He threw money on the bed after our one-night stand. I threw it back in his face at his own inauguration. By sundown, we were engaged. By the week's end — married. Franklin Flemington needed a wife to secure his empire. I needed a miracle to save my family. For two years, we played our parts flawlessly — the golden couple the whole city envied. Behind closed doors, I was invisible to him. When the two years were up, I handed him divorce papers without blinking. He stared at me like I'd lost my mind. "I've given you everything a husband should. What more do you want from me, Octavia?" I smiled, signed my name, and walked out. I thought that was the end. I thought I'd finally won. I forgot one thing — Franklin Flemington has never lost anything in his life. And he has no intention of starting with me. Game on.

He was forbidden. My brother's best friend. Also the most dangerous man in the country. And I signed myself over to him. Leah Thorne had one rule: stay away from Dimitri Valentino. It shouldn't have been difficult. He was ruthless, feared, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only truly dangerous things are. The kind of man who owned nightclubs, commanded armies, and made grown men weep with a single look. The kind of man her brother Mike trusted with his life. The kind of man she had absolutely no business wanting. But one shattered marriage, one bottle of whiskey, and one catastrophically bad decision later, Leah wakes up in Dimitri's bed with a signed contract on the nightstand and six months of her life no longer her own. Her body. His rules. No exceptions. The contract is iron-clad, the penalty clause suffocating — fifty million dollars she doesn't have. And Dimitri Valentino, the Wolf of the Italian underworld, has absolutely no intention of letting her go. He says he'll ruin her for other men. He's not lying. Because beneath the cold control and the thousand-dollar suits is a man who has wanted her for seven sinful years — who has memorized the curve of her smile, the sound of her laugh, and exactly how to take her apart piece by piece until the only word left in her vocabulary is his name. Eve came to him broken, looking to feel wanted. She never expected to feel owned. She never expected to love it. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God is a scorching dark romance about forbidden hunger, dangerous obsession, and the catastrophic moment a good girl stops running from the wolf who has always been hunting her. Some contracts change everything. Some men are worth the fine print.

A virtual reality game set in the Warhammer Universe, featuring a high degree of freedom and incorporating multiple well-known IPs, has become a viral sensation online.

*Please, read this till the end; Trust me, this is not your regular repititive smut romance; When Benjamin Mark dies a lonely virgin after a lifetime of work and illness, mischievous gods grant him a steamy second chance in the fantasy world of Elyndor. Reborn with a handsome new body, infinite stamina, and a cheeky System designed to help him “enjoy life,” Benjamin stumbles into the hidden paradise of Verdant Spire—an ancient forest enclave inhabited solely by fierce, voluptuous Amazon warriors. These proud women, who normally venture out only to seek temporary mates, have never allowed a man to live among them… until now. Rescued and claimed by the passionate scout Sara, Benjamin quickly discovers that his arrival is seen as a divine gift. With the System unlocking tantalizing new abilities with every intimate encounter, he becomes the cherished center of an eager, all-female tribe—from attentive warriors to the commanding Queen herself. In a village where strength, beauty, and desire rule, one reincarnated man is about to fulfill every unspoken regret of his past life… one breathless night at a time. A sinful isekai harem fantasy of reincarnation, endless stamina, and the ultimate male wish-fulfillment. There's some Yuri in some chapters. I made sure to tag the chapters where I suddenly add some trope. The bonus chapters are where I dive deeper into some plots, and exploring world building, without slowing down the main story. Skip it if you only want Benjamin's journey, because there you might find flashbacks of other characters and history, which could include gore, NTR for other characters, or other things concerning the world building. Readers who skip bonuses still get the exclusive pure harem/power fantasy ride, while those who read them, who like the entire plot above smut, get richer side stories. I repeat, do not spend coins on bonus chapters if you only want Benjamin's journey and power fantasy. If you want a whole epic saga, then dive into the bonuses too and enjoy the story. Core harem (Amazons who love/claim the MC, fairies like Clay who confess, sluts who abandon old lives for him) stays 100% loyal—no desires elsewhere, and no cheating. That's the promise I made. If you're looking for 100% exclusive loyalty from the actual love interests, it's all there—no worries. I appreciate the support from everyone enjoying the ride! Note; The Author is a super nice person. If you want to drop reasonable suggestions or advise, they're open. But please note; if you insult, abuse, or accuse them, they will defend themselves. Some folks literally pop up and say horrible stuff because the story was not THEIR story. Please, let us coexist in peace. I love peace. But if it's war, though we'll not like it, yeah; come abuse the Author.

