Thoroughly Devoured By A Beguiling Vampire

In the bustling modern metropolis, there exists a hidden world unknown to most—vampires are not merely the terrifying creatures of legend. They live quietly in the shadows of human society, indistinguishable from ordinary people yet fundamentally different. Our protagonist, Adrian Light, is one such vampire with a unique identity. He was not born from an ancient curse but was transformed due to an accident, forever caught between the worlds of humans and vampires. Adrian possesses eternal life and extraordinary powers, but these are not gifts he desires; they are chains he cannot break. Adrian tries to find his place in modern society. By day, he is an unassuming librarian, and by night, he becomes the city's guardian, using his abilities to help those in trouble. However, concealing his identity is no easy task. He must remain constantly vigilant to avoid revealing his true nature, especially in his interactions with humans. His friendship with his neighbor, Sarah Miller, deepens over time. Sarah's warmth and kindness allow him to glimpse the light of humanity he thought he had lost, but it also plunges him into deeper conflict—he longs to connect with humans, yet fears his identity will put her in danger. At the same time, Adrian faces threats from within the vampire community. Traditional vampire clans see him as an outcast, believing his closeness to humans violates the ancient laws of their kind. They attempt to drag him back into the darkness, even resorting to violence. Adrian is forced to navigate the precarious space between humans and vampires, striving to protect the human friends he cherishes while fending off hostility from his own kind. In this novel, vampires are no longer the traditional symbols of terror but are imbued with complex humanity. Adrian's inner world is filled with contradictions and struggles: he despises his bloodthirsty instincts but cannot entirely escape them; he yearns to integrate into human society yet knows he can never truly belong. His struggle with identity runs throughout the story, prompting readers to reflect deeply on themes of "self" and "other," "humanity" and "savagery." Through Adrian's perspective, the novel explores universal themes such as loneliness, belonging, and identity in modern society. His story is not just a fantastical adventure about vampires but also a mirror reflecting the confusion and longing within every individual. Adrian's journey is fraught with danger and challenges, but it is also filled with hope and the possibility of redemption. Can he find balance between the worlds of humans and vampires? Can he truly accept himself and discover the meaning of his existence? The answers to these questions will gradually unfold as the story progresses. With its unique perspective, profound emotional depth, and gripping plot, this novel is sure to captivate readers. It is not merely a fantasy about vampires but a profound exploration of humanity, identity, and belonging. Whether you are a fan of fantasy literature or a reader intrigued by themes of human nature, this novel will transport you into a world of contradictions and tensions, inviting you to think and empathize as you read.

What do you do when your brother dies because of some entitled assholes? You go undercover. My real name? Clare. But at school, I’m Clause—just another guy blending in. Disguised. Watching. Yes, a boy. No, it's not an all-boys school—I'm just deep undercover, hunting down the bastard responsible for my brother’s suicide. Nobody—and I mean nobody—messes with my precious brother and gets away with it. They better pray I never find them, because when I do? Death will be a mercy, and trust me—I don’t do mercy. And as for the egotistical Alpha and the narcissistic Vampire Prince? They can go fuck themselves. I don’t do mates, I don’t do claiming, and I sure as hell don’t do them.

Cassian Voss lives an ordinary life—work, family, responsibilities—until the dreams begin. Every night, he finds himself in the bodies of strangers, reliving their final moments before the world ends in fire and shadow. Meteors fall, people collapse into an unnatural sleep, and something lurks in the darkness, feeding on the helpless. At first, Cass chalks it up to stress or overwork, but the dreams refuse to fade. Worse, reality itself starts to crack—glitches in the world, missing people no one remembers, conversations looping as if the world is trying to correct itself. His best friend, Rich, has noticed it too. And then there’s her—the mysterious girl who always appears at the end of his dreams, whispering the same urgent words: "You have to wake up." But wake up from what? As Cass digs deeper, the world pushes back. The more he questions, the more dangerous things become. If the dreams are more than nightmares, if the world around him isn’t what it seems…then what happens when he finally pieces it all together? Something is hunting him. Something doesn’t want him to know the truth. And once he does—there may be no way back.

