Why Yamato Won T Join The Straw Hats

They Who Hide Under Top Hats

The City of Hatlynshire is ruled by two opposing forces.

The story follows the perspectives of multiple lead characters. Baron Henry Demon, the wealthy head of one of Hatlynshire's nine Boroughs, who grapples with the death of the man he had idolized all his life and the weight of the mounting pressure as the Circle heads towards a deadly war with their sworn enemy. Tensions which are worsened by internal disputes brought upon by a missing heir and a secretive insurgent who plots to rise up against the Barons and change the Circle from within. Lucian Demon, Henry's son and reluctant heir who deals with the issues and self-doubt created by expectations he was born to fulfill. As his dreaded Initiation Ceremony comes closer his worries are increased by the news of the Circle's conflict and a mysterious oncoming threat that would lead to the demise of him and everyone he loves. So he must work with both his family and his friends to uncover the secrets of their parents and hopefully survive whatever doom that's coming to the House at No 9, Allison Street. Anna Dawton, a common girl living in a secret Hamlet for Circulions in a Borough of theaters and drama, who deals with the threat of her home becoming a battleground when war arises after the seat of Everton is left empty in the wake of a car bombing.

With her friends and family she attempts to survive the Hunters sent to kill her and her people while also trying to uncover the lies and secrets of the man in charge of her home. As this story unfolds, mysteries begin to reveal themselves. The treachery of an insurgent bent on justice for old sins, the plans of the dictator Timothy Montgomery and the Order of Man. The millennia long prophecies of eldritch gods and peoples long forgotten. And the many mysteries of a vengeful Baron and his broken House. All this comes together in a conflict that will shake the City of Hatlynshire to its core. The King sits upon his Moorish throne, his eternal children praise his name, for the sins of the old the young shall atone, returning once more from the Flame...

The Hero Won't Let Me Transmigrate in Peace [Dark Bl]

Liam never asked for this—an endless cycle of death and rebirth, forced to inhabit the bodies of minor tyrants destined to fall. Each new world plunges him deeper into horror: haunted manors, zombie apocalypse, cursed kingdoms, and more. Survival is a fleeting hope as the so-called "hero" always looms near, ready to deliver justice. But the hero is no savior. Beneath their righteous facade lies an unsettling obsession with Liam, one that grows darker with each reincarnation. Memories resurface, their bond twisting into something unrelenting and consuming. The hero will stop at nothing to claim Liam—no matter the cost. And Liam is changing too. Once desperate to escape, he begins to blur the line between victim and villain. Liam isn’t the villain here. But when you’re stuck in this sick game, sometimes the line between good and evil blurs, and Liam’s starting to wonder which side he’s even on anymore. He becomes a killer—not by nature, but by necessity. Each act chips away at his humanity, pulling him further into the darkness he never wanted. As Liam uncovers the secrets behind these twisted worlds, his strength grows, but so does the hero's. The bond between them deepens, a strange pull that neither can fully understand, and as the hero inches closer to godhood, Liam finds himself more drawn to him than he ever expected. What once was a hatred born from fear now feels... complicated. The hero’s obsession becomes a constant, the one thing that never changes, and Liam finds himself strangely tethered to it, no matter how much he resists. Will Liam break free from the cycle, or will he surrender to the darkness—and to the hero who’s willing to destroy everything, even himself, to make Liam his own? "A tale of obsession, survival, and moral decay, this dark BL transmigration story will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of psychological horror, slow-burn tension, and morally complex characters."

