Qin Yue, famous for his unlucky constitution felt like he had used up all his lifetimes worth of luck to leave the village. But that was it. Even after leaving, bad luck plagued him insistently and robbed him of various opportunities. That was why he was skeptical when his friend found him a cheap house. His rent had already expired and his old landlord refused to keep him. With the mentality of just going to check it out, he found out it was real, not some prank. A random person didn't snatch it seconds before he arrived, the landlord didn't faint and the house had to be sold to pay hospital bills.. nothing. Thinking that this was his second in a lifetime lucky break, he didn't hesitate to pay the rent for a year straight. After moving in, he found out his luck couldn't just be changed like that. Why didn't any one tell him this was a haunted house? And now the ghost was refusing to let him go.

Richard met up with his then-wife and friends at the bar of their friend Hector, after closing up and heading to a bar crawl, the world decided to go topsy-turvey on them. Finding out he was supposed to die over a year ago was a shocker, but finding out he was to interact with Dimensions to help decide if they were worth the effort of saving or wiping out was another. To top it off, he didn't like what happen in regards to his family.

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

In a world where power determines destiny, the weak are remembered long enough only to be ignored, kael Verin is one of them - an orphan living in the shadow of towering warriors,legendary mages and noble bloodlines blessed with ancient abilities. Born without visible talent and mocked as "the forgotten", kael survives on the edges of society, doing whatever he can to stay alive in a kingdom where strength is law But the world is not as simple as it seems to be When kael stumbles upon a mysterious relic buried within the forgotten ruin of a battlefield, something dormant awakens-not just within the relic but within in kael himself. Ancient memories whispering in his mind, fragments of power stir within his very essence of existence and a buried truth begins to reveal itself:the power that the world discarded maybe the power it once feared As monsters begin appearing across the continent and forgotten ruins start reacting to kael's presence, powerful figures take notice. Empires hunt him,secret orders watch him, and ancient beings long sealed away begin to stir within their imprisonment Forced onto a perilous journey across cursed lands, lost kingdoms, dungeons -Kael must grow stronger or die forgotten as the world intended. Along the way, he gathers unassuming allies, uncovers history of the past that was buried and learns that the line between being a hero or becoming a walking catastrophe is very thin.

Each chapter is a new short story around 5k+ words, all of them take place in different places and at different times and with different characters. Expect action, comedy, adventure, slice of life, romance and a decent bit of explanation. Each chapter is a different story so you can skip chapters if you want. Important note: The world and Power System are still kind of experimental and some things may be changed over time. The things that I'll upload here will be short stories about the fictional world that I've come up with and built as a way of preparing to write longer books. The stories will probably be largely unrelated to each other but will take place in the same universe. As I am writing this, my current plan is to make every short story around 3000-6000 words, fast paced and single chapter.

Kailen Darkhaven once lived a simple, happy life. But after a sudden tragedy claimed the lives of his parents two years ago, his entire world collapsed. His heart broke, his grades plummeted, and worst of all, on his sixteenth birthday—his final chance at hope—he failed to become an Awakener. By seventeen, hungry, exhausted, and alone, Kailen collapsed in an alleyway, regretting how pitiful his life had become. As he drifted toward what he believed was death’s embrace… something impossible happened. Instead of dying, he awakened—bound to a mysterious artifact of overwhelming, incomprehensible power, an object that defied every known law of the universe. For the first time since losing everything, a spark lit within him once more. With this second chance, Kailen vows to never be weak again. In a world where strength determines status, identity, and survival, he will rise beyond every boundary placed upon him. He will shatter every perception of power. He will seize control of his fate. And he will climb until he stands at the absolute pinnacle of the universe.

If you are into MCs who can really scheme and are several steps ahead of their enemies, then this novel for you. --- Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

