betrayal

As the mask is removed from Valkyrie's head, Alexander surveys her with cold detachment. The people of Dradevows demand her death, their voices a roar of hatred. But Alexander, determined to use her for his own ends, declares to the crowd, "Princess Valkyrie of Narva will soon be my wife and rule beside me!" Valkyrie, already aware of this plan, remains stoic. Despite her family's murder and her own precarious position, she harbors thoughts of revenge. Rather than submitting to death, she sees the marriage as a chance to bide her time and avenge her fallen kingdom. This marriage, she realized, could be her greatest weapon-a means to infiltrate the heart of the Dradevows kingdom and exact her vengeance from within. The gods had not abandoned her; they had merely given her a new battlefield.

Because sometimes, the heart makes its own kind of magic.

In a universe where humanity survives by hunting monsters across hostile planets, Aryan is nothing more than expendable cargo—an F-Rank porter meant to die quietly. Betrayed by his own team and left bleeding in an alien forest, Aryan survives by breaking every rule the System enforces. But survival always demands a price. What awakens inside him is not a Skill… but a King. An ancient will that thrives on control, cruelty, and survival without mercy. When Aryan discovers The Kingfall Codex—a forbidden record revealing that humanity’s so-called Safe Zones are nothing but farms for harvesting souls—the truth becomes impossible to ignore. The System lies. Power is never free. And becoming strong may mean losing himself. To protect his family, his world, and his future, Aryan must walk a path where every victory costs a piece of his humanity. Because in this universe, the greatest threat is not the monsters hiding in the dark… but the King waiting to rise within him.

When he woke up, he discovered he had returned to infancy. His elder brother lay beside him, snoring softly on the other side of the bed. It was five in the morning—early dawn, and from the fragments of memory settling into place, he realized this moment belonged to his junior school years. Tales are often told from a Western perspective: grand quests filled with adventure and magic, heroes and villains, advanced technology and supernatural forces, disasters followed by miracles. But this tale comes from another angle, one of transmigration, of a life reborn into a world on the brink of change. Brian was thirty-five years old, office worker whose life was nearing its end. He suffered from severe diabetes, a condition that gravely threatened his health. Yet he ignored it, continuing on as if time were endless. When misfortune finally struck, regret followed swiftly. In his final moments, he wished he had accepted the invitation. Brian awoke in a parallel world, one strikingly different from his own. Here, the rate of infant mortality was horrifyingly high, nearly absolute. The reason was simple and terrifying: games that children once played for fun in his original world were deadly here. Children’s games were never supposed to be this hard.

Ellora’s marriage to Crown Prince Aster was decided long before love could ever grow. Once bound by childhood affection, they now stand as husband and wife in a palace ruled by appearances and quiet cruelty. As betrayal begins to surface, Ellora’s place beside the crown grows increasingly fragile. When Grand Duke Hayes returns from the North, unspoken feelings and buried memories awaken, shifting the balance of both heart and power. In a world where love is forbidden and loyalty is dangerous, Ellora must decide what she is willing to lose—and what she dares to desire.

In the kingdom of Aurelion, magic is not a gift—it is a discipline. Those who master it attend Crownspire Academy, where nobles train to protect the realm and a handful of commoners are admitted under constant scrutiny. Sorel Pax is one of them. A commoner with no lineage, no patron, and no tolerance for noble cruelty, they struggle to survive in an academy built to remind them they do not belong. Magic at Crownspire is taught as law: precise, controlled, limited. Push too far, and the body overburns. Break the rules, and you disappear. But as attacks shake the kingdom beyond the academy’s walls, rumors spread of a shadowy group known as the Reverent Ash—terrorists who believe magic was never meant to have limits. They claim the ancient gods were not destroyed, only buried, and that the Crown has been lying about the true nature of magic for centuries. When forbidden knowledge surfaces beneath the academy itself, Sorel begins to realize the rules they’ve been taught are incomplete—and possibly deliberate. The terrorists may be wrong about the gods, but they are right about one thing: the kingdom’s greatest weapon is also its greatest lie. Caught between a system that fears change and a movement willing to burn the world for truth, Sorel must decide how far they are willing to push reality—and what they’re willing to lose when it pushes back. Because magic always resists. And the world is closer to breaking than anyone admits.

