Faraday Cloth

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death. Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large- A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact. "I told you not to run..." He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. "My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want.." Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms. "What do you want?" Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head. "You..." Her breath hitched. "To. Do. As. You're. Told." - Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem. But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors. And neither do the natives. What should have been a romantic retreat, drinking from coconuts and lounging on white-sandy beaches together, turns into a holiday from hell. Mid-argument with her soon-to-be ex, Nova stumbles into a lake. When she resurfaces, her boyfriend, the path she came from, and the resort have vanished. Alone, stranded, and with little survival skills, Nova has only a wet phone with no signal, a pair of heels, and an irrational fear of bats—which are everywhere. She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts. Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa. Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it? #Beast #Ssssteamy #Adventure #Mythical #R18 -- THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!! -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and review! -- Cover Image: In the middle of getting one commissioned.

[Simulation shall commence.] On this fateful day, the world was stunned by the appearance of ancient animals that were supposed to have gone extinct for millions of years. Huge sinkholes appeared in every corner of the world, becoming a tunnel for the ancient animals to emerge to the surface. Humans have found an answer to one of the biggest mysteries in human history. Hollow Earth is real. Here, humans will wrest their lives to explore this new world that has existed for thousands, if not millions, of years underneath them. Before the start of his exploration, Clovis came across a place called ‘Another World Mall.’ Dwarven Sword, Magical Elven Clothes, or Giant Race Toy? Everything can be found in this ‘Another World Mall.’ As an aspiring Subterranean Explorer, how would he utilize this ‘Another World Mall’ to become the greatest explorer of all time and find the truth about the simulation?

Balance the debts... or become one. Gideon Harrow didn’t ask to inherit a haunted book, a cursed job, or an extremely hot ghost girl with cheekbones sharp enough to kill him. But life’s unfair, magic’s real, and the dead keep ignoring boundaries. Now he’s stuck balancing other people’s afterlife debts, flinging chalk at angry spirits, and trying very hard not to fall for the mysterious girl currently stealing his clothes and sanity. He’s not ready to be the next Keeper of Accounts. Too bad the Ledger disagrees.

When Clara wakes up in a new world, she’s no longer a top-tier survivalist from a post-apocalyptic future—she's now the newly married stepmother of four malnourished children in a poverty-stricken rural village. Her husband? A handsome but useless deadbeat who’s more interested in gambling and gossip than putting food on the table. With a thatched roof threatening to collapse, threadbare clothes barely holding together, and not a single coin to her name, Clara rolls up her sleeves. She's not here to be a tragic character. She's here to survive—and thrive. But raising four skeptical children, reviving a collapsing household, and navigating a village full of nosy neighbors won't be easy. Especially when her new stepchildren don’t trust her, and the whole village is waiting to see how fast the “new wife” will run away. Armed with grit, wit, and a lifetime of survival instincts, Clara is about to prove that even in the toughest soil, something beautiful can grow.

A new book is out: [Awesome Uncle: Sweet Wife, Be Pampered]. Luo Qingli thought her sudden-marriage husband was just a lawyer, only to find out he had multiple identities later on-scion of a wealthy family, mysterious CEO... In Luo Qingli's eyes, Gu Yuying is nothing but a refined rascal, inappropriately restrained and shrouded in a shadow of mystery—a wolf in sheep's clothing. Moreover, he is a lustful... wolf. "Uncle, let's get a divorce! You always leave me guessing. I don't feel secure." Luo Qingli turns around only to see Gu Yuying is unbuttoning his shirt. She exclaims, "Why are you taking off your clothes? And so... thoroughly..." Gu Yuying gives an evil smile, "Didn't you say you can't see through me, can't touch me? No worries, take a good look, touch freely... until you finally understand." Gu Yuying says: There's a poison in this world named Luo Qingli. Once you fall in love, you're addicted; once you start spoiling, it's impossible to stop. Luo Qingli says: Never, ever negotiate a divorce with a lawyer, or you’ll lose everything, not even leaving a trace behind.

[Complete] Who could be more unlucky than her? She inexplicably fell down a mountain, lost her memory, was forcibly taken back to a villa by an overbearing and sly CEO for investigation, and on top of that, she had to deal with him constantly tearing at her clothes, wanting to find hidden cameras. The sly CEO said, "Want to leave? Complete your last task first!" "I want Italian ice cream!" a pregnant woman pouted with red lips, patting her swollen belly. "It's the middle of the night, darling, no ice cream, have a banana instead." His gaze was burning. "It's not me who wants it, it's your son who does!" the pregnant woman cooed. Thus, a private jet flew directly to Europe overnight, and when she woke up in the morning, she and her baby were already in Italy.

