Re: Cultivation Begins By Sowing The Seeds

Ye Xian died. Then he woke up. Additional memories flooded his mind, ones that didn’t belong to him. And deep inside, something ancient stirred. A forbidden treasure had awakened—the Reverse Taiji. With it came a second chance at life. No more weakness. No more regret. This time, Ye Xian would rise. He refuses to live with regret. And the world would remember his name To rise, he must walk the path of dual cultivation. By sharing pleasure with women, he absorbs their Yin energy and grows stronger with every touch, every moan. A fairy cultivates with him beneath moonlit trees. A holy maiden clutches her purity, only to give it to him at night. A busty empress moans under him, sharing not just her body, but royal secret techniques that double his gains. A wicked demoness calls him master. He will take them all. Please them. Bind them to him through body and soul. Each night of passion brings him closer to godhood. The world is dangerous. Dark sects hide in shadow. Evil cults spread twisted faith. Ancient beasts sleep in forgotten tombs, and hidden forces move behind the veil. But Ye Xian has already made his choice. He will master the arts they fear. Break the rules they protect. And crush anyone who stands in his way. He will build a harem of powerful, beautiful women—lovers, warriors, and loyal companions who share his bed and fight at his side. With blood on his blade and goddesses in his arms, he shall stand atop of the corpses of his enemies and rise top of the world!

Dual Cultivation: Transmigrated into a cultivation novel as an extra

Heavenly paradise. A popular cultivation novel I liked to read just finished serializing today, and I'm happy the story has come to an end. Kyle is lost in his thoughts, walking home from school, and suddenly, Truck Kun sends him to the afterlife. The last thing Kyle remembers is the unbearable pain wrecking his body and the blood staining the ground under him, his very own blood. After spending an unknown amount of time in limbo, in a dark space, he wakes up and finds out he has been transmigrated into Heavenly paradise! The only problem is he can't cultivate! But then, while browsing through his memories, he discovers, whoever transmigrated him left a little gift for him, a dual cultivation technique to get him started, along with a note, "Good luck, and sorry for running you over, I was driving a truck for the first time. See you around, if you can stay alive." Equipped with knowledge of the future and information about the world, as well as knowing the characters more than they know themselves, their personality, friends, enemies, and emotions, Kyle sets out to live a carefree life and conquer some beauties using his Dual cultivation technique, and of course, he is starting with the main cast! Can he navigate the world of cultivators and stay alive while doing so? Tags - (Smut, Harem, Fantasy, Romance, Cultivation, Ecchi, Transmigration, and so on.) Extremely vivid sexual and NSFW content.

Goddess of Lust wants me to Conquer MILFS

"Kael, what do you want to be when you grow up...? I'm sure it's a doctor." "No—an engineer." "You’ll make your family proud." Kael was just an average high school student—nothing special, nothing extraordinary. His life had one aim: to become successful. Not because he wanted to, but because that was what everyone expected. His family, his teachers, even his friends—they all had the same dream in mind: doctor or engineer. So he followed along, silently, diligently. But the deeper he walked that path, the more hollow he became. And then, one day, without warning, everything ended. He died. Yet fate had other plans—reincarnation. Reborn in a world of magic and swords, Kael found himself in a simple household, tucked away in a faraway village of the Ernia Kingdom. He was given a second chance but he seemed destined for the same mediocrity... until the day he met her. Nyx, the seductive Goddess of Lust. "Welcome to the World of Lust," her voice purred. "Indulge in lust, amass lust points, and wield them to unlock pleasures that mortal minds can’t fathom—items, abilities, and ecstasies that will make you a god among men." Her lips grazed his ear, voice softening further, "Lush milfs, noble ladies, princesses, queens, elves... all on your feet—ready to throw away their titles just for a night with you." "And remember this—on the path of Lust, there is no sin, no taboo, no morality that binds you. Love, lust, seduction, domination… all of them are tools, weapons. Your desire is your sword. Your charm, your shield. This world labeled lust as a sin because they feared its true power. But you.” The voice grew seductive: “You will become the one who proves that lust, in its purest form, is divine.” *** [Huge Harem] [In Depth R-18] [Hardcore Fetishes] [Extreme Sex] [Gore] [Big Boobs] [MILF] [Best Girls] [Anal] [Threesome] [Foursome] [N-some] [Big ass] [Impregnation] Some extra tags: R-18 | Mature | Adult | Smut | Harem | Ecchi | Hentai | NSFW | Blowjob | Thick | Thicc | Milf | Gilf | Choking | Out doors | Humiliation | Nymph | Bdsm | Action | Demon | Handsome MC | Weak to Strong MC | Antihero | Comedy | Wise | Spitting | Slapping [No NTR - No sharing - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls.

