Defiant

Being a princess, Elena has always known that her future was set in stone: an arranged marriage with a noble, a life of duty and obedience, a throne to share with a man she never chose. But when her mother, the formidable Queen Isabella, announces that her wedding will take place sooner than expected, she realizes she no longer has the luxury of waiting. She must flee or be trapped forever in a gilded cage. Her nighttime escape leads her to the capital’s underworld, a realm she has never known, ruled by poverty, danger, and the law of the strongest. There, she crosses paths with Raven, a fearless, defiant, and insolent thief. At first, they are allies out of necessity, but as they spend time together, a forbidden bond begins to form between them. In a world where love between two women is an absolute taboo, where a princess cannot fall for an outlaw, Elena and Raven must make a choice: defy a kingdom or lose each other forever.

Reborn, Chu Tian—a once legendary underworld kingpin—returns as the major antagonist in an unfinished novel, embodying the youthful incarnation of the Great Hateful Demon Lord. At birth, he was exalted as the Holy Son of the Sacred Heaven Sect. His father, the Heavenly King Emperor, stood among the mightiest on the Heng Tian Continent, while his mother was a divine maiden from an otherworldly deity race. His eldest sister, born with sacred bones, was taken on as a disciple by the Saint God; his second sister, endowed with supreme bones and ancient dual pupils, became an apprentice of the Fate Poison Master; and his third sister… In addition, Chu Tian himself awakened the chaotic demon-dragon body, earning him the reputation of being the greatest prodigy the Heng Tian Continent has ever seen. With his defiant, extraordinary talent and invincible lineage, it seemed he was destined to stand atop all worlds. However, in the original tale, his father was framed by his fiancée’s family, forced to ingest poison in the sect’s prison, his meridians severed, and ultimately died in bitter hatred. His mother and all his sisters met similarly tragic ends—dismembered and despised by the entire continent. Labeled as the “Celestial Calamity, Lone Star,” he was spurned by all realms, falling into the demonic path, and taking on the title of the Great Hateful Demon Lord. Reborn in his youth as the Demon Lord, Chu Tian vows to change this fate. At the very outset, his idealized fiancée, Liu Yun, arrives accompanied by the “Child of Fortune”—a youth whose meridians were ruined by poison—to demand the sacred Meridian Flower Fruit needed to reconstruct his meridians. In the original narrative, Liu Yun colluded with that worthless wretch, framing him and orchestrating the downfall of his entire family. “Child of Fortune?” Chu Feng laughed coldly. The villain’s plunder system was now bound, set to seize everything from the Child of Fortune, awarding Heavenly Fate Points to help its host become the sole Child of Destiny. “Bastard, I give you two choices: First, I kill you and then wipe out your entire family; Second, I will rip this worthless fool’s muscles, peel his skin, and hang him from the sect’s mountain peak.

"If someone has to become the strongest, why can't it be me?" An unfortunate young man, brought to another world by a meteor, voices his unwillingness with a defiant roar. I just want to create a fantastical world that doesn't seem too unreal. Pre-reading Reminder 1: If you think human nature can simply be divided into good or bad, proceed with caution. Pre-reading Reminder 2: If you believe a sect is just a crowd of people flattering the protagonist, proceed with caution. Pre-reading Reminder 3: If you think the whole world is a stage for the protagonist to show off, and all people are merely stepping stones for the protagonist, proceed with caution.

Alpha Cassian was once feared and revered, a warrior who led his pack with unwavering strength. But when his mate was killed, a part of him died with her. For years, he ruled in solitude, convinced that the Moon Goddess had cursed him to walk alone. Love was a weakness he could not afford, and his heart remained closed off, his pack growing colder under his reign. That changes the night he is forced to attend the Omega auction. Among the trembling, discarded she-wolves stands her—a fragile yet defiant woman whose scent awakens something primal inside him. She is his mate. His second chance. But Cassian refuses to believe in fate a second time. The omega, once cast out for being wolfless, is sold to him against her will. In his world, she is nothing—a burden, a mistake. Yet, despite his rejection, she refuses to cower. As threats rise within the pack and outside forces scheme against them, Cassian is forced to protect her, even as he resists the bond pulling him closer. But fate is relentless, and when she is taken from him, Cassian will have to decide—will he risk his heart once more, or will he lose his mate for a second time? *** “Let me go,” she whispered, her lips quivering as tears rolled down her cheeks. He said he hated her—so why wasn’t he letting her go? Cassian’s eyes darkened at the sight of her tears. Without a second thought, he leaned in, burying his face in the crook of her neck. “What if I don’t?” he murmured, his voice rough with an emotion he refused to name. Her intoxicating scent clouded his thoughts, stirring something primal within him. He wasn’t supposed to feel this way. Yet, with her, every instinct rebelled against reason. “Because you don’t love me,” she choked out, her hands trembling against his chest. “And if you don’t, then you have no right to keep me.” She was right. Then why did the thought of separation pierce his heart like a blade? "Then why doesn't your body feel same. Infact it's screaming at me to touch you there" his voice sultry as he moved his hand down south. **** Add the book to library. Drop votes and reviews. Support the author with your endless love

