Some exist with pride, others struggle with pride, some compete with pride, and there are those who fail with pride, but very few can walk away with pride. Congratulations, for as you read these lines, you have witnessed the whole lives of many great basketball players. This pronunciation was embodied when Stephen Curry, after facing defeat in 2021, claimed that no one would want to face them the following season; When Tim Duncan was convinced before the start of the 2014 Finals that they would not mess up; When Kobe Bryant promised at Old Buss's memorial to take the Lakers to the playoffs; When Nowitzki, shedding his label as a soft player, retreated to the locker room in tears at night; When Kevin Garnett let out a skyward howl after holding the championship trophy; When the 2004 Detroit Pistons won and the F4 Lakers lost… Our story begins in an era when pride still mattered.

Nova scrambled backwards, panting hard, her short locks clinging to her damp forehead as she watched this predator stalk towards her. The vibrant and lively forest hushed, almost holding its breath to watch the scene unfold. Great, she had an audience for what would surely be a gruesome death. Death looked... a little... rugged and in nothing but a loin cloth, defined by slabs of muscle, a trail of hair leading down to such a small piece of cloth to hide a large- A spine-chilling growl snapped her gaze back up to meet his golden-red eyes, fiery, and intense, glaring at Nova as he slammed his hands either side of her head. Pieces of bark crumbled down from the impact. "I told you not to run..." He threatened, his eyes piercing hers, his voice more guttural than she'd heard from any male. His eyes clenched shut as his body trembled. "My instinct is to always stalk, always chase... until I get what I want.." Their faces were inches apart. She could feel his hot breath fanning her face. The forest was humid and hot, and his body was so close to hers that it was almost unbearable. The gruff voice, those words and the intensity of those eyes that reminded her of sunsets caused goosebumps to flourish across her arms. "What do you want?" Nova swallowed, not recognising her voice. She was so out of her depth. His chest rumbled, and more bark crumbled down from behind her head. "You..." Her breath hitched. "To. Do. As. You're. Told." - Paradise was what Nova Winslow was promised when her boyfriend whisked her away to Isla De Tayun, the perfect getaway for their busy lives. It was untouched, pristine, a hidden gem. But it had remained that way for a reason. The island doesn’t want visitors. And neither do the natives. What should have been a romantic retreat, drinking from coconuts and lounging on white-sandy beaches together, turns into a holiday from hell. Mid-argument with her soon-to-be ex, Nova stumbles into a lake. When she resurfaces, her boyfriend, the path she came from, and the resort have vanished. Alone, stranded, and with little survival skills, Nova has only a wet phone with no signal, a pair of heels, and an irrational fear of bats—which are everywhere. She is out of her depth when she falls into a mystical world of beasts. Hunted by tribesmen, stalked by beasts that shouldn't exist, and hearing animals speak, she has no choice but to trust the wild beast the forest itself fears—Yoa, a wanted man. Together, they flee the tribes pursuing them all while battling her growing attraction to Yoa. Can she survive the wild and make it back to her civilised life? Or will she lose herself to the untamed world—and to the man who belongs to it? #Beast #Ssssteamy #Adventure #Mythical #R18 -- THERE WILL BE MATURE CONTENT!! -- If you are enjoying the story, please vote with a power stone, leave comments and review! -- Cover Image: In the middle of getting one commissioned.

Emily Bright is a reserved medical laboratory scientist with a peculiar fascination for the microscopic world of body fluids. Her life is a monochrome routine of lab work and lonely evenings spent admiring art she believes she'll never create.

As Dominic’s fame skyrockets and their relationship deepens, the lines blur between inspiration, obsession, and love. In a whirlwind of passion, fame, and self-discovery, Emily must decide: Can she embrace the chaos of Dominic’s world, or will she retreat to the safety of her own? The Art and Science of Mad Attraction is a sweeping tale of ambition, obsession, and the unpredictable nature of love, where logic meets creativity and two contrasting souls find themselves inexplicably drawn together.

The prolonged war among supernatural beings had plagued their world for generations, with the vampires pushing aggressively to the borders of the werewolf kingdom, ruthlessly slaughtering wolves in their path. After his father's death, Zion assumed the mantle of his father and joined the frontlines of battle. After three grueling years, the werewolves finally drove the vampires back, forcing them to retreat to their lands in defeat. Zion and the brave warriors who fought alongside him returned to their territories as heroes, celebrated and warmly welcomed. When Addison heard of Zion's impending return, she devoted herself to preparing an elaborate welcome banquet, organizing every detail over the two weeks leading up to his arrival. Although her marriage to Zion had originally been one of convenience, rooted in her deep gratitude to the former Alpha who had saved her life, she had since fallen for Zion. His powerful presence, charismatic leadership, and striking appearance had won her over, and from the moment she offered herself as his mate, she had accepted him wholeheartedly as her Alpha and mate. The long-awaited return of Zion and his warriors was met with jubilant celebration. Pack members gathered at the borders, eager to welcome their hero, Alpha, and his brave fighters. Addison, too, stood among them, filled with anticipation and genuine happiness at seeing Zion again. But as the pack caught sight of their Alpha, the largest of the wolves approaching with fur as dark as midnight, Addison’s heart froze—on his back sat a pregnant woman. For werewolves, it was well-known that only mates were allowed to ride in their wolf form, and seeing this woman there, visibly expecting, spoke volumes. Addison’s heart tightened painfully, yet she fought to maintain her composure, choosing to receive Zion and his entourage with a warm and gracious smile. Despite her efforts, Zion dismissed her completely, his attention solely on the woman as he tenderly guided her from his back and into the heart of their home. When all was said and done, but Addison still received nothing but contempt and hatred, she decided to leave. But why did Zion react so strongly? "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface.

