Luffy Thanksgiving Parade

I thought he would take me out of hell. He took me away, only to become my new hell. Beaten into silence, raised in chains, and forced to hide the bruises beneath pretty gowns, Morana Vale grew up knowing only one thing: obedience. At least, she has him. The Alpha of the Blackbane pack. The boy who once saved her life. The man she believes would set her free. On the night of her 18th birthday, when she is meant to awaken her wolf and have him as her fated mate, everything falls apart. Branded wolfless. Declared a traitor. Rejected by the man she loves. She is thrown into the cursed forest to die. Bruised and broken, Morana is moments from death… until the Alpha abruptly changes his mind and drags her back. Only to parade another woman in front of her, just to watch her shatter. When the torment becomes unbearable, Morana fakes her death and disappears into the human world. But the peace does not last as mysteries start swirling around her. Whispers of ancient curses begin to stir. Forgotten bloodlines rise. And the Alpha who once rejected her? They say he’s gone mad—crazily attacking territories, searching for a woman. Amidst everything, she comes to realize that someone else has his eyes on her. For over a decade... or even more. And he is far, far more dangerous than anyone she has ever known.

Su Jie, capable of traveling between Blue Star and the Cultivation World, discovered that cultivation was just too difficult. Spirit Pills, Magic Artifacts, Pocket Worlds, and inherent comprehension—each was a mountain on the long road to immortality. Not until Su Jie found out that Demon Cultivators refined corpses by killing, extracted souls to cultivate fiends, and used fear as sustenance for their cultivation. Need souls to consecrate a Soul Summoning Banner? Get to know the pig farms that slaughter millions of pigs a year. Need human fear to cultivate fierce ghosts? Stock up on ghost houses, horror films, and horror games... Need fresh blood for Demon Techniques? Across the ocean, America is the world's largest grey market blood transfusion station... ...... Years later. "You devil, how many people have you killed? And you still have the face to call yourself a good person? Pah, today I shall act on behalf of heaven to mete out justice." The Tianyuan World's most beautiful person's eyebrows were furrowed with rage, as she stared at the terrifying Devil before her, enveloped in wronged souls, with thousands of ghosts parading on his Soul Banner, seated in a palace made of bones, she posed her soulful question. The Devil slowly stood up and pulled out a business card that read "Hua Country's Philanthropist of the Year / Founder of the World's Largest Chain of Ghost Houses / Owner of Blue Star's Largest Livestock Slaughter Business / Emerging Tycoon of the Entertainment Industry." "You see, I'm really not a devil, okay? Nowadays, who still uses such a lowly method as killing people to cultivate as a devil!"

[From the stories of Azuden0, Volume 3. Revelation, the Downfall. Chapter 2, Darkness's Uprising.] Achan Allare has spent his life running from his father’s legacy. A man once revered as the greatest Babaylan, a Spiritual Healer, whose supposed miracles once inspired awe. But Achan knows the truth: his father was no miracle worker. The power that once made him legendary had long since withered, tainted by the abuse of such power. Yet, unwilling to let go of his status, his father continued the illusion by using him. Forced into the role of a vessel, Achan became the façade of his father’s failing power, paraded before desperate souls who clung to false hope. And when the deception finally caught up with them, it cost his father his life. Now, Achan lives a quiet, ordinary existence- free from superstition, free from manipulation. Until they come. An influential family, desperate enough to believe. Taken against his will, Achan is thrust into a world he vowed to leave behind, commanded to take his father’s place and restore the health of their company’s sole heir. He refuses. He knows the cost of deception, knows the ruin that comes from clinging to fading miracles. But when he uncovers the truth behind their illness- a Curse that shouldn’t exist, that spreads suffering beyond its victims. He finds himself unable to turn away. With his freedom slipping through his fingers, Achan faces an impossible choice: fight against the truth he never wanted to reveal or embrace the very deception that destroyed his father- before it destroys him too. Bound to the heir through forces beyond his control, he must unravel dark secrets, confront the specter of his father’s past, and decide whether to wield a power he never asked for. But with danger lurking in the shadows, the question remains. Will he escape, or has he already been claimed by the legacy he tried to outrun?

