Ars Mushoku Tensei

It’s not everyday the universe needs saving, and it’s certainly not everyday someone like Ares is tasked to save it. Born with unique ‘destruction’ magic, Ares, a young man bursting with character (despite his propensity to annoy), has his work cut out for him as he, alongside five others with unique magic, must set out to prevent the end of all existence. Will he succeed? Or will his obsession with blowing things up simply speed up the process? Follow along in Ares’ adventures through bizarre worlds rife with magical mayhem, fierce fights, colourful characters, and plenty of perilous plots. This is an arc by arc fantasy romp that you probably won’t want to miss, regardless of whether you’re familiar with cultivation or not. All are welcome to witness Ares, ‘the wandering calamity’ himself, go on this long and exciting journey fraught with chaos… Even if he’s the one responsible for most of it.

Hikaru, an average salary-man and the epitome of a model Japanese husband, lives a monotonous life of work and responsibility. One evening, while dozing on the train ride home, fate takes a twisted turn. An accident shatters his mundane existence, and he wakes up to find himself in a completely different world… now in the body of a young man. Claiming an unusual skill called Internet Web Surfing, Hikaru discovers he can order anything from Earth, be it tools, food, or weapons, and have it delivered to this new world. Armed with this overpowered ability, he decides it's time for a fresh start. No more playing the obedient, goody-two-shoes husband. This is his second chance, and he’s going to seize it unapologetically. Unshackled from the rules and expectations of his previous life, Hikaru embarks on a hedonistic journey of pleasure and power. Not even strict doctrines, awkward surprises, or ancient taboos will stop him from indulging in his desires and conquering everything—and everyone—he sets his sights on. **** Amateur writer so please ignore my grammar. It's kind of like wish fulfillment, so MC will not be facing tense situation and betrays and stuff. There will be NTR but MC will be the one doing the did always. No questionable things, all normal 18+ kinks. I am a big believer in enjoyment on both sides, so the erotic scenes will never be one sided.

An exciting, steamy, story of love and blood shed, that will make you get lost in her world as she goes through life with the God of War. — “You’re mine now, Nike. Every part of you, belongs to me.” His large hand bracketed my throat and he pushed me harder against the wall. “Your lips, mine,” he pressed his mouth against mine. “Every inch of skin, mine,” he kissed me roughly again. “Every hair on that precious head of yours, is mine.” Now his kiss was softer, he moved our lips together slowly, and pushed his solid chest closer to me, as if it were possible. “Every moment your eyes roll back in pleasure, is mine. Do you understand, little wolf,” he was almost snarling, but it wasn’t mean. He was holding himself back, trailing kisses down my neck, to my already marked collar bone. Ares pulled my waist to his now, holding my leg around him. Every part of me wanted him, “yes, Ares.” He gave me a devilish smirk, his red eyes looking back and fourth at mine, “good.” My heart rate sped up, and I searched his eyes for any hint of his next move. He took a moment to push stray, strands of my hair behind my ear and over my shoulder. The realization of what he was doing hit me, and my breaths started becoming short, and fast. He placed a few more gentle kisses over my shoulder. His hand cupped my face, holding my jaw and he moved my head to the right. Before I knew what was happening a searing hot pain raked through me. Like I had fallen into a pool of boiling water, my claws extended and dug into his chest and bicep. He groaned, but it sounded more pleasurable than pain.

Thoth, in contrast, let out an exaggerated laugh. "That’s a first! Miserable, huh? That might explain why your Essence is crimson instead of golden. You might be the weakest challenger in the history of the Nine Realms." Arthur’s jaw tightened. "So not only am I at the bottom of the barrel, but I’ve set a new low? Fantastic."
