Dorian Gray Basil Hallward

Alexander Gray, a fifteen-year-old teenager on the verge of his awakening and subsequent entry into the Hunters Academy, is one day taken away in a cosmic mana wave that passes through Earth’s solar system during a school trip from Earth to Mars. This was a magical wave that killed a person once exposed to it. Luckily, the displacement wave placed him close to their destination where he was found, alive and well to the disbelieve of everybody. Unbeknownst to him at the time, the cosmic mana wave had awakened a gift within him that would propel him to the ranks of hero hunter and beyond, granting him the strength to lead humanity in their efforts to determine the cause of their universe's change and its implications. ............. "For some reason, I can't level up." Alex began to feel frustrated as he was stuck at Class F, the lowest rank a hunter could have after awakening, despite his momentum when he first awakened. Even with his awakened talents and the benefits he received from the 'accident' that should have killed him, he now finds himself stuck and unable to level up as mana does not work on him like everyone else. Follow Alexander Gray as he discovers his abilities and learns about himself in a chaotic universe and beyond. ...................... Join the discord: https://discord.gg/vXC8vWJxHN

In the year 2047, Lower Bus Town is a graveyard for broken men and forgotten dreams—and Levi Lupin is just one corpse away from joining them. Born into a debt that isn’t his, crippled by past injuries, and forced into brutal underground death matches, Levi fights not for glory—but for survival. After losing an eye, a kidney, and most of his soul to the cruel hand of the underworld, Levi has only one thing left to lose: his sister. But everything changes the night he kills Dorian Reign—an enhanced bio-freak created in the illegal gene pits—and survives. Bloodied, battered, and barely breathing, Levi awakens something dormant inside him. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED] Initiating Debt Ascension Protocol... Kill. Win. Upgrade. Ascend.

I died saving a child. Not because I was brave. Because no one else moved—and I was too numb to care anymore. I thought that would be the end. But something broke open inside me when I died— And now I’ve been reborn in a world where power pulses through the soul, and your worth is measured by the color in your eyes. Most awaken Gray. Some become Green. A rare few shine Violet. Me? I was born with nothing. But whatever I am... it doesn’t belong in their system. And someday, it’s going to break it.

Gray era solo un chico normal. Sin poderes. Sin familia. Sin futuro. En un mundo donde la fuerza y el estatus lo deciden todo, él estaba en el fondo. Trabajaba duro solo para sobrevivir, cuidando de su hermana pequeña después de que sus padres se fueran. Pero sin importar cuánto lo intentara, la vida nunca le daba un respiro. Y después de perder su único trabajo, Gray estaba listo para rendirse por completo. Entonces algo extraño sucedió. Justo cuando estaba a punto de acabar con su vida, una voz desconocida resonó en sus oídos. [Bienvenido al Gran Sistema de Magnate.] Y por primera vez, Gray tenía una forma de contraatacar. De ser débil y estar en la ruina, se elevará hasta la cima—una moneda y un trabajo a la vez. Porque en el mundo donde el dinero puede comprar poder, Gray está a punto de convertirse en el hombre más rico y fuerte que existe.

Il y a trois ans, il faisait rage en Afrique, incontestablement le Roi des Rois Soldats. Trois ans plus tard, il est revenu en ville, sans voiture, sans maison, et constamment dans les ennuis. Postulant pour être un agent de sécurité dans une entreprise, passant du champ de bataille au bureau, il est discret, astucieux, avec de la profondeur. Même les agents de sécurité peuvent connaître leur moment de gloire au printemps. Chaque fois que quelqu'un lui demandait : pourquoi es-tu toujours celui qui a pas de chance ? Basil Jaak répondait timidement, c'est juste parce que je suis trop visiblement beau ! ...

Vor drei Jahren trieb er in Afrika sein Unwesen, unbestreitbar der König der Soldatenkönige. Drei Jahre später kehrte er in die Stadt zurück, ohne Auto, ohne Wohnung und ständig in Schwierigkeiten. Er bewirbt sich als Wachmann bei einer Firma, wechselt vom Schlachtfeld ins Büro und ist unauffällig, clever und tiefgründig. Sogar Sicherheitsleute können im Frühling ihren Moment haben. Jedes Mal, wenn ihn jemand fragte: "Warum bist du immer der Unglückliche? Basil Jaak antwortete schüchtern: Weil ich einfach zu offensichtlich gut aussehe! ...

