Judgment Mafuyu

Everyone has a unique talent waiting to be revealed to the world. Some are born with it, while others spend a lifetime developing it. But in rare cases, there are those who choose to hide their gift, as if exposing themselves is more terrifying than failure itself. Alex Rose is the kind of person who could be considered a promising talent in the prime of her youth. Blessed with a captivating voice and impressive musical abilities, some might even say her talent could conquer any stage. However, her social anxiety makes it completely impossible for her to perform in front of an audience. The only way she can truly express herself is by wearing a mask—a refuge that shields her from judgment and gives her the courage to sing without restraint. Now, as she prepares to enter the prestigious Great Legacy Talents School, Alex faces the greatest challenge of her life: surviving in an environment where shining is not a choice but an expectation. As she struggles to remain unnoticed, her undeniable talent threatens to surface, and the mask that once offered her solace may soon become a source of curiosity and suspicion.

But this arrogant woman does not regard him in the slightest!

Taryn was the girl everyone admired—smart, athletic, driven. To the outside world, she was untouchable. But behind closed doors, her life was far from perfect. Her parents' divorce left her stranded in the tense, judgmental atmosphere of her grandparents' house, where no achievement ever seemed to be enough. They were all too busy—too lost in their own wounds and distractions—to notice that Taryn wasn’t just strong. She was hurting. She needed love, care… and no one was paying attention. Then daylight savings began, and everything changed. A burst of unimaginable energy swept across the world, awakening elemental powers in humanity. Fire, wind, light, shadows—all at the fingertips of everyday people. But Taryn’s ability was something else entirely. She wasn’t just another elemental wielder; she was an Aether. The rarest and most powerful of all, her gift was tied to the very essence of the world, capable of uniting or destroying everything around her. As the world fell into chaos—raging storms, burning cities, people struggling to control powers they never asked for—Taryn found herself standing at the center of it all. With her family also grappling with their new abilities, old wounds reopened and new tensions flared. The fragile connections they shared were tested like never before. Now, Taryn must figure out not just how to master her powers, but how to heal the cracks in her family and herself. In a world teetering on the edge, can she rise above the judgment and pain that’s always weighed her down, or will her power become the very thing that breaks her? The world demands balance. Taryn might be the only one who can bring it—but it will take everything she has.

Ryojin Kurohane was once a powerful warrior, drawing strength from the mysterious Nexus Abyss—the place where the realms of mortals, demons, spirits, and gods collide. But betrayal came from the one he trusted most. Branded a threat, the Celestial Order cast him into the Abyss—a void so terrifying that even gods fear it. Yet, instead of being destroyed, Ryojin adapted. He became one with the darkness, absorbing its power until he was no longer just a warrior—he was something far greater. Now, he has returned to a world that has long forgotten him. But he is no longer the man they once knew. He is beyond gods, beyond mortals—he is judgment itself.

Saraswati’s life takes a drastic turn after losing her husband to illness. Now, she must struggle alone to support her only daughter, Amara, as well as her elderly mother.

Amidst her search for work, Saraswati crosses paths with Boase Wijaya, a kind-hearted man who offers her a job as a teacher at his kindergarten. Boase is not only the owner of the school but also a compassionate man who slowly fills the emptiness in Saraswati’s heart. However, life is never without challenges. Malicious rumors and harsh criticism continue to follow Saraswati, making her feel cornered and hesitant to open her heart again. Yet, Boase persistently proves his sincerity, showing that his love for Saraswati is not out of pity, but because of the strength and kindness she possesses. Will Saraswati be able to ignore the prejudices and embrace the happiness that has come her way? Or will she choose solitude, fearing the never-ending gossip and societal stigma? "When a Woman Stands Alone" is a story of loss, resilience, and the courage of a woman to stand tall against the world—until she finally finds true love and the happiness she truly deserves.

What starts as stolen glances and charged moments spirals into an undeniable, all-consuming attraction. But falling for him means breaking every rule—his, hers, and the ones her family swears by.

