!MATURE THEMES! After her family is brutally murdered in front of her by the Vampire King, Zyren Blackthorn, for being hunters, Aria is left broken and devastated, desperate for death. Her world is shattered when Zyren, instead of killing her, claims her as his pet, dragging her away from her village into the heart of the central city. As a human slave, she is forced to endure his sadistic desires. Every night, he reminds her of her helplessness, but beneath his cruelty lies an obsession that burns with intensity. Despite her hatred and longing for revenge, Aria’s body betrays her, and she finds herself caught between a dark desire and her desperate need for revenge. Excerpt: Aria’s breath hitched as Zyren’s fingers traced the line of her jaw, his touch colder than ice, yet searing her skin with the promise of more. She should resist, should fight back, but her body betrayed her—shivering, craving the pleasure she knew he could give. “You thought I’d kill you,” Zyren murmured, his voice a dark purr. “But instead, you’ll belong to me. Every part of you will be mine.” Her lips parted to speak, but the words caught in her throat. The memory of her family’s blood staining her hands made her stomach churn as she glared hatefully at him. “Tell me,” he growled, his hands moving lower, pressing against the softness of her skin, “do you still wish to die?” She clenched her fists, tears threatening to spill, but her body trembled under his touch. “I wish for nothing but to be free of you,” she spat, but even as the words left her lips, she felt the hunger in her—a hunger she hated but couldn’t deny as she stared into his red eyes. A need to PRESENT herself to him and have him mount her…body and soul.

Jasmine Towers married billionaire Keith Acland in an arranged marriage meant to benefit two powerful families. There was no love, no romance—and Jasmine accepted it. As the CEO’s wife, she devoted herself to maintaining the perfect image and raising her son to become the rightful heir of the Acland family. Everything collapses when Keith’s former lover returns… with a child she claims is his. Overnight, Jasmine’s position is questioned. Her son’s inheritance is threatened. And the woman who once stood quietly beside her husband is pushed out of her own home. Betrayed by her husband and abandoned by high society, Jasmine is forced into a ruthless battle for survival—where losing means watching her son lose everything. Jasmine must fight to protect her child… and reclaim what was stolen from her.

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. If only she had returned to a time before the apocalypse, she could have gathered food, weapons, and supplies to survive better. Still, she was grateful for one thing: she had kept her special ability, the power to create safe zones. This time, Ivy made a promise. She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "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.

Ghost portals opened all across the world, and getting possessed seemed as common as catching a fever. As such, humanity was forced to live in safe zones that were steadily shrinking day by day. Yet to Lana, nothing was new. She was reborn on the day when the true daughter of the Almond family returned. She watched as Brenda, her murderer from the past life, was pampered by the Almond siblings. “Lana, you should know your place and leave.” Eldest Young Almond ordered with glacial disdain. “A wretch like you never belonged to the Almond Family. Pitiful mutt.” Second Young Master Almond chuckled, his venom-laced words resounding, “And if possible, stop comparing yourself to Brenda. She is a rare awakened Dream Warden, while you... sigh. Marry a beggar, and that would be the grandest achievement in your life.” “I always wondered why a dim-witted person like her ended up as our sister. Sigh... I am concerned that she might perish after being possessed by a roadside ghost.” The Third Young Master derided. For safety and peace, Lana left the Almond family and forged her own empire. Trash? She became a supreme Talisman Practitioner! Marry a beggar? The wealthy heirs in Brookvale lined up to wed her! Die in the hands of a roadside ghost? The specters in the ghost zones trembled upon hearing her name! Poor mutt? Heh! Her business empire earned her billions of dollars every single month! Even her past life’s moonlight was shamelessly flirting with her! Lana never thought that her past life's misery was orchestrated by a schemer, neither she thought that her luck was stolen away by the docile lovable daughter of the Almond family. In this life, she vowed to live a thriving life and protect her luck. She fought off ghosts haunting her world while fighting the mysterious forces. .......................................................................................... Extract “Mister, I feel a connection with you. Would you like to adopt me?” Lana fluttered her eyelashes while gazing at the handsome young man with lustrous black hair. Yet what intoxicated her the most was the radiant purple and gold aura around her past life’s moonlight! So delicious! She longed to devour him whole! “No.” His deep voice reverberated in Lana’s heart, making her freeze for a second. ‘Ah... sure enough... an untouchable flower like him... is out of my league!’ “However... I do need a silver cat.” His words were laced with ambiguity as he stared at her intently, “Especially the dauntless one that loves to sneak into my bed at night and claw my admirers.” Lana •silver cat•: “...” Ugh... no, it’s not me .....................................................................................

