“What are you doing here, you pervert?” she snapped. He blinked, clearly offended.             “Pervert? Can’t I get a better nickname?”             “Mr. Pervert?” Her expression hardened, while Yoongi pouted like a scolded child.      “You followed me, didn’t you?” she accused.                          “No.” She stepped closer.           “So what? You came for my attention? Or to see my skirt fall again? Or my lips on yours?” Her voice lowered dangerously. “Or maybe to tell the shop owner I’m your girlfriend so you get a discount?”     She moved forward. Yoongi moved back.         Until his broad back hit the cold white wall. “N-No…” he stammered.               “Then why are you here?” She slammed her palm beside his head, trapping him.     Update daily don't forget to comment vote and share Love y'all

“Doing the wrong thing for the right reason… never ends well for anyone.” Seven great races ruled the continent of Eldarion. Humans weren’t among them. To the world, mankind was nothing more than background noise, as insignificant as a breath of air, as laughable as a failed joke of creation. A race with no promise. No power. No future. Tyler was born into that world—a world where every “hero of humanity” was fated to fall before they could rise. So he abandoned the path of heroes entirely. He chose the road stained in shadows. He chose the power no sane soul would touch. He chose to become a demon— not for glory, but for survival. His purpose was simple: Ascend as the Demon King. Stand as a monstrous shield when the true invaders finally tear into their continent. And he succeeded. He rose higher, darker, and stronger than any being before him. But power has a price. A price he only understood when it was far too late. For in climbing toward salvation, He became the very abomination he once swore to destroy— The Desecrator. And the world whispered: “There is no lesser or greater evil. There is only evil.” Yet a more profound truth lingered in the dark: “Because sometimes, only one Evil can devour another.” *** Discord - https://discord.gg/4xbt5Nwrtn *** #Yandere #ComplexCharacters #NoHarem #Dark #RareBloodline #Magic #Slowburn #FatedLove #Demons #Dragons #Otherworlders #RunicSorcery #Evil-FL

Sunless was eight years old when Anvil of Valor found him in the outskirts, half-starved and trailing a armored car through three blocks of slum without being detected. The patriarch of Clan Valor saw what he always saw when he looked at people: raw material. Taken through the Gateway into the Dream Realm and raised behind the walls of Bastion, Sunny grew up learning anatomy before arithmetic and kill angles before table manners. Anvil forged him into something quiet and precise, a weapon that could be aimed at a single target and trusted to strike without hesitation. The target was Nephis, daughter of the Immortal Flame. Sent to the Awakened Academy under the guise of an outskirts orphan, Sunny had one mission: ensure Changing Star never returned from the Dream Realm alive. But the Nightmare Spell had a sense of humor, and the Forgotten Shore didn't care about anyone's plans. Survival required cooperation, and cooperation required trust, and somewhere between the labyrinth of crimson coral and the dark sea that swallowed the world each night, the weapon began to wonder whether the hand that forged him had the right to choose where he fell.

A few months later, after grinding his way to the Golden Core realm with his endless resources, Lu You tried placing his own Golden Core into the basin. "Good heavens-so this is how the cauldron is meant to be used? I'm invincible now!"

