Cbi California Bureau

Alex Kim is just another overworked desk clerk at the Department of Supernatural Regulation—until he makes one mistake that binds five dangerously powerful women to him through an ancient arcane contract. Now, they live with him, fight for dominance, and drag him into supernatural politics he never asked to be part of. With the Bureau watching his every move and threats rising from both inside and outside his apartment, Alex has to navigate paperwork, monsters, and… a house full of women who might just kill for him. One wrong word, and the whole city could burn.

AVERTISSEMENT : CONTENU MATURE J'avais huit ans quand mon monde a brûlé. Ma famille a été massacrée ; ma maison réduite en cendres. Et les responsables ? Disparus. Tout ce qu'ils ont laissé derrière eux était un bandana noir brodé d'une épine de belladone—un symbole de mort. Pendant dix ans, je me suis entraînée dans l'ombre. Je suis devenue une arme. Maintenant, ma chasse me mène à l'Académie Surnaturelle Prestige (ASP), l'école de loups-garous la plus élitiste au monde—un endroit gouverné par quatre héritiers Alpha avec trop de pouvoir, d'arrogance et de désirs sombres. La nuit de mon arrivée, je croise le chemin de Dristan, Kai et Axel—héritiers des Rois Alpha de l'Est, du Nord et de l'Ouest. Arrogants. Vicieux. Des Dieux parmi les loups. Ils me voient comme rien. Une vagabonde faible et impuissante. Ils m'humilient, me provoquent, me dominent—me donnant envie de les mettre en pièces. Alors, je fais un vœu : je les détruirai avant qu'ils n'aient la chance de me détruire. Puis, à la veille de mes 18 ans, la Lune de Sang se lève. Mon loup s'éveille. Ma puissance monte en flèche. Et le destin ? Cette garce cruelle et tordue m'enchaîne à tous les trois. Compagnons. Je veux les rejeter. Je brûle pour eux à la place. Et quand je rencontre Xade, l'héritier pervers et à la langue d'argent du Roi Alpha de la Ceinture Centrale, le lien final se met en place. Quatre alphas possessifs, dominants et dangereusement irrésistibles. Une louve vengeresse et indomptable. Et un secret mortel les liant à mon passé. Les aimer pourrait me détruire. Les haïr pourrait me tuer. Mais à la fin... qui ruinera qui ? Et, putain—pourquoi mon corps traître les veut-il tous les quatre pour le faire ? *************** "Dis-le." La voix de Dristan était douce et contrôlée d'une manière qui promettait la dévastation en dessous. J'ai dégluti difficilement, mon pouls martelant alors qu'il me coinçait contre le bureau. Kai était derrière moi, sa chaleur pressée contre mon dos, son souffle taquinant mon cou. Axel se pencha, les lèvres courbées en un sourire diabolique, ses yeux vert noisette sombres d'amusement. "Dis-le, ma chérie. Dis que tu ne nous veux pas et nous te laisserons tranquille—peut-être." J'ai serré les poings. Je voulais leur dire d'aller se faire foutre—mais mon corps traître ? Il me trahissait déjà. Ma peau brûlait. Mon cœur s'emballait. Mes cuisses se serraient contre l'insupportable douleur qu'ils causaient simplement en existant. J'ai relevé le menton, ignorant la chaleur qui se lovait au creux de mon ventre. "Je ne—" "Menteuse." Ce seul mot venait de Xade, qui était resté silencieux jusqu'à présent. Il était assis dans le fauteuil du professeur, ses yeux bleu cristal brûlant dans les miens. Il n'avait pas besoin de me toucher. Sa voix seule suffisait à me défaire. Il sourit en coin, inclinant la tête. "Tu peux te battre autant que tu veux, petite louve. Mais nous pouvons le sentir." Les doigts d'Axel tracèrent le pouls à ma gorge. "Ton cœur bat la chamade." Les lèvres de Kai effleurèrent mon oreille. "Ton corps te trahit, mon amour." Dristan expira lentement, son regard verrouillé sur le mien comme un prédateur savourant sa proie. "Ton odeur ne ment pas, compagne." Putain. Tout mon corps était en feu. Mes jambes tremblaient. Ma louve ronronnait dans ma tête, désireuse de se soumettre. Je ne le ferais pas. Je ne pouvais pas. Alors, j'ai fait la seule chose que je pouvais—j'ai repoussé Axel, j'ai pivoté et j'ai essayé de m'échapper. Je n'y suis pas arrivée. Kai a attrapé mon poignet, me ramenant contre sa poitrine. J'ai haletée, mes paumes s'écrasant contre son torse solide comme du roc. Ses yeux dorés brûlaient dans les miens. "Où penses-tu aller ?" Axel était maintenant derrière moi, ses doigts glissant sous ma mâchoire, forçant ma tête à se relever. "Nous n'en avons pas fini avec toi, ma chérie." Dristan sourit. "Pas même proche, compagne." "Nous ne faisons que commencer," articula Xade. J'étais piégée. En cage. Et le pire ? Je ne voulais pas fuir.