In a world shattered by rifts and overrun by monsters, humanity's only hope lies in the summoners – elite warriors who command mythical beasts. They are legends. They are celebrities. They are the strong. On the day of the Talent Awakening Ceremony, sixteen-year-old Godfrey watches in awe as his peers call forth packs of direwolves, mighty hydras, and even legendary dragons. When his own turn comes, he hopes for anything that will lift him from the bottom of society. What awakens is not a beast, but a legacy. Rejected and mocked for manifesting a single, armored knight from a forgotten age, Godfrey is dismissed as a failure. But they are all wrong. He has not summoned a mere soldier, he has awakened the Bloodline of the Ancient Golden Order. While others rely on feral packs and roaring dragons, Godfrey commands the disciplined, peerless might of the Golden Knight-Captains. One knight’s sword moves faster than a dragon’s breath. One archer’s arrow can pierce a hydra’s heart from a thousand paces away. They call his power weak. Soon, they will call it legendary. --------------- Disclaimer: * MC gets strong fast *Powerful cast of MC's knight summons * Progressive fantasy with lots of progression over the course of 300 or so chapters. *High octane battles, with spectacular beast skills *No harem *Each chapter takes me a while. https://discord.com/invite/8Ufe4789YX

Born as the Sixth Prince of the weakest kingdom, Arin Eldoria was destined to live in obscurity. With low talent. With weak strength. With no political backing. Abandoned by the court and exiled to a distant territory, he was meant to fade away from history. But fate had other plans. After awakening memories of his past life, Arin obtained a mysterious power— The Dynasty System. A system that grows stronger not through killing enemies… But through building a bloodline. Every child he fathers brings powerful rewards. Every descendant strengthens his dynasty. Every generation raises his own potential. From a powerless prince to a rising lord. From a forgotten exile to a feared ruler. With loyal subordinates, talented wives, and genius children by his side, Arin begins building an army, a territory, and a legacy that will shake empires. In a world ruled by swords and magic… Where mages command storms, Where grandmasters dominate battlefields, Where politics is deadlier than war— Arin will rise. Not alone. But as the founder of the greatest dynasty in history.

"Though the King may fall, he shall not fade; the Once and Future King shall awaken, and Albion shall rise anew." For centuries, the prophecy was nothing more than legend. A myth whispered in ancient texts. But now, Camelot has returned. Overnight, the great city stands once more, its banners flying high, its knights sworn to a king the world believed was lost to time. Arthuria Pendragon has not come to reclaim a title—she has come to rule. In a world of super-soldiers, gods, and masked vigilantes, the return of Camelot is more than a mystery—it is a challenge to the order of nations. As the UK government scrambles to respond, SHIELD and intelligence agencies worldwide race to uncover the truth. Is this a miracle? A threat? Or the first step toward something far more dangerous? History and legend collide with the modern age. And the world must ask itself: is the prophecy of the Once and Future King a promise… or a warning?

Breaking curses, saving teammates, cooking—doing the most loving things with the most terrifying identity! Itadori, Fushiguro, Nanami, Gojo, Zenin Maki... all the friends who were originally going to disappear or were already gone have been rescued! A different Sukuna begins a different kind of joyful daily life~ --- **Itadori:** Did you know that the amnesiac version of Sukuna is a really nice person! **Gojo:** This Sukuna is really... completely different from the records~ (Quickly turns back to school!) **Everyone else:** Help! This Sukuna is so adorable!! **Sukuna:** Hmm! Today is another day to do my best as the King of Curses! --- **Lightning Protection:** 1. Regarding the lack of a romantic pairing: There is no romance in the main story, but there are some scenes where you can ship couples (although they are fictional). The interactions between all the characters are incredibly heartwarming and sweet (no romantic pairing = you can ship any couple you want). 2. The main character is not Nagato Shinjuku; he appears later in the story (in the Millennium Arc). 3. Maki will occasionally be the author's voice double, and there will be out-of-character moments during these times (apologies to Maki-nee). 4. Sukuna is not related to Sukuna in this book (the relationship was only revealed in the original work after the plot was completed). I was so badly hurt by the original story that I wanted to write a fun and adorable Sukuna character from the living world~

A man who seeks only Happiness and Satisfaction—and the quiet urge to help others. That is what Julius promised his grandmother. But in the chaotic MCU, can he truly achieve it? Read and find out. Non-Harem Lovers stay away, this has a huge one.

Arin has fallen into a world that obeys no rules he has ever known. Magic and mana flow through everything—but their true weight is hidden, and the world punishes those who act blindly. Determined not to repeat the mistakes of his past life, he seeks purpose, power, and understanding in a realm that rewards cunning, patience, and strength of mind. Every encounter is a test. Every choice, a step toward becoming someone he never was—and someone the world may fear. In a place where the line between survival and destruction is razor-thin, Arin must forge himself anew… or be consumed by the unknown.

