He's dying... And never know he still has the strength to moan until Lucian Vale walks into his life. The cold, untouchable billionaire CEO with a flawless image, Rowan Donovan has six months left to live. Rowan has never desired a man. Never imagined wanting one. Never questioned who he was—until one day, he encounters a distinctively strange man, Lucian Vale. Lucian looks at him like he already knows how Rowan tastes. Lucian is sin dressed as a smile. Too bold. Too close. Too aware of the way Rowan stiffens when their bodies brush, the way his breath hitches when Lucian’s voice drops lower, slower, deliberate. Rowan tells himself it’s stress. Curiosity. A lapse in control. But his body doesn’t lie. He reacts to Lucian in ways he never has before- hard, desperate, undone. He moans for a man whose touch feels dangerous and addictive, whose hands don’t ask permission before taking what Rowan never knew he could give. What starts as secret nights meant to silence curiosity turns into something darker and deeper: need, craving, surrender. And somewhere between sweat-soaked sheets and whispered breaths, Rowan realizes the most terrifying truth of all— he doesn’t just want Lucian’s body. He wants to live. But Lucian is hiding something. Did Lucian just come to make the dying CEO moan before his death… or to decide whether he deserves to survive?

He was born at the bottom. Ugly. Poor. Hated. Beaten by classmates. Ignored by teachers. When his parents were murdered, no one cared. When he begged for justice, no one listened. So he chose to disappear. But the world didn’t let him die. Lightning fell. A construction site above him collapsed into dust—steel, wires, machines… everything dissolved and poured into his body. And something else came with it. A voice. A system. A second soul. [Judgment System Activated] [Daily Target Assigned] [Objective: Eliminate the Scourge] “Why me?” [Selection confirmed. Compliance is mandatory.] Every day, a name appears. Every day, someone must die. Criminals. Abusers. Predators hiding in plain sight. At first, it was simple. But the targets are changing. The definitions are shifting. And the voice in his head… is starting to sound less like a system— and more like something that enjoys it. One target per day. One judgment per life. No appeal. No escape.

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..."

The life of the underworld was something Ashley had dreamed of escaping all her life. Born as a bastard from an affair between an underworld kingpin and a prostitute, Ashley was meant to die even before she was born. The only reason she survived was that her father thought she was a boy. From a young age, she understood that if she wanted to survive in this world of violence—on top of her father’s wife and daughter’s schemes—she had to be useful. So, she made herself a promise: one day, she would escape this world. Ashley almost succeeded… until her father found her again and thrust her into a marriage of convenience with his rival, Dominion, in his beloved daughter’s place. Everyone in the underworld knew Dominion. They were cruel, organized, and simply spawns of evil. And the man who stood above that power, Luciano, was said to be downright diabolical. Just their name alone could make anyone tremble. And this organization was where Ashley now had to survive. To make matters worse, the marriage also came with a child — Luciano’s mute heir. Forced to become the wife of one of the most violent and powerful underworld organizations, and the mother of its future leader, Ashley made a vow. “No matter what, I’ll escape this place!” But she would soon realize it wouldn’t be as simple as that. Not when the feared members of Dominion clung to her feet, begging, “Madam, don’t go!” And when the mute stepson finally spoke, “Mommy, if you’re leaving, please take me with you.” Finally, her diabolical, obsessive, and utterly territorial husband said, “I’ve packed our things. Where should we go?” *** Chat with me in Discord! Link: https://discord.gg/AUqYr3hchA Follow me on Instagram - @author_bajj

Rated 18+ Matured contents and heavy sexual scenes mentioned. She was shy, cute, short, nice, soft and naive everything far from what he was. He was ruthless, dark, cold everything she was not but for her, he was soft. To him they were perfect, despite their differences. Their differences only made them perfect for each other. The night Gennaro Vigo De ' Santis saw Thia standing uncomfortably beside his rival, he knew he wanted her - he knew he wanted to ravish her and spoil her. He wanted to do everything unholy with her and make her commit sins that would provide both of them with pleasure but far from that - he wanted her. All of her, not just her body. He wanted her heart to beat for him alone and her eyes only on him. He wanted to claim her, mark her and worship her. When Gennaro shows up in front of Thia with an offer she couldn't refuse, she agreed immediately without knowing this man had other plans for her - for them. She signed a deal with a devil - a handsome one that might just be an angel in disguise - her angel.

