Warning: R-18+ Reversed harem, Beastmen X Female Five years after the cosmic collision between Earth and Saturn, only a handful of women survived.

She abruptly rose from her underground nest when the cub on her belly became restless. She was in a very weak state, not only her incubation period was cut short but the shadow of her husband who should’ve been sustaining her with food and energy was nowhere to be found. “Is he caught up on hunting?” No. He wasn’t What welcomed her was a sordid sight of a familiar man banging a foreignfemale on all fours from behind in a bedroom she personally decorated. “Darling, ah!” “Fuck, I’m so glad I took you home that day. In these two years, with you around, my c*ck hasn’t been lonely.” Her husband had brought an earthling home while she was in isolation! Two years? He was cheating on her all along! “Nuru…?" she cried in disbelief. "You filthy bastard!” He wasn’t caught up in hunting. He caught up fucking an ecstatic female earthling! ---

In his first life, Alexander Valtor was the feared Duke of Valtor, of the Aurelio Empire, known as the empire’s most ruthless noble. Accused of murdering his own family for power,even though he denied it he was eventually betrayed and executed, his name forever stained in history. But death was not his end. Instead, he was reborn in a completely different world—Earth. Born as Arthur Lancaster in 1918, he grew up in the United Kingdom and joined the military as World War II erupted.

Leaving behind his noble title, he walks away from the empire, determined to live by his own rules. Yet as war looms on the horizon, his instincts as a soldier refuse to stay buried. The empire does not know it yet, but the man they once feared has returned—and this time, he fights on his own terms.

Ava Summers is the perfect daughter — business mogul, top of her class, future queen of spreadsheets, and the only Summers twin with functioning brain cells. She's survived nineteen years sharing a womb, a mansion, and half of her DNA with Eva Summers — the human embodiment of bad decisions who once tried to roast marshmallows on scented candles and nearly set the entire estate on fire. So when their parents arranged one of them to marry Zeke Ford — the kingdom's most notorious heartbreaker — Ava took one for the team. She didn't flinch. She didn't panic. She blinked once... probably because she was three glasses of wine deep after Eva spiked her drink and slid a suspicious contract under her nose — a contract that would transfer all of Ava's businesses and birthright to Eva if she refused to marry Zeke. It was the first plan Eva ever pulled off successfully — and she regretted it the moment the Fords switched the grooms at the last minute. Instead of waking up legally bound to Zeke — the charming, half-witted flirt who collects women like decorative throw pillows — Ava finds herself married to Zach Ford — the cold, brooding, emotionally constipated twin brother who hasn't smiled since the dinosaurs went extinct. The Ford family hoped Eva's lively personality would drag Zach out of his miserable cave of grief and bad attitude after his fiancée's death. Too bad they accidentally married him to the kingdom's most neurotic control freak instead. Now Ava has a whole lifetime to survive a forced marriage to a man who communicates in glances, grunts, and the occasional eyebrow twitch, convince everyone she's madly in love with her new husband... And figure out how to legally murder her sister without ruining the family name. The plan was supposed to save the Summers' reputation. Not burn the whole kingdom to the ground. "With This Ring, I Loathe You—Yes, I do." A laugh-out-loud enemies-to-lovers rom-com about one grumpy recluse, one reluctant perfectionist, and one contractual catastrophe that will either end in true love... Or arson with tax deductions.

It did not matter who you were. A noble’s blood, a scholar’s wisdom, a merchant’s wealth—none of it meant a damn thing inside the dungeons. Once you stepped beyond those gates, past the threshold where light faded and the unknown swallowed all, there was only one truth that mattered. The strong ruled. The weak perished. It did not matter if you were a prince or a beggar, a decorated warrior or a nameless fool. The dungeon did not care. It did not discriminate. It only tested, again and again, until your bones lay among the countless others who had thought themselves worthy. For most, dungeon diving was not a choice—it was survival. In this city of towering walls and endless ambition, men and women bled for the chance to carve their names into history. They fought for coin, for glory, for the slim chance of rising above their station. They fought because, in Dragnir, power was the only thing that truly mattered. Some dove for wealth, their eyes glimmering with the promise of fortune buried in the depths. Others sought fame, desperate for their names to be whispered in awe, their deeds recorded in legend. And then there were those who fought for power—not for riches, not for glory, but for strength itself. Because in the end, power was the only thing that meant anything. And so, they fought. Again and again, against monsters that never died, in dungeons that never emptied. They struggled, they endured, they bled, and still, the dungeons called for more. For some, the call was a curse. For others, a promise. But no matter the reason, no matter their fate—once they stepped inside, they belonged to the dungeon. And the dungeons… never let go. Right Dungeons, because it's not only one but Three of them with different kinds of hell to offer, will you dive?.

