In a world bound by absolute laws and governed by the Tower, everyone is a prisoner of their own fate. The weak obey the strong, and the living obey the rules. Everyone, except Cade. As a glitch in the perfect world, Cade awakens the "0th Law"—a power that overrides all logic. Gravity? I refuse. Damage? I reject. The will of the Gods? I deny. "They told me the weak have no choice. But I choose to be the one who breaks the cage." From a lowly survivor in the wasteland to the God-Slayer who tears down the sky, this is the story of the only free man in a caged world. [System + Anti-Hero + Cyberpunk + Overpowered MC]

"New rule," he growls, rubbing the tip of his cock against my pussy. "From now on, you call me Daddy no matter what. You understand me?" I nod as much as his grip around my neck will allow, my pulse hammering against his palm. "Yes, Daddy." I obey. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Valentino, Raffaele, and Angelo, are the princes of Le Vipere Nere—the most feared Mafia family in Italy. I was just a stripper when Valentino first laid eyes on me. To him, I was supposed to be a fleeting distraction meant for nothing more than a night of passion and sin. But we became so much more. At first I was tangled only in his sheets until his brothers wanted a taste of me. Once they decided I was theirs, there was no escaping. Now I’m trapped between three Mafia heirs who don’t know how to share. They claim me. Worship me. And fuck me until I forget my own name. They make me crave the pain as much as the pleasure. They make me theirs—body, mind, and soul. But the truth is I’m living a lie, and when they discover my secret, this game of lust and obsession might end in blood. Welcome to a story of sin, power, and forbidden desire—where love and hate are separated by nothing more than a single heartbeat.

[Excerpt] "You must be the Director," the five-year-old boy said, looking Bastian St. Yves up and down. "I am," Bastian replied coldly. "And you are late." "And you have dark circles under your eyes," the boy countered. "My mommy says men who frown too much end up lonely. Is that why you live in a big castle all alone?" [Synopsis] Everyone knows that Bastian St. Yves, the cold-hearted movie emperor, has only loved one woman: his late wife, Anaïs. For five years, the world believes he has mourned her, refusing to let another woman into his heart. But Anaïs isn't dead. She is hiding in plain sight as Agent Eve, a ruthless talent manager who has sworn to never let Bastian control her again. When Bastian unknowingly casts his own son, who is a rude, genius five-year-old, as the lead in his new tragedy, he finds himself dangerously drawn to the boy's mysterious mother. She smells like his supposedly dead wife. She trembles when he touches her. And she hates him with a passion he doesn't understand. Bastian is determined to uncover Eve's secret. But Anaïs is determined to protect her lies. Because she knows the truth: if the Tyrant of Cinema finds out the boy is his, he won't just want forgiveness...he’ll declare war for custody.

This is not your typical survival story. Two centuries ago, the world tried to cure hunger. The solution was an injection called HungerNull. It worked. For ten years, no one who took it felt hunger. Africa, where starvation had cut the deepest wounds, received most of the doses. Then the miracle turned. Those saved by HungerNull mutated into mindless predators known as Nulls, nearly wiping out the continent. In fear and desperation, the rest of the world made a ruthless decision. They sealed Africa off. But Africa did not fall. From the chaos, a new empire rose behind massive walls. Humanity adapted. And among the survivors, a rare kind of human emerged — beings unlike any seen before. They were called Oxides. Now, 200 years later, this new Africa stands powerful, dangerous, and unknown to the outside world. When Kairo’s world is suddenly torn apart, he is forced beyond the safety he has always known, he has only one goal: Find his sister, Ayanda.

Woke up in JJK. Wrong body, no cursed energy. Canon starts tonight. Oh, and I've got 24 hours to kill a curse or my cheat system bricks itself permanently. No pressure. Time to learn how to fight monsters I can't even see yet—because sitting this one out isn't an option, and I'm sure as hell not dying as a background character. Let's see what happens when someone who knows the future crashes the party with a death wish.

One iron. Twenty-one years of silence. A kingdom built on a lie. I spent my life scrubbing Alpha Vane’s blood off the marble floors. To my father, I was a “sickness” to be drowned in mountain ash. To the Black Ridge pack, I was the wolfless ghost who served the wine and took the hits. Then the Blood Moon rose on my twenty-first birthday, and the ghost finally screamed. I didn't just shift. I became a nightmare of white fur and ancient power that leveled the palace and left the pack elders trembling in awe. They saw a miracle. They saw a Goddess. Vane saw a threat to his throne. And worst of all, it was the wolfless trash of the palace. He couldn't stand it. Before the dust of the ruins could even settle, he shattered the fated mate bond with cold words: "I, Alpha Vane, reject you as my fated mate." But he didn't stop at rejection. To ensure I would never rise, he forced the slave’s iron into my collarbone, branding me like cattle. Now, I am a “wife” in name but a prisoner in soul, forced to pour the wine while his mistress, Isolde, wears my mother’s jewels and smiles at my scars. Vane thinks he’s tamed a monster. He thinks he’s playing the hero while he welcomes a viper into his bed. He’s too blinded by his hatred for me to see Isolde's betrayal, she’s a scout for the rival pack, sharpening her knife for the moment he turns his back. He’s protecting a traitor and punishing a queen. I don’t know why the earth shudders when I cry, or what ancient thing is clawing its way out of my chest. But Vane made one fatal mistake: he branded a girl who has nothing left to lose.

