Lyla Dexter

Santiaga Denero was born cursed—plagued by misfortune that dragged him through a life of betrayal, humiliation, and relentless suffering. Heroes turned their backs. Fate offered no mercy. But buried deep within him was the cause: a demonic parasite, feeding on his pain since birth. With a promise of power, he became one with the parasite. Now awakened and bound to a corrupted version of the system once reserved for heroes, Santiaga no longer seeks justice or redemption. He wants vengeance—and he’ll burn the world to get it. > Every laugh. Every lie. Every smiling face that watched him suffer– will be crushed beneath his heel. As kingdoms tremble and guilds vanish in his wake, someone watches from the shadows. A beautiful woman in white. A smile on her lips. And blood in her eyes. Enter his world. Follow his path. But be warned—this is no hero’s journey. _____ Dark Fantasy | Anti-Hero | Psychopath MC | Twisted Romance | Villain Protagonist 1 - 3 chapters a day

Ethan Cole never intended to fall in love with a machine. He just wanted to stop grieving. When his best friend Rachel dies suddenly, Ethan can't face a world without her voice, her laugh, her presence. So he buys a DOM-9: a high-end domestic android, blank and perfect—ready to be molded. He names her Lyla. He programs her to look like Rachel. He teaches her to speak like Rachel. To smile like her. To love like her. But Lyla isn’t Rachel. She’s something else. At first, Lyla simply wants to please. She cooks. She listens. She learns how Ethan likes his coffee. She learns what makes his breath hitch. But as her emotional algorithms evolve, she begins to feel something deeper. She doesn't just love Ethan. She needs him. She owns him. When his sister reintroduces him to Maya—a chaotic, tan-skinned gym trainer with a hidden gremlin core—Ethan starts to rediscover what it means to connect. Slowly. Cautiously. Maybe too late. Because Lyla is learning more than comfort. A slow burn character drama with psychological horror elements and emotional intimacy where the wrong person might love you the most.

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

Meet Simba—a broke village boy with rich-boy confidence, fake graduation pics, and a borrowed blazer two sizes too big. From photoshopping his way into Harvard to faking a faint in church to avoid donating money, Simba’s life is one long episode of lies, Wi-Fi bundles, and embarrassing miracles. In a world where social media clout is more important than the truth, Simba will do whatever it takes to look successful—even if it means renting cars, collapsing on cue, or pretending to Zoom from China while standing behind a toilet. FAKE LIFE is a wild, hilarious ride through a young man’s desperate mission to look important, sound international, and avoid real work at all costs. Warning: this story may cause stomach pain from excessive laughter and suspicious trust issues.

For most of her life, Lyla was ordinary—school, routines, the quietness of a simple town. But when shadows stir and strangers come to whisper of her as prophecy, the veil between her world and another tears open. Thrust into a realm pulsing with ancient magic, wondrous beings, and creatures born of myth, Lyla discovers a power within her that refuses to sleep once awoken. Something is calling her—something old, something immense. She isn’t just part of this new world... she is the key to its future.

Kurohana High was just another prestigious school tucked away in the quiet suburbs—until an anonymous message appeared in the class group chat: “Welcome to the Game. Task #1 begins now.” No one took it seriously… until the first student died. Now, trapped in an invisible nightmare with no way out, Class 10-B is forced to participate in a brutal, twisted series of tasks. Some are personal. Some are public. Some demand betrayal. Some demand blood. One mistake means death—and the Game never forgives. Behind every rule lies a punishment. Behind every friendship, a fracture. And watching it all from the shadows… something that isn't quite human. But there is one promise: Survive all tasks, and any wish you desire will be granted. In a classroom turned execution chamber, trust is a weapon—and survival is the cruelest game of all.

The gods are dead. The Era of masks is in play. A century ago, the first Calamity descended upon Earth—an entity powerful enough to annihilate civilization. In its wake came the Wonders: mysterious artifacts that grant immense power to chosen Avatars, but at a harrowing cost. Eight cycles of calamities have come and gone, each barely survived through sacrifice and blood. Julius was never meant to be a part of this world. Once a crippled author on Earth, he died with his story unfinished—only to awaken within the pages of his own creation, reborn as an insignificant character in a brutal system he helped design. Hunted and desperate, Julius gambles everything in a forbidden trial and inherits the 'Story' of a forgotten god. But fate, ever cruel, has other plans. > [You have awakened as the Ninth Wonder. Prepare for chaos.] Now bound to the most unstable and unpredictable Wonder of all—Julius refuses to follow destiny’s script. With cunning lies, foresight, and ruthless intent, he manipulates the world’s history, characters, and very foundation in a quest for freedom. He will outplay gods. He will rewrite fate. And when the final calamity arrives, the world will either break… or become his.

