Neck Cracking Trope

At dawn. The light of dawn lingered, hesitant to arrive, while the remnants of the setting sun had long faded into darkness. Within the city shrouded in thin mist, the hidden churches in the shadows, veins clinging to the cracks in walls, the gnawing sounds echoing from the sewers, and the murmuring shadows... A lantern bearer strolled forward.

And in an instant he pulled out of me. "What the fuck Zard" I was soo frustrated then he pulled me back by my neck his gaze piercing through my "then answer me love". I began stammering "n-no-nope I don't wanna see him aga...ahhhhh", a moan escaped me as his member entered me interrupting me.

Flying cars, magical technology, and Gates leading to corrupted worlds? Mav only has one goal: survive. In order to accomplish this goal, he must grow, or he will die in the onslaught of the incoming Apocalypse-- according to the original plot, millions of Gates will open up across the world in four years and the demonic corruption will spread beyond the Gates. Many people will die and Mav’s existence indicates an unstoppable butterfly effect that may end with the main characters’ deaths. But he can’t help but start getting attached to the main cast. The stakes are rising as the people he has come to love are threatened. And Mav might be the only one who knows about the mysterious organization that is determined to tear everything down.

[Main Plot Completed] A love doomed from the start, a lost cause, a losing battle—and yet, neither hearts are willing to let go until the very end. ----- Arlan Cromwell, the epitome of the perfect Crown Prince. All he wants is to live a normal life of a human but the life of a dragon is anything but normal. He has but one goal—to find his runaway betrothed and behead her. What happens when he discovers that the woman who has snagged his heart is the one he vowed to kill? Oriana, a Black Witch, disguising herself as a man, has spent her entire life on the run without knowing what she is running away from. When the mysteries of her past slowly catch up to her, she has no one to turn to…except Arlan. But when she learns that the man she has given her heart to is the same man who wants to kill her, how can she accept the cruel card life dealt her? Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

Carn wakes up from a vivid dream where he spent a thousand years as a gargoyle, guarding a demon lord's tomb. In this dream, he possessed supernatural powers, including the ability to teleport and instantly kill anyone within range who broke eye contact with him. Heroes, saintesses, adventurers, all fell before him. When he returns to his normal life, things take a strange turn. Carn realizes he still has the gargoyle’s powers, and the world he has woken up to seems different. But adjusting to the new reality is not the real issue. Carn brings back something nobody in this world has imagined. Not only he imports his powers to this alternate Earth, but he also carries over his gargoyle instinct and his hobby. He loves snapping human necks. Whether it's ordinary humans, explorers, super soldiers, cyborgs, mutated beasts, monsters, or mysterious entities from other dimensions, Carn eagerly anticipates snapping their necks, one neck at a time... In secret, of course.

This is a story about a Villain and a Witch. Please note that this work will also be made available on Scribblehub and Royal Road, in addition to its initial publication here. Three years ago, the sky over the magical world of Nethermere cracked, spewing spaceships from a so-called "superior" civilization. Their invasion? A spectacular flop. King Burn of Soulnaught—the most powerful man alive, a tyrant, and a genius—crushed them. Or so the legend goes. But the invaders stayed, hawking shiny tech and worming their way into Nethermere’s future. Colonization loomed. Burn wasn’t having it. If anyone was going to conquer the world, it’d be him. And he succeede—nope. She happened. A maddeningly beautiful witch reset time itself—seven loops—undoing everything Burn worked for. Her curse turned him into a pawn in her twisted game. "Why? You're wondering if I've trapped you in a time loop?" she taunted, all smiles. "It’s not just a spell but a curse! Dear Villain, you are now Witchbound!" Burn, furious and cursing her name, didn’t know what infuriated him more: her power, her schemes, or the fact that her presence tempted him in ways he didn’t dare admit. Usually, the devil did the tempting. But when the angel was this seductiv—COUGH—manipulative, even the devil felt the chill. What to expect from this story: A time-loop-checkpoint conquest story where the end goal is conquering the universe. The MCs? A genuine, unapologetic villain rocking the Lawful Evil vibe and a devastatingly beautiful Chaotic Good witch. Dripping with sarcasm, paired with slow-burning worldbuilding so you'll figure things out as you go. It’s medium-paced, tackling heavy topics like politics, war, and tight plotting—but don’t worry, it's squeezed in romance-comedy breaks to keep you breathing. Speaking of romance, it’s one of the major centerpieces of the story. One female lead, no romantic drama. But beware: this story might have too much romance for you to handle. If you’re afraid of that, well... only cowards skip out on romance! Expect a cocktail of classic high fantasy tropes blended with science fiction. Think modern isekai/gate/space vibes, featuring magic, mecha, strong-to-stronger characters, manipulative masterminds, and deliciously insane moments. Add to that: character growth, intricate connections, a Seinen demographic focus, kingdom building, military campaigns, world invasions, an apocalyptic tone, and sprinkles of legends, myths, world lore, and fairy tales. You’re welcome.

