As their paths converge, Stella finds herself inexplicably drawn to the very man who represents everything she despises. Will she remain true to her convictions, or will Adrian's magnetic presence shatter her defenses? Can she penetrate the armor of his ego and uncover the secrets hidden beneath his possessive façade? In this gripping tale of power, desire, and self-discovery, Stella must confront the darkness within herself and the world around her. Will she emerge victorious, or will the forces of oppression silence her forever?...."

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] The Emperor’s runaway brides have formed a rebel group of scantily clad beauties trained in honey trap techniques. Delphi Chastain is their leader, a fiery beauty with a big axe to grind and a dream of freedom she’s willing to die for. EXTRACT: ““Kiss me baby?” she breathed in her best babydoll voice. “Are you sure?” he growled. She nodded, fluttering her pretty green eyes at him. He didn’t have to be asked twice. Alton pinned her arms above her head and kissed her roughly with all of the force of the desire he was feeling. Three, two, one! she counted in her head. She bit his lip at the same time as she brought her knee up as hard as she could and kneed the man in the groin. He grunted with pain and fell sideways off her, clutching his bollocks. She leapt to her feet and sprinted off, picking up her belongings on the way past. “Thanks for saving me Commander,” she called cheerily at him as she ran away. “Sorry about the crown jewels, but I’m not going back to the palace, so I don’t need them.” Post-WW3 there’s just the Island, and it’s ruled by the Emperor. It’s back to the good old days of polygamy and keeping women covered and chaperoned. The Emperor has raised Delphi and seven other gorgeous girls in the palace to join his harem, training and surgically enhancing them, like treats in a fantasy smorgasbord. But the girls escape and sail off the Island to the uninhabited Mainland, now overrun by mutant tubiàn beasts created as weapons during the War. Hot on their tails are the Emperor’s Honour Guard. Delphi leads the Girls over, under (^_-), and through the enemy, as they battle and tame beasts and men in their struggle to build an army to take down the Empire. Can the girls survive on their own on the Mainland and build a rebel army? Are there any trustworthy men, or are they all the same? Can the Guards resist the charms of the warrior girls? Do they want to? #enemiestolovers #sexywarrior #r18 #smut #post-apocalypse #war #action #fastpaced #scifi #betrayal #revenge #beast taming #battleofthesexes

The Darkness Island Prolog: "Cepat katakan! Dimana para bawahanmu dan alasan kenapa kau menghancurkan terowongan itu!" sorak seorang polisi dengan sangat kuat sambil mencambuk seseorang yang kedua tangannya di ikat dengan rantai. "Su-sudah kubilang, aku sama sekali tidak tau apa yang kau bicarakan," jawab orang itu dengan nada lelah dan suara yang pelan. "Kau masih saja mengelak sialan!" Polisi tadi langsung mengambil pistol di pinggangnya. Dorr!! Ia tanpa ragu menembak paha kiri laki-laki itu. "Aaahh!!!" pekiknya dengan sangat kesakitan. "Cepat katakan!!" Laki-laki itu tidak merespon dan hanya menunduk kebawah dengan putus asa. Tubuhnya tampak seperti sudah tidak sanggup menerima rasa sakit lagi. "Bukankah sudah kubilang dari beberapa hari sebelumnya, saat proses interogasi dan kau berani tidur, maka kau akan merasakan ini!" teriak polisi itu masih dengan nada kuat dan sangat kesal. Ia kemudian mengambil cambuknya tadi. Lalu membakar cambuk tersebut dengan sebuah korek api. Rupanya cambuk itu dari tadi sudah terlumuri dengan minyak tanah. Begitu pula dengan seluruh bagian dada laki-laki itu yang hari ini sudah tercambuk puluhan kali. Hanya dengan sekali pukulan. Dan wuzzz!! Seluruh bagian dada laki-laki yang diikat di rantai itu langsung terbakar. "Aaackkk!!!" teriaknya dengan kesakitan dan langsung mendapatkan kembali kesadarannya. Sebelum api itu merambat sampai ke kepalanya. Ia langsung di guyur air yang berasal dari atas. Laki-laki itu menatap polisi tersebut dengan mata penuh dendam. "Bukankah aku sudah bilang! Aku tidak tau apa-apa kau Bangs*t!" ucapnya dengan sangat kesal. "Sialan! Bagaimana ini terjadi, aku hanya ingin liburan dengan keluargaku, namun semuanya hancur saat kami memasuki sebuah terowongan yang tiba-tiba saja meledak. Gara-gara kalian! Gara-gara kalian adikku dan ayahku mati di dalam terowongan itu! Aku dengan ini bersumpah. Bahwa aku akan menemukan dalang atas semua ini! Dan membalas dendam akan keluargaku!!" teriaknya di dalam hati yang langsung meronta dengan sangat kuat. Dari arah dinding sebelah kiri, tiba-tiba saja sebuah peluru bius di tembakan. Peluru itu langsung mengenai tangan kanan laki-laki itu. Yang secara perlahan membuatnya pingsan. Coming soon~ ~Higashi.

