Shoved into the backseat of his father's car right after graduation, Riley Hale ended up marching toward a company building with a bagged lunch and a pen. Still in his toga, the fresh graduate never thought he’d land in the office of the continent’s top lizard, err, dragon, as his aide. And that would’ve driven any person wishing for a corporate career to tears. After all, who wouldn’t want to serve the fastest ticket up the corporate ladder: Kael Dravaryn, the infamously elegant, unhinged, and extremely overpowered Dragon Lord of the continent? Well, that would be Riley. The same Riley who didn’t expect to spend his days dodging fireballs, dressing his boss in robes more complicated than dark magic, and serving as a literal target during morning sparring. Now trapped in a job he never truly agreed to, the hardworking aide decided to hold out until it was time for his glorious resignation. But leaving a dragon’s clutches could never be easy, especially one with elemental mastery and a finger worth a private army. Yet, as Riley, who longs to quit, attempts to navigate ancient politics, wyvern threats, and other accidents (many of which are definitely not his fault), he might just hallucinate himself into seeing something beneath his boss’s arrogance and molten glares. Maybe he’d actually care if Riley got turned to ash.

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

Obsession is no longer one-sided pain, possession, and desire blur the line between salvation and ruin. Two hearts shattered, two souls desperate, two bodies craving and cursing each other. Hatred turns intimate. Violence turns protective. Control turns possessive. To understand why every glance between them is now laced with suspicion and pain… you need to witness the betrayal that was never truly theirs. Begin with the first part: "She Ruled Until She Became Mine". https://www.webnovel.com/book/34583507808506505?utm_identity=author&utm_entry=inkstone&utm_guid=4504932728&utm_platform=cl

Rejected under the moon. Claimed by a king born of shadows. And caught between two destinies that want her blood. On the night meant to save her life, Elaine is publicly rejected by the Alpha’s son—her supposed fated mate. Labeled wolfless, weak, and unworthy, she is humiliated before her entire pack as the bond snaps and agony tears through her soul. But the Moon Goddess does not abandon her. Her pain summons something older… darker… far more powerful. When a roar shakes the forest and the air splits with ancient magic, the Mooncrest pack collapses in terror. From the shadows steps the Lycan King—the ruthless ruler feared across the realm, a man whispered to be a monster in human skin. And he came for her. With a single touch, he lifts Elaine from the ashes of her rejection. With a single command, he claims what the pack tried to destroy. “From this moment, she belongs to me.” Dragged into a world of court intrigue, blood feuds, and deadly secrets, Elaine soon discovers three terrifying truths: • She is not wolfless. Something inside her is awakening. • Her rejection was not an accident—it was planned. • And the Lycan King didn’t just claim her… he might need her. But danger hunts her at every turn. The packs want her dead. The king’s enemies want his throne. And fate wants a debt repaid in blood. With a power she cannot control and a king she cannot resist, Elaine must choose: Run from the destiny that shattered her… or rise as the queen destined to rewrite the laws of their world. One rejection changed her life. One king will change her fate.

Salin just wanted to survive. Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone. Until Salin. One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse: “Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.” Salin agreed. Because he had to. But also... because he wanted to. Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart. Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again. Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure. And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense. Addictive. Overwhelming. The problem? Neither of them knew how to stop. What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger. ~ Mature Content Warning: This story explores psychological trauma, themes related to organized crime, healing, intense romance, and therapy.

