Ten years of marriage. Known since childhood. Yet, he felt he had never known her. What he saw was a loving and gentle wife. But what he heard about her from others had always been different. One said she married him for his money. One said she seduced a Prince behind his back. One said she spiked her sister and sent her to a man’s bed. One said she tortured the servants behind his back. One said… He had heard many such things but never believed anyone. Until one day, he saw how she scolded his brother, slapped his sister-in-law in the face, and pushed his nephew into the pool. He couldn’t take it anymore and asked for a divorce but she rejected to his face. Then he heard the news that she obtained the shares of their company and was about to overturn his brother’s position. “How did she turn into a scheming wife?” he asked, not really expecting any answers. But he got a chance. He woke up to the day he got married. He thought it was his chance to get rid of the woman from his life. He would save his brother and his family from his ‘wife’. He will get a divorce from her. But… Why couldn’t he get rid of this wife at all? Had she been so scheming all her life? Clearly not. In this life, he started seeing her life the way he had not seen before. From her perspective, she had shed tears without him knowing. He realized that he had been a bad husband all along. Suddenly his life changed from trying to divorce her to changing her ‘fate’. Who would win in this battle? Her fate of becoming a scheming woman? Or his determination and … love? #WSA2025 #Mindreading

Stories were never just fiction. The moment a tale is completed, its world is given form. But when stories remain unfinished, they unravel into reality—twisting, replacing, and consuming what once was. In a world where the written word shapes existence, only the Loreforged—those who can wield and complete these stories—stand between order and oblivion. But this is not a hero’s tale. Zayne was nothing. A young man without a purpose, buried beneath a world that had already written him out. A slave, a servant, a forgotten remnant of an uncaring world about to get rid of him. That was until the unfortunate fate of being near an Unraveling came upon him—and the only way to survive was to defy everything, including the death being brought upon him. With nothing but his newfound power, a smirk, and a reckless disregard for the rules of existence, he will forge his own legend—or burn everything down trying.

Beaufort Lancaster has always known himself to be a sinner—a man with little to no intention of marriage, a man, or better, a lover who enjoys the thrill that comes with women bound to duty—especially those who belong to other men. However, what was once a game, a thrill, shifts dangerously once he meets Lady Louisa Lancaster, his brother’s wife—Andrew Lancaster. Andrew Lancaster is mad. Not mad in the way men are described as eccentric, temperamental, hard nuts to crack, illogical, impediments, imbeciles... No! The man is truly lost to the grip of madness. His world and reality align in different diversions. His marriage to Louisa is a hollow arrangement, void of warmth or desire. Yet, bound by duty and title, she remains his! Beaufort never thought himself capable of true love—until her. What begins as a fascination, mere attraction to another married woman, transforms into something unbearable. He thinks about her more often than he should. He watches her more closely than is right. He delights in spending more time with her than he should. And the breaking point comes when he finds himself in her room, out of a slight argument, one fateful evening. A kiss. A touch. Nothing more. But it is enough to undo him! Wracked with guilt and the weight of his transgression, Beaufort flees Lancaster for London, seeking refuge in the arms of God. Priesthood, he believes, shall cleanse him—will rid him of her. Yet, even within the monastery, the ghost of Lady Louisa haunts him—her scent, her touch, the whisper of her name, her smile. They all linger in the quiet halls filled with souls embracing celibacy. But he was never celibate! How could he be if he thinks? If he thinks rather sexually of another human being he wished to rid himself of? Worse—his brother’s property? And so he flees! The cloth of fatherhood or brotherhood can never silence the call of his heart. Salvation is a word, and he, of all people, shall have a different case scenario on the Day of Judgment! What happens? In His Sins is a tale of forbidden love, guilt, and the haunting grip of desire, set against the rigid moralities of the Victorian era. Enjoy!

Ein was a hitman on hire. A killer, a shadow, a death with insomnia, if you may. He had witnessed countless pairs of eyes dim as the light of life faded, leaving nothing but vile hollowness. Needless to say, the sight of a soul popping out of the dead body was a first. And it wasn't just any soul. It was the dead heir of Byers Holdings, the same guy he killed with his own hands. Turns out the rich boy Adriel had a horribly irritating and loud soul, but worst of it all - impossible to get rid of. Who would have thought that killing on a blue moon night could lead to being haunted?

