Your insides will  throb at the sound of my voice" he growled as he sucked on my bare skin. "I'd rather die" I spat. "Death will never stop me" he boasted aloud.

During this Chosing Ritual, one of the ladies in the village would be chosen to be the dreaded Dragon King's Bride. No one knew exactly why the ritual was being performed every year or what happened to the brides that had been chosen in the past. Was he turning them into slaves? Feeding them to his dragon? Or was he... feeding on them? That couldn't be ruled out. After all, there were rumours that the king wasn't like them, that he wasn't human. Yet the question relentlessly troubled the people's heart. What was he using them for?! But they dared not question the King, afraid of what fate daring to go against him would be. Anyways, none of these was Belladonna's business. Although it was her village's turn to produce a bride this year, she was certain she wouldn't get chosen. Why? Well, because she had a plan and she was absolutely certain it wouldn't fail her... or would it? *** Note - This novel contains mature content. - Cover isn't mine. Full credit to the artist.

Kai of the Sorcerer's Tower is one of the last mages left, barely surviving in a world ruled by creatures of the dark — where the era of mages ended, and most of the lands got contaminated with dead mana. To save his world and fulfil his master's last wish, he put himself through a forbidden ritual, risking his soul being ripped into pieces to make his way into the past. In an era with abundant mana — an era yet to enter the Golden Era of Magic. Things go wrong, of course, as they always do, and he finds himself thousands of years before the world fell to mana contamination — in the body of a young lord, Arzan. All is not well, though, as the young lord was murdered by someone and he had a beast wave to protect his territory from before moving to larger threats as well trying to get back his former strength in a world where magic techniques and technology is primitive.

Thirteen years later, Wei Wuxian is reborn. Summoned by a young man who sacrificed his soul in a forbidden ritual, Wei Wuxian is now bound to seek vengeance on the stranger's behalf or risk the destruction of his own soul.

A vast world divided into warring kingdoms and empires, each with deep-rooted conflicts stemming from an ancient mythical war. Hidden within the shadows of this world is a secret order, “The Silent Tribunal,” who manipulate events behind the scenes, delivering cryptic judgments that shape history. A powerful and sinister sect, “The Veil of Ash,” seeks to summon an ancient dark force sealed away centuries ago. Their enigmatic leader, known only as The Faceless Harbinger, gathers devoted followers through a mix of prophecy, manipulation, and eerie rituals marked by symbols of intertwining flames and eyes. The world’s magic system, Eidolon Weaving, allows only those attuned to the ethereal Veil to manipulate reality—at a terrible cost. Every spell requires a personal sacrifice, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, leading mages to walk a thin line between power and destruction.

Once a nameless human slave, Yur’s existence was defined by blood, pain, and chains—until he stumbled into Zulmasharr, the realm of demons. In the depths of despair, a near-death encounter unlocked the horrifying truth of his existence: he is no mere mortal. A cursed hybrid of human and demon, Yur’s survival was only possible through the fiery rebirth of his Ashkavaal bloodline and the awakening of his sinister cultivation system, Zul. With Zul, Yur can rear demons for rituals, harvest their power, and dominate the cruel, chaotic world around him. But freedom comes at a cost. As the unwitting successor to a forgotten being, his every step is shadowed by the weight of a destiny he neither asked for nor desires. Yur craves only one thing: to stay free, unbound by gods, demons, or men. Yet his growing power and fractured bloodline ignite the interest of forces that would see him enslaved or destroyed. Yur must navigate a world of horrors where trust is a weakness, survival is war, and his very existence is a weapon. Blood will spill, flames will rise, and demons will kneel—or die. But in the end, is freedom even possible for the bearer of a bloodline forged from fire and ash? Will Yur conquer his fate—or will it enslave him?

There is no fairness in this world, a harsh truth Kyoji Renn learned the hard way. Abandoned by his parents at a young age and then seemingly by the gods themselves at sixteen during his Blessing Ritual—a rite of passage all youths undertake to awaken their powers—Kyoji came to accept this bitter reality. Vowing not to let this define him, Kyoji dedicated himself to finding power on his own terms. He wouldn't wait for the gods to bestow their gifts; he would seize power himself. Anything he wanted, he would achieve through his own efforts. Thus began Kyoji's quest for power. He immersed himself in research, tirelessly seeking a way to gain strength. Ten years later, just as he believed he was on the verge of a breakthrough, disaster struck. An accident in his research facility resulted in his death. But death wasn't the end. He found himself inexplicably transported back in time to the moment of his failed Blessing Ritual, a sixteen-year-old once more, standing within the Temple of the Gods. This time, however, he succeeded, awakening a new talent: the power of time manipulation. As if that weren't enough, Kyoji realized that the knowledge from his past life's research had returned with him. He had developed a unique energy, which allows him to embody both Faith and Chaos energy. With this newfound power and knowledge, Kyoji set out on a journey, soon realizing its complexities were far beyond what he had initially envisioned.

The world is separated into three realms: Aegaryn, Terranis, and Abyssion. Terranis and Abyssion realms have been in disharmony as the Demon King of Abyssion aims to overthrow all the other realms.

