Rotten Apples

I just wanted a quiet life. A little cottage in the countryside. Maybe an apple orchard. A lazy dog named Bento. That was the dream. What I got instead? – A medieval fantasy world – A collapsing barony – And a debt the size of a dragon’s ass. Every time I try to quit, something worse shows up—trade wars, sword-swinging lunatics, princesses with investment portfolios, and demon lords pitching franchise models like it’s Shark Tank. I wanted a nap. Instead I’m reverse-engineering the economy, manipulating supply chains, and inventing products that shouldn’t exist in this world. Magic? Boring. Swords? Overrated. But a mana-crystal monopoly? Now that’s real power. I’m not a hero. I’m not some chosen genius. I’m just a tired bastard trying to retire… Without dying broke. Or accidentally founding an empire.

Outer yard disciple of the Tiansang Spirit Palace, Xu Xiaoshou, had average talent. However, after coming out of his death seclusion, he realized that everything had changed. He had received a Passive System with many strange, miraculous passive skills: He would become stronger with every breath. He would become stronger when he got attacked. He would become stronger when he got mocked… Xu Xiaoshou was forced to shout, “Oh God, I don’t want to be like this either. Everything I did was because I was being forced to! I am so passive!”

In the rain-slicked, neon-drenched streets of Veridia City, one name is whispered in terror: The Vexillum Consortium. A monolithic crime syndicate whose tendrils choke every facet of life, they are the unopposed gods of the city's rotten heart. Their law is fear, their justice is death, and the police are nothing more than their neutered pets. To stand against The Vex is to beg for an end too brutal to imagine. When a desperate girl, Elara, makes a final, futile run for her life after witnessing the murder of her brother, the entire city turns a blind eye. She is prey, and The Vex are the hunters. Cornered in a dark alley, her hope extinguished, she collides with a man who is not from this city, a man with eyes that burn like embers. Kaelen "Kael" Ryker. He was only looking for a restaurant. But when he sees the girl's terror and the arrogant smirks of her pursuers, something ancient and cold within him awakens. They thought he was just another sheep to be slaughtered. They were wrong. He is the wolf the shepherds pray will never come. This is not a story of a hero. This is the story of a monster who hunts other monsters. The chronicle of a man whose power is so absolute, it inspires not just hope, but a terrifying awe. Watch as he dismantles the city's fear, piece by bloody piece, and builds an empire on its ashes, gathering a harem of deadly, beautiful women who are drawn to the irresistible gravity of his strength. He is not a hero. He is the FEARBREAKER.

Davey Lionheart—the last Descendant of the once strongest knight family, was betrayed by everyone he deemed his own. His lover. His people. Even the Goddess he served.

Pagkatapos niyang magising mula sa muling pagsilang, siya ay naging kaawa-awang batang babae na ipinadala sa mental hospital ng kanyang mga biological na nakatatandang kapatid. Ang kanyang mga biological na nakatatandang kapatid ay nagmamahal lamang sa pekeng binibining dalaga, ang 'nakababatang kapatid' na ipinalit sa kanya noong kapanganakan.

Habang ang mga kapatid ay determinadong naglalakad at hinahanap si Pei Yunge… "Ang aking Yunyun ay nakakuha ng unang puwesto sa world championship muli. Napakabuting bata."

Isaiah Valkareth was born to be great. A direct descendant of the first Vitalis—those who healed a dying world and birthed elemental magic—he was meant to inherit power, purpose, and legacy. But at age eight, Isaiah failed his Affinity Test. And again at nine. And ten. And eleven. Now, nearly fourteen, battle-scarred and magic-less, he fights on the front lines where the realm throws its failures and expendables. Monsters pour from the Outlands. His battalion bleeds and burns. He survives, not by Aether, but by blade, instinct, and fury. When yet another summons arrives—his final test—Isaiah knows the truth: there is no miracle coming. No second chance. And when he fails again, they’ll discard him for good. And when he does, they don’t just strip him of honor. They banish him into the very Outlands he bled to fight against. Alone, betrayed, and hunted by the horrors he once stood against, Isaiah craves for revenge. And it was what he would deliver to the dominion that abandoned him. Something the realm cannot ignore.

