Rusty Cage Soundgarden

Break the loop — or be erased forever. Once every century, the world resets. Memories wiped. Histories buried. Lives rewritten. The “Arks” aren’t sanctuaries—they’re cages disguised as hope. Behind them, a shadow force—AGI-ST—orchestrates the loop, seeking absolute dominion. But this time, Shawn Mercer, a lost traveler from the Originverse, remembers. And he’s ready to shatter everything. Across parallel worlds, he searches for the sealed Elemental Cores. Within the fractures of space, he hunts down the lost Meta Matrix Fragments. Relentless forces pursue him. His memories are fracturing. Will humanity evolve— or be perfected into silence?

He’s cold. Ruthless. A mafia prince with a heart locked in ice. She’s broke. Beautiful. And in the wrong place at the wrong time. When Rose, a struggling bar girl, gets hit by a sleek black car outside work, she thinks her life is over. But the man behind the wheel isn’t just dangerous—he’s Luca Moretti, heir to the deadliest mafia empire in New York. Born in blood. Raised in silence. Luca doesn’t love. Doesn’t feel. Until her. Rose is everything he should avoid. But one glance into her tearful, fire-filled eyes… and he can’t stay away. Now she’s trapped in his world—where love is weakness, betrayal is death, and obsession is a cage. Can Rose survive a man who was never meant to love? Or will Luca burn down his entire empire just to keep her?

Melinda in a few short days has her life upended, she is sold at an underground auction, and what begins as rescue, fueled by the obsession of a wealthy woman, spirals into possession. Quickly protection crumbles into control. It becomes clear that there's a thin line between being wanted... and being owned she just can't find. What begins as an escape from danger turns into a prison lined with luxury, guilt, and slowly blooming desire. As Melinda struggles to reclaim her life, she uncovers secrets buried deep in the women's past-dead lovers, laundered fortunes, and an obsession that might have started long before their first meeting. Caught between suffocating love (or lust) and manipulation, Melinda must choose: stay in the safety of a gilded cage, or risk everything for freedom that may no longer exist.

A young albino girl who fulfilled her dream. A wild son who ran away from his father. A beauty, confident in her permissiveness. A scampish country guy looking for himself in life. And the old beast in the cage... This camp shift will change their lives forever! Or destroy them.

So picture this: you wake up in a rusty, beetle-shaped contraption sliding sideways across a murder-dune in a place called Scarragon. Your shoulder is basically shredded toast, your memory's fuzzy, and there’s absolutely no customer service in sight. That was Grahilo’s morning. Then things got weird. After limping through the desert like a very angry tumbleweed, he spots a glowing green orb chilling in the sand like it’s waiting for a meet-cute. The orb hypnotizes him. Forces him to swallow it. Cue excruciating cosmic body reboot. There’s screaming, convulsing, and then—boom. New upgrade unlocked: silver hair, neon eyes, and gamma veins that look like someone installed a nuclear reactor in his circulatory system. After that? He tests out his fancy powers. Accidentally punches the ground so hard it opens an ancient ruin. Then he raises his hand and materializes a black dagger with green runes and “probably haunted” vibes. Grahilo officially levels up from "lost desert guy" to "walking superhero origin story." Kirigaar, the city that kicked him out like last season's leftovers? They’re about to regret that. Grahilo vows to leave Scarragon completely and start fresh in a new country. One small problem: the country is dealing with portal chaos. Monsters, energy signatures, things that snarl and break physics. Naturally, Grahilo decides to join the local defense force. And while he might not understand the rules, he’s got glowing eyes, punch magic, and void daggers. He’s the guy they didn’t ask for—but might just need. Expect mystical relics, combat training, teammates who aren’t sure if he's a threat or a miracle, and one gamma-born outcast rewriting his fate with every sarcastic thought and every step forward.

He was born to dominate. She was trained to tame. In a kingdom where Alphas are banished from cities and treated as beasts, he’s the most lethal one ever captured. Savage, uncontrollable, and caged. And enters the Alpha tamer, with a scent that weakens him and a stare that cuts deeper than claws, the omega becomes his tormentor… and his obsession. But when hatred turns to heat, and chains begin to feel like fate, who will break first—the beast or the beauty?

"Each betrayal leaves a scar… and hers ran the deepest.” Once, Aveline Laurent gave her heart to Damien Ashford - the man who promised her a future, only to cage her with sweet lies. She endured it all with a smile… until fate dragged her back to the very beginning. Now, with a second chance hanging by a fragile thread, Aveline returns. Not to plead, but to punish.
 Not to forget, but to make him remember. But revenge is never simple. The path is fraught with shadows—and an unlikely ally–Alaric Lancaster–whose loyalties remain as mysterious as his gaze. ~~~ This is an original story. Thank you ^_^ for giving it a try.

Noor ul Huda is a 19-year-old university student living a life she never chose. Orphaned and unwanted, she's trapped in her aunt’s house—caged in a tiny store room, forced to do all the housework, and barely holding on to the dream of finishing her degree. She doesn’t ask for much—just peace, respect, and a chance to build her own future. But life doesn’t give her peace. It gives her Mujtaba Aalim Khan. He’s 28. A ruthless billionaire on the surface, an underground mafia leader in the shadows. Cold, calculating, and dangerous — he’s a man who gets what he wants. And what he wants… Is her.

When the night came, there was a twittering sound in his ears, and the monster in the shadow began to move restlessly. Jason’s hungry stomach began to roar, and he couldn’t help swallowing saliva. Hunger is the best spur.

