We've all read those mafia romances. The one where the godly handsome, picture-perfect, extremely ruthless mafia king rejects all the gorgeous, sexy ladies ( even though he's slept with half of them ) for the beautiful, innocent, untouched, holier-than-thou common woman who only marries him to pay off her sick grandma's medical bills and then slowly ends up falling for him. This is not one of those stories. Excerpt: Lynx stepped a little closer to his target, his intentions far from subtle. "Having a good night?" he asked, pretending to watch the couples swaying across the ballroom floor. "Why wouldn't I be?" Shayna replied without looking at him. "Merely observing," Lynx chuckled. "Are you missing someone?" he continued, staring ahead. "Are there no other beautiful women for you to entertain?" Shayna whispered, slightly annoyed. "There are," he admitted, his chest rising slightly. "But there is only one I can't seem to look away from." A faint blush crept across Shayna's cheeks before she turned her head. "And what exactly do you want from this lucky woman?" A smile tugged at his lips. "A dance, perhaps. And a smoke afterwards." .......................................................................... Shayna Hazel Alonso doesn't qualify as a lady by any known definition of the word. She smokes too much, curses like a sailor, and hates male chivalry from the depths of her heart. But she has a secret. Shayna lives a double life as a corporate employee who just wants to get through the day and Vixen, the underworld's infamous prodigy, who unfortunately attracts the most questionable kinds of people. After years of betrayal—first by the father who sold her into prostitution, and then by the people she once believed were just like her—Shayna has finally learned not to trust anyone. And for the last time, she does not want to deal with any more shit. Naturally, life has other plans. So what happens when she ends up stealing from the one person nobody in their right mind would ever cross? In the underworld, everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. Until they do. And that's when people become, for lack of a better phrase... Morally Fucked. P.S. The FMC of the story is strictly child-free and will remain so throughout the story. I will publish 1 bonus chapter per 200 collections and 2 bonus chapters per 20 golden tickets.

Rolan, a 35-year-old office worker from Earth, never imagined his life would end under the divine wheels of the most feared deity in all dimensions — the God of Reincarnation and Transmigration, known only as Truck-kun. But fate, it seems, had grander plans. Awakening in the body of a dead teenage cabin boy drifting through the perilous seas of the One Piece world, Rolan quickly discovers his new vessel wasn’t ordinary — it came bound to a mysterious and powerful System. Armed with this cheat-like ability and memories of a world that once viewed pirates as fiction, Rolan decides to abandon all notions of destiny or morality. In this chaotic sea ruled by monsters, Marines, and legends, he’ll carve out a new path — one driven not by justice or dreams... but by freedom. Will he rise as a pirate feared across the Grand Line? After all — this is no longer Luffy’s story. This is Rolan’s era — the tale of a man reborn to live as he wishes, in a world where only the strong can truly be free.

I am Jina... Ever since I was a kid I wrote many short things... yet there was a novel I wrote as a teenager it was a cringe action novel full of clichés... I never became a writer... I failed and became an average office worker.... but... my book merged with reality... making me meet my original characters.... can I survive? can I help people evade their death? am I strong enough? I can never answer these questions unless I actually engage with the story...

reworked as of 3rd July 2026 Reborn as Raime Virex within the Borderlands universe 18 years prior to the Vault Hunters arrival in Fyrestone. Raime had prepared himself for what awaits him, he had the opportunity to gain power and live free, taking advantage of what he knew while preparing for 'The Great War' he knew that was coming. ------------------------------- spoiler of potential future story: 1 - As of now ive decided to ground it to strictly Borderlands universe only, though i may decide at some point multiverse element if thats how I decide to expand the story but ive decided for now it will stick to purely the Borderlands universe for consistency and deeper story world building 2 - Raime will be born normal as a Human but given the information of Borderlands 4 about the Siren Dimension I will potentially have him gain powers, but dont expect it, I 'MAY', I dont want a power creep to occur 3 - ive read up on some webnovel rules, and so long as I make the fic or novel appropriate rating I dont have to hold back, which I dont plan to, if you are uncomfortable with death, gore, and other non specified tags which everyone is aware of, not that I will do all of them but because it is a fictional work these elements may be used as a way for me to develop in writing for my novel without holding back. fictional is fiction, please remember that, best example, Reverend Insanity novel, as such I wont hold back if a scene presents the option to develop it as mentioned before, but I will try to obviously avoid writing it but hint that it happens off screen if it is doable 4 - if you dont like anything about the story, leave, no one wants to hear your departure ;) ------------------------------- Love Interests spoiler: yes (s) there are two of them only Angel and Lilith ---------------- That's all, please leave a review after at least giving it a try and please give feedback so I can improve, thank you.