Six years ago, Blake remembered it like it was yesterday. Watching my family being engulfed in flames, screams in the night akin to wailing banshees, and vampires attacked every member of his family with their sharp canines. My father, a strong warrior fighting against terrible evil, told me with hard eyes, “Run, my little brave one. Never look back.” His father pushed me against the forest, and my family died from the vampire attack. I’d been on the run for six years in the underground tunnel; darkness became my world until one day the underground tunnel was discovered by the vampires. They entered the tunnel like a deadly wave, capturing each individuals like me on the run, and I grabbed a sword, and I slashed the golden-masked man in the front. However, the mask didn't break, and the cold eyes stared at me like ice, and the man reached out to grab my thin neck, and he said in a low voice laced with menace, “Young one, you are the first one who dared to attack me openly.” His smile became sinister, and he threw me to the ground with a painful thud to my spine, and his words brought a chill to my heart, but it didn't erase the hate in me. Despite me trembling with fear, I did something bold and outrageous. I spat in his face. – Can Blake, who grew up in the underground tunnel, survive as a tyrant vampire prince’s slave? Come and find out! Read and find out what happens next.

Transported to a medieval world, I became Field—a disgraced noble. I learned women here could awaken as "Chosen Maidens"—beautiful and powerful. But before I could celebrate, my cheap father and glamorous stepmother exiled me to a monster-infested wasteland! Worse? This entire empire—no, this entire world—is rotten to the core. Cruel aristocrats, cultists worshipping horrors, unspeakable monstrosities, and conspiracies lurking everywhere... all gunning for me. *Fine. You wanna play dirty?* *I quit being human!* Sister got a fiefdom a hundred times richer? **Loot it!** Brother tending sheep peacefully? **Loot him dry!** Tribes so poor they’ve only got rags? **Straight up snatch their beauties!** Elven Queen: "Where’d my World Tree go?!" Human Emperor: "Beats me!" Demon King: *Muffled sobbing* "My succubi... all gone..." Field: *Cracks knuckles* "What a miserable world. Time to clear this godsforsaken game."

Zerra Sylvaris, a celestial nine tailed fox and disciple of a famous celestial ancient beast, was transmigrated as a zombie in an apocalyptic world. She became a mindless creature with rotting flesh and an unpleasant smell. After spending most of her life solely based on zombie instinct, she emerged as the zombie king. Thus, she gradually remembered who she was. She fought to survive, fighting against superpower humans who were trying to get rid of her. She wanted to go back to her celestial world. Until she found out that the world was actually just a novel. She was a cannon fodder, the temporary zombie king before another one replaced her. The female lead was her sister, and the scumbag male lead was her fiance! And she, the annoying younger sister, was merely a stepping stone to bring their relationship closer. After countless reincarnations, she found it hopeless to go against them. Her ending was always the same, definite death.  However… she looked at the male lead in confusion. This time around, everything was weird. To quickly end this round of reincarnation, she intended to go directly jumping to the densely packed zombies, but he stopped her. Instead, his increasingly intense gaze frightened her! In her process to become a zombie king, she thought that her flesh would turn like those rotten zombies, but this time, she awakened special powers instead. Not only she kept her original fair skin, she also could control zombies. The best thing? Her supplies for several reincarnations magically remained intact on this life! It was just that, she sometimes turned into a fox. And the male lead, coveting her soft fur and cuteness... always kidnapped her. (Content warning: gore and violence)

Two years of endless torrential rain drowned civilization. Cities vanished beneath rising tides, continents fractured, and the Arctic’s meltdown unleashed ancient viruses that mutated everything, humans included. Humanity thought it was the end. They were wrong. It was only the prologue. 【World Update Complete. Welcome to F.L.O.O.D. v1.0 — Full-Level Open-Online Domain.】 【All surviving humans have now been integrated into the system. Survive, evolve, expand… or perish.】 Rex Crowhurst wakes up beside a flickering bonfire, alone and half-starved. A floating interface greets him: 【Congratulations, Player.

