His lips hovered near her ear, his voice a dark whisper against her skin. "You may fear me, little bride, but I will teach your body to crave me… to need me, until I am all you ever want." --- Belle was never meant to be the bride. But when her parents cried to her about how her beautiful sister could not be married to such a man, she was forced to take her sister’s place. To prevent war between the two worlds of humans and vampires, the kings decided to sign a peace treaty with a marriage, but the only man they could offer for this marriage was a vampire said to be mad and completely heartless. When they said heartless, they meant really heartless, but Belle, being a naive girl her whole life, had no idea what she was stepping into by agreeing to this marriage. At first, he appeared innocent, a man completely opposite to all the rumors around him, until she slowly began to realize every single thing said about the mad vampire was true, or perhaps even worse! He was a man who walked in the path of darkness. He knew no light and showed no mercy, even to those who were not his enemies. He had no heart to love, no emotions but dark ones to feel for anything or anyone. But all of a sudden, when he set his eyes on her, he decided he wanted to keep her, and Belle's naive world began to take a different turn because the mad vampire was hellbent on tainting her innocent soul. Expect "Now, can we forget this happened and enjoy the night?" He arched an amused brow at her, making Belle's heart drop to her stomach as she recalled the so-called wedding night. She hurriedly pulled away from him, her face flaming with embarrassment. From everything she had heard about this night, she was not ready to experience it with this man. The women whispering about it in Mr. Marchant's shop had said one would hate their husband's presence after it and be disgusted by the act. It was not an act meant for pleasure for any woman but torture. Now that she realized her husband would do the same with her, she swallowed hard and nervously clutched her dress. "I...I am not feeling well, My Lord, I—" "Rohan," he cut her off with a tone of amusement. "Use my name when you address me, sweetheart. You looked quite energetic when you tried to go after the ring for someone who isn't feeling well, but," he sighed softly, "I've always been a generous man. I won't let you stress yourself tonight." Belle began to sigh in relief and smile in her mind that he wouldn't push her for the wedding night ceremony. She was even about to part her lips and agree that he was indeed generous and even offer him a thank you when he continued to speak, causing the momentary relief to be replaced by dread. "I will pamper you tonight, and you won’t have to lift a hand. I will give you all the pleasure since you are feeling unwell. Take it as the first lesson in my plan to make you forget love and welcome lust." "...!" "Lie on the bed for me, Isa." Belle felt her throat go dry at that strict command. "I...I..." She began but could not find any words to say to make him spare her tonight. What had she got herself into? Belle thought as a pit seemed to form in her stomach, a deep, gnawing dread. "Do you need me to carry you to the bed, or would you rather walk there yourself?" Rohan questioned with dark mirth in his voice and eyes as he watched her like a hawk. He could tell she was nervous, but what to do? She had brought herself into his world. Belle began to walk slowly to the bed at a snail’s pace, as if delaying it would help prevent the dreadful act from happening tonight. She could feel him following closely behind her. When she reached the bed, she used her shaky hands to move the drapes aside and carefully sat at the edge of it, her hands folded nervously on her lap. She felt his piercing gaze on her, but she dared not look up at him. "Lie down," he ordered softly. MATURE CONTENT, NO RAPE!!

