Imagenes De Yanderes Anime

``` La culture dual n'est pas un choix ; c'est une nécessité. Après avoir été percuté par un camion comme la plupart des protagonistes chanceux (ou malchanceux), Vaan s'est retrouvé transmigré dans le corps d'un orphelin dans le monde des sorcières et des démons. Cependant, ils n'ont pas toujours existé. Les démons terrorisent le monde depuis que le Royaume de la Gehenne est descendu il y a plus de 300 ans. Mais avec eux est venu le mana, donnant naissance aux sorcières pour combattre ces démons. Depuis, le monde des hommes était dominé par les sorcières, établissant les sept royaumes de sorcières, qui protègent en première ligne de l'invasion des démons. Pour survivre dans la société matriarcale des royaumes des sorcières, Vaan, comme tous les autres hommes qui ne peuvent pas utiliser la magie, a dû apprendre à servir les sorcières pour survivre. Néanmoins, cela n'est pas venu sans ses propres avantages. Des années de recherche ont amené le monde à découvrir que l'intimité entre hommes et femmes pouvait augmenter l'absorption de mana des sorcières. Mais en même temps, les hommes pouvaient absorber une partie de ce mana pour améliorer leur physique et leur durée de vie. Ainsi, depuis, une relation complexe s'est formée entre les hommes et les sorcières dans les quartiers rouges. L'amour est devenu décontracté, et la culture dual est courante. En tant que prodige dans l'art de plaire aux femmes, Vaan a vécu paisiblement deux années depuis sa transmigration en tant qu'orphelin. Cependant, tout s'est écroulé en un instant un jour où sa vie a failli être prise et Madame Eniwse, qu'il servait, est entrée en furie. Mais cela n'était pas la fin. Avec l'éveil du Système de Chasseur de Sorcières, regardez comment Vaan prend le dessus sur le monde et devient le seigneur des sorcières. ===== Genre : [Contenu Mature] [R-18] [Smut] [Magie] [Sorcières] [Démons] [Esprits] [Dragons] [Bêtes] [Réincarnation] [Aventure] [Action] [Mystère] [Académie] [Faible-à-Fort] [MC Machiavélique] [Harem] [Système] [Serviteurs] [Esclaves] [MC Intelligent] [Alchimie] [Forge] [Malentendus] [Éléments de Jeu] [Construction de Royaume] [MC Surpuissant] ===== Note : Contient des lemons.

"Quem tocou em você?" ele perguntou, seus olhos turvos sobre ela e quando ela não respondeu, sua voz trovejou no quarto, "QUEM?" O mordomo que estava perto da parede falou trêmulo, "Senhor, foi o Senhor Reverale," o rosto de Damien se tornou sombrio, sua mandíbula tique-taqueando em fúria ele virou o rosto para o lado onde o mordomo estava atrás. "Traga o homem até aqui." "A-agora?" gaguejou o mordomo. Era hora da noite. Damien, que não havia quebrado o contato visual com a garota à sua frente, empurrou a mão contra a parede a qual agora descansava ao lado da cabeça de sua bela garota. Virando o corpo, ele primeiro olhou para seu mordomo que tinha a cabeça baixa. Com muita coragem, o mordomo encontrou os olhos do seu Mestre, "Você tem algum outro momento melhor? Ou será depois que eu torcer o seu pescoço?" Damien perguntou calmamente inclinando a cabeça. Não um segundo depois, o mordomo correu para fora do quarto e voltou com o Senhor Reverale após vinte minutos. "Damien, vamos ter um chá da tarde atrasado?" o Senhor Reverale veio saudar, mas o mestre da casa tinha outros planos. Avistando a faca que estava cravada na maçã sobre a mesa, ele a alcançou para retirá-la. Justamente quando o Senhor Reverale foi trocar um aperto de mãos com ele, Damien tomou posse de sua mão para colocá-la sobre a mesa. Em um movimento ágil como se estivesse cortando cebolas, ele decepou os quatro dedos do homem de sua mão fazendo-o uivar e gritar de dor. "Ninguém toca no que é meu. Tenho certeza de que isso vai lhe lembrar na próxima vez que pensar em tocá-la," suspirou Damien como se estivesse cansado de dizer às pessoas para manterem suas mãos sujas longe de suas posses. Conheça Damien Quinn, um vampiro de sangue puro que é um completo narcisista, grosseiro com suas palavras e mesquinho apesar de ser rico que pechincha quando comprou um escravo do mercado negro. Por outro lado, conheça Penelope que acredita ser uma 'convidada' por alguns dias na casa dos Quinn enquanto pretende escapar do estranho vampiro que precisa de terapia. ~ Discord: https://discord.gg/K63uVqN

I'm Xavier Cromwell, a 21-year-old university student and web novel author. My days are pretty routine—attending classes, managing assignments, and squeezing in time to write my novel "RISE FROM THE ASHES". Today seemed no different, the steady clatter of my keyboard filling the room as I crafted another chapter. But then the doorbell rang, interrupting my flow. DING! I sighed, reluctantly pushing away from my desk and heading to the door. Little did I know, my life was about to take a turn I never saw coming. The moment I opened the door, something—or rather someone—came barreling into me. It was like a pink blur, and before I could even react, I was on the floor, knocked flat by what felt like a human missile. Clutching onto me, the pink rocket—no, a girl, her arms wrapped tightly around me—gazed up with sparkling eyes and, in the sweetest, most endearing voice, she whispered: "I've finally found you, my HUSBAND~" *** Note: The story takes place in an alternate universe, with a different geography and countries. Genre: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Romance, Smut, Yandere, Mecha, Harem, Sci-fi A/N: [About NTR and Yuri] "No one will be harmed. I swear to God."