Title: The Devourer's Dominion Synopsis: In a world where abilities define the powerful, Aetheron is born into a hidden bloodline—one that holds the ability to devour and absorb the powers of others, making him an unparalleled threat to those who dare to cross him. Raised in secrecy and isolation, Aetheron grows up unaware of the full extent of his potential. His true nature is shrouded in mystery, and the secrets of his lineage have been buried for generations, leaving him to struggle against the darkness inside. Despite his extraordinary abilities, Aetheron has been forced to conceal his power for fear of drawing the attention of dangerous factions who would exploit him. But when rumors of a grand tournament surface, promising unimaginable power to its victor, Aetheron is faced with a choice—remain hidden in the shadows, or step into the light and confront the truth about his heritage. As the tournament progresses, Aetheron is forced to reveal his forbidden abilities when a life-or-death battle pushes him to the edge. With the world now aware of his Devourer ability, he quickly becomes a target for the most powerful individuals, each eager to control, kill, or use him for their own gain. As he absorbs abilities from his fallen opponents, Aetheron discovers that he can combine and grow them, crafting new and even more powerful abilities. But Aetheron is not alone in his struggle. He is surrounded by allies with forbidden abilities of their own, and together they form a fragile, yet powerful alliance. But betrayal lurks at every turn, and every new power Aetheron gains comes at a price. As factions close in and alliances shift, Aetheron must decide how far he is willing to go in order to master his powers, uncover the truth of his bloodline, and take control of his destiny. The Devourer's Dominion is a tale of power, betrayal, and destiny, where abilities intertwine and reality itself can be reshaped by those who dare to push beyond their limits. In a world where everyone has something to hide, Aetheron will find that the greatest power of all is the one that can devour it all—and dominate the very forces that seek to control him.

In the early days of the Qing dynasty, the last great empire of China, a love that was never meant to be shook the throne. Bai Haofeng—a man of no title, no wealth, nothing but devotion—dared to love the emperor’s daughter. Against all laws, against all consequences, he took her hand and ran. But love was not enough to fight fate. They were hunted, torn apart, and branded as traitors. Yet, from that forbidden love, a child was born. Longzhuang. A child unlike any other. Born with one crimson eye and one jade green, he was feared from the moment he opened his eyes. The people called him cursed. A demon-born. A sign of disaster. But Bai Haofeng saw the truth—his son was meant for something far greater. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was something far older, far more powerful. A soul that had lived a thousand lives. Each time he was reborn, he forgot. But his body remembered. His power could not be erased—the ability to summon storms, command fire, bend nature itself. And when his rage grew too great, when his human form could no longer hold him—his true self would awaken. Because Longzhuang was not just a man. He was a dragon. And he saw what others could not. The past. The present. The future. Through eyes that were feared and hated, he glimpsed destiny before it could unfold. He saw love before it arrived. He saw betrayal before it struck. He saw death before it came. Yet, no matter how many times he watched fate weave its threads, he had never been able to cut them. Because even a dragon could not escape fate. The Red String had already tied him to her. Chun Guiying—a woman the world called a courtesan. A woman owned by others. A woman he could never claim. But the moment their eyes met, the string tightened. She was bound to him, as he was bound to her. Yet, love had never been kind to those who defied fate. Just as his father’s love shattered an empire, Longzhuang’s love could bring ruin to everything. Now, enemies lurk in the shadows, the past threatens to repeat, and fate has begun to tighten its grip. Will Longzhuang finally break the curse that has followed him for lifetimes? Or will history repeat once more? ---

Johann Freyy had long accepted that life wasn’t for him. Every job he’d tried seemed to slip through his fingers, and each dismissal stung harder than the last. He was tired—tired of trying, tired of failing, tired of feeling like he was never enough.

A simple mistake, one that wasn’t even his fault, had cost him the only job he retained for a long period of time, and that was the breaking point. He had nothing left. No hope. No future. But that night, as he sat in a rowdy bar, surrounded by faces just as worn and defeated as his own, something changed. There, amid the noise and chaos, he overheard a conversation that would change his life for the better or worse.
