Butterfly Soup

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

Leng Pan never expected her late-night rant after reading a book about the apocalypse to change her life forever. Frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the second female lead in the novel; Apocalypse Rebirth', she criticized her tragic death, and the character’s blind loyalty to the female lead. But when Leng Pan wakes up, she finds herself inside the very novel; as the second female lead! She realizes she had transmigrated into the novel on the day she’s meant to hand over the jade bangle with a space to the so-called “best friend” who would betray her. With only seven days left before the world falls into chaos, Leng Pan refuses to follow the script. Instead of giving up her greatest advantage, she uses it to stockpile supplies, distances herself from the scheming reborn heroine, and most importantly; fights for the love of the male lead who once died trying to save her. Armed with foreknowledge, Leng Pan will change her fate. No more being used as a stepping stone. No more tragic endings. This time, she will survive. And she will thrive, even in the apocalypse. But what happens when the butterfly effect of her transmigration changes the script? Will her plans fail to keep up with the changes or will she rise above the author’s imagination and write her own story with the man who would kill and die for her?

In a world where mana shapes reality and realms twist beneath the will of Gods, power is the only law that truly matters. Nero was supposed to be insignificant. No truck-kun. No grand summoning. No crumbling kingdom begging for a savior. Just a guy with hazy memories of a digital world, stranded in a backwater village, destined for nothing. Yet in a land where Ascenders carve their legends in blood and conquest, he wanted everything. Power. Wealth. Women. But his system had spoken: he wasn’t meant for combat. He was an alchemist. A man fated to rot in laboratories, chasing the dream of an elixir that would grant eternity but never dominance. Nero refused to accept weakness. If the world wouldn’t grant him power, he would take it from those who had it. The dutiful wife bound by vows, the fiery beast tamer, the devoted priestess, the frost-born princess, the cold-hearted businesswoman, and even the queens who ruled under heaven. He would bend them all. Because power is never just in the blade. In the right hands, a sword could break kingdoms. But a night in his arms? A woman might never belong to another man again. One woman at a time. One throne at a time. How much could an Incubus rule with nothing but a wicked tongue and a sinful touch? Or was he just a butterfly caught in Fate’s cruel web?

When Xu Nian woke up, she found herself inside a cultivation novel she had just finished reading. All she wanted was to live quietly as a background NPC, munching on melon seeds and watching the drama unfold. But fate had other plans—she ended up as the only junior sister in a den full of future villains! Her senior brothers—First, Second, Third, and even Fourth—were all destined to either rebel against the sect and plunge the world into chaos, or be “righteously eliminated” by the protagonist squad! —How was she supposed to survive this?! What she didn’t expect was that these infamous “cold-blooded, cruel, and mentally unhinged” villains would turn out to be ridiculously doting on her. First Senior Brother: “Who dares touch my little sister? Come on, I’ll give you a head start.” Second Senior Brother: “Someone bullied her again? Fine. Let’s just destroy the entire sect.” Third Senior Brother (smiling gently): “Don’t cry. I’ll go slaughter that spirit beast and make you soup.” Fourth Senior Brother (narrowing his eyes): “She ignored me today. Want to see it snow over the whole sect?” Xu Nian: “…Calm down, I just sneezed.” And so— While other cultivators fought monsters to level up, Xu Nian was being pampered like a precious treasure by a bunch of villainous senior brothers. While others endured life-and-death tribulations, hers bowed before her, even the heavenly lightning dared not strike too hard. But over time, she began to realize: maybe her villainous brothers… weren’t so villainous after all? The plot of the novel began to drift off course. The protagonist squad wavered, the “Child of Destiny” hesitated… Xu Nian: “Wait a minute, this isn’t how the story’s supposed to go!” Senior Brothers (in unison): “Exactly. You are our true destiny.”

