[Sexual Content, Graphic Violence & Lemons Warning] Warning: Dark Fantasy, Dark Comedy, Ecchi Humor, Gore, Horror, Dark Romance On the world of Yara, gods once walked among mortals—shaping mountains, summoning dragons, and weaving magic into every breath of life. Temples soared skyward, labyrinthine dungeons guarded unfathomable treasures, and glimmering phoenixes lit the night. Yet when humanity’s thirst for greater power erupted into rebellion, the divine age ended in cataclysm. The heavens fell silent, and in the void left behind, a new terror arose. From the depths of darkness the Demon Queen ascended, trailing storms of carnivorous fiends and crimson flames that decimated kingdoms. Centuries of reign honed her strength, her silver hair and scarlet-red eyes becoming legend’s darkest promise. None could stand against her might—until a hero, driven by ambition as fierce as the queen’s own, banished her into a legendary blade. Peace returned, kingdoms flourished, and secret gates to the old gods—veins of power and peril—lay waiting to be reopened. Kouki, a sharp-witted wanderer with a mysterious curse etched into his flesh, ventures into one such newly revealed dungeon. Walls hum with ancient spells, traps whisper for blood, and every step risks twisting fate itself. When he stumbles upon a stranded cat-eared girl, her frightened plea echoes in the shadowed corridors. Desperate to survive, she fumbles a spell—but Kouki’s poison-laced magic fells the half-beast assailant in a heartbeat. In her wide, jewel-bright eyes he discovers both fear and fascination, and an unexpected bond sparks between them. Together they emerge into a world bristling with hidden gates, looming gods, and echoes of divine wrath. She offers healing light to lift his curse; he brings cunning and power that could reshape their fate. As whispers of prophecy and stir new alliances form, their fates entwine in a race against time—through monster-haunted dungeons, court intrigues, and the ever-present question: who will claim the last spark of godly magic before darkness returns?

Follow the wild journey of a man reincarnated as a powerful werewolf in a fantasy world where MILFs can’t seem to resist him. Packed with humor, action, shapeshifting chaos, and plenty of adult fun, this story blends storytelling with steamy scenes. All 18+ chapters will be clearly marked with (18+) in the chapter title. Read at your own risk—and pleasure. Main Story ------- Gray Soliski wasn’t a hero. He wasn’t a villain. He wasn’t even particularly interesting. He was just your average filthy-rich, video-game-bingeing, midnight-snack-devouring college slacker. Until one night, a delivery girl showed up at his door... with fries, a milkshake, and a Desert Eagle. Bang. Dead. End of story? Not quite. Gray wakes up covered in slime, paw-deep in confusion, and surrounded by furballs. Congratulations! He’s been reborn... as a wolf pup. No system. No magical stats. No helpful tutorial. Just snow, raw meat, and a bunch of siblings who think tails are chew toys. Now he’s stuck in a freezing world with zero thumbs, a questionable “gift” for understanding howls, and an Alpha dad who thinks bonding time means hunting eight-foot rabbits. Can Gray survive the wilderness, avoid becoming monster chow, and maybe, just maybe, figure out why he got shot in the face to begin with? One thing’s for sure—being a wolf is a lot harder (and fluffier) than it looks. This is a SMUT novel with an actual plot.

[Mature Content] I was born a bastard to the Archduke of Beloria, scorned because of my odd-looking hair and sickly body, maltreated by my stepmother and sister. And my father? He never looked my way. I was the reminder of a mistake he could never accept. My entire life should've been trying to live through my days as a labeled whores daughter and the taint to the noble house but everything changed when my marriage to the Lycan Monarch was announced. Lycans are apex predators, superior beings, beastmen, and originators of those horror stories your parents told you about to make you behave. My father saw fit to throw me to the beasts as a means to reclaim the lost lands. I was the bargain for a better future for the last human kingdom, but I felt more cursed than blessed. Forced into training to please a beast and ensure I was fit to be his wife. I dreaded the day I'd wed the Monarch and be treated no less than human meat. I've heard stories about him, and they are far worse than any combined. They call him a mindless beast, merciless, the ultimate feared being in the entire realm, and the terror that bested the vampires in war and ended it under his rule. My future was bleak. But when the day arrived and I set my gaze on the beast I'm meant to marry... I realized Drevon Balthar was unlike the rumors; they didn't tell the whole story.

GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions be known. Thank you.

In front of a crowd, the classic "broken engagement" trope unfolded. Gu Feng smiled faintly and took out a golden abacus. "That certain someone, I don’t mind you breaking off the engagement. However, you’ll have to pay me compensation." "At three years and one month old, I secretly fed you a piece of jerky. The meat itself wasn’t worth much, but the seasoning on it was expensive—100 spirit stones." "At three years and two months old, I gave you a wooden knife. This blade was carved over ten years by a master craftsman—1,000 spirit stones." "..." "On top of that, you also owe me compensation for emotional damages over the past 15 years and the next 10,000 years, totaling..." "And for those times I kissed you..." --- Support me on www.patreon.com/c/AnubisTL and Read Ahead!

