Saved By My Step Brother

Waking up in a world where strength is law and weakness is sin, a nameless man begins a journey not to conquer, rule, or ascend—but simply to understand who he is. With no memories and no talent. With nothig but a curse disguised as a blessing and his unshakable will. He is going to keep walking his lonely path—fighting fate, challenging gods, and questioning the meaning of existence itself. If purpose lies beyond the stars, in the void, or in the silence of death—then he will find it, step by step… even if it leads into oblivion. *Release schedule: 2 to 3 chapters daily*

When a princess is kidnapped, Mikey—a completely average civilian with no wants, no needs, and no plan—is forced into heroism by the greatest threat of all: his annoyed mother and the lingering horror of maybe having to visit his grandparents. There’s just one problem. No one knows what the princess looks like. The king is useless. The quest map is from a tailor. And Mikey’s help is what he assumes to be a French-speaking goblin always worried about the wrong thing. Now, alongside the goblin Nickel and a suspiciously friendly witch named Moss, Mikey must cross lawless kingdoms, haunted forests, cursed seas, and actual Hell. All to face the infamous wizard hierarchy: Creepy Wizard Man. Super Evil Wizard Man. Really Evil Wizard Man. Evil Wizard Man. And yes, in that order. But somewhere along the way, people begin to whisper a different name: “The one who tamed the Green, silenced the Purple, shattered the Red, and defied the Black.” And Mikey, the one who never wanted to see his grandparents, has to go whether he likes it or not. __________________________________ “The bitch went and grew wings,” a knight muttered, sword in hand—the only thing between him and a lovely dinner being the overgrown reptile breathing fire in front of him. “Good men die; I choose not to.” — A random (absolute peak) villain

Who is Katz Baldwin? A wandering healer? A rogue sorcerer? A quiet hero in a dying world? No one really knows. But here's the truth: he's the 36th Demon King—the so-called weakest in history. The joke of the underworld. Except... he inherited the forbidden shadow powers of the First Demon King—the legendary God Slayer. So, yeah. Weak is kind of relative. For two thousand years, demons and humans have been at war. Katz? He crossed into enemy territory not with an army, but alone—drawn by a deadly plague that’s tearing through every race: humans, elves, demi-humans. Instead of spreading destruction, he started saving lives. Now they call him a hero. But how long can a Demon King pretend to be a savior? How long before the truth slips through the cracks? He walks the line between light and shadow—and when the mask falls, the world will have to decide: Is he their salvation... or their doom?

In the quiet town of Aokashi, in the fictional country of Hinokuni, spring returns as always—but for Akira Hayasaka, everything feels painfully the same. A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration. She doesn't try to talk to him, impress him, or pretend to be anything. She just… exists. Calmly. Honestly. A chance encounter while saving a stray kitten brings them closer, and Akira discovers a hidden side of her—an anonymous online writer whose words feel too personal, too familiar. Unspoken thoughts. Quiet truths. Things he’s never had the courage to say aloud. As petals fall and seasons change, Akira and Airi slowly begin to understand each other—not through loud declarations or dramatic gestures, but through silence, presence, and the small steps that lead to something more.

With unlikely friends by his side and ancient powers watching, Rai must uncover the truth of his existence. But destiny isn't written in stone—it’s scribbled in chaos.

Yun Lan never believed in fate—until the night she found a wounded man bleeding in the alley.

The girl who became his obsession. Now, he’s back—and he wants one thing: her. Not love. Not gratitude. Possession. He forces her into a marriage she never wanted. He marks her as his, protects her from everyone... but who will protect her from him? She wants to escape. He wants to own her. And the more she resists, the deeper she falls into his twisted world of passion, power, and dangerous love. By the time she realizes she’s falling for him... it might be too late to run. Obsessive love. Forced marriage. A kind girl vs. a dangerous man who would burn the world to keep her. Are you ready to enter a love story that’s as deadly as it is addictive?

