He married her to control her… but she might be the one thing that destroys him. Maria Romanova lost everything in a single act of betrayal—her family, her fortune, her freedom. To salvage what remains of her name, she is forced into a marriage she never chose… to Mikhail Dragunov. Cold. Calculated. Untouchable. The heir to a dynasty built on power and secrets, Mikhail doesn’t love—he controls. And in his world, obedience isn’t expected… it’s enforced. Their marriage is a contract. A cage. A silent war. But Maria refuses to be broken. Behind her silence burns something dangerous—something Mikhail didn’t anticipate. And the more he tries to control her, the more she begins to see the cracks beneath his perfect cruelty. Because there are truths buried deep within the Dragunov empire… truths that trace back to a year no one speaks about. 2006. A year of disappearance. Of betrayal. Of something that should have stayed buried. And somehow… Maria is at the center of it. As obsession replaces indifference and control begins to unravel, Maria must decide— Remain the pawn in Mikhail’s game… or become the one woman capable of destroying him. In a world where loyalty is currency and love is a liability, one wrong move could cost her everything. Even her heart.

I woke up as an extra in a famous novel. Before I could even panic, a system window appeared. [Mission: Confess to Myles Cortez.] [Favorability: -10] [Time Remaining: 30 minutes] [Penalty: Death] Myles Cortez, the final villain of the story. Apparently, if I want to live, I have to seduce him. Easy, right? ... Wrong. "You think you can back out now?" His fingers tightened behind my head, eyes dark. "Blake, you confessed to me every day with that smile." ...I may have seduced him a little too well.

Alternative Tittle: The Second Male Lead’s POV (in an Otome World) ────────────────────────── Starting a forbidden relationship with the duke’s daughter was the most reckless thing Lucian had ever done in his life. Up until now, his only risks were hunting rare saplings from dangerous places. Now, he was breaking the nobles’ rules. And it backfired, horribly. Not once, not twice, not thrice but multiple times. He almost died once, lost a few friends, 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, "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 ────────────────────────── THE CHARACTERS DO NOT BEGIN AS YANDERE, BUT THEY WILL SLOWLY FALL DOWN THE RABBIT HOLE AS THE STORY PROGRESSES.

In a world where power is defined by killing intent, strength is not something you wield—it is something you become. Xzaivier Shishiroma lives as a rogue vigilante known as the Night Scar, cutting down criminals in the shadows for coin. With no memory of his past and no attachments to anchor him, he survives by one rule alone: kill or be killed. But behind his empty eyes lies something deeper—an unexplainable rage, burning without a source. When he crosses paths with the Sword Saints, the elite enforcers of the nation of Sol, Xzaivier is forced into their ranks against his will. There, he enters a world of ruthless discipline, overwhelming killers, and a system that demands one thing above all else: Abandon your humanity… or fall behind. As Xzaivier grows stronger, fragments of something buried begin to stir. A forgotten promise. A monster who should not exist. And a power that represents the absolute end of all killing intent— The Aku no Eye. In a world where becoming stronger means becoming less human, Xzaivier must decide: Will he master killing intent… or be consumed by it?

When Rosalind follows her father to a grand banquet in the kingdom of Eryndor, she expects nothing but humiliation as her father intends to pawn her off to settle his gambling debts. Rosalind is fiercely unwilling to be controlled and is definitely unprepared for the attention of King Alaric, the kingdom’s feared tyrant whose dangerous charm and ruthless reputation make the bravest men tremble and women weak in their knees. Intrigued by her defiance, Alaric claims Rosalind as his own, and suddenly she is trapped in his castle, under the scrutiny of his watchful eyes, sinful tongue, and burning touch. Desperate to escape, she discovers a secret ally in a mysterious servant, one whose true identity shocks her and forces her to question everything she thought was real, with the fact that her father hadn't been in debt at all but had handed her to the malicious king with evil intentions. Rosalind finds herself caught between two men: the controlling, prideful king who desires her completely, and the enigmatic servant who sees her as more than a prize. In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

It all started with a dirty little secret.

Now, I am no longer prey; I am the puppeteer of souls. Yu Xiaogang? I will make the world see your hypocrisy as I twist you into the most despised Evil Soul Master in history. Tang San? Your precious disciple will fall with you, transformed into public enemy number one. As the Demon Holy Son of the Spirit Hall, I will rewrite fate. Death is too merciful a gift for you two... prepare for a fate worse than hell. Thank you for the support, friends. If you want to read more chapters in advance, go to my Patreon.