T-C-X Beyond

Genre: Sci-fi, Genderbender, Action, Romance, War, Mecha Tags: Hardcore Sci-fi, Genderswap, Yuri, Small/Partial/Harem/s, Omegaverse , GL Target Audience: Male or female On the far flung planet of Atrios V, out in the farthest reaches of the Outer-Rim, there exists an enigmatic flying city called the Colossus. It is one of the few last remaining bastions of humanity after the near extinction of mankind due to the ever-prevalent threat called...the H.E.X. Humanity isn't going down without a fight however, and are constantly developing better starships and other weaponry to tackle what has become...an ever evolving enemy. The most state of the art weapons to emerge in the last millenia is none other than the Titan Exoframe, or...just Exoframe for short; A giant humanoid fighting robot that's more agile than a starship, more versatile than a starfighter, and capable of being crewed by...a single pilot. The only downside: the pilot has to be able to interface with an enigmatic A.I and become one with the machine, and the genetically engineered pilots of the Nobility are the best suited for this role. Enter...eighteen-year-old Hudiya Luffe Arnestria, a young-man on a desperate quest to save his ailing sister, Atilla. His only hope lies in securing a coveted spot at Aldressia Academy, a prestigious military school for Exoframe pilots located on the Colossus. When the noble and beautiful Valencia challenges him to place in the top ten of the entrance exam, Hudiya finds himself entangled in a world of fierce competition; while facing constant threats of sabotage from his ever envious peers. His only way forward...is straight through his competitors. Follow him as he fights for everything he holds dear, while forming cryptic alliances with fellow students and facing betrayal at every turn. (And you get a cute little sister to love and cherish on the side!) What to expect: This is an Alpha-Omega/Omegaverse story (the kind with the crazy pheromones). (( This is not a fanfiction of any kind. Alpha-Omega is basically a genre. This is not a shared universe with any other story. It merely shares a similar genre to those other stories. This is a completely original novel)) This is also a Genderbender/Genderswap story! Has LGBT elements. There is romance. It may have some of the elements of a harem, though that is not the primary element of it. There may be sexual content later on if the site permits it and I feel like it fits the storyline. Target Chapter Length: 10,000 words Target Interlude Length: 2,000 to 4,000 words (Smaller chapters in between the primary chapters that usually are told from the POV of the supporting characters) *Was trying to publish this on RoyalRoad originally, but thats currently pending. We'll see what happens at this point. For right now, it's exclusive to here.

Her Fifth Reincarnation Won't Be in Vain

۞ MATURE CONTENT!!! ۞ Amaya once cherished her name. But after enduring five miserable lives, reincarnating again and again into the same family, in the same world, at the same time, she had come to loathe it—almost as much as she despised the Gods who seemed to toy with her existence, breaking her sanity for their own amusement. The only constants in her endless cycle were her suffering, a family willing to sell her to another kingdom for their survival, a lifetime of trauma, and the one man who granted her the only release she ever knew—death. Roman Nebelhain, the prodigious Crown Prince of the mighty Nebelhain Empire, with crimson waves of hair and piercing opal eyes, was her savior in every life. In her 1st life, sold at 11 to an aging, abusive king for military protection, her torment ended when Roman invaded her kingdom. At her pleading, he granted her the mercy of death at 13. In her 2nd life, despite trying to avoid her family’s schemes, she was sold to another cruel prince, enduring worse abuse until Roman’s blade ended her suffering once again. Her 3rd life saw her sold to Roman’s enemy, Zephyr Astrophel, a man who sought to use her magical bloodline for power, only to drive her to the brink of despair. At 25, she begged Roman to end it once more. In her 4th life, she ran from her fate, living briefly in peace until war tore her sanctuary apart. Overwhelmed by grief and rage, she unleashed her power, killing her enemies before turning to Roman for the solace of death yet again. Each life ended the same, and each time, Amaya awoke again, trapped in the endless loop of reincarnation. But in her 5th life, something changed. This time, she resolved to break the cycle. If death had always brought her to Roman, perhaps life would, too. Pretending to be mute to disarm those around her, Amaya set her sights on the man who had unknowingly been her only constant. Her plan was simple: find Roman, convince him to help her, and finally escape the Gods' cruel game. But what she didn’t realize was that this was their plan all along. The Gods had destined her and Roman to be together—not in death, but in life—and this time, there would be no running from it.

[Correction. 5, you're also a part of it now.] Before Cheng Jin could complain, the door to his room opened and he quickly scrambled to get back on his bed. "I've brought breakfast." Ying Yu entered with a tray of food, seeing this, Cheng Jin's soul almost left his body. Seeing Cheng Jin's odd expression, Ying Yu carefully placed the tray down before striding to the other's side. With his left hand, he grasped Cheng Jin's shoulder, before the other could protest, Ying Yu was already pressing his face closer, their foreheads touching. After a beat, Ying Yu slowly retreated, his eyes never leaving Cheng Jin. "You don't have a fever, but why are you red?" Honestly, Cheng Jin doesn't know. What he does know though, that he preferably wants to be burried 8 feet below the ground right now. 'PLEASE SEND HELP!'