The air in the secluded passage crackled with a tension that was both palpable and suffocating. Arin, her back pressed against the cold stone wall, watched as Roan stalked towards her, his eyes burning with a mixture of rage and a chillingly possessiveness. It had been months since he had cast her aside, months since his words had shattered her world, yet the memory of his rejection remained as sharp as shattered glass. He had found her alone, a rare moment of solitude in the bustling citadel, and he had seized the opportunity to confront her. Jealousy, a venomous and unfamiliar serpent, coiled within him, fueled by the sight of her arrival alongside Alpha Zayan. Though he would never admit it, the unexpected image of her with anyone, talk more an Alpha gnawed at his pride, a stark reminder of his judgment. "So," he began, his voice a low, menacing growl, "the whore returns." Arin's chin lifted, her eyes flashing with a defiant fire. She refused to cower before him, to allow him the satisfaction of seeing her break. "I came with Alpha Zayan," she corrected, her voice steady, "at his invitation." Roan scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. "An invitation," he echoed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "How convenient. I suppose you've been… entertaining him in exchange for his protection?" He stepped closer, his imposing figure casting a long, intimidating shadow over her. "You always were good at selling yourself, weren’t you? First me, then whoever else was willing to take you." He watched her, his eyes filled with a cruel satisfaction, as if he expected her to crumble beneath his insults. He wanted to see her break, to see her reduced to the trembling, humiliated woman he had left behind. But Arin had changed. The pain of his rejection had forged a resilience within her, a strength she never knew she possessed. She had learned to value her own worth, to define herself outside of his judgment. A slow, deliberate smile spread across her lips, a smile that held no warmth, only a chillingly detached amusement. "I would rather be a whore in a cheap bar," she said, her voice laced with a quiet contempt, "than be your whore, King Roan." His eyes widened, a flicker of surprise momentarily breaking through his mask of arrogance. He had expected tears, pleas, perhaps even a desperate attempt to defend her honor. He had not expected defiance.

“But that doesn’t mean we have to accept it. I Dao Wei, will never blame anyone for my own shortcomings! The so-called Law of the Jungle is something I will rewrite with my own hands!” Each word he spoke seemed to resonate with power, the air around him growing heavy with the force of his conviction. The dark child looked up, his anger wavering, replaced by something akin to fear as Dao Wei’s words crashed down on him like mountains, crushing the doubts that had festered within. “This is my Law!” Dao Wei declared, his voice rising as he drew himself to his full height. “And I am the Law!” Rumble! The sky began to change. Dark clouds gathered overhead, swirling in a furious dance as the heavens themselves seemed to respond to Dao Wei’s challenge. The wind howled through the peaks, and the ground trembled beneath the feet of those watching, as if the entire mountain was bracing itself for what was to come. The clouds grew darker, more ominous, the air charged with a strange energy. Thunder rumbled in the distance, a low growl that steadily grew louder, shaking the very foundations of the Sword Peak. The disciples and elders looked up in alarm, their faces pale as they realized the magnitude of what was happening. “Haa! Even if the Heavens try to stop me, I’ll split open the Heavens themselves!” Dao Wei’s voice rang out, defiant and unyielding, carrying with it a power that defied the very laws of nature...

