Warzone Raul Menendez

Luna's life shatters with a single, whispered truth: her father was a werewolf. Seventeen-year-old Luna, a struggling student haunted by her mother's deathbed confession, discovers she's the illegitimate daughter of Damien Whitestone, the powerful CEO of MG Company—and a formidable Alpha. Driven by a desperate need to escape her crushing debt and a burning desire to uncover her hidden heritage, Luna infiltrates MG Company as a cleaner, stepping into a world of corporate wolves and primal instincts. But MG Company is more than just a tech empire; it's the heart of the Silverclaw Covenant, a powerful werewolf clan with a strict hierarchy and ancient traditions. As Luna navigates the treacherous waters of corporate intrigue, she encounters the enigmatic Kael and Raul, Damien's adopted sons, the rising force within the Covenant. Their paths collide in a whirlwind of suspicion and forbidden attraction, as Kael suspects Luna's human nature, and Luna desperately seeks her place. When Luna's true identity is revealed, she finds herself not welcomed, but challenged. The Alpha position, and with it, control of MG Company, is up for grabs, and Luna must prove her worth in the ancient "Crimson Moon Trials." With enemies lurking within the company's polished corridors and the dangerous trials ahead, Luna must embrace her newfound heritage and fight for her right to claim the Alpha title. But as she delves deeper into the Covenant's secrets, she uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear both the werewolf world and her forbidden love apart. In a city where power is the ultimate currency, Luna must decide: will she claim her legacy or choose to remain a secret?

Kim Jun has always played the role of the goofy, weak schoolboy, hiding his true identity as the former leader of Shadow Viper—a notorious delinquent gang that once ruled the streets. After leaving that life behind, all he wanted was a peaceful existence. But when he hears that his twin sister is being bullied, he transfers to her school, only to find himself in the middle of a warzone. The school is overrun by violence, controlled by Big Dragon, a ruthless delinquent gang led by the enigmatic Yi Jun. Students fight for survival, and corruption spreads through every hallway. At first, Kim Jun tries to keep his head down, making friends with San Ha Kang and Yun Do Park—one genius and one troublemaker with good hearts. But as the chaos escalates, his past instincts refuse to stay buried. When he finally clashes with Yi Jun, he realizes he can no longer remain in the shadows. Can he protect his sister and friends without revealing his past? Or will the former King of Delinquents be forced to reclaim his throne?

Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them. Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death. As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely. In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

2:30 AM GMT--- Every MONDAY, WEDNESDAY, SATURDAY ____________________________________ In a world where science and magic coexist, Raul is reincarnated from his past life as Rael, a miner who died in a tragic car accident. Armed with extraordinary skills, Raul must navigate this new realm where powerful beings known as Hunters battle magical creatures emerging from a dimensional gate. But why was Raul chosen for this new life? How far do his abilities stretch? And is there even a limit to his potential?

In the vast universe teeming with planetary kingdoms, scattered colonies aligned with these realms, and enigmatic nations on select worlds, emerges Hopeful, a living tank propelled by visions of valor and an insatiable longing for love. His odyssey unfolds amidst a tapestry of interplanetary strife over vital resources and the looming specter of insurrection. Hopeful finds his fate intertwined with Lowna. Standing alone in Nova, he receives support from Higna, a kingdom built in the form of a warzone. This is the saga of his relentless pursuit to fulfill his destiny, dispel ignorance along his path, and protect nature from evil influences.

The world changed when the Abyss Gates emerged. Monstrous creatures began to pour out, and with them, the first hunters awakened, receiving special abilities known as Destinies. For hunters, strength means everything. Those with powerful Destinies dominate the guilds and the government, while the weak are discarded like trash. Kairo Ren was supposed to awaken with a Destiny like everyone else. But when the message appeared before his eyes, something was wrong. [ ERROR: DESTINY NOT ASSIGNED ] [ INITIATING EMERGENCY PROTOCOL ] [ ACTIVATING SYSTEM "ABYSS" ] Without a Destiny of his own, Kairo receives a different system. He can’t evolve like other hunters. He can’t level up or gain skills. But there’s one thing he can do… steal the Destinies of others. Now, hunters have become his prey. Powerful guilds are hunting him. And the system that chose him might be far more than just a tool. Welcome to the Abyss.

