I like text-to-speech so I'm giving a shot at present tense second person writing to lean into a listener's POV. Enjoy! I use Sonia en-GB for the narrator at 1.2 or 1.5 times speed. Might want to read this part, I kind of left it out the story by making it the synopsis by accident lol. Tavern doors never close on the festive dockside. Traders, settlers, wanderers, and outlaws gather, drawn by the excitement of the New World. The air smells of smoke, salt and sweat, sails catch wind beside steam locomotives' whistles and pistons, each vessel either arriving with strange goods and stranger tales or departing with the thunderous farewells. You step aboard one of them, another spirited adventurer in the crowd, and spend months at sea from docks to coasts, continents to isles, to steam across a windless sea under an endless night sky. When sunlight hits your deck once more, it reveals the New World's waters, like pouring paint into the void. You see the distant sails in the harbour of a forested continent and cheer with the exclamations of waking passengers upon seeing the continent, name pending, no sovereigns and no laws. The landing of all those visiting from the Old World, a boiling pot of all kinds of cultures with each person's distinct flavours of friends, enemies, grudges and dreams. Without hesitation you leave it behind and vanish into the forest, wanting simply to dedicate your life to exploring the interior of the continent. How surprising is it when you found that the elves are all sleeping beauties! Capture them all! Hahahahahahahaha!

I’m a proud NEET who’s devoured every romance novel, manga, webtoon, and otome game out there. Just when I thought I’d conquered it all, a black bunny appeared in my dream. “Congrats! You’ve been chosen to help villains win across multiple worlds!” “Like a game?” “Uh . . . sure.” “Great, I’m in!” And just like that, I became an agent of the Villain System. Time to rewrite some happily-ever-afters—villain style. **[NOTE!]** This novel features multiple short arcs, each exploring different tropes such as ancient China, the modern world, beasts, werewolves, vampires, fantasy, school romance, idol groups—you name it! The twist? Each arc focuses on our MC making the villain (male) triumph over the male and female leads. The story is written primarily in 2nd and 3rd person POV for a dynamic and immersive experience. || Excerpt || [WARNING! MATURE Content Ahead!] “Then serve me . . . properly.” The command was both sensual and authoritative, and Xue Li’s pulse quickened under his intense gaze. The air between them grew heavy, her trembling hands faltering as she began to run the sponge across his chest, her touch featherlight against his scars. “Y-yes your majesty.” Han Feng leaned back slightly, watching her through half-lidded eyes, his expression unreadable. “Slower,” he murmured, his voice a low rumble that made her pulse skip. “You’re trembling,” he said, his voice velvet smooth, making her flinch. “I-It’s the steam, Your Majesty,” she stammered, though she knew it was a poor excuse. Han Feng chuckled softly, the sound deep and rich. “Hmm . . . Is that so? Then you have no problem cleaning my cock right?” Xue Li's eyes trembled, on the verge of tears, which seemed to please Han Feng. His smile grew wider as he urged her on. "Go on. You're going to serve me properly, aren't you?"

They said the fjord was alive — that it remembered every moan ever echoed off its surface. When Astrid Hammar, a disillusioned 29-year-old writer from London, inherits her grandmother’s forgotten cottage in Løvlund, she expects silence. Solitude. Healing. What she finds instead is a village untouched by shame, where nudity is daily ritual, love is never exclusive, and eroticism isn’t whispered in the dark — it’s lived out loud, in sauna steam and moonlit lakes. Here, marriages open without scandal. Affairs happen like seasons. Women take what they want. Men beg to be taken. And the body is not hidden — it is celebrated, shared, broken, healed. Astrid arrives an outsider. But as the village peels her layers away — through sweat-drenched saunas, fingers at her spine during midnight swims, and open-mouthed invitations whispered during the ancient Blotnatt festival — she begins to remember something deeper than lust: Desire is not dirty here. It’s sacred. As the story unfolds, so do the villagers: Ida, a married mother of three who kisses Astrid first, in a greenhouse dripping with heat. Leif, the quiet carpenter who teaches her how to moan without words. Mattis, who offers her his wife before he offers her his heart. The Widow Ase, who teaches Astrid the art of watching before touching. Kari and Emil, teenage lovers who don’t know jealousy, only hunger. From one summer to the next, The Fjord Never Sleeps becomes an endless symphony of wet thighs, aching hearts, tangled limbs, and emotional bruises that heal through touch. And as Astrid falls into the village’s rhythm, she realizes she’ll never leave. Because once you live without shame, you can never go back

In this first chapter, you’ll meet Elena Wren—a woman whose life has been marked by devastating loss. Her story begins in the gray, unchanging routine of a factory town, where every day feels the same and the past clings to her like the ever-present fog. But this is not where her story ends.