Milfs And Yanderes...Out of these two, which one would you pick? The adoring, nurturing Milfs who'd spoil you rotten with soft caresses and gentle scoldings, and would happily let you rest your head on their pillowy chest after a hard day. Or the dangerously devoted Yanderes, eyes gleaming with obsession, hearts beating only for you, girls who were willing to stain their hands red and erase the world for your sake—and also erase any other girl that gets too close to you. Most would ask this as a playful debate with friends, a harmless fantasy, a question thrown into the air on a lazy afternoon. But for Mika, this wasn’t a joke. This was his everyday reality. Born an orphan, but immediately embraced as family by the five most powerful women in the world, the legendary SSS-tier Battle Angels who once saved humanity from the apocalypse, he could be said to be one lucky guy. Especially since from the moment they took him in, he was cherished, protected, and endlessly pampered, growing up surrounded by unmatched strength and unwavering love. But it wasn’t just the angels who adored him. Their daughters, raised beside him, didn’t see him as just family. Their affection ran deeper, darker, a devotion so intense, so obsessive, it danced dangerously close to madness to the extent that they wouldn't mind hunting one another down to with their own SSS-tier blessings that could level a city with a thought to make him notice them. ...And the mothers knew. They saw the way their daughters clung to him, eyes filled with love and obsession. But they didn’t mind, if anything, they welcomed it. To them, he was the perfect son-in-law, and they silently hoped their own daughter would be the one to claim his heart. Even the daughters knew, or rather, believed, with unwavering certainty that he would fall for one of them. Each one convinced it was fate, that they were destined to be the one by his side. Everyone thought so. The girls, the mothers, even the world around them. Well...Everyone except Mika. Because while they dreamed of his love, Mika’s eyes weren’t on the daughters at all. No, his heart stirred for someone else entirely. ...Their mothers. ...The very Battle Angels who raised him. Shockingly…Irresistibly…They were the ones he desired. He knew he shouldn't feel this way, not for them. Not for the very women who raised him, protected him, loved him like their own. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the way his heart raced in their presence, the way his thoughts lingered on them late into the night. It tore at him, the guilt, the desire, the confusion. He couldn’t choose between the mothers or the daughters. He didn’t want to hurt any of them. Didn’t want to be insincere. But everything changed the day he stopped trying to choose. Because he realized…he didn’t have to. He didn’t have to settle for one. He could be greedy. He could have all of them. And the moment that wicked thought settled in his mind, a slow, brilliant smile spread across Mika’s face. He no longer saw it as a dilemma, but a dream. A future where all ten of them, the fierce, stunning mothers and their dangerously devoted daughters, were his. Together...In his arms...On his bed...A tangled mess of love, obsession, and indulgence. And for the first time, he truly looked forward to the chaos that future would bring...

In a world ruled from the shadows by powerful international mafias, a mysterious tree known as “The Tree of Eden” becomes the epicenter of a global conflict. Every 1,000 years, this tree produces a single apple, a legendary fruit that grants the possessor absolute power capable of changing the fate of the world. However, the tree also grants special abilities to those who are part of these mafias, fueling a constant war for control of its power. Akihiko Sora, a 17-year-old prodigy, has lived his entire life in the darkness of organized crime.

Armed with his katana, “Kurai no Kiba”, and guided by a code of conduct, Akihiko has learned to survive. and guided by a code of honor that contrasts with the chaos of his environment, his loyalty is shaken when he discovers fragments of the truth about the tree and the link that binds him to its dark origin. . But as the world's mafias embark on an all-out war to claim the forbidden fruit, Akihiko is drawn into a conspiracy beyond his understanding. Ancestral secrets, unexpected betrayals and a destiny that seems written in the heart of the tree will push him to question not only his purpose, but also the price of power. Will Akihiko be able to unravel the mysteries of the tree before its fruit falls into the wrong hands, or will the weight of his skill and his past condemn him to eternal emptiness? In this struggle for truth and survival, one thing is certain: the next bearer of the apple will have the power to decide the future of the world . https://discord.gg/CxMzYWaeeB Reddit: r/Shikkokunoeden

A brooding, dominant businessman. A charming, playful celebrity. All Lethia wants is to reclaim what was rightfully hers and live a peaceful and comfortable life, alone with her baby. And she must get it—no matter what.

They burned him for being too powerful. Too beloved. Too dangerous to keep alive. Kaelar of Halren—once a war hero, a saint of the battlefield, a man whose voice could stop armies and whose hands could mend what even gods had forsaken—was betrayed by the very kingdom he bled for. Labeled a heretic. Condemned without trial. Chained to a pyre and left to die. But the fire did not finish him. Something older than kings stirred in the ash. It dragged him from the brink—not to save him, but to reshape him. Now Kaelar walks again. Scarred. Changed. No longer a saint. A villain reborn. With charm that disarms, beauty that captivates, and a slow-burning wrath colder than steel, Kaelar returns to the realm that betrayed him. Beneath false names and velvet masks, he moves through the capital’s rotten heart, gathering allies among the forgotten, the outcast, and the dangerously devoted. He is no longer here to heal. He’s here to unmake the crown. And this time, they will burn.