Yasmin has survived five years of Cole Martinez’s cruelty—his icy contempt, his mother’s vicious words, and the humiliation of watching him parade his mistress around town. She’s learned to stay quiet, stay small, and never fight back. But two pink lines on a pregnancy test change everything. Cole made it clear he never wants children. If he finds out about the baby, Yasmin knows exactly what he’ll demand. Yet for the first time in years, she feels something stirring inside her that’s stronger than fear—a fierce, desperate love for the tiny life growing within her. Now she faces an impossible choice: stay silent and risk everything when her secret shows, or find the courage to run from the only life she’s known. In Cole’s world, defiance comes with a price. But some things are worth fighting for, even if it means losing everything else. Can Yasmin break free before it’s too late, or will her secret become the final chain that binds her forever?

Damar hanyalah seorang bocah kampung polos yang ceria, seringkali dianggap "bodoh" oleh teman-temannya. Hobinya? Cuma ngobrol santai di bawah pohon mangga sambil mengamati dunia. Baginya, setiap gumaman dan celotehan adalah bagian dari keasyikan hidup. Namun, dunia punya rencana lain. Secara aneh, setiap kalimat asal yang terucap dari bibir Damar—entah itu doa iseng untuk uang segunung, harapan agar tukang bakso segera lewat, atau keinginan melihat ayam berparade—selalu menjadi kenyataan. Kampung kecilnya pun mulai dipenuhi keanehan lucu yang tak terduga, dari bakso yang datang di waktu tak terduga, Pak RT yang tertidur berhari-hari, hingga ayam-ayam yang berbaris seperti karnaval. Semua orang heboh, menganggap Damar anak ajaib, sementara Roni dan Tayo, sahabatnya, mulai pusing tujuh keliling mencoba menjaga mulutnya. Tapi kekuatan polos itu perlahan berubah menjadi bencana. Sebuah kalimat tak sengaja membuat salah satu sahabat terdekatnya, Bayu, menghilang dari muka bumi—seolah tak pernah ada. Yang lebih mengerikan, hanya Damar yang masih bisa mengingatnya. Dunia lain, termasuk Roni dan Tayo, merasakan kekosongan yang samar, tapi tak tahu apa yang hilang. Kini, Damar tidak lagi polos. Ia menyadari beban di balik setiap katanya. Dibantu oleh Roni dan Tayo yang kebingungan, Damar harus memulai perjalanan berbahaya mencari jawaban. Petunjuk misterius dari telur ayamnya dan seorang kakek bijaksana yang menyebutnya sebagai "Penutur Bahasa Semesta" membawa mereka ke dunia rahasia di mana kata-kata bisa membentuk atau menghancurkan realitas. Untuk mengembalikan Bayu dari "Ruang Kosong" dan menghentikan kekacauan yang semakin meluas, Damar harus menguasai "Lisan Sang Pencipta" yang ada dalam dirinya. Namun, di setiap langkah, bahaya mengintai. Ada pihak lain yang juga mengincar kekuatan ini, dan mereka tidak akan segan melakukan apa saja untuk mendapatkannya. Akankah Damar berhasil menemukan "Kata Asli" dan menyelamatkan sahabatnya sebelum kekuatan kata-katanya menelan segalanya?

Fifteen years ago, Asahi Ryuuji was just a humble farmer and martial arts enthusiast from Earth—until he was transported to another world and gifted with an extraordinary power known only as the [Gift of the World]. Chosen as humanity’s last hope, he fought endlessly across kingdoms, ravaged battlefields, and against time itself. And finally, he did the unthinkable: he defeated the Demon Lord and his four strongest generals in a single, world-shaking battle. But victory didn’t bring him peace. Haunted by the countless lives he ended—even those of monsters—Asahi vanished from the world he saved. No grand parades. No goodbyes. No crown. He retreated to the most dangerous and uncharted island in the realm, where nature is wild, magic is ancient, and dragons still roam. There, he began a new life—one of soil, silence, and healing. Now 35 years old, Asahi farms quietly, surrounded by beasts most would flee from, and seeks only the comfort of growing things and listening to the wind. But the world hasn't forgotten him. Neither has she. Elysia—the Dragon Queen, strongest of her kind and ruler of skies—descends upon his island, not with fire or fury, but with understanding. Having watched from afar as Asahi sacrificed everything, she comes not to drag him back to glory, but to stay... by his side. This is not the story of battles and heroes. It is the story of what happens after the final war. Of quiet mornings, shared meals, and slowly blooming love. Of a man learning how to live again.