Quinlan, un simple employé de bureau se retrouve transmigré dans un monde fantastique extrêmement dangereux en tant que Roturier de niveau 1 avec rien à son actif sauf son intelligence - et un don unique qui a accompagné sa téléportation. Personne à Thalorind n'aurait pu prédire que cette arrivée anodine monterait un jour au sommet, redéfinissant le sens même du terme 'pouvoir'... Et qu'il pourrait avoir atteint ce résultat en rejoignant une organisation criminelle et en se frayant un chemin à travers ses rangs. Au début, Quinlan était douloureusement faible et seul, mais grâce à ses graves problèmes de confiance, rejoindre une équipe était... difficile. Cependant, il a vite remarqué que beaucoup de gens ont des colliers autour du cou dans ce monde... Des gens qui ne pouvaient pas vraiment le trahir. Suivez le voyage de Quinlan alors qu'il augmente en puissance, amasse des richesses, combat à mort et rencontre de charmantes dames. ... Discord : https://discord.gg/bjunEkswQ3 ... Après avoir écrit plus de 750 chapitres, voici ce que vous devriez savoir : 1. À propos du début : Les premiers chapitres sont un peu difficiles. Je ne dis pas que c'est horrible, en fait, je crois que l'histoire est très agréable dès le chapitre 1. Mais, en fin de compte, c'est mon premier roman original, et j'ai trébuché dans certains domaines, surtout avec l'attitude du MC. Il est trop réservé et parfois trop "simpe" avec la première protagoniste féminine. Cependant, le MC devient une figure confiante, puissante et posée. Pas de gêne à long terme. Il devient le genre de MC pour lequel vous voulez encourager. 2. La moralité de Quinlan : Ce n'est pas un vilain cruel et sadique. La plupart du temps, il n'agira même pas comme un vrai vilain, seulement lorsqu'il sera poussé à bout. Cela signifie qu'il ne torturera pas des chiots ou des civils pour le plaisir tout en ricanant de manière maniaque. Cependant, il est avide, sans vergogne et opportuniste. Si les vies de ses proches sont en jeu et qu'il ne peut les sauver qu'en brûlant une ville avec des innocents à l'intérieur, il le fera. Il est impitoyable envers les étrangers lorsque c'est nécessaire, mais ne se réjouit pas de la cruauté. 3. En ce qui concerne les esclaves : Oui, Quinlan devient un maître d'esclaves. Cependant, il traite toutes ses femmes - libres ou esclaves - avec soin et respect. 4. Plus que du sexe : Chaque intérêt amoureux a une vraie histoire, une vraie présence. Aucune fille ne sera laissée de côté. Au chapitre 750, Quinlan a 7 amantes et quelques autres intérêts amoureux "en développement". Ce n'est pas une histoire "attraper toutes les filles", en ajoutant une nouvelle fille tous les 20 chapitres. Je préfère les harems composés de filles avec des personnages richement développés à de grands harems remplis de femmes superficielles. Qualité plutôt que quantité. 5. Récit équilibré : Mon objectif était de créer une œuvre où romance, action, et tranche de vie s'harmonisent naturellement. Il y a des actions à enjeux élevés, une progression du pouvoir, des développements romantiques, de la comédie, et un peu de calme pour permettre aux personnages et aux lecteurs de respirer. 6. Progression de faible à fort : Quinlan deviendra OP. Mais il monte doucement, pas du jour au lendemain. Son parcours se veut mérité. 7. Toutes les personnages féminins mentionnés dans le fandom ne sont pas des intérêts amoureux : Certaines femmes sont importantes pour l'intrigue mais ne font pas partie du harem ou ne sont pas prévues pour l'être, comme ses deux mères. 8. Pas de Yuri. Pas de NTR. C'est tout, merci d'avoir pris votre chance sur mon roman ! Je ferai une promesse pour vous montrer à quel point je crois que vous aimerez le roman si vous surmontez le début quelque peu cahoteux ! Si vous lisez 750 chapitres et détestez l'histoire même après avoir investi autant de temps dedans, alors vous pouvez me brûler vif !