Jaden Rook, a 22-year-old gaming addict and master of min-maxing RPGs, dies in a ridiculous accident involving a vending machine and a runaway truck. Instead of heading to the afterlife, he gets isekai’d into Arcadia, a fantasy world with magic, monsters, and kingdoms at war. Excited to finally live out his power fantasy, Jaden is given a customizable system that lets him break reality. The catch? The system is a sarcastic, trolling AI that nerfs him for fun, gives him humiliating challenges, and forces him into absurd scenarios before unlocking his true power. SNEAK PEAK: I didn’t expect to die today. But as I lay on the cold pavement, crushed between a vending machine and an outofcontrol delivery truck, I had only one thought: This is the dumbest way to die. A moment ago, I had just been trying to shake loose a stuck soda. Then, BAM! Instant roadkill. As my vision faded, the last thing I saw was the smug grin of the vending machine, as if mocking me. When I opened my eyes, I was no longer on the pavement. Instead, I floated in a pristine, glowing void. Before me hovered an old man with a white beard, a golden toga, and the same deadpan expression as a DMV worker. “Oh, great,” I muttered. “I’m dead, aren’t I?” “Yes,” the old man said, stroking his beard. “And you have been chosen for reincarnation in another world.” My eyes widened. “Wait. Hold up. Are you telling me… I’m getting isekai’d? Like in the anime?” The old man nodded. “Indeed. You have been selected to wield a powerful system, one that will grant you abilities beyond mortal comprehension.” I fistpumped. “Hell yeah! Overpowered skills, here I come!” The old man coughed. “Yes, well… about that.” I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, about that?” “You see, we have too many reincarnators lately. We can’t just be handing out godtier powers like candy anymore.” I folded my arms. “Okay, so what are we talking? A slightly nerfed cheat? A balanced growth system?” The old man looked away. “You’ll… figure it out.” My stomach dropped. “Oh, hell no. You’re about to scam me, aren’t you?” “I would never!” the old man said, voice dripping with totally believable innocence. “Now, off you go!”

Ren and Aiden awaken in an unfamiliar world, a land torn apart by the Faultline of Gods, where the ruins of an ancient civilization whisper secrets of forgotten power.

With an invincible quest system that grants 100-fold rewards, he quickly learns how to manipulate the world’s rules to his advantage. Cold, calculating, and always ten steps ahead, Ren’s power grows at an unnatural rate, drawing both admiration and fear. Meanwhile, Aiden—a reluctant optimist—clings to his ideals, questioning Ren’s methods even as he watches him defy the very gods who once ruled this land. As Ren’s legend spreads, whispers of the Lost Transcendents begin to surface—other souls like him, each with their own agendas. Some seek power. Others seek destruction. And somewhere among them, Ren must decide: Will he continue rewriting destiny, or will his path lead him to a fate even he cannot escape? In a world where even gods are bound by fate, one man will break the system itself.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the pinnacle of a Xianxia Cultivation Story appears in the middle of a post-apocalyptic system and tower climbing setting, without having lost her powers, unrestrained, and invincible? Bing Xue spent eleven thousand years in the world of Murim, ascending to become the pinnacle after countless hardships, blood, and tears, and sacrificing her own humanity in the process.

The two men couldn't have looked more out of place on the cold afternoon streets of New Hadepee. The first was a scrawny fellow, no taller than five foot eight, wearing a white shirt marred with ugly reddish-brown stains and a pair of plain tan pants. His companion, by contrast, carried himself with an air of quiet authority—a regal-looking man with a neatly trimmed black beard, wrapped in a great black coat with a red scarf pulled snug around his neck. "I heard the man himself has come back," the one in the stained shirt said, carefully balancing on the curb with his arms outstretched. "Oh? And where did you hear that?" his companion asked, turning his head with amusement to watch the precarious balancing act. "Welp, the sergeant major told me to go down to Olker, so I figured that could only mean he's back," the man in the white shirt replied. "Vistor has close cultural and political ties with the kingdom of Olker. Don't you think it's just a protection job?" the older man in black inquired, a hint of humor in his voice. "Oh, come on, Mang, you know they'd never give someone like me a protection job," the man in the white shirt scoffed, jumping off the curb and spinning around a lamppost. The older man—now known as Mang—came to a halt, reaching into his coat and pulling out an envelope. "Well, Tai, I suppose you're wrong." Mang handed the envelope to him. Tai peeled open the envelope, sliding out the letter and studying it carefully. "Oh wow, so Marlin is marrying the queen of those people?" he asked with a shrug. "She is not a queen. Don't let anyone call her that," Mang snapped. "And if her people weren't so damn difficult, we would have annexed them already." "So we let them succeed but not Gascon? Whose idea was that? They're more like us than those humans are," Tai said, frowning. "Gascon was willing to sell to the Emperor for a small chunk of change," Mang quipped. "The Noctrous family was not." "Ok so what's that matter, all we need is a little persuasion to change their minds? We killed the chief of Gnomandale and sent his stuffed head back to them, then they sold Gnomendale to us. All we need to do to get Olker is beat the hell out of Sylvie and she will sell." Tai folds the letter and places it back into the envelope. "Tai, the people of Vistor don't have the heart to see us beat up the Eladrin people like we did the Gnomes, and plus their Chief tramp Silvye is much too pretty for us to put her head on a stick."  "Welp, it's our loss," Tai muttered, spitting onto the sidewalk. "No, it's not. Not if Chester is back…" Tai frowned. "What's Chester gonna do?" "Last I recall, his fallout with Sylvie wasn't just a petty disagreement. Before he died, he built a fleet of ships and hid them in a cove somewhere. If he wanted revenge, all he'd need is an army." "And who the hell would fight for him?" "The same people who fight for us—the poor." This is a prequel to Then Maker, another story of mine. The writing may feel somewhat outdated compared to my more recent work, but it consists of a series of scenes that occur before the main events of the novel. The description is one of my most recent pieces, which is why it differs in style from the rest of the book.