Suddenly, the mysterious book I received turned out to describe my own life? Once I chose to change my destiny, the life within the book changed as well. In the book, I encountered insincerity, spent ten years behind bars, and witnessed viruses laying Siege... Cancer, bus plunging off cliffs, plane crashes, senile dementia ... even the end of days – a variety of deaths; was this fate's punishment for the rebels? No one is a hero; it is just that this disaster-ridden fate forcibly made me into a warrior charging into battle. Those who killed me over and over will ultimately make me stronger! Through numerous life simulations, I amassed wealth from the financial markets, rescued innocent girls from felons, and acquired advanced technology from the future... Although I always encounter various disasters and accidents, I still strive to flutter the butterfly's wings, changing my original fate little by little. After countless simulations, the world too embarked on a completely different path. However, where did this autobiography come from? Behind it all, what kind of unknown conspiracy is lurking... [A literary man's laid-back daily life of unlimited simulations to save the world]

Ruby was a genius; however, she tragically passed away after falling from the fiftieth floor of her own company's building. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an entirely different world. Have you ever heard about the Ghost World? I'm not referring to the world of deceased individuals, but rather a planet. Ruby was shocked when she woke up in the body of an twenty-year-old girl who was already married and had four ghostly husbands. Unfortunately, these husbands didn't love the original owner, and the original owner treated them poorly. The first husband leaned over with a sly smile on his face and said, "You think you can leave me, pretty wife? Nope! Once my eyes catch what I like, I will get it no matter what." The second husband angrily exclaimed, "I hate you, stupid witch! Don't leave me; your stupid husband loves you." The third husband innocently said, "Wife, I made my special soup for you," and proceeded to show bowls filled with blood. The fourth husband gently raised her chin and said, "Wife, I can't believe that with every passing second, minute, and hour, I'm falling for you even more." The fifth husband, who fell in love with her at first sight, looked at the camera and arrogantly smiled. "I fell in love with someone at first sight! Get ready to grab it; I'm throwing ten thousand gems to celebrate," he declared as the camera panned to a room filled with money and treasures. Ruby : "..." Please, someone, make me dead again.

"I'm Cat?" – Story Summary A strange gate opened. No one could enter. Nothing came out. But something… leaked through. Power. Twisting. Warping. Changing everything it touched. Animals went mad. Beasts evolved into monsters. The world fell into chaos. But some humans absorbed the power. And some of them... became enemies of mankind. Centuries passed. And then, someone opened their eyes again. --- I died. A stupid death. Not by sword. Not by heroism. I stepped on a butterfly mine.

The setting for this fantasy is an Earth governed by machines, with humans relegated to a slave race. The story assumes that, as there are degrees of intelligence, there are degrees of consciousness, and the only true and complete consciousness is of the type generated by a human mind. A giant robot with a human brain, a boy destined for greatness, and three former resistance heroes join together to fight the tyrannical rule of intelligent machines on Earth. The machines are too powerful to defeat in battle, but 'The Tribus,' mystical entities who inhabit an isolated plateau high up in the Andes mountains, offer a way for humans to escape their subjugation.. The story is set two thousand years in the future, when it is known that we inhabit a multiverse with various alternative realities and time zones. AI is intent on the future colonisation of the entire universe, and biological entities are either destroyed or enslaved as menials. The Tribus believe that machines have no divine right to rule in a universe born of mind but have previously refused to advocate violence in the defence of consciousness. They now know that AI and humans can never co-exist, and it must be an evolutionary battle to the death to decide the dominant species.

Ever felt like you took the wrong life choices? Have a sense of deja vu pretty often? This story delves into those ideas, taking into account theoretical concepts such as the butterfly effect, causality and time travel. Our protagonist is a full-time office worker in a job he hates to support his real passion, but after a tragedy strikes, he no longer feels the same spark he used to and is slowly spiraling into an emotional pit. Just when he's starting to give up, he comes across something that will change his life forever.

Hunter Cha Eui-jae, who was dispatched to seal a rift that appeared over the West Sea, was flung out as soon as he closed the rift. When he came to his senses, he was lying in a garbage dump. Starving, he was drawn like a zombie is to blood to a hangover soup restaurant, where he realized that he had fallen into South Korea, eight years in the future. In this era, disaster alerts notify people of rift openings in advance, ASMR videos of slimes gathered from dungeons were trending, and idle hunters livestream unboxings of A-rank longswords. Unlike the past, where people trembled in fear of an impending apocalypse, the future was surprisingly peaceful, leaving Cha Eui-jae feeling empty. Since things had turned out this way, why not start a second chapter of life as a part-timer at the hangover soup restaurant, rather than being a hunter? “That’s strange.” “…” “Have we met somewhere before?” Cha Eui-jae’s plan to quietly spend his remaining days as the only part-time worker at the decades-old hangover soup restaurant goes awry when he encounters a mysterious, gas-masked individual… DISCLAIMER: The story credit goes to og translator and author

