[Sexual Content, Graphic Violence & Lemons Warning] Warning: Dark Fantasy Erotica, Dark Comedy, Ecchi Anime Humor, Gore, Horror, Dark Romance, Large Harem On the world of Yara, gods once walked among mortals—shaping mountains, summoning dragons, and weaving magic into every breath of life. Temples soared skyward, labyrinthine dungeons guarded unfathomable treasures, and glimmering phoenixes lit the night. Yet when humanity’s thirst for greater power erupted into rebellion, the divine age ended in cataclysm. The heavens fell silent, and in the void left behind, a new terror arose. From the depths of darkness the Demon Queen ascended, trailing storms of carnivorous fiends and crimson flames that decimated kingdoms. Centuries of reign honed her strength, her silver hair and scarlet-red eyes becoming legend’s darkest promise. None could stand against her might—until a hero, driven by ambition as fierce as the queen’s own, banished her into a legendary blade. Peace returned, kingdoms flourished, and secret gates to the old gods—veins of power and peril—lay waiting to be reopened. Kouki, a sharp-witted wanderer with a mysterious curse etched into his flesh, ventures into one such newly revealed dungeon. Walls hum with ancient spells, traps whisper for blood, and every step risks twisting fate itself. When he stumbles upon a stranded cat-eared girl, her frightened plea echoes in the shadowed corridors. Desperate to survive, she fumbles a spell—but Kouki’s poison-laced magic fells the half-beast assailant in a heartbeat. In her wide, jewel-bright eyes he discovers both fear and fascination, and an unexpected bond sparks between them. Together they emerge into a world bristling with hidden gates, looming gods, and echoes of divine wrath. She offers healing light to lift his curse; he brings cunning and power that could reshape their fate. As whispers of prophecy and stir new alliances form, their fates entwine in a race against time—through monster-haunted dungeons, court intrigues, and the ever-present question: who will claim the last spark of godly magic before darkness returns?

"You are my treasure, and anyone who touches you is stealing," he said, his possessiveness deep in his bones. That's why, in her past life, Lu Fengxuan ran away desperately until, on her deathbed, she came to a sudden realization. Reborn, she clung tightly to her husband's golden thigh, simultaneously tormenting scumbags and lovey-dovey couples without any delay. Dared they call her stupid, unruly, selfish, and greedy? The lord waved his hand dismissively: "Throw them all into the sea to feed the sharks!" Did they say she disrespected her elders and bullied the younger ones? The lord picked up his child, a smile of utter indulgence on his face, "I've spoiled them. Any objections?"

“Obey the system. Fulfill your purpose. Or face the consequences.” Kael was born a loyal believer in the System — a society built on structure, promise, and control. He worked hard, followed every rule, and was destined for a life of success… until a vision of his dying mother shattered everything he thought was true. When Kael chooses rebellion over comfort, red over blue, he falls from grace — losing everything the System once promised him. But in a world where failure is punished, and dreams are labeled as delusions, Kael’s fight becomes more than survival. It becomes a question of what’s real, who decides your worth, and how far you're willing to go to reclaim your truth. Now marked as a failure, Kael must rise as a warrior — or be erased. For readers who love dystopian rebellion, emotional trauma, and stories where the mind fights harder than the fists. Will Kael prove the System wrong — or will the System prove he never mattered? “Light Over Darkness” In a world ruled by obedience, Kael was the perfect follower—until his mother’s memory shattered the silence. Now hunted by the very System he once trusted, he must choose: submit to control or rise for something greater. But every choice has a cost—and some awaken a war within.

A mysterious attack of supernatural entities has brought terror in Manila. But it doesn't stop there---other regions across the Philippines soon report the sudden appearance of strange portals. These gateways have become the path for monstrous creatures bent on spreading chaos and destruction throughout the human world. The Philippine Defense Force (PDF), in collaboration with Shamans, swiftly forms a specialized unit known as Stealth. This elite group is tasked with tracking and eliminating the entities that have crossed into our realm. Among them is Irosin, an eighteen-year-old shaman who stands out---but not for his skills. Unlike the seasoned Shaman with their awe-inspiring powers, Irosin’s abilities are unimpressive, and his lack of enthusiasm is all too apparent. He didn’t join Stealth to protect others or seek glory. For him, it’s about survival. With few other options and a dire need to support himself, he sees the government’s generous salary for shamans as his only way forward.

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.

What would have been great

He has been waiting for fifteen centuries to meet his wife again. (COMPLETED) Meet Loriel Ashborn, former king of Summeria, 15-century old immortal, a doting husband, certified simp, a wife's slave. In the land where the human race lived side by side with other races like the elves, witches, and those immortal beings often calling themselves gods, lived a powerful king, Loriel Ashborn. One fatal mistake caused him to lose the woman he loved as she was sent to the future by the evil Time Master before he died. The only way to see her again is for him to take the curse of immortality, and so he did. Now, after 15 centuries, Loriel finally found her again. But she didn't remember him? Well, who cares! This time, the shameless husband would never let her go ever again. To make her remember their life together, he even faked a terminal illness with his 'dying wish' was to experience how it was like to be married. And when he *cough cough* 'miraculously' made a full recovery, he said, "Wifey, you saved my life! Now, I owe you forever. I will repay with my body." *** AUTHOR'S NOTE: In their previous life, the king felt that he was not a good husband to his wife, so this time around, he would make up to her and be the best husband she could ever hope for. You will witness a total simp, a devoted doting husband who would pamper his wife to no end and give the whole world to her. I DON'T DO SLOW BURNS. This story will have a lot of snusnu/lemon/smut and it's not advised to read if you are prudish or underage. Also, there will be magic. A lot of magic because the male lead is a 'god' and the female lead is a 'witch'.

He narrows his green eyes at me as he leans back, folding his arms across his chest, "We're really going to do this again, aren't we?" "What do you mean?" I ask, annoyed. "This little game where you pretend to hate me, when I really know you're just in love with me," he replies, smirking. I scoff and roll my eyes, "In love?" I laugh loudly, "With you? No. I loathe you." Hating Jordan Gallagher was just so easy... "It's not that I don't believe in love. I just don't think it's meant for people like me."- Jordan Gallagher “Sometimes the people who hurt us the worst are the ones we need the most.”- Elyse Gates
