"The Earth was chosen by the gods, and all humans were sent to another world, participating in a 'Dark Lord and Hero's game'. Billions of humans played the roles of 'Dark Lord' and 'Hero', each needing to choose their initial race at the beginning. Ethan Jackson was matched to the 'Dark Lord' faction and became a Dungeon King. To his surprise, he found that he could see hidden information that others couldn't... [Goblin Dark Lord] Low-level Bloodline, not recommended. [Stone Giant Dark Lord] Mid-level Bloodline, not recommended. [Magical Treant Dark Lord] High-level Bloodline, recommended. [Golden Divine Dragon Dark Lord] Top-level Bloodline, highly recommended! ... Heroes coveted Ethan's dungeon, and the treasures within it attracted numerous adventurers. Among them, there were young Lady Knights, the saints of the royal capital, tsundere female magicians, and innocent but naive female priests... Ethan could never have anticipated that. As the game had just begun, the dungeon's Goblin guards caught a Lady Knight and offered her to him as a tribute."

In the land of Kebakaran, where whispers of dragons and bloodline legends echo through the cobbled streets, Amaris, a lowly slave girl, toils away at the Golden Peacock, a lavish brothel that serves the whims of the powerful. The once-beloved King Jezza has fallen, poisoned under mysterious circumstances, leaving his son, Quellin Vircadian, to ascend the throne amid swirling rumors of cruelty and darkness. While the townspeople grieve for their fallen king, they fear the new ruler, offering tributes—trinkets and girls—to appease Quellin's wrath. Amaris's life takes a perilous turn when she is chosen as a token of fealty, destined to become Quellin's property. As she navigates the treacherous world of the Royal Court and the simmering distrust of the townspeople, she finds herself in a desperate struggle for survival, love, and power. With each passing day, the stakes rise higher; Amaris learns that her very presence may be the key to maintaining the fragile peace between the court and the populace. Haunted by her past and driven by her dreams of freedom, Amaris must confront not only the dark secrets surrounding Quellin's ascent to the throne but also the terrifying legacy of the Vircadian family, said to be descended from dragons. As she unravels the truth behind the king's nature, Amaris finds herself drawn to Quellin, who reveals a side of himself that contradicts the chilling rumors. Their connection ignites a spark of hope within her, but it also complicates her mission to bridge the chasm between the crown and the commoners. As rebellion simmers beneath the surface, Amaris becomes a linchpin in a game of power that threatens to engulf them all. Can she reconcile her feelings for the enigmatic king with her need to protect her people? Will she be the one to rise above the chains of her past and forge a new destiny for herself and her kingdom, or will the darkness that surrounds Quellin consume them both? Fire & Ecstasy is a tale of passion, sacrifice, and the quest for identity in a world rife with betrayal and longing, where the line between love and power blurs, and the echoes of ancient dragons whisper promises of both destruction and rebirth.

Angel thought the world would be hers to explore when she turned twenty. She can finally be free from the gilded cage her overprotective father built for her. But she was mistaken! Her 20th birthday marked the day she lost everything, including the freedom she so desperately craved. It was the day she fell into the hands of her father's enemy, to atone for his sins.

"To hell with the supreme leader and going back. You can only be mine! Let us rule Astralis!"

Amidst the sea of fallen comrades, their lifeblood staining the earth, a solitary figure rises above the carnage. He stands atop a gruesome curtain of death, his longsword an instrument of divine wrath. In its gleam, one could sense a challenge to the very gods themselves. We were fools to face him; my comrades paid the price in their own flesh and blood. A desperate realization claws at my mind – a realization that I must escape this blood-soaked field and bring dire warning to the holy excellencies. I looked at my remaining comrades they instantly realized what I was thinking. They must know of this relentless force, this harbinger of doom. I looked at my comrades and as I turn to flee, fate intervenes, and our eyes lock in a moment of eerie connection. He looked at me and my comrades with his crimson red eyes. He swung his sword towards me. Why is the world upside down? I thought. Then I realized that my head was cut by his crimson sword. Time slows to a crawl as I find myself caught in the deadly dance of his blade. I see the malevolence in his eyes, a reflection of the abyss that has claimed so many. He cut through my comrades without batting an eye. The red moon casts an ominous glow upon the battlefield, and his crimson silhouette, now moving away, becomes a spectacle against the crimson canvas. With an inexplicable calmness, I embrace the darkness. As he strides away, the embodiment of destruction and beauty, I can't help but smile like a fool. Amidst the ruins and the echoes of my demise, I whisper to myself, "Beautiful!" - a final tribute to the twisted elegance that accompanies the brutality of this merciless crimson devil.