--- Ariana was rooted to the floor outside of Anthony’s door her heart raced in her chest, like something was preparing to break apart her ribs. She had not wanted to come to a halt, much less listen in on the conversation that was unfolding before her. But the sound of laughter that came from Rachel was not new to her ears which suddenly had her face the direction of the voice like a pupet. “…you’re so bad, Anthony,” Rachel whispered sexily. “I never lie to you,” Anthony countered sullenly then suddenly grew smarmy, “I’m only bad with you.” Reaching out Ariana braced her back against the wall and her mind whirled round with confusion. Glancing around the corner she stopped breathing as she saw them. Rachel resting on Anthony laps, having her hand resting on Anthony’s arm. He leered at her, and from even his bearing suggest that he wanted something more than friendship from her. “She has not realized it yet?” Rachel asked me in low tones as if Shareen was a hopeless case. Anthony chuckled. “He realized Ariana was smart, as well as trusting in his team. That’s her weakness.” Such words are a shock for Ariana as if someone slapped her. [His fists clenched.]His hands shook, and for a moment she considered; she felt that nausea could overcome herself. Trust. That was what she had delivered to them – what she considered they deserved. And now? Now they were laughing about it, about her . She wanted to rush into the room and meet them eye to eye, look them into the eyes and scold them for every single angry word that rises within her chest. But she didn’t move. Not yet. She held a strap of her bag so tightly her hands became gloved. Indeed, she retreated sensibly, her breathing becoming light. It was not so strange they did not notice her go ; of course they did not. Why would they, if they reckoned she did not know any better? And when she came to the door of the house, shutting herself out on the cold evening, when the wind caressed her cheek like a slate, then in her soul something leaped. The heartbreak was still there, but it was buried beneath a wave of something new,rage. But she paused and with her head held high she walked away leaving her legs give away from her. The frosty night’s darkness embraced her when she tripped outside, onto the campus and grass., but the freezing air was no match for the icy sensation in her chest. She began to ponder vigorously various questions, accusations and processes of retaliation in her mind. But she didn’t see the car. This blaring of the horn was too late. There was the pathetic squealing of brakes and a moment of unbearable agony that filled her from head to toe. The world staggered, and the last thing Ariana could make out before everything went black was the night sky above her. Everything went black. ---

On the Stellar Ascension Continent, mysterious meteorites periodically fall from the sky, bringing strange energy and advanced technology with them. A hundred years ago, a pitch-black meteorite crashed in the western lands, unleashing hordes of monstrous Shadowbeast. Humanity was forced to retreat eastward, barely managing to survive. In the years that followed, an army of Supernaturals rose to drive back the Shadowbeast and establish the Human Federation, building twenty fortress cities to reclaim their homeland. Eighteen years ago, an anomaly appeared over Delta Stratos City: a violet beam of light shot across the sky from the east, illuminating the Chase Clan. On that very night, a child named Leon Chase was born. This phenomenon shook the entire Federation, and many believed that the newborn would one day change the world. Ten years ago, at the age of eight, Leon Chase underwent an ability assessment, only to be declared a "Powerless One." The boy, once linked to the legendary violet light, turned out to have no special abilities, shocking the world. That same year, the Purple Star fell into a mining pit outside Linjiang City, triggering a massive disaster. The city's walls crumbled, and waves of Shadowbeast poured in. The Chase Clan, once the most powerful family in Delta Stratos City, mobilized to defend the city but was betrayed and slaughtered by rival families. By the time the battle ended, the once-mighty Chase Clan had been erased from history. Now, ten years later, the so-called "Powerless One," Leon Chase, returns to the stage. This time, he will shake the world!

But one day, a supernova struck their planet, making it uninhabitable for hundreds of thousands of years and killing almost all life on its surface.

Haunted by glimpses of a woman with an umbrella and a past he cannot fully grasp, Shin embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the truth behind Project Revenant, a sinister experiment that created superhuman warriors.

