He's dying... And never know he still has the strength to moan until Lucian Vale walks into his life. The cold, untouchable billionaire CEO with a flawless image, Rowan Donovan has six months left to live. Rowan has never desired a man. Never imagined wanting one. Never questioned who he was—until one day, he encounters a distinctively strange man, Lucian Vale. Lucian looks at him like he already knows how Rowan tastes. Lucian is sin dressed as a smile. Too bold. Too close. Too aware of the way Rowan stiffens when their bodies brush, the way his breath hitches when Lucian’s voice drops lower, slower, deliberate. Rowan tells himself it’s stress. Curiosity. A lapse in control. But his body doesn’t lie. He reacts to Lucian in ways he never has before- hard, desperate, undone. He moans for a man whose touch feels dangerous and addictive, whose hands don’t ask permission before taking what Rowan never knew he could give. What starts as secret nights meant to silence curiosity turns into something darker and deeper: need, craving, surrender. And somewhere between sweat-soaked sheets and whispered breaths, Rowan realizes the most terrifying truth of all— he doesn’t just want Lucian’s body. He wants to live. But Lucian is hiding something. Did Lucian just come to make the dying CEO moan before his death… or to decide whether he deserves to survive?

"Once ruthless, always ruthless—or so it was thought. But not for Elijah Rey Penelton, who met Samara Cortez, one of his clan’s associates. What will Elijah do when his stone-cold heart is struck by Cupid’s arrow? Will love affect his daily routine as a mafia boss? What if their very first meeting leaves Samara irritated with him? Can Cupid make his plan work for the two of them? Elijah Rey Penelton—a ruthless mafia boss who will experience his first love, a force that will change everything in his life. Will he accept those changes?"

"So, we all know the ongoing story(thank God I still have material to work with) of Monkey D. Luffy, the future Pirate King, right? And we all know about his dead brother, Portgas D. Ace also, right? Well, here's the thing: Ace's death has always bothered me, one way or another. And I know I'm not the only one who agrees with the donut's death. I always felt like there could be more to his character, instead of him just dying that easy. Like dying to a literal 'Yo Daddy's Joke'. I mean the dude had a powerful Logia-Type Devil Fruit, Conqueror's Haki, even stated to have awakened Armament, the potential to learn all three forms of Haki and awaken his Devil Fruit, yet decided to die like that. I mean, come on, Luffy learned basic Haki in two years, then proceeded to not only unlock all their advanced forms but also awaken his Devil Fruit. But then I realized, I can just make my own what-if. What if instead of Ace being the son of the former Pirate King, Luffy was truly the one who inherited that mantle instead? This is the story of Gol D. Luffy(my version since Manu from YouTube made his own what if video, go check it out if you want, but this is still my own take) and his crazy journey to becoming the King of the Pirates." ——————— WARNING → NO HAREM!! → NO LEMONS!! → NO SMUT(R18)!! THIS IS ONLY A FANFIC & FAN WORK THAT IS PURELY FICTIONAL AND SHOULDN'T BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY BY ANYONE. ——————— Note: I'm not a great writer, compared to people who write peak fiction like Eiichiro Oda and some other WebNovel writers, but I'm trying my best to improve. Can't guarantee this is going to be a good read but hey, if you enjoyed it then at least I tried my best.

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."

Elijah Rey Penelton, known as the richest billionaire pharmaceutical CEO in Asia, was also infamously one of the most ruthless men in the mafia world. To him, killing was effortless, as was crushing anyone who dared to stand in his way. Yet, this formidable, ruthless mafia boss harbored one profound weakness. "Elijah Rey Penelton, go home. Now!" "Yes, darling! I'm coming home now." That sole weakness, the one capable of transforming the most ruthless mafia boss into a softie, was none other than his wife, Samara Cortez-Penelton.

Every Diver gets 96 hours on Earth before Thirstfall drags them back. Most return broken. Some don't return at all. Dryden Sands survived that loop for ten years—until he reached Rank-A... and got erased by the person he trusted most. But the Sacred Codex he'd found had other plans—it reset everything to Day One. Now Dryden remembers everything—hidden dungeons, broken rules, future disasters. But the System remembers him... And in Thirstfall, anomalies don't just struggle—they get purged. --------------

"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.

Survival in a mafia romance game requires seduction, betrayal, and choosing the right mob boss. But thriller writer Tisha is armed with something far more dangerous: basic common sense.

