Lydia Drake

On her birthday, Lydia’s body was overtaken by a spirit, and her soul was transported to another world. Awakening as the wife of Qhah-el, the fifth imperial prince, she found herself embroiled in a battle for the throne. While Qhah-el defends the borders, Lydia was supposed to improve the neglected province entrusted to them. However, the previous owner of the body neglected her job, leaving Lydia despised by the people, and a stranger to her husband. Armed with knowledge that could better the province, and blessed with a crappy system dependent on her husband’s affection, will Lydia choose to stay and turn the tides in her favor? Or will she execute her grand escape plan and forge a new path for herself?

As he breathes his last, he hears the echoes of mechanical voices resonating in his head, granting him a multitude of wishes in the form of Skills, Fortunes, and a new Body.

Ava thought starting university would be exciting, but between getting lost on her first day, struggling with online classes, and surviving off snacks, she quickly realized she had no clue what she was doing. With her best friend Lydia joining her a year later, things started looking up—until a party changed everything.

But when he finally approaches her, she panics so hard she chokes on her drink and embarrasses herself in front of everyone. Lydia watches in horror (or amusement), while Ava wonders if she can ever recover from the most humiliating moment of her life.

Between friendships, romance, and reckless decisions, will Ava find herself—or just more trouble?

[Trigger Warning: Mature Content] They say the Silvermoonlight Masquerade changes fates. It did for Lydia Ashford too, but she lost more than she gained. In a world where strength defines worth, she was wolfless, but she refused to be weak. With beauty that shimmered like stardust in the midnight sky and a mind as sharp as a dagger, Lydia was a name spoken with both awe and envy. But admiration was never enough. She forged her own path, honing her combat skills, proving her intelligence, and standing beside Theodore Sinclair, the Alpha’s son, through every challenge. If she could not shift, she would rise in every other way. The Masquerade should have been another step toward securing her future. Yet fate had other plans. One sip of wine. One moment of weakness. One stranger’s touch. And everything she built turned to ash. The man she trusted turned his back on her. The pack that once praised her cast her aside. And the child growing inside her became her only reason to survive. Banished. Forgotten. A name only whispered in shame. Yet, Lydia did not break, she endured. Five years later, she returns—not as the girl they discarded, but as a woman ready to reclaim her life. But fate is not done with her. Because the man who marked her as his? The one who unknowingly fathered her child? He’s standing right in front of her. And this time, he’s not letting her go. ...... The glass hovered near her lips.  "Drink," Nickolas commanded, his voice rough with hunger.  Lydia obeyed, parting her lips as the rich, red liquid flowed onto her tongue. But before she could swallow, his mouth was on hers—hot, demanding, merciless.  The wine spilled between them, sliding over her lips, down her chin. But he didn’t stop. He deepened the kiss, his tongue sweeping inside, stealing the taste straight from her mouth, devouring every shaky breath she tried to take.  By the time he pulled away, she was trembling.  His fingers tilted the glass. A slow trickle of wine spilled onto her collarbone, rolling between her breasts, gliding down her stomach.  The moment the first drop touched her skin, his mouth followed.  His lips grazed the delicate curve of her neck before he dragged his tongue along the slick trail of wine, chasing every drop as it slipped between her breasts. His teeth scraped her skin, and before she could react, he latched onto her, sucking deep, his tongue flicking and teasing before his mouth sealed around her hardened peak.  Lydia arched beneath him, her hands fisting into the sheets as heat coiled low in her stomach.  "Nickolas," she gasped, her voice breathless, desperate.  He groaned against her skin, his grip tightening on her waist as he sucked harder, the wet heat of his mouth sending pleasure pulsing through her veins. He alternated between sharp, aching nips and long, slow strokes of his tongue, drawing soft moans from her lips. "Messy," he murmured, his voice thick with satisfaction as he pulled back just enough to watch her squirm beneath him. His fingers traced the path the wine had taken, slow, possessive.  Then his lips brushed lower, over her navel, his breath a sinful caress against her heated skin.  He smirked against her. "I thought your laughter was the most beautiful sound to my ears…" His fingers slid between her thighs, teasing, coaxing, pushing her to the edge without giving her what she needed.  Then, with a slow, deliberate bite against her inner thigh, he whispered, "Until I heard your moans."  A sharp gasp escaped her lips as he kissed her again, his hands gripping her hips, holding her right where he wanted.  "Nickolas," she whimpered.  He chuckled darkly, his lips trailing back up her body, lingering at her throat before he spoke against her ear. "I could get drunk off you."  Lydia swallowed, her body burning, her thoughts unraveling.  But deep down, she already knew—she was the one drowning. 

