Alternative Title: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── SYNOPSIS: Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. And he was a professional when it came to recklessness. It backfired, horribly, in every possible way. He almost died, fled his homeland, and then almost died again, but here he was, not really learning. "So dumb," the devil voice in his head whispered in disdain, "How more idiotic can you get?" "As far as idiocy goes deep," Lucian answered, accepting the new path of his life, one that might cost him his sanity, "And it goes deep. And wide." Goal: get wealthy and powerful enough to afford more idiocy Current arsenal: blood, sweat, tears, and pure wits Start point: gardener End point: unknown Method: whatever works "I'm a good person," Lucian claimed, "The 'whatever works' should be changed to 'whatever works morally and sensibly' and 'unknown' to 'a glorious victory'." The devil voice in his head laughed so hard he felt it in his bones, shaking him like a puppet on a string. ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.

I died once reaching for a woman whose face I can no longer remember. Reborn into the Vorn Dynasty—a brutal family that rules over thirteen worlds along with other territories—I was supposed to be a genius. Instead, I was declared broken. My soul is fractured, my memories are gone, and my own siblings view me as nothing more than a lamb for the slaughter. But the cracks in my soul aren't empty. They're filled with something ancient. A piece of my past. [SYSTEM INITIALIZATION...] [SOUL INTEGRITY: 47%] [THE DARKNESS CALLS] With the power to crush my enemies with gravity, fry their nerves with lightning and the darkness at my call, I will carve a path through the blood of my rivals. I will unearth the mystery of my past death, reclaim the woman haunting my dreams, and tear down the empires that dare to stand in my way. But power isn't the only thing I crave. In a universe where betrayal is the only constant, I find solace in the arms of those brave enough to love a monster. I will collect their hearts, their bodies, and their absolute devotion. This isn't a story about a hero. This is a story about a monster who chose to be one—and the people who love him anyway. The question isn't whether he'll find her. The question is what's left of him when he does. He doesn't save people. He claims them. And somehow, that's worse.

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again? Right, a copyist. I'll start as a writer, and my ultimate goal is to become an international star. What? You mean acting skills? I'm a Incubus! --- Additional tags: Heavy harem, smut, possessive characters, smart mc, sudden strength gain, lust emotion and desire -based power system, no yuri, no netorare. A/N:- Story and smut are well balanced. You won't feel bored if you have come for either of the two or maybe both.

Rolan, a 35-year-old office worker from Earth, never imagined his life would end under the divine wheels of the most feared deity in all dimensions — the God of Reincarnation and Transmigration, known only as Truck-kun. But fate, it seems, had grander plans. Awakening in the body of a dead teenage cabin boy drifting through the perilous seas of the One Piece world, Rolan quickly discovers his new vessel wasn’t ordinary — it came bound to a mysterious and powerful System. Armed with this cheat-like ability and memories of a world that once viewed pirates as fiction, Rolan decides to abandon all notions of destiny or morality. In this chaotic sea ruled by monsters, Marines, and legends, he’ll carve out a new path — one driven not by justice or dreams... but by freedom. Will he rise as a pirate feared across the Grand Line? After all — this is no longer Luffy’s story. This is Rolan’s era — the tale of a man reborn to live as he wishes, in a world where only the strong can truly be free.

Adrian Cole was having a perfectly normal bad day. His job was draining, his rent was due, and the only thing he inherited from a distant relative was a cheap storage unit filled with junk. Or so he thought. Hidden inside was something impossible - an ancient stone archway that should not exist. When Adrian touches it, the door doesn't open. It fuses with him. Moments later, he finds himself standing in a vast and dangerous world called Eryndor, where monsters roam ancient forests and magic saturates the air itself. But Adrian didn't just arrive. Something inside him changed. A strange core now beats within his chest - a living structure that absorbs magic, adapts, and grows stronger with every battle. Fire spells become fuel. Monster attacks become power. Even the very mana of the world bends and reshapes itself inside him. The problem? Adrian isn't a hero. He's a sarcastic office worker who just wanted to pay rent. Now monsters hesitate when he walks by. Ancient forces begin to notice him. And the world may have just awakened something far older than magic itself. Something primordial. And unfortunately for everyone involved... it has a very dry sense of humor.

He was in his early twenties when the world decided to end for him. A computing prodigy, educated at MIT, someone who understood systems, patterns, and limits better than most. In his previous life, power didn’t come from fists, but from the mind — lines of code capable of shaping digital realities. Then he died. And was born again. Reincarnated into the DC Universe as a helpless baby, he grew up in a world where gods walk among humans, where vigilantes defy the impossible, and where power is rarely fair — or free. While others trusted destiny, chance, or inherited gifts, he trusted only one thing: process. Memory intact. Intellect intact. Ambition intact. From an early age, he understood a simple and cruel truth: in that world, those who do not grow are crushed. And so, far from the spotlight of the League, he began to build something forbidden — his own Artificial Intelligence, created not to save the world, but to optimize it. To make him stronger. More efficient. More prepared to survive among monsters, aliens, and symbols. While heroes were born from tragedy, he forged himself in silence. While villains sought external power, he engineered it from within. This is not the story of a chosen one. It is the story of someone who decided to become inevitable. Between code and chaos, science and superhumans, begins the rise of a man who does not believe in miracles — only in evolution. This story was inspired by a fanfiction I read years ago — a work I deeply admire and still reread to this day. Unfortunately, that story was never continued. This project is not a continuation, rewrite, or replacement of that original work. It is an independent story, created with its own plot, characters, and direction, merely inspired by the ideas and feelings that the original story left with me.

