Carnival Row Vignette

Carnivals: Claimed By The Deranged Alpha Prince [BL]

From fleeing for your safety and enrolling in a school filled with psychopaths… to being claimed by a deranged alpha prince? Yeah, you’re better off dead. • . • Jules’ life was picture perfect until his entire family got murdered all of a sudden, with him being the only survivor. A savior swooped In because he was still in immense danger, and that led to Jules taking on a new identity and becoming a completely different person overnight— and enrolling into Carnivals, a prestigious all-boys school for all supernatural beings. In Carnivals, monsters lurk the dark hallways and the strong preyed on the weak. You either become a predator or a prey… and from one look at Jules— a boy too pretty for his own good, with a slender and petite build, it was obvious that he was gonna be eaten alive by the predators. Here comes Blaze, a wolf who sends shivers down every predator’s spine in the school, an insanely hot Alpha who was as dangerous and deranged as the rumors claimed. He took one glance at Jules and decided there and then that Jules belonged to him. *** I inched backwards, eyes widening even more as my eyes zeroed in on the smirk tugging at the side of his lips. Blaze never smiled, and whenever he does, it never meant anything good. My heartbeat quickened as I scrambled backwards even more, breath stuttering to a stop as he began to narrow the distance between us. In no time, my back was plastered against the cold wall and that was when it hit me right in the chest that I was cornered and ensnared, like an actual prey… by none other than Blaze, when I had thought my life couldn’t get any worse. He towered over me effortlessly, emitting so much dominance and I had to tilt my head backwards for me to be able to meet his dark eyes, and my breath hitched when our eyes locked. He leaned down and my eyes snapped closed at once as I held my breath, waiting for him to strike. I’ve heard all the horrifying, endless rumors about him. He was an Alpha Prince whose presence someone like me should never be in. When I felt the tip of his cold nose glide over the length of my throat, my mouth fell open to release a startled gasp. He dragged in a long, audible breath and I felt a shiver rattle down my spine as I grew even stiffer, confusion clouding my mind. What was happening? Why was he doing this out of nowhere? Oh my gosh… he really was a deranged alpha like everyone says! *** THIS BOOK IS RATED 18+! It contains matured content such as: - Bullying. - Drug use. - Smut [a whole lot of it.] - Violence. - Harem [not between the main characters.] So… proceed with caution, you’ve been warned! *I don’t own the rights to the cover!

Combat Maid Harem

I turned my assassin into my maid with the power of money! Money is all-powerful! It was a world full of swords and magic; Lawrend was the son of the wealthiest merchant in town. Since the age of 7, he had been having dreams. A dream about a past life in a modern civilization where monsters are nonexistent, and humans dominate the world. Lawrend saw Iron birds, Magical bricks that display moving paintings, Thunder wielding, and many more. There was a scene in one of the dreams that made Lawrend’s heart beat fast. A row of a dozen maids bowing in front of him. Each dressed in a french maid outfit. Something awakened inside Lawrend when he had that dream. A fervent desire to have his very own Maid Harem!

Carnavais: Reivindicado pelo Príncipe Alfa Desvairado [BL]