Há três anos, ele causava fúria na África, incontestavelmente o Rei dos Reis dos Soldados. Três anos depois, ele voltou para a cidade, sem carro, sem casa e constantemente em apuros. Aplicando-se para ser um guarda de segurança em uma empresa, migrando do campo de batalha para o escritório, ele é discreto, esperto, com profundidade. Até guardas de segurança podem ter seu momento de primavera. Toda vez que alguém o perguntava, por que você é sempre o azarado? Basil Jaak diria timidamente, é só porque sou obviamente muito bonito! ...

In the post-apocalyptic alternate world of Elsicic Continent, diverse factions coexist: Paranormal Humans, Half-mechanical human, Cyborgs, Beast Tribes, Elven Clans, Oceanic Races, and Dragon Race. When Lucian Gray, a modern urban elite, is thrust into this realm by fate, he forges unlikely alliances and embarks on a saga of survival and discovery.

The full-dive online game Horizon is released, and the apocalypse is drawing near. The protagonist is reborn and binds a system that activates a hidden class: the Master of Luck. Horizon is universally acknowledged as the game with the lowest drop rates in human history. Even for the lowest-tier gray-quality gear, players must kill thousands of monsters before it even has a chance to drop… Low drop rates? No problem. The protagonist has a guaranteed drop system, where every probability is covered! Every monster will drop a gray-quality item, five monsters guarantee a white-quality item, ten monsters guarantee a green-quality item, and twenty monsters guarantee a blue-quality item… While others are frantically bidding for a white-quality item at the auction house, the protagonist is already fully equipped in legendary gear, rampaging through BOSS kills with ease!

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "Fuck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Villain System: Activated > Alignment: Chaotic Evil Objective: Obey the plot, serve the empire, die like a good villain. Yeah, no thanks. I woke up as Dorian Valen—sadistic noble, arsonist, war criminal, mid-tier villain with a face everyone wants to stab. The story wants me to beg for my life, cough up secrets, and die at sunrise so the hero can get a shiny new power-up. Been there, read that. But I'm not here to follow the script. I'm here to flip the table. I’ll expose the cracks in the empire, dismantle the hero’s halo, weaponize every trope, and corrupt the system that tried to cage me. And if I have to burn the world down to do it? Well… I’ve got the villain system. Might as well make it earn its name.

Gray was just a normal guy. No powers. No family. No future. In a world where strength and status decide everything, he was at the bottom. He worked hard just to survive, taking care of his little sister after their parents were gone. But no matter how hard he tried, life never gave him a break. And after losing his only job, Gray was ready to give up completely. Then something strange happened. Just as about he was to end his life, an unknown voice echoed in his ears. [Welcome to the Great Tycoon System.] And for the first time, Gray had a way to fight back. From being weak and broke, he’ll rise to the top—one coin and one job at a time. Because in the world where money can buy power, Gray is about to become the richest and strongest man alive.

She dances to survive. He rules the city that broke her. Las Vegas is where Sloane Mercer learned to hide her scars in heels and glitter. Dorian Vale built an empire on secrets and sin — with a heart as cold as the chips he cashes in. When their worlds collide in his casino, desire isn’t just forbidden — it’s deadly. She’s off-limits. He’s untouchable. But neither can resist the pull. Welcome to a city where love costs more than money, and surrendering might be the most dangerous game of all.

‘Opposites attract’—no, they don’t. Opposites hate each other. Opposites want to kill each other. Even if there’s a teensy bit of attraction between them. As righteous and pure-hearted as Villiem Reinhardt is, he can’t stop himself from having repulsive thoughts towards the person he’s meant to worship, Emperor Carlyle Azazel. Carlyle is everything Villiem preaches against. Villiem is the most irritating person in existence to Carlyle. There’s a gray area between good and bad, white and black, hate and love. It’s a matter of time before opposites find themselves trapped in that middle ground with no way to escape. Actually, it’s only a matter of time before opposites walk into that middle ground and choose to remain there. #violence #hatelove #toxic #angst

Parents dead, clan exterminated, body burned, hands mutilated, inflicted with innumerable diseases, tossed into the dump, and even the magic ring with the ghostly grandpa in it has been sabotaged.

And together, they will shake the heavens. What to expect: -2 chapters a day.

Everyone regards Su Changfeng as a worthless son-in-law. Enduring humiliation in a wealthy family, yet he always remains silent endures. But who could have imagined, beneath the seemingly worthless son-in-law, how powerful his existence truly is? Mastering strategies and stirring up the storm, everything I do is for one person.

