When Ricky Stormwind—a washed-up office worker—drank himself to death, he expected eternal nothingness. Instead, he awoke in a new world… as a mosquito. Weak as an ant. Fragile as a piece of paper. Prey to everything. But this world is no ordinary one. Magic, monsters, and powerful beings dominate the land, with ruthless forces waging war for supremacy. And Ricky? He possesses a terrifying ability—he can drain lifespan from any living creature and use it to evolve. A single bite can grant him hours. A feast?..... Years!! Now, in a forest filled with predators and beside a village on the brink of destruction, Ricky must climb the evolutionary ladder—from insignificant pest to a calamity that could devour the world itself. But when his first real meal triggers a mass sacrifice, the world mistakes him for a rising Demon Lord. Bounties are placed on his head. Armies march to hunt him down. And lurking in the shadows, a forbidden power calls to him, promising a path beyond mere survival—one that could reshape reality itself. In a world where everything is prey to something greater, something horrendous… he will rise to become the apex.

It was the season of rain when I first heard those melodies. Under the drenching sky, I was counting the sorrows of my life, While someone else was embracing each moment of theirs with the falling raindrops. And then, that voice... Soft, yet reaching straight to the heart- "Live, for life is but one-stay happy and spread it around. We are companions in this journey till death... Just give me your hand..." There was something magical in those words. It felt as if the rain had touched my sorrows, As if someone had called my name, As if an unseen hand was pulling me out of the darkness..

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] The taste of forbidden love is the sweetest agony!! They were fucking right. I, Frery Kane was whipped and captivated by a Lycan Shifter from the Bay Shifter pack in Paradise Bay. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, an irresistible pull I couldn’t deny. Alpha Tor Gale, a Lycan Shifter of unparalleled strength, only of his kind, his blood as intoxicating as ambrosia, his presence a temptation, I couldn’t escape. He made me crave more than I should or was allowed. In Paradise Bay, Vampires and Shifters are bound by ancient laws, their rivalry etched into the marrow of our existence. To meet him was to defy centuries of hatred; to love him was to risk everything. Each secret meeting was a dance with death, a betrayal of the Paradise Vampire Coven, and a rebellion against the laws that chained us. But Tor was my forbidden desire, my beautiful torment, and my greatest weakness. I knew the cost of this love, a love that could ignite war and destroy us both. But how could I resist the one thing that made my immortal heart beat once more? Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So you’ve been following me,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight. His breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. “What gave me away?” I responded my voice as low, deep, and steady. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” My jaw clenched and my gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” I taunted as my voice was laced with coldness to see if he could be threatened by my words. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” I expected him to cover but he stepped forward and responded “If it’s my blood you want,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “then come closer and take what you need” The words struck me like lightning, and a fiery heat surged through my veins. My beast clawed at my control, drawn to him in a way that defied logic. His gaze held mine, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to run or to stay. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, they called me a betrayer. A traitor to the Paradise Vampire Coven. But how could I hold back when I had tasted something far sweeter than immortality? Alpha Tor was my forbidden fruit, the Lycan Shifter Alpha who defied everything I was taught to hate. But when I surged forward, ready to face anyone who dared stand between us, fate revealed the old prophecy hidden in Hanka Island. Alpha Tor wasn’t just my lover, he was my lifetime mate, our bond blessed by the ancient magic of Hanka Island itself. And our love was not meant to follow the rules, it was meant to break them.

Last month, my cousin had a frustrating experience with a seemingly legitimate online store. She had been searching for some new tech gadgets and stumbled upon a website that appeared to be offering great deals on the latest products. The store had professional photos, a user-friendly interface, and even customer reviews, which made it seem entirely trustworthy. Convinced by the attractive prices and the professional appearance of the site, my cousin went ahead and made a purchase worth $17,000, excited to receive her new items. However, as days turned into weeks, and then into months, the delivery never came. The tracking number provided on the site didn’t work, and when my cousin tried to contact customer support, there was no response. The website itself had vanished, leaving behind only a blank page.

Ricky Dagger. Inventor. Visionary. Genius. Had his share of problems– a missing father, a high body count (not the sexy kind, unfortunately), and a city full of idiots who didn’t deserve his brilliance. But this guy? Victor? Victor was his biggest problem. Since freshman year, that bastard had been everywhere. Same classes. Same hallways. Same unsettling, ever-present smirk like he knew something Ricky didn’t. At first, it was annoying. Then it was really annoying. And now? Now it was just creepy. “Why won’t you take a hint, dude?” Ricky huffed, crossing his arms. “Should I make you a PowerPoint presentation on personal space?” Victor, as always, ignored him. “You already know the answer to that.” The taller man tilted his head, watching Ricky like he was some kind of science experiment. Great. Now he was dealing with a six-foot-four stalker who just couldn’t take a hint. “You suck!” Ricky screeched. He was angry– furious, actually– because nothing he said ever got through to this guy. Victor chuckled. Chuckled. Like Ricky was adorable instead of a mass-murdering mad scientist. “I know you like me.” Ricky’s face burned. He took several steps back in embarrassment, but Victor was always too close. Every time he tried to push this guy away, he just got closer. And that ulterior motive lurking behind Victor’s actions? Yeah. Ricky noticed it. Sure, Ricky was quite the catch if he had to say so himself– but Victor’s obsession definitely went further than flirting. He had been asking too many questions about things he should know nothing about. He made Ricky feel like prey. And Ricky hated feeling like prey. Victor closed the distance, voice dropping low. “And you're mine.” Okay. That was it. Ricky officially hated this guy.