De fugir pela sua segurança e se matricular em uma escola cheia de psicopatas... a ser reivindicado por um príncipe alfa perturbado? É, você está melhor morto. • . • A vida de Jules era perfeita até que sua família inteira foi assassinada de repente, sendo ele o único sobrevivente. Um salvador apareceu porque ele ainda estava em grande perigo, e isso levou Jules a assumir uma nova identidade e se tornar uma pessoa completamente diferente da noite para o dia — e se matricular na Carnivals, uma prestigiada escola só para meninos e para todos os seres sobrenaturais. Na Carnivals, monstros espreitam os corredores escuros e os fortes predam os fracos. Ou você se torna um predador ou uma presa... e por uma olhada em Jules — um garoto bonito demais para seu próprio bem, com um corpo esbelto e pequeno, era óbvio que ele seria devorado vivo pelos predadores. Aqui vem Blaze, um lobo que faz os predadores da escola tremerem, um Alfa insanamente atraente que era tão perigoso e perturbado quanto os rumores afirmavam. Ele deu uma olhada em Jules e decidiu ali mesmo que Jules pertencia a ele. *** Eu me afastei para trás, olhos arregalando ainda mais enquanto focava no sorriso que se formava no canto de seus lábios. Blaze nunca sorria, e quando o fazia, nunca significava nada bom. Meu coração acelerou enquanto eu recuava ainda mais, respiração entrecortando ao parar enquanto ele começava a diminuir a distância entre nós. Em pouco tempo, minhas costas estavam coladas à parede fria e foi então que me atingiu bem no peito que eu estava encurralado e aprisionado, como uma presa de verdade... por ninguém menos que Blaze, quando eu pensei que minha vida não poderia piorar. Ele se impôs sobre mim sem esforço, emanando tanta dominância que tive que inclinar a cabeça para trás para conseguir encarar seus olhos escuros, e minha respiração falhou quando nossos olhos se encontraram. Ele se inclinou e meus olhos se fecharam de imediato enquanto eu prendia a respiração, esperando que ele atacasse. Eu já tinha ouvido todos os rumores horríveis e intermináveis sobre ele. Ele era um Príncipe Alfa cuja presença alguém como eu jamais deveria estar. Quando senti a ponta de seu nariz frio deslizar pelo comprimento da minha garganta, minha boca se abriu para soltar um grito de surpresa. Ele inspirou profundamente, um som audível, e senti um arrepio percorrer minha espinha à medida que ficava ainda mais rígido, confusão turvando minha mente. O que estava acontecendo? Por que ele estava fazendo isso do nada? Meu Deus... ele realmente era um alfa perturbado como todos dizem! *** ESTE LIVRO É AVALIADO PARA MAIORES DE 18! Contém conteúdo maduro como: - Bullying. - Uso de drogas. - Conteúdo erótico [muito disso.] - Violência. - Harém [não entre os personagens principais.] Então... prossiga com cautela, você foi avisado! *Eu não possuo os direitos da capa!

Carnivals : Revendiqué par le prince Alpha dérangé [BL]

Fuir pour votre sécurité et s'inscrire dans une école remplie de psychopathes... pour être revendiqué par un prince alpha dérangé ? Ouais, vous seriez mieux mort. • . • La vie de Jules était parfaite jusqu'à ce que toute sa famille soit assassinée soudainement, lui étant le seul survivant. Un sauveur est intervenu parce qu'il était toujours en grand danger, ce qui a conduit Jules à adopter une nouvelle identité et à devenir une personne complètement différente du jour au lendemain— et à s'inscrire à Carnivals, une école prestigieuse pour garçons, réservée aux êtres surnaturels. À Carnivals, des monstres rôdent dans les couloirs sombres et les forts prédaient les faibles. Vous devenez soit un prédateur, soit une proie... et à en juger par l'allure de Jules— un garçon trop beau pour son bien, avec une carrure mince et petite, il était évident qu'il allait être dévoré vivant par les prédateurs. Voici Blaze, un loup qui fait frissonner l'échine de chaque prédateur de l'école, un Alpha incroyablement séduisant qui était aussi dangereux et dérangé que les rumeurs le prétendaient. Il jeta un coup d'œil à Jules et décida là, à ce moment-là, que Jules lui appartenait. *** Je reculais lentement, les yeux écarquillés alors que mon regard se fixait sur le sourire naissant au coin de ses lèvres. Blaze ne souriait jamais, et quand il le faisait, cela ne présageait rien de bon. Mon cœur s'accélérait alors que je reculais encore, le souffle coupé alors qu'il commençait à réduire la distance entre nous. En un rien de temps, mon dos était plaqué contre le mur froid et c'est alors que ça m'a frappé en plein cœur que j'étais acculé et piégé, comme une véritable proie... par nul autre que Blaze, alors que je pensais que ma vie ne pouvait pas être pire. Il me dominait sans effort, dégageant tant de dominance et je devais incliner la tête en arrière pour pouvoir rencontrer ses yeux sombres, et mon souffle s'est coupé lorsque nos regards se sont croisés. Il se pencha et mes yeux se fermèrent immédiatement alors que je retenais mon souffle, attendant qu'il frappe. J'avais entendu toutes les rumeurs horrifiantes et interminables à son sujet. C'était un Prince Alpha en présence duquel quelqu'un comme moi ne devrait jamais se trouver. Quand j'ai senti la pointe de son nez froid glisser sur la longueur de ma gorge, ma bouche s'est ouverte pour lâcher un gazouillis de surprise. Il aspira un long souffle audible et un frisson me parcourut l'échine alors que je devenais encore plus raide, la confusion obscurcissant mon esprit. Qu'est-ce qui se passait ? Pourquoi faisait-il cela soudainement ? Oh mon dieu... il était vraiment un alpha dérangé comme tout le monde le dit ! *** CE LIVRE EST CLASSÉ 18+ ! Il contient du contenu mature tel que : - Harcèlement. - Consommation de drogues. - Scènes explicites [beaucoup de ça.] - Violence. - Harem [pas entre les personnages principaux.] Alors... procédez avec prudence, vous êtes prévenu ! *Je ne possède pas les droits sur la couverture !