There is a guaranteed Adult Chapter one out of every five. NOT FOR CHILDREN! NOT FOR SOFT HEARTS!] • FULL BLURB Israfel BlüdThïrste was born in Hel. He has lived in it all eighteen years of his life. As seventh in the bloodline of the Morningstar himself, Rafel has had a pretty fucking great life. There's spilled blood in excess. Violence to choke the gray skies. Abundant sex—depraved and hardcore. And more blood. Everything a Prince of the Abyss could desire. But Rafel has heard stories, of the world above. The world of the weak mortals whose damned souls fall endlessly through the red skies of his, to meet with perpetual torture. Stories of their fine carriages and legendary kings. Their golden sun and green earth. But mostly, their virgin women. He wishes to see it for himself. And so, when a lucky gambit with his dear Aunt, Lilith, opens up a way for him to explore the surface, Rafel hops to it. The deal is a hundred years before he has to return to his duties as Hell's Apollyon. Accompanied by his new slave, a voluptuous horned Succubus, Rafel journeys to the mortal realm, entering into the mythical lands of Eldoria as the enigmatic Earl of Emberfall, a haunted estate. But Rafel intends to rise, into the very courts of the Eldorian Queen. At least before his time runs out. And if corrupting, blackmailing, fucking, and murdering a few mortals gets in his way, so be it. This is until the haloed mess of Ravenna de Vries ends up on the grand steps of his Manor, soaking wet with a blood debt hanging over her head. Israfel had seen many beautiful women in his time, but somehow the little mortal girl is sufficient to make him rethink his gambit. Ravenna is owed to a powerful Hell Principality. And though Rafel convinces himself that building up his power ranking is solely selfish, it also has to do with going up against an ancient adversary from his home who is certain to appear just about anytime to collect what he is owed—Ravenna. She is not his responsibility, but why does Rafel feel exactly that whenever he looks at her? And suddenly for this Immortal, a hundred years is not enough to fall in love.

Sweet Devil [BL]

“Happy Christmas Eve!” chuckled the old man as he strapped a watch around Misha’s wrist. “Have a nice trip.” The next morning, the 25-year-old Misha woke up with a pounding headache, sore muscles, and strong nausea. In short, the perfect hangover. But when he saw his reflection in the mirror, he soon realized that the pain wasn’t caused by the terrifying amount of alcohol he had drunk the previous day. His body had shrunk. A lot. He didn’t have the time to think too much about it since his mother suddenly erupted in his room - the next day, his sister did the same thing. Mother and sister who had died a long time ago. The old man wasn't crazy. As he had predicted, Misha did travel back in time, just before losing his loved ones. And so, Misha had now one mission: changing the dreadful fate of his mother and sister and sending away his sister’s boyfriend by all means. They had to break up! Like it or not, that man will bring disaster to the family sooner or later. This time, Misha wouldn't fall for that warm smile and those gentle eyes as he knew they were hiding a cold, insensitive personality. However, things weren’t as simple as he thought, and perhaps the sister’s boyfriend was not the enemy. Perhaps, since the beginning, he had everything wrong and knew nothing of his sister. ________________ *The BL will mostly show up in the second and third volumes. It is a very slow romance, so don't expect the protagonist to fall in love quickly. In the first volume, he has too much on his mind to care about love and such. *There will be contents for 18+ in the second and/or third volume. I will put a warning at the beginning of every NSFW chapter. P@treon: https://www.patreon.com/rsvaesen?fan_landing=true

Married To Miss Ice Queen

Mimi's just a regular high school girl... kind of. Cute, sweet, and always glowing in her soft Douyin makeup, she's the type who smiles at strangers and leaves little heart stickers on everything she owns. With golden blonde streaks in her black hair and a closet full of pastel skirts, she's basically a walking filter. But her world flips upside down when her parents suddenly drop a bomb: she's getting married. To a Russian CEO. Who's ten years older. And doesn't even like her. Kijo Volkov is cold, ruthless, and way too busy running her billion-dollar company to care about romance - especially not with some high school girl who thinks love is pink and sparkly. She didn't even show up to their wedding night. Just signed the papers, handed over the penthouse keys, and went back to work like nothing happened. Now Mimi's living in her apartment, completely alone. Every morning she wakes up early to cook breakfast for a wife who never shows up. She goes to school, comes home, makes lunch, and waits. Kijo never texts. Never calls. Barely speaks. But Mimi doesn't give up easily. Even if her wife is cold, Mimi's heart is warm. Even if they barely speak... they still live under one roof. And this marriage? It's legally binding. She didn't ask for this. Neither did Kijo. But fate doesn't care what they want. And hearts don't stay frozen forever. This is a slow-burn, age-gap, enemies-to-lovers sapphic romance filled with tension, emotional walls, late-night gazes... and yes, NSFW scenes throughout.