In this world, having a spirit animal isn't just superstition or a metaphor. Half the population can actually summon them for their personal needs, which brings forth a lot of opportunities for humanity as a whole! People use it for good, making our way of life easier. But wherever there are opportunities, danger lurks. Living in this version of New York, the quite literal concrete jungle, makes our protagonist's life all the more interesting. I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

This is gonna be an uncanny-valley/doppelganger novel set in modern times. A man falls asleep and wakes up to the apocalypse. It'll probably be more horror survival in the initial stages and later on some more action mixed in. I only plan to have 2 members in this harem. There will eventually be powers in the world and civilization will be restarted in a way. Honestly, considering my knowledge of myself I'll probably stop before getting to that point. I'll realize I haven't posted a chapter in a while and stress out about it only to think no one probably cares or that it's been so long that I feel my work won't match up to previous chapters and stop. Or maybe it's just a massive amount of procrastination. Cover art isn't mine and was made by Koma440

The Sovereign of the Heart A sovereign born from love He forged the world with broken hands He crafted life from threads of dreams, For in his heart, there bloomed a seed The Seed of Love shaped from Obsession and greed And in his soul, a shadow grew— A yearning deep, unknown, and true. For all the life he’d once bestowed, He felt the weight of love erode, And in the quiet, darkened hours, He longed for death’s cold, Love He sought the stillness, to exist in the dark And found peace in death's embrace. For love, he gave the world its breath, Yet For love, he also brought it death The sovereign of the Heart A sovereign lost, forever. A cycle repeats forever. (I don’t own the cover. Pls try this out it’s more than just brain rot I hope maybe not lol.)

As she held her knife to my throat she spoke to me. "I am going to rape you." "What?" I laughed. This is a classic tale of reverse gender morality/chastity about a dude named Jason. Jason's life was neither awful nor great before. Just a chill guy living a chill life. He has always dreamed of being pursued by a Yandere, but that's just not how women work in real life. Until, *Isekai noises* He wakes up in a reverse world. While most men might pursue a Harem, Jason (a bit of a masochist) just wants to be held down, tied up, and loved the way only an insane stalker could. Realizing that Women and men have reversed he see's this as his opportunity to shoot for the stars and seek out his goal. Women out number men 3:1 in the new world. If you want to just hang out and shoot the shit I have a discord for that too. https://discord.gg/9tZbafuaYU

Love had no place where humans were trying to survive. when they turned 10 years old their lives turned from heaven to hell, they were declared to have an useless power. Thrown into an arena of death, a nightmarish battleground where alliances were fleeting, and trust was a rarity, Keiran and Luna confronted harrowing challenges. Their father, consumed by lust for power, had cast them into this hellish arena, hoping they would emerge as formidable survivors. In this area there were no rules only winners and dead bodies.

An 11-year-old boy suddenly woke up, "...wait, where am I?" "...I see, so this is the so-called transmigration." "hahaha.....hellll yaaaahh." "It's my time to show the world who the boss is." But he didn't realize what he caused, "Wait, this isn't what should be... why is he here, and where's that prostitute? And why is my lover with him?" "Fuck, what the hell is happening here? He shouldn't be here, and that guy should be dead, but how is he alive....urgh," he grumbled. "This is MY FUCKING WORLD, why are these guys interfering...aahhhhh," he shouted. A transmigrator who thought 'doing good deeds and fighting against evil will make him a hero and ruler of this world' now made a very small mistake which leads to, "My wife....is a wonderful woman," the mob character. "Why? Why? Why? Why......" the mob character rumbled. "Do you....believe in god?" the mob character questioned with a messed-up expression. "S-Shall we get m-marry?" "..." the mob character was shocked. "I don't know why but I like you, I guess." "...." the mob character was too shocked. "I like you, so be my son-in-law?" "...." the mob character was too-too shocked. "How about marrying my daughter and me at the same time?....what do they call that hmmm...'oyakodon,' right?" 'cough, cough.' "What?" the mob character was finally snapped. "Big Brother, when will we get married?" "........" Transmigrator never expects a certain 'Mob character' and how that 'Mob character' becomes a great disaster for the entire world because of his single mistake. A/N: This is my first time writing, so give me your honest opinion whether it is good or bad, but please don't be harsh on me... okay, I will try my best. CHOTTO MATTE....The first five chapters, The Transmigrator will be one to explain everything about this new world.