Karneval: Vom gestörten Alpha-Prinz beansprucht [BL]

Von der Flucht um deine Sicherheit und der Einschreibung in eine Schule voller Psychopathen ... bis zur Inanspruchnahme durch einen geistesgestörten Alpha-Prinz? Ja, du bist tot besser dran. - . - Jules' Leben war perfekt, bis seine gesamte Familie plötzlich ermordet wurde und er der einzige Überlebende war. Ein Retter sprang ein, weil er immer noch in großer Gefahr schwebte, und das führte dazu, dass Jules eine neue Identität annahm und über Nacht zu einem völlig anderen Menschen wurde - und sich bei Carnivals einschrieb, einer angesehenen Schule für übernatürliche Wesen, die nur aus Jungen besteht. Auf Carnivals lauern Monster in den dunklen Gängen, und die Starken machen Jagd auf die Schwachen. Entweder wird man zum Raubtier oder zur Beute... und ein Blick auf Jules - ein Junge, der zu hübsch ist, um gut zu sein, mit einem schlanken und zierlichen Körperbau - machte klar, dass er von den Raubtieren bei lebendigem Leib gefressen werden würde. Hier kommt Blaze, ein Wolf, der jedem Raubtier in der Schule einen Schauer über den Rücken jagt, ein wahnsinnig heißer Alpha, der genauso gefährlich und gestört ist, wie es die Gerüchte behaupten. Er warf einen Blick auf Jules und entschied auf der Stelle, dass Jules zu ihm gehörte. *** Ich wich einen Schritt zurück und meine Augen weiteten sich noch mehr, als mein Blick auf das Grinsen fiel, das seine Lippen umspielte. Blaze lächelte nie, und wenn er es tat, bedeutete es nie etwas Gutes. Mein Herzschlag beschleunigte sich, als ich noch mehr nach hinten kletterte und mein Atem stockte, als er begann, den Abstand zwischen uns zu verringern. Im Handumdrehen war ich mit dem Rücken an die kalte Wand gepresst, und da wurde mir klar, dass ich in die Enge getrieben und gefangen war, wie eine echte Beute... von keinem Geringeren als Blaze, als ich dachte, dass mein Leben nicht mehr schlimmer werden konnte. Er überragte mich mühelos und strahlte so viel Dominanz aus, dass ich meinen Kopf nach hinten neigen musste, um in seine dunklen Augen sehen zu können, und mein Atem stockte, als sich unsere Blicke trafen. Er beugte sich vor, und ich schloss sofort die Augen, während ich den Atem anhielt und darauf wartete, dass er zuschlug. Ich hatte all die schrecklichen, endlosen Gerüchte über ihn gehört. Er war ein Alpha-Prinz, in dessen Gegenwart sich jemand wie ich niemals aufhalten sollte. Als ich spürte, wie seine kalte Nasenspitze über meine Kehle glitt, öffnete sich mein Mund und ich stieß ein erschrockenes Keuchen aus. Er holte einen langen, hörbaren Atemzug, und ich spürte, wie mir ein Schauer über den Rücken lief, während ich noch steifer wurde und die Verwirrung meinen Verstand vernebelte. Was geschah hier? Warum tat er das aus heiterem Himmel? Oh mein Gott... er war wirklich ein gestörter Alpha, wie alle sagen! *** DIESES BUCH IST AB 18 JAHREN FREIGEGEBEN! Es enthält ausgereifte Inhalte wie: - Mobbing. - Drogenkonsum. - Schweinereien [eine ganze Menge davon]. - Gewalt. - Harem [nicht zwischen den Hauptfiguren]. Also... mit Vorsicht vorgehen, ihr wurdet gewarnt! *Ich besitze nicht die Rechte an dem Cover!

