Because of his poverty training, Luke Cruise lived as an ordinary person for the past three years. He had been mocked, belittled, despised by everyone else, and treated like trash. He hid his real identity as an heir of the most powerful family on the planet, his talents, and even his unmatched martial arts skills from everyone, just to blend into a cruel world. But these secrets were never meant to remain hidden. Now he is back. As a Young Master of the Cruise Family, CEO of a multi-billion dollar company, and real boss of the underground world. As he rises, the world will finally understand how terrifyingly powerful he truly is. This is not the story of survival.

A century ago, colossal stone swords descended from the skies, stabbing deep at the heart of twenty-eight cities. Like so began the Sword Trials. Worlds against worlds, species against species, set in a separate, unique, battleground realm that resembled the greatest sword-themed, faction versus faction MMORPG to ever exist. Levels, Legendary Equipment, Hidden Quests, Guilds, Territories, Spawns, NPCs, Sword Skills, Loot that could transcend worlds through a special currency… Only those who can awaken their sword marks would be called Bladeborns, warriors of their race. Armed with Soulbound Swords of varying tiers that decided their ranking in the modern hierarchy, they would fight for the continued existence of their worlds. Ending the battle, however, proved far more difficult than expected. A seemingly unbreakable hundred-year stalemate was reached. The apocalyptic ending eventually faded from everyone’s minds, and being a Bladeborn suddenly turned into a profession. Some even treated the Sword Trials as a mere game. Schools began adding swordsmanship classes as a major subject, and those who excelled beyond their peers at the same high school would be called Sword Prince and Princesses. One such celebrity was Daru Finnley, a young man who had an unusual love for the sword. Named the Fallen Sword Prince after a disastrous awakening ceremony, the label of genius changed into garbage overnight. But his “trash” sword held a secret. And so did his soul… Three worlds WILL fall. #Guildbuilding (In the later chapters)

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.

She doesn’t believe in good people. He doesn’t believe power should define a life. Shen Yiqiao is a corporate fixer trapped by loyalty and blackmail. Lu Wenjing is a doctor who rejected his inheritance for something simpler. They meet while hiding a lie big enough to destroy two empires. And once the truth starts to surface, walking away may no longer be an option.

Her twin sister, Ayla, sent a weird text about a name, and later, she was poisoned a few days before her wedding. Aria decided to replace her at the altar, taking her marriage vows, to get close to the owner of the name sent in her dead sister's text, which belonged to her fiancé and now husband, Kallias Vane. But when he denies everything and decides to join her in her search for the truth to clear his name, it complicates everything. They have to act as a loving married couple to the public for three years, but what happens when it's not an act anymore ?.

“Mommy!! Daddy’s new mate said she’s having a baby. Does that mean he won’t want us anymore?” little Colin cried, clinging to my legs. “Mommy! That rude lady said Daddy doesn’t love us.” my twin Amy whispered, her lips trembling. I looked up from my sobbing children at my Alpha King mate, who had come chasing after them once his so-called mate had hurt them. "She’s pregnant? You told me she was just a fling," I choked. "You and the kids will never lack luxury or comfort," he uttered, refusing to meet my gaze. So that was his excuse? That was his answer to cheating? “You’ve already lost me. Now you’ve lost your children too. We’ll live better without you, and one day you’ll regret losing us.” The moment I said it, his eyes finally met mine, they were wet too. "Alpha King Kash, I reject you!" I hissed. .. Iris thought she had the perfect mate until she caught her Alpha husband cheating. Heartbroken and pregnant, she ran away, hiding in the woods with her unborn pups. Years later, Iris returned to the werewolf world, not as a weak Luna, but as a mother and a woman determined to take her place. But her Alpha had already married his mistress. When he discovered that Iris had left with his children, rage and regret consumed him. Now torn between betrayal and love, Iris faced a choice: protect her babies and destroy the mate who broke her, or risk giving him a second chance.