The new book is out! Meng Yunhan has been reincarnated back to the time of 'food coupon era', a time when people struggled with food and clothe shortages. But she is not afraid this time around. Equipped with a 'cheat code', she is ready not only to start her own business but also to grab a hold of her stoned-face brother and even support Baozi, her child. Stoned-face brother: "Wife, let's pack up Baozi and leave!" He claims that having a son who is even clingier to his wife than himself is utterly shameless! "Mommy, let's get a new daddy!" Baozi suggests. His daddy, a grown man, is still so clingy to mommy. How disgraceful! Meng Yunhan sighs: They are indeed father and son.

Shen Meng is a factory worker who encountered a car accident while delivering a contract to a business partner. While she was bedridden and suffering alone, she suddenly discovered a spatial power. Before she could be happy for two days, the side effects of the space emerged, causing her to have strange dreams almost every night. Realizing the situation quickly, Shen Meng hurriedly sold her house and car and started hoarding supplies frantically in case she ended up in a place lacking food and clothing, fearing she might starve to death. While she was once again on her way to stock up, another car accident occurred. When she opened her eyes again, she had transmigrated into a period novel as a vicious supporting role doomed to a tragic end for opposing the female protagonist Jinli. Not only was her own reputation destroyed, ending in an accidental tragic death, but her four children also became extreme due to lack of guidance and frequent childhood abuse, resulting in psychological issues leading to tragic fates. Moreover, the man, who had been a soldier contributing to the country, was ambushed and hit on the back of the head, becoming mentally impaired forever, and he drowned in the river during winter while holding the clothes they married in. To change her destiny, Shen Meng had to redeem her reputation and guide the children towards good as they were descendants of a hero, and she couldn't stand watching them fall. Occupying the original body's identity, Shen Meng decided to be filial to the elderly, take care of the children, and lead the whole family towards a prosperous path. Just that the man, who always protected the country and had a lukewarm relationship with her, seemed to look at her increasingly passionately.

Six months of continuous heavy rainfall has caused global floods. The Arctic glaciers melted, sea levels rose, and seawater flowed backward into rivers. Ancient viruses sealed in ice have been revived, leading to biological mutations and racial evolution. Everyone is trapped at home, unable to go outside. Liang Yuan unexpectedly awakens a Lottery System, which not only allows him to win various daily necessities but also different attributes. When everyone is struggling with a lack of food and clothing, Liang Yuan is enjoying steak, drinking red wine, and having a meat-filled diet every meal. A sexy and alluring neighbor, wearing a spaghetti strap bodycon dress, knocks on his door late at night: "Little brother, can you lend some food to your sister?"

“Next, we have the most noble recipient of the Order of the Garter, the Grand Cross of Saint Michael and Saint George, the Grand Cross of the Bath, the Victoria Cross and the lower grades of Knighthood, the leader of the anti-colonial movement, the bell-ringer of the East India Company, the hero of the Crimean War, a Fellow of the Royal Society, a lifelong dear friend of literary giants such as Dickens and Great Dumas, a steadfast supporter of scientific luminaries like Faraday and Darwin, having served as assistant under-secretary, deputy under-secretary, and permanent under-secretary in departments of the Home Office and the Navy Department of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the inaugural Cabinet Secretary and head of the civil service, the first graduate and most distinguished alumnus of our school. Please welcome Sir Arthur Hastings to deliver a speech on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the University of London.” Arthur's gaze swept across the crowd before him, looking at the young faces and murmured, “Agares, what do you think I should say?” The Red Devil's wraith hovered behind him, saliva almost dribbling from the corner of his mouth, “Look at these ignorant souls; they still worship you as a hero. Why not say something they'd like to hear?” Arthur took a deep breath and let out a deafening roar, “Oxford is a bunch of whores' bastards!” “Oh!!!!” The audience erupted into thunderous applause. “Cambridge is the same!” he added immediately. The applause grew even more fervent... (The protagonist, possessed by a devil, travels through 19th-century Britain in a world without magic)

In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.

