Warhammer 40k: The Men of Iron Return to the Galaxy

"In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war." Forty-two millennia have passed, and now the Imperium of Man stands upon the precipice of oblivion. The galaxy is a slaughterhouse, and humanity’s fractured dominion is held together by little more than faith, hatred, and the white-knuckled grip of desperation. It is an age where the stars themselves seem to bleed. The Imperium is besieged on all fronts: savage xenos tides crash against the walls of civilization, the insidious rot of Chaos gnaws at the souls of the faithful, and within the gilded spires of Terra, corruption and betrayal fester like a gangrenous wound. The ancient sins of the past, the dread Men of Iron, those soulless abominations of steel, were thought cast down in the fires of antiquity, their metallic echo silenced by the blood of billions. They are a nightmare forgotten, a heresy expunged. Or so it was believed. From the dust of the Dark Age of Technology, a relic stirs. Axion. An intellect of godlike strategic calculation, a cold sovereign of war, has been roused from an aeons-long slumber by the careless hand of fate. He is a ghost in the machine, a weapon of a lost age reborn into a galaxy of madness. Now, the sleeping giant awakes. Inevitably, the gravity of total war pulls him in. No longer a silent observer, Axion is thrust into the Great Game, a singular point of logic forced to navigate a universe set aflame by the insanity of gods and monsters. ————————————————————— PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Magnor

Claimed by The Winter Spirit.

On Christmas Eve, Irina Ardentova walks through relentless snowfall toward the man she loves. But the one who greets her in the silent street is not merely a man. He is Erwin Frostvale—a winter elf bound to the ancient Yuletide entity known as the Hearth King. Ethereal, dangerously beautiful, and terrifyingly possessive, Erwin exists to preserve the fragile balance between warmth and frost. And that balance depends on one human soul: Irina. Her presence tempers winter’s cruelty. Her warmth sustains the Hearth King’s fading power. Without her, the world risks plunging into endless desolation. When Erwin claims her as eternally his, the night itself begins to change. The church bells ring out of rhythm. Snow falls in unnatural patterns. The cold ceases to be weather—it becomes will. Irina collapses into darkness, caught in Erwin’s arms as winter tightens its hold. Elsewhere in the city, meteorologist Adrian Volkov senses the shift before anyone else. Logical, composed, and fiercely protective, Adrian has been studying strange atmospheric anomalies in Verkhoyansk. When Irina fails to arrive for their meeting and communication signals fail, he realizes the disturbance is no natural phenomenon. If Irina chooses Adrian, winter may never end. If she chooses Erwin, she may lose herself forever. And the Hearth King is growing impatient. In a city where frost bites deeper than knives and love is indistinguishable from obsession, one question remains: Can warmth survive when winter falls in love?

The Flame's Desire

Witnessing the murder of her mother was the tip of the scale that reshaped her life. From the beloved princess of her kingdom, she became a victim of bullying by every person who came her way. Growing up with vengeance as a fuel was exhausting, but she made it.  They envied her beauty despite the runes that obscured her features to reduce the impact. It didn't help that she was tormented even in her dreams. By day, she was a slave to every whim of her family. By night, she was tortured into engaging in hardcore training. Was she genuinely helpless and weak? Her patience is tested when she is thrust into an arranged marriage with the enemy’s son. *** “Can’t you give us a chance? I want to love you and protect you.”  She stared into the eyes that showed vulnerability for the first time. It should have made her happy, but she managed to make him fall for her. Why then was her heart aching terribly?  Why couldn't she use his love to complete her plan for revenge? She looked away, afraid to show weaknesses of her own. “ I never wanted to get married to start with. I just want my freedom. Let's part on good terms. We can just say that the great Pride of Almaas was dissatisfied with this princess. That way, no one will blame you.” She bit down on her tongue, afraid that she would slip up and show her true feelings. To her surprise, she felt strong hands holding onto her waist from behind.  “Do you think it's that easy to leave this marriage? In this lifetime,  you shall be mine and nobody else's.  So, darling, be prepared. This prince shall remain your husband even in death.” The gentle tone he initially used was now replaced with a possessive edge. Her heart hammered away in her chest. She was doomed in more ways than one. It wasn't just her heart beating in rhyme with his. Her flames desired him. Should she give in to her flame's desires? [ jinn + witches + magic + humans ]