The air in the secluded passage crackled with a tension that was both palpable and suffocating. Arin, her back pressed against the cold stone wall, watched as Roan stalked towards her, his eyes burning with a mixture of rage and a chillingly possessiveness. It had been months since he had cast her aside, months since his words had shattered her world, yet the memory of his rejection remained as sharp as shattered glass. He had found her alone, a rare moment of solitude in the bustling citadel, and he had seized the opportunity to confront her. Jealousy, a venomous and unfamiliar serpent, coiled within him, fueled by the sight of her arrival alongside Alpha Zayan. Though he would never admit it, the unexpected image of her with anyone, talk more an Alpha gnawed at his pride, a stark reminder of his judgment. "So," he began, his voice a low, menacing growl, "the whore returns." Arin's chin lifted, her eyes flashing with a defiant fire. She refused to cower before him, to allow him the satisfaction of seeing her break. "I came with Alpha Zayan," she corrected, her voice steady, "at his invitation." Roan scoffed, his lips curling into a sneer. "An invitation," he echoed, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "How convenient. I suppose you've been… entertaining him in exchange for his protection?" He stepped closer, his imposing figure casting a long, intimidating shadow over her. "You always were good at selling yourself, weren’t you? First me, then whoever else was willing to take you." He watched her, his eyes filled with a cruel satisfaction, as if he expected her to crumble beneath his insults. He wanted to see her break, to see her reduced to the trembling, humiliated woman he had left behind. But Arin had changed. The pain of his rejection had forged a resilience within her, a strength she never knew she possessed. She had learned to value her own worth, to define herself outside of his judgment. A slow, deliberate smile spread across her lips, a smile that held no warmth, only a chillingly detached amusement. "I would rather be a whore in a cheap bar," she said, her voice laced with a quiet contempt, "than be your whore, King Roan." His eyes widened, a flicker of surprise momentarily breaking through his mask of arrogance. He had expected tears, pleas, perhaps even a desperate attempt to defend her honor. He had not expected defiance.

°MATURE AUDIENCES• He carried me, my legs wrapped around his waist, while my back rested against the wall. I loved this position when he gave it to me. I thought he was an ordinary man. I thought that since I had already tasted his touch, the dreams of our intimacy always haunting me, I could own him. Finally, as a goddess, I believed I could enjoy myself freely this time, get lost in pleasure, which I could finally savor. I wanted him for myself alone, my personal treasure.

Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

When Mara Kline returns to her late grandmother’s remote house in Canada to settle its affairs, she expects dust and silence. Instead, she finds a relic of the past—a rotary phone in the attic that inexplicably rings despite being unplugged. Against her better judgment, she answers. On the other end is Ellie, a frightened girl claiming she is hiding somewhere in the very same house—but in 1999. A masked man with a burlap-covered face and a rusted knife is hunting her. At first, Mara dismisses the calls as a cruel prank or a lingering symptom of her childhood trauma. But soon, reality itself begins to shift. Muddy footprints appear on the hardwood floor when no one is there. Familiar objects rearrange themselves into echoes of her past. A fresh scar forms on her arm, mirroring the injuries Ellie describes in real time. The deeper she digs, the more the house tightens its grip, twisting time and memory until past and present blur into one waking nightmare. As the calls grow more desperate, Mara realizes the masked figure may not be a stranger—it may be something far worse: a manifestation of her father’s grief and rage, shaped by loss and twisted by time. Old diaries appear, filled with entries she doesn’t remember writing. Visions of a childhood she thought she had buried claw their way back into her mind. Trapped in a house that refuses to let go, Mara must unravel the truth before she becomes just another ghost of its history. But even if she breaks the cycle, some echoes never truly fade.

In a world ruled by martial clans and ancient sects, Izuku Arashi was the pillar that held Murim together—the undefeated sword, the last shield against annihilation, the warrior who fought for twenty years to halt the apocalypse. On the eve of his greatest victory against the Demon King, he should have been celebrated as a hero. Instead, his allies, disciples, and even his own family turned their blades on him. They called him a threat to balance, a power that could no longer be controlled. The heavens agreed. Stripped of his strength. Erased from existence. But death was not his end. The heavens, in their divine judgment, cast him into another world—one ruled not by martial might, but by magic, noble bloodlines, and an unyielding hierarchy. A world where strength is inherited, not earned. Izuku awakens in the body of a dying orphan in the filth-ridden slums, weakened, cursed, and bound by a cruel system that cripples his growth. No Qi. A growth rate reduced by 90%. Pain amplified by 300%. In this world, he is nothing. But Izuku Arashi does not kneel. If the heavens wish to bury him, he will claw his way back up. From the gutters to the golden halls of a magic academy. From a forsaken nobody to a legend feared by kings and gods alike. And this time… he will not be betrayed. A tale of betrayal, rebirth, and ruthless determination. Where the strongest isn’t the one born with power—but the one who earns it, through blood, sweat, and suffering.

With reality bending under their clashing powers, the fate of entire realms hangs in the balance. Will Nicolas’ chains of judgment crush all opposition, or will Kujima’s desperate schemes reshape destiny once more?