Raziel died a saint, slaughtered in his own cathedral the moment a Player fell from the sky, labeled his world a "Server," and reduced him to nothing more than a prologue NPC.

On my third wedding anniversary, my husband poisoned me. As I lay dying on the cold restaurant floor, I watched him smile beside my step-sister his mistress since before our wedding day. My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.

"Chu Zhaoyang, what are you doing unbuttoning?" Gu Nian stepped back. Chu Zhaoyang unbuttoned the last button of his shirt, "Sleep." "But it's daytime now, hey... weren't you going to sleep? Let me go first..."

[Contract has been formed with the Elf, Alice.] [You now have access to grant a true name.] [Your slave has passed the requirement to undergo evolution.] ...

The universe hated me so much, it tossed me around, then dumped me straight into the arms of my father’s killer. — I thought I understood monsters. I grew up with them. I survived them. I swore I would kill the one who murdered my father and brothers. But when I finally found him, I failed. Dante Corsetti. Alpha. Mafia boss. The man who destroyed my family and dragged me into his house like a living trophy. He broke me apart until I didn’t know where my rage ended and his cruelty began. He said I was nothing. A prisoner. A reminder of everything he’d lost. A punishment for sins I never committed. Yet the longer I stayed, the more the world I thought I knew cracked open. The secrets about my bloodline, lies my father died with and a supernatural truth I should never have discovered. And in the middle of it all, a mate bond tied me to the monster I hated most. The goddess must be laughing because Dante is not the only one drawn to me. There were two others. Knox, who looked at me like I was the first good thing the goddess ever gave him. Reed, who claimed I was destined for him no matter who he had to fight. Three alphas. One impossible bond. And me, trapped between revenge, desire, and a fate dark enough to break every one of us. WARNING: 18+ Contains dark, and triggering themes some readers might find disturbing.

Aaron Su died at sixty. But only a part of him died. His soul had never been whole to begin with. One quarter of it lived in this world— naïve, emotional, painfully loyal. A man who gave everything and asked for nothing. The remaining three quarters lived on Earth, as Swastik— calm, logical, sharp-minded. A man who believed that life was meant to be enjoyed, not endured. This fracture was never meant to exist. It was born from a mistake made by the world itself. And when Aaron is reborn— on the very day his tragedy once began— the broken pieces finally collide. Thunder crashes. Memories overlap. Reality twists under its own weight. And then— Something goes wrong. Everyone connected to his former life begins to hear Aaron’s inner thoughts. Not his words. His truth. Evelyn Wang. Her family. Those who shaped his fate. They hear everything: His confusion. His detachment. His lingering resentment. And the thoughts he never spoke aloud— even when he was dying for them to be heard. But this time, Aaron does not return seeking revenge. He doesn’t even care enough for that. The hatred bubbling inside him isn’t truly his anymore— it is only the last echo of the quarter-soul that once suffered here. The real him—the three-quarters known as Swastik— wants something entirely different. To live for himself. To grow stronger. To enjoy this life without fear or regret. To gather wealth, power, and resources— for cultivation, for freedom, for choice. Those who hurt him indirectly? He will use them. For money. For influence. For benefits. No guilt. No hesitation. Those who dare hurt him directly? He will crush them instantly— without mercy, without hesitation, without emotion. With his soul incomplete yet stabilizing, the world itself steps forward. As compensation for its error, it grants him a unique existence— An Observer. One who sees loopholes in stories. One who notices contradictions that should not exist. One who fixes only what the world itself cannot. And in apology, the world grants him rewards— once every year. On his birthday. Except… His birthday in this world falls on February 29. A gift that may arrive once every four years— or never at all. Whatever the case— Aaron Su steps forward. Not to love. Not to hate. Not to follow anyone’s script. But to live. Fully. Selfishly. Unrestrained. And anyone who stands in his way… should pray that he never bothers to observe them.

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. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. 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? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

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.
