Kirito Deflects Bullets

As a girl, Olive loved fantasy. Reading it, writing it, building her world, making it a place she could wrap around herself. A world of bold knights, dashing princes, and cunning sorceresses, it spoke to her in a voice that soothed and excited her, all at once. It told her that a life could be more meaningful, more magical, than the one she was stuck with. As an adult, Olive loved money. Fantasies only last so long, and after her attempt at an epic flopped, she changed tack. Pursuing a career in marketing, she clawed her way up the corporate ladder, throwing off any poor fool that barred her way. But ambition paints a target. Just as she reached the top, becoming CMO of her agency, the bill came due. She never saw the flash, barely felt the bullet, but it ended her climb, right quick. If the curtain fell there, it would have been a fitting coda. A life ruthlessly lived, ruthlessly ended. Then she woke up. But not in the hospital, not at home. In a lush green countryside, by a familiar townscape, brine on the air... ...in the body of a pig girl?! The lowliest of the low, in all of her stories! With no status, magic, or even rights! She might as well be an NPC in a video game! Trapped in the world she wrote as a girl, she must cope with her new reality, leverage her dormant knowledge, and carve whatever path she can. But this world is not as she remembers it. Why is the bold knight such a brute? Why is the dashing prince a cruel princess? Why is the cunning sorceress a ruthless tyrant?! And why are truffles so addictive, all of a sudden?! At least two chapters a week!

“Jace,” she whispered breathlessly as he roughly pushed her to the wall. “I can't do this anymore,” she told him weakly. He looked her dead in the eyes and scoffed at my words, “Bluff,” he spat. His hand on her neck, squeezing it gruffly as he slammed his lips against hers. x x x In a world where loyalty is a luxury and love a liability, Gia Salvatore surrenders to a marriage of convenience with Alvan Martinelli, a ruthless and enigmatic powerhouse.

As the saying goes, "Hard times create strong men." It’s a phrase the Valorian nobles love to throw around, a shiny little motto they use to justify their oppression of the lower classes. Up there, near the sky, where the air is cleaner and the sun actually reaches, they live in their glittering towers, untouched by the rot that festers below. Down here, in the depths, it’s a different story. Rats gnaw on the corpses of those killed for a few dollars or maybe it was just a bar fight that went wrong, ending with one of the responsables with a bullet to the head. Who knows? Who cares? That’s just life at the lower levels. Brutal, ugly, and short. I’m one of the lucky ones, if you can call it that. Thanks to my aunt’s tireless efforts, I managed to claw my way into the Valorian Military Academy. Don’t let the fancy name fool you... it’s just a glorified cannon fodder factory. But hey, at least I get paid while I’m here, and that’s more than most lowlifes like me can say. Still, the question gnaws at me... Will I even live long enough to pay my aunt back for everything she’s done for me? Cadets like me are sent on patrols to "maintain order" in the lower districts, which is just a polite way of saying we’re thrown into the meat grinder. The mafias down here don’t care about uniforms or badges. They’ll kill you just for looking at them wrong. And today? Today’s my first time leading a small squad of cadets on patrol. We’ve been assigned to one of the "safest" areas in the lower districts... as if such a place even exists. The air is thick with the stench of decay, and the streets are lined with hollow-eyed faces that have seen too much and given up on hope. But that’s not even the worst part. No, the worst part is her.... This cheeto-headed girl!!

Being a contract killer is easy, if your good at it. Well that's what I would have said, if I was still an active one. Now I'm just some wandering gunslinger tryin to rid the world of evil and finding a purpose.

Now, that luck is fading, and the cost could be his soul." In Hollow's Bend, a town shrouded in fog, Elias Thorne is a man who ought to have died a long time ago. A drunkard, a gambler, a fighter, he lives life as if the world itself is inclined to his advantage. No blade has ever touched him, no bullet has ever struck true, and no tumble has ever left him broken. Luck, devil's bargain, people call it these things, but everybody agrees on one thing. Elias Thorne is untouchable. Or at least, he was. Whispers circulate of an amulet concealed under his shirt, a dirty, unpretentious necklace that vibrates with something inhuman. A gift? A curse? An obligation? Elias never bothered to inquire. Not until now. When a band of ruthless outsiders comes to Hollow's Bend, searching for the fabled charm, Elias is drawn into a game of death where his luck is no longer his own. They know what he holds. They know what it can do. And they know the secret he has denied for years… Luck isn't cheap. It's borrowed. And all debts have to be paid. Fleeing from merciless hunters and something much worse, a faceless, nameless collector who stalks in the mist and speaks in enigmas, Elias finds an unexpected friend in Selene, a woman with dark eyes and darker secrets. She is the only one who knows the amulet. Because she used to wear it. And she paid the price. Selene insists that there is only one exit: pass the curse on to another. Someone has to take it willingly, embracing the destiny that goes with it. It's the only way Elias can be free. But Elias has lived his life fighting, surviving, running from the inevitable. Now, he has to make the most brutal bet of all: his soul for another's. With each step, the shadows lengthen. The amulet is transforming him. The whispers are growing louder. Time is running short. And the Collector is arriving.