18 years ago, she was a little rogue that had been pampered by him; 18 years later, he had reformed her into a little lamb. Boss Shen’s greatest pride was that he had successfully tamed a wild kitten into an obedient house cat.

In a palace veiled by silk and secrets, loyalty is a mask—and love can be deadly. Born into a noble family, Lianfu’s life shattered the night her household was massacred for uncovering a royal conspiracy. Mistaken for a servant girl, she survived—scarred, silenced, and blindfolded by fate. But death did not claim her… vengeance chose her. Now known only as A’fu, she returns years later as a cold and deadly shadow, hiding her identity beneath flowing black robes and a silk cloth covering her eyes. Her blade is silent. Her resolve, unshakable. By her side is Prince Xiao Liwei—once a disregarded son of the Emperor, now a poised warrior cloaked in white. Elegant and sharp as a drawn fan, he walks a path riddled with betrayal and hidden enemies. But behind his gentle gaze lies a fierce protector… and a heart drawn to the mystery that is A’fu. Together, they will unravel the truth. Together, they will fight to survive. But in a court of lies and masked killers, how much will love cost?

You only wanted to see it... So, you did the unthinkable—used a mysterious stone to change yourself into a FREAKING HOT PRETTY BOY. Now stuck in a boy’s body, you sneak into an exclusive VIP mafia-son-only event. But when a priceless watch goes missing, you’re the prime suspect. Dragged into a dark room, a gun to your head, you come face-to-face with a dangerous, tattooed mafia heir—cocky, cruel, and annoyingly hot. He looks into your panicked eyes… and smirks. > “Your eyes are too pretty to kill.” His voice is low and dangerous—like he’s already peeling your clothes off with his gaze. *** He’s arrogant, but your eyes make him horny—though he’d never admit it. Will he ever find out you actually belong to the enemy clan? A very forbidden enemy clan. Even as he’s fallen way too deep?

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No Yuri - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

In a single moment, he had lost everything he possessed. His father had disowned him; he had lost his title as prince, and the nobles he had considered his friends had turned their backs on him. Finally, he had been exiled. And it was all because of the "Otherworldly Shopping System." Still, no one, including Luke, could understand the value of this ability. As hope faded from his heart, it reappeared in the farthest northern region of the Empire, in a freezing cold area. 10,000 litres of water to irrigate the land? Well, you can get it for just three gold pieces. Perhaps he should establish a new farm? 100 high-quality cows for just 200 gold. Perhaps he wishes to establish a clothing workshop? Building a ready-made structure would only cost 500 gold. This is his opportunity, the opportunity of Luke, the Light of the Empire. An abandonment worth a world.

"Where were you last night?” “Take off your clothes, and I’ll answer.” “Don’t play games with me. Where did you go?” “We’re not married yet. What’s with the interrogation?” *** Never trust a woman who almost wore your sister’s ring—especially when that woman is Giovanna Costa.

One useless martial artist. One broken system. Endless girls. Li Wei was rock bottom—weak, broke, and humiliated. Then the 999-Level Martial Arts System crashed into his life like a glitch from the heavens. Now? He’s being hunted by jealous rivals, stalked by seductive martial goddesses, and forced to complete wild quests that always end with clothes flying (his or theirs). Each fight makes him stronger.

But can he survive long enough to become the strongest… …without getting crushed by power, women, or pleasure?

Aisha's life is a stark portrait of resilience forged in the crucible of relentless adversity. A single mother of five sons, each a living testament to a man who abandoned her, she endures the ceaseless, corrosive scorn of her close-knit community. Branded a "loose woman," her reputation precedes her, isolating her in a suffocating atmosphere of judgment. Her days are punctuated not only by the whispered disapproval of her neighbors, but also by the daily struggle to provide for her children, often with meager resources. Her reflection in a cracked mirror, a constant reminder of her shattered past and the seemingly insurmountable challenges of her present, becomes a symbol of her fragmented identity. Yet, beneath the crushing weight of despair, Aisha's fierce, unwavering love for her sons acts as a defiant shield. This love fuels her quiet rebellion against the societal forces that seek to break her spirit, driving her to find strength where none seems to exist. The story delves into the profound impact of societal judgment, particularly on women, exploring the ways in which it can isolate and dehumanize. It also illuminates the indomitable strength of female resilience, highlighting the power of maternal love to transcend even the most harrowing circumstances, and ultimately, to pave a path toward a fragile, hard-won hope. Beyond the societal scorn, her life is a constant battle against poverty. Each sunrise brings the daunting task of stretching meager resources to feed and clothe her five sons. Market days become a gauntlet of haggling and bartering, where every coin is a hard-won victory. Her hands, calloused and worn, tell the story of countless hours spent washing clothes, mending garments, and tending to the small, stubborn patch of land that provides a meager supplement to their diet. The boys, ranging in age from toddler to teenager, are both her burden and her salvation. They are a constant source of worry, yet their laughter and innocent affection provide the only respite from the crushing weight of her circumstances. This daily struggle, this relentless fight for survival, becomes another layer of her resilience, a testament to her unwavering determination to protect her children.

