After rebirth, there was no need for hesitation—if the younger generation wouldn’t agree, he would go straight to the older one. With memories of the future in hand, wealth and women were never going to be scarce. Thus, after being reborn, he set himself a modest goal: first, become the richest man alive.

After getting dumped by his longtime girlfriend outside the University of California campus, Jason thinks life can't get any worse—until a mysterious voice echoes in his mind: "Congratulations! You’ve activated the Simp System!" Suddenly, Jason gains access to trillions in funds, but there's a ridiculous catch: every dollar he spends must go toward earning the affection of a beautiful woman. Lucas is outraged. Why should he degrade himself now that he’s essentially a walking hedge fund with legs? So, he rebels. He buys a Beverly Hills mansion, a Bugatti for each day of the week, a yacht the size of a football field, and even a retired space shuttle—all for himself. And then... the system notifies him: “+10 Favorability from Emma! +20 from Jessica! +35 from your ex!” Wait, what?! He hasn’t licked a single boot—yet the women around him are falling faster than stock prices in a crash. With charm he never meant to use and money he doesn’t know how to spend fast enough, Jason embarks on a journey of wealth, revenge, and unexpected romance—all while flipping the bird to the system that wanted him to grovel.

Leo is no longer the distant colleague; he’s a shy, frilled-apron-clad "good boy" who trembles at her touch and lives for her praise.

In this empire of silk and steel, she doesn’t just want the crown—she wants the absolute, blushing surrender of the man who once ignored her. He was her silent longing. Now, he’s her favorite plaything.

[Active] Patreon Exclusive: Coming Soon! After a sudden death at school, Yuto is reincarnated as a Devil under Rias Gremory, but unlike the others, he awakens a magic system no one can understand.

My name is Shay. Just Shay. Every morning at five, I kick off my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast. Then comes the routine brushing session where I make it a point to avoid eye contact with the damn bogey in the mirror. Typical, right? I’ve got a roommate—a werewolf. We’re best friends and classmates, tackling school like it’s any normal day. After classes, I head to my job as a bartender at a nearby pub. It’s a cozy spot, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Yep, vampires and shapeshifters have their pint nights too. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. Life was pretty standard, aside from the supernatural quirks, until it wasn’t. The peace of the night shattered, the Fifth King is gearing up for war—or maybe world domination—and somewhere along the way, logic took a vacation. Now, here I am, smack in the middle of this glorious mess, trying to figure out how I went from a normal guy to being tangled in what feels like the prelude to a world-ending saga.

RE-EDITING IN PROGRESS (Kindly bear with this little author) : Mature content R-18+ ★★★★★ "Then why is Miss Feng here?" "Since you refused my first offer, I have a new proposition for you?" Holding his gaze, Feng Tian stood, taking each step slowly towards him before proceeding to lean on the table in front of him. "I. Want. You. To. Be. My. Man." He was her redemption and she was his vixen, they couldn't be more perfect for each other. Five years ago, Chun Huan watched powerlessly as her whole life was being torn apart, she then swore before the heavens to pay back those who took everything from her in two folds.

Fate, however being fate, has a different plan in place. In exchange for her new life, not only must she bring retribution upon the evildoers and set everything back in place, but she is also bound by an unspoken debt to protect the man whose selfless act towards her years ago came at a devastating cost. Determined to shield him from the dangers lurking in her shadow, Feng Tian devises an unconventional plan: to make him her man. What begins as a calculated strategy to keep him close quickly spirals into something far more intense. As their fates intertwine, their complex web which had already being intertwined began to grow stronger. But the path to redemption is never easy and as Feng Tian edges closer to reclaiming what was stolen from her and navigates her new life, she faces one question that could change everything: Can she truly have it all—revenge, power, and love—or will her pursuit of justice destroy everything she’s fought to reclaim? ★★★★ Follow me on social media.