[Warning: Mature Content] "Master, are we going to keep what happened last night a secret between us?" "For how loud you moaned and cried, Qing-er, I think the whole world has already learned all about it, and your concern is irrelevant." Yun Qing-er, the only disciple of the legendary immortal swordmaster Bai Ye, has been hiding her feelings for her master for years. Unaccepted by norms and morals, it is the darkest secret that she swears to bury deep within her heart. But life has other plans. Bai Ye's desire for her burns hot beneath his solemn appearance. He will teach her not only the art of the sword, but also the pleasures of life that she never knew existed before. ---------------- Smut starts at Chapter 17, with a teaser in Chapter 11. A bit softcore at first but will get wilder quickly as the story moves on :) Note that this is NOT a typical cultivation romance. Immortals and spiritual power and whatnot are all plot devices… You'll see what I mean in just a few chapters! ---------------- [Sneak Peek] He pinned me against the poplar tree at the center of the garden. A breeze rustled past, stirring the sunlight sparkling through the autumn foliage above us, and a sprinkle of gold fell over his shoulders. "Say you want me," he whispered. "Bai Ye—" I breathed, but the rest of my words were replaced by moans the moment he traced his kisses along my neck and took my earlobe into his mouth. Familiar tingles roared through me as he nibbled and suckled gently. His hand slid up my chest, and he played with my sensations with his lips and tongue and fingers until my arms trembled around him. All other thoughts vanished from my mind. The only thing I knew was the irresistible feeling of him on me, so overwhelming that my knees started growing weak. I would've fallen if he wasn't pinning me hard against the tree. "Bai Ye …" I moaned again, clawing at his clothes. "Of course I want you … Right here, right now." He let out a soft puff of laughter, and his hand grazed down, gripping the folds of my dress. With a rip of fabric, he tore them away.

I still think about the night the rigged poker site cleaned me out, $315,000 in Bitcoin gone in a blur of stacked decks and shadowy algorithms, I stared at my screen like a rivered gambler watching his last chip vanish. Online stakes had been my livelihood for years, a dance of calculated bluffs and icy nerves. But this? This was a digital heist, a cold siphon of funds into anonymous wallets. My confidence crumbled. I replayed the final hand in my mind, the AI opponent’s impossible straight flush, the frozen “Disconnected” message blinking like a taunt. For weeks, I spiraled: sweat-soaked nights, half-empty bourbon bottles, and a growing certainty that my poker career had flatlined. Then, a grizzled regular in a high-stakes forum IM'd me three words: Cyber Constable Intelligence. “They’ll call the site’s bluff,” he wrote. “Trust me.” I reached out, half-expecting another dead end. Instead, Cybers’ team responded with the focus of aces on the turn. They dissected the theft like forensic croupiers, explaining how the site had funneled my Bitcoin through a labyrinth of mixers, Tornado Cash, Chip Mixer layers of obfuscation designed to bury trails. “Think of it as tracking marked cards through a thousand shuffled decks,” their lead analyst said. Using blockchain forensics and custom scripts, they mapped the coins’ path across 14 wallets, each hop a breadcrumb in the darkness. Fifteen days later, the email arrived: “92% recovered. Initiating return.” I’d spent those weeks pacing my apartment, the air thick with stale coffee and paranoia, replaying their updates: “Tracing output to Wasabi Wallet cluster…” “Breaking Conjoin transactions—stand by.” My poker table sat idle, chips gathering dust, cards fanned out like relics of a past life. But when the balance hit my wallet, $289,800 glowing like a neon jackpot I nearly upended my desk. The next night, I logged back into a private game, my alias flashing in the lobby like a middle finger to fate. Cyber Constable Intelligence didn’t just reclaim my coins; they restored my edge. Their team operates like a ghost in the machine, outsmarting the house at its own game. Today, I play with a VPN-locked rig and a cold wallet even Fort Knox would envy.