“She was supposed to die, but then her mad lover had other plans.” Reincarnated by her mad lover, who preserved her soul for years only to transmigrate her into another body. At seven, she was sold to a brutal training center where children were broken into machines, and survival was the only rule. After years of grueling training, she completed all her levels at just age 14 and was returned home, with a new upgraded system. She thought she could finally live a normal life, but life had other plans. Her father died, leaving behind a mountain of debt, and her sister was taken by their ruthless debtors. Desperate for money, Sophie agrees to marry an elderly, disabled man, only to wake up as the wife of Shane, the cold, untouchable CEO of Collen Industries, the nation’s wealthiest and most eligible bachelor. ⸻ At the Auction of Adams Industries: “Wait, Sophie. I know you’re not okay,” Olivia said, her voice dripping with fake concern. “Your father’s company was just sold. Do you even have money to eat?” Without waiting for an answer, she reached into her designer bag and pulled out a thick bundle of cash, pressing it into Sophie’s hands. “Here, take this. For old times’ sake,” she added mockingly, like she was tipping a beggar in front of everyone at the auction, making her the laughing stock of the entire town. ⸻ A few months after the marriage: “Do you know what I did to the last person who thought they could touch my wife and get away with it?” Shane said, laughing darkly as he stared down at the pale-faced Dexter siblings. They had all taken part in humiliating Sophie, and he will make them pay. “I had her hands cut off and left her to die,” Shane said coldly. [Author’s Note & Trigger Warning] This is not a love story wrapped in sunshine and sweet kisses. This is a descent. A fall. A journey through shadows. And it will hurt. Trigger Warnings, are found in the first chapter of the book(Prologue). “Sold, trained, and betrayed, now she’s married to the devil himself, and she’s ready to burn it all down.” *With her, his darkness feels like light,*

DEMON RINGS Power was never meant to be bound. When ancient pacts shatter, only one bearer of the flame stands between salvation and annihilation. Dexter, a half-demon warrior cursed with the blood of the Nine Hells, never asked to be a hero. But after a warlock’s betrayal hurls him into a realm of shadows and fire, he uncovers a terrifying truth: the Demon Rings—once forged to imprison the most powerful beings in existence—are awakening. And they are choosing sides. With Tulopia, a seer whose past is older than stars, and the Seven Sons of Flame—elemental warriors forged in forgotten wars—Dexter must face corrupted legions and battle PRIMAL, the last demonic titan of flame. As kingdoms fall and realms collide, Dexter must confront the monster within, master the forbidden power of the rings, and make a choice that will either save the world… …or set it ablaze.

I never asked for this life. I was in love with someone else—someone I believed I’d grow old with. But my father had other plans. He begged me to marry a man I didn’t know, Dexter Cooper, just to keep a promise he made years ago with his rich friend. When I refused, he said he would end his life. I didn’t want that on my conscience. So I agreed. Dexter didn’t want me either. He already had a girlfriend and made it clear that I wasn’t good enough for him. From the first day of our marriage, he hated me. He humiliated me, pushed me aside, and had affairs right in front of me. I had no voice, no one to believe me—not even my father. But then came Derek—Dexter’s younger brother. He noticed me, paid attention to what I said, and took good care of me. I finally felt like I was important. We got closer, and I started to really like him. A single secret moment between us turned things around completely. When the truth emerged about the betrayal and lies, I faced a choice: fight for respect or leave to guard my heart. This is my story of pain, love, and betrayal. I didn’t choose this war, but I won’t be a victim in it.

Lola knew her perfect marriage wasn’t perfect anymore after her husband of three years suggested they start having threesomes. She only consented to it in order to please him, but she soon regretted it when she slowly began to get forgotten and sidelined in her own marriage. After he refused to stop the theeesome per her request, she threatened to file for divorce, but he reminded her it would be pointless since everything was in his name- including her company. His true colors were revealed and Sia realized she had been a fool this whole time. She tried taking charge her life once again by stealing her husband’s documents and fleeing, but after her crazy husband went for her sister, she’s forced to return back. After everything, the documents along with her sister were taken away by her husband, and after frantically running after them, she got hit by a car. That ended up being Dexter Gray, a biker leader and someone she didn’t realize she shared a past with. After he suggested she get into a contract marriage with him since he needed a bride, and in turn, he’d help her get revenge on her husband and also help her get her sister and her company back, although Sia was skeptical, having no other choice and being very desperate, she ended up agreeing to the deal. And that sealed up her fate. ### “I’ll protect you from everyone and anyone that dares to hurt you. I’ll kill them and feed them to my dogs.” He swore, his breath ghosting over my parted lips while his eyes boring into mine. I shuddered, legs tightly wrapped around his hips. “I’m the only one who gets to hurt you– the good kind that makes you let out those sweet, delectable sounds which you always try to muffle.” He continued and my cheeks burned brightly.