The God of Death has made a return, not to dominate the world, but to change a diaper. Raiking, once the supreme cultivator capable of obliterating civilizations with a mere thought, has emerged from years of isolation to discover that the only mortal he ever cherished is dead. She left behind only a final promise and an infant daughter named Faye. Confronted with the terrifying duty of raising a child and utterly at a loss for how to begin, Raiking seeks the guidance of his legendary Guild members: • ​Ezmelral: A sentient Divine Sword that tackles rocking the cradle with the precision of a military operation. • ​Libinea: A dethroned Phoenix Queen simply trying to manage the ensuing chaos. What mortals perceive as the onset of an apocalyptic conflict is, in fact, a god's frantic quest to obtain: Ordinary milk? No, my daughter deserves only the finest. The Heavens possess the best Celestial Milk? Then we must seize it. She needs a bed? There are whispers in the tavern about a dungeon, locked away for a thousand years, that is soon to be unsealed. Mortal sects are vying for the legendary artifact inside? How unfortunate for them. That Ice Bed is the only thing that can keep her comfortable, so I will claim it. Babies need toys? Then the Dwarven Kingdom must ensure their finest blacksmiths are on the job. Yet, beneath the humor lies a deeper narrative. Raiking’s actions send ripples through the world, drawing the attention of old foes, estranged allies, and a former wife who still believes that fragile human lives hold a significance he has long dismissed. As the child, Faye, grows, she becomes both anchor and enigma: evidence that even the God of Death might be transformed, not by fate, but by the quiet, ordinary moments he once considered trivial. --- This is a slice-of-life comedy about an overpowered dad who tackles parenting dilemmas with excessive force.

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 grants favours but gets your soul in return. When Luca comes to collect a debt from her father, the payment demanded is flesh. Veronica becomes both Luca’s weakness and his obsession. 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.

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?

That is until a thought of stealing Safira Castle froms in his Mind But unexpectedly, his careful path veers into a very different world. Beautiful and dangerous women—witches, scholars, mysterious heiresses—who are drawn to the quiet boy who knows things he shouldn't. Pleasure and power tangle together, pulling him deeper with every accidental encounter. What began as cautious survival becomes indulgence he never planned for. And in a world ruled by gods and madness, even unintended temptation can lead straight to the abyss… or to something far greater. R18 – Explicit smut, mature romance, dark themes.

"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.

An actor with a system that allows him to don on infinite number of identities in countless different fantasy worlds. --- Carter Hayes, a method actor of the 21st century died while saving a kidnapped girl from a gang of criminals. Instead of heaven or hell, his soul was snatched to the Prime World, a realm that governs over countless smaller dimensions. He became an expendable for a minor faction called Cyber Runner. This multiverse, however, had another plan for him. At the moment of arrival, he had awakened the Infinite Skin System. [HOST FOUND] [INFINITE SKIN SYSTEM ACTIVATED] [ELDRITCH KNIGHT ACQUIRED] [ELDRITCH KNIGHT: THE KILLER OF TERROR] Carter was thrown into a world full of monsters. But he had no worries, with Eldritch Knight, he leveled the entire horror world. Then he jumped dimensions. There was an endless amount of dimensions in Prime World. Dimension of the Mystic Arts. Dimension of Medieval Adventurers. Dimension of Futuristic Dystopian. Dimemsion of Magical Fairy Tales. And many more. Carter stood on top of them all with his smooth face with no characteristic. He smiled and picked a dimesion he liked. His hand casted over his face, changing his appearance and powers. "The world is my stage. The people are characters on a script. The skins are my roles. I have more names than there are stars. I have more titles than there are worlds. I am the Blank Space, Lord of Destiny, the Wandering Sage. I am Insidius, the Third Wind, and Devourer of Flesh. My sword is the Prisoner. My wand is the Light-Bearer. My knife is the Dark-Chaser. I am the First Man, the Tragic One, and Truth-Seeker. I am Carter Hayes."

He claims she belongs to another man… but he looks at her like she’s already his. Aveline Willowgrave was born to wealth, dignity… and a future she would never live to claim. At ten years old, she watched her parents die. The years that followed were worse. Her uncle stole her inheritance, her home, and her freedom. And at last… he sold her. She was masked, chained, and priced like livestock before a room of hungry men. Just as the crowd surges forward to strip her bare, a single voice cuts through the auction… A bid so high it silences the entire hall. A knight from Greenvale. He does not save her. He buys her. And when he removes his helmet, Aveline’s breath catches. Theron. The quiet orphan boy she once mocked when her world was still soft and golden. Now, he stands before her, powerful, controlled… and impossible to read. He tells her she was never meant for him. She was purchased as a gift, for Prince Vaelor of Greenvale, the Crown Prince whispered to be as cruel as he is untouchable. Cornered between slavery and a fate worse than death, Aveline makes the only choice left to her. “Don’t give me to the prince,” she whispers. “Take me as your mistress instead.” But Theron did not return to her life by accident. He has his own reasons. His own secrets. And as Aveline is drawn into Greenvale’s glittering court, she begins to wonder... Why did he choose her? Why did he disappear days before her parents died? And why, when he looks at her now, does it feel less like hatred… and more like something far more dangerous?
