At the heart of a wish lies an attempt at completion, a human desire to become our true and final selves. Wishes are fuelled by regrets and are bound eternally to the past, serving as approximations of what once was. We all experience regret and nostalgia, leading us to make wishes and find despair, but can we become our true selves despite this all? That's where the story of a girl who struggles to control her desires begins... Two souls sharing the same body and memory are living in Kyoto 2031. Tang-Ji Shizukesa, a girl who's grown up in her previous life with a hardcore passion for gaming, is now a bookworm in her new life who has no interest in video games. Along with her, Kazami and Hoyeon, the three childhood friends who separated 7 years ago due to an accident, have now been reunited again in a VRMMORPG game known as Dusk Protocol. The game has a unique combat system known as "Leere," a physical manifestation of an individual soul that can be conjured into deadly weapons. As Tang-Ji navigates this virtual world, she confronts the echoes of her past and the dissonance between her former self and her present identity. How will she cope with the rediscovery of a life she thought she left behind? How will Kazami and Hoyeon react to the new Tang-Ji? In a world where reality is malleable and death is just a click of a button away, the boundaries between past and present blur, forcing everyone to grapple with the truth of who they truly are.

In a world where Lycans and werewolves are sworn enemies, Eve Valmont is a werewolf cursed by a prophecy and framed. Betrayed by her own pack and imprisoned for years, her fate takes a darker twist when she is offered to the Lycan King, Hades Stavros—a ruler feared for his ruthless conquests and deadly prowess. Bound by an ancient prophecy and haunted by the ghosts of her past, Eve is now at the mercy of the one being she should hate and fear the most—The Hand of Death himself. Hades, a king carved from blood and his own soul's decay, determined to avenge his family's slaughter and rid his people of the werewolves. He believes Eve is the key to his victory. To him, she is nothing but weapon foretold by prophecy, a tool he will wield to destroy the opposing forces threatening his pack. Yet, he finds himself craving this powerful yet broken woman. Leaving him questioning if she is truly his weapon or the one destined to unravel his carefully laid plans. *** He stalked toward me, a predator closing in on its prey, his eyes dark and unreadable. "So, you laugh?" His voice was low, dangerously soft, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I swallowed hard, suddenly aware of how difficult it had become to breathe. "Hades, I—" "But you only laugh at other men's jokes," he interrupted, his gaze piercing, devoid of any humor. "Not your husband's." The accusation in his tone was sharp, slicing through the air between us. A nervous chuckle escaped me. "You can't be serious... He’s your beta, for Goddess’ sake." In an instant, he closed the distance between us, so fast it left me breathless. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body, the heat of him making my skin tingle. I gasped, but before I could say a word, his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth with a force that sent shockwaves through me. The kiss was punishing, hungry—I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. When he finally pulled back, I was trembling, my chest heaving as I struggled to regain my breath. His eyes, dark and stormy, searched mine with a possessive intensity. "You can’t laugh at my jokes..." he whispered, his voice a dangerous rasp as his fingers trailed lower, sending a shiver down my spine, "but you’ll come with my fingers." I shivered, heat pooling low in my belly at his words, his touch. The world around us blurred, fading into nothing as his hand slipped lower, drawing a ragged gasp from my lips. The look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and there was no denying the primal connection between us in that moment. "I don’t need your laughter," he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. "I’ll have every other part of you instead." **** Dark fantasy romance Morally Grey ML Angst Suspense ENEMIES to lovers Smut (like sprinkles on your ice cream)

