Irene has never had anyone. No family. No safety net. No one to call when things fall apart, maybe only her best friend June. Just a café job she hates, bills she can barely keep up with and a life she's been holding together alone for as long as she can remember. She wasn't looking for anyone. Then he walked in. Tall. Quiet. The kind of presence that didn't ask for attention but took it anyway. He ordered black coffee, left a twenty pound tip and said her name like it already meant something. She told herself he was just a customer. She almost believed it. Chris was everything she didn't know she needed. Patient. Consistent. The first person who ever made her feel like she didn't have to carry everything alone. And before she knew it Irene wasn't just falling for him-- she was addicted. To his voice. His presence. The way he showed up every single time without being asked. For the first time in her life she let someone in. That was her first mistake. Because the thing about addiction is that it doesn't warn you before it destroys you. Chris had a life she knew nothing about. A world beyond Belfast cafés and late night phone calls and candlelit dinners. A world with temptations she never saw coming. And when the truth finally surfaces Irene is left with nothing but the ruins of the first real thing she ever allowed herself to have. She walks away. Because she has to. Because staying would break what little is left of her. But walking away from Chris is not the same as being free of him. His memory lives in everything. Every song. Every late night. Every cup of coffee she can't drink without thinking of how it all started. She tries to move on. She tries to be okay. And she almost convinces herself that she is. Then he comes back. Changed. Broken. Fighting for her in ways he never did when he had her. Saying everything she needed to hear a year too late. And Irene is faced with the question she's been running from since the day she walked away- Can you forgive someone who shattered the first trust you ever gave away? Or is some damage too deep to come back from? Addicted to Chris is a story about love and betrayal. About the walls we build and the people brave enough to climb them. About learning the difference between someone who wants you and someone who truly chooses you. And about what happens when the one person you tried hardest to forget- refuses to let you go. Will curiosity or caution win? And just how dangerous can obsession get?

She was promised to the crown prince. Destined to become empress. Yet she lived in fear— fear of the saint who would steal her place. The irony? She was the one declared a saint. Venerated in public. Broken in private. Betrayed by her own blood. Used by the temple. Discarded by the crown. In the end, she chose death. But death was not the end. The true saint offered her a second chance— on one condition: Destroy the empire that had devoured them both. This time, she would not be a saint. She would be the empire’s sacred scourge.

In the house, there is an adorably mischievous sweet wife, she is cunning and sly yet delicate. She can be dominant, submissive, or a lolita; adorable, mature, or quirky. She is witty and lively, tearing apart scumbag men and women with ease. The spring breeze gently blows for ten miles, the time is right, and I love you~ When she picked up her intelligence again, she found everything had changed. When she discarded her soft-heartedness, she realized she could no longer be hurt.

Aanya is plotting revenge in a seventeen-step plan she's been refining since her rebirth. She does not have time for a cheerful, talkative monk who asks her every morning if she'd like to do breathing exercises and means it completely sincerely. Tenzin has never met anyone like Aanya. In the monastery, people were either peaceful or working toward peace. Aanya is working toward catastrophic. He is equal parts terrified of her and inexplicably, helplessly fond of her — a feeling he keeps trying to categorise as "compassion for a suffering soul" and which is becoming increasingly unconvincing. Together they are an absolute disaster. And somehow, amid the revenge plots, the fainting spells, the prayer-bead-clutching, the Jaipur socialite drama, the suspicious family secrets, and Tenzin accidentally befriending every single member of Aanya's household staff — they are also, slowly, irrevocably, becoming each other's home.

The world ended in three days. The N-7 virus turned seventy percent of humanity into monsters. The survivors are the cruel, the desperate, the ones who keep breathing when everyone else stops. Stephanie Aiyuna has been hunting for two years. Seventeen names are carved into the stock of her M24 sniper rifle—the people who sold out her military squad and burned her town. Twelve are crossed out. Five remain. At the top: Colonel Ashford, the man who started it all. Reilo Jokka has been dying for eight months. A military injection gave him inhuman speed and strength, but it came with a price: the slow rot, a variant of N-7 eating him from the inside. Doctors gave him six months. He’s still running, still fighting, still hunting the man who ordered the experiment—Ashford—and the brother he lost along the way. They meet at a gas station, both out of fuel and out of time. A deal is struck: help each other find Ashford, and put a bullet in his head together. But Ashford is only a pawn. Behind him stands a rogue scientist with the original N-7, a fanatical order that burns survivors alive, and a weapon that could finish what the virus started. And they all need Stephanie’s blood—because she’s one of the rare few who are naturally immune. From the burning ruins of a slave auction to the frozen dead lands where Titans roam, Stephanie and Reilo fight, bleed, and refuse to let each other die. But as the rot spreads and Ashford’s army closes in, they face an impossible choice: revenge, or a cure that could save everyone—if they’re willing to sacrifice themselves for it.

