What are the chances an orphan goes from scrubbing floors to becoming a Duchess in forty-eight hours? 100%— I would know because it happened to me. Only I wish I had a choice. Because the man I'm supposed to call "father," Baron Tobias Fletcher, sold me off like livestock the moment he found me. Nineteen years of wondering where I came from, and this is how it ends? Not with a family. Not with answers. With a wedding contract and a husband who never removes his mask. The Duke of Wellspring. Nevan Wilder. Every fiancée before me? Dead. Mad. Or gone — vanished like they never existed. They say he kills his brides the night they see what's underneath. So shame on me for thinking meeting my father would finally end my misery. And shame on me twice because when the Duke took my hand in that ballroom, his touch ice-cold and impossibly gentle, I didn't feel fear. I felt something worse. I felt safe. Now I'm trapped in his estate, married to a man the whole kingdom fears, and the more I uncover, the less anything makes sense. Because if Nevan truly kills his brides, why is he trying so desperately to keep me alive? And whatever he's hiding beneath that mask? It's not the thing I should be afraid of.

What is a thief? Where are the lines of good or evil drawn? In a cruel world like this, the answer is never that simple. Amid the people of Vagis, a youthful and fame hungry Kassius Moore grew up preparing for his future as he strives to reach the top of the world in a way not everyone does; by stealing. The fortune gained is magnificent, the infamy is extraordinary but the cost is immense. Will Kassius be able to reach the top and attain his goal, or will he fall victim to the fate of many other thieves before him?

The mad vampire has broken countless humans. He never expected one to break him back. Hiln never meant to catch a vampire lord's attention.

It almost works, until she is discovered by none other than the one Lord no one dares to cross. But Hiln is more than she appears. And when he pushes her to the edge of despair, an ancient force in her veins chains the most feared vampire in the realm to her will. Now he is bound to her, and the craving he feels for her blood, her body, and the woman who should be his victim, is slowly driving him mad. In a world built on power and cruelty, two enemies are about to discover that the line between hatred and desire is thin. She was supposed to be his prey. Instead, she became his obsession.

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

WARNING!!! , SOME CHAPTERS IN THIS NOVEL CONTAINS EXPLICIT SCENES "Sign it, Aria. Don’t make this more pathetic than it already is." The smell of his expensive cologne mixed sickeningly with the scent of her stepsister’s perfume on the damp hotel sheets. Julian didn’t look like the man who had whispered promises of forever an hour ago; he looked like a predator closing a trap. Beside him, Elena smirked, pulling the silk duvet higher over her shoulder—a silent, triumphant taunt. "You were having sex with her," Aria whispered, her voice cracking as the roar of the fashion show’s bass thumped through the walls of the dressing suite. "On my runway night. In our bed." "Technically, it’s my bed now," Elena chirped, her eyes gleaming with malice. "Just like it’s my lead spot in the show. You’re trending, sister. But not for the fashion." Julian shoved the fountain pen into Aria’s trembling hand. "The scandal hits the press in ten minutes. Your career is dead, your reputation is ashes, and this divorce is your only way out before the sponsors sue you for every cent you own. Sign the papers, take your shame, and disappear." With a numb heart and a hand that felt like ice, Aria scribbled her name, severing her life. An hour later, rain lashed against the neon lights of the city as she stumbled into a darkened bar, a ghost in a couture gown. She didn't want comfort; she wanted to feel something other than the knife in her back. When the man in the corner—shadowed, lethal, and radiating a terrifying power—offered her his hand and a night of forgetting, she took it. She didn't know his name. She didn't know he was the most dangerous man in the financial world. She only knew that as she walked away from the wreckage of her life the next morning, she was carrying a secret that would one day bring the world to its knees.

Kailen Darkhaven once lived a simple, happy life. But after a sudden tragedy claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By seventeen, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had become. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened—bound to a mysterious artifact of overwhelming, incomprehensible power, an object that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him once more. With this second chance, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines status, identity, and survival, he will rise beyond every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of power. He will seize control of his fate. And he will climb until he stands at the absolute pinnacle of the universe. Note: As the plot develops, the MC becomes very tactical, sometimes making use of psychological and tactical acumen to deal with opponents in certain situations. If you are into MCs who can really scheme and are several steps ahead of their enemies, then this novel for you. --- Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