Lilith was born with forbidden magic, a power feared and condemned in her village. She hid it for years, but when her secret is exposed, she is betrayed by her family and sentenced to burn. Just as the flames rise, Prince Hades of Valyron known as the "Shadow of Death" saves her, driven by curiosity. Hades, cursed for over three centuries, hides his torment behind cruelty. As Lilith sees past his darkness and vows to help him break the curse, their bond deepens into something undeniable. But in a world where magic is both a gift and a curse, will her light free him, or will their love lead to their destruction? EXCERPT Lilith barely breathed as Hades emerged from the shadows of her chamber, his presence wrapping around her like night itself. She should move. She should run. But she didn’t want to. He reached for her, his fingers trailing along her bottom lip—slow, deliberate. She shivered, not from fear, but from him. Lilith swallowed, her pulse a traitorous drumbeat. “Please… let me touch you, Hades.” A ghost of a smile tugged at his lips, but there was no humor in it. “Dangerous little thing.” His thumb lingered at the corner of her mouth, as if memorizing its shape. He whispered, tilting her chin up as his lips hovered near hers—so close she could feel his breath. “You will destroy me, little witch,” he murmured, his voice thick with something raw. “And yet… I can’t let you go.” His gaze burned into hers as he added, “I would let you drag me to hell if that’s what you desired.”

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A DEVIL FALLS IN LOVE? *** Alice was told that she was cursed. Perhaps she didn't need to be told. It was as clear as day. The only thing she wanted was MONEY. And she would do anything to get it. Even if it meant pretending to be her twin sister to change her fate. For one year. She didn't mind being a fake and marrying the Wildfire Heir. He would barely be around, she had been told. 'He doesn't seem like much trouble,' she had also been told. 'The third son, on the other hand, is crazy. Stay away from him.' 'As for the second son... avoid him at all costs.' 'Do not cross his path.' But she did. She crossed his path. In fact, she went right into his path herself. And as if that wasn't bad enough, the groom was changed at the last minute. To the Second Son! He was as hot as he was cold. A terrifyingly sexy man who looked like the man she always saw in her dreams. Was this all merely a coincidence? But that wasn't all. She hadn't expected pretending to be her sister to be this tough. First of all, she missed a very important detail: her sister was a Lawyer. She, on the other hand, was only familiar with "You have the right to remain silent..." Secondly, her sister was picky. She was vegetarian. She didn't drink. And... she was bullied? And just maybe... there was more to her sudden disappearance. Her life was about to get much more complicated. Especially with those scary blue eyes watching her every move like a predator on a mission. One year. Was the benefit worth it—worth putting her life on the line to deceive the Wildfires? She might die before the year was over. **** "Women like powerful men, Boss. They like to feel powerless when they are with a man." Hades had initially scoffed, but the idea had wormed its way into his mind. So when he saw her coming from the opposite direction, he decided to test this theory on her. Women liked to feel powerless? As soon as she saw him, her gaze sharpened, wondering why that madman was looking at her with a determined glint in his eyes. Should she run away? But he was already in front of her. "What are you—" He scoops Alice off the ground in one swift motion and drapes her over his shoulder like a sack of flour. All shocked eyes turned to the scene, but no one dared say a word, as they froze mid-air. "HADES!! YOU IMBECILE! PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANT!" She thrashes wildly, kicking her legs and flailing her arms. Hades, however, remains unfazed, carrying her out of the place with a triumphant smirk. He didn't believe in love theories, but he had a feeling she would be falling in love with him after this. At the other end, three of his underling watched the scene. "I think Lady Boss is enjoying it. She looks… happy." One noted. The other underling tried to stare intently at Alice's upside-down face. "I think so... I've never seen her look so bubbly around the boss." The third underling was watching, slack-jawed. He facepalmed dramatically. This wasn't what he meant when he told them women liked to feel powerless. Meanwhile, Alice... (Still screaming) *** EXCERPT II: "She is not answering your calls and told you to STOP calling her. Boss, I think your little bride might be mad at you." He snorted. "You are so clueless." "What's your insight, Boss?" "If she keeps rejecting my calls, it only means one thing..." They all leaned closer to hear his powerful insight. "She wants my physical presence," he said with a smug look. One of them wanted to say he didn't think so, but he was too scared to say anything. "Should I go. Should I not go?" He contemplated with a bored look on his face. "GRANT HER WISH, BOSS!" The other clueless henchmen echoed passionately. He smirked. "If you say so," and then he stood up. "Get the car." **** Pleasee add to your library. A bit of dark and fluffy romance. 18+ Comedic. Makes you sit in the edge as Alice tries her best to never get caught (quite futile) See you in the comment section!

