Shadowhunters Magnus Bane

The rule had always been this way: the strong over the weak, the rich over the poor. Mark knew this, he'd even experienced it. After his boss fired him for discovering the affair with his girlfriend (who also worked at their small gaming company), Mark vowed never to be humiliated like that again. He wanted to rise above everyone, to become the world's top player, the one who made the rules and decided everyone's fate. But that was wishful thinking. He was just a heavyset, nerdy guy with some programming skills and a large appetite. What else did he have going for him? Hit hard by this reality, jobless and dumped, Mark withdrew into gaming, which also became his source of income. One day, after leaving a bad review for a game he played and streamed, he received a strange reply from the game's creator. Suddenly, Mark found himself transported to Aetherium, the world of that same game, as Magnus Lancaster, the young lord of a crumbling territory. Now, with this new beginning, he vowed never to be weak again, never to leave his fate in someone else's hands. Discord: https://discord.com/invite/vvQRGGha9M

{Disclaimer: The women in this book are highly dysfunctional and violent. If you are not a fan of Tsudere's and Yandere's, this might not be your cup of tea, and the MC is an asshole.} Bane Takashi is a criminal with a knack for getting into trouble—big trouble. After one too many bad choices and a whole lot of theft, he’s got half the world gunning for him. Just when things seem bleak, a mysterious transparent blue woman shows up claiming she's an AI from the future, sent to stop the world from going down the drain. Her solution? Bane has to let his current body die so he can jump into a game world, ten years before it even launches. When Bane wakes up in the game, he’s in the body of a 5-year-old, but with all his memories still intact. He's stuck on an island with the Village of Heroes at its heart. It's here that Bane starts mastering every type of magic, mysticism, and even some wild stuff like witchcraft and cultivation, all to gear up for the craziness that is Dominion Online. Things get even more chaotic when Bane meets a fiery woman who seems to have it out for him. But before he can even figure out what’s happening, she’s already planning their wedding! So now, Bane—an immortal human—and his equally immortal and chaotic elf wife are on a wild ride to save the world(s) from these big bads known as the Supreme Ones. His life might not be so bad if she was the only one, but his overwhelming personality ends up pulling a few more dysfunctional women into the mess. It’s a crazy, toxic, and chaotic adventure, and just because Bane’s being called a hero now doesn’t mean he’s leaving his criminal past behind. Discord: https://discord.gg/7ZDTTCq99Z

A strange screen appeared before me one night, glowing ominously in the darkness: Name: Magnus Deathclaw Mission: NTR the netori protagonist and the so-called heroes. Take their glory, their women, their mothers—leave them broken. Make them die virgins. Time Limit: 4 years. Penalty Upon Failure: Complete annihilation. The task was absurd, yet terrifying. My hypocritical soul screamed in protest, going after other men’s wives, their mothers, even daughters? It wasn’t just morally corrupt; it was downright insane. And yet, with the stakes laid bare, I knew there was no escape. So, with a heavy heart and a throbbing dick, I accepted my fate. Whether it was their mother’s welcoming cunt or their daughter’s innocence, I didn’t give a fuck. Glory? Gone. Happiness? Destroyed. By the time I was done, they wouldn’t have a shred of hope left. And when it was over, they’d curse the name Magnus Deathclaw for the rest of their miserable, broken lives. [ Original Work baby!! ]

Li Yao, a retired assassin, woke up one day to find herself transmigrated to ancient times and became a famous shrew far and wide. With hands on her hips, she wailed loudly. Villagers called her the bane of ghosts, and even dogs would circle around when they saw her. She had four children, her husband had passed away, and it was a disastrous year, leaving them poor as church mice.

"I curse you, Damian. You will die a slow and painful death." She was betrayed, deceived and murdered by her own husband. But fate had other plans for Valeria. When Valeria wakes up thousands of years in the past, she’s no longer just a woman—she’s Queen Evelina, the fated mate of the Lycan King, Magnus. Ruthless, deadly, and feared by all, Magnus is nothing like the husband she once trusted. Yet, he bears the same face as Damian and that alone makes her hate him and seek her revenge. Trapped in a medieval world of werewolves with a year long Christmas period, Valeria finds out she is not only a queen and a werewolf but also pregnant. To make matters worse, the Alpha king, Carter, Evelina's original husband she was forcefully taken away from, and the Lycan king are at war, both willing to destroy kingdoms to claim and keep her. Neither are aware of the child in her womb and she doesn't know who between the both of them is the father. Magnus, the cold and possessive Lycan King, is nothing like the rumors claim. Beneath his tough layers is a man with secrets darker than a moonless night. Valeria, however, doesn’t care, no matter how important they are—her only mission is to kill him and escape. But how can an Omega kill the most powerful werewolf alive? As Valeria begins to learn and understand her new life, secrets are brought to the surface. How did she get here? Why does her silver locket glow? Why is her wolf like that? And why does Magnus, the man she swears to hate, make her heart beat? Love, betrayal, power, and revenge collide in this tale of a woman torn between two lives and two dangerous men. Can Valeria rewrite her destiny, or will she end up losing herself in a new world where nothing is as it seems? He’s dangerous. She’s furious. She loves Christmas with passion. He hates Christmas with an even bigger passion. Together, they’ll either make and conquer —or destroy each other. Read now and dive into a world of love, twists, betrayal, and suspense! Update daily.

He was bound to her by threads of fate, yet she was his bane. His true mate had arrived, bearing the mark of their eternal bond. But, his heart remained with the one who was his bane.

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities. All over the world, glitches are starting to manifest in weird ways: a brick that could knock anything unconscious with a single touch, a child whose perception of the world could affect reality, or even a woman who was, inexplicably, everyone's mother—there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind any of them. When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them."

In the northern royal kingdom of Arszden, nothing is as it seems. Being one of the oldest of the Fourteen Kingdoms, time has made its history both fact and fairytale, and to this day, nobody knows which is more accurate, either fantasy or reality. Katarina Kasdan was born free, but 321 days ago, her entire world crumbled at her feet. Not for the first time, and surely, not for the last. Stripped of her right to freedom after her entire village was burned to the ground, she was taken as a thrall by the woman known as the Keiserinne, and used for her dark wishes. But her wyrd was long ago settled. When the infamous Steel Kairo walks into her life, everything changes, once more. He is everything she hates. Everything she fears. Everything she loves. He has secrets interwoven with the very birth of the world he seems to carry in his shoulders, holds more power than one should ever be given to wield, and, on top of it all, he is said to be immortal. Something she should have known the first time she tried to stab him. Or when he offered to teach her to throw knives. Or when he kissed her for the first time. But as another king sits on his throne destined to fall, others reach to claim a crown bejeweled with secrets that could mean the unveiling of a long-lost prophecy and a wyrd millennia before settled. And as false kings race to claim an inheritance that is neither theirs nor the king's firstborn, the wyrd wields its hand to place upon the one true heir's head the crown of the Lost King. And amid such secrets lies a fate that claims that these two will be the bane of each other's existence until the blood of one of them is shed upon a land of daisies. Thus, chaos will come. Lives will be lost. Bonds will be made. Vows will be broken. Blood will be spilled. Fates will be set. And war will be waged. And the only remaining question is whether steel will be broken or a daisy will blossom. (Norse mythology and Viking inspired)
