"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

“Ruling is the duty of oversight, to oversee instead of create. To govern instead of live. It came with power and prestige, with obligation and responsibility. Soldiers fought and farmers farmed, but to be King is to rule. To maintain the illusion of power one’s forefathers had built. Marcus didn’t care for any of it. He saw magic when he first opened his eyes, and nothing else ever compared. But the King is old and he an only child. Decisions had to be made. Important, hard decisions. No one expected much of him. Not in regards to anything but magic. They were right not to. Until the cube. Until it taught him what life meant for people not born into nobility, and that all his skill with the arcane did not make him immortal. That running from problems did not, in fact, make them go away. Marcus Sepsimus Lannoy—Marcus to the friends he did not have—touched something he should not have on the day he planned to run from his problems.” Inspiration taken from The Menocht Loop, A Practical Guide to Evil and everything else I have ever read in my life. But mostly the first two, though not overly much from either. Concepts and the like. I hope to do them justice. Am I rambling? I feel like I’m rambling.

A boy stood in defiance, his hand held true to his Aegislash’s handle as the sword wrapped its tassel around the boy’s arm. With determined eyes, the boy turned and faced the deity of the Diamond Clan, Dialga. Beside him stood a girl, in her hand a glowing crimson ball. And behind her stood a dragon, a god. Palkia slashed. Dialga roared. Space and Time clashed and shattered, pulling the boy into a crack in the Universe. The girl reached out trying to grab his hand, as the boy disappeared into the tear in space and time. —————————————————— Author here. So thanks for checking out this book.

Everything changes the moment she meets Cassian Moretti, heir to the powerful Moretti dynasty. He’s back in town for one reason only: revenge. And in the blink of an eye, Ayla finds herself swept into a storm of emotions she never expected—love, heartbreak, loss, survival… and love again. As hidden truths come to light, Ayla uncovers the real story about her mother and a complicated connection to Lorenzo Vellani, a man whose presence shakes her heart and forces her to question everything she thought she knew about family, loyalty, and desire. When a quiet, dangerous obsession with a Mafia boss starts to feel like love, Ayla Thorne faces a question she never imagined she’d have to answer: does she run from it—or does she finally embrace the darkness pulling her in?

Just One Puff is a neon-fantasy adventure about chasing freedom in a world that runs on crowns, coins, and clouds of smoke. Oscar, a streetwise dark elf with a dream of making his name in the green trade, wants nothing more than to sell good weed, smoke in peace, and drift from city to city collecting stories and scars like souvenirs. His plans go sideways the night he crosses paths with Stephanie, a runaway princess desperate to escape a gilded cage and a future written by royal ink. Together, they tumble into a glowing underworld of black markets, turf laws, rival syndicates, and kingdoms that don’t like their rules being broken. Between late-night blunts, close calls, and unexpected bonds, their journey becomes more than a hustle or a getaway—it becomes a search for what freedom really means, because in their world, sometimes just one puff can change everything.

Let's go over the list, shall we? Two weeks until the world ends? Checked. A woman I’m doomed to watch die at the end of the world? Checked. An evil organisation trying to ruin my family's divinity? Checked. Plus a primordial evil awakening? Can't make it too easy now, can you? Checked. Too much for one god, but destiny's a bitch and I'm already late, so I won't complain.

What if your most vivid dreams weren't dreams at all, but a window into a life that isn't yours? [50 Chapters. Publishes daily as of March 12, 2026.] Since she was a baby, Vivian’s dreams have been startlingly real. She experiences the sights, the sounds, and the profound, dizzying sensation of living inside the body of an entirely different person in a world brimming with magic. But the truth is far more dangerous than an overactive imagination. Whenever she falls asleep, her consciousness swaps places with Ally, a gifted young mage in the fantastical realm of Aethelgard. It’s a phenomenon they call the Switch. Two women, bound across dimensions, living a shared existence but never able to occupy the same world at the same time. However, what started as a lifelong, disorienting secret is rapidly becoming a fight for survival. As the mysteries of their connection deepen, they draw the attention of powerful, dangerous players in both worlds—from the charming, enigmatic Alex in Vivian's reality, to the brilliantly manipulative Scholar Tristan in Ally's. With dark forces closing in, the two women must rely on their fiercely loyal protectors—Ben on Earth and Callum in Aethelgard—to help them navigate a deadly game of survival. But make no mistake: these ladies are no damsels in distress. They must unravel the ancient, cataclysmic tie that binds their souls before the shadows of one realm completely consume the other. Because the line between science and magic is fracturing, and the next time they close their eyes, they might not survive the awakening.

