Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all. *********** With a grin that made her uneasy, he handed the application to her. “Approve this one.” Principal Jameson’s curiosity got the better of her as she took the paper from him, her eyes scanning the text. Almost immediately, her breath caught in her throat, her eyes widening in disbelief. “What the...?” “It’s perfect, isn’t it?” Asher’s voice was almost gleeful. Fucking psychopath! Jameson could hardly believe what she was reading. “Mr. Nightshade, with all due respect, this applicant….this girl just admitted to—” She couldn’t even finish the sentence, still horrified at the explicit nature of the application. Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I’m sorry, but I cannot approve this.” “She’s issued me a challenge,” Archer said, a dark gleam in his eyes. “What?” “‘Wait till you see me in bed,’” he repeated the bold line from the application, his grin widening. “And I can’t wait to find out.” “Mr. Nightshade—” He stood up, cutting off her protest as he fixed her with an intense stare. “Approve the application. I won’t ask again.” Without waiting for her response, Asher strode out of the office, confident she would follow his orders. He always got what he wanted. Archer Nightshade walked down the hall, a spring in his step. For the first time in a long while, he felt alive, his blood pulsing with excitement. The other Cardinal Alphas had no idea what he was up to, but it would soon hit them. He’d just set the game in motion. And the target was Violet Purple. It was game on. Note : This is not your average werewolf story. Eveything you think you know about werewolves would be challenged in this book. And yes, it is reverse harem. Do give the book a try.

In all of his works however, the one thing Sora could never do, His one regret in all of his life, the area he felt he failed himself the most, was that he never bothered to awaken even a basic element. He never gave himself time for love because it would give the many, enemies he made leverage over him to use him for his knowledge. Consequently, he died at the age of 19 as he simply had too many enemies to fend off with just wit and resources alone, he was struck down by the magic spell of his lifelong brother-in-arms at the forefront of war. What surprised Sora however, was the fact that not only was he given a swift death, but he was put further down on the path to reincarnation, Rather than being revived 100 years later where his name would still be very well known, he was revived 1,000 years later in the modern era. His name was still known but there was no chance for him to be recognised or hunted by a vast majority of his enemies. As a plus, he not only kept his knowledge of magic but was reborn into the body of a dead orphan ironically also named Sora. In this life Sora was going to take the path of magic he so neglected till now and make himself one of the greats of history once more, and he planned to do it by breaking all possible records along the way regardless of if he went public with his feats.

The Requiem of Lost Sheep

An old man appeared out of place in this landscape of a bar. It's bartender was rather strange, one moment a boy the next an old man on his last breath, even coughing a few times. A while later, having calmed down, the old man started a conversation with the odd bartender. "Hello, my name is Anthony Vargus. May I know why I'm here?" [Welcome current head of the Vargus familia, your new aren't you. Well, now your here, to have your sins be judged by me. Yes, a surprise isn't it. What? You thought that your organisation already killed Death? Well..., who said there couldn't be another one? Who said that those arrogant assholes up in their so-called Heaven can't be killed? Really, you guys did a really good job killing Death, now, I have a request, could you help me kill every single bast*rdous piece of crap that stinks in that "Heaven" of theirs? In exchange, your people will be free from Death's grasp for 2 years. I'd advise you to hurry, afterall, you were the one to come up with the idea of deicide aren't you? Now, scuttle back to your little mouse hole and grow tremendously with the time I bought you, grow so well that you shall no longer be a weak rat but a hungering Gigant, willing to fulfill your role to tear those f*cking Gods to shreds and when your done, We shall have a taste of the Divine flesh. Drink their blood and feast on their bones! Go! Let loose on them! Leave on my decree!] "You intend to kill more Divinities?", the old man cried out, shaking in fear at the thought. [Divinities? The Divine? Gods? Those narcissistic asshats don't deserve to be called that. I'm sure that as a member of the 5 Kings and an expert in kingdom management that you should realise that every single one of those Churches, be they member or Cardinal, their minds no longer belong to themselves and are but mere pawns of those damned "Gods" to be used for that trashy game of theirs. If you do help, outside of 2 years without Death, I shall also hand over 2 Divine ranked items and the Vessel of Chaotic Corruption, agreed?], saying that, the 'thing' in front of him raised its hand and offered it to him. And he took it. He too, had had enough of the Four Churches and was willing to even become the greatest sinner in the history of the world of Rein just to take down the Churches and stop the cruel games of the Divinities. "I hope I didn't make the wrong choice here.", said the man for he quickly reverted to his youthful days. [Don't worry too much about this deal of ours and just enjoy the new and youthful body of yours. Afterall, you aren't the only one within the 5 Kings to have contact with me. Other than you, every one of them has met me before. The first was the King of Undeath, as a Lich King, it was rather easy to pull him over here. Anyway, I'll establish the mental connection of the Mana network with you now. There it's done.], after saying this, the King of Delhait Kingdom titled King of Structure felt something poking into his head and suddenly felt a connection to 5 different places. (Ah, our old friend here finally joined us) A young voice rang out as the image of the King of Life shown itself, quickly followed by the other members of the 5 Kings. Following this the creature's mouth moved again. [Now, it's time. The first to be taken down is the Goddess of Life. Next is the Four-Elements God. After that would be the Primordial Moon Goddess. Finally, the main course will of course be the man behind the scenes, the World God.] Following this, a year and three quarters later, the world suffered tremendously for the Gods died in the hands of Men and their Divine Orders were taken away, each one in a different hand except for the King of Undeath for he was promoted to Death by the mysterious being. Finally, humanity was free from the greedy grasps of the Gods. From here on out is the story following the events as we go on and look at the being's life. [Well, well well. A rat is peeking out of it's cage. How interesting!]
