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.

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.

Join Discord - https://discord.gg/AnTWAbTEW --- Su Ming was a regular office worker. Then one bad day (and one fatal overtime shift) later, he woke up in the Heavenly Cloud Sect, one of the greatest cultivation sects under the heavens. Sounds amazing, right? A fresh start, endless opportunities, beautiful mountains, flying swords, except… His master had already vanished. His new title? Peak Master of White Lotus Peak. White Lotus Peak’s glorious legacy? Dust, an incomplete cultivation technique that nobody understands, and exactly zero disciples. No resources. No prestige. No future. And to make matters worse, he was already a cripple - on a ticking clock. … Su Ming rubbed his temples. “Really? Out of all the possibilities, I get this?” He sighed. But if the heavens thought he would quietly play the role of a washed-up cripple, they clearly underestimated an overworked office worker who had binge-read far too many cultivation novels. Follow our Peak Master as he stumbles, schemes, and occasionally slashes his way through the mysterious world of cultivation—amid heaven’s chosen, young masters, villains, and “protagonists”… all while uncovering the so-called mysteries of the great Dao.

As a pacifist by nature, I never thought I’d be awakened… right before the Summit War, just as Ace was thrown into prison. In the world of pirates, I have returned — as your worst nightmare, and as the embodiment of death itself. Sengoku: "Whitebeard, I won’t kill Ace. Just… help the Navy deal with that thing!" Shanks: "Oh dear… what a terrifying creature. Maybe we can all just pretend this never happened, yeah?" Akainu: "Damn it! What the hell is that thing?! It's EATING my magma like snacks!" Kizaru: "Scary stuff, huh? My light attacks feel like mosquito bites…" Aokiji: "Sorry. I… I can’t freeze that thing at all." The Five Elders: "Damn it! Who the hell let it out?!"

*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.

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.

Ten years ago, mana descended upon Earth in the form of Gates that opened into other worlds.
