[ WARNING : CONTAINS SMUT/ MATURE CONTENT FROM CHAPTER 102] Delia's life was a cruel reality: the neglected and abused illegitimate daughter of a noble family, the Ellington family, she yearned for the love of her stepmother, Baroness Augusta, and younger sister, Lady Anne, who relentlessly mistreated her. Her world crumbled when she discovered a double betrayal: her beloved husband, Lord George had secretly pined for Anne, marrying Delia only to be near her sister. Simultaneously, her step mother framed her for a crime Anne committed. Overwhelmed and heartbroken, Delia's attempt to escape a death sentence led to a fatal carriage accident. But death was not the end. Delia awoke one year in the past, finding herself still engaged to George. This was her second chance, and the naive girl was gone, replaced by a woman consumed by a burning desire for revenge. Her first target: Duke Eric Carson, the powerful and wealthy man her sister Anne desperately pursued. Delia boldly approached Eric with a proposition for a contract marriage. To her surprise, Eric agreed, but with a condition: their fake marriage would become real and they can go their separate way after a year, hiding his own secret agenda. Now, armed with Eric's unexpected devotion and his willingness to lay down his life for her, Delia meticulously begins to dismantle her family's world. With Eric's help, she exposes the secrets they hide, manipulates their desires, and turns them against each other, orchestrating George’s demotion, Anne's downfall and seizing everything her sister coveted, including Duke Eric love and obsession. Will Delia and Eric be able to conquer all odds to get what they want? What happens when Eric doesn’t want their contract marriage to end? What happens when the last petal that indicates her second chance falls? ——————— EXCPRET “I can’t return your feelings, your grace,” Delia whispered, her back against the cool wall. “But I can,” Eric murmured, stepping closer. Delia’s voice trembled. “It’s not the same.” She choked out. “ No one can love me without hurting me.” “Then teach me,” he said, his breath warm on her cheek. “Teach me how to love you the way you deserve to be loved. I’m a quick study.” When she stayed silent, he sighed contentedly, a soft smile playing on his lips. “It’s alright. Just… use me. Anything you need. if you want money, ask the treasury, take as much money that’s needed. if you want power, use my name. if you want security and love, use my body.” His breath warmed her skin, his chest rose and fell with hers. "As long as it's from you, I'm happy."

Meet Jake Vance. A gentle, empathetic 21st-century high school history teacher, he knows all about the great tragedies of the past. From the safety of his classroom, he lectures on the brutal cost of power, knowing he could never wield it himself. He is a good man in a world that has little use for one. After a particularly draining day, he goes to sleep, only to awaken to the biting cold of a cheap room and the coarse feel of unfamiliar clothes. The world of smartphones and apathy is gone, replaced by the fervor, paranoia, and smoke-filled rooms of the early 20th century. He is no longer Jake Vance. He is now Ioseb "Soso" Jughashvili, a hardened revolutionary, a poet-turned-bank-robber for the Bolshevik cause. He is a young man on a path that Jake knows, with sickening certainty, leads to the Gulags, the purges, and the deaths of millions. He is the man who will become Joseph Stalin. For a man of conscience, it is not an opportunity. It is a curse. His first instinct is to end it all—to sacrifice one life to save countless others. But staring into a cracked mirror, he finds that the simple human will to live is a powerful, stubborn thing. If he can't die, he must do the impossible: navigate the bloody crucible of the Russian Revolution and steer history off its catastrophic course. But he's trapped in a gilded cage of his own making, caught in a battle for the soul of a future empire.

MATURE CONTENTS There was no fighting or escaping his bed at night. She never expected that. Aeryl has always known her blood was cursed. Born a hybrid, she was never fully human, never fully safe. When her father bargains her away to the Vampire Lord for the people's sake, she chooses the only path left—run. But the night is not a place of mercy. Shadows stalk her every step, and the hunger that follows isn’t only for her blood. He rises at midnight: cruel, exquisite, and ancient. A master who drains beasts for sport, who toys with mortals like her as easily as silk. And now he has scented her. His sweet mate. His prey. His obsession. Aeryl may think she can flee, but the Vampire Lord does not chase—he hunts. And once he finds her, she will learn that surrender means more than giving up her freedom. It means yielding her body, her pleasure, and her will to his needs. But then, it comes with a lot of pains and shocking tales. This is not just a vampire romance. It is dark erotica—where blood is spilled, bodies are claimed, and surrender is the most dangerous ecstasy of all.