The book was written in his own blood. The answers will drown the world. Li Zhe Ran—once a prodigy of the Celestial Sword Sect—now crawls through the Crypt of Whispers, his shattered meridians leaking spiritual rot. There, he finds it: a tome stitched from the skin of dead philosophers, its pages pulsing with cursed truths. Swallowing its words to reclaim his power, Zhe Ran awakens as a living paradox. His body rebels: Ribs crack into venomous orchids whispering Nietzsche’s bleakest axioms. Blood crystallizes into chains etched with Xunzi’s warnings. Every truth he devours feeds the Philosopher’s Bloom, a sentient rot that turns cities into forests of flesh-bound trees screaming in Sartrean despair. To survive, Zhe Ran binds six women, each a disciple of warring philosophies: Mei-Xing, a Confucian sword saint who kills chaos to preserve order. Ilse, a nihilistic alchemist brewing godhood from corpses. Lian, a poison cultivator whose kisses unravel souls into poetry. Claire, a dualist artificer who splits mind from body—even if it kills her. Nadiya, a Dostoevskian madwoman who weaponizes suffering. Kotone, a Shinto exorcist bargaining with the ghosts in Zhe Ran’s bones. But the Tome’s final truth will unravel them all... Now, his past, present, and future are colliding… and the only way to escape the loop is to destroy every truth he has ever loved.

In the slums of a city that would rather see them dead, Clementine and Kristal Alderrayne learned early that survival was never guaranteed. At 10 years old, they hid in a closet and listened as their parents were slaughtered and were orphans with nothing to their name. At 12, they became thieves, vanishing into the underworld, even stealing pieces of bread to survive. At 15, they discovered what made them different, strength, speed, the kind of power no ordinary human should have. Half-vampires, their blood finally doing what they are supposed to do. And a secret that could get them killed if exposed. They stopped running. They stopped hiding. They became mercenaries, selling their skills to the highest bidder. At 19, they had earned their place in the world—separate apartments, separate lives, but always bound by the same unspoken and unknown purpose. But survival is not enough. The past still haunts them. The ones who destroyed their family still live. The continent of Vaeloria still belongs to the corrupt and the powerful. And the twins? They are done living in the margins. When whispers of a secret syndicate known as The Deprived reach their ears—a hidden force of outcasts, rebels, and assassins who answer to no king or god but for themselves—the twins find themselves at a crossroads. Do they continue carving their own path alone? Or do they step into something greater—not as followers, but as the ones who will one day rule it? One thing is certain—power is never given. It is taken.

Yet because he was seriously too attractive, he turned into…...the person serving beside the pillow of this voluptuous beauty who had been widowed for years. At the same time, menacing threats lurked all around the empire. The Demon Taming Kingdom was glaring at the empire intently, the Dragon Tiger Clan peering from the shadows…… “Checked in successfully, received Grade Nine Upper-level Martial Art: Tathagata Divine Palm!” “Checked in successfully, received Supreme Worldly Treasure: God Killing Spear!” “Checked in successfully, received unparalleled divine ability: Sky-Earth Synchronization!” Facing the enemy army swarming him, Lu Tianyu yelled, “Fear not Empress Dowager! These are just ragtag rebels, I can wipe them out with a single slash of my sword!” A sword smote from the skies! All worlds lost their colors in comparison! The Dragon Tiger Clan exclaimed, “There’s a true master in the empire!” The king of the Demon Taming Kingdom shivered in fear, “Master, please accept my kowtow.”
