Forsaken Lands Bug Fables

Elara Raventhorn was meant to be a Luna in a world where power controls fate—until the very pack she vowed allegiance to betrayed her. Her mate abandoned her, branding her a traitor, and exiled her, leaving her to die alone. Elara, though, refuses to be a lost artifact from the past. Hardened by suffering, driven by revenge, and resolved to recover the life snatched from her, she survives. Years later, rumors of a renegade Alpha emerge—a force of nature unbounded by pack rules, unchangeable. Elara is no longer abandoned by Luna. She is the hunter. But destiny is nasty. Battle breaks out between competing packs, forcing Elara to return to the society she left behind. Now, the one man she promised to kill—Kieran Stormbane, the Alpha who sent her away—is her lone ally against a worse evil. But the struggle for supremacy is personal as much as political. With old foes closing in and a terrible prophecy waking, Elara must negotiate a perilous road between power and love—between revenge and atonement. Something sinister resides in the shadows, a force threatening not only the packs but the whole supernatural universe. And ultimately the only one powerful enough to stop it could be the abandoned Luna. Once a beloved Luna battles to recover her place and her power, betrayal and redemption: enemies-to-reluctant alliance-to-lover. There was a close relationship between the former Luna and her once-rejecting Alpha. War and Power Struggles: Packs split, alliances fall apart, and the strongest must ascend. Dark secrets and prophecy: a history buried yet holding the key to the future. Even if it takes burning the planet down, Haunted Luna is a riveting story of survival, retribution, and an unwavering heroine who will battle for freedom.

Born into the illustrious House of Everdawn, the most powerful noble bloodline in Astrava, Ren Everdawn had everything—wealth, power, and the promise of greatness. With the legendary Nexus core running through his veins, the world awaited his awakening, expecting nothing less than a Celestial or even an Omniforge Aethermark. But when his moment finally arrived, the impossible happened. He awakened with a mere dormant-grade Aethermark. Mocked by his family, rejected by the nobility, and cast aside as a failure, Ren's perfect life crumbled overnight. Yet, unbeknownst to everyone, he harbored a secret that no one could fathom: the power to evolve Aethermarks.

"Let's divorce. I'm finally letting you go," she said with scarce emotion on her lovely face. Seeing her resolve, he felt heaviness in his heart. His face darkened, clenching his jaw. "You can't leave me. You are bound to me for eternity." He forcibly grabbed her, pinning her on the wall, his hands started caressing her sensitive spots. "And your body... doesn't LIE," he whispered sensually, lips gently nibbling on her earlobe. Her breath hitched, her heartbeat racing.  Seeing her struggle to resist him, he smirked triumphantly. "You yearn for my touch and my kiss. You also desire me." The next thing she felt was his lips roughly brushing against hers in a hungry kiss. **** Neglected by the King Enslaved by the Queen Bullied by her royal siblings Hated by The Kingdom's Hero Ostracized by her own people EVE HAD ENOUGH!

A single, towering city rises from a vast, lifeless wasteland—a remnant of an ancient war that shattered the world. The Spire is surrounded by a powerful storm barrier, keeping the horrors outside at bay. It is said that beyond the storm, the land is overrun by Wraithborn—once-humans mutated into relentless, armored behemoths that feed on the energy of the living. The city's elite defenders, known as the Stormguard, wear specialized gauntlets that allow them to channel the energy of the storm itself, generating electrical blades and explosive force to combat the Wraithborn. Their training is brutal, as only those who can withstand the gauntlet’s power without being consumed by it survive. When a young Stormguard recruit uncovers an ancient map hinting at a second, hidden city beyond the storm, everything they thought they knew about their world is thrown into question. Are they truly the last survivors? Or has the Spire’s ruling council been keeping a terrible secret for generations?