Things like transmigration were impossible until you became a victim! This was what happened to Sienna Mills, a competitive eater who died while livestreaming herself eating chicken feet! And when she opened her eyes, she was Sienna Miller, the notorious horny, lazy and fat wife of Fox Lord Elias Veythar, leader of the fox clan in an interstellar beast world! She was also an uncaring mother for their two pups. Even worse than her reputation, she had no mental or physical strength in a world where someone was supposed to have one of the two. She was a waste of air and space! Everyone was whispering about her looming divorce which would naturally lead to a miserable ending. In every novel she had read, a character like her was always abandoned, crippled or left to die alone as a beggar. She had arrived on the very day the divorce papers were served. But unlike the original Sienna, this one had a secret. A pet taming system that she could use to pass off as a mental ability. However, the system had other plans. It bound Elias Veythar as her pet, complete with loyalty protocols, obedience triggers and a collar! But how was she supposed to tame the beast man feared across the realm for his ruthless power and icy charm? Step 1-Rip up the divorce papers and turn the Fox Lord into a doting husband. When she said 'sit' he walked out of the house. When she said 'roll' his bodyguards put her in a rug and rolled her out of the house. Determined to save her life and change the dramatic ending in her mind, she eyed the pups. Step 2- Teach the pups first and the father will follow. Once again, she was put in a rug and rolled out. Step 3-Teach the in-laws, the pups would pick up and the father would fall in line. Water was splashed in her face, then she was rolled out in a rug! Step 4-Take no bullshit, kick ass and dominate! Then everyone would fall in line.

Ten years ago, mana descended upon Earth in the form of Gates that opened into other worlds. These Gates contained Magical Beasts of unfathomable strength and power that preyed upon humans and sought the destruction of everything around them. But along with the Gates, humans gained the power of Gifts—super abilities that allowed them to fight back against the monsters and take back their world. Now, the Superhumans with Gifts are tasked with defending the people and ensuring that the Gates, which open all over the world, do not bring about the end of them all. ... Jason Marc was just your regular seventeen-year-old high school student whose father abandoned him ten years ago. He worked two part-time jobs while also helping his mom with her diner to aid with the finances, but he could have never guessed that his entire world would change on the eve of his eighteenth birthday. Now, with more power than any one man should possess and an army at his beck and call, Jason works toward protecting those close to him while finding out the truth behind the emergence of the Gates—and preventing the end of the world. ....

[Cultivation] + [Cautious/Steady Development] + [Keywords] + [Longevity] + [Sign-In] + [Fast-Paced] (New book launch! I am not the original author of this book, just translating. The original author is Ai Chi Gan Shao Hong Yu De Lou Ying) Han Xuanji transmigrated to a cultivation world and discovered that everyone in the cultivation realm is extremely competitive. For someone like him with no talent, no resources, and no background cultivation is incredibly difficult. Fortunately, he activated the Sign-In System. As long as he signs in at places filled with Dao resonance, he can receive all kinds of rewards. Signing in in front of the Patriarch’s statue, he obtained the keyword: [Talent of an Immortal]. [Talent of an Immortal]: A term used in the cultivation world to refer to those with top-tier talent. You possess immortal spiritual roots far superior to heavenly spiritual roots. You have full attribute compatibility and are suited to practice any cultivation method. Signing in at the Dao Transmission Stele, he obtained the keyword: [Extraordinary Comprehension]. Signing in at the Pill Refining Hall, he obtained a bottle of supreme-grade pills. Signing in at the Sect’s Treasury, he received a chest of supreme-grade spirit stones. While others bitterly cultivate and clash with demonic cultivators, Han Xuanji slacks off and checks in daily within the sect. All kinds of spiritual pills, divine weapons, and peerless techniques are at his fingertips. In short, Han Xuanji just lies low within the sect. As for going out to explore and adventure? Only fools would do that! P.S.: This is a "cautious cultivation" novel. The protagonist focuses on development and doesn’t act arrogant or slap faces.

