"So needy, little El," he murmured, his voice thick with dark amusement. Then, i felt the press of his finger at my entrance. When he plunged it inside, a jolt of pure, electric shock seized my body. I jerked, but their hands hend my hip down, pinning me.  What was this new, overwhelming sensation. I clenched around his finger involuntarily, a broken moan escaping me as he pulled out, only to thrust back in slowly. This wasn't fair. They were the ones who had deceived me. Why was i the one being punished like this? Another skilled finger found my clit, rubbing tight, frantic circles. I didn't know which was one of them was doing it as Kieran's pace inside me wasn't slowing and my body was jerking helplessly with every thrust.

Lin Yue thought her family's love was eternal—until the night they sold her soul to a demonic cultivator. Betrayed by her own blood, stripped of her rare Pure Yin spiritual root, and left to die on Desolate Peak, she learned the cruelest truth: in the cultivation world, mortals are expendable dust. But death refused her. An ancient phoenix spirit, dormant for ten thousand years, chose her shattered body as its vessel. Lin Yue awakened with celestial flames in her meridians and vengeance in her heart. The worthless daughter with no cultivation talent is dead. Rising from her ashes is a cultivation genius whose very existence threatens the heavens. Five years later, she returns as Fairy Yue of the Celestial Dawn Sect—a Core Formation expert whose medical alchemy can resurrect the dying and whose sword techniques make immortals kneel. Beautiful, ruthless, untouchable. The girl who begged for scraps of affection has transcended mortality itself. Now the cultivation world trembles. Her traitorous family seeks her aid. Her ex-betrothed who mocked her dares to ask for her hand. But the one who truly unnerves her is Jun Wuya—the legendary Immortal Venerable of Endless Night, whose ten-thousand-year isolation broke the day her phoenix flame ignited. Cold as winter frost to all creation, yet he watches her with obsidian eyes that burn with recognition: "You carry my fated one's soul." She seeks vengeance and immortality. He seeks to sever his last earthly attachment. But destiny has bound them as dual cultivation partners, and the Dao demands a choice neither wants to make: ascend together and abandon humanity, or sacrifice immortality for a love that shouldn't exist.

She read the novel. She hated the villainess. She shared the same name. And then… she woke up as her. Seo Yeon-hwa never understood why the villainess in the famous chaebol romance novel Blooming Winter was so pathetic. Why chase a man who didn’t love her? Why cling to a childhood engagement contract that meant nothing? Why become wicked after her father fell into a coma? Why destroy everything her parents built? Real Yeon-hwa mocked her every night— until the night she died and opened her eyes in the villainess’s body. In the gilded mansion of the Seo family. With maids whispering about her crying over her fiancé. With the world knowing her as the clingy daughter who embarrassed her family. With a broken engagement. A collapsing business. A father in a coma. A rival chaebol tearing down everything they owned. And the worst part? A blue holographic screen appeared before her eyes: [Villainess Reformation System 1.0 Activated] [Objective: Survive the novel that kills you.] [Penalty: Severe physical pain or death.] [Rule #1: Do NOT chase Kang Min-joon.] Her childhood fiancé. The man she never loved—but the villainess did. The man who belongs to the heroine in the original story. With no way back home, no one on her side, and an entire world waiting for her downfall— Seo Yeon-hwa decides one thing: She refuses to die as the villainess. She will fix her family. Fix her reputation. Fix her life. And walk away from the boy everyone expects her to love. But her transformation awakens interest from the last person she expected— Kang Do-yoon, her cold future brother-in-law. The CEO who never paid attention to her. The man who finds her sudden maturity unsettling… and strangely captivating. He was never hers. She was never his. But fate has shifted. A villainess who refused to chase love. A cold CEO who never intended to fall. A system that punishes every wrong move. And a business war waiting to explode. This time, she won’t be the villainess everyone remembers. She will write her own ending.

Yuji laughs easily, skips class, and pretends life is simple—but every night, his dreams pull him back to something he once lost. Names he refuses to say. Faces he forces himself to forget. Growing up has taken pieces of him, and he lets them go without fighting back. Yukino Hayashi arrives at school like a ghost pretending to be human. Her smile doesn’t belong to her, her voice carries no warmth, and her memories are full of holes she’s learned not to look into. She once had someone important—someone who gave her everything—but even his name has faded, leaving behind only guilt and silence. Haruto’s laughter fills the spaces where truth should be, masking the fear of becoming alone forever. The classroom is loud, but every heart inside it is quietly breaking. This is not a story about saving each other. It is a story about two broken people walking side by side— knowing that one day, even this warmth may be forgotten.

The most powerful wizard in history dies due to some mysterious reason, and on the same day, a great warrior is born. This day is called The First Day of the Dark Century. After the wizard's death, several disasters and pandemics cover the world. But the warrior's purpose becomes to stop this pandemic. And when the warrior fulfills his divine purpose, that day is called The Last Day of the Dark Century.However, fulfilling this destiny demanded a heavy sacrifice: he had to uncover a truth so profound and deeply hidden that it had been kept secret from everyone."

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free.

