In a realm where brutal martial arts and arcane powers collide, Doran forges his destiny. When his latest creation, a runeblade-etched warhammer named Skarnvalk, begins to whisper its will, Doran starts into his brutal journey.

With vivid world-building, weapons that possess personalities, and no shortage of visceral combat, Doran’s story dives into a gritty landscape where strength is forged in fire, memories hold power, and every battle leaves scars both physical and emotional. A grim, adult-themed saga where every decision shapes the course of not just the characters, but the very fabric of the world they fight to reclaim.

"Wu Long, the God of Pleasure, has fallen as he failed to breakthrough." This news have shocked all of the Seven Boundless Worlds. Meanwhile, a sixteen-year-old disciple of a dual cultivation sect was startled awake from a coma, and after some moments of calming down and gathering his thoughts, a dangerous light flickered deep in his eyes: "Jun Shaoshan, I will climb back to the top and make you pay for everything, no one has ever been safe after offending me, Wu Long!" -------------- Dual cultivation is a method of cultivation that can be seen described in a lot of cultivation novels where a man and a woman cultivates together by having sex. -------------- ***DIscord Link: https://discord.gg/JfSRtJVXTd The Image on the cover is AI-generated with some minor adjustments and text editing done over it.

Though as a disclaimer: dual cultivation IS the theme of the novel so there will still be some provocative or slightly explicit content in the normal chapters, but not full-on long explicit scenes. ***Since it seems that there are a lot of people that are very particular about what they want I will put here some of the things to expect so that it is easier for people to decide if they want to read this or not: - NO yaoi, NO yuri, NO incest ; - NO rape ( it may be mentioned, but only as a thing that exists, not in relation to any particular character ); - MC's heroines will NEVER cheat on him; - MC's heroines will NOT ALWAYS have V cards (but there will be a lot of them who do); These are all non-negotiable so if you cannot tolerate a novel that adheres to any of the above sentences you should probably skip this one. !!!

Yu Linlang, whose soul had traveled from another world, was finally brought home. At first, everyone assumed that the long-lost legitimate daughter—who had lived away from home for twelve years—would be a timid and helpless girl, easily bullied. However, to their surprise, no one in the mansion could match her sharp wit or martial prowess. The fake daughter, once confident in her place, soon found her status threatened. Yet, things took a turn for the worse when Yu Linlang displayed an extraordinary talent—solving cases by examining bones.

Jessica Moran should have died. A near-fatal accident shattered her magic core, leaving her incapable of using magic ever again. But when she wakes, it’s not just her magic that’s missing—her memories are gone, too. She doesn’t remember the friends, enemies, or rivalries she once had. She doesn’t recall the lessons, customs, or expectations drilled into her since birth. Even her own family feels like strangers. The noble elite whisper that she lost her mind along with her magic. A broken girl, an embarrassment to her house, unworthy of the prestigious knight academy. But while Jessica doesn’t remember who she was… her body does. • Her reflexes are too sharp for someone who has barely held a sword. • Her instincts drive her to dodge before she even registers a threat. • And when she fights, it feels too familiar—too natural—like something buried deep inside her already knows how. Thrown into the Elite Class, not because she deserves it, but because no one knows what else to do with her, Jessica plays along. She doesn’t argue. She doesn’t fight the rumors. Because even she can’t explain why battle feels more like home than her own past. And somewhere—deep in the shattered remains of her lost memories—something waits.

In Concordia, a man’s fate is decided before he is even born. Rank, profession, future… everything is predetermined in a prosperous and orderly society where magic is a tool of control, and freedom is an illusion. But when Bastien’s world collapses, he realizes that nothing is set in stone—least of all his destiny. Thrown into a world where only the cunning survive, he discovers a magical affinity no one should possess. Now, he must outthink before being outplayed, strike before being struck, facing enemies who can bend reality with a mere gesture. Deceptive illusions, devastating enchantments, battles where raw energy becomes a weapon—every fight is a deadly dance where the smallest mistake could mean death. But the more he fights, the more he realizes that magic itself seems to respond to his presence, as if something—or someone—has been waiting for his awakening. By pushing past every limit, he may soon reach a point of no return… and when that happens, nothing will be able to stop the fall. How far can one go before they destroy the world?