*Please, read this till the end; Trust me, this is not your regular repititive smut romance; When Benjamin Mark dies a lonely virgin after a lifetime of work and illness, mischievous gods grant him a steamy second chance in the fantasy world of Elyndor. Reborn with a handsome new body, infinite stamina, and a cheeky System designed to help him “enjoy life,” Benjamin stumbles into the hidden paradise of Verdant Spire—an ancient forest enclave inhabited solely by fierce, voluptuous Amazon warriors. These proud women, who normally venture out only to seek temporary mates, have never allowed a man to live among them… until now. Rescued and claimed by the passionate scout Sara, Benjamin quickly discovers that his arrival is seen as a divine gift. With the System unlocking tantalizing new abilities with every intimate encounter, he becomes the cherished center of an eager, all-female tribe—from attentive warriors to the commanding Queen herself. In a village where strength, beauty, and desire rule, one reincarnated man is about to fulfill every unspoken regret of his past life… one breathless night at a time. A sinful isekai harem fantasy of reincarnation, endless stamina, and the ultimate male wish-fulfillment. There's some Yuri in some chapters. I made sure to tag the chapters where I suddenly add some trope. The bonus chapters are where I dive deeper into some plots, and exploring world building, without slowing down the main story. Skip it if you only want Benjamin's journey, because there you might find flashbacks of other characters and history, which could include gore, NTR for other characters, or other things concerning the world building. Readers who skip bonuses still get the exclusive pure harem/power fantasy ride, while those who read them, who like the entire plot above smut, get richer side stories. I repeat, do not spend coins on bonus chapters if you only want Benjamin's journey and power fantasy. If you want a whole epic saga, then dive into the bonuses too and enjoy the story. Core harem (Amazons who love/claim the MC, fairies like Clay who confess, sluts who abandon old lives for him) stays 100% loyal—no desires elsewhere, and no cheating. That's the promise I made. If you're looking for 100% exclusive loyalty from the actual love interests, it's all there—no worries. I appreciate the support from everyone enjoying the ride! Note; The Author is a super nice person. If you want to drop reasonable suggestions or advise, they're open. But please note; if you insult, abuse, or accuse them, they will defend themselves. Some folks literally pop up and say horrible stuff because the story was not THEIR story. Please, let us coexist in peace. I love peace. But if it's war, though we'll not like it, yeah; come abuse the Author.

✓ MASSIVE RELEASE ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH.✓ BLURB: “We are sorry Maria, we never meant to hurt you. Come back to us!" They all thundered. But it was too late, I was determined to make them Pay. *** I am Maria Moon, casted out of my Pack at the age of eighteen. All because of a tradition— one that states, that which ever family the Alpha's mate comes from, any other female wolf of same status is cast out. But it all felt wrong, It wasn't supposed to be me but her— my step sister— Patricia Moon. “I, Darren Copper, Alpha of the Frost moon pack, hereby declare that Maria Moon is no longer a member of this pack!” I pleaded for them to see the truth but no one cared, they were all blinded by their love for her. I became a rogue, wandered about for days and was unfortunate to attacked by the older rogues. And even more unfortunate to be saved by the quadruplet Alpha's, my Pack rival Alpha's. *** “Isn't she the Beta's daughter of Frost moon pack?" Damien growled as he turned to his brothers. “Definitely, she looks the same even after five years!" Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid." Adrien chuckled lightly, a sly smirk appearing across his lips. “Nice idea Aidan. We would make her suffer!" CONTENT WARNING. This book contains explicit scenes, abuses, graphic violence and dark obsessive romance. Readers discretion advised.

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed. He approached slowly, his expression cold and unreadable. “You can’t die without my permission.” -------------- Mila Vega, a promising heart surgeon, lived her life on her own terms until she saved a stranger, until she found out the weak and injured man she had brought home was a ruthless devil. Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”

In a world where the boundary between reality and games has vanished, only the strongest survive the brutal arenas known as SSS-Ranked Games. Each trial pushes challengers to the edge of their limits, demanding not just strength but wit, loyalty, and courage. The journey begins with The Gem Trials, where a group of unlikely heroes face monstrous beasts, deadly deserts, and mysterious islands in their quest for a legendary gem. Just as victory seems within reach, the challenges escalate into the frozen battleground of Antarctica, where the icy wastelands hide ancient powers and rival teams waiting to strike. From there, the competitors are thrown into the ruthless Ego League, where pride, ambition, and betrayal matter as much as skill. Friendships are tested, and every match could be their last. Finally, the survivors must confront the deadly reality of Crimson High, the most dangerous and stylish school where only the strongest, fastest, and most cunning players can rise above endless rivalries. At every stage, the games evolve—monsters become stronger, strategies more complex, and enemies deadlier. To reach the pinnacle of the SSS-Ranked Games, the players must uncover hidden truths about themselves, outsmart their rivals, and fight with everything they have. Because in this world, defeat doesn’t just mean losing a game… it means losing everything.

Warning: Heavy sexual content and a fucked up male lead. Throw morally grey out the window. Excerpt: "Do you trust me?" His hand drifted to her neck. If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’. He grants favours but gets your soul in return. When Luca comes to collect a debt from her father, the payment demanded is flesh. Veronica becomes both Luca’s weakness and his obsession.