A mere stepping stone for the protagonist to win the main heroine’s heart. And now? I’m him. “…Are you kidding me? I won’t let my daughter become a simp with no personality!” The problem is, I am just a healer with money and influence; my daughter hates me and is obsessed with him. The protagonist is obviously the one with unlimited plot armor. Blessed with Schrodinger’s Cat—an overpowered skill that makes him literally unkillable. Ding!

GRAVES. Código de Sangre.

Nathaniel "Nate" Graves, conocido en ciertos círculos sangrientos como "El Carnicero de Langley" o simplemente "Código 9", no quería volver. Tras ser quemado por la Sección Ómicron, una unidad gubernamental de "soluciones definitivas", su vida era humo barato y recuerdos peores que una resaca permanente. Pero cuando Vincent "El Cuervo" Crowe, un periodista de investigación con más enemigos que contactos (y eso es decir mucho), le suplica protección mientras intentan borrarlo del mapa por el "Expediente Cerberus", Nate sabe que su retiro se ha terminado. "¿Protegerte?", le espeta Nate, encendiendo un H. Upmann con manos que no tiemblan. "Cuervo, lo único que garantizo es que morirás cansado de correr." El Expediente Cerberus es una bomba: prueba la red de corrupción que une al Proyecto Sombras (asesinatos gubernamentales), Thorne Industries (explotación y contratos sucios), el violento Cártel de la Bahía (tráfico de todo lo imaginable) y policías y políticos hasta la médula podridos. Y el nombre de Nate está dentro, vinculado a la misión que lo convirtió en chivo expiario. Para limpiar su nombre (o vengarse con estilo), Nate necesita descifrar el Expediente y mantenerse vivo. Su único aliado estable es Vin, cuyo optimismo se limita a: "Buenas noticias, Carnicero: hoy solo nos quieren matar tres facciones distintas. ¡Progreso!". Pero la complicación tiene nombre, curvas y un juego peligroso: Seraphine Dubois, "El Ángel de Hierro". Esposa del magnate y político corrupto Darius Thorne, y amante de Nate. Su romance es pólvora mojada en whisky barato: pasión, celos tóxicos y la certeza de que ella comparte la cama de Thorne (y otros) para extraer secretos. "¿Te gusta mi vestido nuevo, querido?", le susurra Seraphine después de una cita con un juez comprado. "Es de seda italiana... y costó exactamente los detalles del próximo golpe de tu jefe contra los muelles. Una ganga, ¿no crees?" Nate lo sabe: Seraphine los usa a todos, y su información es un arma de doble filo. "Eres como un Upmann, Seraphine", le dice Nate en un raro momento de claridad. "Elegante, letal y condenadamente adictiva. Y sé que me matarás." Mientras la ciudad se desangra entre la codicia de Thorne, la brutalidad del Cártel de la Bahía liderado por Marta "La Dama" Rostova, la limpieza despiadada de Ómicron dirigida por el frío Director Vance ("El Archivista"), y la corrupción visceral del Comisionado Bell, Nate y Vin se adentran en el fango. Nate aplica su particular sentido del humor en medio del caos: "Disculpen el desorden", masculla después de dejar inconscientes a tres matones del Cártel en un club de striptease que sirve de fachada. "Pero su servicio al cliente era... mortalmente aburrido." Mientras Vin, revisando cámaras de seguridad hackeadas, comenta: "Mira el lado bueno, Código 9. Al menos la contaminación en el puerto oculta el olor a los que tú dejas atrás." La cacería es total. "La Jauría" de Ómicron, los sicarios del Cártel, los esbirros de Thorne y la policía corrupta de Bell quieren sus cabezas. Nate deberá usar cada gramo de su cerebro y cada gota de su brutal eficiencia para descifrar el Expediente, enfrentar la verdad sobre su pasado, decidir si Seraphine es su perdición o su salvación, y tal vez, solo tal vez, hacer justicia en una ciudad donde la corrupción es el único sistema que funciona. "Redención, Cuervo?", pregunta Nate mientras apunta a su siguiente objetivo, el humo de su Upmann dibujando una corona efímera sobre su cabeza. "Aquí lo único que se redime son las balas recicladas. Apunta y reza... o mejor, solo apunta." ¿Sobrevivirá Nate Graves lo suficiente para ver el Expediente Cerberus reventar en la cara de los poderosos? ¿O será solo otro nombre tachado en una lista interminable de bajas, fumando su último cigarrillo en el infierno que ayudó a crear? En esta ciudad, incluso la verdad huele a ceniza y tabaco caro... y tiene muy mal sentido del humor.
