Fairy Lantern

[The criteria for unlocking the system have been fulfilled.] [System synchronization with host commencing.] [Synchronization complete. Congratulations. You have been given a chance to become the most desirable human in this world, just as you wished.] “This isn’t what I wished for.” [What seems to be the problem?] the voice asked, a hint of curiosity in her tone. “I asked to be the most desirable human, not a woman!” he exclaimed, frustrated as he cupped his newfound breasts. Sylvester Lancaster, a dedicated and kind-hearted unactractive policeman, often dismissed and treated like a doormat, snaps after discovering his newlywed wife in bed with his best friend. Consumed by rage, he goes on a violent rampage, only to realize the horrific extent of his actions when the blood cools—he has committed murder. Panicked, he attempts to flee but is struck by a car and meets his untimely death. However, death is far from the end. Sylvester awakens in a morgue, only to find himself in a bizarre alternate universe—trapped in the body of a stunning young woman named Cara Bolton. In this new world where Sylvester has transmigrated to, vampires, werewolves, witches, and other supernatural beings coexist in a fragile balance with humans, their uneasy peace marked by underlying tensions and hidden conflicts. Among the supernaturals, vampires reign supreme as the most dominant and influential. The system reveals to Sylvester that he now wields two new skills: the power to read minds and the ability to detect lies, skills inherited from Cara, the body’s former inhabitant who was a fairy. The system assigns him quests to complete, allowing him to level up and gain all remaining skills a fairy possesses. Many of these missions involves sex, manipulating and exploiting people, as well as infiltrating the vampiric council.

Books have always been Emma's escape, especially romance novels where the girl ends up with the charming billionaire. Sometimes, She would wish she could be like the female lead, trading her reality for something magical. One day at the airport, waiting for her flight, she whispered: “I wish I could be her…” “That can be arranged,” a deep, confident voice replied. The moment she turned that was the moment nothing in her life has been the same since. Now, she was caught in a whirlwind of stories, jumping between worlds where the lines between fiction and reality blur. Each step pulls her deeper into a mystery she don’t fully understand. Someone or perhaps something is holding the key to it all. And every time she thought she was figuring it out, the book seemed to rewrite itself—changing everything she thought she knew. A Transmigration Story With A Lot Of Twist!

For centuries, the human has been kept in the dark about the existence of the supernatural world. However, as rumors spread and fear grows like an epidemic, resistance to peace treaties strengthens, and the fear of an impending war creates tension between species. At the heart of it all are the last of the fae: the perfumers. Descendants of the fairies, they possess the power to create a fragrance that hides supernatural presences and controls their wild instincts, allowing them to walk among humans. But one of them was prophesied to change everything with the power to predict futures and alter destinies. Revered, feared, and coveted by all... until he or she disappeared. Eris, betrayed by her family, has been imprisoned and forced to make perfumes from her cell. Her only hope lies with Aleksi, the Alpha of the most feared wolf pack. And possibly her future husband. Aleksi, the leader of the world’s most powerful pack, has lived with the burden of being Alpha. War, business, and secrets have hardened his heart. For years, he has avoided his destiny, fearing that his Luna, his destined mate, would be too weak for his world. Until a mysterious perfume leads him to the last woman he ever expected: Eris, the strange little fairy who suffers from constant nightmares. And now, that same perfume that drew the most dangerous wolf of all to the fae’s guard, not only to save her... but to claim her as his own, became the trigger for the most perfect future of them all. Magic. Secrets. Explosive passion. As Eris and Aleksi are pulled deeper into a destiny from which neither can escape, will their love be enough to survive the chaos that lies ahead?

Eris, a fairy perfumer with visions of the future, has been imprisoned and forced to work for her ruthless family. But her escape is already in motion, and her greatest weapon is her talent—a fragrance designed to lure the most dangerous wolf of all. Aleksi, the alpha of the fiercest pack and guardian of supernatural beings, cannot resist the call. Not just to save her… but to claim her as his own. Yet fate has more in store than just romance. Amid political intrigue, looming war, and hidden secrets, their bond could change everything… or shatter them both. Ꮺ ָ࣪ ۰ ͙⊹꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹Ꮺ This story is set in a steampunk Victorian era, featuring a wolf (alpha/mate) and a fairy (perfumer/pheromones) as a duo tasked with investigating and preventing supernatural crimes. Expect role-playing dynamics (spy-like missions), spicy scenes with warnings (for those who prefer to skip them), political schemes, and the looming threat of war. I twist every cliché, but we’ll go through them all. Ꮺ ָ࣪ ۰ ͙⊹꒰ᐢ. .ᐢ꒱₊˚⊹Ꮺ

Gu Qianqian never imagined that the most earth-shattering thing she'd ever done in her life would be to fall in love with a man named Lu Zhanbei. He seemed cold, yet was actually fierce. She asked him, "Is what we're doing... is it wrong?" "We're in love." "But you've never said that you love me." "Some love doesn't need to be voiced!" This is a story of an innocent little lamb walking into the lion’s den, this is a story of a restrained man.