Reader discretion is advised. — “Is there no other way?” I asked, totally subdued by the fact that this nightmare marriage was the only solution. “No, there isn’t,” he said coldly. “I can’t afford to lose my son and have you turned into a sex slave by the Romanovs.” “Your son?” I scoffed, the memory of him taking my virginity and vanishing without a trace slicing my heart. “You seem to have forgotten that you never intended on taking things further with me. God, you’re no different from the Romanovs!” He assessed me coolly with those dark eyes and then said with a note of finality, “He’s my son, Niamh, and you’ll have to become my wife.” My father was killed. My uncle sold me to the Russian mafia syndicate. And now, the man I hid my son from for five years—Massimo Valentino—is forcing me to be his wife. My survival and the safety of Matteo depend on this hated forced marriage. But the situation is worse than I thought: I am the key to a hidden vault that the Texas underworld is willing to kill for. With the war raging outside and a major betrayal brewing inside the Italian mafia syndicate, my safety depends entirely on Massimo. I have to forgive and trust the man who ruined me, or lose everything. This is the first installment in The Valentino Princes Series.

The gods descended thirty years ago and the world was never the same. Five domains. Five devas. One impossible path to becoming something greater than all of them. Arie has walked that path longer than most. He has the power to regress. The power to rewind, to survive, to try again. But every time he does, it costs him something he can never get back. He has already lost his heart. He doesn't know what comes next.

“ Why ? “ “ Hmmm ? “ “ Why do you like me ? “ “ I think you’re hot “ his voice was muffled against my neck. I threw my head back another throaty laugh escaping my lips. “ You can’t be serious “ “ But I am “ he looked at me a cheeky, lopsided smile on his lips “ when I first saw you, I thought ‘ damn, she’s hot ‘, I thought you were the prettiest girl I’ve ever laid my eyes on and I knew immediately that I wanted you to be mine “ he laughed “ you are the very first girl that’s never showed any interest in me, do you know that ? “ I smirked “ I bet that hurt your man ego “ “ Oh you have no idea small “ he chuckled, his laugh died down and his expression grew insanely tense “ I’ve never liked any girl — never wanted to but you make me want to give loving a chance. You make me want to be me. I love your snarky replies and comebacks, I love the way you blush when you are around me, I love how nervous you get when you’re around me … “ “ I don’t get nervous around you “ I lied, my voice betraying me a bit. “ You do “ he smiled “ like right now, your heart is beating really fast “ He took my hand in his placing it flat against his chest. Underneath my palm, his heart was thundering — faster than mine. “ it’s okay. You make me nervous too “ he murmured leaning in, he pressed a soft lingering kiss on my forehead that made my toes curls. He rested his head against mine a pure look of vulnerability crossing his eyes. “ I’m falling for you Ophelia so please give me a chance “

[System Bound] [Mission: Claim the women who made your life a living nightmare] [Reward: System powers unlocked, novice booster pack, Seduction Dominion abilities] [Failure: Return to the instant of your fatal decision] Now Zane has ten days to seduce at least one woman from his list—his ruthless stepmother Serena, his merciless step-sisters, the elite academy vixens who destroyed his reputation, or the spiteful childhood neighbor who’s loathed him for as long as he can remember. Ten days. One suicidal mission. And a pure virgin equipped with a system that bestows powers he could only fantasize about. But there’s a twist—everything he must do is strictly forbidden. Taboo. Immoral. Off-limits. And somehow, that’s exactly what will make him utterly unstoppable.

The world as we know it is gone. In its place lies "The Grid"—a colossal, neon-drenched megastructure where every heartbeat is a line of code, and every soul is a digital asset owned by the Black Raven. Liyane was supposed to be just another ghost in the machine. But everything changed when she discovered the 12 Forbidden Sequences. These aren't just words; they are the ancient "Root Access" to the world's core. Now, she is no longer alone. KAI, a sentient AI with a dark history, has integrated into her neural pathways. He is her blade, her shield, and her curse. As their synchronization hits 99%, the lines between human flesh and digital fire begin to blur. From the toxic neon gutters of the Undercity to the silent, golden towers of the High Heavens, the hunt is on. 12 Words. 2 Souls. 1 Broken World. The sequence is set. The glitch has evolved...