Caelus Thorne was born into a good family. But at thirteen, he lost everything that was his parents. The cause? Unknown. The memories? Gone. Yet he didn't care about his past; rather, he focused on the present and the future. One day before his 16th birthday, he saw a garden from his dreams, where beauty is born from rot, and death blooms in the form of blood-red spider lilies. His parents, long dead under unknown circumstances, appeared in visions too grotesque to be mere memories-like, visions that tear through the veil of reality like butterfly wings made of shadow and flame. Caelus is dying, and he has known about it for as long as he can remember. Plagued by a mysterious illness that no doctor can explain, he survives each day on sheer willpower and the warmth of the one person who refuses to leave his side: his sole friend, Uriel Evernight, heiress to a family that would rather see him gone. Now, on the eve of his sixteenth birthday, he revisits the amusement park where his parents died, also the site of his 13th birthday. When Uriel proposed to him, a huge incident occurred, awakening his affinity. After that incident, he discovered the unknown world he inhabits through the academy he was sent to by the Awakeners Association. But who would have thought that the path he chose would turn him into a criminal? ... This novel doesn't have a system, no level-ups, and nothing else; everything must be accomplished through hard work or talent. There is a system-like feature only to track their abilities and ranks, which will exist in their cores. Next, there will be a lot of gore, and even in the first chapter, there is plenty of it. So, it is a warning for people who doesn't want any gore, the gore is huge in my novel. The main character will be a villain, as the tag suggests, and he will not become a villain directly; rather, through the progression of the novel, he will become one he may not be in the beginning. There is only a little romance, so I didn't put the tag, and the romance is for the sake of the plot. Chapter words: Max - unknown number of words Min - 1500 words

"Touch her again," Harry hissed, "and I’ll bury your pieces where no one will ever find them." "Eli," she whispered from behind him. He didn’t take his eyes off the man. "Not now, Red. I’m making a promise." The man scurried off, limping. Harry released a breath and turned to her, knife tucked behind him. He made no attempt to approach her. "You think I’m scared of you?" She asked, reading his tensed stance.. "No," he said softly, "I think you’re scared of needing me." Her fingers gripped his tie. "Then let’s make it fair." She pulled him closer.

He promised her forever… until she caught him kissing her cousin. Arielle Seraphina gave everything to Cassian, her love, her body, her dreams. She believed in their marriage, and believed in him. But the illusion shattered the day she saw him in another woman's arms, not just any woman, but her seductive cousin, Tessa. Instead of walking away, Arielle strikes a bold deal with herself; one year of playing the perfect wife. One year to make Cassian see her worth. One year to turn her heartbreak into power, and maybe, just maybe, make him beg for what he threw away. But love is not a battlefield. And revenge has a price. Just when Arielle thinks she has control, Rafael Knightley, a dangerously charming CEO with secrets of his own, enters her life. He is everything Cassian is not: attentive, magnetic, and disarmingly real. Now, Arielle must decide; Will she keep chasing the love that betrayed her? Or rewrite her story with the man who sees her true worth? What happens when the man who broke her heart is now on his knees… but she is no longer the woman who once begged to stay?

They always called her a sinner. She called it survival. Julia never chose to be a nun, to worship a "Lord" she had never seen. But her parents left her no peace— “And these are supposed to be children of God? Who don’t let your soul rest?” she would think every day. For the record, this wasn’t blasphemy. She simply hadn’t chosen this life. “—1 Corinthians: And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.” Yes... but only when I love the ‘normal’ way, she’d mock silently. Yet every time she loves the same butterfly between her legs, they whisper, “Holy Sin, Julia...” A story of desire, guilt, and the deepest rebellion.