Welcome to The Last Step – A Tale of Fate, Power, and the Unforgiven. In a world where magic defines one's worth, three souls walk a path toward an uncertain destiny—each bearing a power that can shape the fate of nations. Lucas, the God’s Chosen Sorcerer, wields divine magic that bends reality itself, blessed by forces beyond mortal comprehension. A shining beacon of hope—or a harbinger of destruction—his path is riddled with expectations he never asked for. Celia, the Queen of Curses, commands a power feared by even the strongest mages. She carries the weight of a past filled with whispers and condemnation, but where others see a curse, she sees the strength to carve her own future. Kaiser, the Unwanted Void, stands apart. Neither blessed nor cursed, he is the anomaly that should not exist. In a world that measures worth by magic, he is a shadow in the light—yet, the abyss within him holds something far greater than mere sorcery. Together, they are bound by fate yet divided by their own battles. As war brews and forgotten gods stir, the lines between hero and villain blur. In the end, their choices will decide more than just their own lives—they will determine the very foundation of their world. This is their journey. This is their Last Step.

“I beg you, Mia. Please tell me that this child is mine,” Henry begged as he looked at the woman holding the little boy in her arms. But, just as he reached forward to hug her— “Dear brother, just what do you think you are doing? Why are you trying to hug my wife and son?” Lucas stepped in between the two with a cheeky smile on his lips. He pointed to the boy and said, “Look carefully; he is my son.” Mia snorted upon hearing the two men fighting over her son. She hugged the little boy and smiled politely, “Last I remember, I was the one who gave birth to him. So carry on with your games, boys.” Mia Wills never knew how feeble life truly was until she lost everything in a matter of just a few hours. Seventy-two hours ago, she was a happily married woman who was about to head for her honeymoon. But seventy-two hours later, she met with her husband’s cold eyes, who asked her to divorce him. An accident ripped Mia’s world apart. Not only did it nearly take her life, it also took away Henry Holman’s memories. Her newly married husband. With more than three years of memories gone, Henry no longer remembered pursuing Mia and marrying her out of love. Instead, he believed the lies of his first love and girlfriend, Jamie Hudson, who spun a story where she was chased away by Mia, who took her place and married Henry by lying to him. And what did Henry do after listening to her lies? He demanded a divorce, chasing Mia away from his life. But how could Mia let go? She believed that as long as she persisted, Henry would remember her one day. But with the continuous torment and humiliation for months, including watching her husband bring his mistress to their wedding house, Mia could no longer hold on. She signed the divorce papers and left. She believed that with the divorce, she and Henry would never cross paths again. That was until Jamie’s callous scheme dragged her back not only in front of Henry but also in the bed of his half brother, Lucas Holman. Lucas Holman, the half brother of her ex-husband, was back in the city and he returned not only to take back what belonged to him but he was there to do it with a bang. And Mia, who was set to forget the night of their entanglement, found herself in another turmoil when Lucas offered a contract to marry her. In exchange, he promised to save her father. The temptation was too strong for Mia to ignore. But as she signed the contract, she swore to never fall for Lucas. But would she be able to keep her feelings at bay when Lucas starts showering her with his undivided attention? Was it truly an act of love or a part of his cruel scheme? Moreover, when a murder case binds Henry, Mia and Lucas together, what kind of secrets will be unravelled? Would they still be sane after the shards of truth pierce them? Or would they lose themselves forever?

With beauty as captivating as a field of lilies, she is the prized daughter of an ambitious father who cares more for his reputation than his children’s happiness. When Álvaro Montenegro, the arrogant heir to the Alpha title, sets his sights on her as his chosen Luna, María Jośe is desperate for a way out. But everything changes when the Moon Goddess answers her prayer in the most unexpected way: María Jośe discovers she is an Omega—wolfless and the lowest rank in the pack. Once held in awe, she is now shunned; a source of shame to her father and a target for ridicule in the pack. As her life turns upside down , María Jośe's hatred for the pack grows. The only solace she finds is in her growing, forbidden bond with Axel Montenegro—Álvaro’s older brother, who has long turned his back on the pack.

Will she give in to the oldest brother who is scared of commitment or the younger one who fiercely seeks redemption? ______ EXCERPT: “Axel, no. We… can’t do this!” I jolted back when he pulled up my skirt. As if to retaliate, Axel grabbed my wrist and yanked my body to his. “We can do whatever I say we can do, María José.” “I’m your brother’s reject. Do you even hear yourself right now? He didn’t want me, Axel. What does that make me to you?” “I don’t care about Álvaro’s foolishness. It's his loss for losing a woman like you.” “Okay, I must confess. I'm not worried about him either. It's Rosa… you're getting engaged to my sister in a month!” “Let me remind you, María José—I don’t give a fuck about that either.” No matter how hard I jerked, Axel wasn’t letting me go. And part of me so, so foolishly didn’t want him to.

