Samantha never expected to find magic in her hometown, let alone in a dimly lit bar on a rainy Tuesday night. Yet here she was, perched on a barstool at the Black Swan, her world about to tilt on its axis. The air thrummed with an otherworldly energy she couldn't quite place. Ethereal dancers moved like smoke across the floor, their bodies fluid and mesmerizing. As Samantha nursed her drink, she felt the weight of curious stares prickling her skin. That's when she saw him. Marcus. A name she didn't know yet, but one that would soon be etched into her very soul. Their eyes locked across the crowded room, and Samantha's breath caught in her throat. He moved with predatory grace, all lean muscle and barely restrained power. Their first interaction was as intoxicating as it was bewildering. One moment, he was her gallant protector, rescuing her from an overly aggressive drunk. The next, his eyes hardened to chips of ice as he snarled, "Stupid girl," before melting into the shadows. Samantha's mind reeled, but her body hummed with an excitement she couldn't explain. Little did she know, this encounter was merely the first step into a world beyond her wildest fantasies – a realm where vampires ruled the night and pain blurred exquisitely with pleasure. As she delved deeper into this hidden society, Samantha found herself drawn to the intoxicating blend of power, submission, and supernatural allure. The crack of a whip, the whisper of leather, the exquisite sting of fangs – each sensation pushed her boundaries and ignited desires she never knew existed. But with every ecstatic high came the sobering reality of danger. Vampire politics were as deadly as they were intricate, and Samantha soon realized she was a pawn in a game where the stakes were life, death, and eternal servitude. As she left the Black Swan that night, Samantha couldn't shake the feeling that she stood on the precipice of something life-changing. She had no idea how right she was, or how deeply she would fall into a passionate, dangerous dance with forces beyond her imagination. The real question was: in this world where pleasure and peril intertwined so intimately, would she emerge empowered... or lose herself completely?

In the world of Altheris, a beautiful world yet war-torn land where savage beasts dominate every corner, the Empire reigns supreme, oppressing the people with an iron fist. Amid the devastation, a boy named Caelum could only cry as he watched his mother murdered by Imperial soldiers. His helplessness in that moment shattered him, leaving a wound that would never heal—and planting the seed of vengeance that would consume his life. Years later, Caelum returns as a man forged by pain and relentless training. With a body as strong as steel and a mind as sharp as a blade, he chooses to join the rebel forces—not for justice, but for one purpose: to destroy the Empire that took everything from him. But his path of vengeance is anything but easy. Altheris is not just a battlefield for humans but a land teeming with monstrous creatures and diverse races scattered across its regions. Meanwhile, the Empire employs its military might and cunning politics to maintain its grip on power. Amid the chaos, Caelum must face not only his enemies but also himself, as each battle chips away at the remnants of his humanity, slowly turning him into the very monster he despises. As blood flows and corpses pile up on the battlefield, Caelum realizes that vengeance comes at an immeasurable cost. Will he be willing to pay that price to destroy the Empire? Or will he drown in hatred, becoming a tyrant even worse than his foes?

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...

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

Liam never asked for this—an endless cycle of death and rebirth, forced to inhabit the bodies of minor tyrants destined to fall. Each new world plunges him deeper into horror: haunted manors, zombie apocalypse, cursed kingdoms, and more. Survival is a fleeting hope as the so-called "hero" always looms near, ready to deliver justice. But the hero is no savior. Beneath their righteous facade lies an unsettling obsession with Liam, one that grows darker with each reincarnation. Memories resurface, their bond twisting into something unrelenting and consuming. The hero will stop at nothing to claim Liam—no matter the cost. And Liam is changing too. Once desperate to escape, he begins to blur the line between victim and villain. Liam isn’t the villain here. But when you’re stuck in this sick game, sometimes the line between good and evil blurs, and Liam’s starting to wonder which side he’s even on anymore. He becomes a killer—not by nature, but by necessity. Each act chips away at his humanity, pulling him further into the darkness he never wanted. As Liam uncovers the secrets behind these twisted worlds, his strength grows, but so does the hero's. The bond between them deepens, a strange pull that neither can fully understand, and as the hero inches closer to godhood, Liam finds himself more drawn to him than he ever expected. What once was a hatred born from fear now feels... complicated. The hero’s obsession becomes a constant, the one thing that never changes, and Liam finds himself strangely tethered to it, no matter how much he resists. Will Liam break free from the cycle, or will he surrender to the darkness—and to the hero who’s willing to destroy everything, even himself, to make Liam his own? "A tale of obsession, survival, and moral decay, this dark BL transmigration story will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of psychological horror, slow-burn tension, and morally complex characters."