The Werewolf game in the story is different from your imagination.It contains violence,bloody and bullying content, but it will not be overly described. Please feel free to watch it. Parents can accompany you if necessary. I was imprisoned for the death of my daughter. I thought what awaited me was regret—and a cage. But there was a chance for me to turn things around. The rules are simple: play a game of Werewolf. The winner walks free. The losers vanish, forever. Each night, the game begins. A sealed amusement park, a mysterious device, a group of untrusting inmates. Someone lies. Someone manipulates. The Sorcerer swaps identities—but can never trade away betrayal. I don’t know who to trust. I don’t even know if I’m still alive. Because this isn’t just a game of Werewolf— It’s a war of human nature. I guarantee you won't be able to guess the ending until the end.

This is not a love story. There is no romance between a mafia and his prisoner. There is only obsession. Hatred. And revenge. No tenderness. No sympathy. Just two broken creatures clawing at each other inside a cage of madness. In this world, love doesn’t survive. It gets devoured. ...

Isolde’s mission seems simple—find proof of Severin’s crimes, then escape. But everything begins to crumble when Severin, a man driven by obsession and violence, sees her as the reflection of a woman from his past. The deeper Isolde sinks into his world, the more she realizes she’s not the first woman Lucien has sent—he’s sent many before her, and all of them have died at Severin’s hands without leaving a trace. To survive, Isolde has only one option is deceive the monster. But when lies turn into attachment, and the disguise becomes dependence, she must choose to be the next victim, or become the queen of Severin’s hell.

I used to think love was supposed to feel like butterflies. Like racing heartbeats, late-night calls, and someone finally looking at me like I was their whole world. At sixteen, I thought I found it ... my first love, my first kiss, my first time feeling chosen. But being “chosen” came with questions, rules, and red flags I didn’t want to see. And by the time I realized love could feel more like a cage than a dream, it was already too late. Years later, I’m still searching for something real. Something that isn’t temporary, something that doesn’t make me feel invisible or “almost.” Because that’s what I’ve always been. The almost girlfriend. The almost forever. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Year 2045. The blood-sucking creatures known as the Upiri rule the world. Twenty years after humanity’s defeat, the world is a gilded cage. The Upiri reign from towering spires; humans survive in the neon gutters below, their blood a currency. A masked swordsman drifts through this fractured era. No name. No past. Only a blade that should not exist, and a silence that speaks louder than words. When the last embers of rebellion ignite, he becomes the unlikely fulcrum between species. The Upiri call him Alterum-the Other. But in a dying world, to be the Other is to be either salvation… or annihilation.

Freedom was all she wanted. Instead, she found him. Aveline thought she knew pain. She thought she knew what it meant to survive. But when she’s forced to leave behind everything she’s ever known, she finds herself in the hands of Dominic Cross a cold, powerful man who never pretends to be kind. He offers her safety, but it comes with rules. He offers her shelter, but it feels like a cage. As days blur into nights, secrets were unveiled and the walls between them start crumble, Aveline begins to question everything including herself. Because the most dangerous chains aren't made of iron. They're the ones you start to miss.

Alaric was just your average cynical gamer who spent way too much time finding broken combos in video games. One wrong step and a tangled headset cord later… boom, he's dead. Now reincarnated in a classic fantasy world, he’s ready to min-max his way to greatness. There’s just one problem. His cheat skill? ‘Basic Material Refinement.’ D-Rank. Utter garbage. Except… it’s not. Turns out, Alaric can purify junk so thoroughly it becomes absurdly powerful. A rusty nail becomes a needle that pierces enchanted steel. Slime goo becomes world-breaking glue. He’s crafting divine-tier artifacts out of literal trash, and no one knows how he’s doing it. Add in his sarcastic inner monologue, a dangerously theory-obsessed brain, and a habit of accidentally looking like a hero while failing miserably at being a pervert—and you’ve got a totally broken protagonist in a world that's clearly not ready for him. He’s not here to save the world. He’s here to break it. One trash item at a time.

“Did I seriously reincarnate as a prince..?” Felix was reincarnated as Lindarion Sunblade, a prince of Eldorath, destined for greatness—or so they say. In a world where magic and swordsmanship rule. True power is everything, and the strong shape history. But strength isn’t given, it’s earned. With a System awakening within him, one that pushes his limits with deadly quests sometimes, helps him with skills, he refuses to be just another noble in a gilded cage. Trials await, enemies lurk in the shadows, and even among his own kind, power breeds conflict. But he will rise. Not just as a prince—but as a ruler, a warrior, and a legend over the entire world.

Gabriel Lopez never planned to stand out. With a rusty old bicycle and a heavy heart, he rides through the streets of Bulacan just to escape the noise of home and the laughter of bullies. But when a mysterious stranger sees something extraordinary in his riding, Gabriel is pulled into a world of racing and secrets. What starts as a simple ride becomes the beginning of a journey he never asked for but might just change everything.

Seraphina Nightingale Nightshade was never the heroine. She wasn’t the villainess either—just a disposable step-sister, murdered by the brother who lost everything when the true heroine rejected him. She should have stayed dead. But in a world where magic means survival and only the rare-born Mer can bear life, Seraphina’s soul was never meant to rot in silence. She was a sealed god in human skin—until someone broke her cage. Now she’s back. Time fractures. Fate howls. And the girl who once died unnoticed rises to unmake the story that discarded her. By her side are the forgotten men—each bound by secrets, sins, and promises they were never allowed to keep. She is their moon, yes. But she is no gentle light. She is Polaris—the cold star that guides hunters through the dark. Pray you are not her prey.

Nine has been freed from one prison just to enter another one. Can she battle her way through a world dominated by vampires to gain her freedom, or will she remained caged forever by her so called rescuers?
