Lin Haoran was reborn in 1978 Hong Kong, becoming a wealthy young heir. At this time, the glory of the British financial consortiums was beginning to fade, while Chinese capital was rising rapidly like bamboo after the rain, starting to shine on the international stage. Former British-controlled giants like Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa were becoming prime targets pursued by Chinese entrepreneurs. So, with growing strength, Lin Haoran set his sights on the leading British trading firm—Jardine Matheson... Thank you for the support, friends.

What becomes of a heart that dares to love in chains? In a Mesopotamia conquered and enslaved by Persia, young Lucien labors under the sun and whip, yet his mind drifts to rivers unbound and skies unbroken. Amid cruelty, he finds forbidden love in Miriam, the daughter of his master, a light that anchors his soul. Together, they dream of escape, of freedom, of life beyond oppression—but fate will not allow innocence to flourish. When tragedy strikes, grief transforms Lucien into a warrior of unmatched strength, driven by revenge and the hope of liberation. He challenges masters, nations, and even his own despair, seeking justice for his people and freedom for his heart. But the cost of defiance is heavy, and the pursuit of liberty may demand the ultimate sacrifice. A story of love, loss, rebellion, and the crushing weight of grief, Chains of Wind and Blood explores how freedom is fought not only with strength, but with the fragments of a broken soul.

In a dying world where ancient demons stir from their sealed abysses, ordinary college student Lirien Voss is ripped from her reality as a living sacrifice to the primordial Demon Lord Valthorax. Instead of consuming her soul, he binds her with a cursed eternal contract: she is now his personal slave, her body magically attuned to crave only his touch, her pleasure a fuel for his awakening power. What begins as cruel, dominating "training" sessions in his obsidian citadel slowly unravels something deeper. As their intense nightly unions awaken forbidden magic in Lirien through dual cultivation, she gains strength... and Valthorax begins to question his millennia of isolation. In a realm of endless wars, betrayals, and rising threats, his eternal slave becomes both his greatest weapon and his only vulnerability. Warning: Extremely explicit R18 content. Heavy dominance/submission, detailed smut, power imbalance, corruption, obsessive bond, dual cultivation, fantasy elements. Single female lead focus — deep, evolving master-slave romance with no harem.

As her mind begins to desync, a mysterious hunter known as the "Grey Coat" emerges from the ruins of Sector 4, hunting the one thing Liora can't hide: her past. In a war between truth and deception, who can you trust when even your own reflection might be an enemy? Step into the night. But watch your step... the shadows are hungry.

Yet, there is one thing no one can deny—his face.

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.

WARNING: ADULT CONTENTS Don't be addicted to it! --- In the year 2032, the world descended into chaos. Dungeons and portals opened across the globe, unleashing monsters that no ordinary weapon could stop. Humanity teetered on the brink of extinction—until superhumans known as players appeared, wielding powers beyond imagination. Kenzo is one such aspirant, desperate to survive in this brutal new world. Life has already thrown him into a storm of misfortune: evicted for scandalous behavior, repeatedly rejected as a Webnovel author, and juggling a harem of women with his chaotic charm. But today, the 55th official awakening ceremony could change everything. Inside the Tower of System, Kenzo’s world explodes into absurdity. Multiple phones ring with girlfriends, lovers, and editors, each interaction more chaotic than the last. He lies, he schemes, and he manipulates his way through the crowd, all while striving to claim his powers—and his place as a player capable of surviving the apocalypse. When the ceremony begins, only a fraction of candidates awaken. Kenzo does, but not for the sake of saving humanity—he craves chaos, power, and the thrill of dominating both the battlefield and the hearts of those around him. He acquires the unique class: Milf Hunter, along with Charisma Points and the ability “Liar to Truth Teller,” turning his lies into irresistible truth. Now, armed with superhuman abilities, a chaotic mind, and a complicated love life, Kenzo must navigate dungeons, portals, and monsters while juggling the attention of multiple women—sometimes for fun, sometimes for advantage, always for chaos. In a world on the brink of destruction, one man’s lecherous antics might just tip the scales… or get him killed. "I want is to dominate over ladies!" Adult content warning: This story features sexualized humor, romantic chaos, and mature themes.