“Only Haki can stand above everything else.” This was the supreme creed of the Great Route’s gold-medal lecturer, “Hundred Beasts” Kaido, a truth worshipped by countless people. But Roy did not agree. “Then let me ask you this... If there were an ability user who could analyze and collect all Devil Fruit powers, and who was unaffected by Seastone or seawater… couldn’t he rely on Devil Fruits alone to reach the pinnacle of this sea?” To prove his belief, Roy took action. Many years later. The Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was engulfed in raging flames. Above Pangaea Castle, the one responsible stood calmly in the sky. A pristine white Marine cloak fluttered violently in the wind. “Are you going to make an enemy of the world?” The World Nobles demanded. Roy only bared his teeth in a grin. “Wasn’t I already an enemy of the world?” He smiled. Those who followed him stepped forward from behind. The figures at the front caused the entire scene to fall into dead silence. Everyone recognized them. They were the terrifying powerhouses who had risen suddenly to fame across the seas in recent years. Among them were assassins, revolutionaries, pirates, merchants, doctors… Without exception, they were all top-tier ability users, and all belonged to the same organization. It was said that this organization had a mysterious leader, the most dangerous criminal on the seas today. And now, the truth was obvious. “Y-You are…” The new legend of the Marines. The most dangerous criminal on the sea. From the very beginning, the two had always been the same person. His name was... Roy·Amos.

From the moment Ren Toya’s parents were slaughtered before his very eyes, only one thought has filled his mind: to kill the one responsible for the massacre — Raelor Valraen, the most powerful of all incubi.

Above all, he must protect them from powerful, dangerous beings from other worlds who will stop at nothing to get their hands on their powers. Ren and his sisters are demons, and among them, he holds an extraordinary power that many desire. He will never allow anyone, for any reason, to separate him from his beloved sisters — let alone lay a single finger on them!

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

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. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

“Life is a banquet, and I was the only one on the menu.” Kaizen’s world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with the sound of a rope tightening. After uncovering his mother’s affair with his own school bully—a betrayal that drove his father to suicide—Kaizen was left with nothing but mockery, poverty, and a hollow smile. Faith, family, dignity… all devoured long before his death. Then came the so-called Mercy of the Gods. Summoned alongside his classmates to another world by the Goddess Ishtar to stop a world-ending calamity, Kaizen is granted a “Holy Gift” like the others. While heroes receive legendary weapons and divine magic, Kaizen is humiliated once again with the lowest-ranked skill of all: [Gluttony]—a useless hunger in a land of monsters. A curse. A joke. A perfect sacrifice. That is what everyone believes. What neither the heroes nor the Goddess herself realizes is that Kaizen’s hunger is not for food. It is an absence—something that should not exist. A void that does not simply kill, but erases. In a world that expects him to die quietly, Kaizen begins to rise. Each step forward strips something away—from monsters, from heroes… and eventually from the Gods themselves. Ishtar wanted a Hero. Instead, she unleashed something far worse. A mistake that is learning how to eat.

[The Hook] Ten years of blood. Ten years of sacrifice. I was Han-Seol, the "Light of the North," the Hero who ended the Great Demon War. I gave my youth, my health, and my soul to save a humanity that rewarded me with a blade between my ribs. As my blood pooled on the marble floor of the palace, the Holy System—the "God" I served—spoke its final chilling words: [Mission Complete. Hero Utility: 0%. Discarding Host.] [The Twist] I expected eternal darkness. Instead, I woke up to the smell of trash and the sound of a flickering neon sign. I was back. Ten years in the past. But I wasn’t the Hero anymore. I had been reincarnated into the body of Drake Vance, a bottom-tier street thug with zero talent, zero money, and a death sentence hanging over his head. In my previous life, Drake was the first "minor villain" I had ever killed. Now, I was living in his skin, destined to be the first stepping stone for my former self. [The System Reveal] But something went wrong during the soul-transfer. The Holy System glitched, and in its place, a new, golden interface appeared: [The Malfunction Refund System has Initialized!] [Guiding Principle: Failure is the Mother of Profit.] Unlike the Hero System that demanded perfection, this system rewarded failure. Attempted to steal a legendary artifact and got caught? [Refund: 100x Stealth and Agility!] Tried to cast a spell and it fizzled out? [Refund: 100x Mana Capacity and Potency!] Failed to kill a target? [Refund: 100x Critical Damage Multiplier!] [The Promise] The "Hero" Han-Seol is still out there, gathering his party and preparing to save a world that will eventually betray him. He thinks he’s the protagonist of this story. He’s wrong. I know every secret dungeon, every legendary item location, and every betrayal that is yet to happen. I will fail my way to the top, collecting "Refunds" until I am so powerful that the heavens themselves cannot discard me again. If being a Hero meant dying for nothing, then I’ll be the Villain who takes everything. "I’m not here to save the world this time. I’m here to make it pay the interest."