[WSA 2026 Entry] ____ Dustin Walters WAS a coward. He'll be the first to admit it. When life got hard, he ran. When his sister went missing, he ran. When the gang he tried to steal away their 'customers' from caught him mid-negotiation, he tried to run; but this time, he didn't make it. Beaten, broken, and bleeding out in an alley, Dustin whispered his last words: "I hope the world gets destroyed. It caused me a lot of pain." He meant it as... a joke. The universe did not. [Ding! Your dying wish has been granted!] Resurrected moments before the apocalypse he accidentally caused, Dustin's eyes met the sight of... [Ding! Daily Sign-in system initializing...] "A system?" [Ding! 10x Multiplier system initializing...] "Two systems??" [Ding! Leveling System initializing...] "Great. What a shocker. Three systems." Now he's stuck in a monster-infested hellscape of his own making, armed with nothing but a steel pipe, triple cheats, and the burning desire to stop running for once in his miserable life. The world ended because of him, and now he has to survive it while slowly ascending to the position of a 'guardian,' something that the universe itself calls him. ___ Here's a confusing question. How on Earth did someone who had been a 'coward' all his life ascend to become a god?

In 2012, a seventeen-year-old boy witnesses the emergence of three monstrous insects that begin to threaten everything in their path. Amidst the chaos, humanity witnesses the rise of a force of nature older and more powerful than anything the world has ever known. Its name was... ゴジラ A/N: This is the first book of my "GODZILLA CINEMATIC UNIVERSE" (GCU for short). The Godzilla design in the book cover is NOT how I envision what Godzilla looks like in this book. The incarnation of my Godzilla in this universe is based off the Rulers of Earth design.

Thank you very much! -0- Chess players have no future in Indonesia! That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

"Desperation made him marry his cold boss!" --- By day, Adrian Cole is nothing more than a quiet shadow in the glittering empire of Alexander Devereux—the billionaire CEO whose power stretches across cities. As his secretary, Adrian fetches coffee, files documents, and hides his forbidden desire behind lowered lashes, knowing that attraction is dangerous when survival is his only priority. But by night, Adrian becomes Adrienne—the mysterious, breathtaking escort whispered about in elite circles. Draped in silk and secrets, Adrienne enchants the city’s most powerful men, earning what Adrian desperately needs to keep his mother alive. Until one night, everything shatters. The client waiting for Adrienne… is none other than Alexander Devereux. What Adrian doesn’t know is that Alexander carries secrets of his own. With his powerful mother demanding he marry to secure the Devereux legacy, Alexander needs a wife—a perfect society bride to silence scandal and fulfill duty. Love is a weakness. A plague. All he needs is a wife. But instead, Alexander finds himself captivated by the one woman who doesn’t exist. To protect his empire, he makes a ruthless offer: Adrienne will become his wife, his public mask, his possession. Now Adrian is caught in a dangerous masquerade. By day, he is the overlooked secretary Alexander barely notices. By night, he is the obsession Alexander cannot release—the false bride Alexander plans to parade before the world. How long can Adrian balance the fragile lies before desire burns through the mask—and Alexander discovers the truth? As deception twists into longing and duty ignites forbidden passion, Adrian may have started this game to survive… but Alexander plays to win.

This is the kind of story where doing the right things makes you the villain. --- The Nine Heroes saved the world. Then they drowned it in blood. After dying at their hands, Adam awakens in his childhood with memories of a future ruled by false justice and sacred cruelty. The heroes are still kids in training. The world hasn’t burned yet. And the man destined to shape them into monsters is still called a savior. This time, Adam doesn’t plan to be kind enough for the world. He plans to break it before it breaks again. --- So I’ll be honest, it’s regression, and all regression stories are generic. But I think I can deliver a good story with a well-crafted world, and there’s nothing wrong with giving it a try.

Khalen Rasheen’s exile ends where it was always meant to: beneath a prison colony, in a collapsing chamber, staring up at something that should not exist. A skull made of crystal. A violet pulse. A voice like a blade, sharp and amused. It calls itself the part of humanity that refused to die quietly, and it offers him a bargain. In exchange for what he can do with fire, it will teach him how to survive a world built on Breath, a force that moves through people and stone like current through wire. It powers wards, engines, and cities, and it tempts everyone to draw a little more, to test what happens when limits bend. But Khalen’s world isn’t merely broken. It’s curated. Ancient anchor paths scar the land where a civilization once stood, and the ruins are missing, not ruined, as if someone lifted them out of history. Delvers call it discovery. Archivists call it proof. The Core calls it bait. Because the artifacts are real, and some were designed to make you more than human. He’s not hunting relics for glory, he’s hunting them because he’s learned that being human is not enough to keep anyone alive. Khalen can run, bleed, and try to stay human. Or he can reach for the relics, and become the kind of answer the Core understands. ** Style note: This story leans cinematic: close scenes, strong sensory detail, and worldbuilding revealed through motion and consequence rather than long exposition. Dialogue stays tight, especially in tense moments. If you like mysteries that tighten over chapters, watch the small physical details and offhand lines, they tend to pay off. This story was ten years in the making. I’ll try to make every moment earn its place. History, Religion, Archeology in a fun epic. ------- Heads up, This story uses longer chapters than is typical for web fiction (generally 3k–5k words). Scenes are structured to play out cinematically rather than in short serial beats. If you enjoy immersive chapters with complete arcs, you’re in the right place.

Rover gave Aether a puzzled look, then pointed at the two debt collectors lying unconscious on the ground. "These nobodies actually knocked you out?"