“And what is it about him that still makes you love him?” I asked, sensing I already knew the answer. “Oh, my dear, please try not to hold onto so much resentment for your father. He might—” “Mom!” I interrupted, my voice breaking as a sardonic laugh escaped me. “How can you still find a way to justify his actions? Even if you have some lingering feelings for him, shouldn’t they fade when you think about what he’s done to me? Am I really not as important as the man who has only brought you pain?” My emotions overwhelmed me, and I struggled to hold back my tearsThe silence enveloped us, and I could feel the weight of uncertainty in the air. I couldn't help but wonder what had clouded my mom's judgment, perhaps it was the influence of that man she called her husband. “Mom, I think it's time for you to choose a side,” I said, my voice trembling as I neared the end of my sentence, fully aware that I might never address him that way again. “You can’t keep pretending this is going to work. It’s either me or…him.” “Serena, please, you can't win against your dad. I really think you should drop any thoughts of going against him. He’s not as bad as you believe, dear. Remember, he’s the one who pays for this house and your college tuition. Your clothes and food—all of that is still his responsibility, and he’s meeting those obligations. All I ask is that you finish college, find a job, or better yet, settle down with a good man,” my mom urged, her voice tinged with an earnest desperation as if she were trying to convince not just me but herself. I listened, trying to remain calm, a bittersweet smile crossing my lips as I realized I couldn't back down from my convictions. “Alright, Mom, if you’ve chosen Mr. Andre, that’s your decision. But I won’t be swayed—I’m going to forge my own path, and I hope you’ll understand that when the time comes.” With that, a sense of resolve washed over me, and I braced myself for the future ahead, knowing it would be filled with both challenges and possibilities.

If you liked Classroom of the Elite, you'll love this! When Geoffrey opens his eyes, he’s already dead. Again. For the second time, he’s standing before Death—the enigmatic, all-powerful entity who governs the fate of lost souls. And just like before, she offers him a choice: judgment and eternal damnation… or one final chance to return to life. The catch? He must survive trials in a school designed to torment them. His classmates? Other souls who thought they could cheat Death. Some are desperate. Some are dangerous. But most? Inconsequential. Geoffrey watches from the shadows as alliances form, betrayals simmer, and the strongest contenders rise to power. He doesn’t care who wins or loses—so long as he stays out of it. But when he realizes their ineptitude is going to get them all killed, one thing becomes terrifyingly clear: If he wants to survive, he’ll have to seize control. And when Geoffrey finally steps into the light, the class will see what kind of monster they’ve let into their ranks. Because his best strategies aren’t safe. They aren’t fair. They’re chaotic enough to win.

Ethan's head throbbed violently as he opened his eyes, his vision hazy and unfocused. A dull ringing filled his ears, drowning out his thoughts. "What’s happening…?" he thought, his mind sluggish, struggling to catch up with reality. One moment, he was asleep—or at least, he thought he was—and the next, searing pain forced him awake. His vision swam, shapes blurring together in a disorienting mess. But then, muffled noises filtered through the haze—frantic, panicked sounds. Someone was trying to scream, their voice smothered, choked by something. A cold shiver ran down his spine. As his sight gradually sharpened, Ethan's breath hitched. He was on all fours, looming over someone. A girl. Her body twisted and writhed beneath him, ropes biting into her wrists and ankles. Her mouth was gagged, muffling her cries. Her wide brown eyes, brimming with fear and fury, glared up at him. Ethan's body locked in place, his blood running cold. "What the…?" His mind reeled, thoughts slamming into each other in chaotic disarray. "What kind of bizarre dream is this?" Panic clawed at his chest. His breath came in ragged, uneven gasps as he scrambled backward, only to realize his limbs felt sluggish, uncooperative, like they didn’t belong to him. "Is this… is this some kind of twisted fantasy I never knew I had?" A sickening thought slithered through his mind, making his stomach churn. The girl's frantic squirming slowed for a moment, her gaze flickering with confusion as she took in his expression—his trembling hands, his wide, horrified eyes. But the fear returned just as quickly. She struggled harder, her body arching, her muffled screams rising in pitch. Ethan wanted to speak, to say something, anything, but before he could force out a word, a glowing blue window materialized before his eyes. His breath caught. A translucent, hovering screen? "What…?" Lines of glowing text scrolled across its surface. --- [System Activated…] [Host Confirmed.] [Simulating Previous Data…] Ethan awakens in a mysterious world, shackled by a curse that clouds his judgment and drives him toward choices he never wished to make.
