But now, she’s back in New Delhi, determined to reclaim what was stolen from her and uncover the dark truths buried within Kapoor Mansion. Her return sets off a silent war. Meera plays the perfect hostess, hiding venom behind her smile. Avni is as ruthless as ever, guarding a secret that could shatter her world.

With unmatched talent, but a fate sealed by a terminal illness, Jeong Yeon-Shin challenges his destined death for a chance to live. Set in a realm where elves and dwarves coexist with martial artists, this is the story of Jeong Yeon-shin, a genius fighting to extend his life against all odds.

A century after the War of the Ashes shattered the old world, humanity lives under the fragile protection of the immortal Cinderen—a powerful race who demand unbreakable oaths in exchange for their aid. Promises hold power, and breaking them exacts a cost far greater than death. Evander, a cold and enigmatic Cinderen bound by a curse he refuses to explain, collects these promises like currency. His path collides with Aelys, a fierce and determined young woman whose own oath is shrouded in mystery. Drawn together by necessity but divided by mistrust, their relationship is a volatile mix of attraction, hatred, and manipulation. Aelys has a plan: to use Evander to infiltrate the Cinderen from within and destroy them for good. But Evander’s own agenda—and the secrets he harbors—may be just as dangerous. Bound by forces they can’t fully control, the line between ally and enemy blurs with every step deeper into the mirror world where betrayal, blood, and fire reign. As their choices unravel the delicate balance between worlds, Aelys and Evander are forced to ask themselves: How much of their humanity—or their immortality—are they willing to sacrifice? In Ashes of an Oath, promises are forged in fire and broken in blood. The price of trust is steep, and the cost of survival might be their very souls.

Captain Elias Carter was one of the brightest minds in the U.S. Air Force, a tactical genius specializing in aerial combat and logistics. His career, however, was cut short when his fighter jet was shot down in an unforeseen skirmish over the South China Sea. As his consciousness fades into oblivion, he awakens once more—not as Captain Carter, but as Adrian von Rabenfeld, the heir to a crumbling duchy in an alternate version of the Holy Roman Empire during the 17th century. Born into an era of constant warfare, religious strife, and the encroaching forces of both the Ottoman Empire and emerging nation-states, Adrian must navigate the treacherous waters of feudal politics. With his knowledge of modern warfare, supply chain logistics, and statecraft, he is determined to turn his backwater duchy into a formidable military power. But war is not only fought on the battlefield—scheming nobles, zealous clergy, and foreign adversaries all seek to dictate the fate of his lands. Will Adrian be able to carve a path toward a unified, industrialized Germanic empire centuries ahead of its time? Or will he be crushed beneath the weight of history, his modern knowledge unable to overcome the inertia of medieval thought? One thing is certain: in an age of muskets and mercenaries, only the strong shall write history in their name.

He emerged from the exiled underworld, a realm where the law of survival was simple: the strong devour the weak. He was a seeker of truth, a sorcerer who tread the razor’s edge between reason and madness. When myths crumbled and order fell, power became the only rule that governed the world. Not all places shrouded in darkness needed light.

In a world bound by celestial forces and ancient archetypes, Theo was never meant to exist. When Samuel, a man from another world, awakens in the body of a boy long dead, he inherits not only Theo’s life but also a dark, fiery power—one that whispers of destruction. Marked by the Ember Crown Ascendant, a force tied to an ancient archetype, Theo is both a vessel and a weapon. But this power is volatile, and as he struggles to conceal his true identity, he realizes that the truth itself is dangerous. His "family"—Gregory and Lily—cling to the illusion that their son is still the boy they knew, but cracks are forming. And as the silent weight of his deception grows, so too does the peril that lurks in the shadows. Haunted by a past that isn’t his and hunted by forces beyond his understanding, Theo must navigate a world where fate is bound to the stars and power demands sacrifice. But when the time comes to choose—to embrace his role as a harbinger of fire or carve his own path—will he be able to escape the chains of destiny?

Nevalis, a nobleman from the Kingdom of Phillirion, thought of nobles as the ones he read about in books. A noble title did not mean money or power, but rather had deeper, higher values symbolizing responsibility and honor, for those who lived with the saying "with power comes responsibility ".  But when Nevalis went out into the world, he did not find it as he had imagined. Reality hit him in the face. Those bastards aren't nobles! Who do they think they are? They tarnished the noble title! They don't deserve that title anymore!" "I will be a true nobleman, a nobleman of all the nobles who have passed this world!" Nevalis seeks to truly redefine nobility, to fulfill his dream of becoming a true nobleman, more noble than all those who held the title before him. The plot revolves around his personal journey, which brings a combination of suffering, sacrifices, and ascent towards his goal, in the face of a cruel world full of illusions and deviations. The novel combines the profound lessons of honor and responsibility, and the challenges faced by humans in their quest for perfection.

That guy was my friend's boyfriend. After they fought, he came home and said he wanted my opinion. What exactly made his girlfriend change? I, who didn't have a bad feeling at all, put him in the house. Then he killed me! That bastard stabbed me multiple times with a kitchen knife and killed me. Even though he knew tomorrow was my wedding day. How sad. A death that made me curse all efforts. But, what could I do? I thought I was dead. I did. Because at that moment I didn't feel any air in my lungs. Because everything went dark. I didn't know anything until I opened my eyes and saw a beautiful ceiling with crystal chandeliers. Are there hospitals like this? I'm sure that even if the apartment I lived in was sold, I wouldn't be able to buy that crystal chandelier! "She's alive! SHE'S ALIVE! LADY ELEONORA IS ALIVE!" I turned my head and saw an old woman running while screaming. I'm alive? Really? But who is Eleonora? I'm Cristy! I don't understand anything yet. Not a single thing. People started introducing themselves as my parents, future in-laws, and fiancé. But I knew that none of them were telling the truth! Their smiling faces were terrifying masks. My gut screamed at me to run away. And I knew that my gut never lied!

