"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her.

Su Ming was a regular office worker. Then one bad day (and one fatal overtime shift) later, he woke up in the Heavenly Cloud Sect, one of the greatest cultivation sects under the heavens. Sounds amazing, right? A fresh start, endless opportunities, beautiful mountains, flying swords, except… His master had already vanished. His new title? Peak Master of White Lotus Peak. White Lotus Peak’s glorious legacy? Dust, an incomplete cultivation technique that nobody understands, and exactly zero disciples. No resources. No prestige. No future. And to make matters worse, he was already a cripple - on a ticking clock. … Su Ming rubbed his temples. “Really? Out of all the possibilities, I get this?” He sighed. But if the heavens thought he would quietly play the role of a washed-up cripple, they clearly underestimated an overworked office worker who had binge-read far too many cultivation novels. Follow our Peak Master as he stumbles, schemes, and occasionally slashes his way through the mysterious world of cultivation—amid heaven’s chosen, young masters, villains, and “protagonists”… all while uncovering the so-called mysteries of the great Dao.

Every remaining guy instantly shrank 70% downstairs (goodbye big dicks), but their asses ballooned into massive, jiggly, shelf-like bubble butts. Horniness went nuclear with almost no outlets, so the world flipped: bottoms worshipped the rare 3-5 inch kings, anal orgasms ruled, and nonstop fucking killed all violence.

That year, Sengoku hadn’t yet become Fleet Admiral. That year, Kuzan, Sakazuki, and Borsalino were young men with burning ambition. That year, Marine hero Vice Admiral Garp chased Gol D. Roger across the seas, unstoppable and legendary. And that same year… Kyle survived it all. Shot in the head, blasted by cannon fire, his throat slit by a sword, drowned beneath the waves, burned by raging flames—yet he did not die. He started as a quiet, unremarkable rookie under Garp’s command. But when he saw the hero Vice Admiral, leveling a town with a single punch… Kyle silently lowered his gaze. And then, in the shadows of awe, he quietly maxed out his Conqueror’s Haki.

‎KURIKORU BLOODLINE: EXISTENCE OF PAIN ‎ ‎A prophecy spoken by the Watchers foretold the rise of three brothers—sons of one man—each bound to a different fate, each destined to reshape the world. ‎ ‎Laiman was warned never to go to war. ‎He defied fate—and survived the Battle of the Sixty Thousand, a massacre no man was meant to live through. As punishment, the power that saved him was stolen and passed to his unborn son. ‎ ‎That child became Ragna. ‎ ‎Born in flight and raised in secrecy, Ragna grew up unaware that he was one of the enslaved Migardians forced to serve the very empire that crushed his people. While training at the Temple of Eyes, he discovered the truth—and chose rebellion. ‎ ‎But Ragna was not alone. ‎ ‎His brothers walked darker paths. ‎Colvo, raised in privilege, believed order must be enforced through fear. ‎Mist, rejected by society, sought freedom through revolution. ‎ ‎When blood ties were revealed, brotherhood turned to war. ‎ ‎Chains were shattered. Kingdoms fell. Crowns were raised in blood. ‎Ragna became the Liberator of Migard, Mist the founder of a rebel nation, and Colvo the empire’s deadliest commander. ‎ ‎This is not the story of one king. ‎ ‎It is the origin of a bloodline— ‎forged through pain, ambition, and prophecy— ‎that will one day dominate the Broken Continent. ‎

This is a novel about a former human who becomes a demon because of a game. He lives his life as a demon from the Abyss, crossing into other worlds. (There will be different systems in use, different plots, and different powers. Expect cultivation systems, game systems, magic systems, and much more.) His main objective is to destroy and cause chaos throughout the multiverse. This novel also uses a ranking system that affects both anime and comic universes. Void becomes a Primordial Demon and, step by step, changes the views of all races about demons. Demons are not weak; demons are beings of pure chaos. Note that the MC is cruel and indifferent to life. This is a dark novel, so don't expect a Son of Destiny. In fact, Void isn't a villain...he is far, far crueler. Do not read if you are weak-minded.

Or so the world believes. From the forgotten echoes of his bloodline, a boy emerges—unaware of the legacy within him, yet destined to face the very force that once nearly erased humanity.

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?