In a lively tavern, an old sailor shares tales of a mysterious portal beyond the cliffs, promising treasure, immortality, and strange powers, though many who sought it never returned. A scruffy, bold sixteen-year-old boy, Taro Frossfin Lee, enters, drawing attention with his hunger and defiance. After causing a scene by devouring meat in a butcher’s shop and passing out, Taro is confronted by Kai, the village protector. As Kai questions him, bandits led by the fearsome Rook, known as the Elephant, attack the village. Kai fights valiantly with his magical sword but is overpowered by Rook.

Liora had everything, silk gowns softer than clouds, and eleven royal brothers who treated her like a jewel. Her days were filled with naps and banquets, her biggest worry being whether sapphire blue matched better with her crown than royal gold. But fate had a cruel sense of humor. One night, she fell asleep in her warm bed with wine in her hand. The next, she woke up in a nightmare. A world ravaged by zombies. Smoke and ash filled the air. The ground was stained with blood. Her palace? Gone. Her servants? Gone. Her status? Worthless. The only thing that remained? Her will to survive. With no training, no supplies, and no clue how to swing a weapon, she was thrown straight into the depths of hell, until a cold mechanical voice echoed in her mind. [Welcome, Host. You have activated the Overlord System.] It sounded powerful, promising... until she learned the truth. She had no abilities, no resources, and a system that cared more about giving her impossible missions and drowning her in cosmic debt than helping her stay alive. While others awakened fire or telekinesis, she was stuck dodging Level 2 zombies with nothing but her fists and pure desperation. Every fight was a gamble. Every step forward cost blood, sweat, or worse—sanity. Yet she rose. She built her own base from scratch. Controlled supplies. Built a black market network in the ruins. People started to follow her, fear her, and even rely on her. And then he showed up. The aloof, deadly awakened one who never cared for others—until her. With piercing eyes and unmatched power, he could destroy armies. But when he tried to get close, to protect her, to understand her, Liora was too busy reinforcing her walls and negotiating food rations to entertain his brooding charm. He said he wanted to fight beside her. She said, "Unless you're here to dig trenches or clear zombies, move aside." He brought her rare supplies—medicine, clean water, even a working generator. She didn’t blink. "Bribing me with electricity? Cute. Now get in line with the others if you want shelter." Because in this world, there was no room for love when survival was still uncertain. But love, like the undead, is persistent. Trigger Warning: Violence, Gore, System Abuse, Psychological Trauma, Romantic Tension.

Reborn into the body of a poor young boy in an unknown village in another world, Lu Qing felt quite helpless. Fortunately, he awakened an ability to see through the information of objects, which gave him a bit of capital to survive. He looked at a weed by the road. [Cow bone grass, average quality, medicinal, highly effective in treating bone injuries.] He looked at a red carp in the river. [Red moon carp, excellent quality, delicious meat, a top-grade nourishing food.] He looked at a wild rabbit in the mountains. [Gray rabbit, ordinary wild rabbit, edible.] ... With his innate ability, Lu Qing gradually established himself in the village, able to survive. Just when he thought he would lead a peaceful life in this ancient world with low productivity, one day, he suddenly saw a figure sweeping across the sky...

3000 years after his disappearance, Xue An had undergone cultivation and came back as an invincible fairy. But upon his return to Earth, he realised that he had a pair of twin daughters. “Papa, this dragon doesn’t taste good!” “Oh, this must be an ancestor-grade dragon that has lived for much too long. Its meat has become a little dry. Next time, we shall eat a young dragon within ten thousand years of age.” Some dragon that had existed since the beginning of the universe was lying on the floor, trembling and shivering. “Papa, between you and the other Immortal-emperor mannies, who is more powerful?” Xue An smiled. There was not a single soul that could withstand even just one blow from him. If there was! That would at most be two! “My dear daughters, I will make you girls the happiest princesses in this whole, wide world. No, in this whole universe! And it’s the two of you!”

I’ve been reincarnated into a tragic novel—into the body of a villainess who’s hated no matter what she does. But that despair didn’t last long. "We’ll immediately alter the dress to suit the Lady’s taste!" "Of course, there’s no such thing as homework." "You’re the one and only jewel of the empire, just as you wished." Even just frowning and staying silent makes everyone around me obediently follow my words. Why should I live like a pushover again? Honestly, living as a villainess like this is way more comfortable. If I’m going to be a villainess anyway, I might as well be a filthy rich one. So I used all the knowledge I had—and as a result: "May I have the honor of escorting the Lady tonight?" Not only did my father fall in line— but even a hidden mastermind villain, who wasn’t in the original storyline, suddenly rolled right into my life?!