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world. Branded the daughter of a traitor, she was stripped of her title, her dignity, and the life she had known, forced to serve as an Omega among those who once respected her. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. On the night of the mating ceremony, Olivia discovered the cruelest twist of all—she wasn’t fated to just one mate, but three. And not just any three. Alpha Lennox, Alpha Louis, and Alpha Levi—the ruthless triplet Alphas who had spent years tormenting her. Bound to a marriage they never wanted, the triplets made her life a waking nightmare. They paraded their lover, Anita, before her, ensuring she never forgot her place, never forgot that they would never want her. But fate has a way of playing its own game. As secrets unravel and buried truths come to light, the triplets begin to see Olivia for who she truly is—not just a Luna in title, but the woman they never realized they needed. Only now, she’s done waiting.

I was born in the 1980s, and officially stepped into the world of Feng Shui in 2006. Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed mysteries that most would never believe. In 2013, over 100,000 fish died mysteriously in Liaozhong Reservoir… In Tower Bay Street, spirits marched in a ghostly parade… In Wenguantun, shadowy markets rose at dusk… And in front of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, a ghostly princess once sat in her palanquin. Were these the workings of nature — or something far more ancient and unseen? In ten years, I’ve saved lives — and yes, I’ve ruined some too. Feng Shui is like a blade: it bears no evil or virtue. The darkness lies in the hearts of men. This book is not written to boast about my mastery or to chase after the sensational. I write to share a truth: Feng Shui can nurture life — or destroy it. There is no good or evil in the art itself. Only in the human heart.

On the day of her execution, Princess Evelyn Vexley is paraded through the streets in chains, sentenced to death by the very court she once served, and condemned for treason against the crown she was born to inherit. Then she wakes up—three days earlier—still alive, still branded a traitor, and still surrounded by enemies wearing masks of loyalty. Now trapped in a time loop, Evelyn relives her downfall again and again. Every decision, every betrayal, every dagger in the dark returns to greet her with cruel precision. But the loop isn’t perfect—the world shifts with each reset. Allies become enemies. Secrets unravel. And the man she once loved betrays her earlier with every loop. To escape the cycle, she must become something the court never saw coming: a tactician, a manipulator, a queen forged by death itself. The loop is her prison. The crown is her curse. And time is running out…

They called him a failure. Now he’s their last hope. After dying in a world where magic ruled everything, Kael Ardyn, once a feared Archmage, awakens in the body of a disgraced academy student in a distant future. The Seven Moons that once blessed the world are fading, monsters are mutating, and ancient gods slumber within forgotten relics. But Kael remembers everything. His lost love. His betrayal. The war he couldn’t stop. This time, he hides in plain sight—slacking off, dodging attention, and sarcastically guiding his oddball companions: a cursed talking sword, an overpowered ogre monk, a flirty villainess, and a cold elven assassin. What starts as a second chance soon becomes a race against divine fate itself. As secrets unravel and laughter meets heartbreak, Kael must decide: Will he rise as a god… or live as a man who rewrote destiny for love?