Row Online: I have administrative class

Adam was once an ordinary gamer, spending endless nights mastering "RO Online," a forgotten, poorly-rated game. Despite its lackluster graphics and dwindling player base, Adam pushed through every level, defeated every boss, and claimed victory—only to delete his account out of frustration, thinking it all meaningless. Two months later, everything changed. The game relaunched in a revolutionary AR-integrated format, connecting directly to the real world. Its in-game currency merged with real-world finances, creating a new economy where gamers rose to unimaginable wealth. As the game evolved further, its powers began blending with reality itself—turning players into modern-day heroes and rulers. But Adam, with his deleted account, could only watch from the sidelines, struggling to reclaim his former glory. Betrayed by friends, robbed by corporations, and crushed by his own regrets, his journey ended tragically in an accident caused by a drunk player abusing their newfound powers. However, fate wasn't finished with Adam. Waking up ten years in the past—the very day he deleted his account—he now knows the future of the game and the immense potential it holds. With his memories intact and a second chance at life, Adam logs back in and is shocked to discover an unprecedented reward: the Administrative Class, granted for being the only player to fully clear the game before its relaunch. Now, Adam holds the power to bend the game’s reality to his will. Rules, limitations, and even the game’s own mechanics are his to control. But his abilities come with limits—and enemies. Corporations, rival players, and a corrupted system threaten to exploit the game’s integration into reality. This time, Adam isn't just playing to survive. He's playing to dominate. With his Administrative Class, he’ll rewrite the rules of the game—and reality itself.

Bloodlines of Destiny -The Battle between Light and Darkness

Under the blood-red moon, a carnival in a desolate corner of the world buzzed with sinister energy. The laughter of spectators rang hollow as the freak show unfolded—a haunting display of the bizarre and unnatural. At its center stood Rain, a young woman with a tragic beauty, her ethereal presence both captivating and unsettling. Her every move carried an air of defiance, a quiet rage against a world that saw her as nothing more than an abomination. Rain was no ordinary carnival performer. Sensitive to water, scarred by her past, she harbored a secret that made her a target for forces far beyond the gawking crowds. The daughter of a human mother and a vampire father, she was a Dhamphyr—a hybrid cursed to straddle the worlds of light and shadow. In her veins coursed a power that defied both death and destruction, a power coveted by those who sought to dominate the world. Miles away, in a fortress shrouded by perpetual night, Kagan, the most feared vampire of the age, learned of Rain's existence. She was the key to ancient talismans—artifacts of unspeakable power—that could grant dominion over all. He dispatched his most loyal thralls to hunt her down, determined to claim her strength for his dark ambitions. But Rain had her own vendetta. Kagan’s shadow loomed large over her past, the murderer of her mother and the architect of her suffering. With nothing but vengeance in her heart and the faint hope of justice, Rain embarked on a perilous journey. Her path would cross with rebels, seekers of light, and enemies disguised as allies, all vying for the talismans that could shape the fate of the world.

