This story is about love, revenge, the quest for power, and the right to exist. After being betrayed by his childhood crush and losing his loved ones to a human raid, Erik, a werewolf, ends up on another planet for seven years before he returns to a vastly changed, post-apocalyptic Earth. Originally a timid, unadventurous man, Erik has become far more dominant and assertive upon his return. Together with him comes his beloved but ruthless soul-bound partner and fairy, Elora, who wants Erik to rule and conquer with her by his side. Elora's presence alone makes Erik more powerful than others at this level, but will he find out what else makes him special? Follow them as they use the knowledge and strength they gained on Söl to navigate an Earth filled with magic, vampires, shapeshifters, and more. Along the way, Erik and Elora will meet a diverse cast of characters, some of whom Erik might have known in the past, and some he did not, but all with their own story and desires. Will Erik be able to take revenge for the betrayals of the past? And what else will he discover along the way? ****** Disclaimer: There will be some R18 scenes, but most of the time, they will be a part of character development and not simply smut. In other words, if you decide to skip them, you'll likely miss out on some character development, but I promise to keep plot development out of it. No NTR No Yuri (there might be interactions between girls when there is a scene with the MC and more than one woman, though the MC will always be the focus. To be clear, yuri means a romantic/physical relationship between two women, meaning no two women will ever have sexual interactions with each other without the MC present. That said, Elora enjoys serving women up to him on a platter, and watching him have sex with them. She enjoys dominating, observing. and playing with the other women in the MC's harem together with him, and thus will occasionally join him in such a way. I don't believe any of that is technically yuri, but I understand that my interpretation is debatable and if any of those things weird you out, I advice you to avoid this novel.)

There are different types of forbidden love. For example, when a sister loves her brother in a romantic way or when two blood relatives have erotic thoughts towards each other. But there is no love as forbidden as the love between an angel and a demon. It's just like black and white; they have zero similarities. What if this demon is the devil? The king of demons. After Lucifer's deception of mankind, the great and powerful wizards combined their magic and harnessed it to bind the devil in a coffin. But they knew of the devil's strength, so they sent a beautiful woman to his chambers. A woman whose beauty a man could never refuse. Through her, they were able to bind the devil in a coffin and left him inside a cage, magically locked by magical barriers to ensure he would never escape. But what happens when an angel walks into this cave after breaking the barrier?

“Why did you run away from me?” Avery’s breath caught in her throat. That voice—it was familiar. She looked up, her heart pounding, her eyes narrowing as her mind pieced it together. With shaking hands, she reached up and pulled the mask from his face. Prince Adrian’s sharp features were illuminated in the soft glow of the moonlight. His expression was unreadable, but his intense gaze bore into her, searching for answers. Avery gasped, taking a step back. “Prince Adrian…” she stammered. “I—” “You ran,” he interrupted softly, his voice calm but filled with an undercurrent of emotion she hadn’t expected. “You rejected me and fled. Why?” Avery looked into his eyes, her mind racing. The prince, the very same character she had written to be cold, calculating, and utterly uninterested in Celeste, was now standing before her, asking why she had run away from him. Her thoughts were in chaos. None of this made sense. How could he feel this way about her? Celeste was never meant to be his choice. It was supposed to be Evelisse. *** After the successful debut of her bestselling book, Avery Clarke faced a tragic death that transmigrated her into one of the characters of her book. Was she the protagonist or the heroine of the novel? Hell, no. Avery was none other than the villainess, Lady Celeste Duvernay. However, there’s a twist. Prince Adrian, who was supposed to marry the love of his life, Evelisse while Celeste suffered them, broke off his engagement with Evelisse and announced his proposal to marry Celeste instead.  Avery didn’t want to accept that fate but she had no choice, the game of royalty was so strong to escape. With a new resolution, Avery made her own choice… she would marry prince Adrian but what was her goal… to make him hate her like he did in the book and reconcile with his betrothed love, Evelisse.

"Fear is the unknown. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, the dark spaces where shadows dance and whispers linger. For me, fear wasn’t death or failure—it was the echo of a life left behind and a new one uncertain and slippery. Reborn as a slime, I became the lowest of the low, the first target of every adventurer’s blade. Funny thing, though: it’s not the fear of being squished that keeps me up at night. It’s not knowing why I’m here or what I’m supposed to do. When a desperate escape led me to stumble upon a dead demon, everything changed. Absorbing its essence granted me abilities I barely understand, powers that came with strings attached. Now, people beg me to full-fill their dark, twisted wishes—each one revealing the depths of human greed and the cost of power. But here’s the kicker: I’m not even a real demon. And every wish brings me closer to a purpose I can’t quite grasp, yet further from the simple survival I once craved. In a world where every action is a gamble and every choice a potential disaster, my only option is to keep moving forward. After all, what’s life—slimy or otherwise—without a little uncertainty?"