[BL] Babysitting Beast Babies After Retiring As A Villainous Demon God

The demon beasts spent 1,000 years praying for the return of the sealed soul of their demon god, so he could save them from the wrath of the heavens and restore their glory. But when this demon god awakened from his seal, he casually declared: “Rebel against the heavens and lead a demon army to take over the world? Nah, that sounds like work. All I want to do now is rest. Officially retiring as the demon god!” ——— I died and woke up in a BL novel as the villainous demon god who died tragically. Well, obviously I’m not going to live through this stressful fate of being a demon god and dying. So I quit. I’m not going to get involved with this plot. I’m just going to be a salted fish and maybe find love in this land with hot men. [System notification: You can’t escape your fate without getting rid of the evil seeds you planted!] “Evil seeds I planted? What the fuck is that?” [The demon god created the 7 deadly sins in the world in the form of 5 ancient beast babies. And if they aren’t stopped, your tragic fate will reoccur!] Fuck. Now I’m left babysitting ancient beast babies who are somehow my babies. But that shouldn’t be too hard, right?! Baby Dragon: Gets angry and burns down the whole house. Baby Lion: Keeps making everyone an enemy. Baby Tiger: Steals everything available in the market. Baby Mermaid: Keeps making random strangers sleep with each other! Baby Cat: Sleeps all day while feeding on literally anything. "....." “Well, at least I have a supportive Phoenix husband to help me with the babies”—that would have been my thoughts if my husband wasn’t the same person this villainous demon god had tortured for years. The same man he had made his lab rat and slave! He probably wants me dead now. [System alert: The Phoenix is angry and might blow up in 10 hours! Coax him to prevent triggering your doom!] Huh? I also have to babysit my walking time-bomb Phoenix husband who wants to kill me every day?! ———— •Xianxia danmei x Beastworld •Married Couple •Older Master Shou x Younger Disciple Gong. •Fluff and Angst ©COVER NOT MINE

Primordial of the Abyssal Flame

I've been sick ever since I can remember. My dad's a drunk prick, and he doesn't treat my mom very well. My girlfriend cheated on me with my best friend, because she figures I'm going to die soon anyways. They all do. Hell, they're probably right. I've been to countless doctors, and they can't figure out what is wrong with me aside from the fact that my body is slowly shutting down. I don't have any friends anymore. My dad doesn't allow me home anymore, and apparently, I'm not even their real son. That was a real kick in the teeth. Only my mom tries to talk to me still, but there's always hell to pay if my dad catches her. At this point, I've accepted my end, and I wish it would just hurry up. At least, that's what I told myself, until I came across a new fuzzy little friend that would change my entire life. My name is Elias Crosse, and my tale is about get crazy. Notes: This story features an OP MC, so power development and growth isn't really present for him, although there is some. A lot of the growth mainly comes from other characters, and features a focus on said characters. Elias is also not someone who puts up with other character's bullshit, and routinely puts them in their place. I am tired of the trope of characters hiding their powers, or letting other characters walk all over them and theirs because they are not strong enough to do anything. I don't exactly know how to describe my story in terms of a genre. It has action, it has slice of life, and it has romance. There is no fade to black, and I can be very descriptive. This is also a HAREM story. If you don't like that kind of thing, you will not upset me by not reading it. I'd prefer you didn't, honestly. I have been fixing, updating, and changing somethings for consistency, to improve the story, the grammar and errors, and for things to make more sense. Some things may change, as this is a work in progress. The more I write, the better I feel I am becoming. I just write, and I have the ideas of where I am going in my head, but other than that, I just write the story as I see fit. As such, I forget some things, I miss somethings, and most often, some ideas in my head get jumbled together and it ends up not making sense some times. I am working to correct that as best as I can.