But he is given a golden opportunity of a lifetime as he is transmigrated into a hyena. Guided by a mysterious system that helps him unlock his boundless potential, he evolves with each rank upgrade, a feat no one of his kind has ever known. His journey is one of transformation, both in form and spirit. Each evolution brings new powers and challenges as he is summoned into deadly wars, cruel betrayals, and battles that threaten the very balance of the realms. Along his journey, he meets a summoner whose kindness and ideals are a stark contrast to all the summoners that he had met previously. Unlike the others, she treated him differently. Gave him a name. Through her, he begins to question his path, torn between his primal instincts and the flickering remnants of his humanity. But as the Demon God stirs in the shadows, threatening to collapse the realms into chaos, he must rise to face his ultimate destiny. To protect those who matter, to shatter the chains of servitude, and to ascend to the pinnacle of power—Ash must embrace his boundless evolution and become a force unlike any the realms have ever seen.

Humans hunt beast-folk. Beast-folk hunt humans. Three words mark the difference between dying and surviving: stalk, strike, survive. Bran knew the hunter's silver arrows from the prey's side. Felt them punch through pack-mate flesh. Watched his wolf-kin fall. Then came the Hunter in Black. The blood ritual. The burning. The transformation stripped his fur. His fangs. Left him raw in human skin. A beast-kin turned human. Now he hides among humans. Hunts for the guild. Climbs their ranks. Uses beast-knowledge to fill graves. Each kill brings fragments back - black robes, carved runes, Ariana's final scream. Power grows in his bones. Wild. Hungry. Like the Beast Kings of old. The choice claws at him: be the protector his kind desperately needs, or surrender to the blood-thrill singing in his new veins and live the life of a beast master. A human beast master. Either way, someone bleeds. --- Human vs beast fights? Yes. High personal stakes? Yes. Well developed side characters? Yes. A little smut? Yes, but only when it makes sense. Weak to strong? Yes.

Eren Valten era un joven guerrero de élite, elegido para participar en un ritual de teletransporte destinado a salvar a su reino. Sin embargo, algo salió terriblemente mal.

“Evil God of the Universe, You are in every space and time. Present in every dimension of reality and govern the darkness of our world. Oh, almighty Atticus! Hear our plea and grant us your presence tonight, awaken my Lord!” The rain had completely stopped and the strong gale had subsided into the fading raindrops. The night had turned eerily silent and only the sizzling and cackling of the fire entered their ears. Suddenly, they all felt like floating from their feet despite setting foot on the watery, hard ground, as if they were traversing into space. The darkness of the night gradually turned darker, enveloping them, morphing into everyone, like a void eating them slowly. Sequentially, their breathing turned oddly slower. Despite exaggeratedly inhaling air to breathe, it was to no avail, as if a higher entity was limiting them from breathing. Nolan felt his throat and tried to open his mouth to gasp more air but failed. Everyone but him was in a state of indignation and panic as they struggled to breathe to fill their lungs with air. Nolan tried to calm his heart. He closed his eyes and stopped inhaling air in pure panic, instead, he put his heartbeat and breathing into a rhythm. It was hard at first, but after a minute, he found his breathing gradually went stable. His whole being was in pure anticipation of what was going to happen next. After a couple more minutes, the storm completely subsided, the night turned to normal. Nolan remained standing, taking in his surroundings with his eyes closed. Everything turned silent. The eerie atmosphere and the crackling of the fire from the hay figure didn’t even enter his ears. Nolan waited for a couple more minutes, his breathing turning normal. He was reluctant to open his eyes, afraid he might ruin their ritual. “It’s alright now, Young Master. You can open your eyes now.” Nolan’s breathing hitched. He jolted on his feet as he fluttered his eyes open. “Atticus? W-why are you here?” The butler, standing in front of him, a raincoat hung on his arm, smiled. “I am everywhere, Young Master, in order to best serve you.” **** Atticus, a demi-god from the underworld, was cast out of his parents' realm and banished to the human world. The reason? He had yet to give them any grandchildren. Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction and is purely the product of my imagination.

We were a peaceful people living in harmony with nature in the vast lands of Lyréanor, but this peace was short-lived when our people were defeated by the dark elves, an ancient people even older than this world. It is said that they arrived in Lyréanor by boat and since their arrival, chaos has been unleashed. Proud of their obscure power, derived from dark rituals, they have raised gigantic armies of monsters whose name is synonymous with terror: ‘Obscurus’. They went on the rampage, and everywhere they went the grass didn't grow back, life died and disintegrated. Seven, there were seven. The seven dark elves known as the Lords of the Apocalypse. A single gesture from them was enough to strike us all down, a single gesture from one of them was enough to decimate us in blood and terror. And as I, Foster, contemplate the macabre scene before me, the bloodied and deformed bodies of my fellow elfes beings, and as death grips my soul, a strange sign appeared before me. [Ding...

What if you needed the pain to discover the truth you were born for? These were my words when I left that hideous path This was the result of rituals and plans woven by the tyrants of the Church, who wove a fate that bound me to a path that I could neither escape nor understand. Can I escape from the chains of the past? Everything becomes reversed, as the beginning was the beginning of the end. He lived in a strange, dark world, full of shadows that became a part of him, and in the end he disappeared as he began, just a shadow in an infinite world.

A ritual gone horribly wrong granted him the world's deadliest Class—and now, all he craves is vengeance. Zeth stole the most forbidden ritual magic from a deranged cultist, seizing a Class powered by the blood of his enemies and dark sacrifices. A power so dangerous, its mere use is punishable by an agonizing death. Now, he faces a grim decision: live a life of constant hiding, evading those who would hunt him, or embrace the unholy power and become the hunter, driven to avenge the friends stolen from him by a murderer. For Zeth, the choice is clear. His enemies must die. With every drop of blood spilled, every eldritch ritual invoked, and every demon summoned, he will exact his revenge. Nothing will stand in his way.