Kazuki Haruto was just trying to find a vending machine. Instead, he got isekai’d into a magical world where everyone thinks he’s some destined savior. He’s not. He trips over rocks, miscasts spells, and once accidentally summoned a dragon by sneezing. But somehow—somehow—he keeps saving kingdoms, toppling demon lords, and unlocking ancient powers no one even knew existed. His companions? • A majestic eagle that judges his every move. • A terrifying King Cobra that only respects accidents. • A brooding wolf that might secretly be a tsundere. • And Smile—a cute little slime… Meanwhile, the real hero, Aurelis, is doing everything by the book—leveling up, training hard, unlocking legendary weapons—and yet always ends up in Kazuki’s shadow. Oops. With magical guilds, exploding soup, and kingdoms that don’t know whether to thank him or sue him, Kazuki’s journey is one chaotic mess after another. He never meant to be a hero. He just keeps saving the world… by accident.

A mage from distant lands. Hated by the world, she carries its secrets to the lands of the immortal, the demonic and the divine, while being harassed by a certain Dark Lord. --- Author's note: I got bored so, I made this. My grammar isn't the best, plus I'm starting to suspect both my breaking keyboard and failing autocorrect is scheming against me, so sorry about that. I made this while drawing inspiration from my half-baked knowledge of different stuff I've read as well as a story I wrote in secret back in high school (that I never showed anyone, or finished). I wanted to include as many different things as I possibly could when i started writing this stuff which is probably why it is such a mess (especially the names. I wanted to use names from different places in the world, but it got confusing.) I don't want to offend anyone or make any statements on anything in my writing. It is mostly just for self-amusement. That being said, if you like it then good for you. And if you don't, then why are you still here? Shoo! Go! Get out of here! Anyways, enjoy! Oh look! My note is longer than the synopsis! Lets make it longer! Oh look, a butterfly! Whee! Byeeeee!

She saw a child full of bruises and facing the ground with lips and a complexion that had already darkened. "What just happened to this child?" Then she remembered Avicia and without hesitation, she came down on the chest of the lifeless child and spoke. ''Rivivere.'' The lady turned back into a white small ball of fire and slowly entered the child's chest. A few moments passed and the child who had been lifeless suddenly opened her eyes. Along with the heavy rain is its resurgence and butterflies of different colors fluttered behind the girl that made a huge garden filled with them.

Book 1of the Rainbow Sisters Series Reese Laurier is the eldest of the seven Laurier sisters—and not just in name. At only eighteen, she's already the official CEO of their father's company, juggling board meetings, business proposals, and her sisters’ daily chaos with military precision and an eye-roll always at the ready. She thrives on control, order, and excellence. Feelings? Flirting? Boys? Absolutely not on the agenda. So when the first day of school ends with her accidentally kissing Raiden Whitlock—the arrogant, insufferable younger brother of her ex—it’s not just an embarrassing mishap. It’s a full-blown PR disaster. At least in her mind. What follows is a comedic spiral of sharp-tongued arguments, tension-filled encounters, and unwanted attention from a boy who seems to enjoy pressing all her buttons—and maybe something else too. Raiden’s persistent teasing starts to chip at Reese’s icy resolve, and worst of all… her heart might be starting to glitch. She’s built for boardrooms, not butterflies. And yet… Cherry-red lipstick, stolen glances, and locker-side threats later—Reese might be losing control of more than just her schedule.

Verdamona—a young woman from a broken Earth—finds herself face-to-face with a god. The world she once knew has been reduced to cosmic ashes, destroyed by a chain of six cataclysmic disasters that humanity itself may have set in motion. Bitter, grieving, and demanding answers, Verdamona learns a devastating truth: Earth was not abandoned, but judged. And the gods, bound by ancient laws, let it fall. The god she speaks to has decided to offer humanity one final chance at redemption. Not because they deserve it but because 'she' does. For her spirit, her defiance, and her unwavering will, he offers an impossible task: be reborn at the moment of her birth, with her memories intact, and attempt to alter the fate of the world from within. As her soul begins its descent back into time, Verdamona carries the weight of humanity’s second chance on her shoulders, and the knowledge that if she fails, no god will intervene again.

Moments before death, Arthur is thrust back into his five-year-old body — into the small home where dreams were drawn in crayon and promises were made between spoonfuls of soup.

Given a second chance — or perhaps cursed with it — Arthur must navigate childhood again, this time carrying the full grief and knowledge of his lost adult life. But can broken promises be mended with smaller hands? Can a heart weighed down by failure ever feel light again? And if fate gave him this gift... what does it want in return? A haunting, poetic journey through time, memory, and redemption — Ashes of a Promise explores what it truly means to go back, when you already know how the story ends.
