Elara Voss enters a contract marriage with Rafael D’Angelo, a powerful and calculating mafia leader, under circumstances that leave her with no choice but to accept. Bound by a one-year agreement designed to serve his empire, Elara is thrust into a world of wealth, control, and hidden danger. What begins as a strategic alliance soon grows increasingly complex as Rafael’s calculated detachment gives way to an unexpected fixation. However, Elara harbors secrets of her own—secrets that connect her to a hidden network of power capable of threatening Rafael’s empire. As external forces begin to close in, both are drawn into a dangerous web of manipulation, where trust is fragile and motives are never what they seem. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is inevitable, their contract becomes more than an agreement—it becomes a battleground. And as the line between control and desire begins to blur, one question remains: Was this marriage ever a coincidence… or part of a much larger game?

Li Daoxuan received a strange scenic box. Inside the box, there was an ancient village, and a group of plastic figures, holding swords and knives, hacking and slashing through the village. He bent his finger and flicked it towards a most conspicuous figure... Late in the Ming Dynasty, in Shaanxi, there was a great drought in the land. A gang of mountain bandits was looting, burning, killing, and plundering in the village. A poor maiden was about to be killed under a mountain bandit's blade. Suddenly, a giant hand stretched out from the clouds, bent a finger, flicked it, and the mountain bandit was flung several dozen yards away.

Originally, I was just a "Cloud Hammer" (Warhammer 40K) player in 2025. After criticizing the Emperor's depiction in a cosplay video and giving a thumbs-up to a "gender-swapped Emperor" instead, my phone flashed—and I found myself transported to another world. Where am I? —I transmigrated into a high-quality replica of the Emperor of Mankind. —Specifically, I was stuffed into the mind of a dying mortal girl, a vessel so fragile she would overheat and break down at the drop of a hat. From then on, this little girl became the Empire's "Golden Miracle." I became the high-dimensional "Grandpa" voice in her head. Battlefield collapsing? With a single command of "Enough," my Golden Light swept through the Garden of Nurgle. A Grey Knight wants to kneel and sacrifice himself? "Step down, son of the Titans." Guilliman arrived, utterly shocked: "Father... is it truly you?" I immediately adopted a lighthearted, comforting tone: "My Thirteenth Son, you did a great job." The little girl was timid; yet the moment she emitted golden light, the battle commanders immediately knelt. Every time I log on, the Empire rejoices. Every time I log off, the Empire goes on high alert. Every time I return, the heretics tremble.

An existence revered even by gods themselves grows bored—and decides to retire. After stepping away from divinity, he is reborn as Wright, a mortal in a fragile fantasy world. Inspired by the slow, peaceful lives he once read about in manga, Wright sets out to enjoy an otherworldly retirement: a small house in the forest, a garden to tend, good food to eat, and absolutely zero responsibility for the fate of reality. Or at least, that’s the plan. This is the story of the quiet, everyday life of a manga-obsessed former god—trying to live slowly in a world that can’t quite handle him.

Daniel dies while brainstorming ideas for a tensura fan fic when his heart condition sent him to the shadow realm and as his soul was thrown into the tensura as he crossed over he didn’t awake in the body of a leviathan a demon and angel even a dragon he awoke in the body of a lesser wyvern the weakest dragonic of all but with his unique skills optimizer and devourer he will Climb the ranks and go beyond a true dragon and become a catastrophe that causes the whole world to unite against him but that all depends on the path that he’s driven Will hr be consumed in destruction and chaos through grief or will fate have a greater path for him (i’ve created a lot of skills from my own imagination so don’t be surprised if you see new ultimate skills unique skills etc Also if you’re wondering optimizer is basically great stage but on a lower scale but honestly a little bit better)

War forged him. Women desired him. Kingdoms feared him. After the Great War of the Hundred Races, the continent of Fengyue did not fall into peace—it fell into ambition. Eight kingdoms tore at one another for dominance. Alliances were built on lies. Marriages were signed like treaties. And behind every throne stood a woman with her own hunger for power. When the Fast Empire and the Wu’an Kingdom clashed over the fertile Great Lake region, the silent Yasuo Kingdom struck from the shadows, igniting what would later be known as the First Battle of Tianfeng. Three nations. One battlefield. No rules. And from the blood-soaked plains rose a man with no lineage, no banner, and no mercy— Aurelian Dragon. He was not born noble. He did not inherit power. He took it. Where he walked, armies broke. Where he stayed, queens hesitated. Where he looked… women faltered. A proud imperial princess. A cold-blooded female general. A calculating queen who believed she controlled the board. All of them would eventually discover the same truth: War is not the only thing Aurelian Dragon conquers. Behind palace doors and beneath silken sheets, alliances are sealed in far more dangerous ways than steel and ink. Desire becomes leverage. Bodies become bargaining chips. And power is measured not only by territory—but by who kneels when the doors are closed. This is not a story of pure heroes. This is a story of dominance, temptation, betrayal, and the rise of a man who bends both kingdoms and hearts to his will. On the continent of Fengyue, history is written in blood. And in the dark.