La veille de leur mariage, son fiancé s'est enfui avec sa maîtresse. Frustrée, elle attrape l'homme debout devant le bureau des affaires civiles, "Président Chadwick, votre mariée n'est pas arrivée et mon marié s'est enfui... Puis-je suggérer que nous nous marions ?" Avant le mariage, elle a dit: "Même si nous partageons le même lit, rien ne se passera entre nous !" Après le mariage, il a dit: "Si nous n'essayons pas, comment saurons-nous ?"

Han Yu se sentit impuissant, « Mademoiselle Lin, je suis désolé... » Lin Qingya était à la fois embarrassée et en colère, « Désolé ? Être désolé est utile ? Mets-toi à genoux pour moi ! » Le lendemain, une photo de Mademoiselle Lin de la Corporation Lin embrassant passionnément un inconnu explosa dans toute la ville. Chaque rue et ruelle résonnait de discussions sur comment la PDG Femme Glacier n'était rien de plus qu'une hypocrite en public, gardant secrètement qui sait combien d'amants. Lors de la réunion du conseil d'administration de la Corporation Lin, les directeurs se sont unis pour la mettre sous pression, exigeant sa démission de l'entreprise en raison des dégâts causés à la réputation de la Corporation Lin par Lin Qingya. Pour son propre honneur et la réputation de la Corporation Lin, Lin Qingya composa le numéro de cet homme. « Bonjour, Han Yu, c'est moi, Lin Qingya. » « Rendez-vous au bureau des affaires civiles dans une demi-heure, je vais vous épouser ! » Avec son diagnostic médical en main, Han Yu répondit : « Je suis désolé, mais je refuse ! »

A forgotten kingdom. A sacred vow. A journey home across centuries. Centuries ago, the fate of a young Vietnamese noblewoman became entwined with the rise and fall of the Champa kingdom. Her name was Thanh Mai—a girl of silken grace and iron spirit, whose heart beat with forbidden love and a fierce loyalty to truth. Her story was nearly lost… until one man dared to follow its echo. In modern-day California, Kien Quoc—a quiet Vietnamese-American engineer—receives his father’s dying wish: return to Vietnam and uncover the roots of their family’s past. His journey leads him into the heart of central Vietnam, where sacred towers sleep beneath moss and myth, and where the memory of Champa lingers in song, stone, and silence. Guided by dreams and joined by Sari, a Balinese journalist equally devoted to Southeast Asia’s lost civilizations, Kien stumbles upon a revelation that challenges history, identity, and the very idea of nationhood. Along the way, they unearth a secret chamber beneath the holy valley of My Son—and within it, a truth that changes everything. Told in sweeping, poetic prose, Last Song of the Nation weaves together two timelines: the fall of Champa through the eyes of a young woman trapped between war and destiny, and a contemporary quest for heritage, love, and healing. At its core lies a question that haunts generations: What do we owe the past, and what can it still teach us today? This is a novel of memory and migration, of culture and compassion, of spirits that never die and songs that still carry across the wind.

Just when it seemed like Hell broke loose—dimensional rifts opened, monsters poured in, and humanity awakened into powerful beings called Players—the world forgot one important thing: Taxes. With strength came arrogance. Players, now superior to normal citizens, stopped paying taxes. The Player Bureau Association became a joke. Governments collapsed. Power ruled. But Bennison Crowfield, a low-level IRS desk jockey with a burning hatred for tax dodgers, wasn't laughing. Then he awakened—not as a Mage, not as a Mythical Dragon Summoner—but as something far worse: a Tax Collector Class of unknown rank. Now armed with skills that can seize experience, stats, items, and even souls, Ben doesn’t just collect taxes—he enforces System Law. Refuse to pay? Get debuffed, sealed, or foreclosed. Even the rift gates themselves now owe back taxes. And whether you’re a level 500 raid boss, a god of lightning, or a smug Player flaunting your power—you will pay. Because nobody runs from the IRS.