He held her hand placing it on his chest looking at his hand on top of hers. "I give you my heart Zillah, lead me" . " Stop" she finally bursted into tears. Still being able to hold her breath from making sounds. She was drooling all over and he drew her even closer to her and hugged her like never before. She cuddled underneath his arms crying seriously but he stroked her gently until she was able to calm down. How did he manage to bear all this type of pain. How much was he going through that leaves him to no other decision than to want to change from who he was. He called her name softly "Zillah…" "I love when you call my name" she spoke like a baby with a cracked voice because she cried a lot and her hands folded and he pulled her away and looked at her with a smirk. "But you… " he was ready to call her out for what she said earlier but she placed her finger on his lips knowing what he was about to say next. His smile widened when he observed something. He moved his fingers to her neck and felt where he pierced her neck and felt the injury and blood. He held her neck tenderly healing her slowly. "This part could be more painful" he warned while healing her. She winced lightly and he stroked her face. "You've got to dominate, and I don't care if you're the seventh mundane or not".

Haruto Takahashi, an 18-year-old high school student, has spent his life trying to escape the shadow of his family’s immense wealth and power. Born into the Takahashi Zaibatsu, one of Japan’s most influential conglomerates, Haruto has always felt like an outsider in his own family. His parents, consumed by their corporate empire, have little time for him, and his childhood was marked by loneliness and neglect. Determined to live a normal life, Haruto moves out at 16, working part-time jobs to support himself and attending a public high school where no one knows his true identity. Everything changes when his grandfather, Hiroshi Takahashi, the family patriarch, summons him with an ultimatum: Haruto must return to the family and accept his role as the successor to the Takahashi empire. As part of this arrangement, Haruto is to marry Aoi Nakamura, a 16-year-old girl from an ordinary family. The marriage, orchestrated by Hiroshi as a fulfillment of his late wife’s wish, is meant to secure the family’s future and bring Haruto back into the fold. Aoi, with her striking silver hair and piercing blue eyes, is everything Haruto didn’t expect. She’s graceful, intelligent, and seemingly composed, but beneath her calm exterior lies a deep resentment for the wealthy elite. Aoi’s family, though ordinary, has its own struggles, and she sees the marriage as a betrayal of her values. Despite her initial politeness, Aoi’s true feelings soon surface, and she makes it clear that she has no intention of playing the role of the obedient bride.

Aoi, who despises the world of privilege, must grapple with her growing feelings for Haruto and the possibility that he might not be the person she thought he was. From strangers to reluctant partners, Haruto and Aoi’s journey is one of self-discovery, trust, and the slow unraveling of the walls they’ve built around themselves. As they learn to understand each other, they begin to question what it truly means to be family, to love, and to find one’s place in the world.

Ye Qiu was transported to the Great Wasteland World, where he obtained a ten-thousand-fold return system.

