She was floating.. no, hanging! On what?! She struggled to get back on her feet but was pulled into something so.. hard and warm. And It smelt so damn good... She tried looking back to see what was holding her but the 'thing' wasn't having it. She looked down to see a very large pair of strong and hairy arms, wrapped around her torso, sending jolts of unexpected pleasure to her nether region. "Let me go, you dumb brute!!" She screamed, squirming in his arms, trying to slip out of his unyielding grip but stopped when she realized his grip was getting tighter. "What is this?! Tell him I do not want him! I reject mphh..." Her words were cut off by one of the men surrounding her. "I'll only release you so long as you promise to listen to 'us'." The man holding her said. Who were the 'us' he mentioned? They were none other than the three sons of the Alpha. And I... Who was suddenly caught by them, was an Omega. They wanted to talk, huh? Well, so be it. There was only so much an Omega like her could do anyway. "Fine," she said, relaxing her stance. "But you have to give me some space. Please," "Not a chance, princess," he said, his face bearing a smug that made her sigh in annoyance. "Fine," she said and he relaxed his grip on her, giving her a chance to at least stand to her feet. As soon as she stood firmly on her feet, she looked up at all three of them and the most crazy thing happened. She heard her wolf purr in her mind. 'MATE' What? ************ Bethany Sage. Your average everyday Omega, had never really liked her average, mediocre life. She loved the peace but had always been one to love more..

Ethan didn't want much in life; a clean, happy home, a good family…and maybe a wife when he came of age. Born in the branch family of the Ashborn family, he lived a fairly comfortable life; one that also entailed sneaking out at night to visit brothels. All was well. Till it happened. Then, everything changed. Including him. From the day he woke up bathed in blood and debris, in some dark shadowy incinerator, he knew what to do. A simple Path. To hunt down those who had exterminated his clan. The House of the Ashborn. But like all things bound by Fate, it didn't go as planned. The Spirit within awoke, surprised to be alive as well, inside a broken kid host. Surely, it won't be ecstatic to find itself awakened in a little host. (Un)Fortunately, that changed everything. That power will always continue to draw attention, because behind the shadows of that power, lies a legacy too dark to ignore. Dark enough to consume him. Will Ethan's hate transform him into an Embodiment that will spell doom for both Divinities and Mortals? Or would he choose to stay human and forge a path before everything is lost? And even if he does go on with his plan, after revenge…what next? His story is not that of a villain, neither is it that of a hero. It's just a tale of a kid bearing a crushing burden than he should.

[Mature Content: NO RAPE] Let’s make a deal! “Two months, if we can survive each other in the period of two months, I will marry you without objection!” … Twenty-two-year-old Evelyn Darkwood never imagined that going to her late father’s will-reading would have resulted in a rivalry between her and her siblings. That they would become a danger to her—one who sought after her life.  She never thought that her life would take such a twisted turn so quickly. And what’s worse, she comes to find out that she’d been betrothed to a man she didn’t know and had never met.  Zayne Mancini. The wealthiest man. A man whose power and fame were no joke. A man who possibly could be the only one capable of protecting her.  Strong, cold, frightening, all this he was and despite the danger written all over him, Evelyn felt a strange connection, hot and burning.  Zayne Mancini wanted her—his betrothed (a human who was his mate) and he was going to make her his, no matter how stubborn she wanted to be about it.  Fascinating, thrilling, all this she was to him—like a spark to ignite his boring life. Evelyn Darkwood was a whole package that he was slowly going to bring undone.  A woman he wouldn’t think twice of burning the world for. A woman he would give his whole being to. All she had to say was, “I do”

Death, impotence, and suffering, after living through this would you take an offer of becoming a "hero"? Can broken souls create healthy times? when a Mexican soldier saw himself against this question he knew deep inside the answer as a world of beasts, magic, elves, and demons unfolded before him. Author notes: this is a personal project, I would love feedback but I am not good at writing nor have much free time to write hence time between chapters might vary. I am trying to pick the known trope of humans isekaid to a fantasy world where they would become heroes but I will give it my all to create a complex and mature story worth reading with this common trope.

WARNING! MATURE CONTENT! An accident changed everything for Stella Marquez, an Omega—when a mysterious Alpha named Lukas Monteverde forcibly marked her. The council's decree was clear: once marked, they must be married, fated mate or not. Bound by this law, they were thrust into a forced cohabitation, turning Stella's world upside down as she had to sever ties with her ex. Living together ignited an undeniable connection. The mark heightened their senses—each overwhelmed by the other's pheromones, burning with an insatiable thirst for one another. What began as rejection and resistance to their instincts slowly unraveled into understanding, then something deeper—love. Reluctantly, they opened their hearts to one another. "If I let you free, would you still choose him… or me?"

What happens if the one transcendent being that cares for mortals fell and got a second chance in a world full of magic, intrigue and possibly even friendships? Does the past determine the future or are we all able to pick our own destiny? An angel, one of the two nigh immortal species in existence, has been hunted and killed by his own kind because he wasn’t prepared to watch silently while his people followed their own desires to whatever end. When, against all odds, he opened his eyes again, he was someone else, his past and powers hidden deep within him. On an ancient world, with advanced magic but medieval technology, he was reborn as Cassandra Pendragon, the youngest daughter of one of the five royal families on Boseiju, the home of the fox tribe, the kitsune. As she grew up, who she was and who she had been, started shaping her future. Forgotten friends and unknown enemies began knocking at her door and while she struggled to find her way between the past and the present, the winds of war were already blowing across her home. I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.

Lust, a great sin fallen into poverty after losing his followers, descends to Earth in hopes of collecting sin points to restore his power.Becoming an idol seems like a decent job to earn points. Unfortunately, the idol world turns out to be far more exhausting than leading humans astray!