Some debts do not disappear with death. When someone dies with something unresolved, they do not pass on. They remain. They decay. They become an entity born from the weight of what was left unfinished. Broken promises, hidden guilt, words never spoken… everything takes shape. Yüta never believed in it until the night he saw one of them staring back at him. Dragged into a secret network of hunters who defeat these entities in order to release them, he soon discovers that defeating them is not always the hardest part. Some want to be heard. Others seek revenge. And some believe humanity does not deserve to continue existing. In a world where every death leaves a crack, the question is not how to fight… but who has the right to decide what deserves to rest.

On the night before her wedding, Arabella Montclair believed she was the luckiest wolf alive. Mated to the powerful Alpha Victor Ashford. Chosen by the Moon Goddess. Finally free from a lifetime of living in her stepmother’s shadow. She poured her heart into planning the perfect ceremony, convinced that tomorrow would mark the beginning of her happily ever after. Instead, it became the day her world shattered. Before the entire Silver Moon Pack, Arabella walks into her own wedding hall, only to find her mate standing at the altar with another bride. Her stepsister. Humiliated and exposed, her most guarded secret is revealed: she carries an F-class fertility rating, deemed cursed, unworthy of bearing an heir. In a world where fertility defines a wolf’s value, she is rejected, discarded, and publicly stripped of her title as mate. “I reject you.” With those words, her bond is severed. Her wolf falls silent. And Arabella is condemned to the lowest fate imaginable, declared a breeder, a life worse than slavery. Beaten. Broken. Forgotten. But fate is far from finished with her. On the very day she is cast aside, the immortal Lycan King, Enzo Obsidian, arrives unannounced at Silver Moon Pack. A ruthless ruler with violet eyes and centuries of power behind him, Enzo has come to investigate corruption festering within the pack. He expected deceit. He expected betrayal. He expected blood. He did not expect her. Among the women paraded before him as entertainment, one figure stands out, a girl in torn white lace, head bowed, silent yet defiant. She smells of pain… and something far rarer. She does not belong there. As secrets unravel and hidden truths surface, the rejected breeder may be more than what anyone believes. And the king who fears nothing may soon find himself entangled in a fate neither of them saw coming. Because sometimes, the one deemed unworthy by a pack… is the one destined to stand beside a king.

**She came to steal a plant. She left utterly destroyed and completely his** Aria Chen is a woman who wears many masks: brilliant hacker, underground artist, medical prodigy. But none of those identities can save her dying mother from a rare disease with only one cure a nearly extinct medicinal plant called Vitalis Radix, cultivated exclusively on the private estate of billionaire CEO Damien Blackwood. Desperate and running out of time, Aria does the unthinkable: she infiltrates his fortress-like mansion as a maid under a false identity, planning to steal the plant and vanish before anyone discovers the truth. The plan is simple. "Get in. Get the plant. Get out." Until she meets him. Damien Blackwood is power incarnate ruthlessly intelligent, devastatingly handsome, and dangerously observant. From their first encounter, the attraction between them is explosive, undeniable, and completely forbidden. When he makes her his personal maid, Aria thinks she's been given the perfect access to complete her mission. She has no idea he's been waiting for her. He knows exactly who she is. And he's going to make her pay. But his punishment won't come in the form of police or prosecution. It comes in whispered commands in the darkness. In his hands claiming every inch of her virgin body. In the way he teaches her that pleasure and control are two sides of the same coin. "You're mine now. Every hole. Every moan. Every desperate whimper when you beg me to let you come." Aria is a virgin who's never experienced desire, never understood her own body's capacity for pleasure. Damien becomes her sexual awakening and her complete undoing. He introduces her to a world of dark eroticism she never knew existed remote-controlled vibrators she must wear while serving his dinner guests, sex in his office while he's on business calls, punishments that leave her marked and aching and desperate for more. She becomes addicted. To his touch. To his dominance. To the way he makes her body sing with pleasures she didn't know were possible. Every encounter pushes her boundaries further. Every night in his bed pulls her deeper into obsession. He's possessive to the point of madness, jealous of every man who looks at her, determined to own not just her body but her very soul. "When I'm done with you, you won't remember your own name. You'll only remember mine." As Aria falls deeper into Damien's web of dominance and desire, her mission becomes impossible to separate from her feelings. Her mother is dying. Time is running out. But every night in his arms makes her question what she's willing to sacrifice. When he finally catches her in the greenhouse, hands covered in soil and guilt written across her face, the confrontation is explosive. "Did you really think I didn't know? That I haven't been ten steps ahead this entire time? You played your game, Aria. Now it's time for mine." Betrayal. Rage. Raw, punishing sex that blurs the line between fury and passion.

