• 1-2 New Chapters Every Day Ethan Park did everything right. He graduated from Wharton, landed a coveted seat on a Wall Street equity derivatives desk, and promised himself he would never waste the sacrifices his immigrant parents made. Instead he finds himself drowning in volatility, office politics, and the quiet humiliation of being a junior trader who is always one mistake away from disaster. Then his ancestor appears in his toilet. Park Gyeong-seok, a Joseon era feng shui master who once served the royal court, fell into a river during the chaos of the Imjin War and never fulfilled his final duty. Now he wakes up in twenty first century Manhattan, furious, soaked in pride, and determined to correct the catastrophic flow of energy in his descendant’s life. Ethan does not believe in spirits or geomancy. He believes in pricing models and risk limits. Unfortunately for him, the old master can read the currents of fortune running through his apartment, his office, and even the market itself. As small adjustments begin to shift Ethan’s luck on his tech volatility desk, coincidence starts to look like design. Success brings attention. Attention brings rivals. And bending fate for profit comes with a cost neither of them fully understands. Complicating matters further is Mei Lin, a sharp Chinese-American architect with her own complicated relationship to tradition. As Ethan falls for her, the world of feng shui expands beyond one stubborn Joseon scholar into a larger web of Chinese myth, lineage, and unseen contracts that bind cities and people alike. Between modern finance and ancient geomancy, ambition and balance, love and pride, Ethan must decide whether he wants to master the market or learn what it truly means to stand in the right place at the right time. On Wall Street, everyone is chasing an edge. Ethan just happens to have one arguing with him from the bathroom.

"Victory is justice! Fight soldiers, fight!" Gunfires, explosions, screams, death of comrades. That was how Benign's life was. Orphaned at fifteen and thrust into war, he earned the nickname 'The Cross', and feared by opposition. When he died on the battlefield, he accepted it. All Glory. No regrets. So why was he fighting again? Beasts, elves, reptilian men. He had woken in the world of the only fantasy book he'd finished. Gifted with a legendary SSS-Ranked System—ten times as proud as he could ever be—and three volatile cheat skills, his mission was clear. Stop the realm glitches. Restore the Primordial Core. Awaken the gods. But there were others. Poisoned systems? Berserk hosts controlled by a villain? It didn't make sense. Till he remembered the events matched the one from a niche book he once finished. He remembered the protagonist's internal monologue from the book's first volume; he knew where the Core could be found. First, find the protagonist. The boy was a danger magnet who would draw the villain to them. Second, make the gods resume their job. Third, dismiss the gods and take the job from them. Benign didn't mind dying again. But what was the reward? Returning to his original body wouldn't cut it. [Um… a marriage contract to the necromancer fairy who hates you?] "I am not that desperate." [Oh. Then, the keys to the lost realms? To own, live, and satiate your curiosity?] A smirk grew on Benign's face. "You should have said that the first time." He paused. "If you know where they are, are they even lost then?"

What if your most vivid dreams weren't dreams at all, but a window into a life that isn't yours? 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.

"It took us three days to clear the first floor," Jax shouted, backing up as the creature lunged. "This is our first mission together." Mira laughed, sharp and breathless, already moving. "You worry too much." She slid past him, blade flashing.

"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.

I just died in a car crash. What do you mean I have to get pregnant in three days?! When Lin Yue wakes up in an interstellar beastworld, she expects to fight for survival. Instead, a glowing screen informs her she's been chosen as a surrogate for an endangered beastfolk cub. The father? A terrifying beastman warlord who definitely didn't ask for a human " Wife." Now she has three days to figure out how interspecies pregnancy works, convince a 6-foot wolf-man she's not a threat, and survive a planet where everyone either wants to eat her, mate with her, or both. At least the Mummy System gives her achievement points for not crying in front of the cub. This was NOT in the transmigration brochure

