When Does Tobi Reveal Himself As Obito

Plot Synopsis for Deadly When Desired My name is Rhea Morgan. Born into privilege, but hardened by betrayal, I was never meant to be soft. Behind the glossy gates of the Morgan dynasty lies a brutal truth, one that forced me to trade innocence for instinct. The story begins with my return to New York, summoned home after years in hiding, only to discover my father once feared, now murdered. His death wasn’t random. It was calculated. And all fingers point inward to the family, to the empire he built, and to the man who once promised to protect me. As I investigate the truth behind my father's death, I’m dragged into a dangerous power struggle between two brutal crime syndicates: the Morgans, whose name I bear, and the Valencis, led by the cold, enigmatic Silas Valenci. He is ruthless, intelligent, and worse, infuriatingly attractive. Our chemistry is deadly. Our history is darker. The development unfolds as I am forced into an uneasy alliance with Silas. But trust doesn’t come easy not when I’m also being hunted by someone inside my own bloodline. Layers of deception begin to unravel. I find secrets buried in walls, money laundered through charity, and lies woven into lullabies I was once sung as a child. Meanwhile, a second figure emerges Elias Kaine, my former flame turned federal agent, now assigned to destroy the very empire my family built. Torn between Silas' dangerous obsession and Elias’ wounded loyalty, I find myself at the center of a toxic triangle that could either save or destroy me. The climax reaches its peak when I uncover the real killer, someone I least expected. The betrayal cuts deep, forcing me to choose between vengeance and survival. A war ignites. Blood spills. I become the storm I was running from. The story doesn’t promise peace, but it demands transformation. Rhea is no longer the girl who fled. She is the woman who fights.

Kyoline Diego was born of blood, betrayal, and gunfire. Born of a Respectable Made Man, a child who frightened a few but was cherished by all. Her world was destroyed the day her father was assassinated and her family left for dead. Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is.

He wishes to see how far she will go to save herself. Now Kyoline is caught between two men who both report to the same violent underworld—and both want her for different reasons. One wants to cage her up. The other wants to burn her alive. But the mafia doesn't believe in love. The mafia believes in loyalty.

Centuries ago, the Elyari Empire collapsed in a cataclysm of magic, leaving behind cursed soil, shattered thrones, and the "Fast Lives" — a cruel spell that dooms peasants to live full lives in only a decade. Now, fifty young sovereigns — scions of ancient houses — each rule their fragments of a broken realm, spread across wild biomes from icy mountains to scorched deserts, tangled forests to fertile plains. Among them is Alexios of House Helion, called Caesar, a charismatic leader in the plains, who dreams of unity. With his sister Niharika, a healer, and a circle of builders, warriors, and diplomats, he dares to imagine an island healed. He is joined — and opposed — by a web of rulers: Amir, a desert tactician; Thalia, a cultured visionary; Takahashi, the isolationist shogun of the forests; Julia, the cunning queen of Duskreach; Lyra, the stoic queen of ice; Astrid, a war-hardened tactician; and many others. As alliances rise and collapse, ancient tombs whisper secrets of the past. A prophecy emerges — a second calamity is near. When Alexios and Amir uncover lost Elyari texts in a volcano’s heart, they vow to stop history from repeating. But prophecy is not easily bent. Ramses and Adonis revolutionize village-building, ushering a new age of infrastructure and cooperation. Weddings are held, flags are raised, and pacts are signed. But underneath the progress, betrayals fester. Julia builds a web of spies. Orlan rises from exile. Takahashi's code clashes with diplomacy. Amir is poisoned. Friendships unravel. Whispers of an undead army echo from ancient tombs. The cursed minerals of vaelstone — coveted, dangerous, powerful — begin to reawaken forces best left buried. When Julia misreads the prophecy and activates a forgotten army, the dead rise again — and this time, they do not recognize kings from peasants. As kingdoms fall and cities burn, a final alliance of survivors unites: not for power, but survival. The past has awakened, and it remembers everyone. To save the island, the inheritors of Elarion must decide: Will they repeat the sins of their ancestors… or rise above them?

The world believes the Alden bloodline died with the flames. But Riven Alden—prince turned exile—remembers everything. The screams. The betrayal. The night his kingdom was erased by those meant to protect it. Now, he's no prince. No crown. Just a name whispered in the ashes. Armed with nothing but a cursed sword and the rage of a thousand ghosts, Riven sets out to tear down the three monarchs who burned his past. One kingdom at a time. This is not a hero’s tale. This is not redemption. This is the story of a man who lost everything— and what’s left when there's nothing but fire inside. Vengeance isn’t justice. It’s survival.