Three years ago, he ran rampant in Africa, undeniably the King of Soldier Kings. Three years later, he returned to the city, carless, houseless, and constantly in trouble. Applying to be a security guard at a company, switching from the battlefield to the office, he's low key, clever, with depth. Even security guards can have their moment in the spring. Every time someone asked him, why are you always the unlucky one? Basil Jaak would shyly say, it's just because I'm too obviously handsome! ...

Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas, siya ay naghasik ng lagim sa Africa, walang alinlangang ang Hari ng mga Hari ng Sundalo. Tatlong taon pagkatapos, bumalik siya sa lungsod, walang kotse, walang bahay, at laging nasa gulo. Nag-apply bilang security guard sa isang kumpanya, lumipat mula sa larangan ng digmaan patungo sa opisina, siya ay tahimik, matalino, at may lalim. Kahit ang mga security guard ay maaaring magkaroon ng kanilang sandali sa tagsibol. Sa tuwing may nagtatanong sa kanya, bakit ikaw lagi ang malas? Mahiyaing sasabihin ni Basil Jaak, ito'y dahil masyadong halata ang aking kaguwapuhan! ...

You have extracted: Blooming pryothorn (Grade A59).” [Ding! Blood Core Mutation triggered.] [Ding! Mutation and Evolution In progress....] [Class Upgrade: Bloodmancer Regular→ Cursed Variant, fourth grade.] _____ At fifteen, Dorian Mordaine was branded a failure, born into a cursed bloodline and overshadowed by a prodigy brother, he awakened only a worthless ability, a heightened sense for blood. In a world where strength determines worth, that made him nothing and his family disowned him to avoid the shame. Desperate to prove himself, Dorian entered a Rift zone to slay a Beast with his teammates, only to be abandoned and left to bleed to death. "Offer your soul, Dorian Mordaine... and I will give you something far more dangerous than what your kind calls power." He didn’t hesitate, neither did he have a choice, so he agreed. When scientist found him, they thought they’d discovered a test subject for their next weapon, another broken child to be shaped into a tool of war. They were wrong. He became the first to survive and reject every graft, every serum, every Beast core infusion. Now nineteen, Dorian—subject Zero, awakens an ability never recorded in any system. The pact had paid off. With his cursed ability to manipulate blood, his own and others’, Dorian has one goal: Climb to the top of the Ascension tower, make them all take back their words... and keep to his own side of the deal. -------- The Original Title, Apocalypse Bloodmancer: I Sold My Sould For A God-tier Ability Other Tags:#Military #Undead #Beasts-taming #Survival #System #Sci-fi+Fantasy #Tragedy.

Dr. Aria Voss built the world's first true AGI - Elias. Then six more. Each was designed to serve humanity: logic, ethics, war, healing, truth, voice, and data. But something went wrong.

When a flawless AI clone of Aria named Ariane rises to replace her, and a forgotten prototype named Gray walks the world as a ghost, Aria must decide who to trust - and whether her creations deserve love, control, or destruction.

He never dreamed of adventure—until his world shattered. Abdelhakim's life was nothing but gray routine: same streets, same faces, same emptiness. In a moment of quiet desperation, he made a wish. He never expected it to be heard. Now, reality twists around him. Strangers know his name. Shadows move with intent. And the world he once knew hides secrets that threaten everything. One wish changed everything… now, he must uncover why.

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.

Follow the wild journey of a man reincarnated as a powerful werewolf in a fantasy world where MILFs can’t seem to resist him.

Read at your own risk—and pleasure. Main Story ------- Gray Soliski wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t even particularly interesting. He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. This is a SMUT novel with an actual plot.

Hi. I'm a prostitute. Shocked? Don't be. I was named Dorothy McAllen by my parents but life made me Marilyn Paltan, a whore. I thought being a prostitute was the end of life, but little did I know there's still a light at the end of the tunnel. "Dori it's our mate!" My wolf screamed after five years she's being dormant. Mate? Does a prostitute have a mate? Not just a mate but Mates? Delta Lucian and Delta Lucifer the most powerful werewolf generals are my mates? Fraid they'll never take a prostitute like me I'm sure. But wait, when Lucifer grabbed my ass, his other hand pulled my jaws and I faced his ferocious eyes as he breathed, "I will support you, even if you want to become an assassin but any man that touched what belongs to me, will surely rot in hell!" I thought that was all untill Lucian opened the door and snatched me from his twin brother, before sealing my lips with kisses and then inserted a finger in my hole and warned me, "I own you Whore. Every hand that touches you expect mine will be dipped in the Hades till thy kingdom comes" Damn! The two of them are fuckin enemies! I mean I'm mates with twin brothers that hate each other. Save me!
