Azuki Vs Lobo Estepario

Thousands of years ago, humankind left the Old World. We enter a new age where science and magic are no longer opposing concepts. With these new opportunities came danger in the form of the Dark Races and the ones that named themselves Gods. However, if there was one thing humans were good at was their ability to destroy. Humankind fought and carved a bloody path into the new world. Cain's luck had never been good, but his destiny changed forever once he decided to harden his heart and face the world without fear or hesitation. --Godslayer Humankind's motto.-- We can comprehend the supernatural. We can dominate the supernatural. We can kill the supernatural - Adam, Emperor of Godslayer Humankind, The First Titan. Current schedule: 21 chapters a week.

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] The Emperor’s runaway brides have formed a rebel group of scantily clad beauties trained in honey trap techniques. Delphi Chastain is their leader, a fiery beauty with a big axe to grind and a dream of freedom she’s willing to die for. EXTRACT: “Kiss me baby?” she said in her best babydoll voice. He didn’t have to be asked twice. Niko pinned her arms above her head and kissed her roughly with all of the force of the desire he was feeling. Three, two, one! she counted in her head. She bit his lip at the same time as she brought her knee up as hard as she could and kneed the man in the groin. “Ooaah,” he moaned. He fell sideways off her, clutching his balls. She leapt to her feet and sprinted off, picking up her belongings on the way past. “Thanks for saving me baby,” she called cheerily at him as she ran away. “Sorry about the crown jewels, but I’m not going back to the palace, so I don’t need them.” Post-WW3 there’s just the Island, and it’s ruled by the Emperor. It’s back to the good old days of polygamy and keeping women covered and chaperoned. The Emperor has raised Delphi and seven other gorgeous girls in the palace to join his harem, training and surgically enhancing them, like treats in a fantasy smorgasbord. But the girls escape and sail off the Island to the uninhabited Mainland, now overrun by mutant tubiàn beasts created as weapons during the War. Hot on their tails are the Emperor’s Honour Guard. Delphi leads the Girls over, under (^_-), and through the enemy, as they battle and tame beasts and men in their struggle to build an army to take down the Empire. Can the girls survive on their own on the Mainland and build a rebel army? Are there any trustworthy men, or are they all the same? Can the Guards resist the charms of the warrior girls? Do they want to? #enemiestolovers #sexywarrior #r18 #smut #post-apocalypse #war #action #fastpaced #scifi #betrayal #revenge #beast taming #battleofthesexes

[ADVERTENCIA: CONTENIDO EXTREMADAMENTE EXPLÍCITO] —Si vuelves a acercarte a mi mujer, te encontraré, te torturaré brutalmente y desataré la ira del infierno sobre ti por toda la eternidad. Su historia con él nunca debería haberse contado. Su mundo era tan cruel como astuto. Los hombres lobo sembraban el terror en los humanos como guerreros de la nación. Los vampiros gobernaban la alta sociedad con puño de hierro. Toda su vida, Ofelia se preguntó por qué los vampiros y hombres lobo del reino nunca la atacaron—hasta que se dio cuenta de que había sido declarada intocable hace diez años. Sin embargo, todo el reino luchaba por los derechos sobre su cuerpo—o su vida. Pero, ¿por qué? ¿Y para qué?

El Rey Eltanin, de ojos tormentosos y libertino, era dominante, arrogante y mandón como el infierno.

¿Dominación mundial? ¿Guerras santa-demoníaca? ¿ser el próximo héroe que salvará al mundo o el peor Rey Demonio que existirá en este mundo? ¡¡¿CÓMO SI ESAS COSAS ME IMPORTARAN?!!, ¡¡PRIMERO SOBREVIVIRÉ A SER UN LOBO!!. Con esa mentalidad, esté pequeño lobo se embarcó a vagar por el mundo en busca de los misterios de su reencarnación en este oscuro mundo.

After Stargaze Family executed his family, Noel Ardagan embarked on his journey, restoring his family name with the help of a System. "What? How the heck did she get it before me? The system told me that I'm the only one who knows about it!" Noel Ardagan cursed in anger, "That conniving murdering woman!" "At this point in time, only I should be aware about this tomb. But how did he find out about it?" Anna Stargaze, even after her reincarnation, couldn’t comprehend Noel's actions. The clash between of a person holding a system and a reincarnator who knows everything in the future is about to start.

“Não serei definida como uma ‘desviante sem lobo’ Não serei um peão nos ‘jogos que os Alfas jogam’ E me recuso a ser emparelhada com o estranho que irrompeu em minha vida e virou tudo de cabeça para baixo... Só que esse talvez seja o meu maior desafio até agora.” Essas foram as palavras que Lyla repetiu para si mesma enquanto deixava a gala anual de lobisomens, encharcada de seu suor e seus feromônios. Há apenas alguns dias, ela era uma adolescente feliz existindo no mundo humano – tentando passar pela faculdade e ir para longe, esquecer tudo o que vivenciou e começar a vida de novo, mas agora, ela está no meio da gala, estendida no chão com seus desejos expostos na cara de todos e o Alfa Ramsey Kincaid – o líder Lycan do Trono da Lua Branca estendendo as mãos em sua direção. Se ela aceitar, trará desonra para sua família porque ela não está em condições de se misturar com ninguém, quanto mais com o líder Lycan que estava fora de sua liga e se ela recusar, ela corre o risco de ser enviada à prisão da alcateia por não cuidar melhor de si mesma durante seu cio – sim, era um crime para ela estar sem um lobo. Mas quando ele a toca, algo dentro dela se agita... Desejos? Sim! Poderes ocultos pela deusa Lua? Sim! E talvez, apenas talvez, os sinais de seu lobo desaparecido cuja voz pode acalmar lobos ferozes e curar... Ela conseguirá confiar neste homem cuja boca diz uma coisa e suas mãos falam outra língua ou ela se tornará um peão – uma peça de xadrez nos jogos ‘que os Alfas jogam’? Uma coisa é certa: Lyla Woodlands estava farta de ser a pequena e suja ‘desviante sem lobo’ da alcateia. É hora desta maravilha sem lobo mostrar do que ela é feita. #Queima lenta #Antigas profecias esvoaçantes # Triângulo Amoroso - ML e melhor amigo da FL #Vilão apaixonado pela FL Participe do meu grupo no discord: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

