It is not my native language so I might make a few grammar mistakes and such. I proof read to try to keep that to a minimum but somethings I still miss even after proof reading. I am not great at writing hentai staff so I try to keep it to a minimum. There are hentai scenes obviously but mostly the coitus is implied or will simply lead up to the coitus and SKIP the actual coitus. The attitude of the MC is significantly altered as the story progresses. Leading to him becoming more ruthless and cunning. Also this novel is available on my patreon page for early chapters. You can read ahead by up to 25 chapters. patreon.com/ImperialFantasies is the link]

In a world ravaged by a catastrophic virus that has rendered animal meat toxic to consume, humanity teeters on the brink of survival. The infection drives the government to legalize cannibalism as the only viable source of sustenance, and the rich, safely protected behind their wealth, cling to a fleeting hope of veganism as a luxury. Meanwhile, the lower class is forced to scavenge for scraps, to hunt the fallen, and to survive at any cost.

Without warning, the bright rays of the sun dimmed, and the air grew unnaturally cold, a stark contrast to Singapore's usual tropical warmth. Above them, a massive portal appeared, looming ominously in the sky. "What is that?" From the portal, monsters of all kinds—serpents, beasts, goblins, and dragons—began to fall. The streets turned into a chaotic battlefield, the monsters rampaging everywhere. Screams and cries permeated the air, blood splattering across the once pristine road. It was like hell on earth. "MOM! DAD!" Jagger screamed, his voice cracking with anguish and despair. [Congratulations, you are a hunter!] "I will kill them all!" he promised, the words a fierce oath as they left his lips, his soul burning with an inferno of hatred and vengeance.

“Happy Christmas Eve!” chuckled the old man as he strapped a watch around Misha’s wrist. “Have a nice trip.” The next morning, the 25-year-old Misha woke up with a pounding headache, sore muscles, and strong nausea. In short, the perfect hangover. But when he saw his reflection in the mirror, he soon realized that the pain wasn’t caused by the terrifying amount of alcohol he had drunk the previous day. His body had shrunk. A lot. He didn’t have the time to think too much about it since his mother suddenly erupted in his room - the next day, his sister did the same thing. Mother and sister who had died a long time ago. The old man wasn't crazy. As he had predicted, Misha did travel back in time, just before losing his loved ones. And so, Misha had now one mission: changing the dreadful fate of his mother and sister and sending away his sister’s boyfriend by all means. They had to break up! Like it or not, that man will bring disaster to the family sooner or later. This time, Misha wouldn't fall for that warm smile and those gentle eyes as he knew they were hiding a cold, insensitive personality. However, things weren’t as simple as he thought, and perhaps the sister’s boyfriend was not the enemy. Perhaps, since the beginning, he had everything wrong and knew nothing of his sister. ________________ *The BL will mostly show up in the second and third volumes. It is a very slow romance, so don't expect the protagonist to fall in love quickly. In the first volume, he has too much on his mind to care about love and such. *There will be contents for 18+ in the second and/or third volume. I will put a warning at the beginning of every NSFW chapter. P@treon: https://www.patreon.com/rsvaesen?fan_landing=true

Einstein made the whole world marvel when he was able to prove that there existed a relationship between matter and energy, he made the discovery of the law of relativity and stated that energy in mathematical relationship was equal to the product of mass multiplied by the speed of light squared ( E= MC^2). Thus, with quantum physics the possibilities indeed existed where energy could be converted to matter and matter reconverted back to energy, this make it possible for the existence of teleportation machines that can convert matter to energy and send or transmit this energy through portals or gateways into other dimensions then reconvert this energy transmitted back to the original form of matter initially transmitted. If this can be achieved in science and technology today, then the issue or complexities of space and time travel could be unraveled. This scientific leap could bridge the gap between space and time travel across galaxies in the universe with reference to the time frame being shrink to non-existence. A possibility... Mr. Tolen had lost his job for sometime as a family man with a wife and four kids; Charley, Pete, Jenny and Mary from the city of Zinatano.

They had lost Charley to the cold hands of death not to long after discovering the land. Pete and Jenny were left to face the almost on ending challenges that confronted them in the land. They had come to realize that all statues found in the land came to life when touched; some were deadly enemies while others were friends who would offer their help at the request of the Pete and Jenny. Every attempt to escape outside the land led them deeper into the land; this made it almost an impossible task finding an escape route. While the three Tolen’s had gone missing for some time, Mr. Tolen had engaged the service of the city police of Zinatono where he had worked as a police officer on a search for his missing three kids. This herculean task eventually took him into the neighboring city of Kalkulta, it was on one of this trips while returning his vehicle had a ghastly accident and led to his death. Their search led them to discovering that the intricacies about the land and secretes that would serve as clues for their escape. The discovery of short cut paths using teleportation machines and colored arrows that led to several chambers, stock with gold and deadly statues which came alive when touched and attacked its victims eventually killing them.

Jenny Anderson has always been the forgotten daughter, lost in the shadow of her father's wealth and the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsister. While her father built his business empire, Jenny endured years of neglect and maltreatment, becoming the family's scapegoat for their own failures and frustrations. Her quiet resilience was her only shield, but everything changes when her father's empire faces financial ruin, and the only way out is an unthinkable arrangement: marrying her off to Richard Logard, a billionaire shrouded in darkness and fear. Richard Logard is no ordinary billionaire. Known in the business world as ruthless and unfeeling, rumors swirl that he’s a devil in human form—a man whose fortune is as mysterious as his past. He’s feared by many, respected by few, and loved by none. When Jenny is thrust into his world, she expects nothing but cold indifference or worse. After all, what else could come from marrying the Devil himself? But Jenny soon discovers that Richard is not what he seems. Behind his fierce gaze and imposing presence, she finds a man who is fiercely protective, attentive, and—surprisingly—gentle. He treats her like a priceless treasure, lavishing her with affection and shielding her from the very people who once mistreated her. For the first time, Jenny feels seen, valued, and cared for. However, as she starts to fall for the man everyone calls a demon, her new life of luxury and love makes her stepmother and stepsister seethe with jealousy. Yet, beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect marriage lies a web of secrets. Richard’s dark past and the real reason behind their arranged marriage begin to unravel, revealing a connection between their families that runs deeper—and darker—than Jenny ever imagined. When Jenny discovers Richard’s affair, she’s torn between the man she’s grown to love and the dangerous truths that threaten to tear them apart. As Richard’s enemies close in and his true nature begins to surface, Jenny must navigate a treacherous path filled with deceit, betrayal, and revelations that will change her world forever. Can she trust the man who has captured her heart, or is she merely a pawn in his deadly game? Jenny finds herself at a crossroads. She must decide: fight for the love she’s found or flee from a man who might be far more dangerous than the devil everyone believes him to be.