In a world where light hides the rot, a shadow rises. They are not heroes. They are not villains. They are something more dangerous: those who have nothing left to lose. An ancient energy pulses through the veins of the chosen ones; some call it a gift, others a curse. When used, it corrodes. When depleted, it destroys. And there are those who will do anything to steal it. Now, a silent game begins. Alliances unravel like spider webs. What seemed true was only a distorted reflection. And at the center of it all, an organization whispered between the lines of power, ready to reveal its true purpose. In this war, no one is safe. Not even those who think they are in control. When the world is rotten to the core, only one question remains: do you tear it down... or burn it all down?

"His girlfriend died three years ago. So why is she standing at his door?" A monster who craves warmth. A comically suicidal guy who’s suspiciously good at disposing of bodies. And a dystopian world where death is basically part of the interior design. This is a horror-romance slice-of-death story about a man and the monster pretending to be his girlfriend who may or may not love him back. No plot roadmap. Just emotional outbursts and murder. Updates when my brain permits. It’s my first work, so I’m posting it here for tips, feedback, and the occasional concerned DM. All insults on my professionalism are accepted and encouraged. Also, try seaweed and apple cider. It slaps. You’ll either thank me, or fight God for making you allergic to this masterpiece after being sent to heaven. But either way, it's worth it. Anyway, back to the novel: I dropped it. I gave up on webnovels. It's too hard. My tiny overthinking 14-year old mind cannot handle this. And I just suck at writing. I'll come back if I'm better.

Yeah uh... Imagine combining an apple and a peace in a blender, what would it taste like? Who knows, they are the same kind in different forms. man, is this really necessary though? Heavy reminder, the deuteragonist and protagonist's POV exchanges frequently in every single chapter, but don't worry, it'll only focus on the protagonist's POV as the progress goes on.

The name's Renjiro Koizumi, a Fudanshi, aka, a rotten BL fan. And I'm proud I am. My life is easy and peaceful, but then we had to come back from living abroad for years. When I entered high school, I was also met by my childhood friend, and surprisingly enough, I met a few new friends within the time I'm here. There's just one thing I noticed, male students here are so giving the gay vibe! Like my classmate who, I just found out, have feelings for my cold and annoying roommate. Then, a senior of mine has a secret crush on my best friend?! Two friends fell in love with each other, enemies to lovers trope. And step brothers with benefits?! As fudanshi, will I ever be able to help these boys get it on with their crushes? We'll see...!

“An unrequited love that spans across innumerable lifetimes… This time, would it be a hit, or a miss?” In her first lifetime, she was a cold-blooded assassin with thousands of vengeful blades chasing her down while in her second lifetime, she became of a human panacea destined to be sacrificed for the royal family. Finally, in her third lifetime, she transmigrated into the body of an ordinary village girl and that was all that she could ever wish for! An ordinary life! All she had to do was to somehow raise her sickly brother back to health and earn some money, and her life would be perfect! That… was what the naive Nie Ling had initially thought until one day, she was met with the familiar foul face of a certain someone. This past-life’s-rotten-peach-blossom of hers, why is he here?!!! In her first lifetime, the man hold her hand and solemnly promised her. “Wait for me, I will save you!” In her second lifetime, the man pulled her arm and vowed to her with sincere eyes. “Whatever it is that you want, I will give you! Even myself!” In her third lifetime, the man not only flattened her crops, broke her door, and offended her little brother to the point of puking blood. He had also got the audacity to point at her and proclaimed. “From now on, I will be detaining you!” The flabbergasted Nie Ling: “For what?” The shameless black-bellied man: “To be my wife!” *wink A second later, another dashing youngster came in between the two, saying with a pitiful face. "Wifey, I don't agree with this polyamorous relationship." Another cute young male quickly chimed after him. “Sis, all men are beasts! Only I, the world’s most obedient little brother, is worthy of your love!” === Updating everyday :) If you like the story, don’t forget to vote, comment, rate, and add us to your library!
