Liuke Cage

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

She had always assumed that her newlywed husband, with his staggering wealth, lacked the ability to procreate, so she was completely unguarded around him, failing to notice that someone's gaze was off... “I like women, our genders aren't compatible, let's get a divorce...” Su Xingyue came up with all sorts of reasons to divorce him, but Nan Yuling decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly cut off all her potential suitors, ensuring that she could only be spoiled by him alone! Besides that, he tirelessly proved it to her in person... Therefore, one day, Mrs. Nan, unable to bear the hardship, ran away from home once again... [He made pampering her a cage, imprisoning his love for her for a lifetime...]

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her. Discord: https://discord.gg/vrdTSkj8Va Author Notes: This is my third book, going to take what I learned from before to improve. This book will be focusing on plot, action, depths of character bonds and overall a darker tone/take on this cruel fantasy world I've cooked up for this book! If you give this book a try, I hope you enjoy! A very different experience and tone to Nanomancer Reborn.

Hananoi Tojiko is a figure shrouded in controversy, a human being who has long wished he had never been born. From his earliest memories, he saw himself as a miserable creature, cursed by existence itself. At the age of eight, he attempted to end his life—a desperate act that not only failed but also set his life spiraling into chaos. His mother’s hatred for him grew venomous, and the violent fights between his parents became the backdrop of his shattered childhood. When the news of his suicide attempt spread like a plague through the neighborhood, the shame and scrutiny became unbearable, forcing him to flee Japan, a broken boy exiled from his own home. Years later, Hananoi returns to Japan, a shadow of his former self, yet bearing the title of a recommended student at Noriko High School—a prestigious institution reserved for the elite. The school is a gilded cage, filled with the children of powerful families, prodigies, and those destined for greatness. But beneath its polished surface lies a world of cutthroat ambition, hidden cruelty, and unspoken rules. Hananoi, with his fractured psyche and the scars of his past, is an outsider in this world of privilege. His return is not a homecoming; it is a collision. His nemesis, a figure from his past, lurks in the shadows, waiting to reignite their bitter rivalry. And within Hananoi’s mind, the demons of his childhood still linger, whispering doubts and feeding his darkest impulses. Will he find a way to confront the darkness that has followed him since childhood, or will it consume him entirely? In a world where power and influence reign supreme, Hananoi’s tormented mind may be his greatest weapon—or the chain that drags him into the abyss.

In the grand Vesperian Empire, where power and perfection dictate one's worth, Princess Evangeline is seen as nothing less than flawless. Born with silver hair like moonlight and lavender eyes as deep as twilight, she is the empire’s cherished jewel—the daughter the emperor adores, the symbol of nobility’s grace. But behind the elegance, her fate has already been sealed. Her life is not her own. Duty binds her. Expectations cage her. She is the perfect princess, untouched, untouchable—until him. Mathias von Herdhart, heir to the empire’s most powerful ducal house, has long stood as a force to be feared. His family—equal to royalty in power, yet enemies of the throne—despises everything the imperial bloodline stands for. But the moment he first sees her, his world shifts. She is everything he cannot have. Everything he should not desire. And yet, he cannot look away. From their first meeting in a moonlit garden, an unspoken bond takes root. A dangerous, forbidden connection. She knows she must not falter. He knows he must not chase. Yet the more she pulls away, the more relentless he becomes. As the empire’s politics turn deadly and duty calls her to remain the empire’s perfect princess, will Evangeline choose to uphold her oath… or allow herself to be loved by the one man she should never have met?

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is acting all weird? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

"How I talk to my employees is not and shouldn't be your business." He started taking slow steps towards me while I kept moving back till my back touched the wall. There's no escape anymore.

"You defy me so much that I want to hurt you." With that he disappeared. The only evidence that showed he was here was just the sound of the closing 'Love? A mere word or feeling that makes us do weird and dumb things. I didn't want to love him. I didn't want to want him. I didn't want anything to do with him but the heart wants what it wants.

Beneath the Surface (Fell in Love with the Machine – 1) by: Nova Angelis Vesper Lenore Holloway is not the kind of woman who bends—or kneels. She is independent, untouchable, a force of her own making. She makes her own choices, walks through life with her head high, and stands by her morals, unshaken. A soldier. Untamed. Unbreakable. Until she crosses paths with Lucien Rael Vale. A man like a machine. Calculated. Controlled. Cold. But there’s something deeper beneath the surface—something unreadable, something terrifyingly inevitable. From the moment he meets Vesper, he decides she belongs to him. But Vesper is not something to be owned. She fights him. Fights like hell. Refuses to be caged. Refuses to be another piece in his world of precision and order. But Lucien doesn’t need chains to keep her close. He doesn’t need force to make her stay. He dismantles her differently—softly, methodically, until she doesn’t even realize she’s fallen. She resists, and he waits. She defies, and he watches. And when she finally breaks, he is there to catch every shattered piece. She was never meant to fall. But now, she doesn’t just fall—she is rewritten. She swore she’d never bow. But in the end, she doesn’t just bow—she shatters. And the most terrifying part? She doesn’t want to be saved.

Because even birds in golden cages can learn how to bite.

But Madeline was not one to be broken easily. A spark of defiance still flickered within her, a flame that burned brighter with every passing moment. She vowed to survive, to endure the unimaginable horrors that lay ahead, and to one day escape the clutches of the monster who now held her captive. Yet, as she gazed into the dark, unfathomable eyes of Lord Damien, Madeline felt an icy dread creep over her. For in those eyes, she saw a glimmer of something far more sinister, something that threatened to consume her very soul. And then, there was Evan Wilhelm, the mafia prince's ruthless rival, who watched from the shadows, his eyes fixed upon Madeline with an unnerving intensity. His presence seemed to whisper a haunting promise: her fate was already sealed, and her future was shrouded in an impenetrable darkness. As the doors to her prison closed behind her, Madeline realized that she was trapped in a living nightmare, with no escape from the horrors that awaited her. And in that moment, she knew that she was doomed to become a pawn in a deadly game of power and deception, where the stakes were her very life.