But once I lost my honor, I was worthless in their eyes … just an object that belonged in the trash. After scarring my soul, they sold me to monsters who tortured me and scarred my face.

After my escape, I was planning to live in a human town and rebuild myself. No one would chase a dead Luna ever. Right? Nah! I guess I was wrong. Fate had other plans.

2014. 5:00 Am. Under the still dark sky, a silhouette was jogging around the block in black sweatpants and a sweatshirt, despite the darkness hiding most of his features his almost vibrantly glowing gold eyes could be seen sharp and focused. “I love, I love, I love…” the man was quietly singing, his headphones laid over his hoodie, noise cancelling of course, a beloved feature. The man, keenly aware of the danger of ANC headphones was constantly surveying the road, wary of cars. Unaware of the massive incoming meteor that was plummeting at a speed so fast it was like a blur. *boom* Just like that, a man, crushed under the weight of at least 100,000 pounds was made into meat paste, sadly missing out on the evolution of Earth. [Planet Z267-B3, “Earth” has been inducted. Good Luck] From that moment on people started awakening left and right, [You have awakened S-ranked skill, god speed, you move at incredible speeds.] [You have awakened D rank skill, Tech Savvy, you are exceptionally good with technology] … However, unknown to the rest of the world, a man, well meatpaste, received a talent as well, one so broken it was unheard of. […Skill awakened: The Talented, you are the talented one, the pinnacle of all genius, what a one in ten quadrillion genius can achieve throughout a lifetime, you achieve in a blink.] “…” the once man, now meatpaste felt his bones, flesh, and blood slowly reconvene, the boulder, the cause of the evolution cracked and revealed him, Alexios Bornhunter, the talented one.

[Mature Content Warning] In the fading twilight of the Moorish empire, Aneesa is betrayed by her family and sold to the palace as a concubine. But the Alhambra holds more than silks and secrets-within its walls lie dangerous scrolls, ancient alchemy, and a prince (Emir) who'd rather vanish into books than claim his throne. When the palace's future collides with an approaching army, Aneesa and Emir Tariq must decide whether love is their greatest weakness or their most powerful weapon. Forbidden love, dark magic, and courtly betrayal collide in this slow-burn historical fantasy where passion may be the only thing strong enough to rewrite fate. --- Excerpt --- Aneesa melted into him, hands grasping at his muscular arms. His fingertips slid along her back, pulling her in with the urgency of someone who had denied himself too long. She gasped as he picked her up and spun her around. In no time, her spine met the cold stone table, and scrolls and ink jars were knocked aside. Their tongues thrashed together as one hand clutched at her breasts and another raised her robe and navigated up her inner thigh. The Emir paused, looking at her with eyes on fire with desire.

A beam of light, transcending the barriers of countless universes, projected onto the countless worlds, becoming a spectacle for the natives of each world! When Jingliu finely diced Blade into minced meat, the Demon Slayer Corps were shocked! 'What kind of breathing technique is that? Ice Breathing?' (A certain Demon King trembled in a corner) When Acheron unleashed a spectacular slash in Penacony, a girl named Mei on a certain starship couldn't even hold her rice scoop steady. 'She's also named Mei? She also has lightning attributes? And... why does her voice sound exactly like mine?' This is bad! I have a feeling the upcoming scenes are going to have an unacceptable, super-crazy development!

His power could be felt miles away, his beauty captivated everyone who saw him, and his abilities were beyond imagination... This heaven-blessed man was… not part of our story, sorry :-p We often hear about those overpowered heroes, born with immense talent or into illustrious families, those privileged few to whom destiny has smiled. But what about us, the ordinary people ? Those without innate talent or privilege? Those who must build everything from scratch?

Embark on an extraordinary journey in a fantastic world filled with mystery, as Ikku sets out to find the 4 legendary Millennium Jewels, treasures no one has ever been able to recover. Will sheer determination and willpower be enough to accomplish such an impossible feat? Only time will tell.

Win a thousand fights or die in the sand. Caelvir was thrown into the Dust Arena, starving, beaten, and forgotten.

Every breath brings him closer. To freedom. To a promise. To whatever comes next.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?

