangerous ones wear innocence. Princess Liora Veyne is born without a soul. No one notices. Not her family. Not her kingdom. Not the countless victims who will one day die smiling because she told them everything would be fine. She learns early: the world trusts a sweet face. So she gives them one. Eyes wide. Voice soft. Smile gentle. The perfect princess. The harmless girl. The last thing you will ever see. Behind the mask: centuries of blood. --- THE CURSE Her 101st victim does not die quietly. He dies cursing. No lover will ever satisfy you. You will crave endlessly—always hungry, never full. Every person who touches you will become your next sacrifice. The curse does not break her. It perfects her. Now she hunts differently. Not with violence. With seduction. Every willing body becomes a ritual. Every night of pleasure becomes a countdown to death. She traps them with charm, consumes them with hunger, and adds their power to her own. The craving never stops. Neither does she. --- THE CYCLE Across centuries, they come. Heroes. Warriors. Chosen ones. They gather their allies. They forge their weapons. They believe—foolishly, beautifully—that this time will be different. It is never different. She defeats them all. Not in battle. In trust. She learns their names. Their hopes. Their weaknesses. She becomes whatever they need—a friend, a lover, a savior—and destroys them when they are too broken to fight back. Their bodies fuel her immortality. Their screams become her lullaby. And the mask never slips. --- THE HORROR She watches kingdoms burn. Empires crumble. Stars die. She adapts. Evolves. Wears new faces in every era. Medieval castles. Industrial cities. Digital worlds. The future. The mask changes. The hunger does not. She is immortal. Insatiable. Unstoppable. And no one knows. Not the heroes who die trying to stop her. Not the families who weep at her "tragic" funerals. Not the world that calls her good. The veil has never lifted. It never will. --- THE TRUTH This is not a story about redemption. The villainess does not learn to love. The curse does not break. The heroes do not win. This is a story about failure. Eternal, absolute, hopeless failure. Every hero falls. Every lover dies. Every attempt to stop her makes her stronger. The cycle has no end. The hunger has no cure. The mask has no crack. She walks among you now. She smiles at you now. And you will never, ever know. --- "She has been wearing the veil for a thousand years. You will never see what lives beneath." --- End of Synopsis CONTENT WARNING: This series contains explicit sexual violence, human sacrifice, psychological torture, murder of innocent characters (including children and family members), ritualistic killing, and extreme horror.

ALTERNATIVE TITLE: THREE FOR A SECOND CHANCE. BLURB I had desired to have a child of my own. To show the world I wasn't an unfit Luna. To make Alex a father and express my love for him. The moon goddess seemed to hear my desires, and she granted them. I had held the result firmly in my hands, excited to tell my husband, but then I was met with a scene of betrayal. He was on our matrimonial bed with my best friend Eva. Heartbroken and disoriented, after various tortures, I found a way to escape his clutches with one Vow in mind: "I must protect my Pup!" I fell into the hands of three powerful Alpha triplets, but now they call me by a name I cannot recognize. Would they still look at me with so much desire if they found out I have a pup growing in my belly? **** "Theresa! Come with us!" Their voices echoed loudly in my head as I stared at them puzzled. "I am not Theresa, and I am going nowhere with you!" I said out loud, my voice firm. Leonard leaned in closer, his breath hot against my skin, "I promise Theresa, we would treat you right this time!" "Just give us another chance!" Lugard said, as he brushed his fingers against my skin. "Allow us to treat you right!" Lawrence muttered, as he searched my eyes deeply waiting for a confirmation. I could only stare at them puzzled, unaware of the right decision to make, but I couldn't ignore the way my body reacted towards them.