The heiress to a powerful tech company, Diane Lily Hoffman, had a tough childhood filled with lies and mistreatment. At 14, her cruel stepmother tricked her into thinking her father had sold her to his enemies. From there, the family who adopted her abused her physically and emotionally. Using her as a ploy to get rich, her adopted family forced her into what she thought was a loveless marriage with a plastic surgeon named Gabriel. Despite what she perceived as a lack of love, she found solace in her married life until her path was chosen for her again and lies were made to drive a wedge between her and Gabriel. The divorce was painful and she realised all too late that everything was not what it seemed. Unfortunately, the lies her family crafted were too much for Gabriel to ever give her a chance again. Just as she was about to die, Diane was given a second chance to fix her mistakes. Now reborn, Diane is ready to find her real father and ex-husband, seeking revenge on the family that betrayed her and taking back the life and justice she deserves. “Gabriel… what if it hurts? Will you still hold me close?” Diane’s voice trembled as she stepped back, gripping the edge of her shirt. “Diane, those scars tell your story, but I’ll rewrite the ending by erasing everything that’s been done to you.” Gabriel reached for her hand, and pulled her toward him. “With every cut, I promise to make sure that part of your past is gone.” “Bullets shot too soon; nobody can save me…” She shook her head, backing away, but he closed the distance, grasping her shoulders. “I promise, I’ll do everything to keep you safe, Diane.” He squeezed her shoulders gently. “No tears of yours will ever leave another trace.” “I wish I could have quit you, I wish I never missed you…” Her voice broke as she turned away, but he caught her wrist, spinning her back to face him. “If you die in this life, let me go too, so this time I can be right there with you.” Gabriel held her tight as if to shield her from the world’s pain. “It was my heart, it was my life, it was my start, it was your knife…”

Umm... So... let's get this straight. I'm living my beautifully normal life and your telling me that thing is an actual portal? It has monsters? I read novels, why haven't I heard of this monster before? Huh? You like me because I took a bullet for you when you were a toddler? Shitshitshit I can only throw fireballs......

Being the only human in a school full of supernatural beings is hard. But being fated to the son of the Alpha your father killed? That’s a death sentence. ******** Carnemore Academy was never meant for someone like Claire: the daughter of a head hunter who used to kill supernaturals in the past. But when the peace treaty between hunters and supernaturals start to crack, she’s sent straight to the heart of danger— a school where everyone hates her and wants her dead. No one despises her more than Zane Wolfe Ravenscroft, her mate and the son of the Alpha her father murdered. And then there’s Caius Valerius, a vampire prince who should hate her just as much, only he doesn’t. And Lorien Feyrune, the Fae prince with a shattered heart and dangerous obsession. As Claire navigates the dangers of Carnemore and her complex relationships, more secrets about her father is revealed. Now, she must choose. Duty or desire? Family or fate? Love or survival? Because in Carnemore, secrets are deadlier than silver bullets. And some bonds were never meant to be broken. ************* Claire barely had time to catch her breath before Zane was in front of her, his golden eyes locked onto hers like a predator closing in on its prey. “Why are you all over the place with Caius?” He asked. Claire crossed her arms, forcing herself to hold his gaze. “Because he’s my friend,” she said, though the moment the words left her lips, she saw the way Zane’s jaw tensed. “Friend?” He took a step closer, the space between them shrinking to nothing. She swallowed. “Why do you care?” His lips curled into something that wasn’t quite a smile. “You can’t have friends.” Claire’s breath hitched. “Why?” Zane leaned in, his voice a whisper against her skin. “Because you’re mine.” Her stomach flipped, her nails digging into her palms. “You rejected me,” she reminded him, her throat tightening around the words. “You didn’t want me, remember?” “That doesn’t change anything.” Her heart pounded. “It changes everything.” He reached up, brushing his fingers against her jaw, tilting her chin so she couldn’t look away. “You don’t get it, do you?” His voice was softer now, but no less dangerous. “You’re my toy, Claire.” His thumb grazed her bottom lip, sending a shiver down her spine. “And I’m the only one who gets to play with you.” ************ This book is rated 18+.

