Guiding Moonlight

Elara Vance, a rising star in the cutthroat world of architecture, watches her meticulously built career implode in a single humiliating public scandal. Accused of corporate espionage by a mentor she trusted, she's branded a pariah, losing her firm, her reputation, and her last penny. Just as the city's sparkling skyline appears to taunt her misery, a figure emerges from the darkness: Julian Thorne, the infamous, ruthless CEO of Thorne Industries and her family's archenemy for years. Julian provides Elara with a lifeline—a Faustian bargain that traps her in his gilded cage, supposedly to utilise her power for his own secret purposes. Cornered in a deadly game of cat and mouse where trust is something she cannot afford, Elara has to cope with Julian's dark charm and the intense, hot chemistry igniting between them. As lunar nights reveal unexpected vulnerabilities and shared histories, Elara is faced with a shocking truth: Julian Thorne is not only a cunning billionaire but also the very man who holds the secrets to unravelling her own death and, perhaps, to a destiny that unites them under the moon's eternally watchful eye. Will an unwilling alliance ignite a passion powerful enough to redeem them both, or will their clashing worlds tear them apart beyond redemption?

When a normal day at school turns into a fight for survival, Takumi and Tenma find themselves — along with their entire class — transported to a blood-red world ruled by ancient swords and a monstrous Dragon God. To return home, they must defeat the realm’s final boss. But there’s a catch: the gate to the Dragon God’s lair only opens with ten legendary S-Rank swords — the most powerful weapons in this twisted game. Takumi, full of hope and reckless courage, is thrilled when he’s chosen by one of the strongest blades. But his best friend, Tenma — shy, quiet, and constantly belittled — receives the weakest sword of all. Now mocked and hunted, Tenma must find the will to survive in a place where strength means everything and trust can mean nothing. As students turn on each other in a deadly battle royale, whispers of an even darker threat emerge: the mysterious wielder of Eclipse, the strongest sword of all, who cuts down anyone who dares to challenge him with a single, effortless strike. In a world where only the strongest live, can two ordinary boys find a way to survive — and maybe, just maybe, change their fate? Welcome to The Moonlight Blades. Let the hunt begin.

I was slowly hearing his voice, seeing his exact location – the human realm!! But why? Why would he choose to go there instead of being with the demons like he said? We had thought he was a demon wolf since we were little and ever since then he has always hated himself. We were even lucky that he hadn't killed himself or rather hadn't been killed because it would create a greater problem for Cridwan and the whole universe with every single creature, the moon, the earth, the other planets and its people in addition. As the uneasiness inside of me grew, I began to see lots of imagery of Liam and I couldn't help but feel that I was close to him, that I would finally find him. And I could feel it, my soul was gradually leaving me – again! I closed my eyes and when I opened them back I was in front of a large mansion’s backyard, with the sky dark and the moon looking a lot smaller. I saw a woman dressed in a flare gown, and about to take her own life. She jumped down and fell into the large pool. Before I knew it, there was a thud…. Want to find out more?

This mysterious figure, cloaked in a long coat and hat, teases out Rossie’s secret feelings for Michael, offering her a moonflower that pulses with light and thrives on truths. The Gardener’s cryptic advice and the garden’s strange allure pull Rossie into a web of self-discovery. Driven by rumors, Rossie visits the old library to confront a cursed mirror said to reveal one’s destined love or greatest loss.

The crown was a heavy thing, even before it touched Lyra's brow. Born into a lineage of power, she was forged for a throne few believed a female should ever claim. Whispers of dissent clung to her like a shroud, turning every shadow into a potential threat, every ally into a question mark. Survival wasn't a choice; it was a daily battle against those who craved her demise. Her fate tangled further with the arrival of Alpha Lucien, a male as formidable as he was arrogant, and whose contempt for her kind was etched into his very being. He claimed her as his destined mate, not out of passion, but as a calculated move – a pawn in his grand scheme to usurp the Lycan King's dominion. Lyra found herself ensnared, her heart's desires clashing violently with the brutal machinations of power and a destiny she never truly asked for.

I'm also uploading this on royalroad under the profile https://www.royalroad.com/profile/751665 You know Truck-kun. The chrome-gleaming, destiny-delivering cosmic entity responsible for everyone else's glorious second chances in a fantasy world. Well, I am Truck-kun. Or, rather, I was. Turns out, being the universe's busiest reincarnation service comes with a mountain of cosmic paperwork, an aggressively cheerful HR department, and absolutely zero paid vacation. One catastrophic "System Overload" and an "Unplanned Recall" later, I, the professional harbinger of plot, found myself unexpectedly isekai'd. Not as an overpowered hero, mind you, but as "Leo": a squishy, bipedal human with a horrifyingly intact consciousness, a pulse (ugh), and a brand-new body that hurts when I think about it. My new "life" comes with a glaring, glitchy HUD. Apparently, I'm now a "MAJOR VILLAIN" with a primary directive to "CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE." Problem is, my powers—which basically turn me into a walking, accidental demolition derby—have a nasty habit of doing the exact opposite of villainy. I try to make a dramatic entrance, I accidentally save a bus full of orphans. I attempt grand larceny, I accidentally organize a charity bake sale. My "Villainy Points" are currently a dismal negative, while my "Hero Affection" keeps alarmingly skyrocketing. To make matters worse, the universe’s most annoyingly enthusiastic rookie hero, Solar Seeker (Warning: Excessive Hair Gel Usage), keeps showing up, convinced I'm some kind of misunderstood anti-hero. And don't even get me started on the system that keeps demanding I "commit an atrocity to continue" while simultaneously offering "Tax Evasion" as a villainous act. Meanwhile, the original Truck-kun (me, from another cosmic timeline) is still out there, rampaging across dimensions, causing the very reality I'm stuck in to glitch. So now, I, a former god of vehicular homicide, am stuck trying to be a villain, constantly failing upwards into accidental heroism, all while avoiding HR, actual villains, and the existential dread of having feet. Join Leo – the reluctant, burnt-out villain who just wants to clock out – as he navigates a world that refuses to let him be evil, proving that sometimes, the most spectacular failures lead to the most annoying amount of XP. Get ready for: System errors, accidental good deeds, heroes with bad knees, and a lot of grumpy monologuing.