#SMUTTY #RED FLAG #STRONG MATURE CONTENT A/N: At least read the first ten chapters before tossing the book away. . . On her legal marriage ceremony, Poppy Sinclair receives the shock of her life when she is presented with another marriage certificate to a man whose name didn't exist in any records. Her family publicly humiliates her in front of everyone at the civil bureau, branding her a whore and a disgrace. And in front of her trembling eyes, her betrothed, Dale Roosevelt proceeds to marry her stepsister, Layla Sinclair instead, signing their marriage certificate right there. Poppy thought nothing her twisted family ever did could shock her. But she was wrong. Three days later, she is met with a truth she could never face — her fake marriage with the stranger was planned by her stepsister and betrothed, to a man they thought was deceased, just so that they could get married first and hide their affairs. "You'll marry Dale... even if it means being his second wife!" Her family had said when she exposed her half-sister. And when Poppy tried to rebel, she realized that fate was cruel to her. Her supposed husband, Alaric Langford, was a mad man the world knew nothing about, and a man no one dares to cross. Trapped in a twisted marriage, Poppy decided to go against her cruel fate and take revenge on everyone who had ruined her life. But something was weird. Why was her mad husband aggressive with others but clingy with her? And why was he strange sometimes like he was normal? ## EXCEPT 1 Poppy stopped just at the entrance... and froze. "What in the name of sanity...?" The front yard—no, the entire courtyard—was in chaos. They were guards everywhere, chasing after one man. And not just any man. A tall, dangerously handsome, half-naked man with wild black hair. He ran barefoot through the courtyard, laughing like a child who'd stolen candy, while the guards struggled to catch up. "GET HIM!" "HE'S HEADING FOR THE FOUNTAIN!" Poppy's mouth fell open. Her brain couldn't process what she was seeing. Why were they chasing him? The man suddenly paused when he sensed her. And then he turned. Their eyes met. She drew in a sharp breath at the eye contact. There was something disturbingly beautiful about him. His chest rose and fell as sweat glistened across his skin, and he looked at her curiously. Then he smiled. She felt her heart thunder wildly in her chest, but her face paled when she realized what he was about to do. Without warning, he yanked off the last piece of clothing he had on. Just like that, he was completely naked.

The apocalypse is not the end — it is a game. And only the elect can play along. Every week, a few chosen ones are placed in a twisted mirror of reality — a world on the brink of annihilation. Here, players must survive a new cataclysmic disaster, armed with only one randomly selected ability. Ethan Cross never asked to be a player. But when he is drawn into the Apocalypse Game, his first draw changes everything: "the Eye of Death" - an SSS-ranked ability that shows him visions of his own death. While others fight blindly, Ethan outwits fate itself and replays his own demise until he finds the perfect path to victory. "Congratulations! You have overcome the disaster of [Puppet Kingdom] and obtained the [Severing Seven]: [The Severing Seven]!" "Congratulations! You've eliminated the threat of [Abyssal Horror] and received [S-Rank Ability: [Abyssal Horror]: [S-Rank Skill: Scales of Judgment]!" "Congratulations! You have shattered the paradox of [Time Reversal] and unlocked the [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Destruction]: [SSS Rank Skill: Sword of Annihilation]!" Other players: "Bro, we’re still learning the rules, how can you clear dungeons already?" Apocalypse Control Bureau: "Mr. Cross, your survival is crucial to the future of humanity! STOP THROWING YOURSELF INTO DANGER!"