"What if I'm more broken than you realize? What if I'm too messed up for you?" My voice cracked as I looked up at him with tears brimming my lashes. "What if my world is too crazy for you, Dorado?

Given some money and promptly sent out of the castle, Uta’s misfortune took a darker turn. He was betrayed by the summoning king, who ordered soldiers to kill him. Slashed down by their blades, Uta’s life appeared to end there. But they had overlooked a crucial fact. While Uta was indeed a student with no apparent role, he harbored an incredible secret. Hanasaki Uta was not human. He was a dark god in disguise.

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope. WARNING: BLOODY, GORE, ANIMAL ABUSE, MENTION OF RAPE, DRUGS, YANDERE....

Vale Nerine was a strange cake. A cake with different flavors, holding a taste impossible to replicate by human food. And this perfect creature, the perfect cake, could only be gotten by the person in him being crushed to tasteless flour. Mixed with hypnotic sweetness, leavened by a sprinkle of torture. A crack of psych, a melting of resistance, and a glass of defensive apathy. Before being baked by the bakers with precision into this pinnacle of excellence. The five forks had a change of mind. They all wanted a bite.

I hope to improve on this in the future, but I did want to warn my readers.) - Attempts at humor

A woman, doomed to live the life of a fantasy romance novels villainess again and again. Decides that this life she will simply be lazy, allow the story to drag her where it may However, the other main characters are acting rather strange this time around. They simply will not leave her to laze about in peace. This is my first book, and also incredibly self indulgent. Created mostly for my own enjoyment. Featuring: an mc who gives no fucks, obsessive male leads, and gratuitous use of fantasy tropes. What more can a gall ask for. (There is no weird sibling stuff, and there is very little of the miscommunication trope. Mostly because I personally dislike that sort of thing.)

Thrown into what seems like the typical afterlife scenario, Garfield is ready for all the usual tropes: a bumbling god, a second chance at life, and maybe an overpowered cheat skill. But things don’t quite go as expected. After an unexpected encounter with a goddess, he is given a second chance in a world where mana is essential—but there’s no overpowered skill or destined hero role waiting for him. Instead, he receives a simple blessing and a cryptic warning: he never actually died.

I’ve just bound a godly system at the start of my journey. The system’s spirit, who calls herself the Goddess of Time—Aira—seems to have latched onto me. "Are you male or female?" "Come on, you idiot, with how cute I am, of course, I’m a girl!" Right in front of me, this harmless-looking demon slime somehow evolves into something that can devour entire worlds? "Oh no, the contract needs blood to sign? That’s going to hurt..." And just like that, knowing a thousand different tropes of another world, my adventure began. “How can this be a demon slime? This is basically a little angel!"

We all know how the trope goes, someone admirable, kind, just, and or caring gets hit by an unforeseen accident and dies, being given a second chance and gets to roam a world far different from their previous one. They go off to be an adventurer, a hero, a farmer, a merchant or possibly a mercenary. So many choices, so many possibilities. But, what if. Someone who wasn’t so deserving of a second chance, was reborn in the very same manner as many of the heroes we grew fond of. But they stuck with the same mentality from their previous life and pursued the living of not being an adventurer, or a hero, not even someone as regular as a civilian. But as a ‘Murderer’ driven only by their own desire. To watch the world spin into a spiral of violence and chaos.

On a normal tuesday, the world broke apart, the sky started cracking and from the firmament above nightmarish creatures started descending. The ground split and from the depths, humans greatest fears rose above But Humans are known to be adapteable and hard to kill, adapting and spreading, just like a virus. Brought down to the bottom of the food chain, they were forced to adapt and that they did. Hunting down those creatures and even creating things like armor and weapons out of their carcasses. One brave human found out you could use their heart to enhance your body, by consuming it, simultanously onlocking a screen that recors those enhancements. twenty years after the day the world was turned upside down, humanity finally created their own foothold in the world once more and moved up the food chain. This isn't a story of struggle though, but more of a story of two friends just fooling around and somehow dealing with the consequences