"It would be better to die than live such a fucked up life." Xie Fang thought death would finally end the torture he had suffered for years. Instead, he woke up in the same rotten room—facing a cold system that called itself the Protector of the Universe. This time, he was given a choice. The "things" that tortured him were intruders—beings from other worlds that should not exist. They broke the rules of reality and fed on people like him. To erase them, the Protector offered Xie Fang a contract: travel through different worlds, take on new bodies, and hunt down the intruders hiding among humans. In return, he would get his revenge and get any one of his wish fulfilled. Xie Fang agreed without hesitation. World after world, he completed his missions with a calm mind and sharp intelligence. He learned how to play his roles perfectly, how to deceive others, and how to kill without being seen. What Xie Fang didn’t know was that someone had been watching him from the very beginning. "I'll find you," a voice whispered. "No matter the world. No matter the life." Across every world, the same presence appeared—dangerous, possessive, and terrifyingly familiar. It helped him when it pleased. It cornered him when it wanted. No matter how far Xie Fang ran, it was always there, as if he had never been allowed to leave. The darkness following him does not want to destroy him. It wants to claim him. As Xie Fang uncovers the truth behind the intruders, the system, and his own past, he realizes his revenge is only the beginning. In a game of lies and survival, he must decide how far he is willing to go.

[Warning!] [18+ Smut with Plot!] “Umm… Ca-can you come to my home for dinner? I have something important to talk with you.” James’s friend asked him, voice hesitant, eyes hopeful. Before James could even respond, his friend’s friend cut in sharply, “Oh no, you can’t. Today James is coming with me to a hotel. My aunt asked me to bring him.” “What are you even talking about, boys?” A melodic chorus of voices rang out as a group of class beauties appeared, their heels clicking against the corridor floor, skirts swaying with each confident step. They surrounded him in a fragrant, vibrant cluster, eyes bright and expectant. “Today we’re taking James with us. James, you’re coming with us, right?” James, the unwilling center of the storm, could only sigh deeply, shoulders slumping under the weight of their eager gazes. “I’ll see,” he muttered. His vague answer only fueled their persistence. The girls pressed closer, voices overlapping in sweet, insistent pleas, each one determined to pull him their way. James pinched the bridge of his nose, inwardly groaning as he complained to his system. 'Hey, can’t you calm this Breeding Bull Aura a little?' The system’s reply came instantly, flat and unchanging as always. [Sorry, host, but I can’t do that. As the host of the Breeding Bull God System, it is mandatory to keep this ability active.] 'Ugh.' James let out a low, frustrated groan at the familiar response. No matter how many times he asked, the answer never changed. Yet he couldn’t deny its terrifying effectiveness. 'Haah… looks like tonight won’t be a night of loneliness either.' The thought brought a weary mix of resignation and reluctant anticipation. His mind drifted toward the possibilities ahead—whose house, whose arms—while the clamor of invitations continued swirling around him. After all, he still needed the money for his mother’s hospital fees. Though with this system, he knew he could do far more than simply pay the bills… he could make her truly better. 'Haah… well, let’s just do it for Mother.' With that quiet resolve settling in his chest, James began weighing his choices, even as the persistent voices around him grew only more eager, refusing to let him slip away.

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

Amara Piers is living the dream everyone double-taps on Instagram. For ten years, Sebastian Creed hasn’t just been her husband; he’s been her entire world. As the charismatic CEO of a global empire, Sebastian is the man who has everything, yet he acts as if Amara is his only prize. The handwritten morning notes, the spontaneous anniversary trips to Paris, the way he looks at her as if she’s the only woman in the room—it was the "perfect" marriage. Or so she thought. The facade doesn’t crack; it shatters. On a mundane Thursday morning, a stranger delivers a sentence that turns Amara’s fairy tale into a psychological horror story: “Ma’am, I’m sorry... but your marriage certificate and your child’s adoption papers are both fake.” In one heartbeat, Amara realizes she isn’t a wife, and she might not legally be a mother. The man she worshipped hasn’t just been keeping secrets; he’s been orchestrating a decade-long performance. As the walls of her high-end life close in, Amara must face a terrifying reality: Sebastian Creed didn't marry her because he loved her. He "captured" her. Now, the woman who was once his greatest treasure is becoming his greatest threat. To reclaim her life and walk away from her husband's child, Amara must disappear from a man who has the resources to find anyone, anywhere. But how do you run from a man who knows your every thought before you even think it? She was the woman he claimed to love. Now, she’s the one woman he can’t be allowed to keep.