Luo Qiu became the boss of a ‘club’ by chance. It was a weird club that sold strange items, assisted by a servant girl with 300 years of work experience. Countless people with dreams, hopes and ambitions came to the club, exchanging everything precious they owned just to fulfill their desires. They would offer their lifespan, items, and even their soul. Each successful trade would increase Luo Qiu’s lifespan by a little. “Tribute successful, your lifespan has increased by 99 years.” Thus, Luo Qiu began his endless life as the club’s boss.

“That child is mine. And so are you,” he commanded, his viper-green eyes pinning her in place. Grace couldn’t believe that he—Carlos Benjamin, her new CEO and eight years her junior—was the father of her unborn baby. “You can go back to that deadbeat you call a husband, or you can come with me and have everything.” ===== For the last five years of her marriage, Grace Preston, 32, believed she was broken. She couldn’t have a child, and her deadbeat husband, Charles, never let her forget it, calling her useless while she worked tirelessly to fund his failed acting career. He didn’t just break her spirit; he shattered her trust by cheating on her with her own sister. Heartbroken, Grace fled to her office late one night, seeking solace at the bottom of a bottle. She wasn’t alone. A beautiful, blond-haired man was there, nursing his own wounds. He never told her his name, but he offered her a night of oblivion. Fueled by whiskey and a desperate need for revenge, she gave in to her darkest desires, pulling the willing stranger into her web. In her drunken haze, she thought, “If my husband can have his fun, then so can I.” She never worried about protection, convinced she was barren. Until a month later, when a positive pregnancy test trembled in her hands. Grace Preston, the ‘barren’ wife, was pregnant. In a single night, the stranger gave her what Charles couldn’t in five years. Now Carlos has made his claim, pulling her into a world of immense power and lethal secrets. Will Grace escape her toxic marriage only to be trapped in this captivating young billionaire’s golden cage? Or is trading one prison for another a mistake that will cost her more than just her heart?

“This world is built on lies. If you want to keep it alive, make sure none of them are exposed. They must never reach his ears.” As long as Shuu could remember, these words had governed his life.

“Are you hiding, little bird?” His tone was different from the usual. It wasn't the coo she knew, neither was it the song of calmness that often emanated from him. It was vibrating. An allure that in a dark and dangerous way promised a touch that would drift her alive. Annabelle kept her hand to her mouth, her heart racing past its usual rate. She wondered in that moment—now that she knew what he was—if he could hear her heart beat. As if the universe was sending her a response, she felt him stop. Right above where she hid. Holding a shaky breath, she raised her head, feeling the pressure of his feet on the wood that obscured her view from him. Surely, his ability can't go underground. Surely, the scent of watermelon and potatoes would mask her. Yet…the low chuckle that sounded like a sinister laughter made her heart jump, as her legs gave away. He lifted the wooden pallet, their gazes colliding in a fit of what seems to be prey and predator instinct. A tiny smirk was playing on his face now, the same one she was used to. And the evidence was as glaring as daylight. Blood streak marked his crisp white shirt, drooling down the side of his face to his lips—his hands, a crimson bloody mess against rich skin. The stale of another man's death lingering around him, morphing his aura and forever confirming what he is. What he will always be. “Little bird…” “Please…” A huge palm reached out to pat her nest of hair, definitely leaving behind strokes of blood. The metallic iron scent assaulted her nose in the small space she hid. He was after her heart—an organ she feared he might mean in the literal sense. As she remained in the squatting position, watermelon threatening to squash beneath her knees, she felt his pat. Once. Twice. As soothing as always for a creature like him. “I wished upon you little bird. You cannot run from me.” His words were a promise, a seal that bounded them together. Forever. ■■■■■■■ !!!This book will contain some dark smut chapters but a series of warnings will be issued beforehand. So…you will be fine ^.^
