The Dao was never meant to awaken. It existed only as a silent law—until it shattered itself into countless conscious Dao Paths. And when they fought, entire worlds were erased. To mortals, it was extinction. To immortals, it was judgment. Yet beyond all realms—inside the Vast Emptiness where no Dao can reach—two fragments were swallowed by the Void. They did not even remember themselves. In endless nothingness, they drifted—until loneliness pushed them to create. From pure will, they shaped worlds, forged life, and built a cosmos inside the Void itself. And from their union, a third existence was born. Not a fragment of the Dao—but something beyond it. He is the anomaly. The one who should not exist. He does not know the outside universe is dying. He doesn't even know what Dao is. Yet somewhere in his being lies an impossible truth: He is the key to restoring—or ending—all existence. But before he can face the universe… He must first understand what it means to be a God born in nothingness.

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.

Prince Malik was one step away from his ultimate ambition. He had poisoned the politics of his kingdom, secured the loyalty of the army, and was seconds away from overthrowing his brother to seize the throne. He was a master schemer, a ruthless tyrant in the making, and he was finally going to win. But the moment he opened the doors to the Throne Room, he didn't find his crown. He found a battlefield. Transmigrated into the final battle of another world, Malik wakes up in the body of "Nebras"—the legendary, Awaited Hero destined to save the world from the tyranny of the Supreme Lord. There’s just one problem: Malik is no hero. He is an anti-hero who believes the weak should be ruled by iron and fire. He got killed brutally as he doesn't even know how to use the hero's powers, and to face the greatest villain in such a condition! Death is destined. Now, trapped in a future where the "Hero" Nebras has been dead for a century, Malik is resurrected by a desperate resistance. He is surrounded by the last descendants of "Nebras" and his comrads, a beautiful princess who calls him "Grandfather," and a suspicious Vizier who watches his every move. Worse yet, the Supreme Lord—an entity so terrifying that he killed him before—is still ruling the world. Forced to play the role of the messiah to survive, Malik must use his ruthless cunning and manipulative nature to lead a rebellion he doesn't believe in. But can another tyrant save the world? Or will he end up becoming a greater tyrant than the one he was summoned to destroy? "I don't care about your freedom. I just want to survive and find a way back to my throne. But if I have to conquer this world to do it... so be it."

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!

But… What was happening with the environment? Why did the mana suddenly recover on this Green Planet? And why did those magic beasts also appear? Riya: ???

She would use her runes to make a better life while watching the world recover from the destruction. Unfortunately, things were not so simple. Her best friend’s brother suddenly locked his attention on her. “Ah, ah, ah, you don't have to mind me….” “The runes you make are really interesting. Can you show me more?” The man smiled and stepped closer. “I…I can, but can you please not come too close?!” Riya just wanted to meditate silently, so how did she suddenly attract this big boss’s attention? ...

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."

“Life is a banquet, and I was the only one on the menu.” Kaizen’s world didn’t end with a bang. It ended with the sound of a rope tightening. After uncovering his mother’s affair with his own school bully—a betrayal that drove his father to suicide—Kaizen was left with nothing but mockery, poverty, and a hollow smile. Faith, family, dignity… all devoured long before his death. Then came the so-called Mercy of the Gods. Summoned alongside his classmates to another world by the Goddess Ishtar to stop a world-ending calamity, Kaizen is granted a “Holy Gift” like the others. While heroes receive legendary weapons and divine magic, Kaizen is humiliated once again with the lowest-ranked skill of all: [Gluttony]—a useless hunger in a land of monsters. A curse. A joke. A perfect sacrifice. That is what everyone believes. What neither the heroes nor the Goddess herself realizes is that Kaizen’s hunger is not for food. It is an absence—something that should not exist. A void that does not simply kill, but erases. In a world that expects him to die quietly, Kaizen begins to rise. Each step forward strips something away—from monsters, from heroes… and eventually from the Gods themselves. Ishtar wanted a Hero. Instead, she unleashed something far worse. A mistake that is learning how to eat.

"What happens when your one-night stand plans to become your stepdad?" It's been two weeks since that night, but I still can't forget him. It was so enthralling that the thrill stuck to my bones till now. It weighed on my mind like a dumbbell and cost me my concentration. A man so hot... Ah, how could I forget him? I wanted to see him again. I wanted to feel his warmth, his aggressive arms, and the way he smirked ever so often while I moaned like a messed-up recorder underneath him, sounds he seemed to favor. But it was just a fling between two strangers. No strings attached, and no names involved. I thought I would never see him again, until he showed up in my living room with his arms around my mother. And she said, "Ha-Joon, this is Tae-Hyun, my fiancé. We're getting married in a few days, so get ready." My heart stopped for a moment as my world shook. And then he looked at me, his devilish eyes met mine. I gulped. They were those same eyes that had seen too much of me. He remembered me, that was certain. And judging by the way he smirked at me, he wasn't done with me yet. Just how did that handsome, no, how did that hot man suddenly gain the identity of my stepfather? (A curious naive college student who wanted to have sex for the first time took his first dive into danger, only to find out the tiger he slept with was about to become his family) Note: this isn't an incest story so read the auxiliary chapter to know more before coming to your conclusion.