In the heart of the futuristic city of Singapore in the year 2462, Jagger Ashton and his family were enjoying the holiday festivities, mesmerized by the holographic Christmas decorations and the warm, vibrant atmosphere of Orchard Road. Without warning, the bright rays of the sun dimmed, and the air grew unnaturally cold, a stark contrast to Singapore's usual tropical warmth. Above them, a massive portal appeared, looming ominously in the sky. "What is that?" From the portal, monsters of all kinds—serpents, beasts, goblins, and dragons—began to fall. The streets turned into a chaotic battlefield, the monsters rampaging everywhere. Screams and cries permeated the air, blood splattering across the once pristine road. It was like hell on earth. "MOM! DAD!" Jagger screamed, his voice cracking with anguish and despair. [Congratulations, you are a hunter!] "I will kill them all!" he promised, the words a fierce oath as they left his lips, his soul burning with an inferno of hatred and vengeance.

(my fuel is readers support, please support me in this journey for wsa 2025 (⁠＾⁠∇⁠＾⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♪ will have regular update in next month and wont lock early) Silas knew that being born as an omega meant his life wouldn't have many choices—unless you came from a privileged family, where your trait didn't matter and you could live comfortably. When a baron adopted him, Silas saw a glimmer of hope and vowed to repay the man he called father. However, though it was better than life in the orphanage, Silas knew he would never truly belong to the family. He was groomed to obey, and his adoptive father planned to use him to expand connections with noble families. As he grew older, his father repeatedly offered him in marriage to the son of a grand duke, an alpha, only to be rejected every single time. Eventually, just before the grand duke's son left for military service, his father received an answer: the grand duke's son agreed to the connection—but only on the condition that Silas would be a consort. It wasn't uncommon for alphas to have multiple consorts, though it wasn't what Silas desired. Still, as an omega, this was the only way he could repay the baron's kindness. * Silas remembered what Alric was like back when they were at the academy. Cold, quiet, and someone who despised omegas. He knew what kind of fate awaited him and gave up on the kind of love he often read about in books. After all, real life wasn't the same as the fantasies penned by writers. Instead, Silas decided to prepare himself for decorating the "cage" he would live in—a life filled with the constant refrain of "at least, at least, at least." He would get used to it. He had to. But something felt different. Why was Alric treating him so differently now compared to the way he had back in school? Alric's eyes were filled with a tenderness and sorrow that Silas couldn't understand. It was the kind of look that made Silas want to hold him close. — (Read the info for more additions)

Title: Memory of My Past Life in Another World Writer: Md Noyon Shorkar Part: 1 I am Eren, just a normal high school student. Like every day, I was walking to school. As I was crossing the road, suddenly, a truck came rushing towards me and ran over me. Everything around me turned dark. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in a beautifully decorated hall. As I looked around, three people entered through the door—one was a young man, another was an old man, and the third was a young woman. Young Man: "Hello, I am Hades, the God of Lightning." Young Woman: "I am the Goddess of Earth." Old Man: "And I am the God of Time." Me: "Why am I here?" God of Lightning: "As far as I know, I was supposed to die, right?" "You are dead. Normally, when someone dies, their soul moves on to the Underworld. But we have brought your soul here." Me: "Why?" God of Lightning: "Because we have decided to reincarnate you into another world. However, there are some conditions, which we will inform you about later. Are you ready?" Me: "Yes, but I need some information about that world." God of Lightning: "You will receive that knowledge at the right time." Suddenly, everything around me turned white. And then… --- If you want any refinements or changes, let me know!