Colossals, Titans, and Demonic Beasts rule over a world where no weapon, no bullet, and no missile can pierce their nearly impenetrable hides. Ruthless, cunning, and more brutal than any human, these creatures brought humanity to the edge of extinction.

“Who are you? A dormant were wolf or a human?” His voice broke as he spoke. His eyes were silently pleading, anxiously waiting for the answer. Deep down, he knew it already. Yet, his stubborn heart refused to concede. The silence that followed was enough to escalate the hurt he felt in his heart from a dull throb, to burning glaring pain. The bullet wound he received a year ago hurt less than what he felt at that moment. “Here you go. It’s time to end this forever. Let’s make it fun while it lasts.” He handed her a shiny golden revolver. One look and she knew, neither could survive a shot between the eyes. There was only one bullet in the gun. Her hands shook as she tried to let go, as though it burnt at her skin. Kai didn’t let her. He won’t have any of it. This was his surrender. His eyes spoke words that his lips couldn’t. They were raw with emotions both familiar and foreign to her. Her own silver eyes filled with tears as she tried not to cry. “I choose to die by your hands. You are the only one with the right to take my life. Let’s begin!” He didn’t wait for her to process his words before helping her place the gun between his eyes, which never wavered from hers. Click! Click! Click! “Noooooooo!” She screamed as she dropped the gun. ************************************************************* DISCLAIMER!! Note that the chapters are not edited as of yet.

It was supposed to be his last day on the job. Unluckily for Killjoy, this crazed, cannibalistic beast tried to make it his last day on Earth. Killjoy had taken this god-forsaken mission for a little bit extra money before he would quit. He was tired. The middle-aged bounty hunter had etched his name across American mythos after decades of killing, gunslinging, and doing dirty work for one too many fat, greedy pigs. It was easy work, but the man can't get any older after years of doing it. And with a wife at home who he visited only so many times he could them on his one hand, and a daughter whose face he can barely remember year to year, it was time to hang up the boots. But when he is told about one job that could potentially set not only himself and his family for life, but for generations to come, Killjoy decides to screw it and do one last mission. The money he made was good, but not enough to last them. The reward? The deed to a gold mine. And the job? To investigate some desolate woods for missing people. It was as easy as they came. What a load of crap. The second Killjoy stepped foot into those forests, he knew something was not right. Desecrated bodies, the eerily empty mines and woods devoid of any light or humans, and the gnawing hunger that grew in him no matter how much he ate through his rations. Something was not right. And when Killjoy laid his eyes on it, he knew it was either fight or die.

Robert lived a normal life with somethings different. He had a job, wonderful friends, and a loving family. Though that didn't do much to stop a bullet.

Both, troubled by their darkness, brought together by fate at a party.

Set in a futuristic Earth of 2132, humanity coexists uneasily with a newly emerged species called the Sellardraxians. These humanoid beings possess unique, mythical abilities, and their existence stirs both awe and prejudice among humans. Meet Artemis 9 "Sean", a former supersoldier who had retired after his mistake led to the death of a teammate.

"Dead men don’t stay dead... unless they’re forgotten." Dominic "Dom" Ricci was a kingpin who ruled with an iron fist, his empire stretching across neon-lit streets and shadowed alleys. But betrayal cuts deeper than any bullet, and when his most trusted lieutenant, Vincent "Vinnie" Costa, turns on him, Dom’s kingdom collapses in a storm of blood and fire. Presumed dead. Erased. Finished. But kings don’t die easy. Emerging from the ashes, Dom is no longer the man he once was. Stripped of everything—his empire, his allies, even his humanity—he becomes something darker. A predator. With nothing left to lose, he begins his ruthless climb back to power, one dangerous move at a time. Old alliances fracture, new enemies rise, and every step forward could be his last. Vinnie, now sitting on Dom’s stolen throne, isn’t just holding the empire—he’s tightening the noose. The deeper Dom digs, the more he uncovers: secrets buried in the past, fragile loyalties, and the chilling truth that to reclaim his crown, he must become the monster he swore he’d never be. In this brutal game of betrayal and survival, trust is a liability, and power comes at a price. The streets run red, the shadows whisper, and in the Empire of Ashes, only the ruthless rise.

