Forged Bond

Caelan Levine lived a life of luxury—wealthy, brilliant, and burdened by high expectations. But everything changed the day a mysterious light dragged him into a savage world of blades and beasts. Stranded in a land with no magic, no way home, and no one to rely on, Caelan is forced to start from nothing. He learns to hunt, to fight, and to survive—but more importantly, he learns to live. As he builds a new life, he slowly lets go of the hope of returning… and begins forging a future of his own.

Will he remain the boy who fell from another world… or become the leader who reshapes it?

I was slowly hearing his voice, seeing his exact location – the human realm!! But why? Why would he choose to go there instead of being with the demons like he said? We had thought he was a demon wolf since we were little and ever since then he has always hated himself. We were even lucky that he hadn't killed himself or rather hadn't been killed because it would create a greater problem for Cridwan and the whole universe with every single creature, the moon, the earth, the other planets and its people in addition. As the uneasiness inside of me grew, I began to see lots of imagery of Liam and I couldn't help but feel that I was close to him, that I would finally find him. And I could feel it, my soul was gradually leaving me – again! I closed my eyes and when I opened them back I was in front of a large mansion’s backyard, with the sky dark and the moon looking a lot smaller. I saw a woman dressed in a flare gown, and about to take her own life. She jumped down and fell into the large pool. Before I knew it, there was a thud…. Want to find out more?

"No one in this world can kill us — except each other." Raised together under the same roof yet bound by an ancient curse, Ryu Junseo (류준서), Korea’s youngest chaebol CEO, and Han Areum (한아름), Asia’s top prodigy cardiologist, share a secret no one else knows: they are immortal to the world — but only each other holds the power to end the other's life. On the surface, they pretend to be polite childhood friends to please their loving grandparents, who dream of their marriage. But behind closed doors, they are sworn enemies, scarred by old wounds, unspoken misunderstandings, and the terrifying knowledge that a single moment of weakness could destroy them both. Yet destiny binds them tighter than hate ever could. Both carry divine powers: Junseo can command Areum’s very will with a single word, while Areum alone can shatter Junseo’s immortality. Their hearts beat in secret rhythm — enemies by choice, protectors by fate. When a covert spy mission pulls them into a dangerous conspiracy linked to the curse's ancient origin, buried truths rise to the surface. The only way to break the curse? They must marry willingly and bear a child born of real love — the child who would free them both. But can two hearts poisoned by pride and fear learn to love before it’s too late? And when the moment comes, will they save each other — or destroy everything? --- A story of hatred that hides longing, power that demands sacrifice, and love so fierce it can rewrite destiny.

But as tension turns to heat, and duty turns to desire, Seraphina must decide: Is she falling for the man...or the monster?

Wei Lian was born in the Chaos Realm—where only the strongest survive. But he was born without talent. Without power. Without worth. Cast aside by his clan, hidden by his mother, and sent to the Mortal Realm, he was meant to live a quiet, forgotten life. But Wei Lian has other plans. He will rise. Not with luck. Not with gifts. He will forge his path in blood. From mortal to legend. From trash… to terror.

Revised Synopsis for Ren: Simulating Immortality Ren’s path to power is paved within the treacherous circuits of an ever-evolving simulation system, a stark contrast to the arduous training of traditional cultivators. This is no static playground; each simulation presents dynamic challenges, forcing Ren to adapt and survive within limited timeframes. He must learn, evolve, and seize power in the nick of time, or face the simulated consequences. Within these digital lives, Ren confronts formidable opponents and brushes against the terrifying might of powerful figures, experiencing firsthand the brutal realities of a world teeming with danger. Sometimes, the system’s analysis falters – "Error: Opponent data incomplete. Proceed with caution." flashes across his simulated vision, a stark reminder of the unknown threats lurking in both the virtual and real worlds. Every foray into the simulation is a calculated risk, a desperate gamble to acquire the strength needed to survive in his harsh reality. For Ren is a rogue cultivator in a world teetering on the brink of chaos, where righteous and demonic sects clash with impunity. His hard-earned simulated power is his only hope against the overwhelming forces at play in this perilous landscape. **Questions to Ponder:** * How will Ren balance the knowledge and power gained in the simulations with the unpredictable dangers of the real cultivation world? * Can he truly trust the simulated experiences when facing genuine threats and powerful adversaries? * Will the errors and limitations of the simulation system prove to be his undoing? * As Ren navigates the conflicts between the righteous and demonic sects, whose side will he ultimately choose, and will his simulated morality hold true in the face of real-world consequences?

This is a story about a young man who was left to die on the roadside. but this was not the end of his existence, but a beginning of what is yet to come. he will be reborn in a world where gods walk among mortals. where monsters are not the only threat. will he be able to live a life and find a purpose that is worth living or dying for? Note: This isn't a story where the MC chases every woman, nor does every girl he talks to fall for him. Relationships will have depth and meaning(at least I will try to give depth)—he’ll have to earn their love. He will be stronger than an adventurer at his level, but He won’t start as someone who is too OP, but his growth will outpace even Bell’s. If you're here for real development—both in strength and emotion—then welcome aboard. As of now, I plan to include only Ryuu, Riveria, Ais, and Asfi and focus on them. In the future, I might add Alise, Shakti, Filvis, and maybe even Alfia. And some other characters every chapter will be between 1000 words to 3000 words. another note: This is a fan work.