A group of high school friends in New York unknowingly enter a terrifying nightmare game controlled by ancient, god-like entities called the Archons. Each time they sleep, they wake up inside a twisted, shifting version of reality, one resembling a nightmarish video game.

The only way to survive is to use clues they gather from their nightmares to stop the horrors from fully taking over the real world.

This is the story of two people who once shared a past. Now, they are forced to work together for their own interests. Starley Bellamy is a free-spirited hacker. And Raul Blackwell owns Chicago's most prominent private spy agency. Until one day, Starley's identity as a hacker is exposed, her family is framed, and her parents are detained. That's when Raul reappears in Starley's life, offering a collaboration. Starley, who once loved Raul, reluctantly accepts the offer to save her parents. Their previous relationship was complicated; they were just friends with benefits. Because of this, they have to meet often. Will they become more than just friends with benefits this time? They will face obstacles, trials, and the hidden truths that have been kept from them all along. A romance, action, and mystery story where every wrong move could cost them their lives. ……………………………… "Why do we have to be like this?" Raul suddenly asked. Starley glared at Raul with sharp eyes. "What do you mean? I don't understand," Starley replied coldly. Then, she quickly broke eye contact with Raul's dark eyes. "You know what I mean, cupcake," Raul said in a low voice. Starley tried to look unaffected by Raul's nickname, even though her heart was beating much faster than usual. "No, I don’t understand." Starley flinched slightly when she felt Raul’s warm hand on her elbow. It was like he was holding her back from running away again. Finally, Starley looked back at Raul with a neutral expression. "Mr. Blackwell, I’ve told you, I have a boyfriend," Starley replied. She was lying; she didn’t have a boyfriend. But she had to say it to push Raul away. Otherwise, she knew her defenses would crumble at any moment. Raul squinted his eyes and said, "Then where is your boyfriend? I’ve never seen him." "He’s out of town," Starley replied. Raul raised an eyebrow and smirked. "So, you’re in a long-distance relationship?" Raul asked, walking closer to Starley. Starley didn’t back down. She lifted her chin and stared at Raul, "Do you have a problem with that?" This time, Raul’s smirk resembled a devilishly handsome smile, "Oh no, that’s actually good news, isn’t it?" Starley narrowed her eyes and said, "You already know, you and I can never happen again." "As long as he’s not your husband, I think anything is possible, cupcake." Starley knew Raul didn’t mean it that way. All their history would repeat itself. We were not meant to be together, Starley thought. "Don’t you hate me?" Starley suddenly asked. After the question left her lips, Raul’s face tensed, and he released his grip on Starley’s elbow. Raul’s gaze now was darker than usual as he replied, "Yes, and you hate me too." Starley didn’t answer because Raul already knew the answer. There was a brief silence before Raul spoke again. "But you know, there’s a fine line between love and hate. And both make you unable to stop thinking about me, Starley," Raul whispered. Starley held her breath. After all this time, she had kept her distance; why now did she have to work with this dangerous man? Dangerous for her heart.

