Raised to suppress her magical lineage, she harbors a quiet resentment for the legacy that robbed her of everything she held dear. But when her latent powers awaken, the very essence she was taught to despise becomes the key to her survival. Her path collides with Gabriel, a mysterious figure tied to a secretive witch faction known as *The Synod.* When he intervenes to save an innocent from execution, Olivia’s perspective shifts, sparking a transformation that challenges her understanding of her world and herself.

Junior Smith was regarded as the useless and poor son-in-law in the eyes of all, but then, everything changed, starting with his name. "So, I can call you mother?" Junior asked Emily "Of course. You're my son" Emily answered "And one more thing" she continued, "Your name is actually Mansion Miller Junior." His father, Mansion Miller, was CEO of D'Miller brand, the country's top company.

Durin stroked the black cat on the armrest of his chair, sitting on the black leather sofa. Through the glasses perched on his nose, his gaze passed over the long table in front of him and settled on the man kneeling on the carpet: "I understand, you've made money in Naples, your business has been very successful, and you've led a happy life. You've had those secret police, friends in both the law and the underground, and even the Royal Family speaking on your behalf." "You don't need a friend like me, I know that. You're afraid of owing me a favor, and you don't want to get involved in troubles." "But now you come to me and say, 'I beg you, Mr. Durin of the Corleon family, please help me seek justice, so that my life and my family will not suffer and sink into despair.' Yet, in your eyes, I was nothing more than a second-rate artist involved in movies and music. Even at the brink of death, you still show me such disrespect, not even willing to call me by my title... Keeper of Secrets."

Tan Rou only learned that she wasn’t the Tan family’s daughter when she was seventeen years old. She went from being a rich young lady to living in the slums. The parents she adored belonged to someone else, and this series of knockdowns was hard for a seventeen-year-old girl to accept. She wailed like a child for the sake of proving this was all a lie. The vicious words she spouted had hurt her biological family but she didn’t notice. She thought the Tan family was her real family despite them seeing her as an eyesore, and was even naive enough to want to befriend the Tan family’s real daughter, Tan Jing. Alas, the latter drugged her drink and arrange for a thug to rape her. Tan Jing even brought their classmates along to catch them in the act so Tan Rou was now tainted for life. After being reborn, she looked down at the man she was stepping on. Tan Rou swore not to be a useless wretch in this life or be bullied to death. She would stomp on those who wronged her and make it up to her real family. They wouldn’t have had to die tragically on the streets in the past life had it not been for her. Tan Rou turned completely evil after crawling back out of Hell. Everyone claimed that the real young lady was educated and talented, while the fake young lady was arrogant and incompetent. Tan Rou scoffed upon hearing this. She held back her brother from trying to stand up for her. “We have all the time in the world. Let’s just wait and see.” Just as everyone was waiting for Tan Rou to make a fool of herself… A top-class perfumer, a top scholar, a world champion… The fake young lady’s multiple identities kept getting exposed one after another, bumping her up to number one on the trending search, shocking the world. Wait, where was the promised humiliation?

Lucifer Morningstar. Yeah, I know—sounds like a joke, right? Who names their kid after the Devil himself? My father, of course. Abaddon Morningstar, a deluded Satanist obsessed with bringing about the end times. And because of him, I spent my entire life in the shadow of a name I couldn’t escape. Growing up in a house where rituals, blood, and darkness were commonplace, I became a pariah, bullied by everyone—family, friends, and even strangers. No one saw past the name. No one saw me. Instead, I was just "Lucifer," destined to inherit the dark legacy of some fallen god. But then came Celeste. My half-little sister. The one bright spot in my miserable existence. She was everything I wasn’t—kind, innocent, pure. I swore to protect her from the nightmare that was our father. In a world where I was tainted by my own blood, Celeste was my only redemption. But life never plays fair. One tragic night, everything changed. In a brutal twist of fate, my world shattered. My father’s madness escalated, leading to a catastrophe that stole everything I held dear. My sister, the only person I ever truly loved, was taken from me, leaving me with nothing but a bitter emptiness and the anger of an entire lifetime. He said, "A devil shouldn't care about 'inferiors'." ...but I did. I cared. And that’s what made my fall so much more unforgivable in his eyes. I swore vengeance on the man who tore my world apart. And I succeeded but at the cost of a runic ceremonial dagger plugged into my heart that drained the last bit of my life force. As the dagger crushed my heart, everything faded. Darkness. Silence. Then... nothing. At first, I thought it was the end. Maybe I’d finally been claimed by the darkness my father worshipped. But then I awoke, gasping for breath in a new world. ------------------------ Check out my works. Reincarnated As Karna With System Mahabharata I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

The Belfast kingdom was a small kingdom amidst other kingdoms, made up of rare-blood elves, who were ever scorned for their almost human like appearance and their limited mana reserves. Yet, they all lived a positive life, not blaming or cursing the humans, or the other demi humans. This is what Renard Belfast, the only child of the Belfast royal family, loved about the kingdom. No matter what, they all kept their smiles, shaping him into a compassionate soul, with dreams of a brighter future.

Kim Granegeir Travor has always known who he is—a demon born from the deepest pits of hell, destined to rule in darkness. His existence is forged in fire, chaos, and torment, and he has never questioned his role in the grand design of the universe. But when he wakes up in a strange, peaceful place, everything he once understood about himself is called into question. The soft scent of heavenly flowers fills the air, and pure white walls greet him, not the smoldering flames of hell. He is lying on a comfy bed his body strangely at ease, and in front of him stands the one person who should never exist in his world: an angel. Her pure smile, her radiant eyes and her gentle touch stir something in him—a warmth he’s never felt before. But there’s one thing that comes to his mind with terrifying clarity: He shouldn’t be here. Kim has no idea how he ended up in this pristine place, but he’s certain he doesn’t belong in a heaven that feels both alien and suffocating. Everything about this world—the purity, the light, the love—feels like a prison to someone like him. For a demon born of darkness, love seems like a cruel illusion, something that can either destroy him or tear apart the world he’s known. As the angel’s unwavering kindness begins to break through his hardened shell, Kim is torn. Can pure love really change a soul as tainted as his? Or will the temptation of this angel’s affection pull him deeper into the abyss, forever condemning him to a fate he refuses to accept? But there’s more at stake than just his transformation. Heaven—a realm of peace and light—is in danger. Kim knows that if he doesn’t leave, the darkness inside him will eventually consume this place, turning it into something far worse than the fiery depths of hell. The struggle between love and darkness, between destiny and free will, could destroy everything he holds dear. Kim must choose: Will he become the fallen angel destined to wreak havoc on heaven? Or will he risk everything, including the love of the angel who believes in him, to defy his fate and keep heaven from becoming the very thing he left behind? The Demon's Lover is a tragic and passionate story of love, redemption, and the ultimate battle between light and dark. As Kim Granegeir Travor faces the consequences of his choices, he’ll discover that the greatest fight of all is not against the forces of the universe, but against the demons within himself.