Being transmigrated wasn't in Reis's bucket list. Being so in an unpredictable world with danger lurking everywhere? Not even in his nightmare journal. So he definitely isn't thrilled when his soul is literally dragged out into a void and forced into a foreign body. Or about the blue screen of doom, trying to convince him that everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. Like hell it was right for him to be in line for the throne. Surely, Reis had run out of luck. But that didn't mean he was foolish enough to play hero. No. Why must he sacrifice his peace for something so foolish? Reis just had to wait. Until the royal family let their guard down, and he had enough money to escape far away. Just enough to escape heaven's eyes. And someone promised to help. Someone who didn't even know how to hold a human right side up. The fearsome guardian, who, for some reason, picked the weakest human to bother. It cost Reis half his mortal soul and a bit more, but what can he do? Escaping the throne is more important than dignity. Once the trouble's off his shoulder, he'd find a peaceful land to settle in and spend the rest of his mortal life lazing away. The perfect escape plan. But how is he supposed to escape from this so-called guardian again, at least before losing himself entirely? Well, not anytime soon. *** Antihero, bitter MC X Villainous, transcend level ML.

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 2 extra chapters And if we win Win-Win T1 this March… I’ll upload 20 EXTRA chapters.

In her past life, he ruined her. In this one, he won’t let her go. In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… until he betrayed her and destroyed her name beyond repair. When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire. But Maximilian never let her go. Even after ascending the throne of a rival kingdom, he pursued her relentlessly... not as a lover, but as a hunter. An enemy king. A shadow that followed her across borders and battlefields. A war she could never escape. Because of him, she lost everything. Her name. Her achievements. And the most unforgivable loss of all... her children. She died without ever understanding why he destroyed her… or why he never stopped. Reincarnated into the modern world as Catherine Preston, she wants only one thing: a quiet life. She has wealth, a powerful family that adores her, and a brilliant mind meant for research, not war. This time, she believes merit will protect her. This time, she believes the world is fairer. She is wrong. Traitors circle her once more—stealing her work, erasing her name, cornering her with smiles and contracts. And just as she stands on the edge of ruin… he appears again. Not as her enemy. Not as a king. But as her savior. “Marry me,” Maximilian Whitmore says calmly. “I’ll give you everything you dream of.” Catherine refuses. She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already. But fate has other plans. A curse. A bond. A shackle she cannot break. The only way to ease the curse… is intimacy with the man she despised. Bound once more to the enemy king of her past life, Catherine must face a terrifying question: Does Maximilian truly not remember what he did… or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes? And when King Dorian returns in this life, offering her peace and safety… Two men. Two pasts. One woman who remembers everything. In a world where names mean power and love is a battlefield, was Maximilian her greatest enemy… or the truth she was never meant to uncover? A reincarnation romance of obsession, betrayal, fate-bound love, and painful second chances. #A heart-throbbing reincarnation romance filled with obsession, power, betrayal, and fate-bound love. #Enemies to lovers. Soul shackles. Overbearing kings. Painful second chances. #Slowburn romance. Update will be once a day and there will be bonus chapters if we reach milestones. Hope you'll join me in this journey.

Christina has spent her life in the shadows of a past she barely remembers. Separated from her father at the age of five under mysterious circumstances, she grows up sharp-tongued, reckless, and brilliantly chaotic—surviving on instinct and unanswered questions. All she knows is that her father was a hero… and that he vanished. Years later, her search leads her to Swellview—and to a hidden lair beneath Junk N’ Stuff. Breaking into the Man Cave is easier than expected, mostly because Schwoz already knows exactly who she is. He’s been waiting. The only problem? Ray Manchester—Captain Man himself—has no idea the girl standing in his lair is his daughter. Christina isn’t impressed by heroes, especially not loud, egotistical ones in red spandex. And Henry Hart—Kid Danger—is everything she can’t stand: righteous, annoying, and always in her way. From their first clash, sparks fly in the form of insults, rivalry, and constant sabotage. They don’t trust each other. They barely tolerate each other. But as Christina gets pulled deeper into the world of heroes, secrets begin to crack. Missions go wrong. Feelings get complicated. And the line between enemy and ally blurs—especially when Henry starts to see past her chaos and Christina realizes that caring might be more dangerous than fighting. With her identity hidden, her father unknowingly training beside her, and her heart caught in a battle she never planned to fight, Christina must decide what she really wants: revenge, answers… or a family she thought she lost forever. Enemies. Chaos. Secrets. And a love that was never supposed to happen.
