William Chandler was a liar, a thief, and a world-class con man. He cheated banks, corporations, and the occasional war criminal—and he was damn proud of it.

Fail—and your soul is erased.” Sounds simple... until William wakes up in a world ruled by a single, brutal law: > Lifespan is currency. Every second you spend is a second closer to death. Skills cost minutes. Magic drains days. Power? That’ll take years. And William? He has 24 hours left on his clock. Armed with only his wit, a mysterious system, and a sharp tongue that gets him into more trouble than it solves, William must outthink monsters, manipulate power-hungry nobles, and survive a world where every breath comes at a price. He can’t afford to trust anyone. He definitely can’t afford to fail. And if he wants to live again… He’ll have to con death itself.

Descending from a family of powerful mages, Calem Morgrave had a bright future ahead of him, until an accident shattered his fingers in a manner that no magic could heal. And in a world where magic required your fingers to cast spells, a crippled mage was nothing but trash. Abandoned by his own blood and sold as a slave to an innkeeper, Calem lived a brutal life… until the day he found a strange scroll and a quill. This scroll possessed an undefeatable power: it could bind Calem's soul core to the soul core of other mages, stealing any spell they learn. But even worse—for them, while they try to master the spell, Calem gains instant mastery of it as soon as he claims it. There was only one problem. To bind with other mages, he must first write their names down on the scroll. That was a very difficult task for a boy with broken fingers. But every day, he forced himself to write, letter by painful letter. And once the name was complete, their Spells were his! Now, the Mage Academy and all of his family members watch in horror as the cripple they threw away instantly masters all their Spells that took them months to learn!

But Damien doesn't just want our company, he wants our complete annihilation. Every hostile bid, every stolen contract, every calculated move is designed to make us bleed. I should hate him. I do hate him. So why does every confrontation in his boardroom leave me breathless? Why does his dark gaze strip away every defense I've built? And why can't I stop thinking about the boy who once promised to protect me from everything, including himself? Damien thinks he's won. He thinks I'll surrender Sterling Industries without a fight. He's about to learn that some wars are worth dying for, and some enemies are worth burning for. In business, there are no rules. In revenge, there are no limits. But in love? There are no survivors.

A wild world full of magic, mystery, and endless adventure. In Ion'ah, nothing is ever simple. Every creature, every race, every corner of this land carries its own story, its own mark. Petals of beauty bloom side by side with shadows of danger. And still, the brave keep walking forward—adventurers who face the unknown without fear, drawn by the thrill, the wonder, and the secrets waiting to be found. This is a world born from ruin. Two thousand years ago, everything burned. What was lost then still lingers now.

He doesn’t have a name, a face, or a place in the story—except to guide others to their “happy endings.” For thousands of loops, he’s endured heartbreak, despair, and the crushing reset of the world every time something goes wrong. He’s memorized every line, every trigger, every rule: no deaths, no interference, no breaking the script. But Loop 1,204 feels different. The world isn’t punishing him for stepping off the path. Suddenly, he can change things—rewrite relationships, alter destinies, maybe even reclaim his own existence. But with freedom comes uncertainty, and the looming threat of the loop snapping shut once more. Can he finally break the cycle and find his own ending, or will the world reset around him one last, merciless time?

Corvin Blackmoor was a man carved by war and betrayal. From the blood soaked deserts of Afghanistan to the shadowed corridors of British Intelligence, he served and watched ideals crumble into lies. Patriotism. Honor. Loyalty. He buried them all long before a Quds Force assassin silenced his final breath. But death was only the beginning. Dragged from the ruins of a dying world, Corvin awakens in Valtheris. A savage world ruled by magic, where gods are myths, and survival is written in blood. He is no longer human. He is the last of the Dark Parasytes, an extinct race once so feared that every kingdom, every empire, and every mage order hunted them to extinction. Armed with Shadow Siphon, the power to replicate the strengths of others, Corvin stands alone at the bottom of an alien food chain. Weaker than a wild beast, with enemies and predators lurking in every forest, every court, every throne. Weakness is temporary, patience is eternal. In a world fractured by ancient wars, between noble Elves, scheming Demons, ruthless Humans, primal Feralis and Aetherborn Corvin will climb. He will feast. He will conquer. And in the shadows of Valtheris, the last predator will rise. No gods. No masters. Only the cold ambition of a man who has nothing left to believe in… but power itself.

Eira thought there could be nothing worse than being abducted by she-wolf traffickers, abused, tormented, and ultimately sold off to five powerful Alphas as nothing more than a breeder. She was wrong. The worst was yet to come. She was sold to the same five alphas who had ruined her life and were the reason for every torment she had gone through over the past six years. The Alphas were just as stunned to see her, yet they had no choice but to accept her for the sake of their pack’s future. Because pureblood she-wolves were nearly extinct, rare, coveted, and vital. Only they could bear the offspring of powerful Alphas, ensuring the survival and strength of the next generation. She hated them with every broken piece of her soul. And they hated her in return. The hatred was mutual. So what now? Eira made a silent vow. She would make them feel every brutal torment she had suffered. Every scar, every tear, every cry in the dark, they would taste it all. But the Alphas had plans of their own. They would use her. Breed her. And when she was no longer of use… they would kill her. But what will they do when the mysteries from the past start to uncover and lines of hatred start to fade into something else? Was it too late to regret?

After an unfortunate car accident, I was reborn in the body of a beautiful girl. The original owner had wronged a wealthy and beautiful older sister, and when the truth came to light, she had to repay her debt with her own body.

I’m just worried about your abilities." I said, having some communication difficulties. I didn’t know why she was furious, only that from that day on, life became painful.

Read at your own risk—and pleasure. Main Story ------- Gray Soliski wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t even particularly interesting. He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. Tags: SMUT • Werewolf • Reincarnation • MILFs • Fantasy • 18+ • Comedy • Action

On the day of her execution, Princess Evelyn Vexley is paraded through the streets in chains, sentenced to death by the very court she once served, and condemned for treason against the crown she was born to inherit. Then she wakes up—three days earlier—still alive, still branded a traitor, and still surrounded by enemies wearing masks of loyalty. Now trapped in a time loop, Evelyn relives her downfall again and again. Every decision, every betrayal, every dagger in the dark returns to greet her with cruel precision. But the loop isn’t perfect—the world shifts with each reset. Allies become enemies. Secrets unravel. And the man she once loved betrays her earlier with every loop. To escape the cycle, she must become something the court never saw coming: a tactician, a manipulator, a queen forged by death itself. The loop is her prison. The crown is her curse. And time is running out…
