The female devil, Chu Ru, has been reincarnated. For a thousand years, her legends still pervade the continent. The Pill - Saint Shan Shan, the World - Destroying Chu Yihou, the Sword - Casting Ancestor... are all her aliases! In her previous life, she was betrayed by her elder sister, torn apart by chariots, and her soul was suppressed in the deep abyss. In this life, she returns proudly, slaying the prodigies, killing her enemies, and suppressing the Heavenly Dao! One day, a rumor spreads: It is said that the Demon Emperor doesn't like women because the damned female devil of the human race molested him a thousand years ago and then ran away! Upon hearing this, Chu Ru says, "It wasn't me! I didn't do it!" The cold - tempered Demon Emperor holds the hand of a porcelain - like doll and stands behind her, saying, "Didn't do it? Then where did the son come from?" A thousand years ago, the name of the female devil made the demons turn pale with fear. Among the demons she dealt with, nine out of ten were emasculated. The female devil issued a fierce threat: One day, I will burn the Demon Emperor's fox tail! It is well - known that before her death, the female devil Chu Yihou had eight great demon lords. The eighth demon lord, Tuling, was mysterious. The only sign of him was that bald tail. A thousand years later, looking at his own bald tail, the Demon Emperor recalls the past and gnashes his teeth: He, the mighty Demon Emperor, has become a vassal of his archenemy! The reincarnated female devil doesn't want to admit it at all. It's not until she sees the ten tails fluttering behind the Demon Emperor that Chu Ru says, "Ah... I don't want this dog - like fox man either, but he has..."

* At night He was rugged and untamed. That one steamy night left Grace utterly captivated. She coyly stretched out her dainty, snow-white feet, hooking them around his waist as she softly laid down her terms: For the first time, no staying overnight. The second time, the moment he got himself a significant other, she'd vanish from his side. Later on, their liaison would remain strictly on a physical level. No strings of money attached, no emotional fetters, just the most primal and unadulterated desires that flared up when night fell, entwining them like a web spun by countless spiders. And once the moment had passed, she'd straighten her skirt and turn her back on him, cold as ice. *During daytime He was the heir to a vast business empire, now impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of aristocratic reserve. He extended his hand to her with a polite smile, “Hello, Grace.” Grace gritted her teeth in secret dismay. She hastened to call off whatever was brewing between them, only to find herself cornered against the dressing room by the man, with no way out. In that cramped space, he was a relentless predator, and she, his irresistible quarry. His firmness pressed against her soft curves, setting every inch ablaze. Outside the door, her female colleagues were swooning over his chiseled abs. Just a thin partition away, he locked his arm around her willowy waist, seized her delicate hand, and guided it to rest on his taut abdomen, his voice dripping with a sultry allure, “Thought you could slip away? It's far too late for that.”

The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her?

Nate’s POV: The Beast Awakens The burning started in my chest—subtle at first, like a dull ache, but it quickly spread like wildfire. My vision blurred, and every nerve in my body screamed. Not now. Not here. I stumbled back, gripping my arms as the pain intensified. It felt like something inside me was tearing free, clawing its way to the surface. My breath came in ragged gasps, and the world around me dimmed. "Nate, stay with me!" Leona’s voice barely registered through the storm raging in my head. The heat surged, and with it, a primal force I couldn’t contain. My skin prickled, muscles twisting and bones cracking as fur erupted along my arms. My hands... no, claws now, dug into the dirt. My nails were black, curved, and razor-sharp. A deep, guttural growl escaped my throat, one I didn’t recognize as my own. "Nate!" Leona yelled again, stepping closer. Brave, or stupid. Maybe both. I lifted my head, locking eyes with her. Her fear hit me like a wave—but behind it, there was something else. Trust. “Stay back,” I growled, my voice layered with something... inhuman. My lips curled back, revealing sharp teeth. The beast wanted out. It wanted blood. But I wasn’t ready to give it everything. Not yet. With a shuddering breath, I forced myself to stand, claws flexing, muscles coiled like steel. I could feel the strength surging through me—powerful, untamed, and deadly. "You wanted a monster," I snarled, glaring at the enemy ahead. "You’ve got one." ---

"I will protect you." She said, with a determined gaze. "You can Barely even protect yourself. You are not strong enough." He retorted. "Then, just wait for Me to get stronger." She said, with a smile. "You have no right to be here. We cut ties remember?" He said, glaring at her fiercely. "I am not here for you. I am here for the family. I still have people I treasure here. So let me through or else..." She completed her statement by majestically drawing out her sword. So many secrets lay hidden. Injustice in the form of justice. Lies, fabricated to become truth.