Arrogant. Manipulative. Worthless. Despite all the numerous qualities that work for him, he’s still worthless because he had no talent. No saying this would be a lie, because he, in fact, did have talent: talent of will - an indomitable will; talent of the mind - quick-witted and cunning. Still, even with these talents that he made on his own, rejecting destiny, he couldn’t do anything else. In order for ‘fate’ to be at ease, it put him on the battlefield - sure of his death. Forced onto the battlefield and using his cultivated talents, he earned the title of ‘Reaper’, bringing death to all who approached. He was the most decorated soldier to ever be; however, he lost his value. The talent he worked for, which gave him value, was now used as there was no war to fight. Now in the street of men and women, he walked the path of a beggar….drunkard. Somehow, seducing women and harboring their hate after. Unbeknownst to him, during his now routine course of harboring a woman’s hate, he received an opportunity that only the luckiest would receive. He received the True God Emperor System, something fate denied him - but the planes willed. Lacking nothing, wanting nothing is how he shall live from this day forth.

A high ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings and fanciful decor. A warm golden light passing through stained glass highlighting the beauty of justice and righteous valour- a contrast to the maleficent beings that would often face this light- illuminates the room. Upon a raised dais, there is a displeased king, and by his side, stern-faced nobles and court officials stare down menacingly at the accused. Below these extinguished figures, bounded by chains and covered in grime, was a six-year-old girl. "Ixion Akastos Vespera" "In the presence of our sovereign King and the noble dukes of this great nation, you are summoned to answer for the grave crimes alleged against you. The entire house of Vespera, your family and lineage, has been wrongfully slain by a treacherous prisoner of theirs. We have reason to believe you have conspired with the ungrateful fiend, betraying your own blood and committing treason against our liege. How do you answer? Are you guilty or not guilty of this heinous crime?" "Not guilty." "Not guilty? Very well. You shall-" "I killed them myself. Not the dragon, only I." Murmurs erupted among the usually unperturbed high-class nobles. "Is it not according to law that a bloodline inheritor may kill all other potential heirs? As for my unfortunate mother, she was merely an unintended mishap." °°° Alexandra Chase, among a million others, found herself in a deadly game orchestrated by a supreme goddess to gain access to another world. Unfortunately, her life in this new world won't be any softer than the one before it. Her drive is not only to survive but also to supersede those beings who stand above. The goddess's schemes are far deeper than she could imagine. She is granted talent, unlimited potential, and terrifying attunement to the world itself with her new body, but many geniuses die young. Her most capable weapon is a concept many have yet to fathom- her soul.

"I never knew you were such a cowardly man," she began, her tone sharp and biting, her chin raised in defiance. "Too weak to break the news to me yourself. How pathetic." "It isn't like that," Ezekiel protested, stepping closer. "I have my reasons." "Reasons?" she snapped, pulling her hands away as he tried to hold them. Her glare hardened, a look of disgust flashing across her face. "My lady," he began, his voice thick with longing as his green eyes searched hers for any trace of understanding. Tentatively, he lifted a hand toward her face, only to let it fall back to his side. "I thought you, of all people, would understand me. Hear me out. This is what is expected of me—what I must do to secure my title. I—" "How is that any of my concern?" she interrupted, her voice like a whip, cold and unforgiving. "Do you expect me to be swayed by your empty words? Your honeyed excuses? I won't be moved by this pathetic display." "Can you just listen to me?" he snapped, his voice hardening in frustration. "Listen to what?" she shot back, venom dripping from her tone. "Your pathetic moaning and excuses? You've made a mockery of me, Ezekiel. You humiliated me—used me as nothing more than a bauble to decorate your arm before discarding me like trash. You are pathetic." "Eris," he growled, his once affectionate green eyes now shadowed with an eerie red. "I am still Duke Loxley, and I will not tolerate this tone from you. Know your place." She flinched at the harshness of his words but held her ground. "Sienna is a necessity," he continued, stepping closer to her. "I have to marry her to secure my title, but my affection—my care—it remains with you. I love you, Eris." The confession hung heavily in the air, but she did not falter. Instead, she took a deliberate step back, curtsying with practiced grace. "Apologies, Your Grace," she said, her voice detached and cold. "This mere human seems to have forgotten her place and overstepped. I will ensure it never happens again." "Eris..." He reached for her, desperation seeping into his voice, but she pulled away, her movements deliberate and precise. "Please excuse me. I will be taking my leave," she said, turning on her heel and walking away without a second glance.
