WARNING: ITS A 18+ BOOK Heena stretched on the warm sand, sipping coconut water. Finally, peace. No scheming heroines, no brooding male leads—just her and the ocean. “HEENA! MOTHER! I FOUND YOU!” Her eye twitched. Not now. Floating above the beach was a golden lion with sparkling wings. “System 547,” she said, gritting her teeth. “I’m on vacation.” “But the worlds are collapsing! Male leads are going crazy! Villainesses are dying! White lotus heroines are ruining everything!” “Not my problem.” “You’re the Black Lotus! Only you can fix this!” “Exactly why I deserve a vacation.” “No rules! Slap them, seduce them, team up with the villainess—anything!” Heena sipped her coconut. “If I say yes, triple points, rare items from every world, and six months vacation after.” “Done! Anything!” the lion shouted, tail wagging. Heena stood, brushing sand off. “Fine. Show me these broken male leads.” Her smirk was dangerous. . . . The portal threw Heena onto cold marble floors. Her head spun as чуж memories flooded in. Empress Celeste Ravencourt. Five husbands. A dying empire. “Great,” Heena muttered. “I’m the villain.” A tiny golden lion appeared beside her. “Welcome to World 12! You’re married to five powerful men who all hate you. They’re meeting tonight to poison you and crown the heroine instead.” “Let me guess,” Heena sighed. “White lotus?” “Lady Seraphina. Sweet, kind, system-backed. They’re all in love with her.” Heena rubbed her temples. The body was weak, starved, exhausted. No wonder Celeste died so easily. “Fine,” she said, pulling off the heavy jewelry. “That empress is dead. I’m not.” She chose a simple dark dress, tied her hair up, and met her reflection. The sadness vanished. Confidence took its place. At dinner, five men waited—cold, powerful, deadly handsome. Warriors, priests, generals, spies. Every one of them wanted her gone. Wine was poured into her glass. Poisoned. Obvious. They watched her closely. Heena lifted the glass, smiling lightly. “To new beginnings.” She drank it all. The silence cracked. Nothing happened. Their faces changed—shock, fear, disbelief. Heena leaned back, calm and smiling. “Now,” she said softly, “which one of you thought killing me would be that easy?” AUTHORS NOTE: Thank you so much for all the support!

Lior has always heard the stars speak in a language no one else can understand. One restless night on the edge of an abandoned observatory, that quiet pull becomes a summons: a living shimmer of light on the horizon, an orb of blue-violet energy that calls them across the boundary between worlds. They step through and fall into the Between—a realm of black-glass plains veined with starlight, drifting constellations that move too slowly, and ruins that remember older wars. Hunters of pure shadow pour through the weakening seams of reality, drawn to any presence that does not fully belong to a single world. Lior is such a presence: a Thin One, able to touch doors others cannot even see. In a sealed chamber of breathing stone and living symbols, Lior meets three who have already survived the Between. Kael, iron-still and relentless, fights as though every motion has already been decided. Nyx, sharp-edged and laughing, moves like freedom given blades. Seris, half-light and half-memory, speaks for the boundaries themselves. Together they teach Lior that power without control is only a louder way to die. Through instinct, terror, and hard-won stillness, Lior learns to open sealed ruins, to hold light as invitation rather than weapon, and finally to claim a fragment left by the Thin One who came before—an anchor of the old boundary itself. The fragment brings memory, strength, and a second heartbeat that makes Lior far more visible to the things that hunt. Now the seals hold a little longer. The shadows gather a little closer. And the stars keep watching, waiting to see whether this new Thin One will spend the borrowed time the way the last one did… or find another way entirely.

