betrayal

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Some contracts are written in ink. His was written in blood and he never signed it. Dante Kōgetsu is the best at what he does. No target too difficult. No contract refused. No emotion wasted. He built his reputation on one principle: finish the job and walk away clean. Then a contract arrived with a photograph inside. Her face. Sophie Arisaka. The only person who ever made him feel like a human being rather than a weapon. He faked her death, lied to the client, and told himself it was a calculated decision. It was not. Now he is hunting the anonymous man who ordered her death and every step closer reveals a truth he is not ready for. The man behind the contract is Edward Yashiro. His oldest friend. A person who loved Sophie, lost her, and let that loss rot into something unrecognizable. What Dante does not know yet is that Edward knows everything. The demons Dante carries inside him Kairo and Mūn were not accidents. They were placed there deliberately, by someone who chose him before he was old enough to refuse. And every time Dante uses their power, he pays a price no one warned him about. He loses her. Not Sophie herself. The memories of her. One by one. Quietly. Irreversibly. The job was supposed to be simple. It became a war against an old friend, against the man who made him, and against the clock running silently inside his own mind. Some things cannot be unforgiven. Some prices cannot be unpaid. Some contracts were never meant to end.

The world did not end all at once. It broke — and then it kept breaking. After the sky fell on Terrosia, what remained was ash, silence, and children trying to survive among ruins that still burned. Cities lay hollow. The old boundaries were gone. And beyond the cracked streets, things that had never belonged there began to roam. Three brothers endured that aftermath together. Ryu burned through danger with reckless momentum, always moving, always pushing forward. Luto learned to think before the world could crush him, measuring risk where others panicked. And Onyx watched quietly — steady, observant, carrying weight that never left his shoulders. They did not grow up as heroes. They grew up surviving. Years passed in fragments — scavenged meals, narrow escapes, unspoken rules learned too young. The bond between them wasn’t forged by destiny, but by repetition. By habit. By the simple truth that none of them would still be alive alone. For a while, that was enough. Then Onyx disappeared. Taken not by monsters or chance, but by something deliberate — something that moved with purpose and left no answers behind. Whatever reached for him did not come from Terrosia… and it did not come by accident. Ryu and Luto refuse to accept the silence that follows. Their search drags them beyond the wreckage of their home and into a wider reality filled with fractured worlds, watching eyes, and forces that act from a distance, rarely revealing themselves and never explaining their reasons. Each step forward raises more questions than it answers — about the disaster that shattered their world, about the beings that now seem to be paying attention, and about why Onyx mattered enough to be taken. This is not a story of chosen saviors or instant rebellion. It is a story of brothers shaped by loss, moving forward without certainty. The sky has already fallen once. And somewhere beyond it, something is waiting.

This story begins during the canon timeline, bridges world-breaking events, and continues past the series finale. Dracule Marya Zaleska has always lived in the shadow of her father, Dracule Mihawk, the world’s greatest swordsman. But Marya is no ordinary heir to a legendary name. Gifted with the enigmatic Oni-Oni no Mi (Mist-Mist Fruit), she wields the power to summon spectral apparitions and manipulate the veil between the living and the dead. Yet, this power is both a blessing and a curse, as it binds her to a destiny she does not yet understand. Determined to escape her father’s towering legacy, Marya sets out on a journey to uncover the truth about her mother, a woman shrouded in mystery who sacrificed herself to protect a secret so profound it could shake the foundations of the world. Along the way, Marya discovers fragments of her mother’s past—clues that lead her to ancient ruins, forgotten battles, and a conspiracy that ties her family to the origins of the Devil Fruits themselves. As Marya delves deeper into the mysteries of her lineage, she navigates treacherous seas, faces off against ruthless enemies, and uncovers the truth about the Mist-Mist Fruit’s dark origins. But the closer Marya gets to the truth, the more she realizes that her parents’ sacrifices were not just for her sake—they were to protect the world from a looming catastrophe. As the line between ally and enemy blurs, Marya must confront the darkness within herself and decide whether to embrace her Mist-Mist powers or reject them to forge her own path. "Dracule Marya Zaleska: Oni Phantom - Devil Fruit Origins" is a tale of legacy, sacrifice, and self-discovery. In a world where the past and present collide, Marya’s journey will reveal the secrets her parents died to protect and challenge her to rise above the shadows of her name to become a legend in her own right. Will she uncover the truth in time to save the world, or will the weight of her legacy consume her? #FinalSaga #PostCanon #BridgeLore #PostTimeskip #CanonExpansion #WorldBuilding #HighWordCount #DailyUpdate