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood, and some anomalies have abilities that are completely astray from basic principles. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

In the dawn of a new world, only six beings remained—witnesses of the cataclysmic war that reshaped existence. They were the Six Primordial Dragons, the architects of reality’s six fundamental forces, entrusted as guardians of this reborn world. But power breeds corruption. One of them—the Dragon of Chaos—succumbed to the madness of bloodlust and betrayal. His unrelenting thirst for conflict fractured the fragile peace, sparking a rift between dragons and humans. Distrust grew into enmity. War returned. And then, the Dragon of Chaos vanished. Among those who rose to resist the dragons was a young man named Hades—a prodigy among Dragon Slayers. Famed for his flawless record and unmatched resolve, Hades had never lost a single comrade on the battlefield. With the promise of becoming the youngest official Hunter, he was a symbol of hope. Until everything crumbled. A mission went horribly wrong. His closest friend perished. The world that once praised him turned its back. His comrades pointed fingers. His fiancée, once his anchor, returned his ring with silent condemnation. Abandoned. Shattered. Branded a failure.

I thought I was just an ordinary guy—until I woke up in Peter Parker’s body. Yeah. That Peter Parker. Spider-Man. The wall-crawler. The friendly neighborhood hero. But something’s not right here… This isn’t just the Marvel universe I know. In this world, Gotham City exists alongside New York. Metropolis shines under Superman’s watchful eye. Atlantis, Themyscira, and heroes from both Marvel and DC share the same streets. And if that wasn’t enough? I didn’t just inherit Peter Parker’s powers. I have something else. The Trait Copy System. It lets me copy one trait—any ability, skill, or power—from others. Heroes, villains, even gods. I just need a Trait Token to claim it. But here’s the catch: The system’s first mission? Save Uncle Ben… or let him die as fate intended. With organic webbing coursing through my veins, a system that can steal powers, and a world filled with gods and monsters, the question isn’t just whether I can survive. It’s whether I’ll change this world… or become its greatest threat... AUTHOR NOTE (Do except some changes from the original plot) (Marvel and Dc don't belong to me...and the cover is ai generated)

He was just an ordinary man from modern era. Yet he was also a feared deity worshipped in divine era. In this time where gods walked with mortals, he will survive and thrive. He is no longer a man. He is Hades, the God of the Dead and King of Underworld.

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

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.

Em um mundo onde até os mortos têm propósito, um jovem sem passado desperta para um destino que transcende vida, tempo e Deuses. Após morrer, ele renasce com um novo nome — Hades — e um chamado que ainda não compreende. Acompanhado pela enigmática Deusa da Morte, Perséfone, ele atravessa campos de girassóis onde o silêncio respira e o tempo hesita, aprende com mestres de épocas esquecidas e com os próprios ecos do mundo de Chaia, um continente dividido entre fé, poder e antigos pecados. Enquanto aprende os três aspectos da morte e busca dominar o quarto ao lado de Perséfone, Hades precisa enfrentar verdades enterradas: o segredo dos Nosferatus, os únicos vampiros existentes — criados pela própria Deusa da Morte —, a guerra fria entre divindades e a ameaça velada do Rei Demônio que mesmo inativo, ainda molda o destino dos reinos. Entre beijos roubados ao tempo, danças com a eternidade e o fardo de um amor impossível, Hades aprenderá que ser apóstolo da morte é mais do que cumprir um papel. É lembrar aos vivos o valor de tudo o que morre. E, talvez, de tudo o que pode renascer.

In this new life, he vows to gain power, influence, and wealth—and to live it in the most enjoyable way possible. But… can he truly succeed? Especially in a world so turbulent, plagued with corruption, and filled with hidden dangers.

I have to keep my difficulties within because that is the only way I can physically prevent myself from trying to commit suicide. Is it not preferable to be physically dead but mentally dead? I am currently accustomed to being mentally dead, and no one would know unless I made an effort to tell them otherwise.