Through the endless march of time, where empires rose only to crumble into forgotten dust and stars burned bright before fading into the abyss, their love endured—a golden thread woven into the fabric of eternity. It did not yield to the passing of years, nor did it wither under the weight of sorrow or the trials of fate. It was a force beyond the grasp of mortal understanding, untouched by decay, stronger than the tides that shaped the world. When the sun kissed the horizon, their love glowed in its final light; when the moon bathed the earth in silver, it whispered their names to the wind. No distance could sever them, no force could erase the echoes of their souls calling to one another across lifetimes. Through each rebirth, through each forgotten past, they found their way back—drawn together by an invisible pull, a promise carved into the very essence of existence. The world changed, the centuries turned, but their love stood unwavering, defiant against time itself. It was not merely a moment, not merely a story—it was infinity itself, wrapped in the embrace of two hearts destined to beat as one, foreve

Synopsis: The Beat of Equity In the city of Vellor, a stark divide separates the wealthy elite from the impoverished slums, where hope is scarce, and survival is a daily struggle. Amidst this inequality, a young woman named Rani hears two distinct rhythms: the luxurious beats of the rich and the faint, defiant thrum of the oppressed. Raised in the slums by her father, a former master drummer, Rani inherits his drumsticks with a message: “The beat of equity must be heard.” As Rani grows, her powerful rhythms resonate through the streets of Vellor, echoing a call for justice and equality. Despite performing at high society galas, the elite dismiss her music as mere entertainment, blind to the profound message within. But Rani’s drumming becomes a force of rebellion, uniting the poor in a movement for change. When the oppressed rise up, their drums growing louder and stronger, the wealthy are forced to confront the truth of their systemic inequality. As the protests intensify, the elite are shaken by the power of the drums, and a transformation begins in the city. Laws are enacted to redistribute wealth, improve healthcare, and provide education for the marginalized. The drums of equity become a symbol of unity, reminding everyone that equality is not just a distant dream but a rhythm that must be heard and embraced by all. Years later, the drums of equity continue to beat through Vellor, no longer a sound of rebellion but one of celebration and progress. The legacy of Rani and her father lives on, proving that when the rhythms of justice and equality are heard, change is inevitable.

The year 2025, the heavens betrayed humanity. A Red Star tore through the sky, its burning fragments raining down upon Earth like divine judgment. Continents fractured under the cataclysmic impact, oceans froze into endless icy wastelands, and the skies burned crimson with perpetual twilight. The Red Star didn’t just destroy—it awakened. In its wake, shards of alien energy infused survivors with unimaginable powers. Titans rose, flames danced at fingertips, swarms obeyed silent commands, and portals opened to realms unknown. These Awakened warriors were both saviors and harbingers, their gifts as much a curse as salvation. But the Red Star’s arrival was only the beginning. From beyond the void came horrors—twisted creatures born of corruption, feeding on humanity like cattle. And if these monsters weren’t enough, betrayal struck closer to home. The Western nations, once pillars of progress and unity, crumbled under fear. Desperate for survival, they forged unholy alliances with the invaders, selling out their own kind to monstrous overlians. Cities fell silent, their streets haunted by traitors and shadows. To the East, the empires sealed their borders, retreating behind walls of secrecy. Their silence echoed louder than any declaration of war. Only the Middle Lands stood defiant. From the deserts of North Africa to the savannahs of the south, the people of the Middle Lands refused to kneel. Against impossible odds, they waged a desperate war against both monstrous invaders and treacherous allies. It was here, amidst the ruins of civilization, that legends began to rise.

Born of a forbidden union, a god named Matrix found his destiny intertwined with the greatest war the realms had ever known. When the battle finally subsided, an unexpected burden fell upon him: the mantle of World King. He ruled with grim resolve, balancing order and sacrifice, his hands forever stained with the ichor of fallen gods. But even this hard-won peace was fragile. From the depths of Oblivion, a monstrous horde, imprisoned by his father's desperate act, clawed its way free, threatening to unravel all he had built. Against this encroaching darkness, Matrix stood defiant, but as a god without allies, his crusade seemed doomed from the start. Or so fate decreed. As defeat loomed, a hidden anomaly revealed itself: a tear in the fabric of time, offering a desperate escape through transmigration. Yet such power comes with a terrible price. How long can a god endure such trials? When will he succumb to despair, to the very darkness he seeks to vanquish? Will he shatter under the strain, becoming a harbinger of annihilation across the realms? Or might he, against all prophecy, find a spark of hope within the abyss and rise anew? * "Tell me what you saw," Matrix commanded, his voice edged with a desperate impatience. The Oracle chuckled, a dry, rustling sound that seemed to emanate from the very bones of the earth. A tremor ran through Se'mudara, prickling the skin on her arms. "I see dead people,"