Cao Yucheng had two children, who were the apples of his eye. Although his eldest son, Cao Xiaorui, was not his biological child but was brought into his family by his wife when she remarried. Back then, Cao Yucheng's mother vehemently opposed his wife's entry into the family. His wife was nine years older than him and was a divorced woman with a child. No mother - in - law would be fond of such a daughter - in - law. Cao Yucheng himself was tall, promising, and young. He could have found any decent woman. Why did he have to choose a "second - hand" woman with a child in tow? However, Cao Yucheng disregarded his mother's objections, secretly got married to his wife, and began a life for the three - member family. For Cao Yucheng, who became a step - father right after entering society, he not only didn't feel ashamed of this but also didn't think that a six - or seven - year - old child would bring much extra pressure to his life. Instead, he was extremely grateful to his wife for giving him such a well - behaved, sensible, and obedient son. When Cao Xiaorui first came to his home, he was already much more sensible than ordinary children. When his parents were not at home, he would do all the housework he could. Mopping the floor, cleaning the table, washing vegetables, and folding clothes were all within his capabilities. His academic performance was also the best in the class. All these brought great honor to Cao Yucheng. Many biological fathers might not have a son that everyone envied, while he, as a step - father, had all the glory and less of the endless worries that a biological father would have. Cao Yucheng was quite satisfied with his life at that time. After getting married, his wife gave birth to a biological son for him. The whole family of Cao Yucheng was immersed in extreme joy, believing that there was nothing happier in life than this. He used his happy life to prove to all those who had opposed his marriage how correct his choice was. Unfortunately, people can't always be successful and happy throughout their lives. Just after his younger son, Cao Xiaoqi, celebrated his tenth birthday, his wife encountered a mudslide during a group outing organized by her unit. Only four people survived in the full - loaded vehicle. This incident was very sensational at that time, and major newspapers and media competed to report it.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT An unwarranted death, an unprecedented rebirth, two men vying for her love. Elize's life was not easy to begin with, but now she has to fight her own destiny. Will she want to return to what was hers? Or will she choose to ignore it? Is she strong enough to face her fate? Then what about love? GLIMPSES (P.S. Contains spoilers, read at your own discretion) : As she drew closer to the door, she could clearly hear two men bickering "I swear if you lay a finger-" Deep breath. Elize repeated to herself as she pushed the door open. Two heads whipped towards her direction from the corridor to which the door opened. The conversation between them seemed to have died down with her presence. One of the two tall men stepped towards her. An animalistic growl emanated from his body. Elize narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when she noticed it. Those eyes. Those same blue eyes! ********* "Who's there?!" She asked aloud, unable to find anyone. 'You have come at last.' The voice replied, a hint of joy in its tone. She gulped her saliva nervously. "Who- who's there?!" Elize stuttered. 'I am what is missing from you.' The voice replied, calmly. "Huh?" 'Since our time has not yet come to become one, why may I ask are you here?' The voice asked. "I uh.." She said absentmindedly. 'Let us seal our bond with a wish, that I may accept you as my master.' The voice spoke with much enthusiasm. ****** "Do you hate me Elize?" He asked, with a pout. Elize maintained her poker face. She was not going to fall for it no matter how cute he tried to act, she thought to herself. "No I don't sir. I don't even know you." She replied nonchalantly. "Ouch. That hurt." He said, clutching the place above his heart. Elize huffed, rolling her eyes. "Do you really have something to say or should I come back later?" She asked, folding her hands above her chest. "Would you come back to me later, on your own accord?" He teased, almost reaching her. "That's not what I-" The Kelpie's laughter cut her off. "You're so cute when you do that. It makes me want to bite you." He said licking his lips, his wet tongue gliding over his moist lips slowly, making a show of the process.

Silas was only fourteen when he lost his parents to the brutal orc bandit raids. For years, he worked in the field just to provide for himself and his sister, Ruth. Life was going smooth and there was hope for the future, and then the raiders came back. They tried to run like other villagers, but they were hunted down like animals by the raiders. Silas fought with all his might but was fatally injured. Half-dead, he was forced to watch the orc butcher his sister while she screamed his name for help. Pain, grief and anger overwhelmed him. Why is the world so cruel to me? I know bad things happen, but why always me? Why did they have to Kill Ruth? She's only 12 for God’s sake! {What if I give you the power to fight back?} I will make them run like they made me! I will butcher their children and women like they did to mine! I won't stop until every single one of them are dead! {What if I tell you the earth and the heavens are responsible for your misfortune?} Even if the earth gathers and the heaven descends; I will fight! {Welcome to the fold, Sin of Wrath... Be wary of every one, especially other members of the 7 deadly sins... The battle for succession amongst the seven princes of hell is unforgiving and ruthless!} ------ So I decided to ignore my health and attempt to write all three books covering the sins of pride, lust and wrath. I may burn out, or run mad midway, or succeed. So yeah, I'll take the chance. Like I said in the other books, I haven't created a discord community before, so it may take me a while to set one up. Be patient with me, okay? Wish me luck and thank you for your support!