In a world where the unseen weaves fate and power is both a blessing and a curse, the awakened are called Phantoms—warriors bound to the spirits, their strength the only shield between humanity and annihilation. Long ago, when the Wraithborn first descended—eldritch horrors that slithered from the void beyond existence—humanity stood at the edge of ruin. The skies darkened, cities crumbled, and no blade nor bullet could harm these spectral abominations. Then came the First Call—whispers from the Spiritscape, a realm beyond mortal comprehension. Those who heard it awakened as phantoms, wielding power borrowed from spirits unseen, pushing back the darkness and carving the first fragile dawn of survival. But survival had a price. Phantoms became the weapons of the world. The Regency regulated the phantoms, dictating their purpose: to fight or be discarded. Yet among them stood the Crowned Phantoms, legends of their kind, those who had ascended beyond the ordinary, commanding the Spiritscape with unrivaled mastery. They were kings among warriors, epitomes of power, the history of the ones revered. Countless yearned to be crowned, to stand above all, to forge their names in eternity. Kael Veyne wanted none of it. Awakened at the age of three—far too young, far too dangerous—Kael understood what others refused to see. Power was not glory. Power was chained. The world loved its heroes when they won but discarded them the moment they failed. He watched as Phantoms bled, as the Regency dictated their lives, as those who sought greatness were crushed under the weight of expectation. So he made a choice. He hid. For years, he lived in the shadows, using his power only to protect himself, refusing to be another cog in the machine. He wanted a quiet life, a life that was his. But fate is never kind to those who defy it. A single moment—an unseen ripple in the fabric of destiny—threatens to unravel everything. The Wraithborn are changing stronger, and no longer bound by the laws that once held them back. The Spiritscape stirs, its whispers louder than ever. The Regency is watching. And in the depths of the unseen world, an ancient prophecy murmurs of an emperor who walks between realms, commanding the spirits themselves. Kael has spent his life running from the inevitable. But when the tide rises and the world begins to shift, when all eyes turn toward him—will he remain a ghost in the crowd… or will the Spirit Emperor rise?

Warren arrived at the hotel, his heart racing as he got to the roof. Panic seized him when he didn’t immediately see Anastasia. As he moved closer to the ledge, he finally spotted her—lying dangerously close to the edge, her body slack and seemingly on the brink of slipping into unconsciousness. The sight of the empty bottle of pills and whiskey shattered something inside him. “Oh, Ana,” he whispered, his voice thick with anguish as he approached her. But then, in a moment that seemed to stretch into eternity, he saw her body begin to roll off the edge. The horror that gripped him turned his blood to ice. Without a second thought, Warren launched himself over the ledge after her, diving headfirst through the night air. The wind roared in his ears, but he moved with the precision of a bullet, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat. When he finally caught her, relief surged through him. Cradling her tightly in his arms, he expanded his angelic wings, the pure white feathers cutting through the darkness as he propelled them upward, away from prying eyes. Outline: After the loss of her mother and the abuse she receives from her stepfamily, Anastasia finds herself living in a world where grief and betrayal are commonplace.

In a world where justice is a privilege of the powerful, a 14-year-old hacker dares to rewrite the rules. When Dr. Anaya Roy is brutally assaulted and murdered, the system fails her. The authorities dismiss the case, politicians deflect blame, and the protests are silenced. But one person refuses to let it go. Arjun, a cybersecurity prodigy from the slums of Delhi, watches in horror as the rapist walks free. Fueled by rage and disillusionment, he infiltrates government servers, exposing corruption at the highest levels. But his mission doesn’t end there. He issues an ultimatum: hand over the rapist, or he’ll unleash secrets that could bring the entire system crashing down. What follows is a high-stakes game of cat and mouse between a boy with nothing to lose and a government desperate to maintain control. As Arjun executes his own brand of justice, the world watches in awe and terror. Some call him a hero. Others call him a monster. As the walls close in, Arjun prepares for his final move—a revelation that will shake the nation to its core. But in a world where justice and revenge blur into one, can he truly escape the consequences of The Legal Crime?

Agent Dean Voight is leading the investigation. To catch her, he embeds himself into her life, earning her trust to expose the truth. But as their bond deepens, deception twists into desire—and the closer he gets, the deadlier the fallout. When secrets shatter, and bullets fly, only one will walk away.

WY is just an ordinary office worker trapped in the monotony of daily life—endless paperwork, a nagging boss, and parents who constantly criticize her love for mobile esports. Her only escape is Infinite Warzone, an intense battle game where she truly feels alive. One night, after a hard-fought ranked match, her screen flickers, and a mysterious message appears: “Congratulations. You have been selected for the Transcenders Project.” At first, she thinks it’s a prank or a virus. But when she presses “Accept,” her reality shatters. She awakens in a strange digital world—an elite battleground where players are tested beyond human limits. The reward? Supernatural abilities in the real world.

And the final challenge may demand more than just skill—it may cost her everything. Will WY master the game, unlock her full potential, and uncover the truth behind the project? Or will she become just another forgotten player in this high-stakes, digital war?