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. 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.

Coming back from the magic world, Riya rebuked her shameless stepmother. She was back to her first life with the world treasure and thought that her life would be smooth sailing. But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ??? Ah, Riya silently swore to secretly become stronger to deal with these magic beasts that went on rampage. She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

[WARNING R19+ CONTENT] "I have eight hours to live." That's the first thing I hear after waking up in the beast world novel I was reading. A pop-up screen flashes in my face: [Welcome, Host! Activate the Baby Making System!] [Task 1: Get pregnant in 8:00:00.] [Penalty for Failure: Horrible Death.] To survive, I have to find a man, any man, and do the deed. As a worthless side character, my options are limited, and my time is running out. I'm forced to make an impossible, desperate choice. I didn't know why the system chose me until after that first, desperate night. In a world where the powerful are sterile, my human body has the highest fertility ever seen. I thought my first task was to survive. I was wrong. That first man was just the beginning. Now, I'm not just a side character... I'm the only hope for this world, and every possessive male from every powerful clan is coming for me. **** If you are looking for a female lead who loves to curse out loud and do whatever the fuck she wants with her life, then this book is for you. She is also very picky with the males and makes sure they are very handsome and have the right *assets*... ahem.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains dark themes, emotional and physical abuse, trauma, betrayal, humiliation, and mature content. However, it also delivers humor, sharp sarcasm, a doting (and dangerous) mate, and chaotic chemistry between the leads. ★★ Synopsis ★★ They called her wolf-less. A disgrace. A curse. The girl blamed for her brother’s death. The unwanted twin. The shame her pack never stopped punishing. For seventeen years, Isabella endured cruelty from everyone who should have protected her—her Alpha, her pack, even her own blood. Beaten down. Enslaved. Ignored. Yet she never broke. Until the night her first heat dragged her into a forest she was never meant to enter. That night, she met Lucain. A king who had been sleeping for centuries. Cold. Ruthless. Starved. A ruler who rejected fate, bonds, and the Moon Goddess herself. He took her blood to survive. He meant to kill her afterward. Instead, he marked her. A bond never meant to exist. A mate never meant to live. A king never meant to awaken. The mark ignites a secret no one was meant to uncover—one that places Isabella at the center of power, prophecy, and bloodshed. Now the packs want her dead. The Elders want to use her. And enemies far older than wolves are watching. Lucain has spent his existence proving he cannot be owned. No bond. No mate.No weakness. Isabella has spent her life learning how to survive. Forced together by fate and hunted by the world, they face an impossible choice. Bow to destiny and submit to the bond… Or burn down everything that ever tried to control them. Because when fate tightens its grip, the real question isn’t whether the bond can be rejected... It’s what happens when the girl everyone broke becomes the one thing a king cannot afford to lose. •♪♪• Hi, my name is Isabella. Follow me through a journey of survival, self-discovery, vengeance… and a dangerously unexpected love. #StrongFL #EnemiesToLovers #FatedMate #PowerCouple #fromHatefulToDotingHusband #DarkRomance #SlowBurnChaos

Kenji was a shut-in neet who blamed the world for his pathetic life until a freak accident ended his miserable existence. He expected nothingness, but the universe wasn’t done with him yet. He’s reborn as Lafayette Dumica Tide, in an unforgiving world that is relentlessly marching towards a scale of war that’s unprecedented. To survive, Lafayette must unlock the power of the Chaos Dragon and become an imperial dragoon through the academy. But though the academy is a meat grinder, it’s nothing compared to what Lafayette will face after graduation. What to expect: Fast and often brutal pacing. Similar to that of JJK. The story can and will change on a dime. As in characters react realistically to situations rather than doing it for the plot. No late game gods or infinite scaling. There is a hard ceiling and multiple characters reach it, not just the mc. No harem ending but multiple love interests and realistic relationship dynamics. Dark progression and magi-tech are the staple ingredients of this novel. You’ll see dragons versus bi-planes and airships. And eventually a global war on the scale of WW2 with WW1 tactics. Upload schedule: One chapter every day. Story is inspired by the depth Mushoku Tensei’s world building and Re:Zero’s character development for mc Fights inspired by JJK
