When the world ended, it wasn’t with a bang — but with silence. In one brutal instant, all of humanity was wiped out, leaving behind only a single survivor from each country — each forced to play a merciless game to decide who deserves to live. Thrown into an endless nightmare of forests crawling with beasts, deadly traps, and shifting battlegrounds, these last survivors must clear one hundred lethal levels to win back their right to exist. Fail — and their entire nation vanishes with them. Among them is Aarav — an ordinary boy with no heroic past and no grand ambition, only a desperate will to survive. But as the trials grow crueler, Aarav begins to discover something buried deep within himself: a power that moves his body faster than thought — a strange instinct that awakens when he’s standing on the edge of death. Monsters and twisted creatures lurk in the dark. Other survivors will betray without hesitation. And far above, someone — or something — is watching, always watching, waiting for the last one standing. One hundred levels. One chance to live. One wrong move and it’s over. Survive the Levels — or die trying. ...

Fifty years ago, the sky split open and portals unleashed monsters and chaos upon the world. Faced with this threat, some humans received a unique gift: a player system, with classes and skills similar to a video game. Among them, ten legendary heroes, the Ten Kings, founded the Ten Great Families who carry their heritage and power, passed down from generation to generation. Every child of these great families awakens at birth with an innate class and skills. In the country of Veledris, there are only two of these great families, powerful and influential. Damons Ravencier was born into one of them. But unlike the others, he received no power at birth. Rejected, banished along with his three young sisters who also showed no awakening, he survives in the shadows, working multiple jobs to protect the only people that matter. Then, one day, an ancient demonic system — also rejected — finds him and chooses him as a candidate for a deadly competition: the Throne of Demons. Seven chosen ones, guided by demonic AIs, fight to become rulers of the demons. Damons did not choose this fight out of ambition, but out of necessity. To protect his sisters, he must become the most feared Demon King of Veledris… and perhaps the entire world.

The Venerable Xiang Yu, an eccentric villainous half-blood demon King was infamous in both the demon and human realm for being a cold-blooded ruthless devil that could kill with no remorse. Demons and humans feared him, cultivators wanted him as a trophy and the immortals saw him as a thorn in their side. The only reason he didn't get smote by the Heavenly King's searing lightning of divine wrath that could kill all mortals and immortals was because he kept the deadliest demons in check maintaining peace between the two realms. Despite his reputation, he had a small cult following in the human realm. They took him as their deity for his selfless acts of benevolence. Such rare selfless acts led him to rescue the fallen immortal Han Xin. But his benevolence became his downfall. Condemned to death, he faced an impossible choice: serve the Heavenly King or die with no marked grave. Xiang Yu: Hahaha... death isn't so bad after all. Heavenly King: You... Han Xin: Wife, you can't escape even in death. At least when you are alive you have a chance to run. Xiang Yu: QAQ...

Who is Katz Baldwin? A wandering healer? A rogue sorcerer? A quiet hero in a dying world? No one really knows. But here's the truth: he's the 36th Demon King—the so-called weakest in history. The joke of the underworld. Except... he inherited the forbidden shadow powers of the First Demon King—the legendary God Slayer. So, yeah. Weak is kind of relative. For two thousand years, demons and humans have been at war. Katz? He crossed into enemy territory not with an army, but alone—drawn by a deadly plague that’s tearing through every race: humans, elves, demi-humans. Instead of spreading destruction, he started saving lives. Now they call him a hero. But how long can a Demon King pretend to be a savior? How long before the truth slips through the cracks? He walks the line between light and shadow—and when the mask falls, the world will have to decide: Is he their salvation... or their doom?

They once called him Ahzrael, the mind behind the infernal legions. Alone, he could bring down kingdoms, scatter armies, and challenge the will of gods. At his peak, just as the demons began whispering his name as Lord, betrayal struck. Not by a hero, nor by a god, but by the very master he had served: the Demon King. Why? Because Ahzrael had not been born to rule. Yet Hell itself bent the knee before him. That was a sin the throne could not forgive. They condemned him not with honor, but with fear. Cast down, consumed by the very black flames he had taught others to wield. Erased from history. But he is not gone. He will rise again. And this time… no one will stand in his way.

This is my first time writing a synopsis so not too much hate. :) Now join me on one of the most mysterious & legendary novel journeys of the 21st Century with our 9,998th Reincarnnator Gu-Yanghe he will become the strongest being in all of existence but that is just one of his main goals he has many more than you will foresee and could think of as read my novel. Gu-Yanghe is a cultivator with little to no morality he doesn't care what he has to do to get stronger as long as he can get stronger from it he will do it! Gu-Yanghe will of course have a harem but that harem will only be there for profit & dual cultivation there is no other reason such as love or romance but maybe in the future Gu-Yanghe will change his mindset of how he sees his harem but who knows. Gu-Yanghe doesn't feel anything other than his immeasurable craving for power & strength and the small world Gu-Yanghe is currently in is called the Suntang-World it is a world that is immeasurable in size and infinite in treasures & techniques and even bloodlines and innate blessings. I think that is a good enough synopsis for now wouldn't want to give away everything right now and I promise that while my cultivation novel while seem like all the others at first I promise it won't be it will be a piece of fresh air for readers sick of cultivation novels with the same tropes & plotlines. Now, Author Out! I have to write 25 more chapters and I hope you all have a good day, readers.