Rayyan was no ordinary boy—he possessed a power unlike any other. Mysterious and quiet, he lived a life shrouded in secrets. One day, in a twist of fate, he kidnapped a girl named Daphne Catherine, unaware of the truth behind her identity. She wasn’t just any girl—she was Dee, the infamous master of the underground racing world. Dee had abandoned her past, hiding from the law as the police closed in on her illegal racing bureau. Determined to clear her name, she returned to the city to resolve the chaos she'd left behind. After the case was settled, she enrolled in university, eager to start over. There, she met Duke—a charming, attentive guy who helped her during a bout of fever. Slowly, she began to fall for him. They spent time together, often meeting at the cozy café where he worked part-time. But just when she thought she could trust again, Duke betrayed her. He took her to a place, unaware that she secretly owned it. The lies shattered her. Devastated, Dee returned to the racetrack, her old escape. But the race turned tragic—an accident left her in a coma for a month. When she finally opened her eyes, Rayyan was there. He confessed his feelings, the emotions he’d kept buried now pouring out. They argued often—Rayyan, normally quiet and distant, only ever opened up to her. Despite the tension, something sparked between them. Love, hesitant and tender, began to grow. Together, they began crossing off items from Dee’s bucket list, sharing laughs and stolen moments. But happiness was never meant to last. Tragedy struck again. In the chaos, Rayyan saved her, risking everything. He introduced her to his sister, letting her deeper into his guarded world, and then left the country for a series of high-stakes business deals. But when he returned, everything had changed. Dee was distant, cold. Without warning, she walked away, claiming she no longer wanted him in her life. The rejection broke Rayyan. Her absence consumed him, turning his quiet obsession into a dark spiral of despair. He was no longer the same. Now, with their love shattered and hearts in pieces—what happens next?

Nin-Ran-Gi is a futuristic dystopian world ruled by a single nation under one authoritarian government, controlled entirely by powerful chaebols known as High Chaebols—corporate conglomerates that own everything from infrastructure to information. Society is plagued by rampant crime: narcotics, human trafficking, mass murder, kidnapping, and unspeakable atrocities. At the heart of the chaos are vicious outlaw factions and criminal syndicates known collectively as the Sinners—masterminds of terror and destruction. Their brutal massacres have pushed civilisation to the brink, turning once-safe cities into warzones. Though the Special Security Counter Bureau Force (SSCBF) was established to contain the threat, their efforts have fallen short. The streets remain perilous. Justice feels like a relic of the past. Amid the decay, a lone figure emerges: Agent-90—a notorious and deadly assassin, emotionless yet precise. Neither hero nor villain, he operates outside in shadows where the law doesn’t work properly, targeting the Sinners and outlaws who endanger the fragile balance of society. In a world that has lost its moral compass, Agent-90 may be its final reckoning.

"You can outrun many things, but fate will always find you, like your shadow in the light." . In the heart of Washington D.C., mafia heir Vaughn Volkov is on a mission that takes him far from the sun-soaked streets of California. The bustling city, with its imposing monuments and corridors of power, is a far cry from the palm-lined avenues of his home. Vaughn, however, is not one to be easily intimidated. His piercing blue eyes and commanding presence turn heads wherever he goes, a reminder that beneath his polished exterior lies a man accustomed to danger and control. Vaughn's path crosses with Eliza Monroe, a seemingly innocent college student whose gentle demeanor masks a resilience forged from her own turbulent past. Eliza, with her kind heart and determined spirit, is an enigma. She spends her days buried in books at the library, her nights working part-time to make ends meet. Her brown eyes, often hidden behind a cascade of dark curls, hold a depth that Vaughn finds both intriguing and unsettling. Their first encounter is anything but ordinary. Vaughn watches, intrigued by her fearlessness and the fire in her eyes. "You're not like the others," he remarks later, cornering her in the quiet corner of the library. His voice is a low, dangerous purr that sends shivers down Eliza's spine. "And you're not just the student here," she retorts, meeting his gaze with a mixture of curiosity and caution. "What do you want from me?" Vaughn's lips curve into a slow, dangerous smile. "Maybe I just want to get to know you." Despite her reservations, Eliza feels a strange pull towards Vaughn. His presence is intoxicating, a blend of danger and allure that she finds hard to resist. As they spend more time together, Eliza begins to see glimpses of the man beneath the mafia heir. Vaughn, too, finds himself drawn to Eliza in ways he never anticipated. Her kindness, her strength, and her unyielding spirit ignite something within him that he thought long buried. Yet, as their connection deepens, the shadows of their pasts loom ever larger. Vaughn's family business, shrouded in crime and violence, is never far from his mind. His enemies are ruthless, and his association with Eliza puts her squarely in their crosshairs. Eliza, too, harbors secrets. The dark forces that have shaped her life threaten to consume her, and Vaughn's world only amplifies those dangers.