Thanos raised his hand, the Infinity Gauntlet gleaming with six radiant gems, and snapped his fingers! Snap! Half of all life in the universe turned to dust. But one man remained untouched. Protected by a strange gem—so red it shimmered black and purple—Michael stood unharmed. Then, he grinned… and snapped his own fingers. Snap! Every creature Thanos had just erased returned to life. Thanos stared in disbelief. He snapped again. Snap! Michael lazily raised his hand and snapped once more. Snap! The universe reset itself as if nothing had ever happened. Thanos looked at his cracked Infinity Gauntlet and roared in frustration. “...MMP!” -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

People always say, control your emotions, don’t be weak, don’t do this, don’t do that—but you know what? F*ck all that. This story isn’t about perfection or pretending to be strong—it’s about being real.

I want the readers to feel that—every joy, every heartbreak, every spark of anger and desire. I want you to walk beside them through the Land of Eirs, to bleed when they bleed, to rise when they rise. Because this isn’t just their story—it’s a reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, we keep moving. Always.

Ron traveled to the world of One Piece and rose step by step to the rank of Vice Admiral. But everything collapsed when the Celestial Dragon he was protecting was seriously injured. Ron was expelled from the Navy, and his future seemed doomed. At that moment, a God-tier Entertainment System awakened. The system connected the pirate world to the Internet and even brought over Earth’s entertainment apps and devices. As long as people spent money in those apps, Ron would receive returns. Tiktok, Facebook, PUBG, Light Novels, Dungeon & Fighter… everything appeared. To change the era and put an end to senseless violence, Ron began spreading smartphones across the seas. Apps launched one after another. And from that day forward, the entire pirate world changed. In Amazon Lily, the young girls practiced trend-dance videos every day, while Empress Hancock gained millions of fans with a single glance. Dracule Mihawk got addicted to reading web novels and shouted that one day he would cut open the sky. Vegapunk, Judge, Caesar, and Queen all fought online for the title of “Top Inventor,” until they were eventually defeated by the unbeatable Valpo Alloy. Kaido kept losing matches and even got solo-killed in real life. Big Mom became obsessed with drama series and lost all interest in piracy. Shanks had no choice but to eat the Face-Face Fruit, turning into someone no one dared to ignore. The Five Elders played ranked games every day and shouted at their teammates: “Ron and the Four Emperors, all of you log in right now!” And high above, Im watched everything in silence. A world that had remained unchanged for 800 years… collapsed completely in just one year. -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

Himanshu was just an ordinary eighteen-year-old—an orphan scraping through life—until a heated argument about Karna and Arjuna became the last conversation he would ever have. Struck down by a god’s wrath for daring to question divine actions, his life ends abruptly… but not completely. Before his soul can fade into oblivion, he is summoned by Lord Shiva. Declaring that Himanshu’s death was unjust and premature, Shiva offers him a second chance—one bound not by mercy, but by purpose. A sacred duty awaits him in a world where Dharma is on the verge of collapse. Reborn in the era of the Mahabharata, Himanshu quickly realizes something is terribly wrong. The timeline exists. The kingdoms stand. The great war approaches. But the one who anchors destiny itself… Lord Krishna is missing. Without Krishna, the balance between Dharma and Adharma begins to shatter. Heroes waver. Villains rise unchecked. Fate itself grows unstable. Armed with three extraordinary boons—a mysterious system that rewards his actions, unnatural luck, and unmatched talent in all arts and combat—Himanshu steps into a story that was never meant to unfold this way. But in a world where destiny has lost its guide… Even the smallest change can birth unimaginable consequences. As he navigates alliances, alters events, and challenges the very will of the gods, Himanshu must confront a terrifying truth: Is he here to save this world… —or to decide if it deserves to be saved at all? ====================================== (Author note:) This story was a heavy A.U and all those characters belong's to the OG creator of the epic. Except the Mc and Oc. And I would never disrespect them. I hope you guys give me your opinion and idea's. WARNING: If you don't feel like you dislike A.U on Mahabharat then there is a chance you might not like the story. And the story won't just follow the book or any serials. It's A.U so might feel a mix kind of feeling. Bye guys I hope you enjoy the story.

Saya has a special arrangement with a dragon. She gets tied to rocks. He gets the gold. They scam villages with fake sacrifices, overcooked rituals, and a convincing act of “damsel in distress.” She’s no maiden — just a fast-talking harlot with sharp instincts, flexible morals, and a talent for moaning on cue. He’s no terrifying beast — just a very old, very gay, very arthritic lizard with a hoard, a temper, and joint pain from shapeshifting too much in the bygone ages. It’s all going swimmingly until heroes start showing up. Cults get nosy. Other dragons get ideas. And Saya begins to wonder what exactly she's doing in a world where virtue gets sacrificed and livestock counts as treasure. A sword-and-sandals fantasy with scams, sarcasm, sensuality, and sheep.