Kai Voss died in a cab on a Tuesday. He woke up on a battlefield in a world that runs on a divine System — classes, levels, skills handed down by gods who've been managing humanity like a spreadsheet for three thousand years. He didn't get an Awakening ceremony. He didn't get a class assignment. What he got was something older, colder, and far more dangerous: the Architect's Core — the editing layer the gods used to *build* the System in the first place, sealed away and supposedly destroyed because anything that can build a System can also unmake one. The gods find out within the week. Six of them vote to kill him. Five vote to keep him alive. He survives by one vote, and only because the world needs something only he can do. Three thousand years ago, the Architects weren't just building a power system for adventurers and kings. They were running a repair operation — patching a tear in base reality that, left unchecked, will unravel the world from the foundation up. The gods took over their work, stripped out the maintenance functions they didn't understand, and hoped the damage would hold. It isn't holding. The Breaches are growing. The patch is failing. And deep inside the oldest Breach on the continent, something has spent eleven years building itself in the dark — and it's starting to move. Kai has a Cognition stat that approaches the original System's designer. He has a class he built himself, skills he designed from scratch, and admin access to an architecture that predates the gods. He has a Cardinal who's quietly decided the Pantheon has been lying, a heretic researcher who's spent six years chasing proof he exists, and three people carrying sealed Architect bloodlines they never knew about. What he doesn't have is time. --- System fantasy. Fast-paced. No filler. The gods built the cage — he has the source code.

[Synopsis] "In this world, blood is destiny. If you aren't born an Uchiha, a Senju, or an Uzumaki, you are merely fuel for the fires of war." When two souls from the modern world wake up in the bodies of nameless orphans at the dawn of the Second Great Shinobi War, they refuse to accept the "fodder" role assigned to them. They have no Kekkei Genkai. They have no secret scrolls. They have no legendary ancestors. All they have is a memory of a world where the sword was king and the breath was the gateway to godhood. From the blood-soaked fields of the Rain Country to the final confrontation with the "Gods" of the Shinobi world, follow the journey of the two "Calamities" who taught Konoha that you don’t need a bloodline to make the heavens bleed. [What to expect:] Unique Power System: A deep-dive crossover of Demon Slayer Breathing Styles adapted logically into Naruto’s chakra physics. Dual Protagonists: A "Shield and Spear" dynamic between two transmigrators with vastly different personalities. Butterfly Effect: Watch the timeline shatter as two "Outsiders" refuse to follow the script. [Authors Note This is a story about two OCs/Transmigrators Using a unique Breathing-based power system in a realistic Naruto setting. if you like ‘Wind Calamity’ or ‘Demon Slayer’, you MIGHT be in the right place! and also NO SYSTEMMM!! no romance or female lead… this could change in the future but for right now I have no interest adding them.]

In his past life, he was a lone-wolf survivalist. In his spare time, he was a fan of the gritty web novel Chronicles of Freedom. Now, he is Zeth, a child transmigrated into the brutal recruitment trials of Team Rocket. Zeth knows the rules. He knows the "Cain" method. He has the same analytical System recording every biological quirk and aptitude of the monsters around him. But as he stands on the shore of a lethal island—divided by scorching deserts and a high-level volcanic zone—he realizes something terrifying: This is not the book he read. New regions, undiscovered gates to dangerous dimensions, and historical figures like a young Cynthia and Steven Stone populate this world. The "meta-knowledge" that was supposed to be his greatest weapon is now an unreliable map leading him into death traps. With a green-potential Houndour as his only ally and a one-month deadline to survive the trial, Zeth must use his survivalist instincts and his secret System to "unshackled" his Pokémon's limits. In Team Rocket, you are either the predator or the fodder. Zeth has no intention of dying twice. ----------------------------------- My second book!!! as said before this is very heavily inspired by the fanfic "Pokemon: Chronicles Of Freedom" which is my favorite Pokemon book by far and that inspired me to create my own with certain same principles... And NOOOO this ain't a blatant copy as you will see later on as I added so much newer stuff. There's possibly no romance, but if I had to choose one down the line it would of course either be Cynthia or Diantha.. But that's pretty much it. author out! happy reading....

