189 years after the Fall, Earth is no longer the world it once was. Meteors brought with them destruction—and something worse; Corruption, an energy that slowly rots away the body and mind. In its wake, Aether awakened—its polar opposite, offering power through structure, balance, and sacrifice. Now, the world is divided between Safe Havens, protected by the World Authority and fueled by Aether, and the Wastelands, ruled by the Corruption. In the shadows of society, humans chase strength by walking the Path of Ruin, risking their souls to survive the ever-growing Deadzones. Alexander, a 15-year-old scavenger from the fringe town of Greyreach, carries with him secret that could get him killed: he can wield both Aether and Corruption. As the World Authority tightens its grip, and rumors of an uprising circulate about, of civilizations beyond the stars, Alexander is forced to navigate the dangers of the world, and the ever growing Deadzones that threaten to destroy the world.

The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Born with a golden spoon... yet, he was cast aside like a defective product. He longed for love, for warmth—but all he received was pain. Yet, he smiled, not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. With nothing but a broken heart and a hollow laugh, he stepped into the hell called society. "Can't you do a single thing right?!" "…Heh" "You're fired!!!" "…W-Wh…He" "I'm sorry, sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to apply." "…I-I am…Heh" "We can’t approve a loan without collateral." "…W-Why?" "Your father’s a politician, right? So, you know…" "…" The so-called society didn't welcome him very well... Yet, He pressed forward! After years of struggle, he finally secured a job—only to be reminded of his place. "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me. So don’t ever contact me or MY parents again," his brother sneered. "...Heh..." And just when he thought he had finally earned a sliver of recognition— "HONK!! HONK!!" Fate was merciless. A split second, a cruel twist, and his already miserable life came to an abrupt end. Yet, as the darkness closed in, he screamed into the void— “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” A will that even the universe listened. !~Ding~! Reborn into a new world, Aether thought he had finally been given the chance to truly live. But instead of peace, he found himself in yet another struggle—not just to survive, but against something even more dangerous… Seduction!! Not just any seduction… but a mission to seduce and save the most unattainable women in existence! Seducing the Princess of an Empire! Seducing the Hero’s Mother! Seducing the Villain’s Wife?! ..... ... .. And the list only kept growing… He, a Mere slave, seduces them all.... WHAT KIND OF F## UP LIFE WAS THIS?!! But it wasn’t OVER—far from it.... These women… were even worse!! One wrong move, one careless mistake… and his life could be erased from existence! One thing became painfully clear—if he ever wanted to survive in this hellish world, there was only one path forward. He had to seduce them all. _________________ Release Schedule:- 2 Chapters Every Day! But wait—there’s more! Want extra chapters? Your support makes it happen!

If you had a golden apple, who would you give it to? Invited to the banquet, Luo En saw the golden apple in the plate inscribed with "To the fairest goddess" and the three goddesses embroiled in dispute before him, and he picked up a knife with a smug smile. The first step, peeling; he gave the skin to Aphrodite. "To be fair, you're quite pretty. As a layer of skin, you're not bad to look at." The second step, slicing the flesh; he gave that to Hera. "As the queen of heaven, yet everyone in Olympus from 800-year-olds to animals has cuckolded you, including males, females, and even sheep. Since you can't save face anyway, take these insides." The third step, he gave the remaining core to Athena. "You were supposed to be born a male god and take over Zeus's position, but due to Zeus's shenanigans, you lost that seed, so here, have this core." Aphrodite clenched her fists, Hera raised her scepter, Athena summoned her spear and shield... Seeing this, Luo En quickly stepped back, shielding the goddess of discord, Eris, firmly in front of him. "And you still want to be the goddess of discord? Look at me; I got them to unite at once, even better than you with your instigation." "..." Surrounded by Greek gods sharpening their knives, Eris was left in silence.

Oliver and the rest of his classmates were chosen by the system and thrust into a chaotic world where everyone would transform into nascent gods. Alongside countless indigenous deities of this primal realm, they would fight, kill, and grow. This was the dawn of the universe, the birthplace of all myths, an era before the creator god Aether had even begun to mold the world. The sky, the sea, the land, ordinary life? None of it existed yet. Zeus, Odin, Eve—all the gods you’ve ever heard of—were still infants, or not even born. But this place was far from safe. Aether’s act of creation, the twilight of the gods, the war between Titans and dragons—these cataclysms would claim the lives of ninety-nine percent of all deities. Oliver and his peers had no intention of being part of that doomed majority. To survive, they had to become stronger! While the other students received starting items graded merely A or B, Oliver—thanks to a glitch in the system—obtained an SSS-tier artifact: The Book of the Chaos Era! With it, he would devour everything, ascend to unimaginable heights, and forge his own destiny. His legend would begin with countless transformations, yet through them all, his presence would remain unshakable. Some would come to call him the world-creating serpent—his eyes opening to summon day, closing to usher in night. At the end of the world, those who glimpsed him would revere him as the serpent that encircles the universe—Jörmungandr. From the depths of hell, others would gaze upon him and name him Satan. He was the spark that ignited the Golden Dynasty, a terror to mortals and gods alike, a herald of chaos, and the harbinger of eternity.