Once, Arven was humanity's strongest hero, a symbol of hope, a guardian of peace, and an exterminator of darkness. However, after the betrayal of those he protected, his life was taken on the holy battlefield. When he opened his eyes again, Arven had been reincarnated... not as a human, but as the new Demon King named Raelzar Valladolid, ruler of the world of darkness he had always hated. With the power of overwhelming demonic magic, burning memories of the past, and unresolved grudges, Arven faces a great dilemma: should he avenge the world that destroyed him, or create a new world from the ruins? In the midst of the conflict between light and darkness, Arven must choose to remain a monster in the eyes of humans, or prove that even demons can bring justice.

Masculine-presenting, proud, and emotionally guarded, Skylar has one rule never need anyone. Avery Sinclair has everything money can buy status, luxury, a last name that opens doors before she knocks. But privilege doesn’t protect her from silence. Cold family expectations, a curated image, and an identity wrapped in gold chains keep her from asking the question she fears most: Who am I without all this armor? They are both studs. Both dominant. Both used to leading, never chasing. And neither of them has ever looked twice at someone who looked like the mirror. Until now. When a random locker assignment turns into tension that simmers in silence, Skylar and Avery find themselves circling a connection they both deny. It’s not attraction. It can’t be. They don’t fit. They’re not supposed to. But glances linger too long. Words cut too deep. And slowly, their carefully built personas begin to crack. As lines blur and walls close in, the question isn’t whether they’re falling it’s whether they’ll let themselves. Because love between two studs? That’s uncharted. Forbidden. Beautiful. And if they let it… it might just ruin them or set them free.

What happens when reality starts to bug out and your life as you know it is flipped upside down? Anomalies that couldn't possibly exist start to pop out of nowhere. This was the exact situation Magnus found himself in after a bizarre glitch yanked him from his own universe and tossed him into another. In this new, fantastical world brimming with magic and supernatural phenomena, Magnus's unexpected arrival landed him in possession of the Command Console, a tool that seems to be able to edit almost anything. With it, Magnus creates a variety of supernatural abilities that defy all common sense, even in a world of fantasy. Whether it was one that granted him truly endless strength or the ability to create detailed simulations of reality within his own mind, anything was possible. But Magnus isn't the only instance of such logic-defying abilities.

When faced with all of these chaotic elements, Magnus comes to a decision. "Alright, if these are all glitches, then I'll simply have to be the one to fix them."

Takara Minami has always been a burst of light in the darkest rooms—talkative, expressive, and stubbornly hopeful even after losing nearly everything. When he transfers to a prestigious high school and moves into the dorms, he’s forced to share a room with the last kind of person he can understand: Kayo Tsukishiro. Quiet. Reclusive. Precise. A boy with headphones always on and eyes that never quite meet his. At first, they clash. Loud meets quiet. Chaos meets control. But over late-night arguments, silent dinners, and the fragile intimacy of shared space, something begins to grow—something that looks a lot like friendship. Maybe even more. As their lives intertwine and they move through school, loss, distance, and first heartbreaks, Takara and Kayo learn that love isn’t just the fire between opposites—it’s the slow burn of choosing someone again and again, even when it’s hard. Even when it means letting go. Years later, fate brings them back together—older, bruised, changed.

Have you ever how the 'unique quest chains' are born, how 'mega-rare super-items' just drop out of thin air, and why every random minor character in the starting village is a hidden expert? I am the reason. I am the silently curshing ghost ofthe machine running cogs of 'secret quests', the plot-driving device of destiny, the shepherd to the millions of players that just KNOW that every stone holds a unique opportunity for loot, lore and skills. I am a sole Admin of the greatest DMMO-RPG, partialy AI and a man who holds the great responsibility overseeing the life of the game... With a slight problem though.

When it would have 10 chapters here? 28 chapters are there. So... You know? You can support my life there for 18 chapters ahead of the curve. I will be very grateful!

He ruled an empire no one could see. He broke nations without ever raising a sword. He was the ghost in the system — the man even kings feared to name. Lucien Vale. In the modern world, they called him the Monarch Without a Throne. A manipulator. A shadow. A mind that bent the world with nothing but words. But one day… that mind collapsed. No war. No betrayal. Just silence. And when he opened his eyes again— He was in the snow. In the body of a murdered child. In a world that knows no skyscrapers. No markets. No logic. Just bloodlines, sigils… and a name long since disgraced: Kael Rivenhart. But Lucien doesn’t believe in fate. And he doesn’t believe in weakness. > “This is not my body. Not my war. But this world? This world belongs to me now.” As whispers of Kael’s past claw at his mind, and ancient powers stir beneath ice and bone, a fallen king begins his quiet ascent. This time, he won’t just control an empire. He’ll reshape the world itself.