"A killer’s past is never buried—it waits in the shadows, ready to strike." Ryan Drake was once a legend—a prodigy raised in a dynasty of assassins feared by the underworld. But he walked away, leaving behind the blood-soaked legacy that defined him. Yet, the past never stays dead. When a string of brutal murders shakes the foundations of a decaying city, each victim bears the unmistakable marks of a forbidden technique—Blood Code. And the only person capable of such execution is Ryan himself… or someone trained exactly like him. Hunted by a secret organization, haunted by sins he cannot outrun, and forced into an uneasy alliance with a relentless investigative journalist, Eleanor Cross, Ryan must uncover the truth before he becomes the next target. But as the bodies pile up and old enemies resurface, a chilling realization sets in—his greatest enemy isn’t the syndicate hunting him, but the man who once made him who he is. And when the final truth is revealed, Ryan will face the deadliest question of all: Is he still the hunter… or has he already become the prey?

Lydia has spent six years as the highly efficient and impeccably disciplined personal assistant to powerhouse CEO Carmen Steele. But when she realises she wants more from life than colour-coded schedules and 5 AM meetings, she decides to leave everything behind. The problem? Her reputation as a no-nonsense professional means she’s in high demand—and when she’s offered an exclusive opportunity to become the manager of Freya Vesper, the country’s most famous (and notoriously chaotic) football star, she can’t say no. Freya lives for the thrill of the game, the excitement of the crowd, and the freedom of doing whatever she wants, whenever she wants. She’s never had to follow a schedule in her life, and she certainly doesn’t intend to start now. But with a high-stakes championship coming up and her wild lifestyle making headlines, her management insists she needs someone to keep her in check. Lydia and Freya clash instantly—Lydia finds Freya’s carefree attitude infuriating, while Freya thinks Lydia needs to loosen up. But as their worlds collide and sparks fly, the lines between professional and personal start to blur. She was hired to keep Freya under control. She never expected to fall for her.

Quincy Reigns was the kid nobody noticed—until the day he died. Bullied, overlooked, and dreaming of a life beyond the torment, Quincy’s only solace was his best friend, Drake, and his secret crush on Jade North, the most beautiful girl in school. So when Jade asked him on a date, Quincy couldn’t believe his luck. But luck had nothing to do with it. Jade and her friends weren’t interested in love—they were after power. Dark magic power. And Quincy was the perfect sacrifice. Betrayed and left for dead in an abandoned church, Quincy should have been gone forever. Instead, he was reborn. A mysterious force known only as the *Spawn System* chose him, granting him unimaginable powers: the ability to manipulate shadows, summon weapons from the void, and command forces beyond human comprehension. But this gift came with a price. Quincy was no longer just a boy—he was a weapon, a wildcard in an ancient war between demons, angels, and everything in between. Now, Quincy must navigate a treacherous world of witches, archangels, and mythical creatures, all while uncovering the truth behind his transformation. Why was he chosen? What is the Spawn System hiding? And can he trust anyone—including himself—when the line between hero and monster begins to blur? As Quincy hunts for answers, he’ll face the ultimate choice: seek revenge on those who betrayed him, or rise above his pain to become something greater. But in a world where power corrupts and shadows whisper, survival might cost him his humanity.

Love; is it nothing but a fleeting emotion? Is it something that makes a human better or worse? Does love equal obsession or does obsession equal love? Francisco loved Lydia to the point of no return, to the point where he stained his hands red with blood. His love transfigured into obsession when the thought and risk of losing came up again; he was willing to go to any height to keep her to himself. Lydia, being imprisoned in her own home, accepted Francisco's insanity as love and let him save her. However, after their bloody twists and turns, they left a remanent, a spark that will come to bite them in the future.