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Thomas Vance, 25, had it all: an inheritance from the world's wealthiest family, striking good looks, and unlimited access to luxury. However, his perfect life didn't end due to a grand conspiracy or a tragic illness, but because of a sports car he didn't buy for his ex-girlfriend on her birthday. A bullet ended his opulent world. He awoke not in the afterlife, but in a sandy hell called Capua, in the unfamiliar world of the TV series Spartacus. From a lavish penthouse to a filthy slave cell, from designer suits to tattered rags, Thomas was thrown to the very bottom of the human food chain.

He was the feral Alpha King buried beneath the mountain. She was the cursed girl they offered to him as sacrifice to end the famine plaguing their lands. Ruvan, the first Alpha. Imprisoned, driven to utter madness, and starved of power. Solenne, the packless she-wolf rumored to be cursed and bring misfortune to all who cross paths with her. With the power of cursed speech, she is able to kill and bend the world to her will with only one word. To avoid hurting others, she hasn't spoken a single syllable since she was a child. Feared and rejected by her own people, she is given to the mountain in a forbidden ritual-sacrifice... and her scent stirs the beast that slumbers beneath it. His mate. Ruvan will stop at nothing to claim what's his, even if that means storming the heavens and finding the cure to her curse just to hear her speak his name. ---- She saw stars behind her eyes and felt constellations carved into her skin with every lingering touch and each press of his mouth. He painted the night sky onto her body, not with a brush, but with his lips, hands, and his insatiable hunger—until her lungs were empty and her heart soared so high it must’ve kissed the moon. “Solenne,” Ruvan murmured, voice low and reverent, like a prayer. She shivered; the sound of her name on his lips felt like heaven. Ruvan pressed his palm to her stomach, anchoring her as he leaned in, mouth brushing the hollow of her throat. His hand rose, slow and shaking, tracing the shape of her jaw like it was a sight made only for him. His thumb brushed the corner of her mouth and his eyes burned as he studied her. “You feel like the stars,” he whispered, “Mesmerizing and bright... something that I want to capture and keep to myself." And then he kissed her; it was a deep, aching vow he couldn’t speak aloud. A promise made only in breath, heat, and need. When they parted, he gently pressed his forehead against hers. His voice dipped lower… uncertain, maybe even afraid: “Say my name?” -- R18, werewolves, fated love, weak to strong... I hope you enjoy my second entry for 2025 WSA. :) give it a shot~

“You should have been executed,” Cassian said, his shadow falling over her as the chains bit into her wrists. His voice was calm, too calm, the kind of calm that hides a knife. “Instead, you sit in my father’s hall as if you belong here.” Lysandra tilted her chin, refusing to look away from the fire in his eyes. “And yet… here I am.” His jaw tightened, his breath brushing against her cheek as he leaned closer. “Defy me again, bastard, and I’ll…” “What?” she cut in, her voice sharp enough to make the guards flinch. “Sneer me to death? Or are you afraid you’ll enjoy the fight?” For a heartbeat, silence.

The Empire of Feltogora and the Nexus Kingdom have long stood as enemies, their uneasy peace marked by raids, denials, and generations of mistrust. When Feltogora fails to subdue Nexus by force, the empire turns to diplomacy by deceit—proposing an arranged marriage between Princess Zuleika of Nexus and the crown prince. Yet within the gilded halls of Revaz, her path collides not with the prince, but with Princess Aquila, the empire’s only daughter. What begins as hostility between rivals soon transforms into a dangerous bond. Instead, in stolen glances and quiet defiance, a connection sparks between them—one strong enough to challenge duty, empire, and the weight of decades of war. In a world where kingdoms rise and fall to ambition, Zuleika and Aquila must choose: remain pawns of an empire’s game, or risk everything for a bond that could rewrite the fate of their nations.
