In the newly created world of Exiastgardsun, the elf goddess Lucretia births 12 elf children from the Mana Tree, each with unique personalities and abilities. Raised together, they grow from mischievous toddlers into skilled young adventurers. As they mature, they train in combat, craft personalized weapons, and develop distinct roles (healer, sniper, mage, etc.). Led by curiosity and camaraderie, they leave their home to explore the wider world, encountering dwarves, centaurs, beastfolk, and humans. Their journey is filled with battles (some deadly, but always revived), inventions (like magic bags), absurd chess matches (Fahleena is a turbo-charged chuunibyou queen who treats every chess match like an intergalactic war), and deepening bonds. Despite their quirks, rivalries, and chaotic moments, the 12 siblings grow stronger as a party, each slowly coming into their own as future heroes of Exiastgardsun. This world is ridiculous, beautiful, and very possibly doomed (but it’s going down with style). hopefully.

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

Fourteen years later, I’m alive and well… pretending to be a fruit shop owner in the East. My fruits? Magical. My servants? Lethal. My identity? A royal secret buried by time and tragedy. Then came the masked prince. A one-night stand. A soulmate mark. Now he’s searching for me like I’m the last goddess-blessed peach on the continent. I was supposed to lie low. I ended up breaking the world instead. Reincarnation, magic, smut, and a second chance at destiny—this is the story of a princess who just wanted peace… and ended up with a prophecy.

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

MONSTORY is a dark, character-driven dystopian fantasy set in a fractured future Seattle, where Alucards, winged beings bred in captivity, have never known freedom. Engineered for labor, silenced by law, and bound by control collars, they serve without rights, their wings bound and identities erased. Igor, once a slave in a coal mine and now a servant in the estate of a powerful human family, survives by suppressing who he truly is. But as fragments of memory return and his conditioning begins to fail, the cracks in his obedience widen. Haunted by a name he wasn’t allowed to keep, and a violence he was trained to deliver, Igor teeters between the roles of monster and man. As old power structures begin to fracture, MONSTORY explores the cost of survival in a world built on inherited cruelty. With themes of captivity, trauma, rebellion, and the aching need to be seen as human, this is a story about one enslaved Alucard's quiet war for autonomy, and the fire that might burn everything down to get it. What to Expect: - A brainwashed vampire-like weapon who might kill you... Or just spiral into an identity crisis first. - Mind games, manipulation, and memory wipes, because therapy is illegal and cults are trendy. - Slow-burn character drama where trauma is the main currency and no one gets out clean. - Rebellion run by morally bankrupt idealists. You’ll root for them. You’ll regret it. - Found family, lost family, broken family, pick your flavor of pain. - Beautiful prose with teeth. Think poetry, but it bites back. - A dark, tangled web of secrets that punishes you for trusting anyone, including the narrator. - Emotional devastation with the occasional flash of tenderness, like a knife glinting in moonlight. What Not to Expect: - OP wish-fulfillment MCs who level up by chapter 3. This isn’t that kind of grind. - A harem. Unless you count trauma bonding with your enemies. - Quirky comic relief characters. We have one guy who tells jokes. He’s not okay. - Morality that’s easy to swallow. It’s more like choking on holy water. - Fluffy romance. It’s complicated, possibly cursed, and not approved by HR. - Adults who fix things. The adults are the problem.

You were never supposed to exist. So why does the system fear you? Vael Drayce was just another zero—an unranked, unnoticed student in a hypercompetitive academy ruled by rankings, simulations, and scan-based power systems. Except... his scan fails. Every time. Glitch. That’s what they call him. A walking error. An invisible mistake. But when a forbidden system activates inside him—a sarcastic, unstable AI named Glint—Vael begins unlocking memories that were never his. Memories of versions. Experiments. Echoes. Memories of being erased. As fragments of the past resurface, Vael uncovers a terrifying truth: he’s not just outside the system—he’s the lock keeping something worse sealed behind it. And now... the seal is cracking. Welcome to the Academy of Silence. Rank up, or vanish.

"I'm one game away from reaching the master rank! I'll do it tomorrow, though. A true gamer knows when to refresh his mind and increase his victory chances!" Adam smiled in anticipation as he went to sleep on this special day. However, he could have never imagined the surreal awakening that awaited him. "What's wrong with my voice?!"  "Claws?

He rushed down the dimly lit hotel corridor, his breath quickening with every step. Sweat dripped from his brow. He pulled off his tie, tearing his shirt open in a frenzy. His steps were getting heavier. He was desperate to reach his room. Finally, he fumbled with the lock, heart racing, only to freeze at the sight before him. A woman in a striking red dress stood inside, a glinting knife in one hand and a wine glass in the other, her eyes fixed on him with a chilling smile. The air crackled with danger, and in that instant, he realized he might not be the one in control after all.

The ground is cracked with realm fractures. The sky bleeds twilight. And a strange fruit, glowing in the dark, offers power but at a cost.

