Reborn into a cursed city with a ruined reputation, a funeral parlor that scares spirits away, and an umbrella that eats monsters for breakfast, Elias just wants to live quietly.

Arlen’s life takes an unexpected turn when his grandfather arranges his engagement behind his back—to a celebrity heiress, no less.

Will this arrangement remain nothing more than an obligation… or become something neither of them expected?

Elias Kane is the undisputed top operative of the Trash Trope Intervention Division, a covert agency that exists to dismantle the most outrageously toxic, over-the-top romance plots by seducing and systematically dismantling the worst offenders. He's left a trail of broken egos so long that the list of women he's ruined could wrap around a luxury skyscraper. Retirement was finally within reach—one last mission to close out his legendary career. Then the division decided his finale deserved "nightmare difficulty." This world is a glittering matriarchy where women command absolute power: they own the corporations, dictate the laws, and treat breathtakingly beautiful young men as prized possessions—sponsored, displayed, traded, and discarded when the novelty fades. Every target Elias faces here is a virtuoso of manipulation, capable of switching from velvet tenderness to razor cruelty in the blink of an eye. The flip risk is catastrophic. One wrong move and he's not just out—he's obliterated. Elias stared at the mission brief for a long moment. Then he shrugged. Fine. If they're raising the stakes, he'll raise them higher. He's going to make every last queen crawl before he's done collecting his pension. So tell me, sweetheart— Are you willing to be my good little dog? You only get to answer "Yes" or "Woof." Good Dogs don't say "No." Extra Tags: Matriarchal World, Absued Main Character, Cold Main Character, Physically Weak Main character, etc.

Los Angeles, 2085. The world’s run by Command—a militarized authority that regulates the powered, the Armed, and promises safety from parasite-taken monsters called Disfigures. When a Breach erupts during a protest, Command blames civilians, triggers mass arrests, and turns “wrong place, wrong time” into life sentences. Seventeen-year-old Jaden Banks wants one thing: stay out the way. He’s a low-grade telekinetic with tired eyes and no interest in being a hero. Command doesn’t care. Swept into the Containment Intake Center, collared, injected, and stripped into white inmate gear, Jaden becomes a Choker—a prisoner deployed on the front lines in Collared Response Squads. Breaches don’t stop. The city doesn’t pause. Inside the system, people break into Certified CRS lapdogs… or become Leashed. Outside, Disfigures grow smarter, waves hit harder, and something behind the outbreaks starts to feel organized. The strongest fighters alive still can’t challenge the Disfigured King alone—because his ability, King’s Turn, adapts to anything that doesn’t erase him in one shot. Jaden learns fast. Too fast. As his power sharpens and his body hardens in custody, his calm stops being restraint and becomes a threat. Between school cadets chasing rank, Command officers enforcing quotas, and inmates fighting to stay human, the story fractures into multiple POVs—each one watching the same machine grind people down. Then Jaden decides the machine deserves to bleed back. And when the Chokers finally revolt, the question isn’t whether Command can stop them. It’s how many districts will burn before anyone can.

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.