[WSA 2025 ENTRY] In Cinder Pack, one out of the seven superior packs, abandoned children on the streets are considered less than the pets owned by many households. They live from hand-to-mouth, covered in dirt and used however those from better families deem fit. As a result, many of them die from starvation at very young ages and those with good-looking appearances sell themselves off to better families in order to live.   While a select few resort to stealing food and taking the crumbs that fall off the table of those of noble birth. This is the case for Aurelia Night and her childhood best friend, Lydia Hayes. But her already miserable life takes a darker turn when she overhears a conversation she shouldn’t.  To hide from the evil men seeking to take her life, she spends the night with a stranger… who kept murmuring something about her being his mate.  The next morning, she is brutally betrayed by the only family she has and hauled off a cliff to die — but she survives. Though she loses her memory, she doesn’t lose the twin boys growing in her belly… Now, seven years later, she has become a reputable member of the rogue community, whose population was quickly declining.  Given the task to kill the head of the hunt itself, Cinder Pack’s twisted and ruthless Alpha, Axton Wolfe, a man who takes relish in the most gory things in life, she finds a way into his residence, working as a maid.  Unaware of the plot on his life, the usually conserved and ruthless man with a hatred for timid and weak things, is disgusted when he finds himself repeatedly drawn to the seemingly timid and weak maid in his residence.  But Aurelia despises him too much to care and bids her time waiting for the right time to strike.  That is… until she finds out a shocking truth about him.  The truth of that night seven years ago. The truth of their cruel fate and why her legs won’t stop shaking from pleasure whenever he was around.  But when ‘kiss’ comes to shove and she has to sink a knife into his heart to live, will she? … To clarify; There will be quite a number of grim things.  Male lead is more than morally grey, twisted, obsessive and possessive. Female lead, tough, thinks on her feet, can stand up for herself, but still a damsel in distress.  Enemies to Lovers? Definitely.  Smut? Well, male lead is OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE!  Welcome to a tortured love story.

Just like some of you who may be reading I am a fan of anime, manga, novels, and other fictions sources.

Have you ever imagined what would happen if you died, but some powerful being decided to reincarnate you and offer you the freedom to choose any world and powers you wanted? What would you choose, to be reborn in a sci-fi world with your own ship to explore the stars, to become a god in a godless world, to be reincarnated surrounded by hot girls, to become the most powerful person? All good choices but not the choices I made. My name is Jackson. I was chosen by one of the Primordials, Brakos, the Primordial Spirit of Time, Stories, and Knowledge, and given this exact choice. We talked, and he offered me any world and powers. I gave him my views and wants for my new life, and one was that I wanted to become powerful, but I wanted to work for it, or else I felt I wouldn't deserve it. Brakos agreed and we started to plan. As I don't like to waste opportunities I did ask for 3 powers. 1: to be reborn with a system-like ability stored inside of 3 books. 2: to be given the power to converse with Spirits forge contracts with them and ask them for help. 3: to be given the power to create a new race of my own creation and become one of them. Brakos liked my plan and selected a very special world. The first world to ever exist. Primus is the world of the Primordials and Primogneitors. Follow me through my adventures as I make friends, run from my village being destroyed, fall in love, take over a school, dismantle criminal organizations, destroy an entire kingdom, fight against the gods and establish a home for myself and my new race, the Dragonians. _____________ Additional tags: BL, Supernatural, High IQ, Werewolf, Academy, Kingdom Building, the strong acting weak, Evolution, Mystery, Non-Human _____________ Not a harem or romance novel.

The world is teetering on the edge of chaos, with powerful steam-driven empires, secret societies, and supernatural horrors vying for control. Protagonist: Lucien "Drake" Graves, a daring, quick-witted rogue with a talent for improvisation, thievery, and smooth talking.

Dark, alluring, and dangerous. 4. The Cheerful Mad Alchemist (Professor Valeria Steinbeck) – A brilliant but utterly chaotic scientist who loves dangerous experiments. She thinks Lucien is the perfect test subject—and maybe more. 5. The Noblewoman-Turned-Thief (Marion Sinclair) – A former high-society lady turned skilled rogue. She’s charming, sophisticated, and always one step ahead. 6. The Gothic Automaton (Clockwork Victoria) – A sentient mechanical woman with a tragic past.

This artifact holds the key to a long-buried conspiracy, an ancient war between humanity and an unseen horror lurking beneath the earth. As factions clash, monsters awaken, and betrayals unfold, Lucien must navigate a world of airship battles, deadly duels, mechanical horrors, and seductive encounters while keeping himself (and his increasingly jealous harem) alive. Meanwhile, a secret cult—known as The Crimson Hand—is hunting him, believing he is the "Chosen One" meant to either save the world or destroy it. And worst of all, some of his lovers might be hiding their own agendas…