It is now the year 3027, exactly one thousand and two years since the world my ancestors knew ended in a nuclear war. But not everything turned out bad. After all, humans built a new city—at least those who survived underground. This city is called Pangaea, yes, exactly like the supercontinent from the past! And me? Well, I'm one of the few people you could say were fortunate enough to awaken superpowers! Or at least, I thought so... Because of radiation, everyone has powers, at least to some extent, but my parents and I were just failures, and we paid the price. My sister, though, was a genius—a S-rank awakener! Yet, people come and choose to kill those they fear... Two years before the story begins, I lost everything—my mom, my dad... my beloved sister... and during that time, my electrical powers re-awakened. Now, I only care about finishing my studies and learning to control the powers that don't belong to me—at least, it feels that way. But the powers I wield can destroy everything, so I will be careful! I won’t mess up again... though I always do... But that’s not the point! The point is that no villain is safe as long as I live. I will get rid of all of them...

Jonathan Keynes, a thirteen-year-old boy, loves exploration and adventure. He possesses an explosive energy within him that always drives him to push the boundaries of the ordinary.

Its original mission was to keep an evil entity contained within it, until the seal found itself weakened, forcing it to merge with Jonathan to compensate for its weakness.

Over time, Jonathan Kane will realize the extent of the responsibility he carries, and he will learn how to control this entity that has begun to use its limited abilities in unexpected ways. His journey will be filled with challenges and sacrifices in his quest to rid himself of the curse he inadvertently brought upon himself. Whether in the near or distant future, he will have to confront the dark force that resides within him before it completely takes over... literally.

After overhearing my fiancé's sweet-talking to his lover over the phone, I had him kicked out of my flat within the same hour. Even though I didn't have any plans after, I hadn't expected to find myself in front of an altar before a foul-mouthed red-eye hunk of a man.

I'm inside an R18 dark romance novel I read. The vows had already been read and even if I keep refusing to put on the wedding ring, my death flag was already in place. Did I get rid of one trash to find another?

Alex Mercer never thought his life would end on a rainy night, skidding off a slick highway in his beat-up car. But death wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of his nightmare. Waking up in the fiery depths of hell, Alex faced Lucifer himself, a devilish grin plastered across the fallen angel's face. "You were destined for eternal torment," Lucifer said, his voice smooth as silk yet carrying the weight of countless damnations. "But I have a proposition for you." The deal was simple yet horrifying. If Alex wanted a second chance at life, he had to rid the Earth of Lucifer's escaped minion demons who had broken their chains and now wreaked havoc among the living. The reward? A ticket back to hell, but this time as Lucifer's lieutenant rather than a prisoner. To fulfill his part of the deal, Alex was granted a fragment of Lucifer's power: the ability to summon hellfire, manipulate shadows, and sense the presence of evil. Armed with these abilities, Alex is sent back to Earth, but not as the man he once was. Now, he's something more a hunter, a reaper of the damned. Yet as Alex fights to send demons back to hell, he begins to question the true cost of the deal. What will remain of his soul when the last demon falls? And can he trust Lucifer, the Prince of Lies, to keep his word?

She took him in and nursed him back to health, unaware that she had just invited the most dangerous man in London into her life. That man was Draziel Everdeen — the powerful and feared leader of an underground mafia empire. Ruthless and calculated, Draziel had long abandoned the idea of love and trust. But there was something about Ivara’s kindness and unwavering sincerity that slowly cracked his icy walls. Yet love doesn’t come without a price. As their worlds collide, Draziel’s enemies close in.

Meanwhile, Draziel faces his own battle: can he protect the woman he loves without destroying her in the process? Or will his love become his greatest weakness? In a world of power, desire, and bloodshed… will their love survive? Or is it doomed from the start?

The host has unlocked the Wendigo system] His soul immediately possesses the hunter, turning him into a 3-meter wendigo that must survive the chase of the Supernatural defense agency that wishes to rid the world of monsters, and in this case, including Carl. Do give it a chance, like 8-10 chapters before deciding on dropping the novel. Also, I will be honest: it's not perfect due to some pacing issues at the beginning. My writing style is 3rd perspective but it's written in a way that it sometimes feels 1st perspective, so I don't want new readers to get confused and question the lack of MC monologuing/ inner thoughts.