BOOK 2 of the book series Allure Of The Dark BOOK 1: The Devil's Warrior Queen _________________ Emerging from the darkness with a predatory grace, he blocked her path with a smirk that sent shivers down her spine. His lips curled into a devilish grin as he watched her struggle, relishing in the thrill of the hunt. With a gentle yet firm grip, his hands curled around her small waist as he pulled her close, his touch sending a wave of electricity skittering down her spine. She gasped as she felt his icy touch, her breath catching in her throat as she realized the futility of her efforts to escape. "You cannot run from me, sweet angel." Lucian purred, his voice dripping with honeyed promises and wicked intent. "You are mine to claim, body and soul."

She could feel the heat of his breath against her skin, sending shivers of anticipation down her spine as he leaned in closer, his lips hovering just inches from her own. In that moment, Dabria was powerless to resist him, her will crumbling beneath the weight of his seductive charm.

I Woke Up as the Beast King follows a modern-day transmigrator who finds herself reborn as Felicity, the vicious tiger destined to be slain by the ruthless cultivator Silas Brooks in the climax of a xianxia novel. Trapped in the body of a magnificent beast with human instincts—squeamish about blood, picky about food, and hopelessly clumsy—Felicity upends the original plot by surviving Silas’ blade through sheer absurdity. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two navigate a world of scheming sects and vengeful spirits. Along the way, Felicity befriends Celia, a fiery fox spirit with hidden motives, while Silas struggles between his duty to exterminate demons and his growing attachment to this baffling, human-hearted tiger. As Felicity masters her shapeshifting abilities, she discovers darker truths: Celia manipulated her to awaken her spirit core, and Silas’ sect has orchestrated her role in his ascension. When a village crisis forces Felicity to unleash her full power, Silas spirals into madness, slaughtering his own sect upon mistakenly believing her dead. The story culminates in a desperate reunion at the cliff’s edge, where Felicity stops his suicidal leap—not out of obligation, but because their fractured souls, though scarred by betrayal, refuse to let go. Blending dark humor and emotional depth, the tale explores identity, found family, and the chaos of rewriting fate. Final line: "Yes," I breathed against his mouth. "I'm home."

Suite à ça, de nombreux humains se sont eux aussi éveillés. Ce fût le début de la formation de l'armée du monde humain, Terra. C'est ainsi que les préludes de la guerre du 'Ragnarök' débutèrent.

[WSA ENTRY 2025] ... "There is no god, only the echo of our fears, bound together in a symphony of false hope, woven to make this endless cycle of pain bearable... But I refuse to be just another note in their song. I will not be silenced to protect the gate you so desperately uphold. I don’t care for the blind masses; they are but shadows, moving without purpose. If I cannot run, I will walk. If I cannot walk, I will crawl. If I cannot crawl, I will roll. And if all that remains of me is a severed head, then I will still glare at you with the scorn of the relentless." ... In a world where Hunters fight to keep humanity safe from monstrous invasions, Timothy Walter is nothing more than an E-rank weakling, expendable, powerless, and barely surviving. That changes when a forgotten dungeon forces him into a deadly trial, awakening ancient rulers from across races. Bound to the weakest among them, he inherits a power unlike any other: "King Player." Now, with a system that defies all logic, Timothy must carve his path, facing enemies both human and monstrous, as he ascends from the lowest depths to claim a throne none believed he could reach. AUTHORS NOTE: I put it under a restricted audience because of the following reasons; There is a huge amount of blood and gore meaning a lot of action and adventure. An equally adequate amount of romance with a pinch of R18 just to emphasize the points. Don't take the world-building to heart; Nigeria is better than that Kinda... If you survive the first volume, then keep it up after dropping your thoughts in reviews. I upload 1500+ words per chapter, and that means I may not participate in many chapter giveaways except when milestones are reached. Again, I appreciate your advice, thoughts, and criticism even more. The synopsis will keep changing as the story progresses. And yes, It's the familiar hunter's trope spun around in my head because I love the solo leveling light novel, so... have a fun read, I hope.

“I love you, Heidi. And I will continue to love you, even when you're not my mate.” Those were Craig, my childhood sweetheart’s exact words on my 18th-birthday. I stupidly believed him, offering him my innocence. I was madly in love. I believe my saving grace was when he wanted our first time to be when I finally had my wolf. “I want to deflower you when you have your wolf and know we're mates. I heard it's a magical feeling. I'd want to experience.” he had said. “What if I'm not your mate?” I asked, but he never answered. I should have known his earlier declarations were false. He won't love me if I'm not his mate. Today is my 21st-birthday. My worst nightmare came. I'm not his mate. But here he was marking me as his chosen mate in the woods at our usual spot. But everything went astray when the devil lycan king, Hunter, a hybrid, rumored to have murdered his parents in cold-blood at the age of seven, appeared. He's ruthless. Cold. Deadly. Unforgiving. The incarnation of pure evil. His arrival changed everything… I returned home only to find out the man I risked my life to help escape from the lycan king had found his mate. So he forgot about me. My position as his Luna for the past three years flushed down the drain. I became a laughingstock, often bullied by his new mate. What if my thirst for freedom lands me in the arms of the man I dreaded? Am I willing to accept his deal to become his toy? Is it worth my freedom? What if I also have a secret I'm hiding from him? Will I ever tell him about the son conceived from our first encounter in the woods?