The Darkness Island Prolog: "Cepat katakan! Dimana para bawahanmu dan alasan kenapa kau menghancurkan terowongan itu!" sorak seorang polisi dengan sangat kuat sambil mencambuk seseorang yang kedua tangannya di ikat dengan rantai. "Su-sudah kubilang, aku sama sekali tidak tau apa yang kau bicarakan," jawab orang itu dengan nada lelah dan suara yang pelan. "Kau masih saja mengelak sialan!" Polisi tadi langsung mengambil pistol di pinggangnya. Dorr!! Ia tanpa ragu menembak paha kiri laki-laki itu. "Aaahh!!!" pekiknya dengan sangat kesakitan. "Cepat katakan!!" Laki-laki itu tidak merespon dan hanya menunduk kebawah dengan putus asa. Tubuhnya tampak seperti sudah tidak sanggup menerima rasa sakit lagi. "Bukankah sudah kubilang dari beberapa hari sebelumnya, saat proses interogasi dan kau berani tidur, maka kau akan merasakan ini!" teriak polisi itu masih dengan nada kuat dan sangat kesal. Ia kemudian mengambil cambuknya tadi. Lalu membakar cambuk tersebut dengan sebuah korek api. Rupanya cambuk itu dari tadi sudah terlumuri dengan minyak tanah. Begitu pula dengan seluruh bagian dada laki-laki itu yang hari ini sudah tercambuk puluhan kali. Hanya dengan sekali pukulan. Dan wuzzz!! Seluruh bagian dada laki-laki yang diikat di rantai itu langsung terbakar. "Aaackkk!!!" teriaknya dengan kesakitan dan langsung mendapatkan kembali kesadarannya. Sebelum api itu merambat sampai ke kepalanya. Ia langsung di guyur air yang berasal dari atas. Laki-laki itu menatap polisi tersebut dengan mata penuh dendam. "Bukankah aku sudah bilang! Aku tidak tau apa-apa kau Bangs*t!" ucapnya dengan sangat kesal. "Sialan! Bagaimana ini terjadi, aku hanya ingin liburan dengan keluargaku, namun semuanya hancur saat kami memasuki sebuah terowongan yang tiba-tiba saja meledak. Gara-gara kalian! Gara-gara kalian adikku dan ayahku mati di dalam terowongan itu! Aku dengan ini bersumpah. Bahwa aku akan menemukan dalang atas semua ini! Dan membalas dendam akan keluargaku!!" teriaknya di dalam hati yang langsung meronta dengan sangat kuat. Dari arah dinding sebelah kiri, tiba-tiba saja sebuah peluru bius di tembakan. Peluru itu langsung mengenai tangan kanan laki-laki itu. Yang secara perlahan membuatnya pingsan. Coming soon~ ~Higashi.

This is a world where pain is someone else's pleasure, and pleasure sometimes leads to the worst pain. This is a dystopian world where the kingdom of Orin, a large kingdom that rules across seas of land, protects itself from the outside world by its large walls--known as the Iron of Orin. It's been decades since the people of the kingdom have even heard of stories of other's venturing outside of the wall--what's beyond it? What is the kingdom hiding so ruthlessly that it's forbidden to cross over to the other side?

Desperate for a solution, Alaric needs to find a way out if this situation, and fast. Oddly enough, it just so happens that Madam Bigod, a woman known for her unamused expression and callous nature, offers him a deal--persuade her pure son to indulge in romance with Alaric, and she'll bestow upon him any desire Alaric wishes. Oh, there is a bit of another problem that leaves Alaric in a bit of a pinch--it so happens that Madam Bigod isn't talking about her eldest son Cedar, but her youngest, Joan, Commander of the White Lilies and known to be the most coldest, ruthless man in the kingdom. Alaric has a lot on his plate, and it starts with capturing the steel heart of Commander Joan Agnes Bigod.
