Marked by the Ruthless Princess

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

Moonlit Vows

The forest was unusually quiet that evening, its towering trees casting long shadows under the dim glow of the setting sun. Selene Rivers adjusted her scarf against the biting autumn chill, her boots crunching against the blanket of fallen leaves. She'd come to the woods for solace, hoping the isolation would help her clear her thoughts. Life in the small town of Everhollow had been far from eventful—until tonight. She hadn't planned to stay out late, but as the sun dipped below the horizon, she realized she'd wandered farther than usual. The air felt different now—heavier, as though the forest itself was holding its breath. A low growl shattered the silence. Selene froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned slowly, scanning the woods, but nothing stirred. Her pulse raced as she quickened her pace, her breath visible in the icy air. The growl came again, louder this time, followed by the unmistakable sound of snapping twigs. Panic surged through her veins. Selene broke into a run, weaving between the trees, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But she wasn't fast enough. A massive wolf leapt from the shadows, landing a few feet ahead of her. Its fur was jet-black, its golden eyes gleaming with predatory intent. Selene skidded to a halt, her breath hitching. The creature snarled, baring sharp teeth that glinted in the moonlight. Her mind raced. Wolves weren't supposed to be this big. This wasn't an ordinary animal—it radiated an unnatural intelligence, its gaze locked onto hers with almost human intensity. "Stay back," she whispered, though she knew it was futile. The wolf crouched, muscles coiling as it prepared to pounce. Selene closed her eyes, bracing for the worst. A deafening roar echoed through the forest, and the black wolf was suddenly thrown sideways by a blur of movement. Selene's eyes snapped open as two figures tumbled across the forest floor—a second wolf, larger and more imposing, its fur a stormy gray streaked with silver. The two beasts clashed violently, their growls shaking the air. Selene stumbled backward, her instincts urging her to run, but she couldn't tear her gaze away. The gray wolf fought with ferocity, its movements fluid and precise, as though it had been trained for this moment. After a brutal exchange of claws and teeth, the black wolf let out a pained yelp and darted into the shadows, disappearing into the depths of the forest. The gray wolf stood still, its chest heaving as it watched the retreating figure. Slowly, it turned to face Selene. She should have been terrified. But as the wolf's piercing blue eyes met hers, she felt an odd sense of calm. There was no malice in its gaze—only curiosity and something she couldn't quite place. And then it happened. Before her eyes, the wolf began to shift. Its massive frame contorted, bones cracking and reshaping, fur receding to reveal pale skin. Selene's breath caught as the creature transformed into a man.

Rebirth of the Ruthless

Kazuki was a loner, an ordinary young man who lived in the shadow of the world, always unnoticed and disconnected from those around him. Life passed him by in the mundane, without excitement or companionship, until a mysterious force pulled him into a new world—a sprawling ancient fantasy realm teeming with magic, supernatural forces, and powerful beings beyond imagination. At first, Kazuki was full of hope, thinking he’d finally been given the opportunity for something greater. However, this new world was no paradise. Betrayed by those he trusted, abandoned to die in a brutal struggle for survival, Kazuki faced his darkest moment... but death wasn’t the end. Reborn with a new awareness, Kazuki returned to life in this strange world, stronger and wiser than before. No longer the passive, trusting soul he once was, he has now become something much more dangerous—a man with a new resolve and a thirst for power. His once-lonely existence is filled with purpose, and now he walks a darker path. Vengeance burns in his heart as he begins his quest to discover the truth behind his betrayal and the mysteries of this world. Kazuki is not alone in this journey. By his side is Seraphina, a cunning and ruthless slime with the ability to shift between forms. Her cute and playful nature hides her true potential in battle—where she’s ruthless and terrifying, able to absorb, copy, and steal the abilities of those she faces, making her an indispensable companion. Together, they form a dangerous duo, each feeding off the other's hunger for power. The world Kazuki now inhabits is unlike any he’s ever known. This ancient realm is divided into multiple regions, each filled with unique magic, supernatural beings, and towering cities lost to time. From towering wizards who command the elements, to warriors blessed by the gods, and strange creatures of myth that lurk in forgotten lands, this world is a place where the strong survive, and the weak perish. Magic and superpowers flow through the veins of the land, shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Ancient mysteries lie hidden within the ruins of lost civilizations, where powerful relics and long-forgotten spells await those bold enough to uncover them. But Kazuki soon learns that he is not the only one who has been summoned to this realm. Other powerful individuals from various worlds—be they summoned heroes, legendary warriors, or gods cast down from their celestial thrones—are brought here either by fate, chance, or force. Some arrive with dreams of conquest, while others merely seek a way home. These Isekai-ed warriors hold powers that could shatter the very fabric of reality, and Kazuki will face them in battles for survival, alliances, and dominance. As Kazuki delves deeper into this strange and brutal world, he discovers an unknown power lying dormant within him—an ability that no one, not even the gods of this world, fully understands. With each battle, his strength grows, and the dark potential within him starts to awaken, making him a force to be reckoned with. He and Seraphina are drawn into a web of interdimensional conflicts, where beings from other worlds clash for control, power, or simply survival. Kazuki’s rebirth grants him not only a second chance but a path to becoming something far greater—perhaps even the one who could reshape this world, or destroy it. With new companions, formidable foes, and hidden powers, Kazuki must navigate a dangerous world filled with supernatural forces, treacherous alliances, and ancient secrets. Will he rise to become the master of his destiny, or will he fall once again, betrayed by those who seek to control his newfound power? In this world of magic, gods, and monsters, only the strongest will survive—and Kazuki is determined to claim his place among them.
