"Papa!" I lunged for the door, but Marco, Papa's security chief grabbed me by the waist stopping me from going in. "No, Miss Iris! Don't." Too late. I'd already seen inside. My father, the king of New York's second-largest crime syndicate, Domenico Russo, who’d raised me by himself after Mama died and who had taught me how to stand strong in a world of monsters, was spread out behind his desk in a spreading pool of blood. So much blood. "No, no, no…" I tore out of Marco's grip and fell to Papa's side, my knees snapping on the marble. The blood was hot and foul;soaking through my dress instantly warm and obscene. "Papa, please breathe. Please stay."

The first rule of Duskwind Academy is: never look the Alphas in the eyes. I broke it. Now four of them want me… and everyone else wants me dead. ______ The werewolf world is falling apart. Packs are crumbling under the rule of corrupt elites, and the Moon Goddess has only one last gamble to restore balance: gifting humans with the wolf’s power.

But Duskwind Academy is a battlefield where dominance means everything. And the moment Heidi’s gaze collides with the four untouchable Alpha heirs, everything changes. Why would four Alphas want a nobody like her? Why would they even feel the bond at all? And Heidi? She wasn’t supposed to want them back. Now she’s caught in the deadly pull of four possessive Alphas who refuse to let go. Which Alpha gets the girl? Will she survive the target they've painted on her back? But most especially, will she survive their maddening obsession and rivalry?

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible, drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive, I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro, the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva, is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny, one disastrous choice at a time.

Wait no more, a slow teacher's slow life is not that good anyway... It's okay to imagine yourself as the hero, but have you wondered how hard it is to keep them from doing dumb things? Geez, I am no more a teenager to be doing this much. "You shouldn't have prayed for my will if you were to complain so much, such a pain." - 神様

It wasn't until he met Gu Nian, that he suddenly felt that sleeping was quite enjoyable... He knew that there was someone living in her heart, and even if that person would never come back, all he had to do was to drive that person away and change the tenant in her heart.

What to expect - Multiple different worlds with different power systems and progression methods Lots of comedy and fun sprinkled with romance and tragedy

Elena Thorn never expected to cross paths with the ruthless and cold CEO, Ryan Redland who got rid of her like some nuisance.

Despite the consistent tension, a costly romance simmers. What starts as a reluctant union quickly spirals to something sinister.

Can their bond survive the endless twists of deceit, pride, lust and betrayal? Will this contract be much more costly than they both bargained for?

In a werewolf pack that despised weakness, Aphrodite learned to survive by staying quiet, keeping her head down, and enduring cruelty in silence. The Alpha heirs hated her. The future Beta and Gamma made her life unbearable. When she finally breaks and seeks freedom at the Moon Goddess temple, she does not find release. She finds truth. Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate. The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all. As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path. Love does not come in one form. Neither does power. In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected. Not a queen. But the axis upon which the world turns.

Dr. Mara Chen saved lives with her bare hands. She stitched wounds by candlelight, rationed medicine no one else could source, and became the beating heart of Refuge Sigma — the last organized shelter standing after the dead began to walk. It got her killed. Her husband and best friend, consumed by a jealousy she never saw coming, fabricated evidence that she was hoarding medicine and selling it to rival factions. The shelter voted to banish her. She was shoved through the gates at dusk, into a street thick with the dead, and no one came back for her. When Mara opens her eyes again, she is three months in the past, lying in her own bed, the world still normal, her husband sleeping beside her like he didn't just sentence her to death. She is also, impossibly, healed. And something inside her has shifted — something that hums when the dead are near, something that lets her touch a wound and watch it close, something that lets her hear a zombie's presence before it rounds the corner. The bites didn't just kill her. They rewired her. This time, Mara isn't building someone else's haven. She's building her own. And the betrayers who fed her to the dead have no idea that the woman they destroyed remembers everything. But there's one complication she cannot explain: a man named Zane Holloway — quiet, dangerous, and inexplicably devoted — keeps appearing at her side. She saved his life in her first timeline. He shouldn't know her yet. He shouldn't even be in this city. So why does he look at her like she's the only solid thing left in a world already beginning to crack?

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan.

What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away?

[Torture Tang San] + [Funny] + [Relax] + [All Collected] Ye Yin woke up and saw he transmigrated to Douluo. Just when he thought he has to suck up to that bastard, his system arrived. From that day the sarcastic god of Douluo rose. “Tang San, such dedication to your father! Oh, I almost forgot - I have some leftover food here that I was saving for the dogs, but you seem like you could use a meal.” “Xiao Wu, spicy rabbits are really tasty, want to try?” “Yu Xiaogang, you said there are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters. What’s your situation?” Ye Yin traveled through the Douluo Continent to obtain the resentment value system. As long as he makes people feel resentful, he can become stronger.
