[Warning: Mature Content 18+] The dark look in his Hades' eyes caused my body to tingle. For the first time in my life, I felt seen and wanted. "Leave now if you don't want this" there was a rough edge to his tone but there was something else. Desire. Instead of doing what he asked, I took a step closer to him...... Born a slave, Iris has known only cruelty from wolf to wolf, mocked by her fellow humans and hunted by the pack. When a prank drags her into the sacred mating ritual, she stumbles into the center of the circle and everything breaks: the feared Alpha Warrior, Hades, names her in front of the entire kingdom. A human. His mate. Claimed by a man no one dared to cross, the Cursed alpha and the King's blade. Iris is pulled into a world of iron law, whispered curses, and bitter enemies. Hades is a storm, silent, brutal, and bound by a curse that has killed every woman he chose as his mate. As enemies close in and betrayals surface, Iris discovers a power she never knew she had and a truth that could topple kings: she is no ordinary slave. She is the key to breaking the curse and when others find out who she truly is, she becomes a target. Her inner power reveals her as the Ultimate wolf queen and she fights beside Hades conquering their enemies. They end years of human slavery. Love forged in blood becomes war. Allies gather, loyalties shatter, and in the roar of battle Iris must choose; stay hidden as the mate of a Cursed alpha or rise as the wolf queen who will remake the world.

I died on the battlefield with a bullet in my lungs, only to wake up strapped to a freezing metal table with a fanatic priest aiming a rusted scalpel squarely at my manhood. Apparently, I had transmigrated into the world of "Hunter Odyssey", a trashy modern fantasy novel I read during my last military deployment. Worse? I was not the protagonist. I was Draven Mordis, a disposable orphan extra captured by a dark cult, destined to be castrated and turned into a brainwashed, lobotomized pawn in the prologue. Meanwhile, the actual "Hero" of this world, Neville Hennesy, is a naive, self-righteous idiot. I am a Commander. I do not play games. War is about efficiency, survival, and eliminating threats permanently. Just as the cultist's blade descends to claim my future, a translucent blue screen shatters the darkness.

[WARNING: Host 'Ryker' Compatibility detected at 0.00%.] ​“A zero? Then what am I supposed to do when the world ends?” “Die, I suppose.” ​The System branded Ryker as absolute trash. But a 0.00% compatibility didn't mean he was weak it just meant he wasn’t meant to play this game as a human. ​To survive the initial slaughter, Ryker steals the persona of his charismatic best friend, wearing his kindness like a mask. It fools everyone except ...Cassian ,his friend's legendary older brother. One of the wealthiest, most stunningly beautiful elites in the city, Cassian has a magnetic aura that effortlessly draws the world to him. ​But Cassian is brilliant at reading people. The moment he catches a glitch in Ryker's stolen warmth, a disturbing suspicion takes root. Sensing an unexplainable, hidden evil, Cassian grows wary of the boy who shouldn't even be alive. Yet, the closer Cassian tries to look through the mask, the deeper Ryker traps him in a web of dark, toxic obsession. ​Let the humans fight for their levels. Ryker’s true evolution only triggers once his heart stops beating. He will mimic the living, command the dead, and rewrite the rules of the game from his throne. ​The human era is over. Let the Evolution begin.

The beginning of the apocalypse brought chaos and disaster to humanity. It tore away the mask of society and revealed the cruelty hiding beneath. Ivy Ravencroft experienced it all firsthand. Her family was unfair and cruel, and they abused her so badly that she went blind. Her lover died trying to protect her, and she spent the next five years struggling to survive, until she finally died in the apocalypse. But then, Ivy woke up again, reborn in the first year of the apocalypse. At first, she felt hopeless.

"What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! ....................................................... With the supplies, picking a superpower and a safe zone superpower, Ivy built her own residential area. She gained Kindness Energy and multiplied supplies with the help of Temporal Storage. While other bases struggled to make a simple house, she used her golden finger to make luxurious buildings and rent them out, becoming the big shot in the apocalypse.