Dina, an intersex, with a second personality that was obsessed with a man who would rather have nothing to do with her, longed for death every passing day of her life. Her stalkerish behavior was finally exposed, and her social life, the only thing she had going, crumbled. Standing on the edge of the cliff, she looked up into the sky and muttered what would be her last words: “If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?” She chuckled. Guess she'd never know. . . . “Welcome, Geraldina, to The Bureau of Souls.” The man spoke words she had only ever heard in fiction. He spoke of transmigration. He spoke of capturing the heart of another. He promised to give her freedom. He promised that even during the duration of her ‘job,’ she would have her free will. He promised… to get rid of it. In exchange for her soul. She agreed. Despite everything, she still had a question she wanted an answer to. [If I stabbed you, would you bleed ink?] Extra: — This novel will be completely free from beginning to end, so dear readers, please support me with comments and ratings! Please! — While there may or may not be Patreon deals, they won’t ever place free readers at a disadvantage. I promise not to be greedy! — I'm always open to suggestions from my readers, so tell me anything you want to see~. — You can read the first version, This Transmigration Seems Somewhat Strange, but it’s a bit of a mess and will be vastly different from this one. — Serious themes will be explored here, and I’ll handle each with care. Just know: the MC isn’t exactly a good person—she’s desperate, and that desperation will show. — The main character’s gender is... ambiguous, yet very clear. Although she’s intersex, she is female— but transmigrates as male. I’ll alternate between “she” and “he”: “she” for the MC herself, and “he” for the identities she possesses. Don’t worry, I’ll try my best not to leave you too confounded. ENJOY! And do demand more! As an author, it's my ultimate pleasure to please yah!

When a catastrophic natural disaster struck California, I felt compelled to help and noticed a relief fund being heavily promoted by several influencers. Trusting their endorsements, I decided to donate 5 ETH, approximately $12,000 at the time, believing my contribution would genuinely support those in need. However, months later, I discovered that the charity was a complete scam. The wallet associated with the relief fund had drained all donations, including mine.

Synopsis In a world where ancient sigils can bend reality, the price of power is your sanity. Adrian Dorne was just another curious student in the great city of Valeria, until a forbidden book marked him with a sigil—a symbol of forgotten power that should never have been touched. Now, secret cults, government occult forces, and terrifying creatures hunt him through the foggy streets of an alternate 18th-century world where nightmares bleed into reality. Guided by the distant and cold Elara Vance, and the mysterious former occult officer Gregor Malchior, Adrian must learn to master the sigils before they consume his mind… or before the Crimson Bureau finds him. But the deeper he goes, the more his lost memories resurface—memories that may reveal he wasn’t an ordinary boy at all.

Weewooweewoo! As the latest agent recruited by the Bureau of Paranormal Activity, Catheris Orial–suffice to say–is NOT having a swell time being dragged around. His mentor is kind of a deadbeat; he has to wake up way too early; it's obviously not fun getting jumped on the job; and oh… oh that damned partner of his…! Catheris never asked for any of this–in fact he didn't want the job in the first place; he was already a tailor. Rather, he was forced into this by an unexpected roommate. He knew that moving to a new place would bring along some uncertainties and surprises, but having a demon was NOT what he had in mind. It’d never show itself and would fuck up his kitchen for whatever petty reason. He didn't care about that, why would he? He found it a tad bit amusing–until its behavior had a drastic change. He found himself having episodes: clawing at his neck, unable to breathe. Suddenly, he’d wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, chest tight before he’d notice the wetness on his cheeks–crying searing hot ink again. The most jarring thing was how it’d appear in his liminal dreams. He wasn't the paranoid type, but he wasn't stupid–it was all real. That’s when he unfortunately met Detective Mr. Beo, who offered him a deal–either suffer, or let the government study him. Unfortunately, said detective is also his partner. But… the other coworkers aren't so bad. In conclusion the man is fucked, literally and metaphorically.
