Gods Among Men - Season 1

Ancient protectors. Modern tyrants. A city caught in the crossfire. In 2026, power is measured in military might and tech—until the earth splits open. Tade, a seventeen-year-old caught in the chaos, awakens the Ayanfe, legendary guardians from the ancient kingdom of Ile-Ominira, who have been dormant for 500 years. But the legends were lies. The Ayanfe haven't returned to save humanity; they’ve come to rule it. Led by the iron-fisted Ile and his fanatical Sons of the Earth, these ancient gods view modern Lagos as a kingdom to be reclaimed by force. As skyscrapers crumble under Ile’s terraforming power, the modern world’s defences prove useless. The government, paralysed by the arrival of beings that defy every law of science, can only watch as the city's streets become a divine battlefield. Trapped in a world that no longer makes sense, Tade’s only hope lies in a fragile alliance with three rogue Ayanfe who refuse to follow Ile’s tyranny: Ina: The master of the Eternal Flame. Omi: The guardian of the tides. Irin: The unbreakable spirit of metal and war. Together, they must stand against the Sons of the Earth in a desperate bid to save Lagos. In a clash between primitive gods and a modern world pushed to the brink, Tade will learn that when the earth rises, the only choice is to fight or be buried. The Awakening has begun. Will you bow or will you burn? [Release Schedule] MASS RELEASE: 3 Chapters on Monday (Launch Day)! DAILY UPDATES: 18:00 WAT / 01:00 CST **Don't miss the Awakening. Add to your Library now!**

Payback with the Don

Scarlett Snow, a 22-year-old CEO, spent years rebuilding her father’s company after his tragic murder. Through relentless dedication, she transformed it into one of New York’s top-ranking companies. Just when life finally seemed to be falling into place, everything collapsed. Two days before her wedding, Scarlett discovers her fiancé, Jason Sinclair, in bed with her best friend, Alia Mantara. But the betrayal runs deeper than she ever imagined. Jason reveals documents—signed under her name—that transfer all her assets, including her company and her late father’s properties worth over three billion won, into his control. With nothing left to hide, Jason turns against her completely—and moves to reopen her father’s murder case abd she is the prime suspect— the police would be more than thrilled to help. Alone, hunted, and stripped of everything, Scarlett has only one option: disappear. Under a false identity, she flees to Russia with a single burning vow—to reclaim what was stolen, uncover the truth behind her father’s death, and make those who betrayed her pay. Little does she know just how close and yet impossibly far her father’s murderer truly was to her. But fate has other plans. On her way, Scarlett is attacked. In her desperate escape, she collides with Xavier Grey—a ruthless, calculating, and dangerously charming Mafia Don. To Scarlett, Xavier is the perfect weapon she needs for her revenge— cold and calculating, with a heart devoid of any feelings. She offers him a deal: help her take revenge and uncover the truth behind her father’s murder. Xavier agrees… on one condition. He wants her body, her loyalty, her complete submission to him alone. With no other choice, Scarlett steps into the dark world of the Mafia—where power is everything, trust is an illusion, and secrets are deadly. But somewhere between danger and desire, something begins to change. Scarlett—who swore to feel nothing but vengeance—finds herself drawn to the very man she should fear. And Xavier? He doesn’t do love. As buried secrets begin to surface and the truth behind her father’s murder edges closer, Scarlett realizes the cost of her choices may be far greater than she ever imagined. Because in a world where love is weakness and trust is fatal… falling for Xavier Grey might be the most dangerous mistake of all. The story is a revenge-driven mafia romance that pits a vengeful, heartbroken woman against a dangerously charming Don. PLEASE READ WITH CAUTION ⚠️. THERE ARE SOME EXPLICIT AND VIOLENT SCENES IN THIS NOVEL. MUCH LOVE ❤️

Truth and Lies Intertwined

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly. But someone caught her and brought her favorite cake in front of her. “Don’t you want to taste it~?” Arya blushed. “You’re too foul!” ... Note: it's not harem nor reverse harem. It's 1vs1 from the beginning to the end. ...

Six Months Contract With The Mafia God

He was forbidden. My brother's best friend. Also the most dangerous man in the country. And I signed myself over to him. Leah Thorne had one rule: stay away from Dimitri Valentino. It shouldn't have been difficult. He was ruthless, feared, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only truly dangerous things are. The kind of man who owned nightclubs, commanded armies, and made grown men weep with a single look. The kind of man her brother Mike trusted with his life. The kind of man she had absolutely no business wanting. But one shattered marriage, one bottle of whiskey, and one catastrophically bad decision later, Leah wakes up in Dimitri's bed with a signed contract on the nightstand and six months of her life no longer her own. Her body. His rules. No exceptions. The contract is iron-clad, the penalty clause suffocating — fifty million dollars she doesn't have. And Dimitri Valentino, the Wolf of the Italian underworld, has absolutely no intention of letting her go. He says he'll ruin her for other men. He's not lying. Because beneath the cold control and the thousand-dollar suits is a man who has wanted her for seven sinful years — who has memorized the curve of her smile, the sound of her laugh, and exactly how to take her apart piece by piece until the only word left in her vocabulary is his name. Eve came to him broken, looking to feel wanted. She never expected to feel owned. She never expected to love it. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God is a scorching dark romance about forbidden hunger, dangerous obsession, and the catastrophic moment a good girl stops running from the wolf who has always been hunting her. Some contracts change everything. Some men are worth the fine print.