Being reincarnated as a prince was a stroke of luck; he wasn’t the eldest, spared the burden of being the firstborn and the scheming of his younger siblings, nor was he the youngest, ignored and dispensable. He was the fourth prince. He harbored the ambition to become emperor, to sit on the throne above thousands, especially knowing that he now found himself in an immortal world. He wanted power; he wanted to live above everyone else, to be the most powerful being. His mother’s clan was strong, but it paled in comparison to the true giants; even so, they spared no support for Xue Yanluo, and he was beginning to build his modest initial power base at court. At that moment, he gained his power, his talent. It was an infusion of strange knowledge that invaded his mind in the middle of the night, transforming his body, bones, and soul. Upon waking, the humanity within him had vanished, now reborn once more, now as the one and only vampire in an immortal world.

In a kingdom where the laws of men are mere fictions for the docile, Lilith waits behind a mask of fragility. While lords bleed themselves dry in wars, she silently architects the end of humanity as we know it. She seeks neither lands nor tribute, but the forbidden formula to extinguish human nature and bring forth a lineage of her own.

Knox was so lazy that it got him killed. At eighteen, he died in the most pathetic way possible—walking too slowly across the street. But death wasn’t the end. He woke up in the Dream Realm, a mysterious world where summons are born… and within minutes, he was dragged into another world. Summoned. Not as a hero. Not as a prodigy. But as a weak guardian for a fallen family of elves. His stats? Below average. His talent? [Lazy Meditation of the Legendary Lazy Knight (Rank S): Every 10 seconds spent sitting increases all attributes.] And it gets worse. —or better— Sleeping makes him even stronger. The more he rests… the more broken he becomes. Now surrounded by powerful (and dangerously beautiful) elves, Knox is about to enter a world of magic, danger, and ruthless competition— All while doing the one thing he does best: Nothing.

"You trash!" I've been hearing that since I was born. Grandson of a hero, but a failure. My parents raised me until I was fifteen because I was the bare minimum, before I was kicked out... Yeah. My own family despises me. What's so wrong with being normal? Am I wrong for being born this way? I'm smarter than them, and yet I'm despised for having no power whatsoever. ... Of course, I'll make them regret it. With the hero's legacy, I become the villain. ------- Genre: #18+. #Smut. #Dark. #Harem. #Fast-growing. #Netori. #No NTR. #No Yuri. #Incest? #Revenge.

Nice fireball. Let's see how it does against a 9mm bullet. In a world full of magic, where your mana determines your worth, Alex is a Static. He doesn't have any. No spells. No powers. No miracles. To top it all off, he was born in the poorest of all countries, where the neighboring gods all flock to exploit his land as an oil rig. And to the divine, his people are nothing more than cattle waiting to be slaughtered. The luckiest get bound to godly spirits, amplifying their powers to heavens-shaking heights. When Alex’s curiosity almost paid off, his luck still ran thin: his spirit was the lowest of the low, granting no mana and no abilities. Yet, this bottom-tier spark held one rule-breaking trait: It allowed him to host multiple spirits at once. Even then, Alex was still a Static and magic was out of his reach. With his new-bound mentor, Alex isn't worried about his lack of mana. To him, all these spells are nothing more than inefficient reactions. He has something better to fight back: Science. He doesn’t need a fireball when he has combustion, and he sure as hell doesn't need a god's blessing when he's aiming a bazooka. After learning that the game is rigged, Alex decides to wage war against the heavens. One invention at a time, the Static prodigy will dismantle the divine. What to expect: - MC stays weak (or at least behind the rest of the cast in raw power) - Underdog power - Genius MC - Machiavellian mentor - Cultivation - Science - Complex magic - Kingdom building - Strong allies - Lost history/Lost knowledge - World exploration What not to expect: - Mc becomes the strongest - Harem

Hermi did not volunteer for this marriage. She is a royal bastard, hunted down by a father she has never met, then handed off to a foreign king whose name is whispered like a curse. A perfectly efficient solution for everyone involved. Except Hermi. That foreign king rules a wasteland so barren and forsaken that the six surrounding kingdoms use it as a dumping ground for criminals and exiles. He is rumored to be a tyrant. Every princess sent before her is said to have died within months. Hermi's expectations are, understandably, low. She arrives with exactly one goal: survive long enough to burn her home kingdom to the ground. A modest ambition, all things considered. Survival, however, turns out to be complicated. The land is hostile. Her husband runs cold and scorching in equal measure. The crown on her head feels less like power, and more like a very formal death sentence. Then, somewhere between a wasteland and a husband who wouldn't stop watching her, Hermi awakens something the continent hasn't seen in thousands of years. A magic so ancient and absolute it rewrites the rules of the world. The kind that makes kingdoms nervous. The kind that makes alliances form overnight. Hermi arrived in the wasteland to start a war. She didn't expect to become the reason the entire world has no choice but to declare one against her. — Tags: Dark Romantasy, Morally Grey, Political Intrigue, Kingdom Building, Power Couple, Slow Burn, War, Dragons, Monster Hunt, Magic System, Level Up, Power Growth — Warning: Explicit Gore and Sexual Content