If you’ve ever felt broken, tired, or alone, I hope you’ll find something in her journey that feels true to you. Thank you for being here. I’m honored to share this world with you. —With warmth, DionidaRachel

Enor. A world of ceaseless rain, where steam rises from the land in a slow exhalation, as if the planet itself breathes in torment. The dark heavens weep, the ground smolders, and amid it all, a boy sells himself to chains. Merrin Ashman walks into slavery—not for survival, nor profit, but out of fear. Out of shame. His hands are stained with his brother’s blood, and the weight of that sin crushes him. He does not weep. He does not rage. He is too much a coward to take his own life, yet too hollow to live without purpose. He does not seek redemption. Not yet. But he yearns for something—some task, some meaning, some distant thing to justify the ruin he has wrought. And fate, ever cruel, answers. By chance or divine will, he snaps at the cruciform. In that shattering, something awakens. A power, terrible and vast. He becomes a caster, one who moves the symbols. And with it, revelation: a destiny sought through time. El’Shadie. The title lingers like a question. A savior or a scourge? A harbinger of ruin or the world’s last hope? He does not know. But the path is before him. A path through a world of shadowed faiths, churches and warring clans, of casters wielding forces beyond reckoning, of monstrous fallen things clawing from skies. And this time, the El’Shadie must choose what he will be.

When Li Tian awakens a mysterious Primordial System, it doesn’t just grant him powers—it needs him to survive. In a world where most wield mechanical might and arcane tech, Li Tian must master a long-lost spiritual path to face corporate tyrants, system-bound mercenaries, and secrets that could break the world again. Can a lone cultivator rise in an era of steel titans and soulless machines? A fusion of steampunk, cultivation, and system evolution—this is not just another power fantasy.

In the dying years of a rotting century, where kings grow weak and steam engines choke the cities with soot, the Church still whispers of salvation — but behind its marble altars lurk horrors that neither prayer nor crown can contain. Father Malachai Kael is no savior. He is the Vatican’s secret blade — an exorcist who does not kneel, a heretic who sold his soul to a fallen archangel in a filthy London tenement. With hollow eyes and a Cockney drawl that cuts sharper than any relic blade, Kael tears demons from flesh by force alone — but each exorcism burns what’s left of his humanity, inch by inch. As plague and possession spread like rot through kingdoms and crumbling villages, whispers grow of the Saint of Chains — Father Severin Caldus, a beloved priest who promises to cleanse the world of corruption. But Severin’s holy order is a fanatical cult that feeds the same infernal power Kael once bargained with. And Severin wants Kael’s cursed soul brand — the final key to open Hell’s gate upon the mortal world. Hunted by witches, devils, and corrupted bishops, Kael stalks cobblestone alleys and gaslit cathedrals, dragging ancient evil into the light one body at a time. But shadows gather behind him — seductive succubi, nightmare demons, and the broken faithful who would rather see him burn than see their sins unmasked. When faith is a lie and Hell wears the skin of men, what is left to fear? Only this: The Devil Fears Him.

Once human, these cursed vile beings mutate into monstrous hybrids of man and beast, driven by an insatiable hunger for human flesh and madness. Their existence is a secret, whispered about in the smoke filled alleys and factory floors, where missing persons posters fade into the grime of the many cities around Europe. As the threat grows, a secret group of guardians forms in the shadows. Their mission: eliminate the monsters, protect the innocent, and keep the truth buried. To the public. Behind the smoke and steel of progress, a hidden war rages one of blood, horror, and sanity slowly slipping away. Who is the prey, who is the hunter who will survive in this god forsaken world.

Now all I hear is steam engines clanking, and supernatural pursuers keep coming. But can someone cut me some slack?!! I came for a vacation, not to be a moving target getting wiped out!

They were warriors born of starlight and storm—seven champions who rose against godlike invaders in a battle that shook the earth and cracked the heavens. But in their final stand, their power grew beyond imagination. Together, their energy scorched mountains, turned oceans to steam, and split the skies with molten rage. They won the war... But lost the world they swore to protect. Cursed with immortality and blessed with terrifying, earth-shaking power, they became walking cataclysms. Just their presence could melt the ground beneath their feet and ignite cities with a single breath. To prevent another apocalypse, they made a solemn pact: > “We will seal away our powers and vanish across the ages. For 5,000 years, we will walk alone—until the world is ready... or we are forgotten.” They scattered across the globe, living countless lives through empires, eras, and extinctions. But the price of their exile was heavy—the very echo of their unleashed power left scars on the world: earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions—the lingering aftermath of gods who dared to exist. Now, in the 21st century, the seal is broken. A pulse of celestial energy escapes into the modern world—possessing storms, toppling cities, awakening memories. As chaos returns, the immortals begin to remember. Their exile is ending. The world teeters on the edge of ruin, and the only hope may lie in their reunion. But with every step they take back toward each other, the balance frays further. They must reclaim their power... But the question remains: > Will they save the world? Or finish what they started and end it?

