Eloy Vance died the way he lived: alone, breaking records no one would notice were gone. Now, he's woken up inside his favorite fantasy RPG with a simple System deal: Achieve 100% completion to earn his life back. Fail, and his soul is deleted. Easy. He knows every glitch, every exploit, and every optimal route. His plan? Wall-clip through dungeons, frame-dodge the bosses, and romance the easiest NPC for the achievement. Except his Live Chat came with him. Four hundred viewers. Zero chill. Absolute veto power over his survival decisions. And they have exactly one thing on their agenda: Isolde Reichenbach. The Dark Lord's daughter. The academy's most dangerous student. The character with no romance route in any of the three games because the developers built her to destroy the player, not fall for them. The chat doesn't care. They've already voted. [ POLL: She's looking at you. What do you say? ] [ A) Politely introduce yourself (4%) ] [ B) Run. Just run. (9%) ] [ C) Compliment her book and immediately trip over a bucket (87%) ] [ POLL LOCKED. GOOD LUCK, BRO. ] They want the hardest content. And Eloy is starting to suspect that Isolde Reichenbach might not be the final boss after all. He just has to survive long enough to find out. With four hundred people watching and voting on his every move. --------------- - WHAT TO EXPECT: [+] Slow burn romance with a character who wasn't built to be romanced [+] A chat that votes on his life choices and is never wrong in the worst possible ways [+] Speedrun logic applied to feelings. It goes about as well as you'd think [+] Genuine stakes under the comedy [+] No harem. No shortcuts... Well, except exploits, of course! It's a speedrun!

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.

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...

SYNOPSIS "Pathetic. Utterly worthless." Cruel murmurs rippled through the crowd like venom as the young nobles sneered at Kael Voss. He stood isolated in front of the ancient oracle stone, hands outstretched, desperately hoping for his clan's fabled shadowfire to ignite. Silence. Not a single flicker appeared. "Not even a beginner's member. What a pathetic disgrace." Mocking laughter erupted all around him. "They say he devoured his own mother from inside her belly, like some kind of abomination!" Kael's body shook with humiliation. "That's a lie... I remember the figure in the dark hood..." The Sovereign Queen stood tall, her gaze icy and merciless. "You worthless insect. No fire. No power. No value. Disappear from my presence — you sicken me." Kael turned and walked away amid the jeers, heading toward the slave quarries. There, an elderly laborer leaned close and whispered, "They are all fools. I can sense the Primordial Shadowfire burning inside you... dormant but immense." Kael looked down at his empty palm. A cold, vengeful grin slowly formed on his lips. If the old man spoke the truth, then he was never weak. He was the most powerful being alive. Once the Shadowfire awakens, everyone who mocked him will bow before him in flames and ruin. Has he unlocked its power? Will he claim his revenge? Step into this epic tale to discover the truth.

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 burns his empire to the ground to keep her. Undressed by the Mafia God is a mafia romance story where power is foreplay, love is a liability, and the most terrifying thing a god can do… is fall.

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

Kane Rivera is a broke college student on the verge of eviction when a mysterious app called "Hero for Rent" appears on his phone. The app turns his life into a high-stakes game—clients hire him to complete dangerous missions in exchange for real money, stat upgrades, and supernatural abilities. Each mission pushes Kane deeper into a hidden world of urban fantasy, corporate conspiracies, and moral gray zones. From retrieving suspicious packages to fighting monsters in subway tunnels, every choice affects his stats, reputation, and survival. But the app has rules. Break them, and there are penalties. Refuse missions, and the consequences are severe. As Kane climbs the ranks from F-Tier nobody to hired hero, he must answer one question: Who created this app, and what do they really want from him? In this game, failure isn't just losing—it's death.