Eliot never expected to die at the hands of Truck Kun, and certainly never expected to be reincarnated into a world of mystical beast masters, where every human has a unique power and the creatures they command are more dangerous and spectacular than anything he’s seen in his old life. But when the cosmic forces mishandled his reincarnation, Eliot was thrust into a world full of absurdity, chaos, and creatures that can only be described as very much not from Earth. Now, armed with an unpredictable power, a chicken with a superiority complex, and a pig-bird hybrid that can’t stop eating his clothes, Eliot is faced with the ultimate challenge: learning to be a beast master—a title he definitely didn’t ask for. With his so-called mentor, Lyra, being more of a chaotic force of nature than a teacher, Eliot has to navigate a world where beast battles, magical creatures, and the constant risk of being eaten by something with teeth the size of his head are just part of the daily grind. The guilds are bureaucratic, the creatures are way too smart for their own good, and his powers make him the target of both allies and enemies. Along the way, Eliot will try (and fail) to make sense of his new life, face off against absurdly strong opponents, and attempt to actually get his beasts to follow basic commands—while somehow managing not to destroy the world in the process. Will Eliot ever find a way to use his powers without causing absolute chaos? And more importantly, will he ever get to sleep through the night without being woken up by an overly smug chicken?

When I opened my eyes, I found myself face to face with Darius Thorne, the main character of [Arcanus Academy], who was looking at me with disdain. Many questions raced through my mind.

Have I somehow entered the world of my favorite game, like in those Web Novels I read so often? I opened my mouth, about to ask one of the many questions that had come to mind upon realizing the huge mess I was in. What I was about to say would be my first words in this new world. I had to be careful; the slightest mistake could worsen my current situation, which, judging by how things looked, didn’t seem good at all. "Can you get that thing out of your teeth?

She shouldn’t want him. His hands are rough, demanding, as they drag her forward. His mouth grazes the shell of her ear, breath warm, voice dark and full of pure possession. “Say it.” Minjae murmurs, his fingers threading into her hair, tilting her chin up to look at him. She refuses. Her lips part—only for a sharp gasp to escape when he presses her against the desk, trapping her between his body and the cold wood. “You were mine before you even knew it.” he breathes, dragging his lips down the curve of her throat. His teeth scrape her skin, a warning, a promise. She shivers. She hates him. She wants him. “Say it.” he demands again, voice rough, almost desperate now. Yeijin clenches her fists. But her body betrays her. “…I’m yours.” The groan that leaves him is pure sin. And then? Then he ruins her all over again.

Arthur and Eve arrive in Lukh, a town shrouded in eerie silence, where the streets are empty and the air feels staged. The only sign of life is a lone diner, where they encounter Khill, a sharp-witted teenager who hints at something sinister lurking beneath the town’s quiet façade. The locals are either at the Church of the Trinity or taken to a mysterious camp, and their absence feels orchestrated. Things take a darker turn when a man with diamond-cut teeth arrives at the diner. Arthur recognizes him instantly—an infamous cult leader who vanished ten years ago. The town’s history is riddled with disappearances, strange rituals, and a fanatical devotion to a hidden power. Arthur and Eve soon realize they are not just investigating a cult—they are trespassers in a town that has been waiting for them. As they dig deeper, they uncover a secret tied to the Museum of Benardos, where relics and old maps hint at a greater conspiracy. The town was rebuilt unnaturally fast, almost like it had been prepared for something. Arthur’s suspicions are confirmed when the church bells ring out in the dead of night—a hunting call for something ancient and inhuman. Khill, who seems to know more than he lets on, warns them of the Likho, a supernatural entity summoned by the cult to eliminate traitors. As they flee through the fog-drenched streets, they realize the entire town is in on it—the people are either devout followers or too afraid to resist. The deeper they go, the closer they come to uncovering the cult’s true purpose: an ancient sacrifice meant to bring forth something far worse than death. With time running out, Arthur, Eve, and Khill must make a choice—stop the ritual, or become its next victims.