When he enters the prestigious Black Meadows Academy, Caesar is thrust into conspiracies older than empires, evils that wear human faces, and secrets powerful enough to topple gods themselves.

This is a world of mysteries.

Male MC| No-Harem| No Yuri| No Yaoi| No NTR [WARNING: This book contains rape, torture, and murder. However, the MC never violates or rapes women; in fact, he despises such acts.] ____________________ ____________________ “…Pathetic.” “Look at you. Crawling. Bleeding. Powerless.” “Same damn excuses, just like back then.” “Still so ready to give up.” “Those bullshit feelings made you weak.” “Have you forgotten your vow?” “The promise you swore in blood.” “If you're really him... then stand.” “Show them who you are.” “Rise—” “Let the darkness in once again.” --- In the quiet town of Velhart, Kael is mocked as the weakest adventurer. No one suspects the truth. Behind tired eyes and a dull smile lies a man with a past soaked in blood — a nightmare no one could survive and stay sane. An assassin who walked through hell itself. Now, he hides behind a smile in a town that scorns him. But he hasn’t changed completely. He still remembers. He still hunts. And in the silence, evil men still die. These days, he only seeks peace… and maybe, one day, love. But fate wasn't so kind. Forced into an arranged marriage with Seraphina, the cold and commanding Captain of the Knight Order, Kael expected nothing — and got even less. She despised him. Saw him as worthless. But her hatred… didn’t break him. It changed him. Not with kindness. Not with warmth. But through her rejection, her silence, her presence — she unknowingly gave him a reason to stay. After their marriage, he barely spoke. Silent. Distant. But now… he enjoys pushing her buttons. Teasing her with lazy smiles and harmless jests. Never realizing when the lines between amusement and affection began to blur. And for the first time in his life… Kael wanted something more. A peaceful life. A family. A future without blades. But peace doesn’t mean mercy. Not for people like him. Because the world never forgets monsters. But when Seraphina finally uncovers the truth — when she realizes the man she vowed to arrest is the same one she’s come to care for — what will she choose? Her unshakable duty… Or the husband she was never meant to love? And when swords are drawn and the final truth is laid bare — will love be enough to bridge the chasm between an assassin’s sins and a knight’s sacred oath? Now, as shadows stir and blood calls to blood, the past claws its way back from the grave. The man he tried to leave behind — the legend spoken only in fear — is awakening once again. Because the darkness never lets go. --- A/N: Don’t expect everything right away. This is a slow build, Volume 01 will be a mix of their complex relationship and a good number of fights. Assassination? Obviously. If you're patient, the fall… and the rise… will be worth it. The story takes place three years after their marriage. I also want to make it clear that MC isn't overpowered yet. He's strong, but there are still many characters who are stronger than him. It will take time before he truly becomes overpowered. Also, your feedback means a lot as this is my first book. It tells me someone’s actually reading. And that alone keeps me going. So please, don’t hold back—leave a comment and share your thoughts. Thank you. ____________________ ____________________ Update Schedule: Every Week 11:00 PM GMT (+6) (Saturday) 01:00 AM GMT (+8) (Sunday) Per Chapter Length: 1300-6000 words.

Rim Young has a problem: he's hopelessly, irreversibly obsessed with S-Class Esper Wi Hajoon—the villain of the century. The kind of ridiculously hot, walking red flag who makes normal people run for the hills. Rim Young? He runs straight into the knife. After suddenly migrating into the novel where his favorite villain is real and breathing the same air, Rim Young's fictional crush metastasizes into a full-blown, life-ruining obsession. He's blind to every warning sign. The knife at his throat? Romantic. Being treated like garbage? Just a villain's love language. The villain calling the bed “their place to talk”? Rim Young volunteers. Honestly… how much love-blindness is biologically possible? (Asking for himself. Definitely himself.) But he also has a mission: ensure the main character and the male lead survive and reach their happy ending. Unsurprisingly, Wi Hajoon is the biggest obstacle to that route and Rim Young has to oppose him.