Guided by a strange, unnerving figure known only as Riftling, they face evolving threats called Daevarian's beings that are far more than monsters. As realms shift and secrets unravel, the six must survive long enough to understand what they are… and what they’re becoming. But some truths come too late. Some powers come at a price. And in a world where time bends, shadows speak, and fate itself is fractured even heroes can vanish.

Jiang Chen never expected to find himself in a world of cultivation, let alone as a core disciple of a famous sect. Destined to play the villain’s role, his future was full of trouble. He had plotted against the protagonist, crippling his dantian and turning him into a disgraced outcast, barely holding onto his place in the sect. If not for a surprising twist, Jiang Chen’s story might have ended as a small chapter in the protagonist’s grand journey. Understanding how risky his position was, Jiang Chen gave a sly grin. Alone, he thought to himself: 'Is the protagonist strong? No doubt about it. But am I afraid? Definitely not. Why? Because I have the Immortal Great Villain System!' Then he paused, his expression changing slightly. 'Wait… there’s more than one protagonist?' Instead of feeling worried, his grin grew wider. 'Well, isn’t that perfect?' With a sharp glint in his eyes, Jiang Chen made a bold declaration to himself: 'As the ultimate Great Villain, I’ll defy Heaven’s will and stand at the top!'

All Bella ever desired was love, but her eyes only saw bone-chilling coldness until the day she was dragged into the depths of hell. Why? Because she wasn't the heroine of that so-called 'fairy tale'. Her fate was even crueler than she could imagine, described in a few lines written in an old book. A book that was written by some higher beings for their own entertainment, but they tossed it aside after just one cycle, not caring about the crumbling world within. After repeatedly reading the lines that depicted her death, Bella finally realized her bitter reality. Perhaps, if she went back death was the only ending... but instead of sorrow, a crazy glint shone in her emotionless eyes. After all, she had already died many times in the hellish place she entered a long, long time ago. "It's not a big deal to die once more, right?" In the midst of the pitch-black darkness seeping through the cracks in the sky, a beautiful silhouette swimming in a pool of water looked at her with knitted brows, showing dissatisfaction at her comment. He extended his hand and pinched her nose with a sigh. "Why do you always think of the worst?" A faint blush appeared on his cheeks when her previously emotionless eyes turned into crescents, peering at him playfully. "You-!" Alas, before he could finish his sentence, a warm hand grabbed his wrist and yanked him out of the water into a tight embrace. A deep exhale brushed against his pale skin as Bella nuzzled her nose against the crook of his neck with a satisfied expression. "If you give me a kiss, I won't say it anymore." A giggle escaped her lips when the man in her arms froze, his exposed neck turning a brilliant shade of crimson. 'How cute.' ------------- ------------- This story revolves around lots of characters as they discover their cruel reality. There are many supernatural beings and magical realms.

Dalton's eyes locked onto mine, his gaze intense. "My name is Dalton," he rumbled, his deep voice sending shivers down my spine. I swallowed hard, trying to process the surreal situation.

In the town where sea breeze meets falling petals, two hearts begin to awaken. Shiomachi is a quiet coastal town where the cherry blossoms bloom like pink snow each spring, and the salty air carries secrets of the sea. Ren Takahashi — sixteen, quietly talented, with music in his soul and the weight of expectations on his shoulders — lives a simple life in a middle-class family. A gifted guitarist who prefers to keep to himself, Ren’s days are filled with the rhythms of school, home, and the endless horizon beyond the rooftops. Aoi Fujimura, sixteen and endlessly curious, lives just a few streets away. An artist with a heart full of dreams and a sketchbook always in hand, she sees beauty in every detail of their town: the glint of sunlight on the waves, the dance of petals in the wind, the hidden stories of their neighbors. When fate — and a runaway sketchbook — brings Ren and Aoi together beneath the ancient cherry tree at their high school gate, the course of their lives begins to shift. As the seasons change, so too does the world around them, and what starts as chance encounters slowly weaves into something deeper: friendship, first love, and the bittersweet moments that shape who we become. The Wind of the Cherry Blossoms is a tender, coming-of-age romance set against the vivid backdrop of small-town Japan, where every breeze carries a new beginning and every falling petal holds a promise.

The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her nightgown, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"

Who are you?" I sluttered, attempting to take a step back but my feet seemed rooted to a spot. The mysterious man smiled, his eyes glinting in amusement, "I am someone who knows you," he said, his voice dripping with an otherworldly intensity. "I am someone who has been waiting for you." I looked around, I was surrounded by lifeless Bodies, slaughtered brutally by something worse than a monster, "What happened here?" I asked, struggling to keep my voice steady. The mysterious man chuckled, the sound sending shivers down my spine. "They are dead, you killed them all." He said, his eyes glistening in happiness, "You've become the person I knew you would be." I felt a pang, I looked at my hands, they were covered with blood. However, the question remains: did I really kill all these people? If yes… then who or what am I?

He trod beneath a sky where seldom the sun glinted in on a day when it was bright, while walking in the shadow that memory cast but not the light itself: Reymond Steiner. He was 10 years old when his brother was eaten by something with no name, no form, no pity. He had been called mad by everyone, saying there was never such a creature and condemned by his own blood.