Leo had a problem. Don't be like Leo! It wasn't that he was poor. It wasn't that he was unlucky. It was that he had been cursed, or blessed by the Accidental Tycoon System. The rules were deceptively simple. Any money he lost on an investment would be returned to him, doubled. His life's new mission was crystal clear. He had to go bankrupt. In a high-tech world of S-Rank Heroes, magic, and newly-contacted alien civilizations, this should have been the easiest thing to achieve in the galaxy. He just had to become the biggest, most spectacular loser the universe had ever seen. So, he tried. Oh, how he tried... He threw billions at publishing a dungeon guide written by a 10-year-old. The maps were in crayon, and it listed the final boss as a Big Grumpy Badger. [Breaking: New S-Rank dungeon called 'The Whispering Labyrinth' appears! All high-tech mapping drones fail. A lost F-Rank porter used the crayon guide... and it's 100% accurate. The final boss is a 50-foot divine badger. The Galactic Union has declared the guide a 'holy text' for exploration!] He bought the galaxy's most useless moon, planning to build a 'Museum of Paint'. [Alert: Ancient magical ley-lines discovered under the moon's surface! It's the only place in the universe that can safely grow the 'Star-Lotus,' the key ingredient for immortality!] To the Intergalactic Hero's Guild, the Magic Academies, and the Alien Federations, Leo was the god of investment whose every move was like 5D chess that ordinary people couldn't understand. Heroes would soar with his sponsorship. Alien emperors offered him their daughters' hands in marriage for a single 'tip'. But Leo just stared at his bank account, which now displayed his wealth that he couldn't use on himself, with tears streaming down his face. "Please," he cried, "I'm trying to fail! Why won't you just let me be poor?!"

Yuji woke to find himself in the Naruto world (AU), in Sunagakure, the most reckless and short-sighted of the Five Great Nations. The Second Shinobi World War had ended, but the Hidden Sand had never truly recovered. Talent was scarce. Resources were depleted. The village was trapped in a slow decline, drifting without direction. When Yuji saw the state of Sunagakure, he understood one thing: if nothing changed, it would continue to fall behind. But before any grand plans could begin, there was one critical step. He had to bring Sasori of the Red Sand, still young, not yet consumed by rebellion, onto his side. Only then could the desert truly rise. ... Og raw name: Naruto: Reshape the Ninja World with the Scorpion

Fifty years ago, the first Abyss opened in the United States. Then the rest of the world followed. Those who survived its depths returned changed. They became the Descenders—humans who awakened Retsu, a foreign energy carried by the monsters below. Five colors. Five paths. Five Threads. Five kinds of power that reshaped the world itself. Jin returned without one. No Thread. No power. No future. Only a body that leaks Retsu. Something else bound itself to him. A system. It gave him a single command: Kill one thousand monsters. And every creature he kills brings him closer to death. He obeyed—until the cost took someone he couldn’t afford to lose. So he walked away from the Abyss. From the fight. From the fate waiting for him below. Now he enters the strongest academy in the world, hoping to live what remains of his life as an ordinary student. But the Abyss does not forget those who return from it. And the system inside him was never meant to create someone like him. Will Jin accept dying as a pawn in a game he never chose— or become the Threadless Sovereign?

Soren transmigrated into Lover’s Labyrinth, a dating sim, not as a protagonist, but as a side character. That should have been fine. But instead, he awakened the Perverted Harem System, which gave shameless quests so absurd that even thinking about them made him seethe in anger. “This is a dating sim, not a pornhwa,” he roared in rage. From academy life to dungeon trials, his peaceful plan began to collapse as the system dragged him into chaos, embarrassment, and dangerously effective “accidental” progress. If he wanted to survive one event after another, he had to complete indecent missions without getting himself killed or exposed, all while simultaneously building a perverted harem of heroines far stronger than him. Surely… nothing could go wrong. Right? ***

Verc lived a quiet, meaningless life as an office worker, counting days rather than living them. When he casually wished for excitement, the world answered with steel, headlights, and death. He awakens reborn in a pitch-black cave as something no longer human—but a vampire demon. Guided by nothing, Verc learns a simple truth of his new existence: consume, evolve, rule. By drinking the blood of others, he can steal their abilities, physical traits, and powers, growing stronger with every kill. Starting from the depths of darkness, Verc claws his way upward—hunting monsters, crushing goblins, and uncovering a brutal world ruled by strength alone. As his power grows, so does his ambition. Survival turns into domination, and domination into the rise of a new Demon King. In a world where blood is currency and mercy is weakness, Verc will carve his throne one bite at a time.

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.