For the past 16 years, Rose has been searching for answers about her true identity after knowing from the mother that she knew that she was adopted, and her real parents were dead.  That was until on her 29th birthday, that one Halloween night when she came across someone in her dreams, a woman wearing a black cloak, and a crest similar to Rose's eyes— a Phoenix. Who showed her the truth about her past. Rose's powers awoke and turned her into the woman she was meant to be— The descendant of the Regina Ordinis. Ever since then everything seemed like a dream for Rose. Everything started changing about her, she discovered a lot in her journey and that's when she found— Leviathan. Leviathan, the son of Lilith, the prince of Hell barged into Rose's life. Rose found herself falling to the Prince and so did the Prince of Hell, but he knows too well, that he was to kill her eventually, yet Leviathan joined her in her journey. Rose travelled different lands to find the seven teachers that will make her capable of harnessing the Ordania's force. An inborn capability of Regina Ordinis'descendants. With the help of Rose's teachers, she eventually gained passage on harnessing the Ordania's force which took quite a turn when her magic turned against her. A brutal awakening happened to her magic and unleashed a dark force within her which led on setting the demons her mother locked away thousands of years ago, and it's her turn to take them back to their rightful places though doubt devoured Rose, but she— has no other choice. The time came when the hordes of Hell came to Earth to kill the last of Regina Ordinis' descendants. Her heart shattered into pieces after finding out Leviathan is her enemy... that she fell in love with her own enemy. Confused after the hordes of Hell locked away Leviathan, Rose called upon the Ordania's force. Her body floated from the ground, blue aura scattered around her. She needed to fight for her life and for— Leviathan. Before the moon disappeared on her battle, a woman wearing a black cloak came back. The very same woman in her dreams. Shocked fueled inside Rose when she saw how the woman in black harnessed Ordania's force. Everything settled to dust when Rose found the truth about her power, which led her on creating the Academy for Ordan arts. A tribute to her mother— Ordania. Rose, and Leviathan; The Founders.

A Princess is given as a tribute in a century-old tradition to the Vampire King on his ascending to the throne after a successful coup.

Yu Linglong is the shu (born of a concubine) daughter in a general’s family. Since her mother was only a tribute dancer, her position is the lowest of the low. She used to live with her mother outside the father’s residence, and they only received some monthly money from him. He didn’t bother seeing them. But when her mother dies, she moves into the general’s residence. The general is a very irresponsible and violent man. He doesn’t really get attached to women, just letting his lust dictate his actions. His wife is a jealous woman, who killed one of his previous concubines, because he doted on her too much. She similarly wants to get rid of Yu Linglong, in part to vent her frustrations over her husband’s cheating habits. Because the sixth miss – the general’s legitimate daughter, was bitten by a snake, she needs detoxification. The cure was apparently getting poisoned by scorpions, to fight one poison with another. But since she’s already weak, they decided it would be better if she drank the blood of someone poisoned by scorpions instead. The general’s madam naturally decided to use Yu Linglong’s blood. During the process of getting bitten by the scorpion, the original timid Yu Linglong died of fright (and maybe poison? it’s never made clear). Then Yu Mei takes over her body. Yu Mei is a modern woman. She was some mafia boss, so she’s very capable with fighting and overbearing attitude. She died because the man she fell in love with betrayed her and killed her. So she doesn’t trust easily afterward. Since she took over Yu Linglong’s body, she refuses to adapt to the circumstances of a lowly illegitimate daughter, and uses her violence to fight for a peaceful life, where no one will challenge her and plot against her. Basically, she beats them up into submission. In the meantime, she acquires a tail – a very persistent prince, who only seems to stick to her harder, the colder she treats him. Did ancient men have such heavy tastes, she wonders.

One glance, and he knew she is the one! The woman he has been waiting for since forever, over two hundred years, she is sitting right across from him and best of all, she is starting right back at him. ***** *Excerpt* He is all I can see and feel, and perceive. Our eyes lock and I know it's the intensity of his eyes that make me close mine and don't move when our noses touch and he leans in until his lips touch mine. His hands, scent and the after effect of whatever drug they must put in this place is the only reason I open my mouth and let him push his tongue into my warm mouth, it is also why a sound leaves my throat and I don't push him off when his hand that is on my waist moves higher, I don't think he noticed that, I don't think I care either. My brain is completely fried unable to form a single thought, his lips are moving against my inexperienced ones while I just stand there. This is my first kiss! The thought is like a slap to my face and it releases me from whatever trance I am in. I push him off me and I use his momentary distraction to my advantage, my hands move on their own and i don't register what I do until I feel the sting on my palm. I just slapped him!