In a world where the gods once ruled but have long vanished, every human awakens a Divine System at the age of 16. These systems range from mighty warrior paths to mysterious support abilities. But there is one unspoken truth—some are born Forsaken, individuals who fail to awaken any system and are doomed to live as weaklings. Ezekiel Vance was one such Forsaken. Mocked, outcast, and left to die in the outer wastelands, he should have perished. But on the night of his execution, he awakened something beyond the gods' control—The Sovereign’s Paradox, a forbidden power that allows him to devour systems, rewriting reality itself. As he unravels the dark history of the Divine Systems, Ezekiel discovers that the gods didn’t vanish—they were sealed away. And he alone holds the key to their return. But should he free them… or ensure they remain buried forever?

A gripping horror-thriller where nightmares take form and the past refuses to stay buried—Shadows of the Forsaken will haunt you long after you turn the final page.

I closed my eyes and let out a long, shuddering breath. The needle slipped through my numb fingers and clattered onto the rough pavement. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. No one would miss me, and if any did...? Well, there was always someone else to beat or rape. They'd move on quickly. But then...gods? Since when did nothingness have so many gods? Chosen by the goddess of Fate, I'm thrust into a world of magic and wonder alongside nine other heroes. A world where the gods reign supreme, and evil is vanquished before it can spread its blight. Can such a place truly exist? Could life really be worth living? I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows, but my life has been nothing but darkness. Perhaps this new world will be the chance I need to find the light, to see the other side.

“I won't divorce you, Melissa. Until your last breath, you will live with me in this nameless marriage,” Radulf declared. Melissa Rosetta, the illegitimate daughter of the Alpha King and an omega servant, had no choice but to comply with her father's demand― marry Radulf De Lagrange, the fallen Alpha of the once-powerful Shadow Hunter Pack. Despite being the strongest dominant alpha, Radulf's influence and power crumbled when his father was accused of treason against the crown. As for Radulf's punishment? He was forced to marry a weak, wolf-less omega, who he had nothing but disdain for. To top it off, he was sent to the Western Frontier on his wedding day. Melissa eagerly awaited Radulf's return as she suffered through ridicule, believing that when he did, he would be happy to see how mighty his pack had become under her care. However, after four years, Radulf returned with a beautiful woman, shattering Melissa's heart. "You betrayed me while I stayed loyal to you. I don't want to live with you and watch your affair with another woman. Divorce me, Radulf, and free me from this marriage. If you don't wish to do that, then mark me,” Melissa demanded on the day of his return. “Divorce you, Feisty Princess? Never! If you want to get marked, then beg me or seduce me to do so,” Radulf challenged. On the day of his rut, he said, “Melissa, my mate, allow me to mark you.” ~~~~ Special thanks to my editor for refining the synopsis.

The world fell to monsters. For 60 years, dungeons appeared across the globe, bringing creatures that defied human understanding. At first, humanity was powerless—bullets could not pierce their skin, explosives could not burn their hide. But soon, certain individuals awakened supernatural abilities, their powers came with a mysterious status screen. These warriors, later called Hunters, fought back, pushing the monsters into the depths of dungeons. But humanity’s greed was its downfall. They allowed dungeons to persist, harvesting their resources instead of eliminating them. Then, one day, all uncleared dungeons erupted at once. The world burned. Billions perished. The last remnants of humanity fled, forming a final stronghold in America under an impenetrable barrier. Yet even that was not enough. The end came when an overwhelming entity—a self-proclaimed God—descended upon the ruined Earth. Ray, a 67-year-old man, humanity’s third strongest Hunter, stood among the corpses of his fallen comrades. He had lost everything—his family, his friends, his home. Even Daniel, the only SS-rank Hunter, could not stand against this new enemy. With his dying breath, Ray cursed his own weakness. If only he had been faster. If only he had been stronger. And then, the Eye of [???] activated. Now, Ray is back. A seven-year-old child in a world untouched by dungeons. Three months remain before the first dungeon appears. This time, he will not wait. He will not hesitate. With his sword in hand and the power of the Dark Lands, he will carve a new path. A path where humanity does not fall. And... A path where he will cut down that red-haired freak. --- The book cover does not belong to me. I borrowed it from Google, typing, "Katana boy" in search.