"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. 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.

[Cultivation] + [Cautious/Steady Development] + [Keywords] + [Longevity] + [Sign-In] + [Fast-Paced] (New book launch! I am not the original author of this book, just translating. The original author is Ai Chi Gan Shao Hong Yu De Lou Ying) Han Xuanji transmigrated to a cultivation world and discovered that everyone in the cultivation realm is extremely competitive. For someone like him with no talent, no resources, and no background cultivation is incredibly difficult. Fortunately, he activated the Sign-In System. As long as he signs in at places filled with Dao resonance, he can receive all kinds of rewards. Signing in in front of the Patriarch’s statue, he obtained the keyword: [Talent of an Immortal]. [Talent of an Immortal]: A term used in the cultivation world to refer to those with top-tier talent. You possess immortal spiritual roots far superior to heavenly spiritual roots. You have full attribute compatibility and are suited to practice any cultivation method. Signing in at the Dao Transmission Stele, he obtained the keyword: [Extraordinary Comprehension]. Signing in at the Pill Refining Hall, he obtained a bottle of supreme-grade pills. Signing in at the Sect’s Treasury, he received a chest of supreme-grade spirit stones. While others bitterly cultivate and clash with demonic cultivators, Han Xuanji slacks off and checks in daily within the sect. All kinds of spiritual pills, divine weapons, and peerless techniques are at his fingertips. In short, Han Xuanji just lies low within the sect. As for going out to explore and adventure? Only fools would do that! P.S.: This is a "cautious cultivation" novel. The protagonist focuses on development and doesn’t act arrogant or slap faces.

Rolan, a 35-year-old office worker from Earth, never imagined his life would end under the divine wheels of the most feared deity in all dimensions — the God of Reincarnation and Transmigration, known only as Truck-kun. But fate, it seems, had grander plans. Awakening in the body of a dead teenage cabin boy drifting through the perilous seas of the One Piece world, Rolan quickly discovers his new vessel wasn’t ordinary — it came bound to a mysterious and powerful System. Armed with this cheat-like ability and memories of a world that once viewed pirates as fiction, Rolan decides to abandon all notions of destiny or morality. In this chaotic sea ruled by monsters, Marines, and legends, he’ll carve out a new path — one driven not by justice or dreams... but by freedom. Will he rise as a pirate feared across the Grand Line? After all — this is no longer Luffy’s story. This is Rolan’s era — the tale of a man reborn to live as he wishes, in a world where only the strong can truly be free.

I’ve seen a lot of people work on this book. Funny enough, most of them never finish it or even make it to 100 chapters. So I decided to take it on myself. And this time, I intend to see it through to the end. Enjoy. ___ A Transmigrator… you don’t see that every day.....right??? Well, somehow, I transmigrated into the Naruto world, Am an Uchiha. Sounds lucky? Yeah… not quite. I thought I’d live out a painfully ordinary life as just another nameless shinobi. No legendary talent. No destined greatness. Just missions, bloodshed, and an unmarked grave. Good thing I got a system. Rinnegan? Flying Thunder God? How overpowered can I actually become?

Julian sees a opening on the side of a mountain. When he investigates it he uncovers the secrets of the world and gets involved in magical activities. And through a turn of twisted events he turns into something far greater than he could even imagine.

✓ MASSIVE RELEASE ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH.✓ BLURB: “We are sorry Maria, we never meant to hurt you. Come back to us!" They all thundered. But it was too late, I was determined to make them Pay. *** I am Maria Moon, casted out of my Pack at the age of eighteen. All because of a tradition— one that states, that which ever family the Alpha's mate comes from, any other female wolf of same status is cast out. But it all felt wrong, It wasn't supposed to be me but her— my step sister— Patricia Moon. “I, Darren Copper, Alpha of the Frost moon pack, hereby declare that Maria Moon is no longer a member of this pack!” I pleaded for them to see the truth but no one cared, they were all blinded by their love for her. I became a rogue, wandered about for days and was unfortunate to attacked by the older rogues. And even more unfortunate to be saved by the quadruplet Alpha's, my Pack rival Alpha's. *** “Isn't she the Beta's daughter of Frost moon pack?" Damien growled as he turned to his brothers. “Definitely, she looks the same even after five years!" Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid." Adrien chuckled lightly, a sly smirk appearing across his lips. “Nice idea Aidan. We would make her suffer!" CONTENT WARNING.