When Kael Drayth awakens in a broken world governed by a glitching System, survival becomes his only priority. He doesn’t remember how he got here, but one thing is clear: this isn’t just a game—it’s a death trap where the rules are fragmenting as fast as the reality around him. Assigned the hybrid class Edgeweaver, Kael discovers his abilities are as unstable as the System itself. Shadow-based powers grant him versatility but at a cost: every skill he uses chips away at his health, and every choice pushes him deeper into danger. The System is failing. Nodes, the anchors of this world, are shattering, spawning corrupted creatures, and unleashing chaos across the land. Kael’s only chance of survival is to restore the Nodes while navigating treacherous dungeons, unlocking powerful skills, and forming fragile alliances with sentient NPCs and players—each with their own hidden agendas. But the deeper Kael delves into this broken reality, the more questions arise. Why was he brought here? What is causing the System’s collapse? And who—or what—is the shadowy force pulling the strings behind the scenes? In a world where progress isn’t just survival but the key to reality itself, Kael must outwit deadly foes, master his unstable powers, and rise through the chaos of a fractured system. But every victory comes at a cost, and the line between savior and destroyer is razor-thin. Level up. Adapt. Ascend. Or be consumed by the collapse.

Title: Crimson Oath Synopsis: When 23-year-old game developer Adrian Cross dies in a freak accident, he wakes up as Vincent Astor, the notorious villain’s son from -Crimson Oath- , the fantasy RPG he helped create. Born into the infamous Astor family, Vincent is destined to follow his mother, the feared "Witch of Evernight," down a path of darkness that ultimately leads to his demise at the hands of the game's hero. But now that Adrian inhabits Vincent’s body, he has no intention of letting the story play out as written.

Surviving the prestigious yet cutthroat -Grand Arcanum Academy-, the central hub for training the next generation of nobles, heroes, and mages.

Yet, his attempts to stay under the radar backfire spectacularly when his unconventional actions begin to draw attention—both admiration and suspicion. Complicating matters further, Vincent’s mother, Lady Seraphina, has arranged for him to succeed her dark legacy. Her enigmatic letters and cryptic warnings cast a shadow over his attempts to forge a new path. Meanwhile, the Academy is rife with rivalries, dangerous alliances, and secrets, including an underground network tied to a brewing conflict that Vincent thought he had scripted merely as background lore. Despite his intentions to remain neutral, Vincent begins to make unexpected connections: a cold and aloof princess ranked at the top of their class, a sharp-tongued commoner with a chip on his shoulder, and even the hero themself, who seem different from what he remembers. As he navigates the high-stakes environment of the Academy, Vincent realizes that his actions are causing ripple effects far beyond his control. Now caught between his desire to rewrite his fate and the growing pressure to fulfill his destined role as the villain’s heir, Vincent must decide what kind of person he wants to become—and what sacrifices he’s willing to make to achieve it. -Themes: - Redemption in the shadow of a villainous legacy - Friendship and rivalry in a competitive academy setting - Political intrigue and alliances among noble families - The blurred line between hero and villain Will Vincent rise above his destiny, or will his choices lead him back to the darkness he so desperately wants to avoid? At the Grand Arcanum Academy, the stakes have never been higher—and neither has the risk of failure.