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. And... humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air... as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power... No future... Tyler was born into that world... a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon... not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend to become the strongest of the demons. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/nQEBsk3ZGX *** #Yandere_MC #Complex_Characters #No_Harem #Dark #Rare_Bloodline #Magic #Slowburn #Fated_Love #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #Runic_Sorcery #Evil_FL

How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend When his older sister is left emotionally shattered after a painful breakup, Jae-min makes a reckless decision—he’ll get revenge on the man who ruined her. That man is Kang Jihan: twenty-five, wealthy, polished, charming, and infuriatingly untouchable. To everyone else, Jihan is the perfect heir with a perfect smile. But to Jae-min, he’s the reason his sister can no longer smile the same way. So Jae-min comes up with a plan. He’ll get close to Jihan. Make him fall in love. Make him trust him. And when Jihan is at his weakest, Jae-min will leave him broken—just like his sister was. It should have been easy. Jae-min is young, attractive, and bold enough to turn flirtation into a weapon. He knows exactly what he’s doing… or at least he thinks he does. But the closer he gets to Jihan, the more his revenge begins to unravel. Because beneath the effortless charm and cold perfection is a man far lonelier—and far more dangerous—than Jae-min expected. What was supposed to be a game of seduction becomes something messier, darker, and impossible to control. The lies grow heavier. The lines between revenge and desire blur. And when Jihan finally discovers who Jae-min really is, Jae-min is forced to face the one thing he never planned for: What if the person he wanted to destroy becomes the one person he can’t let go of? In a story of guilt, obsession, and revenge gone terribly wrong, How Did It End Up With My Sister’s Ex-Boyfriend is a psychological BL about two people who enter each other’s lives with secrets—then stay long enough to ruin themselves for real.

“For years I have tried to tell you I was innocent, and what did you do?” “Briar, please,” Cassian tried to say. “It’s not like that―” “Like what?” I spat. “Not like you’ve tormented me my whole life? Not like you’ve used me and tried to have me killed?” “There was a reason for it,” Rowan tried to say. His eyebrows were furrowed together tightly as he took a step forward. He reached for my hand, and I quickly stepped back. Hurt flashed across his eyes. “We didn’t know―” “Of course you didn’t,” I said with a humorless laugh. “All you did was listen to the lies Violet told you. Even though I am your fated mate, you’ve ignored all my pleas to just listen to what I had to say.” “Briar, please listen to us,” Soren said. His eyes were red with desperation. “Please give us another chance.” “No,” I said, shaking my head. “I’m done waiting. I’m done hurting.” I met their gaze, mustering all the strength I had. I ignored the way their mark on my neck burned in protest. “You’ve made your bed,” I said. “Now it’s time to lie in it.” *** Briar Argyris was born into power, the youngest daughter of the revered Beta family of the Shadowclaw Pack―until the day she vanished. Kidnapped as a child and presumed dead, Briar returned years later, broken and bloodied at the border of her homeland. But her family had already moved on. Her sister, Willow, had grown into a prodigal daughter. As such, there was no room for the forgotten daughter. From the moment she came home, Briar was treated like a curse. Her presence seemed to poison Willow, and as such, Briar was forced to stay far away from her―in the omegas’ quarters. When Willow supposedly died, Briar's fate was sealed. The pack believed she was the murderer, and no one was willing to listen to her pleas. Until the Moon Goddess intervened. Right before her execution―her 18th birthday―Briar's destiny was revealed. She was the fated mate of not one, but three Alphas. Rowan. Soren. Cassian Hadeon. Childhood friends of Willow. Heirs of the Shadowclaw Pack. And her greatest tormentors. They wanted nothing to do with her―convinced she had destroyed the girl they loved, and fueled by the lies of Violet, Willow’s best friend. To them, Briar was nothing but a cruel joke of fate. Trapped in a bond she didn’t choose, hated by the men fate bound her to, Briar is determined to survive―even if her heart shatters in the process. Because the truth is still buried. And when it finally surfaces, the Alphas will learn that the girl they rejected is not only their true mate―she’s the key to everything they thought they lost. But will Briar still want them back after everything they've done? After all, the moon shines brighter outside the Shadowclaw Pack. Just because the triplets are dumb enough to let their fated mate go, doesn't mean that others will do the same... *** Updates 2-4 times a week for the month of April. Daily updates starting in May.