I’m your average girl—well, *was*—who spends most of her days buried in CEO romance novels. Yeah, I know, *so cliche*, right? But hey, we all have our guilty pleasures. So, what about work, you ask? Well, my job made it easy to read the day away as long as I got my tasks done by the end of the day. Sounds perfect, right? Simple, right? Well, that's because I was a librarian. *Past tense.* Why? Because some arrogant, narcissistic jerk gets me fired. Why? Apparently, I didn’t notice him walking up to the counter because I was too busy getting lost in my latest book. Now, you’d think any *normal* person would just tap me on the shoulder and say, “Excuse me.” But no, this guy *decides* to get me fired. Rude? Oh, you bet. But that’s not even the worst part. Oh, no. The real problem started when I decided to get my revenge. That’s when I got tangled up with him… in more ways than one. Now, not only am I working for this narcissistic jerk, but I’m doing it undercover. Why? Because apparently, he has an issue with women working for him... especially when things get *too close* in the sheets. (Yeah, you *get* where this is going.) So, I’m pretending to be a man. Why? Because I need the job. It’s high-paying, and it’s my ticket out of my miserable, *pathetic* life. I mean, revenge is great and all, but I’ve got bills to pay. Money’s my new love, and there’s no way I’m letting some petty rivalry get in the way of it. The tricky part? Balancing my need for cash with the fear of being exposed. I’ve got two huge secrets: one, I’m the woman who shared the sheets with him. And two? I’m a woman, disguised as a man, and praying every day that my cover doesn’t blow. One wrong move, and my entire life—my job, my reputation, my *revenge*—could come crashing down. So, yeah, no pressure. But hey, what’s life without a little drama, right? Right."

There are no women left in the werewolf world. At least, that's what the packs tell themselves. The world is ruled by wolves. And wolves have no queens. Female werewolves are extinct—erased by time, war, or something worse. No one dares to speak of them. No one remembers how they looked. No one *survived* them. Except her. Raised as a mistake. Hidden like a curse. She bound her chest in bloody cloth and learned to walk with a limp so they wouldn't see her hips. She spoke in growls and spit like the boys. She pissed in the dirt and pretended not to bleed. Her grandfather called her deformed. Said she was sick. A freak. Told her if the pack ever found out what she really was, they’d rip her to shreds. And she believed him. Until the night of her first shift—when her bones broke and reformed into something unmistakably *female*. Now, the secret she was told would kill her becomes the reason she's sold. Five alphas. Five monsters in human skin. Rulers of a vicious, dying pack. They've been waiting their entire lives for something like her. Something to fuck. Something to breed. Something to chain. Now exposed as the only living female werewolf, she is captured and sold like livestock—delivered to five ruthless alphas who rule by claw and blood. Five rivals who see her as salvation and property. A walking womb to breed a new generation. Their personal apocalypse in fragile flesh. But they made one mistake. They thought she was prey. But she is not fragile. She is fire. She is hunger. She is vengeance wrapped in curves and teeth. They want her on her knees. She’ll bring them to theirs. By the time their lust turns lethal and their unity rots into war, she’ll have made them hers—or burned them to the fucking ground. She’ll let them fight over her. She’ll let them touch, taste, even claim her. She’ll feed their obsession until it rots into madness. Then she’ll twist their lust into rage—and tear their precious pack apart from the inside. One kiss at a time. One betrayal at a time. One body at a time. She was born to be their ruin.

He will climb until he stands at the absolute Pinnacle of the universe! --- Tags: #Psychological #Interstellar( with advanced technology) #Unrivaled #ExtremelyFastPaced #UndeadArmy #NoHarem #RuthlessMC #Urban #Apocalypse #Mythical creatures( elves, vampires, witches, dwarves etc) #IntelligentMC(High IQ, deductive , strategic, high functioning psychopath) Disclaimer: This is purely a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. He makes decisions that those interested in hero complex protagonists may not find pleasant. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

Warning: This is not R18, straight to the story. Exactly five years ago, the world faced a strange disaster — every man suddenly turned into a half-monster. And now, goblins are spreading fast for no clear reason. I’m Arla, and today I’m joining the mass recruitment test, taking the Knight position. The reason’s simple — I don’t have much mana, but my physical strength is pretty solid. It won’t be easy, but I’ll do it!!!