Anna is a girl capable of controlling time ever since she lost her parents. However, by using her powers recklessly, she ended up being adopted and exploited by a corrupt noble family, pushing her body’s health to its absolute limit. To Anna’s surprise, a boy with an unknown identity offered her something she can no longer remember. That’s because, to her astonishment, she was sent back in time to the moment she first arrived at the orphanage, granting her a second chance. Her friends—those she hadn’t seen again since being taken in by that family—were now standing in front of her once more. With that, Anna gained the resolve that if this wasn’t just a dream… she wouldn’t repeat her past mistakes. Despite her lingering fear of using her powers, Anna is determined to live this second life in a way that truly matters, forming bonds with friends who will stand by her side as she faces the chaos of a world shaped by magic and the political ambitions of a selfish few. ◇◆◇ Chapter 7 - A Risky Move Anna stood across from Darius, the most respected and calculating player in the room. They had tied four times in a row, something no one had ever seen before. “I’ll raise the stakes,” Darius said with a cold smile, pushing a massive pile of chips to the center of the table. The dealer turned to Anna: “You must match the bet, or you’ll lose automatically.” Anna hesitated, glancing at her dwindling pile of chips. She was out of money. The murmurs of the spectators grew louder. Finally, the dealer offered her a way out: “You can play on credit, but if you lose, you’ll have to pay it back—with interest… or face more serious consequences.” Anna swallowed hard. She knew continuing was a massive risk, especially since exhaustion was creeping up on her. But Leo’s words echoed in her mind, urging her to keep going. She looked at the dealer and, with unwavering determination, declared: “I accept. I’ll double the bet.” Silence fell over the room as the game resumed. Anna used her ability to rewind time and fix every mistake she made. But with each use of her power, the fatigue took a heavier toll. The minutes ticked by, and when she finally scored a perfect 21, leaving her opponent in the dust, her body couldn’t take any more. “Anna wins,” the dealer announced. But before Anna could celebrate, her vision blurred, and she collapsed in front of everyone, leaving the room in complete shock.

In a world where social status and success are determined by one’s Authentic Signature—a unique mark of talent or power each person develops in their lifetime—Kaylen Moore is a rare anomaly: a Blank. Labeled as talentless and invisible to society, he has spent his life on the fringes, watching others ascend to greatness while he’s left with nothing.

To complicate matters further, a shadowy organization that hunts down those who tamper with Authentic Signatures is closing in on him. Caught between the life he’s always dreamed of and the looming danger of exposure, Kaylen must decide: will he embrace his facade to become someone extraordinary, or will he risk everything to discover the truth behind his Blank status?

A group of boys about twelve entered the most noisiest class of second year and formed two queues with the first half facing the second as if in a parade. Another boy entered with straight steps and stopped right in front of the class. At this moment, the noisy class turned as quite as seventy year old grave. "All stand to welcome King Duncan of Golden Gates!" The boy announced and as if it was practiced, the whole class stood up to welcome the so called king. Soon a tall boy with messy raven hair stepped in nonchalantly walking through the gap the dozen boys made out of the queue. He proudly stood in front of the whole class and was about to motion for everyone to sit when he noticed one student who still sat holding a comic book at her face. She had her legs on the table and was chewing on some chips. He squinted his eyes and made his way towards the brave student. The other students started crying silently without tears for the new student who has just offended the king. SLAM!!! Duncan slammed his hand on the student's table. She slowly lowered the book then looked up at Duncan lazily. "What?" She drawled as she munched some chips. Duncan was stunned with her flawless beauty that he almost fell in a daze but he quickly compose himself. "Don't you know the rules?" He asked in a deep dark voice. "What rules?" She asked innocently although her childhood friend has already told her. "Are you trying to tell me you don't know the rule on campus?" He growled but she just shook her head looking at him with those big eyes. "Boss she is a new student. She just joined yesterday." The boy who still stood in front of the class explained. "He is the king, and you're expected to stand and show respect when he enters the class." He referred to the new student. She turned her gaze from the boy to Duncan slowly and abruptly stood up. "Oh so you're the king everyone has been talking about since I stepped foot in this school. Hmm, not bad. Hot and handsome." She complimented as she scanned Duncan's body with her eyes in amazement. The other students were shocked. Tracy tried to make eye contact with her in order to signal her to shut up but her effort was in vain. "Well, I'm Claire Klein..." She introduced herself.