The reclusive Peak Master Fu Ran held onto a simple wish, a fleeting hope that the man of ̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶r̶e̶a̶m̶s̶ his nightmares, would have stayed in his dreams! Since a young age, Fu Ran had been plagued by prophetic visions of his own demise at the hands of a tyrant emperor, but he had managed to keep some semblance of self with a simple fact: dreams couldn't kill you.

Fu Ran must struggle with learning to deal with an unwanted presence in his day-to-day life as he discovers that there's far more to this tyrant emperor than he first thought.

"Now you see?" she shouted in a mix of annoyance and disappointment. "You can't outsmart Scrients! They're the most intelligent beings across the two realms." "You're right," I muttered, averting my gaze with a heavy sigh. "I made a mistake. I was too arrogant to think that a mere human like me could fool them." —BOOM!! "Heik! Wh-What was that?" "Hmm? I'm not sure. Maybe you should go and ask the most intelligent beings across the two realms. Oh wait, you can't. I killed them all.” ______ My name is Samael Kaizer Theosbane. On the last day of high school, I got into a fight with a kid I used to bully. It was a stupid, pointless scuffle, and in the middle of it, I tripped and hit my head on a rock. That’s when the memories came flooding in - the memories of another life, of a different world. Suddenly, everything made a twisted kind of sense. I realized two things. First, I was in a game I used to play in my past life. Second, I was a villain. A villain! Not the cool and mysterious kind, either. No, my destiny was to be manipulated and die a dog's death! I was the worst type of cliché: an ungrateful, privileged, insufferable young master. The sort you'd find in those poorly written fantasy stories. The kind everyone hates — a snobby brat from a powerful noble family who thinks he owns the world just because he was born with a silver spoon lodged in his mouth. You know the type. The one the hero beats to a pulp to prove his worth. Yeah, I was that guy. And the hero? The hero was the kid I’d been bullying all this time. The same one I got into a fight with. He was the supposed savior of this damned world. A world teetering on the edge of destruction, beset by wars, calamities, and a grim future that only I knew. And at the end of it all, the final antagonist of the game, the undefeatable boss… the Spirit King, was waiting. But could I even make it to the end? Could I conquer a game where defeat was the only certainty? A game that was now my reality! “Ah, fuck it.” I had no idea if I could, but I sure as hell was going to try. Extorting extras, manipulating main characters, twisting the story to my advantage, stealing the hero’s cheat items, killing villains before they could become threats - nothing was beneath me. Would the main characters be affected? Who cares! Would the story change? Even better! All I cared about was me—my survival, my life, my choices. “I will live this life with no regrets.” …But as I soon discovered, fate was not easily changed. And the price of altering one's destiny was steep.

“I don't like judging people, but sometimes I can't help it. I don't like talking behind people's backs, but sometimes I do. I just want to live a good life, but sometimes I can't.” Love, Betrayal, Blood, but not Hatred. Only cold revenge, and a son to complete the family. "D" Section, a nonexistent military unit. "D" for dark, "D" for depth, "D"... for death. It demanded no attachment, and Daemon sacrificed love for it.

In the fractured kingdoms of Eldyra, where deserts bleed molten ore and fungal forests whisper forgotten names, three outcasts are bound by a lie older than the stars. Kael, a guilt-ridden blacksmith, wields a hammer that burns with the soul of a traitorous knight. Lira, an outcast herbalist, dreams of a goddess’s death—and wakes with bloody hands. Tyrus, a thief with no past, carries daggers that devour his memories to feed a love he can’t recall. When Voidspawn—shapeshifting demons born from a murdered goddess’s rage—swarm their homes, the trio is branded as heretics and forced to flee. Their only hope lies in the Celestial Anchors, ancient relics said to halt the apocalyptic Dusk Eclipse. But as they uncover the truth, they realize the anchors are not tools of salvation… but locks. A thousand years ago, the goddess Nyrisia sacrificed herself to trap a cosmic parasite that feeds on mortal suffering. The “curse” she left behind was a shield, not a punishment. Now, her reincarnation (Lira) is unraveling, Tyrus’s lost love is the parasite’s avatar, and Kael’s hammer demands he kill the only friend he’s ever had. As kingdoms burn and allies betray them, the three must choose: reignite Nyrisia’s war and doom the world to eternal hunger, or shatter the anchors and unleash the parasite’s full wrath. But the greatest threat lies within—Lira’s goddess is waking, Tyrus’s dagger is a key, and Kael’s hammer remembers how to kill a god.

[R18+] I woke up in the body of a bully who stole people's girlfriends. Obviously, I wasn't comfortable with continuing to do that, but with my life on the line and a system that encourages such actions, I'm forced to play my role. However, I'm not some sort of twisted individual who only goes for girls who already have boyfriends like the original. And yet, these girls in relationships keep misunderstanding! "Hey... what are you doing in my house? No. I'm not going to beat up your childhood friend. Why are you undressing?" "What do you mean you broke up with your boyfriend because of me? I've not talked to him in a month. You're saying you broke up with him to protect him from me? What?" (FOR NEW READERS: The chapters labeled "(OG)" are the original chapters of the story. They are like rough drafts. The official chapters don't have them. They're the same story but also different. 50/50. Biggest difference is that the original had no system. You can read both if you want. Both will be updated although the (OG) will be less frequent and most of the time will only be updated when the main story catches up to them storywise.)

Caught between duty and defiance, Asche must navigate a labyrinth of deceit, combat forces beyond comprehension, and decide whether to save a kingdom he despises—or let it burn to ash.