In a world where the heavens have grown corrupted after wars between gods, immortals, and demons, the universe itself teeters on the brink of chaos. At the heart of this vast cosmos flows the Universe River, a primordial stream connecting all worlds, guarded by the ancient and enigmatic Mother Dragon. Above it, the Universe Tree stretches its roots and branches across multiverses, holding the delicate balance of creation. Its core contains the Supreme Will, the force that prevents universal corruption. Amidst this grand tapestry lies the Mortal Realm, a land of kingdoms, sects, beasts, and early cultivators, where human ambition is constrained by mortality and fragile power. Here begins the story of Li Xian, a young disciple of the modest River-Seeker Sect. Curious, defiant, and unwilling to accept the boundaries of his world, he dreams of venturing beyond the sect to uncover the secrets whispered in the wind, the ruins hidden in the mountains, and the mysteries of the natural and supernatural alike. Li Xian’s journey is not one of instant ascension. His growth is patient, deliberate, and realistic—every step, every trial, every minor victory is earned. From crossing rivers and navigating forests to small skirmishes and disciplined meditation, he learns the rhythm of the world slowly, cultivating not just his body, but his mind and character. Along the way, friendships are forged with companions like the observant Yue Ling and the brash yet loyal Chen Tao, while subtle hints of a larger, hidden universe tease the horizon. In this Mortal Realm saga, power comes gradually, not miraculously. Li Xian will not uncover legendary weapons or ancient secrets in the first chapters. His first taste of cultivation breakthrough comes only after careful persistence, and the path to Mortal Realm mastery will span over a thousand chapters of trials, exploration, and reflection. Kingdoms will rise and fall, sects will flourish and fragment, and the first whispers of the Supreme Will and the Universe River will begin to surface. Path Beyond Heaven is a slow-burn cultivation epic, blending adventure, mystery, and grounded character growth. It traces the journey of a young mortal who, step by careful step, will rise to challenge the boundaries of his world, confront rogue immortals, expand his sect, and one day touch the edges of the cosmic forces that govern all existence.

If someone told Bai Shuo that she would die because of her white lotus sister who she disdained, she would surely make sure they vomit blood.

"A bathhouse? " Curious,she crept closer pushing open the intricately carved wooden door just enough to slip. She caught a glimpse of a tall bare back. Water glided down lean muscles disappearing into the depths of the jadepool. Silver white hair cascaded down his back like a waterfall, framing the sharp angles of his shoulders. Her eyes lit up and she gulped, feeling a bit dizzy from the sight. Bai Shou was sure if not for her fox form, she would be all flushed red already.

Something is moving in the shadows, and it’s always one step ahead. People are dying, each left with a strange, haunting mark—a spiral, three weeping eyes, a six-fingered hand. No one knows what it means, and no one knows who’s behind it. Then the whispers start. Secrets thought buried come crawling back. Lives are shaken. The city itself feels alive with tension, as if every street corner hides a watcher, every message carries a threat. No one is safe. Everyone is just a pawn. And the game has only just begun.

Lena Maren She had just walked off the runway, makeup still clinging to her face like a second skin, when the thought struck her—*I want quiet. I want something real.* No cameras. No spotlight. Just stillness. That night, under silk sheets and city lights, she whispered her wish to the dark... and closed her eyes. She woke up in a forest. Not the type found in perfume ads—this one breathed. Shadows moved without wind, and the trees whispered her name.

“Who is the football GOAT?” A question that has been asked countless times in the last decade. Is it Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi? To be fair, the question actually depended on what one wanted from a player as they were two different people and they played differently from the other. This was also the case with every other legendary player to grace the game. As a diehard fan of the game, Jason Bolu also had someone he thought to be the goat, but unlike most people, he harbored the desire to not only become as great as them, but even greater than any legend that ever graced the game. He wanted to become the Greatest Of All Legends… the GOAL. Unfortunately, fate has never cared about people’s hopes and dreams, and just like every other unfortunate human, she hit him hard across the face with a broken reality and sent him flying in another direction from his goal, yet he didn’t give up and continually persevered but, in the end, he didn’t ever make it. He wasn’t even halfway near his goal. He thought it was over… but it wasn’t. He got another chance at his dreams, and this time he was going to do more than his best to achieve his dream. *disclaimer* There is no system or cheats, just plain hard work and a past life of experience.. Also, despite the use of real-life characters, places and things, this is an artistic creation in which things wouldn't be as they are in real life so don't be surprised at some things that are unrealistic and out of place e.g. exact details, attitude of characters etc. This is a slow-paced novel.