THE GAME OF ASCENSION (Phase I — The Pikra War) The world was never ruled by kings. It was ruled by players. Two figures move civilizations like pieces on a cosmic chessboard: The Misunderstood Revolutionary. The Exiled Prodigy. And humanity is caught between them. What begins through the eyes of an ordinary side character slowly unfolds into a war spanning factions, dimensions, forgotten histories, and godlike beings known as the Asuras — ancient enemies of the Devas who once shook existence itself. At the center of it all stands one monster among men: Kae The man called the smartest human alive. The Seventh Asura Community Ruler. The greatest disciple of the legendary Gomo Taka. A being so terrifyingly gifted that he was considered worthy of leading the Immortalus Society at the age of fifty — a position even prodigies spend centuries chasing. But genius alone does not create monsters. Kae controls civilizations from the shadows, raising kingdoms and destroying nations for a single purpose: To ensure he always has enough pawns. To some, he is a savior. To others, the greatest threat in history. And the worst part? He might actually be right. As wars intensify and truths begin collapsing, one realization becomes unavoidable: The Pikra War was never the end. It was merely the opening move. --- What to Expect Multiple protagonists and shifting POVs Psychological warfare and political manipulation Cosmic power systems and ancient factions Morally grey characters Mastermind vs mastermind conflicts Large-scale wars and strategic battles Long-term mysteries and foreshadowing Villains who feel terrifyingly human --- In this game, there are no heroes. Only players. And pieces waiting to realize they were never free. ---

Chen Han obtained a game system that was supposed to transmigrate him into the game world of Shu Mountain Swordsman. However, the transmigration failed, and as a result, the game system became a little… weird. [The Canine Demon has arrived before you, wantonly unleashing a dense demonic aura. Please expel the Canine Demon immediately!] Chen Han stared in absolute bewilderment at the little mutt lifting a leg to pee against the corner of the wall. It was just the stray dog from the village. [A Clan Elder has appeared and is standing by to back you up. Please expel the Canine Demon immediately!] Chen Han took another glance at the little old lady standing to the side, cheerfully watching the standoff between man and dog.

A thousand years ago, a Rain of Evolution fell, and the world entered the Era of Evolution. Animals, plants, and humans all gained the potential to evolve into higher-level life forms. However, the human method of evolution is unique; they must absorb the extracts of higher-level life forms to complete their evolution, and each time they absorb an extract, they also acquire a skill from the extract's original owner. Absorb the extract of an “Undying Salamander” and gain the ability of limb regeneration; Absorb the extract of an “Iron Armor Oyster” and possess a flexible gender; Absorb the extract of a “Forest Giant Cockroach” and transform into an unkillable cockroach; Su Ze has come to this world, but before he can begin his evolution, he must solve his life-and-death crisis. “My name is Su Ze.” “I originally thought I had transmigrated and become a scion of a powerful official, but I never expected that I was just his clone, a scapegoat for him to escape punishment, a tool used for him to fake his death and get away.” “What's worse is, I'm scheduled to be executed tomorrow, but my cheat has not yet arrived...”