How long can one ignore the voices in their head? Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost. The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him. ========================================= RANK UP CHALLENGE!

"What are you thinking about?" "I'm thinking about a guy." Jun Mo stopped in the middle of a deep kiss and sighed. His lips began to form a smile, but his fierce glare said otherwise. Possessiveness and jealousy spread across his sculpted face. "Will you tell me his name?" His easygoing and languid voice reached her ears. "Why?" "So that I can kill him."

There will always be a battle between two concepts that stay relatively the same throughout every story, life vs. death, light vs. darkness, evil vs. good, but they all fall under one category…Negativity and Positivity. In our minds that is all they are, just concepts. But…what if they were people? Beings that feel, can move, have emotions, and have their own story. Bundle up everything that those two concepts are and you can create two embodiments, one for each idea. Can we understand what they feel in our minds? No, we cannot, but here…they are honest and exist among us. We must watch, we must listen, as they become real in our hearts and minds, they deserve a spot in the light—the darkest abyss vs. the brightest stars.

Atlético de Arcana, an empire that seems perfect. With a powerful military, advanced magic, and abundant resources, it stands proudly in the eyes of the world. Yet behind its grandeur, the empire is riddled with corruption, collusion, and the selfishness of its officials. Amid this unseen decay, two individuals whose destinies diverge emerge unnoticed by anyone. Alicia, a reincarnated soul from another world, carries knowledge of the destruction that awaits the empire. And an elderly blacksmith, who has traveled back in time after witnessing the darkness born from a failed revolution in the future. Their goal is the same: to save the nation. But their paths are irreconcilable. Alicia, determined to topple the empire through a grand revolution, believes it is the only way to end the people's suffering. Meanwhile, the blacksmith, scarred by the future and burdened with regret, vows to prevent the revolution that would only bring greater devastation. As fate and time begin to clash, one pressing question arises: will the desire to save the world end up destroying it instead? “Revolution must happen. People have suffered enough.” “Revolution? What’s the point? It will only give birth to new darkness.” A battle of beliefs begins, with the empire’s future hanging in the balance.

Yu Qingyu had led a normal, unremarkable life. And without achieving anything, it was about to end, when at the age of 26, he was suddenly hit by a truck. He didn’t want to die! He hasn’t even found his true love yet! Or any love, in fact. Thankfully, not all hope was lost. As his soul was drifting in the void, a screen appeared in front of his eyes, enlightening the darkness. He was offered a contract by a system. All he needed to do was to transmigrate to different worlds and complete the missions, and once he accumulated enough points, the time would reverse and he would get another chance at life! How could he possibly refuse such an opportunity? And so his journey started. He completed one mission, and then another… Everything was going well. That is, until a villain whose downfall he caused got a system of his own…

In the late 19**, Lobo Dhib, an orphan from a forgotten and ancient land, embarks on a perilous quest for revenge. His life has been defined by suffering, each hardship traced back to a single, elusive figure who shattered his world. Consumed by vengeance, Lobo sets out to find this person, willing to risk everything to confront them. His search leads him to Arcadia, a sprawling city ruled by five powerful mafia syndicates, each more dangerous than the last. These criminal empires control not only the city’s underworld but also its most prized asset: mastery over one of the nine elemental powers. In this world, every human is born with the ability to control one element—fire, water, earth, wind, lightning, ice, metal, shadow, or light—but no one can wield more than one. Arcadia's Big Five use their elemental abilities to maintain control over the city, turning it into a dangerous battleground for anyone daring to oppose them. For Lobo, Arcadia is the final step in his journey for revenge. He knows that the person responsible for his suffering is hiding within one of the Big Five syndicates, pulling strings from the shadows. Each mafia group dominates a part of the city with their unique element, from the fiery aggression of the Scarlet Blades to the icy control of the Vero Cielo. Navigating these criminal empires is not just a test of survival, but a deadly game of strategy, where every step could either bring Lobo closer to his goal—or cost him his life. Lobo's mastery over his own element is the key to his survival, but in a city full of elemental powerhouses, it might not be enough. As he infiltrates the underworld, he must form alliances with those who may betray him and fight enemies far stronger than himself. Arcadia is a city of chaos, where the wrong move could end his life, but Lobo knows that the only way to find his target is to dive headfirst into this deadly game. His revenge may come at the cost of his life, but for Lobo Dhib, that’s a price worth paying.

Riley, on the other hand, is a believer, a spiritualist who's convinced of the existence of ghosts and spirits. Their worlds collide when they stumble upon a mysterious antique shop.