Amid the ruins of a civilization that has lost faith in itself, he delves into the profound meaning of what it is to be human. What memories shape our souls? Who are we without them? What gives purpose to our existence when everything seems to collapse? And how far are we willing to go to reclaim those we have lost?

For even in the deepest darkness, a glimmer endures—for those brave enough to seek it. A journey whose ultimate goal is the light.

A note to all developers: when you open your virtual reality MMORPG up to beta testers, make sure to test the logout feature. And if their headsets have a tendency to spontaneously combust when their characters die, maybe call the manufacturing company before slipping one on yourself. When Cody accidentally traps thousands of people in his video game, things quickly start to get out of hand. And the worst part? He's stuck in there with them. Sentient NPCs, overpowered bosses, and deadly glitches are just a few of the obstacles he'll have to face if he wants to get them (and himself) through his bug-infested world alive. Cody may not be the hero of this story, but he's determined not to be the villain. The only question is: do the players even want to be saved?

It’s 2100, and Vincent Carter – Ying – is a twenty-year-old virgin with a penchant for profanity, he has but three guiding principles: “In a world where honour and valour seem like unaffordable luxuries, cowardice remains the pragmatist’s ultimate virtue. Spinelessness isn’t shameful, it’s simply self-preservative romance.” “Doubt is unironically the cheapest superpower a person can have, after all if it’s human, it’s probably plotting something. And if it’s plotting something, it’s probably hiding something. And if it’s hiding something… well, you get the idea. So question everything, one sceptical step at a time.” And lastly, “Muscle heads – because who needs brains when you can just flex your way through life? Couldn’t be me, I’ll tell you that much.” Armed with nothing but these… questionable (?) values, as well as experiences shaped by a hellish life in the slums, Ying dives headfirst into the latest VR sensation – Cultivation Climax, a world brimming with great magic, ancient mysteries, and blood-curdling conspiracies just waiting to be unravelled. However, because Ying’s life is just that kind of special, he is greeted with a rather ‘lovely’ surprise upon opening his eyes to the new world… Ding! [Your misfortune is truly astounding!] [You have awakened the absolute WORST talent for Cultivation!] ‘…’ “…W-what?!” Yes, what indeed.

His voice was low, almost a growl, but there was a hint of something else beneath — something that made her heart skip a beat. She swallowed hard, her throat dry. The question hung in the air between them, heavy and tangible. "I… I don't know," She finally answered, her voice barely above a whisper. His lips curled into a smirk, a slow, dangerous smile that sent shivers down her spine. "Liar" he murmured, his voice a deep rumble that vibrated through her. "You want this. You want me." She opened her mouth to protest, to deny it, but he didn't give her a chance. His hand shot out, gripping her chin roughly, forcing her to look up at him. "Do you want me to prove it?" He asked, his voice dripping with challenge. ~+~ Tags: #Revenge #Strongfemalelead, #norape, #reincarnation, #Fakeidentity, #EdwardianEra, #VampireRomance #Smut #Supernaturalpowers #magic #darkfantasy #long-distance pining (The main characters are aware of each other's feelings but can't be physically be together yet.

His strides are long and confident, heading in my direction like he knows exactly what he wants. He stops before me, and my head tips back. "How is that possible?" His voice drops to a rumbling whisper. Now that he was close to me, the burning ache deep within started to throb and palpitate. His body tensed, and then he was on me, nose against my neck, inhaling deeply, one hand on the side of my hair, pinning me in place with his hips. My head tilts back, unable to stop myself from giving into his touch, exposing my neck more to him, his chest rumbling as he licks the side of my skin, kissing and nipping, placing his scent over me.

"You're not finished yet," his voice is thick and deep, and it shoots straight to my tingling, pulsing core. His touch is almost possessive, and I nearly beg him to do whatever he wants with me.