"But this feels real," She whispered. Curiosity got the best of her as she went around the coffin, luckily, it wasn't locked. She took a deep breath before pulling it open. "Jesus Christ!" Rose exclaimed, putting her hand over her chest as she breathed hard. She stood frozen beside the coffin, staring at a young man with the most beautiful face she'd ever seen, lying still and comfortably inside the coffin. Was he dead? He looked so pale like he was dead and yet so beautiful to be called dead. Talk about gothic beauty. Rose knew she should be running for her life at that moment, but she felt something drawing her closer to the man in the coffin, she flashed her light closer to his face as she reached her hand down and placed it right under his nose to check if he was still breathing. No air, his nose bridge was cold as ice too. Rose was still busy staring at the man's face when she felt something very icy touch her arm, she felt her heart drop to her stomach as she slowly turned her head to look at her arm, that's when she saw the white, slim, masculine fingers wrapped tightly around her wrist. Her soul left her and her heart completely stopped beating, before starting to beat like a parade band in her chest. "Hail fucking Mary!" Rose whispered in a frightened tone, her lips quivered and her eyes widened unnaturally. She felt her legs become paralyzed from fear and unable to move or run. She dared to fearfully turn around and look at the man's face again, just to find his blood-colored eyes, staring icily at her. She was about to scream when the young man suddenly pulled her into his coffin with incredible speed, and the last thing she remembered was feeling how cold his body was before she felt an unnatural sleep overtake her. *** Rose Thiago was an ordinary human girl who loved reading dark fantasies but never believed in them.

She gravely realized that just as her friend said, she'd finally drawn the dark world to herself. She somehow manages to bump herself into a beautiful man lying inside a coffin and dared to touch him just for the dead man to suddenly hold her hands and disappeared with her. In that moment, she came to believe that magical creatures did exist. And she was about to discover that she had the blood of the sun. Two thousand years ago, to survive a dreadful poison, The prince of the dark world, Cassius Levi, sought refuge in his healing grave, only to awaken when the right time for his revenge came. What he didn't expect was to be forcefully awakened by an undeserving mortal.

Across battle-scarred worlds and unstable dimensions, they face waves of shadow fragments, corrupted entities, and the looming collapse of time itself. Tensions rise, trust is tested, and the balance between worlds crumbles as the Shadow Warlord manipulates fate and space, seeking to remake the multiverse in his image. As the barrier between realities shatters, the team launches a desperate assault to stop him. But victory comes at a cost—Volume 1 ends with a bitter sacrifice, a fractured team, and a harrowing truth: the real war has only just begun.

In his first life as 'Caine Wilson', was the villain—ruthless, cunning, and very powerful. He played his part perfectly, crushing the so-called "protagonist" and parading his enemies, their families, and anyone who crossed him naked through the streets. He watched with glee as the "hero" lay broken, stripped of his dignity, before finally ending his pitiful existence. But just as Caine, thought he had finally won and secured his place at the top, 'Higher ups' intervened. A booming, ethereal voice—like the universe’s pissed-off judge—shook the skies: "You have violated the sacred code of villainy! The villain shall not win. The balance has been broken. Caine Wilson, the world hereby rejects you!" Before he could even enjoy his victory, his world blinked out, like a story whose writer just erased the last chapter in frustration. Everything went dark. And when he awoke, he wasn’t Caine Wilson anymore. He was 'Su Xiaobai', a nobody on 'White Cloud Star', a world of cultivation, martial arts, and endless struggle. But this time, things were different. He could feel it—he could see through the cracks of reality itself. He could break the fourth wall! He wasn’t just some reincarnated soul; he was a villain who had 'seen the system', who understood the game. And he was about to flip it upside down. --------------- A/N: Buckle up, you miserable bunch! It’s a parody, so shut your brains off, toss 'em in the trash, and dive headfirst into this deep, glorious shithole! Don’t come whining to me when you laugh so hard you choke on your own damn tears! --------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/dsc4fftBeF **Cover Page is not owned by Author**

When 17-year-old Kai Matthews dies in a freak accident, he awakens in the world of Thyrrion—a land where magic and swordsmanship reign supreme.

As he grows from a struggling misfit into a legend, Kai’s uncanny talent pushes him through harrowing trials—towering monsters, scheming nobles, and fearsome duels. Along the way, he unintentionally charms a parade of women from all walks of life: a hardened mercenary captain, a sheltered noblewoman, a traveling merchant, a mischievous bard, a disciplined knight, and more. Each becomes smitten by his kindness, courage, and mysterious aura. Kai’s relationships remain deeply affectionate yet never stray into graphic detail—romances remain passionate and each woman shapes his path in unique ways.