St. Petersburg of the XXII century is a city where GOST measures happiness and the soul is equated to a failure in a program. Here, in the shining “cocoon” of the Harmony Corporation, marriages are arranged by algorithms, children are born in laboratories, and death is a service with a guarantee “after 88 years of productivity”. But even in this cold perfection, there's a glimmer of rebellion: the elite android Anna, designed to be the perfect wife, bodyguard, and spy, is suddenly awakened when a girl's memory is leaked into her code. With this unacceptable virus, known as 0xLOVE, she begins to feel, and raindrops turn into tears and mirrors into reflections of other people's fates. Meeting Vronsky, a Cyber Guard captain whose fate is closely intertwined with hers, they become witnesses and participants in a massive rebellion against a soulless system. Together they challenge the algorithms, striving to prove that true humanity is hidden in imperfection and freedom of feeling. But the main question remains open: can a machine, created according to the laws of perfect harmony, find a soul and the right to make mistakes? This story is a confession of an android who has learned the price of true life, and a hymn of rebellion against the system, where love becomes a cracking of the very code of the world. p. s.

Anna Maria was perfect. Gabrielle Nandia was not. Anna Maria had the sweetest of smiles, with a presence that purified upon arrival. Gabrielle did not. She was always alone and gloomy, and the only thing that followed her were bad rumors. That day, Anna Maria was in a bad mood and wanted to eat alone. She glanced out of the window from the cafeteria. Outside, a figure sat under the tree, eating. Every bite was framed with a resplendent expression, which shone so brightly it blinded her. There was no smile, but the expression shown was as ephemeral as ice, melting before one could fully grasp the allure of its sweetness. Anna Maria blinked, scrubbing her eyes and readjusting her glasses to make sure of what she had seen, but the occupant had left before she could tell who it was. She searched for a week and finally found her—Gabrielle Nandia. She grasped the palm of the startled girl with a bewitching smile. "Gabrielle, will you please be my muse?"

Anterors a cupid, brimming with youthful enthusiasm, dreams of ruling over the realm of love alongside his father, the esteemed Cupid King Amor. However, his attempts to inspire love with his bow and arrow are met with unexpected resistance. His arrows seem to lose their magic, falling harmlessly to the ground. Despondent, Anterors confronts his father, who reveals a crucial truth: true power in the realm of love lies not in forced affection, but in genuine healing. To prove his worth, Cupid must mend the broken heart of Anna, a young woman whose life was irrevocably altered by the sudden and tragic loss of her parents in a car accident. Anna, grappling with the profound grief and trauma of the accident, has built impenetrable walls around her heart. Haunted by the memory of her parents, she struggles with intense grief, fear, and a deep-seated distrust of the world. She has sworn off love, believing it to be a cruel illusion, and has become cynical and withdrawn. Anterors, initially hesitant, embarks on a challenging journey to reach Anna. He must navigate the complexities of human emotions, understand the depth of Anna's pain, and ultimately earn her trust. He must learn to recognize the subtle signs of her trauma – the flashbacks, the anxiety, the emotional numbness – and offer support and comfort without intruding on her grief. Along the way, Anterors discovers that true love is not about grand gestures or fleeting infatuations. It's about empathy, understanding, and the courage to face vulnerability. He learns to listen to Anna's story, to validate her feelings, and to offer genuine comfort and support. Slowly, Anna begins to open her heart to Cupid, not as a symbol of love, but as a compassionate friend. As their bond deepens, Anterors realizes that true healing comes from within, and his role is to simply guide and support Anna on her journey of self-discovery and recovery. Through his experiences with Anna, Anterors discovers the true meaning of love – not as a force to be wielded, but as a powerful force for healing and growth. He learns that genuine love requires patience, understanding, and the courage to be vulnerable himself. In the end, Anna's heart begins to mend, not because of Anterors magical arrows, but because of the genuine connection they have forged. Cupid, having learned the true essence of his powers, proves himself worthy of the throne, not as a king of forced affections, but as a king of hearts, a true Heartmender.