An alpha without a pack is like a house without a roof. Theodore Pembroke has lived for years with only vengeance in his heart. As the last of his kind, he knows the dark forces that destroyed his pack will come for him one day—and when they do, he’ll be ready. But even the best-laid plans will often go awry. The enemy he’s been preparing for turns out to be an unexpected ally, and a sudden and fragile spark of hope makes a mess of everything. While fighting Ryder Asherman of the Luna’s Sentinels, Theodore uncovers a series of deeper truths: his true enemies remain hidden, there might still be a way to restore his pack, and the cold hunger for revenge burning inside him evolve into something else entirely. All of this ought to bring him focus and clarity. If only fate didn’t have such ridiculous demands, like mating with a clairvoyant who looks like he barely weighs a hundred and twenty pounds sopping wet, and partnering with a human guardian who was meant for another pack. It’s as if Theodore Pembroke is destined for hand-me-downs and becoming the butt of this absurdly attractive skinny pup’s jokes. If this is his fate, then clearly, something is very wrong. And fate might want to rethink things.

Bring my wife to me.” The words echoed through the hallway. Five years ago, Isabella Romano died. Or… so the world believes. She had been forced into a cold, loveless marriage with the ruthless mafia king, Lorenzo De Luca where Isabella was nothing more than a pawn in a dangerous game of power. But on the night she uncovered a secret that could destroy his empire, she became a target. So she did the only thing she could to survive. Disappearing. Now living under a new identity as Elena Rossi, Isabella has built a quiet life far away from blood, betrayal… and the man she once called husband. But when a high-profile art restoration job leads her straight into Lorenzo’s world again, everything she once buried comes crashing back because Lorenzo never forgets and he never forgives. The moment he sees her, one truth becomes clear, his estranged bride was still alive and this time, he was never letting her go. Now dragged back into a world she barely escaped, Isabella must hide the one secret that could destroy everything; she didn’t leave alone, she had left with his son. But as enemies close in and buried truths begin to surface, one question threatens to tear them apart: Did Isabella run to betray him… Or to save his life? Because in a world ruled by power and blood, love is dangerous and secrets are deadly.

They say seven is the number of perfection. For Luna Seraphine, it was the number that ended her silence. Six times, she tore the divorce papers apart, choosing love over pride, endurance over dignity, surrendering to the cruel demands of the mate who never cherished her. The seventh time, she signed her name without trembling. Alpha Ravyn panicked. His mistress, Daisy, the daughter of Seraphine’s former nanny, laughed it off. She’s only throwing a tantrum, they said. She’ll crawl back. They were wrong. The truth shattered what little remained of her heart: the child she had loved and raised for six years was never hers. That revelation became her breaking point. This time, Luna Seraphine walked away without looking back. As her power rose, so did Ravyn’s regret. The Alpha who once discarded her now slept outside her door, desperate for a single glance. But the woman who opened that door was no longer the Luna he broke. Cold, untouchable, unforgiving. Ravyn fell to his knees, begging for her hand, only to realize he was no longer the only one. Men of influence and power now competed for her attention because Luna Seraphine was no longer just a Luna. She was a world-renowned business mogul, a shadowed philanthropist. The most sought-after surgeon of her time, and a cyber genius. Then, a powerful, cold Alpha, one infamous for hating women, just shook the entire werewolf world and the North American billionaire elite, the Sovereign Circle, with a single tweet. “Sera is mine. I’ll pluck out the eyes of anyone who dares to look at her.” The internet exploded. The pack world went silent, and Ravyn… lost his mind. But the real question is this, will he dare challenge the richest, most powerful Alpha in the world… for the ex-wife he let go?

Born as the unwanted son of a noble house, Noctis Umbra lived his life as nothing more than a stain on his family’s name. Betrayed, humiliated, and cast out into the Deadwood Forest, he was left to die like a mistake that should have never existed. But death was not the end. Instead, something ancient answered him. Awakening a forbidden power tied to the lost Primordial Era, Noctis gains the ability to command entities that should not exist. These beings devour souls and bend the void itself. Now hunted by monsters, feared by the world, and targeted by forces that erase “heretics,” he must survive in the shadows while hiding what he has become. Because the power inside him is not just a curse. It is something that could either reshape the world… or consume him entirely.