Lyric Cassandra Sandras is not a girl. She’s a curse wrapped in flesh, a devil parading in silence. Her heart? Long turned to stone. Her soul? Shattered and scattered across the graves of her past. Emotionless. Untouchable. Unbreakable. Still as death, until provoked. And when provoked... her rage is a silent storm that swallows everything. She doesn’t cry. She doesn’t scream. She burns. Only one person has ever mattered—Lilian Garcia. Her tether. Her reason. But Lyric hides it well. Pretends she doesn’t care, because caring is a weakness. And Lyric doesn’t do weakness. When she transfers to Diamond College—an elite sanctuary for the spoiled and the savage—she becomes the target. Dressed in black, silent as a shadow, they thought she was prey. Until the convoy arrived. Until the hood dropped. Until she looked them in the eyes and smiled. The A⁴—four Golden Boys who rule the school with fists and secrets—believed they were the darkness. Then they met her. They couldn’t break her… so they broke Lilian. Left her bloodied and hospitalized. Their mistake? Thinking Lyric would spare them. She won’t. And then he appeared. One of them. The leader. The cruelest of them all. But he looks just like him—her twin brother. The same boy she watched lowered into the dirt sixteen years ago. He’s the first person in over a decade who calms the voice inside her. The voice that hungers for blood. But calming the storm doesn’t stop the destruction—it delays it. What happened sixteen years ago still claws at her from the dark. And this time, it’s ready to surface. She’s not looking for love. She’s looking for war. And God help anyone who stands in her way.

Chapter 1: The Boy in the Barrel A calm sea. A single barrel floated under the blazing sun. The silence of the sea shattered when a pirate ship cut through the waves, its crew rowdy and wild. Inside the barrel? A boy with a straw hat, sound asleep. Elsewhere on the ship, Alvida, a cruel pirate captain with a giant iron mace, roared orders at her trembling crew. Among them was a small boy named Coby, forced into servitude. He dreamed of joining the Navy but was trapped under Alvida's thumb. Suddenly, the crew found the barrel. Curious, they opened it—and Monkey D. Luffy popped out with a cheerful grin. “I’m hungry!” Chaos followed. Luffy didn’t fear the pirates. In fact, when Alvida confronted him with her mace, he stood firm. “I’m gonna be King of the Pirates!” he shouted. Alvida struck—but her weapon bounced off. Luffy stretched and punched her away, shocking everyone. He had eaten the Gomu Gomu no Mi, a Devil Fruit that made his body rubber. Coby couldn’t believe it. Luffy wasn’t scared of anything—not even Alvida. When Luffy learned Coby wanted to join the Navy, he encouraged him to follow his dream. As the sun set, Luffy set sail with Coby. He looked to the horizon, pointing forward. “I need to find a crew. My journey’s just beginning!” And so, the boy in the barrel sailed toward Sure!

The forbidden river whispers her sister’s name. Ten years ago, Lyra Blackthorn fled her pack, branded a murderer after her sister drowned in cursed waters. Now, the Moon Goddess has bound her to Kael Nightshade—a merciless Alpha who sees her only as a pawn. Dragged back to a world of snarling politics and ancient grudges, Lyra must play the obedient Luna while the pack mocks her scars and Kael’s ice-cold touch burns with disdain. But the river isn’t done with her. Blood moon nights bring visions: her sister’s small hand breaking the surface, a shadow dragging her under. The pack’s elder hisses warnings—“The river doesn’t take lives. It trades them.” When Kael parades a silver-eyed stranger into the pack, Lyra’s blood turns to frost. The woman wears her sister’s face, breathes her name, but her smile drips with venom. “Did you really think I’d let you forget?” As Kael’s lies unravel and loyalties fracture, Lyra uncovers a truth that could drown them all: the curse demands a soul, and hers was promised long ago. Trapped between a mate who won’t claim her, a sister who isn’t human, and a traitor lurking in the ranks, Lyra must gamble her shattered heart in a deadly game. The river is rising. The blood moon hungers. And when the water claims its due, no howl will save her—unless she dares to betray the one person she swore to protect.