It’s a battle of mafia romance tropes versus the laws of physics, and Tisha is bringing a heavily dented throwing knife to the gunfight. [50 Chapters]

Reborn into the ninja world, Li Anshi's gift from his mother, Blue Star, was unexpectedly the flying dagger skill of Li Tanhua. The Little Li Flying Dagger never misses! Li Anshi declares that he needs to give the powerhouses of the ninja world a little shock (Madara Uchiha), letting them know that the most looked-down-upon ninja tool throwing is, in fact, an invincible skill that surpasses everything. In essence, the story is about a Naruto fan who gets reborn into the Naruto world with the impossibly accurate and deadly throwing skill of a legendary wuxia character. He plans to use this skill, which is typically underestimated in the Naruto universe, to become incredibly powerful and challenge the strongest ninjas. It's a classic "weak-to-strong" power fantasy with a twist, combining the familiar world of Naruto with a unique and unexpected power source from Chinese wuxia literature.

# Synopsis I came back to life in the body of a dying boy, bound by his last wish: kill the sun god and the weather gods. So that's what I did. The moment I took over, I gained one ability — absorption. From my findings, the sun god had recently reincarnated and was still weak, practically still a child. Killing him should have bothered me more than it did. But gods don't stay dead. Give it a thousand years and he'd be fine. I absorbed his core and the system rewarded me with titles. [Congratulations! You have slain the Sun God and attained his blazing core!] [Title Acquired: Flame Champion] [Title Acquired: Godslayer!] Standing there reading those notifications, something shifted inside me. The dying boy's wish wasn't enough anymore. I wanted them all dead. One god led to another. Six divine kills later, I'm stronger than I ever imagined and I'm not done. There's an unexpected side effect though: every god I slay sends a villainess to my side. Each one brings her own power, her own reasons, and her own grudges. I'm building an army whether I planned to or not. Heaven has noticed and they've began to send champions — warriors empowered by the gods I haven't reached yet — to put me down. But they won't succeed, not before every last god falls.

A happy child with a happy smile, Lone walks the earth with a smile on his face. Always smiling and always "Happy." He greets all with a smile that he has long since kept on his face, and so that is how he always thought his life would go. That was until one day he won a prize from a small company he supported. Accepting the award, he used the key given to him and to the other 99 people to enter a Beta never before seen. A game world called Noctarine, where he could do whatever he wanted and however he wanted. Explore the lands, talk to the NPCs, and make his mark in the world. Or so that is what it wants him to believe. That is not his fate. Why should it be his fate? No, his fate is something more grand than that. But he must be ready to embrace it.

Look, I’m Riven Kael. Twenty-eight, data analyst, zero ambition beyond paying rent and avoiding small talk. My life was spreadsheets, instant ramen, and the occasional ghost I pretended not to see. Then one mandatory company gala, because of course it was mandatory, turned into the universe’s worst prank. I touched a cursed amulet. I just touched it. Next thing I know, I’m waking up in a penthouse that costs more than my entire bloodline, sporting a glowing marriage sigil on my wrist, legally and magically hitched to Azryth Valek. Yes, that Azryth Valek. The CEO of half the planet, a walking sin in a three-piece suit, an ancient demon lord who was literally sealed inside said amulet until I accidentally set him free. He says we’re bound. Separation means both of us die slowly and painfully. Soul-consumption optional but very much on the table if I’m stupid enough to fall for him. Which, newsflash, I am not. I’m not. Shut up. So now I’m living with an unfortunately hot CEO from hell, dodging assassination attempts disguised as corporate mergers, banishing spirits that show up at my desk like unpaid interns, and pretending we’re a power couple for the cameras while he smirks like he knows exactly how much I want to strangle him. Or kiss him. Or both. Brain, we are not doing this. I didn’t sign up for boardroom battles, multiversal rifts, or the terrifying realization that the arrogant demon who ruined my life might be the only one who truly sees me. But here I am. Still complaining, still fighting, still falling, against every shred of common sense, hopelessly, stupidly, irrevocably in love. Because when the universe marries you to the devil, it doesn’t ask for consent. It just hands you the ring. And damn it, I’m keeping it.

When the world was plunged into darkness, people managed to pull through. Their souls were united, strengthening each other until the world was filled with the light of hope. Now it is time for the future generations, which were born in the Era of Light, to evolve and discover the mysteries of their not-so-simple world. *** In a world where being a delver, exploring the rift, and conquering its depths were all that mattered. Appeared those who could not harness the power that was supposedly given to all appeared. Vlad was one of them, a person who didn't have any powers, not a spec of talent that even a random passerby on the street would have. He wasn't different than them in the slightest; just like everyone, he was useless. He failed his exams, balancing on a border between ultimately failing his last attempt at becoming a delver and wasting his chance to follow in his father's footsteps or succeeding, and finally gaining the worth he always lacked in his family. But he didn't give up, choosing to wait instead in case a day might come when he could harness that power without needing to awaken. Thus, the Failure of Albrecht was born.