Junia Gladeweft, the princess of the seelie fairy kingdom, lost everything on her wedding day. Her home, the man she loves, and her perfect life. When dragons descend upon the sacred Garden of Union and the seelie cities, leading them is Ashmaris Draven Morriethen, a feared Dragon King who claims Junia as his fated mate and takes her from her home. Junia hates him. He murdered her husband and shattered the only life she knew. Within the dragonhold, she discovers the truth: her powers, her identity, her father’s evil deeds, and even her heart were sealed by her father. As ancient enemies and political forces threaten, Junia is forced into close proximity with the man she had sworn to kill. Every clash between them burns with fury, grief, desire, and a pull neither of them could deny. Ashmaris is ruthless, possessive, and haunted by a past soaked in betrayal, but he is the only one who knows what Junia truly is. Torn between revenge and desire, Junia must decide whether the man she despises is her greatest enemy—or the only one who can help her reclaim herself before the world falls into war once more.

A hidden castle. A forbidden refuge. A second chance for the unforgivable. In a world where some souls are too broken—or too dangerous—to exist freely, a mysterious castle appears to those who have nowhere left to run. A man haunted by his past. A woman stained by guilt. A mind tormented by unseen forces. And one who embraces darkness. They all receive the same silent invitation. But this “safe place” is not what it seems. Because inside, there are only two choices: Face what you are… or become something worse.

(Vol. 1 completed. Vol. 2 ongoing...) Synopsis: A politician from Earth gets transmigrated into a semi-familiar cultivation world, where typical xianxia protagonists are cooking trouble in every corner of the street. Guided by a unique system, he begins to amass a legion of such children of destiny, manipulating each of them into becoming his partners-in-crime. What to expect: 1. Extremely overpowered enemies who actually have a brain. 2. Side Characters who make impact on the story 3. MC schemes more than he fights, and he ALWAYS fights dirty. 4. There are tons of scheming by side characters that even the MC can't easily deconstruct. 5. MC's cultivation method is fucked up beyond anything you've read on Webnovel. It grows wilder with each arc. So don't expect typical power-ups and revenge subplots. 6. Dry, lowbrow comedy.

However, a single mistake—sending a private video to the wrong contact—shatters her life in seconds. Publicly humiliated at a New Year’s party, betrayed by her boyfriend as part of a cruel bet, Jade stood drenched in filth and laughter, stripped of dignity in front of the entire school, until the Alpha Triplets arrived.

Mara Wells is invisible—a quiet designer who's spent twenty-eight years unnoticed. Until Damian Blackthorne steps into her elevator. Damian is a reclusive billionaire and Alpha whose wolf has been dormant for sixteen years. Until her scent awakens his beast with one word: mine. She is Moonborne—a legend extinct for three centuries. The woman who can awaken dormant Alphas and reshape the supernatural world. But their bond comes with a countdown: 29 days. Twenty-nine days to complete three trials or die. The Council wants her dead. Damian's brother Lucian wants revenge. And the real threat just woke from cryo-sleep: Selene—Damian's mother, the previous Moonborne who looks exactly like Mara. Selene didn't die thirty years ago. She was frozen. And now she's coming to merge with Mara's body, erasing her completely. Mara has twelve hours until Trial One—where five Alphas will exploit her deepest traumas to break her bond with Damian. Every orgasm costs time. Every use of power accelerates the countdown. And Selene is watching, waiting for Mara to crack. Six hostages will die if she fails. Her identity will vanish if Selene succeeds. And the bond that causes citywide blackouts might be the only thing keeping her alive—or the very thing that destroys her. She thought love was fantasy. He thought his wolf was dead. Together they've ignited something that makes Alphas kneel. But in twelve hours, Mara will face an impossible choice: remain herself and risk losing everything, or surrender to the bond and become something she doesn't recognize. When the Moonborne rises, the world trembles. But first, she must survive becoming herself.

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

this is my first book and it starts out as a huge info dump as well as barely any interactions, though it gets better in chapter 13 ============================ Jaxon has a normal life, he’s in school and has normal grades. He doesn’t want to be exceptional, that would only bring unnecessary drama. one day during spring break, as he was walking home, a truck suddenly ran into him as he was on the sidewalk. “it wasn’t that suprising, it happens everyday. I was just unlucky.” Jaxon thought as his conciseness faded. “at least I’m not a special person, who some how lives after that.” “oh but you are special, just not like that” a voice ringed out. it turns out he was special, and got to reincarnate, one of the best things he could think of to happen after dying. he didn’t like the transmigration stories because they couldn’t spend their infancy studying magic or any other things. he was born as Logan, in the Null family, he had 2 sisters and 1 brother. there were not any royal familes in his country, only elite familes. consisting of four familes. Logan’s exeled in magic, as well as swordsmanship, leading him to go to the knights academy, however he wanted to study magic so he decided to tell the headmasters of each school that he excels in magic and swordsmanship. he faces tragedies, and continues to grow as well as gaining relationships, though it appeared futile, later in the war against demons. —————————————————— the story won’t go premium and I am just looking for feedback on my writing note: the different novels are signifying the end of a arc