I woke up in a cold, prison cell injured and with no memories, only the echo of a name I couldn't place and a pair of storm-dark eyes, haunting my dreams. He told me that I am his queen. That I belonged to him. King Vesperian, the enigmatic king with a smile like sin and a gaze that unraveled me. He pulled me from the shadows and draped me in silks and jewels, swearing I was safe, cherished… loved. But if I was his, why did it feel like I was being watched, studied, played? In a palace wrapped in beauty and secrets, I walk the line between fantasy and fear, drawn to a husband who feels like both protector and captor. The court whispers, the walls close in, and with every fleeting memory that returns, I’m forced to wonder: is this a second chance at love—or the beginning of a dangerous game I already lost once?

this book is the continuation of the chapter checkmate . after 386 .after jayjay and yuri went to drew's house yuri messes up with the debt owners.... then what happened u will found out in this novel.

In the heart of the galaxy stands the Galactic Federation, a decaying alliance of twelve major star systems built on the ruins of an old ideal: unity. Corruption, class division, and shadow warfare now define its core, and nowhere is this more visible than in Star City — the Federation’s crown jewel, and its most unequal society.

Stripped of status and marked as a second-class citizen for being Earthborn, Kuzon is forced into Tier 3 — the city’s lawless industrial underbelly. There, power belongs not to governments, but to four criminal mafia families who run drugs, weapons, and labor markets with corporate efficiency. With no future, no allies, and barely a place to sleep, Kuzon scrapes by in a grimy tavern run by those too desperate to leave and too dangerous to defy. But as he descends deeper into the city’s rot, he begins to uncover a power vacuum, a brewing rebellion, and the unspoken truth: The galaxy remembers names — just not kindly.

# figurehead # omnipotent # toughgirl # militaryofficer Single mother Meng Yao transmigrated and became an evil mother-in-law who forced her daughter-in-law to seek death. Meng Yao: “How do I clear my name? Someone please tell me urgently, I need to know!” After all, she was a kind-hearted woman, and was not evil mother-in-law material at all. Her daughter-in-law, who previously didn’t dare to speak out in front of her: “My mother-in-law is the best in the world!” Zhao Xiaoshu, whom she had sent to become a disciple at the age of eight and had almost been beaten to death by his master: “When did you see my mother was bad to me?” Zhao Xiaohua, who pinched her increasingly thinning cheeks: “My mother doesn’t love me anymore. She doesn’t give me any more meat to eat.” Zhao Xiaohua, who became thin and pretty later on: “It’s all thanks to my mother, who didn’t let me eat meat.” Meng Yao, who had now cleared her name and conscience, wondered if she would find a second chance at love. She couldn’t be single all her life, even in her second life, right? All her children: “Dad, if you don’t come back, Mom will start looking to start over!” A handsome, middle-aged man with dashing eyebrows and an indifferent expression: “She dares?!” Meng Yao was confused. Wasn’t she a widow? Was this a scam?

They took everything from her—her name, her title, her future. Once promised to the Crown Prince and hailed as the jewel of House Aramour, Lady Selene watched her world collapse overnight. Branded the daughter of a traitor and cast aside for a prettier, safer cousin, she vanished from the nobility without protest. One year later, she returns. But not as the quiet girl they remember. The ballroom whispers. The prince stares too long. The woman who replaced her begins to unravel. And Selene? She plays her part to perfection—sweet, graceful, obedient—while weaving a web around every person who helped destroy her family. This isn’t a story of forgiveness. This is a story of survival. Of strategy. Of war without swords. Because the court forgot one thing: A noblewoman isn’t a weapon. She’s the one who chooses when to draw the blade.

Retaliation of the Psychopath Ten years ago, Tokyo housed one of the largest meat distribution markets in the nation — a booming industry that fed millions and provided steady income to thousands of workers, especially young part-timers just trying to get by. The system worked. The market thrived. Until a mysterious animal-borne virus began to spread. Business declined. Panic set in. Profits crashed. But then, just as quickly as it fell… the market mysteriously recovered. No explanation. No cure. Yet behind that sudden recovery, something was terribly wrong. Every single part-timer hired that year vanished without a trace. No bodies were found. No names were mentioned. No headlines made noise. The authorities buried the reports. The companies stayed silent. And the market — somehow — stayed stable. A decade later, the city has forgotten. But one survivor has not. Takeshi, the lone part-timer who escaped that bloody year, returns — and he's not looking for answers. He’s looking for revenge. Beneath Tokyo’s neon glow, a silent war begins — between one man and the industry that turned workers into meat. ---

Alistar Rouge was born a thief, raised a thief, and a thief by choice, so when The Fence gave him a sweet tip about a precious jewel belonging to a careless noblewoman, he couldn't not attempt to steal it. Obviously, he got caught, but something else happened that went beyond his wildest expectations. Not only was he cursed with the sweetest, most dreadful curse, but he unintentionally involved an innocent woman who merely tried to save him. Now, they hungered, and the city of Onyxport became their hunting ground. They prowled the night, and others cowered in fear of them for they were the terror. Who knew that being evil felt so good?