[WARNING !!!!!!!! MATURE CONTENT 18+ sexual content, Violence, Vulgar words, etc] Beaten by her husband and desperate to escape, after two years of abuse in a marriage with Jake Steele, April Carter finally plans to escape her cruel husband. April’s life changes overnight when a medical mistake leaves her hopeless and broken. She discovers she has been accidentally inseminated with the baby of the cold billionaire CEO Lucas Brook. He wants the baby gone, and she refuses to give it up. He calls it a mistake and she calls it her child. But when a sudden marriage ties them together, their lives become entangled in family schemes, Jealous rivals, and secrets. ***************** April also sat down on the task chair gently with her head lowered because with Lucas’s demeanor she couldn’t look him in the eye, his cold eyes were enough to freeze her up.  “I don’t think I need to explain myself much, as you know, I’m the sperm donor.”  “I– I know.” April stuttered and swallowed hard still with her head lowered.  Lucas nodded before he continued.  “I heard you’re already two weeks pregnant, and as for that, this is my bank card. It has huge amounts of money enough for you to get rid of that.”   Lucas stretched his hand forward towards April to receive the card but tears instead gathered in her eyes while staring at the black card in between his fingers.  “That? But— This is your child.” April’s eyes already flood with tears.  “I won’t repeat myself; I have nothing to do with it. Just get rid of it and live your life, the money is enough to keep your family happy for years to come.”  April raised her head staring at his cold eyes before giving any response.  “I guess all men are the same then, a rogue, pathetic and heartless human.” April in a hoarse voice as the tears couldn’t stop but instead flooded more.  “I never intended for this to happen; I kept it for a reason. Sort yourself out, you don’t want to ruin your future, do you?”   Lucas spoke in his cold voice before slamming the card on the table as he strode out in long stride with his secretary behind him.  “You heartless man, I hate you!” April ran out the door screaming at his back with tears in her eyes.  Lucas didn’t turn back or even blink an eyelid to think about what she said. 

They saved us from a dying Earth, only to turn us into monsters. A secret group calling themselves the Enix plucked me from the apocalypse, gave me an incredible power system, and forced me into a brutal death match against other survivors. I was one of the lucky few to make it out alive, armed with a power they can't control: my own imagination to create, build, and materialize any weapon or object I can imagine. Now, they've given us our grand purpose: to protect the last human settlement from a tyrannical emperor on a war-torn alien world. They call us heroes, the last hope for a species on the brink of extinction. But with every battle we fight for them, the lies begin to unravel. We were told we are fighting for humanity's survival, but the truth feels far more dangerous. In a universe where our saviors might be the real demons, my power isn't just for creating weapons—it's for finding the truth. And I'm starting to suspect that the greatest threat isn't the emperor we've been sent to kill, but the very people who saved us.

[Attention, humans] [Welcome to Midgard, a realm between life and death.] [All 300 players accounted for!] [Evaluation successful!] Jamie never expected his life to end while saving a stranger. One moment he was pushing a pregnant woman out of the path of a roaring truck— the next, he awakens in Midgard: a realm where death is just the beginning. He isn’t alone. Two hundred ninety-nine others, torn from their final moments, stand beside him. Their fate? To endure ten brutal trials that test body, mind, and spirit.

And at the end awaits a choice: Reincarnate into a fantastical new world, carrying every skill earned. Return to Earth … alive, but powerless. But in a world where trust is fragile and every alliance can shatter in an instant, Jamie must decide— Is mere survival enough? Or will he fight for something greater?