There are times—far too many times—when you feel that uncontrollable urge to kill someone. For Kaya, this… this was exactly that moment. “Repeat what you just said?” She’d seen hell on the battlefield—second-in-command of a military unit, dodging bullets, dragging traitors by the collar, and coming out alive with grit under her nails. But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared her for the sight of her spineless husband flirting with her own sister. Right in front of her. “I could never marry a barbarian like you. The one I... I like is Meera—” Blah blah. The same pitiful nonsense again. You think—what could possibly be worse than this? And then, right on cue, your idiotic sister chimes in, completely serious, “I just poisoned you.” Wow. BANG. Before anyone could even react, Meera collapsed. Dead. Her so-called husband gasped like a fish dragged out of water. “Y-you…” He dropped to his knees, staring at Kaya like he was seeing a monster rise from the dark. “You killed your sister?! How could y—?” BANG. Second bullet. Same spot. He dropped like a puppet with its strings cut. Silence. ... Just when Kaya thought her story had finally reached its bitter end, the universe—no, god himself—decided to throw in one last, ridiculous twist. “Wife… wife, didn’t you say you were gonna eat me? Why’d you stop?” A snake beast, ridiculously charming and glowing like some immortal fantasy, clung to her, eyes gleaming. Another voice interrupted. “Shut up! My wife wants to cuddle me now—” A sparrow beastman leapt into her arms, like that made any sense. “Hic… wife, don’t you want me anymore?” A panda-like beastman sat beside her, huge, sniffly, and wronged like a child abandoned at a festival. Sitting in the middle of all this, Kaya was absolutely dumbfounded. ‘When the hell did all of this even start?’

Saki Oryan had always lived a quiet, disciplined life, guided by strong moral principles, so he never anticipated how swiftly his world could unravel. It all happened in a single moment. An intrusive, inappropriate ad that flickered onto his screen—an ad he should have simply dismissed—became the entry point for something far more sinister. In that instant, a predatory "Taboo System" took root deep within his mind, rewriting his thoughts, his desires, and his very boundaries. Now, the young man everyone once relied on is transforming. Tormented by overwhelming urges and a system that relentlessly drives him toward the forbidden, Saki finds himself in a fight he never wanted—a struggle between his former self and the person he is rapidly becoming. Because of the system, nothing is off-limits. And resisting it may cost him everything.

Yun Yuan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, arriving in the era before Tang San. This was a brilliant age, where heroes gathered and prodigies rose together. He awakened his martial soul, the Atlas Spear, with talent comparable to that of Atlas Douluo, who would later suppress the entire era twenty thousand years later. After his martial soul awakened, he was taken in as a disciple by Qian Xunji, becoming Bibi Dong’s junior brother, which was already a heaven-defying start. However, Yun Yuan possessed an even more outrageous cheat. Every time he advanced a realm, his talent would double once more on top of its original foundation. When Yun Yuan achieved the rank of Titled Douluo, possessing talent ten times that of Yun Ming— With a single Atlas Spear, he suppressed the entire era! With one thrust, heaven and earth changed color, and even the gods retreated! … Bibi Dong: What kind of trash is Yu Xiaogang? Is he even worthy to carry shoes for my junior brother? Ah Yin: Yun Yuan, I have the Blue Silver Overlord Spear, and you have the Atlas Spear. As fellow spear users, we are simply a match made in heaven. Qian Xunji: Yun Yuan is the most outstanding disciple of my life. I will betroth my daughter Qian Renxue to him. Tang Hao: Facing Yun Yuan, I lose repeatedly, yet I continue to fight. Since there is Hao, why must there also be Yuan? Tang San: My father was suppressed by Yun Yuan his entire life. Why is it that when it comes to me, I must still be suppressed by him for a lifetime? — Daily updates X2 — For early access: [email protected]/Taichu372