Grimvale is a dystopian city suffocating under the weight of a rampant virus known as Disorder, which mutates its victims into terrifying, monstrous beings known as Freakers. Amidst the chaos, seventeen-year-old Daito Greyhell walks a dangerous line between survival and humanity. Trained by his father, a fallen hero, and his uncle, a ruthless killer, Daito is a master of combat — but it’s his unwavering moral compass that sets him apart in a city where corruption and violence reign. Daito becomes a reluctant protector, quietly battling the Freakers that plague Grimvale, using his skills to save those he can, even if it means walking away from the bloodied streets feeling more burdened than ever. But when the government deploys the "Savages" — dangerous individuals who gain monstrous power through the alchemy of human sacrifice — Daito's resolve is tested. In a city where strength is bought through sacrifice, Daito refuses to succumb to the same brutal path, even as he faces new, twisted enemies. As a wave of Savages sweeps through the city, led by those who believe that power and mercy must be bought with blood, Daito must confront not only the Freakers and Savages but the growing question of what it means to truly fight for what’s right. Torn between duty, grief, and the desire to hold onto his humanity, Daito must find a way to carry Grimvale’s broken weight without becoming a monster himself. But the city's dark heart is closing in, and soon, even the strongest may not survive without losing everything. Grimvale is a tale of survival, sacrifice, and the price of power in a world that has forgotten what it means to be human.

This is a novel about a former human who becomes a demon because of a game. He lives his life as a demon from the Abyss, crossing into other worlds. (There will be different systems in use, different plots, and different powers. Expect cultivation systems, game systems, magic systems, and much more.) His main objective is to destroy and cause chaos throughout the multiverse. This novel also uses a ranking system that affects both anime and comic universes. Void becomes a Primordial Demon and, step by step, changes the views of all races about demons. Demons are not weak; demons are beings of pure chaos. Note that the MC is cruel and indifferent to life. This is a dark novel, so don't expect a Son of Destiny. In fact, Void isn't a villain...he is far, far crueler. Do not read if you are weak-minded.

When Rosalind follows her father to a grand banquet in the kingdom of Eryndor, she expects nothing but humiliation as her father intends to pawn her off to settle his gambling debts. Rosalind is fiercely unwilling to be controlled and is definitely unprepared for the attention of King Alaric, the kingdom’s feared tyrant whose dangerous charm and ruthless reputation make the bravest men tremble and women weak in their knees. Intrigued by her defiance, Alaric claims Rosalind as his own, and suddenly she is trapped in his castle, under the scrutiny of his watchful eyes, sinful tongue, and burning touch. Desperate to escape, she discovers a secret ally in a mysterious servant, one whose true identity shocks her and forces her to question everything she thought was real, with the fact that her father hadn't been in debt at all but had handed her to the malicious king with evil intentions. Rosalind finds herself caught between two men: the controlling, prideful king who desires her completely, and the enigmatic servant who sees her as more than a prize. In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

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.

[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.

She wasn't supposed to exist in his world. Navi wakes up in a time that doesn't recognize her- where her face, her voice, even her presence feels... wrong. To everyone else, she's a threat. Something unnatural. Something to be erased. But to him- she's impossible to ignore. A prince bound by duty. A girl lost in time. They can't understand each other's words... but he understands her fear. And she's starting to trust the one man who could either protect her- or destroy her completely.

Before time, before matter, there was the Absolute Being—an existence born from nothing and cast into an endless void. That void, stretched infinitely in every direction, offering no sound, no light, or any change. Eternity passed in silence, and isolation became the Being’s only companion. To escape the crushing stillness, the Absolute Being began to create. From that emptiness, emerged countless worlds—each shaped by different laws, each seeded with entities and lifeforms of staggering variety. To these creations, the Being granted power—forces that allowed them to build civilizations, wage wars, forge peace, and govern the fragile balance of their worlds. Some used their gifts to protect existence, while others sought domination or annihilation. Entire histories unfolded beneath the Being’s distant gaze. All of it served a single purpose: entertainment. The struggles, triumphs, and tragedies of mortals filled "a" Void with motion and meaning. Yet as ages turned into eternities, even creation itself grew predictable. The rise and fall of worlds blurred together, and the Absolute Being found itself once more staring into boredom as vast as the Void it had tried to escape. At last, the Being reached an unsettling conclusion. If creation was no longer enough… then there was only one way left to be truly entertained. And so, the final experiment began.