Meet Jayden, your average middle schooler—if by "average" you mean someone who hears voices in his head, has uncontrolled psychic abilities, and is constantly on the run from people he can't see. Life was going fine, you know, just the typical teen drama—until Jayden learned he wasn’t as normal as he thought. One minute, he's having class learning long division, trying to make it through the school day, and the next, he’s got invisible men hunting him down for reasons he doesn’t understand. Sure, that’s a Tuesday for some, but for Jayden, it’s just the beginning of a very weird, and very dangerous, journey. Apparently, these men aren’t fans of Jayden's newfound powers. And in the midst of all this, Anna—his so-called friend—has some questionable motives of her own, leading to a betrayal that throws Jayden into a storm of chaos he didn’t ask for. Enter the mysterious man—let’s call him the guy with a plan. This man swoops in like some kind of mysterious mentor figure who sees potential in Jayden (don’t worry, he’s not here to make him a superhero—far from it). No, this guy sees a lot of raw, untapped psychic chaos and decides to take Jayden under his wing. It’s all very sinister and very confusing, but Jayden doesn’t have time to process it because he's suddenly plucked out of his life, thrown onto a private jet, and given an offer: join the fight, or become a pawn in a game he doesn't understand. And just when Jayden thinks he’s reached rock bottom, he’s introduced to Nadya—one part pilot, one part “I’ll break you if you don’t get your act together” drill sergeant. She’s assigned to “train” Jayden, but don’t get too excited—she’s not exactly on the whole “let’s make him a hero” bandwagon. No, she’s got her own issues, and they’re all written in sharp, Russian-accented sarcasm. The good news? She’s tough. The bad news? Jayden’s about to get thrown into a warzone. Because what’s the best way to “train” someone with uncontrollable psychic powers? Send them into an international conflict, obviously. So, what’s a guy like Jayden supposed to do when he’s got powers, a bunch of shady people telling him what to do, and absolutely no clue who to trust? He can either lean into the darkness and become a villain, or... well, become a hero. Maybe. It’s not looking great for him, though. But here’s the kicker—he didn’t ask for this. In fact, Jayden would much rather go back to his old life of trying to avoid attention, and definitely not end up in some high-stakes international conspiracy. But since life doesn’t care about your plans, Jayden’s about to dive into something far bigger than himself. And it’s going to be explosive—literally. Will Jayden succumb to the chaos? Will he learn how to control his powers? Or will he burn it all down and go down in a blaze of psychic glory? You'll have to stick around to find out. Spoiler: There’s a lot of unpredictable in his future. And honestly? That’s just how he likes it.

“Shut up!” He roared, as he tore my slave garment from my body in less than a second, leaving my body bare, except for my bra and panties. “Oh my…” He muttered devilishly with lust filled eyes, as he roughly grabbed the right cup of my bra, manhandling it as if to get a pre-feel of how the main softness will feel like. I had given up already, tired of writhing on the floor, tired of trying to wiggle out of his hold, and tired of pleading. What was the use? My legs were already held hostage in the confines of his own limbs, my throat was now sore, and all my plea fell on deaf ears. I shut my eyes tightly, already welcoming my cursed fate, when suddenly the door burst ajar. Who could that be? A savior or another foe? I opened up my eyes, already glazy with tears, and peered at the visitor. He was a man. A beautiful man. A beautiful, angry man. I couldn’t tell distinctively his facial features because of my tear clothed eyes, but even as I laid as dead underneath my assailant, I could feel his rage rolling over him like waves. “Who dares to interrupt my pleasure time? My assailant asked, about to turn his head way back to see who had been standing by the door, when suddenly, in a twinkle of an eye, his head went off flying from his neck, to the ground idly. And so, I screamed; especially as I felt his blood splatter all over my chest and face. But in my screaming and shocked state, I was still able to hear the first words of the man since he had stepped into the room. “How dare you to touch my mate?” He roared. ***** Olivera, the only wolfless girl in the Red Moon’s Pack was captured alongside her best friend by the deadliest pack in the entire region.

Lian stared at her little brother's scared expression, not knowing what else to do she pulled him close and obscured him from the view of everyone else in the room.

Eleonora Von Berg, the pampered heir to Von Berg Winery. The chic, beautiful, and talented architect. She challenged her life as much as she could, only for the thrill of it.

"Raul, please...", her eyes brimming with tears, she manages to choke out. "You're hurting me..." But he wouldn't listen. He cupped her cheek roughly tilting her head to look at him. "All of it... All of it has no fucking meaning if I lost you." His eyes were wild and bloodshot. But he wasn't easing his grip on her waist. Eleonora stared back at his pleading eyes. As he wiped her tears, she cupped his face, connecting their foreheads. "No Raul, I need you. The baby needs you. I can't lose you..."