Lilac has lived a life of suffering. From being forced to disguise himself as a girl to survive, to being labeled cursed after failing to awaken his heavenly gifts that everyone else could, he is shunned by all. To add salt to his wound, before he turns 18, his father vanishes, and his uncle seizes the throne that should've rightfully been Lilac's as the eldest son. Before Lilac could successfully flee, he is caught and traded to the monsters beyond the kingdom—beasts so feared that no one who sees them returns. But instead of death, Lilac is claimed by Sloan. Born cursed, Sloan is a prince of the Enwulves, an extinct hybrid wolf species. Even though he is a prince, he has lived life as an outcast due to his curse that causes him to forcibly transform every full moon, thus losing his humanity. His life has been mapped out for him, but when he finds Lilac—battered, freezing, and terrified—something shifts. For the first time, his rage stills. It was just a glimpse, a scent, a tiny whimper of fright. And that was it. Humans are meant to be slaves. Enwulves are forbidden from claiming them. Keeping Lilac means war. But Sloan has never followed rules, and Lilac has never belonged—until now. ~~~ | ~~~ “Are you afraid of me, little human?” Sloan husked out, cold lips grazing my bleeding fingers before his lips parted slightly to release hot breath over them. I trembled, rooted in the spot with fright and unable to breathe. Was this a trick question? Of course I’m afraid of him! Everyone is! Who wouldn’t be? Slaves are never supposed to be in his presence, except they suddenly desire a quick demise. Am I supposed to respond honestly or lie? When cold lips closed around my finger, I gasped in shock, a rush of fright and dread engulfing me. He was gonna bite off my finger right now, wasn’t he? Just because my stupid brain couldn’t come up with a response? The rumors said he was a heartless psychopath, but I didn’t think it was actually true! However, a hot tongue swiped over my fingertips and I sucked in a sharp breath, exhaling shakily while my chest expanded and my brain tried to figure out what was happening, and why my fingers weren't bitten off yet— or why I’m still breathing in his presence. Next, cold, long fingers wrapped around my wrist and my hand was being tugged upward, then a nose was digging into my pulse point, and I almost fainted when cold lips dragged over the sensitive skin there. The sound of a deep inhale filled up my ear next. “Fuck. You smell so good.” Oh heavens. This was worse than I thought. Instead of killing me, was he planning to… eat me… literally???! What the fuck? *** R18+! Cover not mine!

A deep voice yelled behind her, "Get the rogue!" "Don't let her escape!" When Astra jumped over a downed tree, her bare feet hit the cold ground. There were leaves and sticks in her long, dark hair as it whipped around her face. She couldn't stop. When thieves were caught by pack wolves, they usually died. She kept going even though it hurt her side to run so fast. She had learned one thing from being chased for ten years: never stop when they're close. "I see her!" Another arrow flew by, this time brushing her arm. Astra bit her lip to keep from crying out. Blood trickled down her arm, but she couldn't worry about that now. The smell would make it easy for them to track her, though. Up ahead was a river. If she could just reach it, she might be able to hide her smell. Astra pushed her tired legs harder, ignoring the pain shooting through her body. Astra, the daughter of the Alpha, went rogue ten years ago after the mysterious death of her sister, Lyra.

Amidst the eerie silence of an unfamiliar hall, a cacophony of confused voices rose, mingling in a chorus of bewilderment. "Where are we?" "What happened?" "I thought I died!" Each utterance hung in the air, a testament to the collective disbelief gripping the room. As the haze of confusion lifted, disjointed memories surfaced, fragments of lives cut short by tragedy. "I remember... I was stabbed..." ventured one voice, echoed by another's affirmation of a similar fate. "I... I died in a plane crash," muttered a third, only to be met with a stunned agreement from a fellow survivor. Amidst the chaos of bewildered voices, one man stood apart, his expression a mask of contemplation amidst the turmoil. As his companions recounted their brushes with death, his mind churned with questions, each more confounding than the last. "I got shot... I remember it vividly," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible above the din. "So how am I still here?" The enigma of their shared resurrection gnawed at him, compelling him to seek answers in the depths of his memories. With each revelation of a paired demise—a male and female, bound by the same tragic fate—a flicker of recognition ignited within him. "This... this seems familiar," he mused, the pieces of a puzzle slowly coalescing in his mind. But the picture remained incomplete, obscured by the fog of uncertainty that shrouded their surroundings. As the words "pairs, pairs, pairs" echoed in his mind like a cryptic mantra, a sudden realization struck him with the force of a revelation. "It can't be... don't tell me..." he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. With a sense of urgency, he began to scan his surroundings, searching for any sign or clue that could confirm his suspicions. Then, as if guided by an unseen force, his gaze shifted upwards, and there, bathed in an ethereal light, stood an angelic figure with golden apparel, its gaze fixed upon him with a warm smile. The sight took his breath away, filling him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The man's heart raced as faced a real angel, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal encounter unfolding before him. The angel's words, spoken with an air of amusement, only deepened the enigma shrouding their meeting. "I never expected anyone to notice me," the angel remarked, a hint of playfulness in its voice. "I was concealing my presence to let everyone fully calm down, but to think someone noticed me. Just who are you?" Ethan's disbelief and confusion intensified at the angel's question. "Eh... Ethan Rivers," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Aurelia, the angel, finally revealed himself to the bewildered assembly, a hush fell over the room, each soul drawn in by his radiant presence and commanding aura. Ethan's gaze lingered on Aurelia. "Greetings, lost souls," Aurelia declared, his voice resonating with a majestic power that seemed to fill the very air around them. "I am Aurelia, and I shall be your guide to your new life." As Aurelia extended his arms in a gesture of welcome, Ethan felt a surge of rage and hesitation, "This it bad, really bad."