"I was supposed to hate him. I did. Until the lines between hatred and fate blurred, and I realized the monster who locked me in his cage could be the mate my soul had been waiting for." Isabella's world was shattered the night her parents were slaughtered, their pack reduced to ashes by the infamous Alpha King, Lucian Dragos. Alone, vulnerable, and moments from being claimed by a rival pack, she was saved—only to be seized by the very man she despised. Lucian killed them all without mercy, his men locking Isabella in a silver-lined cage like a prize to be owned. But she was no prize. She was a prisoner. A defiant captive who refused to bow to the monster who had stolen everything from her. Yet, as the days passed, hatred began to unravel into something more dangerous. Lucian was ruthless but never cruel to her. His touch, once unwelcome, ignited a fire she couldn’t ignore. The way he looked at her, as if she was his salvation, terrified her more than his fangs ever could. She was his fated mate. But could she ever love the man who destroyed her world? Or was there more to the Alpha King than the blood-stained legend whispered through the night

In a world where past and present intertwine, Isla's reality fractures with the utterance of a forgotten name: Isolde. It's a name that unlocks a torrent of vivid, unsettling memories, binding her to an ancient conflict and a malevolent force named Thane. He claims her as his, plunging her into a desperate struggle against a darkness that threatens to consume not just her, but the very fabric of her world. With Kai, her steadfast protector, Isla seeks refuge, but sanctuary proves fleeting. They are hunted, their every move shadowed by unseen eyes, their refuge a fragile illusion against encroaching dread. The deeper they delve, the more they uncover: ancient prophecies, hidden sanctuaries, and the legacy of Elara, a powerful ancestor whose blood flows through Isla's veins. Betrayal strikes from within, shattering their trust and casting them into a labyrinth of subterranean tunnels, where ancient forges whisper tales of forgotten battles. Here, they learn to wield their inherited powers, forging weapons of light against the encroaching shadows. In a climactic confrontation, they face Thane in his obsidian throne room, a battleground where light clashes with overwhelming darkness. Despite their courage, Thane seizes the amulet, a conduit of ancient power, threatening to unleash its corrupted energy. Yet, Elara's spirit, defiant and unyielding, resists, offering a fragile glimmer of hope. Isla and Kai, battered but unbroken, stand against the encroaching darkness, their fates irrevocably intertwined with the echoes of a shattered queen. They must confront not only Thane, but the fractured fragments of their own pasts, the lingering whispers of betrayal, and the terrifying possibility that the light they carry may not be enough to extinguish the encroaching shadows. The final battle looms, where the very essence of memory and identity will be tested, and the fate of their world hangs precariously in the balance.

The Price for Loving You Nicolas Blackwood had never been the son his father wanted. In a family of powerful alphas, he was an anomaly—an omega, a stain on the legacy his father spent decades building. Weak. Useless. A mere bargaining chip to secure alliances. That was all Adrian Blackwood saw in him. But Nicolas never cared for power, nor did he crave his father’s approval. His heart belonged to something greater—freedom, dance, the thrill of losing himself in movement, and the people who truly loved him. His mother, whose warmth shielded him from his father’s cold expectations. Lachelle, the best friend who never left his side. And Lucas, the boy who once made him believe in love. But the fragile world Nicolas built shatters when his older brother, Nathaniel, is murdered. His father, the man who had barely acknowledged his existence, suddenly turns his gaze on him. And now, Nicolas has a duty to fulfill. His body, his life, his future—none of it belongs to him anymore. He is to be bound to Caleb Montgomery, the son of a powerful business family. A loveless marriage, a cage disguised as duty. His fate is sealed. Until Dominik Nikolayevich Rizzo steps into his life. The last heir of two great mafia dynasties—his Russian father and Italian mother had built an empire together, their love as dangerous as it was legendary. But love wasn’t enough to save them. On the night before his mother’s birthday, Dominik had left their estate to buy her flowers, only to return to a nightmare. His home engulfed in flames, his parents trapped inside. He had screamed for them. He had fought to reach them. But there was nothing left to save. And Adrian Blackwood had been the one who lit the match. For years, Dominik lived for one thing—revenge. He would infiltrate the Blackwood family, rip them apart from the inside, and watch as their empire crumbled beneath his feet. Killing Caleb Montgomery was just another step in his plan. Taking his place at Nicolas' side was another. But nothing could have prepared him for Nicolas himself. The omega was nothing like he expected—defiant, sharp-tongued, and entirely too beautiful. Too captivating. And in one reckless night, one moment of madness neither of them saw coming, Nicolas' heat drives him straight into Dominik's arms. He claims him. And worse—he marks him. Now, they are bound by something stronger than hatred. A connection neither of them wanted. Nicolas, trapped in the arms of the very man who destroyed his life. Dominik, bound to the omega he was meant to ruin. But the deeper Nicolas digs, the more secrets he unearths—truths his family has buried beneath blood and lies. The real reason Nathaniel was murdered. The sins his father tried to erase. And worst of all… The most dangerous man in his life—the one who led him into the darkness, the one who shattered his world— Was the same man he was falling in love with.