After meeting an unfortunate death on earth, Sigrid unwillingly transmigrated into a novel world becoming Lady Sigrid Thorin the unwanted wife of the crown prince. She resigned herself to her fate and set a goal to become the empress. But to become the future empress, she had to gain the heart of her husband_the foul tempered Prince Roland Maximus a man that loathed her and would sooner kill her than kiss her. While his heart was too thin for her to squeeze into, it was rather wide for the woman he brought home on returning from a three month expedition, a woman he had sworn to protect forever. The same woman Sigrid was on a mission to destroy, an irreconcilable enemy. With misunderstandings, scheming and jealousy, thus begun Sigrid's trials to win the heart of the man that had undeniably captivated her with his dazzling smile and her mission step over the fake female lead, be crowned empress and change her fate. Excerpt. "A knife to the throat of your husband that has just returned from war, what do you hope to accomplish crown princess?" Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."

"My pants are already off. Stopping now would be a bit redundant, don't you think?" Everyone knew the cool, aristocratic Chairman Li was sick, but only Rong Yan knew the man was problematic and sick in the head. That day, she was accosted at the bedroom entrance. Long arms held her against her will as the man leaned into her ear and whispered, "Marry me." Rong Yan struggled to no avail. Frustrated, she said, "I have a boyfriend of five years." "You mean my son is your boyfriend?" For her baby boy, she was willing to secretly marry this billionaire chairman. From then on, he held the knife for her kills, and poured the gasoline as she set fires. Everyone knew the chairman was possessive and paranoid—and Rong Yan was his bottom line. The five-year-old Li Duidui was at a loss. When Daddy and Mommy fought, was he supposed to help clear up the misunderstanding or close the door on them...

Cultivation Nori - Horror **Warning: This isn’t your typical cultivation story. If you're looking for a formulaic journey of power, turn back. This is for those who want their cultivation with teeth, grief, and gods that scream.** The Red Moon looms, its light bleeding across the ruins of a dead world. No voices remain, no echoes of the past, only the wind whispering through hollowed stone. Yet one figure still moves, tracing unseen steps beneath the crimson glow. The boy does not know how long he has wandered, nor why he alone remains. He remembers hunger, the weight of a knife at his hip, and the distant pull of something just beyond memory, a path he must walk, a dance he must complete. But the steps evade him, like a melody half-forgotten. There are things lurking in the dark, creatures that should not exist, bound to the moon's eerie cycle. Somewhere, beneath the veil of time, the truth is buried. Somewhere, within the forgotten rhythm of his own steps, the answer awaits. And when the dance begins again, it will either set him free or consume him entirely.

Scarface grabs a fistful of my hair, yanking my head back. My neck strains, tears spilling down my cheeks. "Let’s see how long that lasts." I shake my head, sobbing, trying to beg through the tape. But they don’t care. A knife appears. Cold steel presses against my thigh, dragging slow, deliberate. My skin shudders. My breath is ragged, pure terror flooding every inch of me. "Relax, sweetheart," Scarface murmurs, pressing harder until I whimper. "It’ll only hurt the first few times." The others laugh. I know what’s coming. And I know there’s no one coming to save me. Not from them.

Metavores. Savage creatures from outer space that devour life energy. They came without warning and brought the world to its knees in an instant. Humanity was cornered… until they discovered the Core—the source of the Metavores’ power—and turned it into their last hope. In response, the world formed the Aether Corps, elite military academies, and advanced war tech to fight back. Everyone rushed to become a hero. Everyone… except one guy. Deren.

And now, everyone believes he’s humanity’s last hope. The problem? Deren just wants to buy some bread and go back to sleep.

In front of a crowd, the classic "broken engagement" trope unfolded. Gu Feng smiled faintly and took out a golden abacus. "That certain someone, I don’t mind you breaking off the engagement. However, you’ll have to pay me compensation." "At three years and one month old, I secretly fed you a piece of jerky.

This blade was carved over ten years by a master craftsman—1,000 spirit stones." "..." "On top of that, you also owe me compensation for emotional damages over the past 15 years and the next 10,000 years, totaling..."

In the swamp, mosquitoes danced, and a five-meter long bay crocodile was firmly bound at the snout, its vertical pupils gleaming with ferocity. At that moment, a young man cover in mud was straddling it, and he was very modest in the face of audience's praise. "I'm Bi Fang, a professional explorer. I have trekked atop the roof of the world and traversed through the Valley of Death, and I've even challenged the mysterious Amazon. Even the National Geographic has named me the world's premier survival expert, the king of the wild at the top of the food chain, but trust me, that's all an overstatement..." Under the crimson clouds, Bi Fang silently tightened the rope in his hand and, seeing that the bay crocodile beneath him had finally stopped struggling, he pulled out the Hunting Knife and killed it with a single strike to the underside of its jaw. "Today is the second day of survival. I thought I would have to endure another hungry night, but now it seems, dinner has taken care of itself."