As a result of his Beastfolk heritage, Tyrus had taken refuge in the middle of a forest, far from others. Should he desire to explore a densely populated settlement, he would have to conceal his ears lest he attract the disdainful gazes of others. After being discovered and almost captured by a few men, an individual known as Wanderer intervened and saved him. Thanks to the aid and counsel provided by Wanderer, Tyrus was able to unleash the power of mana that had been dormant within and gained the status of a sorcerer. With the newfound power, he had pledged to improve his strength to guarantee a secure and lavish future for himself. Sleeping on hardwood or wearing the same tattered clothes was out of the question for him. It was up to him to carve his own fate.

"Love Tripped Into My Room: I Just Wanted Peace, Not Panties" Kaito Tenma just wanted a normal life. Wake up, eat toast, avoid drama, and maybe—just maybe—confess to his beautiful, blunt childhood friend, Riko. But fate sucker-punches that dream into space when a half-naked girl crashes through his ceiling and declares his room as her new home. Now he’s living with Yuna, a mysterious (and dangerously clingy) bombshell who thinks clothing is optional and personal space is a myth. From lewd accidents to jealousy-fueled misunderstandings, Kaito’s life spirals into a wild, hilarious mess of high school chaos, horny misunderstandings, and girls who seem way too interested in ruining his peace. He didn’t ask for a harem. He didn’t ask for trouble. But trouble keeps tripping into his life—one girl at a time.

“I’m sure we’ve all had that weird kid in our class.” “You know, the one everyone avoids like the plague.” “The moron who always comes to school with messy black hair, torn-up clothes, and so many bruises on their body it looks like they were mauled by a bear.” “I know that kid well—” “Because I’m him.” [DING!] [YOU HAVE AWAKENED YOUR BLACKSMITH SYSTEM] “Blacksmith system? What the fuck is that?” It’s the power to forge. The power to create weapons that can split the heavens themselves. Weapons that can challenge gods, rewrite fate, and reduce galaxies to dust. Weapons that can cut through time and space. With the Blacksmith System… you have the power of creation. Do you accept? [Y/N]

I caught the eyes of the monster. A monster covered behind- a race suit and a helmet. Dashing. Hot tempered. Charming. Yet warnings of red flag plastered like an advertisement on my boss or specifically my driver- as his sheep's clothes barely hid those narcissistic, arrogant, and sadist traits. Was I scared? Opposite. I was attracted to this villain. A trepidation. This isn't anymore lovely or professional but feels like- Hades is ready to claim his Persephone. One thing that doesn't match with the equation is I am no Persephone. I won't run or hide. This whatever is going on between us, is about to ruin our lives-'miserably'. Specifically I gave myself to a soul carving demon. My Demon.

Like the world was whispering my name." They called him Ash—a nameless orphan found in a bed of unburnt soot, wrapped in cloth that never caught flame. For sixteen years, he lived quietly in the frost-bitten village of Drelda’s Keep, shunned by the people and haunted by dreams of distant towers and a sword that sings beneath the earth. But when a burning comet shatters the ancient mountain and a forgotten sigil awakens beneath his touch, everything changes. The sky splits. The gods stir. And Ash is marked by an ancient power the world buried long ago. Hunted by kings, feared by priests, and followed by a secret voice that calls him “child of the star,” Ash is forced to leave behind the only home he’s ever known and journey into a world that wants him dead—or worse, worshipped. But there’s something inside him that even he doesn’t understand… Something old. Something bound in flame and ash. And it’s just starting to wake up. --- He doesn’t know who he is. But the world remembers. Let the embers burn. The legend begins.
