With every move of her hands and every batting of her lashes, Selene was able to captivate the world with her delicate beauty. She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family. It didn't matter the context or truth behind the issue, Keira was to be blamed by everyone. "Selene can do no wrong! How can such a delicate, fragile thing think ill of someone? It must be Keira who is making up lies!" "How dare you cause your sister to become sick! Receive your punishment!" Such words were a norm for Keira. The place she called home was Hell's Gate, and the people she called family were poisonous demons. Her life was filled with blame and abuse hurled by her sister's supporters. She was schemed against, attacked, and ruined to the point of no return. The last nine months of her life were the worst. Her insomnia had developed into Sporadic Fatal Insomnia, causing her to lose weight as she suffered consistent sleepless nights.

This story is kind of based on the Arthurian legend. ******* He was called many things. Bastard, the False King, The Traitor, Treacherous Knight. Sir Mordred was a villain, one who according to the prophecy of the grand wizard Merlin, would destroy the kingdom of King Arthur Pendragon. And he did but at the cost of his life. As he lay dying on the bloody ground of Camlann after the mighty clash between him and Arthur, a bloody tear fell down his face. All he wanted was to be acknowledged by his father but all the things he did eventually led to disaster. Now with death’s cold hands grasping him, he hoped for a short peace before the fiery rings of hell. But that was not the end of his journey. ******* “Hold up.” “What is that infernal noise?” “Oh my goodness! It's driving me crazy! And it's not stopping!” Mordred sprang awake, slamming his fist on the digital alarm clock on the nightstand. 'What in Merlin's Beard is happening!?', he thought when he realized something. Well, a lot of things. First of all. How the heck is he alive? Second. What is a digital alarm? That's when memories that didn't belong to him flooded his head. They felt familiar but everything was wrong. How the heck is Morgan Le Fay his sister? She was his aunt! And how is the wizard Merlin so young! “Oh. I get it now”. He, Sir Mordred has been reborn in the body of a different version of himself, in a modern and futuristic world where he is the youngest son of Arthur Pendragon. But even in this world, He is the hated son of the High King. "Now what?", Mordred realized that the world he is in now is different from his previous one, with the only familiar details being the names of the people he knew. “Oh? Are you still reading?” Mordred smiled, looking at the readers. “Well, how about you join me on this new crazy journey in a crazy new world of heroes, villains, monsters, and even gods?” “Are you ready?” "Let's go!" ********************************************** The story is loosely based on the Arthurian legend.

Being a bottom feeder in society is an unpleasant experience. That's how Kiro felt after being left for dead in a back alley. Abandoned and disappointed by the 'work hard' ethic his parents left for him. 'At least the heavens are weeping for me.' As the light from his eyes faded, he declared as the last act of defiance. He awoke in a room he hadn't seen in ten years. Whether it was due to sheer luck or divine intervention, he was grateful. 'Through the VR game, Asgard, I'll become filthy rich in this life time.' Kiro was blissfully unaware that his return was a cry for something greater, for the underlying threats that hovered over his world.

What was worse than death itself? Well it was dying knowing that no one would miss you, knowing that your death was a favour to everyone you ever knew. This was exactly how I felt the day I died. I was the love child of the Eclipse Alpha King, in a time where the mate bond was considered sacred, a child born out of wedlock was nothing short of sacrilegious... 'It was his fault, he loved someone other than his mate...' 'It was his fault, he had carnal knowledge of a human woman.' 'It was all his fault, my only crime was being born out of his lust.' But why was that Alpha King father of mine perfectly safe, while I was hated, scorned and blamed for everything instead? Why did I have to be my father's bargaining chip, used to achieve his goals? Why could I not get a rejection like everyone else but was instead murdered by my own mate? Why was I killed before I even had a chance to live? I had a thousand questions and yet there was no one to answer and this was exactly how I died... So why then did my eyes flutter open to that day, a month before my death? Was it because of my little secret? A secret I will tell no one else but you... From the title of my tale, you must think I am an omega wolf... No, you got it wrong... I am not an Omega wolf, I am an Alpha wolf and my name is Omega. ~Second Book in the Werewolf Rebirth Series. *Not a prequel or sequel to 'The Alpha King's Nemesis', both books are not related save for the world setting and Werewolf Rebirth concept. *Cover art sourced from the internet, all credits to the original artist.*

