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.

Fin Harrington has everything: old-money billions, a devoted girlfriend, and a mother whose iron grip on the family empire has kept their legacy untouchable for generations. He is gentle, generous, and utterly secure in the belief that love and loyalty are unbreakable. Then Mike arrives—a charismatic stranger with no visible wealth but an uncanny ability to read weakness like an open book. Mike slips into Fin's world with effortless charm: a fake investment that yields impossible returns, quiet jokes that make Clara laugh in ways Fin never could, and a predatory patience that turns every casual touch into a promise. What begins as innocent flirtation becomes corruption. Clara, once content in Fin's safe embrace, finds herself haunted by memories of Mike's raw hunger—the way his hands claim, the way his body demands surrender. She fights it, clings to her love for Fin, but the forbidden thrill erodes her resolve until one night she crosses the line she swore she never would. As Clara drifts further, Mike turns his gaze to the ultimate prize: Eleanor Harrington, the aristocratic matriarch who views all men as inferiors and surrounds herself with security that no outsider should breach. Mike has no fortune, no title, only ruthless cunning and an unshakeable certainty that every fortress has a crack. Fin watches his life unravel—first in suspicion, then in helpless voyeurism. He spies, he waits, he justifies, but each discovery strips away another layer of his dignity. The women he loves are no longer his; the wealth he inherited is quietly siphoned away; the man he thought he was dissolves into a broken spectator. *** NTR - R18 - Harem - Incest - Humiliation - Corruption - Degradation - Netorare - Netori - Netorase.

That is until a series of seemingly small encounters would result in a butterfly effect that would change the course of history forever.

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.

Life is dark and meaningless. That was what it had taught every single day I'd been cursed to live it. And now, finally, it was coming to an end. 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?

#BoyLove #DanMei #Painful #Tragic #Mature #SliceOfLife #DarkFantasy Genre: Danmei, Boylove, Palace Intrigue, Male Courtesan, Angst, Hurt Author: HuaLuoShenYang Synopsis Is there truly a parent in this world cold-hearted enough to abandon their own flesh and blood? The answer is a resounding yes. Shi Yan Si was neither an exception nor the only one, but he stood as a testament to those whose childhood scars lingered like a lifelong shadow, drifting like a ghost on the fringes of humanity. Abandoned since birth, he was like a fledgling bird crawling through a desolate forest before its wings could even sprout. His only choice: to plunge into the abyss or to struggle for survival, waiting for his wings to grow so he could teach himself to fly. Tragically, those wings grew twisted and frail. Driven by a desperate hunger for affection, he lost himself in the labyrinth of desire. His obsessive love for his sworn brother led them both down a path of betrayal and sin, culminating in the ultimate agony—his eyes were gouged out by the very man he adored. With his own hands, he cast himself straight into a hell of carnal suffering. From the moment of his first breath to the flickering remains of his last, cold neglect and brutal torment followed him like a curse. Only when his spirit was a mere wisp of smoke did he finally stumble upon a fragment of peace called eternity. Love had become a distant, fading mirage—no longer a dream, no longer a hope.

Shinya Akame was born marked. Half Imperial, half Metonym, he grew up as the village’s favourite thing to hate. Then one night in the forbidden woods, something ancient found him. Wrath. Now it lives in his blood, healing wounds that should kill him and whispering for more. The church has a name for people like him: marked children. But the Sin that claimed Shinya can’t seem to take him completely, and nobody knows why. The army sends him to the front as a slave. The church sentences him to die. He escapes with the girl he loves and keeps running, through lawless borderlands and bounty contracts, until a powerful man in the Empire offers him a deal he can’t refuse. The history everyone swears by doesn’t add up, and every answer Shinya finds makes the world stranger. Every step carries him toward the worst day it has ever seen. And he will be the one to bring it. (No AI was used in the writing of this story.)

Vael Dusk arrived in Kuala Lumpur with forty-three dollars, a duffel bag, and two years worth of running behind him. He wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking for enough money to disappear — somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, somewhere the dead couldn't find him. He'd left the Army with a discharge paper that said *cleared* and a head that said otherwise. Four men were buried because of a call he made. He'd been paying for it ever since in the only currency he had left — movement. Never stop. Never sit still. Never let the quiet catch up. The quiet caught up anyway. It always does. One night in The Pit — Kuala Lumpur's most brutal underground fight ring — changed everything. Vael won. Not cleanly. Not carefully. He won the way a man wins when he has nothing left to protect, which is the most dangerous way there is. Victor Shen was watching from the shadows. Victor Shen is always watching. What follows is a descent. Through the underground circuit of Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, back to KL — where fighters are assets, loyalty is a leash, and the only way out is through. Vael will rise through ranks built on blood and debt and silence. He will find Raza, who sees what he is and trains him anyway. He will find Danny, who looks up to him with the specific trust of someone too young to know better. He will find Mei Lin — Victor's own niece, dismantling the empire from inside it, the one person in this world who looks at Vael and sees past the veil to whatever lives underneath. He will lose them. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to break something in him that was already cracked. Enough to turn the hidden thing loose. This is not a story about a fighter who becomes a champion. It's a story about a man who carries a demon he can barely control, in a world that will do everything it can to make him stop trying. *Some men enter the circuit looking for money.* *Some enter looking for glory.* *Vael Dusk entered looking for nothing.* *That made him the most dangerous man in the room.*

He was never supposed to become her husband. Yuuta Kounari was nothing more than an ordinary culinary student living a quiet life on Earth until a mysterious Dragon Queen appeared before him and declared that he would become her husband. There was only one problem. She had no intention of accepting him. To Erza Veyla Dragomir, the White Dragon Empress of Atlantis, Yuuta was merely an accident she wished had never happened. Cold, ruthless, and feared by gods and dragons alike, she would rather wage war against the world than bow before fate. Yet fate had already chosen. As forgotten memories awaken, ancient demons emerge from the shadows, and kingdoms prepare for war, Yuuta discovers that his existence was never ordinary. A hidden past, a forgotten civilization, and a power buried deep within his soul begin pulling him toward a truth that could change both Earth and Nova forever. To protect the family he cherishes, uncover the mystery of his origin, and stand beside the woman who refuses to acknowledge him, Yuuta must grow stronger even if that means walking through the horrors of the Soul Realm itself. Because sometimes... The greatest enemy isn't destiny. It's the truth waiting at its end. Join my discord Discord: https://discord.gg/Z97qm22k2Q