"You should not exist." Those were the first words Emperor Ryan Calderon spoke to Elara Veyne when she was dragged before his throne in chains.

The shocking decision splits the players—469 million side with the Overlord, tempted by its promises, while a defiant 4.5 million choose to fight back. Among the rebels is Kevin, a maverick gamer who stumbles upon a mysterious, unfinished sword—a weapon designed to end the game but never meant to be found. Joined by Zoey, a cunning strategist, and Max, one of the game’s creators trapped alongside them, Kevin becomes an unlikely leader in the fight to overthrow the Overlord and escape the game. But with the odds stacked against them, the resistance must navigate a fractured world full of corrupted terrain, loyalist ambushes, and deadly trials. As the truth about the glitch and the Overlord’s origin comes to light, Kevin and his group realize that survival isn’t just about winning the game—it’s about rewriting its very code. Kakze is a gripping story of courage, sacrifice, and the power of defiance in a world where the line between reality and illusion no longer exists.

The spectral legions of Zephyr the Abyssal, Dark Lord of the Abyss, bring an icy death to the world. Bleached bone mountains rise, a testament to his tyranny, while tormented souls, twisted into demonic servants, bolster his ever-growing army. Humanity's vibrant history is a fading memory, swallowed by the encroaching darkness. Yet, against this overwhelming despair, the sun's life-giving warmth persists, nurturing the fragile seeds of hope. The embers of peace, though faint, still glow, a defiant spark against the abyssal night. Nestled at the foot of the imposing Mount Cinderfang, within the protective circle of the ancient bronze Citadel of Whispers, lies the secluded hamlet of Whisperwind. This sacred site, home to the Celestial Monastery, is guarded by monks imbued with righteous might. Within the Monastery, these monks maintain a tireless vigil, their disciplined ranks a bulwark against the encroaching darkness. Their sacred duty: to protect the people of Whisperwind from the formidable magical forces that threaten from beyond the Citadel of Whispers. The memory of Elder Theron's stand against Zephyr the Abyssal and his legions still echoes—a battle of unparalleled ferocity that stained the autumn afternoon with the blood of countless fallen. Good and evil clashed with a rage unseen before, overwhelming the Celestial Monastery. Forced to retreat to the sanctuary of Mount Cinderfang, Elder Theron, grievously wounded, hid a peerless spiritual treasure deep within a secret chamber beneath Oracle Falls before his death. With his last breath, he merged with the surging energies... Creating the Infernal Lock formation, the people of Whisperwind, protected by the Citadel of Whispers, have withstood countless attacks from the demonic hordes over the years. This powerful shield afforded the Celestial Monastery precious time to train exceptional disciples, true paragons of martial prowess. The legend of a hero who would vanquish tyranny would remain untold were it not for the appearance of a certain individual: Drakon, an orphan boy from Whisperwind. Fate led this youth to encounter the Sunfire Drake, a divine beast hatched from a colossal golden egg, possessing the power to unleash devastating flames. Drakon's destiny was forged in three blades: Crimson Edge, a longsword representing humanity's strength; Dawnbreaker, a legendary blade imbued with divine power; and Nightshade, the infernal blade of the demonic legions, a weapon that bound the fearsome Obsidian Drake. This duality—the Sunfire Drake against the Obsidian Drake, light against darkness—mirrored the internal conflict within Drakon, the eternal struggle between good and evil, the choice between righteous and wicked paths. With his draconic companion and his ultimate weapons, Drakon ascended to the pinnacle of power, a figure who challenged both the demonic world and the forces of light.