In the year 1733, the crown prince of England paid a visit to Norway, and fell in love with their only princess. It is love at first sight for both of them, and after several visits, the princess conceives a child without a betrothment even. What else is shame? "BASTARD and ILLEGITIMATE" Those were the first words Reginald heard coming into the world. It was since then he understood he was his mother's plague. After suffering for a long time and denied his human right, Reginald finally becomes the crown prince. But that didn't stop the criticism he gets for being an illegitimate child, his self esteem is lost everyday. Not just criticized, but rejected by his both his paternal and maternal extended family. No one wants a child born out of wedlock, as Reginald was conceived in his mother's womb before she became married to king Jonathan Hanover. The royal court would not accept an illegitimate king as well, especially not one thought to be a bastard. Their lot connive with the Grand duke who wants the throne for his nephew; prince Arthur and Reginald's life becomes threatened by petty looking threats. It turns out the threats on his life were built to look loose and weak, enough to make him put his guard down. He is assassinated a second time. In the bustle, he meets Charlotte Brumble. The ever curious and intriguing apothecary. Charlotte Brumble is a young and aspiring orphan apothecary living with her grandmother in the quiet and poor Ramsbottom. Acquiring her knowledge from her late grandfather who once served in the castle as a professional medical officer, she makes earnings from selling medicine and medical services to the folks of Ramsbottom. Having had a rather unfriendly experience from a young age, Charlotte has been molded into an unfeeling person, and has no time for vain worries except for money of course. She bears the plague of being unfortunate, possessed and crazed as a result of too much knowledge for a girl her calibre. Charlotte meets Reginald unaware of his status, and they bond as friends. Reginald knowing who is responsible for his assassination sets to find evidence and on doing that he returns to the castle and the culprits face justice. Charlotte first welcomed Reginald to her world, then he welcomed her to his. Life in the castle was living on a pedestal, there were a lot of people who needed to be satisfied and they didn't mind eating human flesh and blood to gain that satisfaction. From Reginald's love problem to the reason why her father was framed and kicked out of the castle Charlotte solves as many mysteries as she can. To the admiration of the Grand prince, Reginald's zealot of a brother who just didn't know when to stop. Grand Prince Mason learned something he was not willing to pass by; Charlotte is the only person alive who can carry out the rigid test and prove to everyone that Reginald is his biological brother and the only one fit for the throne. Charlotte would not carry out a test that could cost the extinction of many lives including her's. What if Reginald really is not the king's son? What would befall her and her grandmother who was all she had, or Reginald, his own family, his mother, his sisters...or the Mason whom she was already losing herself to In a world where saving the crown prince could also mean ending him, Charlotte is faced with two options; take the risk or ignore the problems at hand. It would have been an easy one for the old Charlotte; cold, hard hearted and selfish, but surrounded by people she wanted to stay forever after experiencing new loss, Charlotte is at the deep end.

Crown Prince Rain Vale an heir only by title—never by heart. In the kingdom of Silverreach, omegas are meant to serve, not rule. Yet I was born the son of the consort and declared heir at birth, shattering centuries of tradition and igniting hatred in the hearts of my seven alpha brothers. To them, I am not a prince… but the moon's greatest mistake waiting to be corrected. My coming-of-age Howling Ceremony was meant to fix that mistake. A political spectacle designed to bind me to a powerful alpha and quietly strip me of power, ensuring Silverreach returns to its “proper” order. But the Moon has always loved cruel jokes. Instead of a conquering warlord, noble king, or domineering alpha, the bond binds to Caelan Moonfang—the fallen alpha of the Moonfang pack, a crippled Enigma. To my father, the match is an insult. To Caelan’s brother, it is humiliation. To the world, it is proof the Moon has lost its mind. But I knelt anyway and claimed him. Because I, Rain Vale, have never been obedient. And if the kingdoms see a mistake… I will become their worst.

[BL] His Enemy’s Life Became His To Guard Synopsis Seven years ago, Ethan watched his family die in flames—an attack ordered by one name everyone feared: Logan, a ruthless corporate ruler whose power crushed anyone who crossed him. Ethan disappears and rebuilds himself in the shadows, driven by a single purpose—revenge. To get close enough to kill Logan, he becomes his personal bodyguard. He returns under a false identity and infiltrates Logan’s inner circle as his personal bodyguard, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But the longer he works by Logan’s side, the clearer it becomes that Logan’s life is in danger—and that he can trust no one. He begins to realize that Logan isn’t the ruthless monster the rumors described. He’s surrounded by enemies and trapped in a violent power struggle. But how could Ethan believe this when he had seen it with his own eyes—his parents burning, and the person responsible claiming they were carrying out Logan’s orders for failing to uphold a deal? Revenge should have been the only thing on his mind. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the conflicting feelings stirring in his chest. Then came the day Logan appeared before him, bloodied, trembling, and teary-eyed, looking at him with a trust that terrified Ethan. “You’re the only one I can trust to protect me,” Logan whispered, his voice cracking. “Promise me, Ethan… please. Promise you’ll stay by my side!” Ethan’s heart clenched. How could he make such a promise? The very reason he had come was to have his revenge—to kill the man who had destroyed his family. And yet… looking at Logan now, bloodied, trembling, and pleading, something inside him wavered. Could Logan really have killed his parents? Could he trust himself to protect the enemy he had sworn to destroy?