THE DEVIL'S SUCCESSOR SYSTEM

In a world where the forces of good and evil are locked in an eternal struggle, a decisive battle unfolds on a sunlit battlefield. On one side, the humans stood in disciplined rows, their armor gleaming in the sunlight, banners fluttering in the wind. On the other side, a lone figure in a dark robe, eyes glowing red, and a crazed smile on his face, stood defiantly. "Devil, surrender now or face our wrath!" the leader of the human army commanded. The so-called devil remained silent, raising his hand and beckoning them with a taunting gesture. "Come get me," his motion seemed to say. That was the signal. The army charged forward, weapons raised, determined to vanquish the evil before them. But as the battle commenced, it quickly turned into a one-sided massacre. The devil moved with terrifying speed and power, cutting down soldiers left and right. The cries of the fallen filled the air, and those at the back, seeing the hopelessness of their fight, turned and fled in panic. "Running away, are we?" the devil sneered. "Don't think you'll escape alive!" He pursued them relentlessly, his massacre unceasing until only the leader remained, standing amidst the carnage. "You truly are a devil," the leader gasped, his voice trembling. "I am not the devil," the figure replied, his voice cold and menacing. "I am Blackheart." With that, Blackheart seized the leader's head and, with a gruesome twist, tore it from his body. Holding the severed head aloft, he shouted to the heavens, "Are you going to keep watching, oh 'god,' or do I need to do more to get your attention?" His crazed smile never wavered as he awaited a response from the silent sky. --------------------------------------------------------- Will the god respond to Blackheart's taunt, or will the world be left to face his wrath alone? What is Blackheart's true purpose, and why does he seek the attention of the divine? Can anyone stand against Blackheart's overwhelming power, or is humanity doomed to fall before him?

The Witch In Love With The Enigmatic Butler

Anna is a girl capable of controlling time ever since she lost her parents. However, by using her powers recklessly, she ended up being adopted and exploited by a corrupt noble family, pushing her body’s health to its absolute limit. To Anna’s surprise, a boy with an unknown identity offered her something she can no longer remember. That’s because, to her astonishment, she was sent back in time to the moment she first arrived at the orphanage, granting her a second chance. Her friends—those she hadn’t seen again since being taken in by that family—were now standing in front of her once more. With that, Anna gained the resolve that if this wasn’t just a dream… she wouldn’t repeat her past mistakes. Despite her lingering fear of using her powers, Anna is determined to live this second life in a way that truly matters, forming bonds with friends who will stand by her side as she faces the chaos of a world shaped by magic and the political ambitions of a selfish few. ◇◆◇ Chapter 7 - A Risky Move Anna stood across from Darius, the most respected and calculating player in the room. They had tied four times in a row, something no one had ever seen before. “I’ll raise the stakes,” Darius said with a cold smile, pushing a massive pile of chips to the center of the table. The dealer turned to Anna: “You must match the bet, or you’ll lose automatically.” Anna hesitated, glancing at her dwindling pile of chips. She was out of money. The murmurs of the spectators grew louder. Finally, the dealer offered her a way out: “You can play on credit, but if you lose, you’ll have to pay it back—with interest… or face more serious consequences.” Anna swallowed hard. She knew continuing was a massive risk, especially since exhaustion was creeping up on her. But Leo’s words echoed in her mind, urging her to keep going. She looked at the dealer and, with unwavering determination, declared: “I accept. I’ll double the bet.” Silence fell over the room as the game resumed. Anna used her ability to rewind time and fix every mistake she made. But with each use of her power, the fatigue took a heavier toll. The minutes ticked by, and when she finally scored a perfect 21, leaving her opponent in the dust, her body couldn’t take any more. “Anna wins,” the dealer announced. But before Anna could celebrate, her vision blurred, and she collapsed in front of everyone, leaving the room in complete shock.
