“I gave you my soul in my last life. In this one, I’ll settle for your crown.” ~ In my first life, I was the devoted Queen. I waited two months for my husband, King Lauren, to return from the front lines—only for him to walk through the palace gates with a beautiful young maiden by his side and a decree in his hand: ‘She would be the new Queen’. And because of that evil beauty he brought to our kingdom, I died a discarded "nobody," executed for a crime I didn't commit. But death didn't take me. It sent me back. I woke up on the morning of his return. The crowds are cheering, the flowers are blooming, and my husband is about to humiliate me in front of the entire kingdom. But he doesn't know I've changed. He doesn't know I've returned with a special skill that makes me the most dangerous woman in the room. Before he can introduce his "New Queen," I hand him the one thing no one in this kingdom has ever dared to ask for: Divorce papers. In our land, a Queen asking for divorce is an abomination punishable by stoning. But Lauren thinks I’m bluffing. He looks me in the eye, tears my petition to shreds, and growls, “You are my wife. I will never stamp those papers.” He thinks he is keeping me trapped. He doesn't realize he has trapped himself in a palace with a woman who knows every one of his secrets—and is prepared to burn his kingdom to the ground just to see him sign his name. My goal is simple; I will make him fall... not in love, but to his knees. Since he spent my first life making me cry. I’ll spend my second making him bleed.

Let's not pretend like we haven't heard this story before. Mana descends upon an unprepared world. Dungeons rupture reality. Monsters pour out. Humanity awakens in response—some with sparks, some with power capable of leveling continents. Aris Ashborne was born into that world. His problem? He was too damn cute to be taken seriously! Media companies treat him like heaven's favourite mascot. Fellow awakened dote on him as if he isn't ranked among the strongest humans alive. Confessions pile up. Stalkers appear. The title "Cutest Awakened" follows him everywhere. No one seems interested in how he earned his S-rank. It's hard to command fear when people are asking what skincare routine you use. Oh well. Being underestimated has its own perks too. Truth is, Aris Ashborne is one of the few people that has transcended the ranking system entirely. He is among the few that could very well rule the world if he wanted to. But for now, he is contempt with being called a cutie. After all, monsters don't always look the part.

Forty years ago, the gates opened—and the world fell into chaos. Abyss creatures poured into cities, and no weapon could stop them. Humanity survived only because of the awakened—individuals granted unique abilities by the System. Kael lost his family to the gates long before he ever awakened. When his time finally comes, the System grants him an ability called Negotiator—a power with no obvious combat value. Pulled beyond the gates and into the Shadow Realm, Kael begins to discover that power doesn’t always come from strength—and that some paths to ascension exist outside the System’s design. In a world ruled by force, Kael chooses a different way to survive.

Don't be fooled by the title. I don't even have an iota of ego. Matter of fact, I'm the most humble man you'll ever meet! Some say I’m also the smartest man you’ll ever meet. I wouldn’t say that myself, of course. That would be arrogant. I merely acknowledge the objective truth. My name is Ziyang, and I'm here to tell you a story. You see that smug bitch holding a dagger to my throat? Well, it had been my humble ambition to take that egotistical, drowning in his own self-importance, arrogant piece of a shitfucker down. Atleast, that's what my original hope was anyway, because apparently the universe has a way of telling you to sit the fuck down when you try jumping too high. Boy, can I not wait to tell you about the clusterfuck I put myself into. So tighten your bootstraps, clutch your snacks, and maybe sign a waiver. What follows is an outrageously adventurous, mildly disastrous, and aggressively entertaining journey.

A century ago, cracks in the ground formed called Fissures opened up and began to leak out otherworldly monsters called Exiles. However, at the same time, strange energy came out from the Fissures, granting people abilities called Skills. Thanks to this, humanity has been able to hold off the Exiles. I, Iason Desier was another person striving to become a Venator, people who specialize at hunting Exiles. However, my entire life would come crashing down after realizing what class I got...

And the boy must become the first in history to do the unthinkable: open the gate instead of guarding it.

DARK ROMANCE DISCLAIMER! This story features a male lead who is far from a gentleman. His love is obsessive, manipulative, possessive, and all-consuming. If you are looking for a fairytale, this isn’t it. As a Mafia romance, this story involves criminal elements and morally grey (or black) actions. You may find certain themes or behaviors difficult; if these tropes are not to your taste, I kindly suggest you skip this one. Includes super explicit steamy scenes (which will be marked with warnings). I welcome constructive critiques, but please keep the comment section respectful. R18 | Reader discretion is heavily advised. Proceed only if you enjoy pure, manipulative dark romance. ~~~~~~ I loathed those dark eyes. Not a day or night passed without them haunting me like restless ghosts on a rampage. Even as I stood there defiantly glaring at him, they seemed to bore into my mind, body, and soul. I hated them. I despised them. "You spoke out of turn, sweetheart." His infuriatingly deep voice shattered the flame igniting in my body. "I don't want you kneeling. I want you standing exactly like this... angry, defiant, and unbroken. So you understand that even at your strongest... you're still mine." "And if I don't want to be? Will you destroy me?" Defiant was my middle name, and I would live up to it or die trying. "That doesn't scare me." A slow smile I knew all too well touched his mouth, but it did not unnerve me one bit. I had seen too much of his ruthlessness to be deterred by that dark, devoted, yet terrifying smirk. "I would destroy the world first. But if it came to you?" He leaned in, his words brushing my ear like a promise and a threat intertwined. "I'd ruin you... and call it mercy." ***** For three years, Isabella was married to one of the richest men in America.

He expected her to come crawling back the moment she faced the cruelty of the real world, a decision that would become his greatest regret.

"You really think you can just hide forever? From them? From me?" "Do you really think we can be together?" she whispered, her voice rougher than she meant. "No. We can't. It just won't work." Zayden tilted his head, his thumb brushing against the frantic pulse under her jaw. "Why?" His voice dropped low, dangerously smooth. "Why can't we make this work, huh?" She swallowed, the movement making her throat press harder against his hand. "Don't forget, You're----" “Say you love me…. Or I’ll fvck that stubbornness right out of you.