As he finds sanctuary beneath its quiet beams, he realizes the café is more than a refuge. It's a fulcrum, balancing two realities: the calm surface of the world… and the unseen current beneath it. Beneath steaming mugs and silent mornings lies a thread pulling them toward something ancient, dangerous, and alive. Some doors offer peace. Others open to the unknown.

Next to me mother shrieks in horror looking at my stomach. There’s blood. It was leaking from me. Pain slammed into me, felt like I was hit with a thousand knives. It was so agonizing I tried to brace myself back against the railing. Hard to breathe. I could feel the warmth of my blood dripping from my mouth. Looking down and a dark red color drenched me. Mother on her knees wailing uncontrollably. Detaching my clipped life vest to look at my hole. Blood now smeared my vision as I tried to wipe the red from my eyes. Screams and footsteps echoed loudly in my ears. Then suddenly I’m falling. “Hey now, hey now, fainting at the sight of me are you?” His sensual voice slipped in my ears like smooth milk chocolate. the taste of iron consumed my mouth, hot blood flooded me when I tried to laugh. It hurt. Oh god why did it hurt so bad. Tears drifted down my cheeks the salt leaving a trail of it’s path behind it. “You’re gonna be okay, I promise.” “You found me.” a smile creeped up my face. “I’ll always find you.” The ship began to lift into the air and people began to fall. I blink and then I’m falling. With one breath in I hit the ice cold water. Paralyzed. I couldn’t move. The screams and cries of woman and children pounded with water. Slipping. I was slipping under the violent thrashing waves. The air being sucked from my lungs. I try to open to breathe only got water to rush in instead. I was drowning. I was going to die. Gasping for air only to swallow more water. The water was like liquid ice touching my skin, but my lungs burned. A scream burst from my mouth only to be drowned by the water that came in after. I sank deeper and deeper.* *I saw his eyes flash a glowing white before he closed them and started kissing me again. This time it was gentler and softer than before. He tasted like warm honey biscuits. He was passionate and relaxed with his movement. I didn’t stop him. No, instead, I let him claim my lips. I run my hands though his hair pulling his face closer to mine. He rests his body on me, his weight heavy against my smaller frame, pressing me into the bed. The pressure of his body weight made me want to spread my legs and when I did a fire sparked inside me, my core was a blaze. My intimate area felt wet and hot like lava, and it was like everything around me melted away and I was lost in this kiss. This single moment in my life was undoing me. He pulled my head up sliding his arm underneath my neck to keep his body lifted slightly as he ran his fingers up my side. My body jolted; my hips instinctively lifted upwards, pushing against him. I could feel him harden between my legs and an unfamiliar ache stirred inside me, I moaned into his mouth. I could feel my body burning up again. I was getting dizzy, and I started to sweat. Or was that steam coming from us? Stars began dancing in my vision. Then a darkness swallowed me, and I was lost.* discord for this book is: https://discord.gg/Wx3RS62W

I turned away, trying to push past the suffocating madness that seemed to close in around me. Coughlan’s voice followed me, calm but unyielding. “You can run, Volcan, but you can’t hide. This city has a way of pulling its children back — whether they want it or not.” I glanced over my shoulder. His hollow eye seemed to pierce right through me. “Remember, your blood isn’t just a weapon. It’s a key. And soon, you’ll understand why.” With that, he melted back into the shadows, leaving me alone with the cold night and questions I wasn’t ready to face. I shakily took a breath, the cold edge of curiosity slicing through my panic. Pulling a small knife from my pocket, I pressed the blade against my palm, wincing as it nicked the skin. A bead of blood welled up, shimmering faintly under the pale moonlight — a soft, oceanic blue glow pulsing from within. I stared, heart pounding, as the glowing droplet hovered a moment before dripping onto the cracked pavement. Where it touched, the ground seemed to hiss, steam rising as if burned by some unseen fire. My breath hitched. This wasn’t just a dream. This was real. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________----- Some people excel at keeping secrets, others fail at concealing them completely.

Son of a bitch! I just finished this godawful fantasy novel, and now I'm knee-deep in it – as David, the disgraced son of the Solarian Empire's top general! Talk about some twisted cosmic joke. But hold on a damn minute... maybe this isn't all bad. Armed with the knowledge of that trashy plot, I can become the ultimate shadow player, an overlord perhaps. Screw the damsel-in-distress harem too – it's time to pull the strings and become the real power behind the throne. This isekai might be a steaming pile, but I'm rewriting the ending with a little more... Debauchery (wink wink).