TRIBULATION WEALTH SYSTEM K I N G O F T H E M U L T I V E R S E Complete Novel Synopsis Genre: System Fiction · Cultivation · Billionaire Heir · Black Technology Dream World · Time Travel · Ancient Civilisations · Multiverse Sovereignty 500 Chapters · 10 Arcs · Oriented toward an Eternal, Righteous, and Benevolent Creator THE LOGLINE A nameless orphan, raised on a dying dock, spends twenty-one years in poverty and humiliation — until the universe opens a Ledger and reveals that it has been counting every wound. What follows is not revenge. It is restoration. And it goes all the way to the Throne of the Multiverse. THE FULL SYNOPSIS THE WORLD AND ITS WOUND The story begins in the present day, in a coastal city that belongs to everyone and, in all the ways that matter, belongs to no one who was born without money. The waterfront district is a place of working-class dignity under permanent financial siege — a neighbourhood that should be vibrant and is instead merely surviving, not from any natural deficiency but from the specific, sustained effort of commercial interests that find it convenient to keep certain populations exactly where they are. Into this city, on a night with no ceremony and no witnesses, a child was placed in a fish crate by the only person who loved him enough to hide him. That person was Sera Crestfall — last heir of the world's most powerful dynasty, holder of a two-hundred-trillion-dollar fortune, and a woman who had spent eleven years preparing for the morning she would not live to see. She had identified the people who intended to stop her son from becoming what he was meant to be. She had protected him the only way available: by making him invisible, tucking him into the most ordinary, unremarkable corner of the world, and trusting that the universe would find him when the time was right. The universe was patient. It found him at twenty-one. THE PROTAGONIST — KAI CRESTFALL Kai does not have a last name when the story begins. He has a first name given to him informally by dock workers, a notebook full of careful arithmetic, a jacket worn smooth in the pockets, and seven years of experience loading cargo on the North Dock. He is methodical, quiet, and possessed of the specific, unbroken quality that long adversity produces in people who refuse to let adversity define them. He is not bitter. This is the extraordinary thing about him. He has been systematically wronged — his education blocked by a board member whose signature he can produce; his wages skimmed by a foreman whose fraud he has documented in detail; his district's community infrastructure redirected by a commercial trust that benefits from the dock district remaining under-resourced. He has kept records of all of it. Not from a plan for revenge. From the fundamental conviction, never articulated but never abandoned, that accurate records are a form of dignity when dignity is the only resource left. On the night of his twenty-first birthday, eating cold noodles alone, he discovers that someone else has been keeping records too. The universe itself. And that the account, which has been running since before he was born, has now opened. THE TRIBULATION WEALTH SYSTEM — THE COVENANT ENGINE The Tribulation Wealth System is not a game and not a dream. It is an ancient covenant-engine, built by the first King of the Multiverse ten thousand years ago, designed to find and prepare his successor. It activates once per generation, in the one person whose bloodline qualifies and whose character — tested under real conditions, without their knowledge, over the full course of their formation — meets the standard. It has been waiting for Kai for twenty-one years. It awarded him forty-one Tribulation Points in retrospect on the night it activated, acknowledging two decades of endurance it had been silently counting. The System operates through four interconnected mechanisms. The Daily Login delivers escalating gifts — cultivation techni

(A/N: Their relationship dynamic progresses and doesn't stay exactly like it is at the start (The one-sided love doesn't last long). Pacing is also relatively fast at the start, but slows down in the future in romance arcs.) In his old life, he was an assassin, invisible, efficient, and utterly alone. His only escape came from the pages of a fantasy novel, Crown of Thorns, and the character no one else seemed to understand: Lady Evelina D’Arclight, the proud and brilliant villainess fated to lose everything. After his death, he wakes up inside that very story, not as a hero, but as Cael Arden, a student at Eryndor Royal Academy. The world is just as he remembers it, right down to the woman destined to fall. But this time, he’s not a bystander. With a lifetime of deadly skills and the knowledge of what’s to come, Cael sets out to rewrite the story itself, to protect Evelina, rise through the academy’s ruthless hierarchy, and change a fate written in stone. As alliances form and secrets surface, the line between fiction and reality starts to blur. And in a world built on power and prophecy, he’ll prove that even a villainess deserves her happy ending.