No lengthy misunderstandings over this fact~ --- After failing to ascend to the heights of Divinity despite all her preparations, an ancient cultivator finds herself not embracing the emptiness of the void - but the interior warmth of a womb. Her memories intact despite her spirit being a merest fraction of her height - and her trusted Astralism unchanged - she carefully starts over from an infant. How to navigate her family: [really easy with only two parents and an estate full of servants!] How to portray herself: [everyone likes 'sweet' kids and trusts (underestimates) 'weak' girls!] How 'quickly' to reveal the power she gathers: [this region is a 'backwater', let's just take it slow~] How her marriage was arranged before birth: [my parents adore me so at an appropriate time I'll just have it cance- oh?] Dealing with an 'amusing' deceit: ['he' looks worried still, but 'he' doesn't have to worry from me!] Confronting the 'boy' in private: [whatever their iffy plan is, I just obtained a husband-wife~] Even in a new life, | Elua er Goltbred | can't and doesn't *want* to change who she really is. A scheming cultivator. A possessive lover. Neither of those things had been a real hindrance to the Peak of Demi-God.

Potential trigger warnings: > A FL that may seem (to some) like they are being groomed due to 'true age' difference. > A MC that gets a little 'thirsty' a little 'young' but tries to 'keep her own pants on' until the proper age. > A toxic family environment willing to force an unloved child into the role of a crossdresser. A child that grew more than okay with it. > 'Pretty Good Dad' intentionally 'picked on' by his 'sweet daughter' for being a relatively 'minor obstacle'. Seriously, you were warned, average fathers with teenagers. Do not engage your trauma.

This story is about love, revenge, the quest for power, and the right to exist. After being betrayed by his childhood crush and losing his loved ones to a human raid, Erik, a werewolf, ends up on another planet for seven years before he returns to a vastly changed, post-apocalyptic Earth. Originally a timid, unadventurous man, Erik has become far more dominant and assertive upon his return. Together with him comes his beloved but ruthless soul-bound partner and fairy, Elora, who wants Erik to rule and conquer with her by his side. Elora's presence alone makes Erik more powerful than others at this level, but will he find out what else makes him special? Follow them as they use the knowledge and strength they gained on Söl to navigate an Earth filled with magic, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. Along the way, Erik and Elora will meet a diverse cast of characters, some of whom Erik might have known in the past, and some he did not, but all with their own story and desires. Will Erik be able to take revenge for the betrayals of the past? And what else will he discover along the way? ****** Disclaimer: There will be some R18 scenes, but most of the time, they will be a part of character development and not simply smut. In other words, if you decide to skip them, you'll likely miss out on some character development, but I promise to keep plot development out of it. No NTR No Yuri (there might be interactions between girls when there is a scene with the MC and more than one woman, though the MC will always be the focus. To be clear, yuri means a romantic/physical relationship between two women, meaning no two women will ever have sexual interactions with each other without the MC present. That said, Elora enjoys serving women up to him on a platter, and watching him have sex with them. She enjoys dominating, observing. and playing with the other women in the MC's harem together with him, and thus will occasionally join him in such a way. I don't believe any of that is technically yuri, but I understand that my interpretation is debatable and if any of those things weird you out, I advice you to avoid this novel.)

The Lantern of Lost Wishes Deep in the heart of Luminwood Forest, where the air hums with secrets and fireflies weave trails of forgotten dreams, there is a legend of an ancient lantern that can grant lost wishes. No one knows who made it or why, but those who go looking for it rarely find their way back. For Elyra, the lantern is more than a story. It’s a chance. Haunted by a past she can’t change and a future slipping through her fingers, Elyra sets out to find the lantern, clutching nothing but a faded map and a fragile hope. But the forest is alive. It shifts and listens. Creatures of shadow, known as the Wraithbound, follow her every move, feeding on the desperate wishes of others. Elyra’s only ally is a mysterious stranger with golden eyes and a grin that hides more than it reveals. He’s cursed, dangerous, and far too familiar with the forest’s tricks—and yet, Elyra can’t shake the feeling that he’s the only one who truly understands her. With every step deeper into the woods, Elyra discovers that wishes are never free, and some are lost for a reason. The closer she gets to the lantern, the heavier the cost becomes—secrets unravel, alliances shatter, and the forest itself begins to turn on her. Elyra must decide how far she’s willing to go to reclaim what she’s lost and whether some dreams are better left untouched. Because in the Luminwood, every wish carries a price, and once the lantern’s light finds you, it’s impossible to turn back. A story of longing, sacrifice, and the magic we hold onto when all else fades, The Lantern of Lost Wishes is a journey into a world where dreams flicker like fireflies, and hope is both a blessing and a curse.

"BASED ON HISTORY" In a world governed by wealth, ambition, and illusion, young Diogenes of Sinope begins a life-altering journey in pursuit of truth. After a scandal involving his father tarnishes his family’s name, Diogenes flees to Athens, where he encounters the enigmatic philosopher Antisthenes. Under his guidance, Diogenes begins to strip away the masks society demands he wear and confronts the uncomfortable truths hidden within himself and the world around him. Through vivid encounters with merchants, beggars, politicians, and philosophers, Diogenes challenges the values of his time, wielding wit and irreverence as his weapons. His journey is marked by struggles to reconcile his disdain for materialism with his lingering fears, his defiance of authority with his longing for purpose, and his relentless pursuit of freedom with the cost of alienation. As he grows from a questioning student into a sharp-tongued cynic, Diogenes sets out to illuminate the lies that enslave humanity—even if it means walking alone through the shadows. With every step, he reshapes what it means to live a virtuous life, leaving a legacy that will echo through the annals of philosophy. "The Lantern Bearer" is a richly detailed and introspective novel that explores the boundaries of freedom, the nature of truth, and the courage required to live authentically. Through Diogenes’ story, it asks timeless questions: What is the cost of honesty in a world of deception? And is freedom worth it?. 35 new chs/week