Harry Morgan wakes up in Central City as Griffin, a man with a dormant meta-gene and a dark mission. Bound to the Metahuman Collector System, he has the unique ability to "extract" the powers of other metahumans, turning himself into a living repository of stolen potential. In a city about to be flooded with dark matter and super-powered criminals, Griffin must navigate the line between hero and villain. Armed with foreknowledge of the timeline—including the betrayal of Harrison Wells and the sacrifice of Eddie Thawne—he must decide if he will simply hoard power for himself or use his system to change a narrative that demands the death of good men. The System: Metahuman Collector Extraction & Storage: The core function of the system. By making physical contact or defeating a target, Griffin can "extract" their meta-abilities. These powers are stored in a digital "Library," allowing him to swap between different skill sets as needed. Power Fusion: One of the system's most dangerous features. It allows Griffin to combine two or more stolen powers to create entirely new, hybrid abilities (e.g., combining super-strength with kinetic absorption to create an unstoppable physical force). Sync Rate: A measure of how well Griffin’s body can handle a specific stolen power. Using a power with a low sync rate causes physical strain and "Dark Matter Saturation," forcing him to level up his Physical Adaptation stat to survive his own arsenal. Notoriety Level (NL): A passive tracker that monitors how much attention Griffin is drawing from S.T.A.R. Labs, the CCPD, and A.R.G.U.S. If his NL gets too high, the system warns him that "The Streak" or other heroes are actively hunting him.

Trapped between the ambitions of dark necromancers and the wrath of vengeful gods, Ludwig must navigate a deadly new reality where his life is no longer his own. Stripped of privilege and resurrected as an undead pawn, Ludwig’s fight for survival will determine whether he reclaims his destiny...or becomes a mere footnote in a world of shadows and deceit.

Through the Sky Screen’s broadcast, Kaito summons heroes from other worlds and wields strange tools to twist reality itself. With the system he embraces the art of deception—fabricating half-true, half-false futures that even the wisest cannot ignore. Pirates, Marines, and Celestial Dragons alike are forced to accept these visions, no matter how absurd, as if stripped of every defense. In this false future, Buggy the Clown emerges as a nightmare reborn. After twenty years of secret training, his Devil Fruit awakening is said to hold enough power to shatter the Red Line. Former Shichibukai rally to his banner as sworn brothers, and even the Marine’s legendary hero Garp is proclaimed slain at his hands. Behind the laughter hides a vast conspiracy, one that threatens to upend the balance of the world itself.

When I found myself as Ayanokouji Kiyotaka, I thought I was going to spend the rest of my three years at ANHS teasing loligaki, making fun of Suzune Horikita’s low emotional intelligence, and probably trolling Ryueen and the rest of the school. But then I found out the world was overrun by zombies. Well, luckily, I’m Ayanokouji Kiyotaka—the peak of human strength and the masterpiece of the White Room. Since I can’t enjoy my peaceful life, why not rule this apocalypse as an overlord and tyrant?

The name Ayanokouji Kiyotaka is a burden spoken in a thousand different tones. Some whisper it with a trembling fear that chills the air. Others spit it out with an envy that tastes like poison. Many curse him in fits of blind anger. Yet, in the long history of his existence, no soul has ever called out to him with true warmth unless they had a reason to use him. He wants to change. He craves the ability to cry until his chest aches, to laugh until he forgets his past, and to feel a spark of genuine anger like a normal person. He does not want to remain a hollow shell. He is the finished masterpiece of a legacy he utterly despises. Just as he had touched the edges of peace during his year at ANHS, the world shifted. Just as his life began to bleed into color, washing away the blinding, sterile white, it was stolen. Just like that. He fell into a deep unconsciousness, and when his eyes opened, he was trapped once more by everything he tried to escape. He woke up surrounded by a nightmare where winning is the only metric of survival. In this place, your methods are irrelevant and your morality is a liability. He is back in a cycle of kill or be killed. He does not want this. He does not want to become the monster he spent his freedom trying to bury. He just needed silence. He just needed peace. Yet, despite the loathing in his heart, he cannot stop himself from playing this game of death. He calculates. He manipulates. He destroys. With every passing second, he loses a fragment of the person he hoped to become. He knows his ending is fated to be a tragedy written in cold blood. I welcome you to a journey where the Masterpiece of the White Room tries to find his own happiness within the suffocating darkness of Shadow Slave. Try is a very strong word for a man already dead inside. *** Classroom of the Elite belongs to Kinugasa Shadow Slave belongs to Guilty3

Raised among star charts and forbidden books, she has devoted her life to the heavens, believing that solitude and duty would protect her from the dangers of the world. Everything changes the night she crosses paths with Kang-dae, the King’s most feared deputy general—a man shaped by war, bound by loyalty, and whispered about throughout the palace. What begins as a fleeting encounter soon becomes a dangerous connection, one that threatens to expose Haneul’s hidden intellect and dismantle the carefully constructed life that keeps her safe. Caught between duty and desire, silence and truth, Haneul must choose whether to remain invisible—or risk everything for a love that was never meant to exist.

That strike was supposed to… be his end. When the sword fell upon his neck before a crowd shouting his name as traitor and demon, he did not beg for mercy… nor did he try to flee. He simply smiled. But… death did not come as it should. Instead of the end, he found himself in another world— A world where strength obeys no logic, where laws do not follow the patterns humans know, a world seemingly written to be broken… not to be understood. Now, in his body, a strange power flows… A power that cannot be obeyed, only resisted… and then subdued. Every sensation, every movement, every thought… Reminds him of one truth: He is no longer as he was. And this world… will not remain as it is. Here, there is no absolute good… nor clear evil. Only struggle… between those who wield power and those consumed by it. But for him— This was not a new beginning. It was an opportunity. An opportunity to understand… What makes the world break. And a more dangerous opportunity— To reshape it.