[ MATURE CONTENT ] "Craig," she whispered, breath shivering, "please…" It didn't matter what she was asking for…more, less, everything. The plea alone made them press hard against each other, like their bodies were trying to make up for all the time they'd been apart, like they could consume each other if they touched harder. And still, she ached. For all of him. And he did too. She could tell by the way his grip on her thighs tightened, his fingers digging into her skin like he was holding on for dear life. His breath warm and uneven against her neck, as her hips rolled again, slower this time, more deliberate. Then he groaned, head falling to her shoulder as his body pressed in, hard and hungry. "Shit," he whispered, voice ragged. "Merlina," And just like that, his mouth was gone. She blinked, dazed, lips swollen, skin tingling everywhere he'd touched. He stepped back, slow and heavy with restraint, hands gripping the edge of the sink on either side of her, like he needed to hold something that wasn't her. Her voice came out in a whisper. "Why'd you stop?" His eyes met hers, dark and wrecked. But then, he smirked. "Not with your siblings next door." She stared, barely able to think. He leaned in like he might kiss her again, then stopped just short, brushing his thumb over swollen bottom lip, "PG-13 remember?"

The deeper she digs, the more dangerous things get. Anonymous threats, dark secrets, and a guy who’s starting to think her obsession with the past could ruin everything. TikTok | @officialffmeb

I never asked for this life. I was in love with someone else—someone I believed I’d grow old with. But my father had other plans. He begged me to marry a man I didn’t know, Dexter Cooper, just to keep a promise he made years ago with his rich friend. When I refused, he said he would end his life. I didn’t want that on my conscience. So I agreed. Dexter didn’t want me either. He already had a girlfriend and made it clear that I wasn’t good enough for him. From the first day of our marriage, he hated me. He humiliated me, pushed me aside, and had affairs right in front of me. I had no voice, no one to believe me—not even my father. But then came Derek—Dexter’s younger brother. He noticed me, paid attention to what I said, and took good care of me. I finally felt like I was important. We got closer, and I started to really like him. A single secret moment between us turned things around completely. When the truth emerged about the betrayal and lies, I faced a choice: fight for respect or leave to guard my heart. This is my story of pain, love, and betrayal. I didn’t choose this war, but I won’t be a victim in it.

Tomas Chavez, a Filipino high school student from Roxas, Oriental Mindoro, the Philippines, died by Truck-kun and was reincarnated into a seemingly normal fantasy world with a new body and identity. He was known as Karolo Sala. That new world had some practical technologies while retaining its medieval and fantasy style. But settling down was not possible due to a war known as the Curse War, which was ongoing. That war is between the summoned 4 Horsemen, who were summoned by a shady organization known as the Order of the Deathcallers, and the humans. The same organization also brought death to those who, unfortunately, became their targets and victims. The world was in chaos, and Karolo was so unlucky after mistakenly settling down in a city known as Pâine Dela Větry, in the country called Revivir No Fern in the Central Territory. While in the middle of the war and fighting, Karolo got involved and was killed by two of the many Deathcallers, the siblings Dan and Vanda Ciercello. These two, who had a sad childhood, realized what they did to him and those who got involved in the fighting and decided to abandon their duties to the Order and save Karolo from death. However, the wounds proved to be too severe and deep for their healing magic to do the work. So, Dan decided to use a magical technique called Healing of Repentance. It is a rare technique that would heal any physical or mental ailments, but this will cost them one thing: their loyalty. This means that once that was being used, Dan and Vanda will be loyal to Karolo, probably literally for life. But Dan and Vanda will do anything to bring Karolo back to life. And…they did so, and Karolo was brought to life. Dan and Vanda then apologized to him and vowed and swore their loyalty to him to atone for their sins of bringing atrocities to humanity. And so, the three of them worked together to end the war to bring peace to the world again. And they did so, and the Curse War ended with the bad demons wiped out of existence and the Summoned 4 Horsemen returned to the Realm of the Fires. But the story of their new lives was just starting after the war had ended.