In the heavenly realm, the immortal dragon after cultivating for half of time, hit a bottleneck that lasted the age of a hundred universes. Frustrated with his stagnation, the dragon accused the heavenly hierarchy of concealing cultivation techniques from the attendants of the heavenly court in order to maintain their control over the path of reincarnation. Proactive and cunning, the dragon devised the soul refinement process, a dark art that allowed the caster to view the entire life of a soul—not for judgment but to absorb its inspiration, knowledge, and skills, at the cost of destroying the soul in the process. The dragon, ever scheming, shared this forbidden technique with the heavenly court, causing its users to grow rapidly in power. This led to chaos within the hierarchy of the heavenly realm, spiraling it into confusion and upheaval. Eventually, the dragon staged a coup, aiming to change the fate of all souls within the river of time. During the height of the war, however, the dragon mysteriously disappeared from the heavenly realm, only to reappear in a secret realm of its own creation. Now, the immortal dragon has created pocket dimensions, concealed from the view of deity beings and the path of reincarnation. In these hidden realms, the dragon devours the souls of all who inhabit them upon their death, absorbing their knowledge and skills in a quest to transcend its limitations and ascend back to the deity realm. The dragon's empire spans multiple dimensional worlds, where civilizations rise and fall under its rule as it seeks a way to return to the heavenly realm with unprecedented power. Niu, a world-renowned 21st-century physicist, dies in a particle accelerator explosion while searching for the God particle. He is now the only being to have ever experienced reincarnation and hopes to share this gift with the inhabitants of the dragon realm because if he dies here, earth will be next on the dragon's list.

Kazuki was a loner, an ordinary young man who lived in the shadow of the world, always unnoticed and disconnected from those around him. Life passed him by in the mundane, without excitement or companionship, until a mysterious force pulled him into a new world—a sprawling ancient fantasy realm teeming with magic, supernatural forces, and powerful beings beyond imagination. At first, Kazuki was full of hope, thinking he’d finally been given the opportunity for something greater. However, this new world was no paradise. Betrayed by those he trusted, abandoned to die in a brutal struggle for survival, Kazuki faced his darkest moment... but death wasn’t the end. Reborn with a new awareness, Kazuki returned to life in this strange world, stronger and wiser than before. No longer the passive, trusting soul he once was, he has now become something much more dangerous—a man with a new resolve and a thirst for power. His once-lonely existence is filled with purpose, and now he walks a darker path. Vengeance burns in his heart as he begins his quest to discover the truth behind his betrayal and the mysteries of this world. Kazuki is not alone in this journey. By his side is Seraphina, a cunning and ruthless slime with the ability to shift between forms. Her cute and playful nature hides her true potential in battle—where she’s ruthless and terrifying, able to absorb, copy, and steal the abilities of those she faces, making her an indispensable companion. Together, they form a dangerous duo, each feeding off the other's hunger for power. The world Kazuki now inhabits is unlike any he’s ever known. This ancient realm is divided into multiple regions, each filled with unique magic, supernatural beings, and towering cities lost to time. From towering wizards who command the elements, to warriors blessed by the gods, and strange creatures of myth that lurk in forgotten lands, this world is a place where the strong survive, and the weak perish. Magic and superpowers flow through the veins of the land, shaping the lives of its inhabitants. Ancient mysteries lie hidden within the ruins of lost civilizations, where powerful relics and long-forgotten spells await those bold enough to uncover them. But Kazuki soon learns that he is not the only one who has been summoned to this realm. Other powerful individuals from various worlds—be they summoned heroes, legendary warriors, or gods cast down from their celestial thrones—are brought here either by fate, chance, or force. Some arrive with dreams of conquest, while others merely seek a way home. These Isekai-ed warriors hold powers that could shatter the very fabric of reality, and Kazuki will face them in battles for survival, alliances, and dominance. As Kazuki delves deeper into this strange and brutal world, he discovers an unknown power lying dormant within him—an ability that no one, not even the gods of this world, fully understands. With each battle, his strength grows, and the dark potential within him starts to awaken, making him a force to be reckoned with. He and Seraphina are drawn into a web of interdimensional conflicts, where beings from other worlds clash for control, power, or simply survival. Kazuki’s rebirth grants him not only a second chance but a path to becoming something far greater—perhaps even the one who could reshape this world, or destroy it. With new companions, formidable foes, and hidden powers, Kazuki must navigate a dangerous world filled with supernatural forces, treacherous alliances, and ancient secrets. Will he rise to become the master of his destiny, or will he fall once again, betrayed by those who seek to control his newfound power? In this world of magic, gods, and monsters, only the strongest will survive—and Kazuki is determined to claim his place among them.

But the real surprise comes from the villain. Consumed by greed, he set out to destroy her, but love—a force even he couldn't control—changed his path. In a shocking turn, he gave up everything, even his life, for the very one he sought to betray."