She was the perfect daughter, shaping herself into whatever they wanted her to be. A flawless doll. A beautiful mask. She learned every smile, every move, playing her part without a single mistake, because this part of her life wasn’t hers... it was theirs. But not forever. One day, she would break free. No one would control her future or tell her who to become. She would be the one writing her own story. Yet, just as her plans were finally falling into place, everything started to crumble. One problem after another, surprises she never saw coming, and people who kept showing up in her life, no matter how many times she tried to push them away. Her life had always been hard, but these sudden changes pulled her into a storm she never asked for, making her question the very path she thought she was set on. Like a caterpillar fighting to build its cocoon, she is struggling to change. But deep down, she knows that once she breaks free, she will be a butterfly, ready to rise and fly higher than ever before. … “Let me tell you now, your kindness? I don’t need it. What you offer? I don’t want it. And a piece of advice, be careful with your kindness. It might bring pain to those you wish to protect, rather than support.” She turned her back, leaving him standing there, watching her retreat into the distance. … "Because I was like her once—filled with guilt. Those were the words I needed to hear, the ones I gave up hoping for long ago." He looked at her, his gaze softening with sympathy. “And you don’t seem like someone who’s ready to free herself from that guilt.” “Someday, maybe. But not yet. Not just yet.” “When that time comes,” he asked gently. “Will you tell me first?” She paused, meeting his eyes before a faint smile touched her lips. “I suppose I can do that much.” … “Whatever I’ve been through, no matter how difficult, I’m proud of it. I’ll never feel ashamed of the things I’ve done to reach this point.” She cupped his cheek, her touch gentle but firm. “So don’t feel bad for me. Be proud of me. While you weren’t there, you were always on my mind. You gave me the strength to keep going. Remember that.” He leaned into her hand, his voice quiet. “Then tell me… tell me everything you’ve experienced.” Currently 7 chapters a week... Another 2 for every 100 power stones mark...

In a dark alley, obscured from the prying eyes of people, the muffled grunts of a shadowy figure beaten to a pulp were barely visible. Four hooded figures were standing around the bloody figure on the ground as he looked up in hate. Kraign struggled to his feet, his face mangled beyond recognition. "All of you idiots shall pay. THE WORLD WILL BURN!! "Boss, I think he's gone mad, we should leave", one of the hooded figures said on a low voice. "Was thinking the same thing", the shortest hooded figure replied, retreating with his crew, leaving the boy in the ground, barely breathing. As death drew near, things all went wrong.

Elias Voss is a 21st-century economics student trapped in the body of Lorenzo di Civita , a debt-ridden spice trader in the oligarchic republic of Valenzo . In a world where merchant guilds control every aspect of trade—from silk roads to alchemical patents—Lorenzo’s only inheritance is a ramshackle stall and a death threat from the powerful Casa di Ferro guild. But Lorenzo has a weapon his enemies can’t fathom: modern economics . Using concepts like supply-chain optimization, futures markets, and decentralized networks, he begins smuggling contraband spices through pirate-infested waters, undercutting guild monopolies. As he recruits a ragtag alliance of sailors, alchemists, and disgraced nobles, Lorenzo’s shadow economy ignites a rebellion. Yet the guilds strike back. Assassins stalk his crew. A rival trader, Seraphina Contarini (heiress to a shipping dynasty), toys with him in a deadly game of romance and sabotage. Worse, Lorenzo’s innovations catch the eye of Duke Aurelio , the ailing republican leader, who sees in him a pawn to destabilize foreign rivals. When Lorenzo’s closest ally is publicly executed for heresy, he faces a choice: retreat to his newfound wealth or gamble everything to dismantle the guilds’ stranglehold. But as his revolution gains momentum, he realizes the greatest threat isn’t the oligarchs—it’s the vacuum of power he’ll leave behind.

The Exo Primevals were forced to retreat, doing what they could to salvage what remained of their worlds. Countless lives were lost. Centuries passed, and Kael’s icy prison eventually shattered. The strongest human—or what used to be—woke up in a future he barely recognized. Learning that the Anthi-Org won, Kael is now driven by revenge. He vows to find the one who betrayed him and finish what he started. The war may be lost, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be reignited. --- Additional Tags: Cold blooded protagonist, Smut, S*x Scenes, Antihero, *sshole Protagonist and more, mainly for flexibility.

Minsu soon uncovers that her aunt, who disappeared without a word when Minsu was still in high school, had been involved in a dangerous pact with dark forces. Her aunt's sudden departure wasn't a simple escape—it was an attempt to shield Minsu from a curse that now seems to have followed her home.

"My fiance has a change of heart. Your fiance isn't in love with you. Why don't we get together and get married instead?" Natalia spoke without a hint of irony to the mysterious man—the embodiment of elegance as the man stood at the entrance to the cathedral under an umbrella on a rainless, cloudy day.

Long ago, an ancient war shattered humanity’s path to godhood. The world tree, once the bridge to other realms, lies broken, and the elder races have vanished, retreating from an unseen terror that still lingers. In this fractured world, Arthur, the descendant of a long-forgotten bloodline, wielding the power of the legendary fifth element, embarks on a perilous quest. But he is not alone - joined by powerful allies of mysterious origins and extraordinary powers, they set out to unravel the secrets of their origin and their world. They awaken forces beyond their understanding. Gods, demons, and legendary beasts stir from their slumber, and the truth they seek may reshape, or doom the world.

The year 2025, the heavens betrayed humanity. A Red Star tore through the sky, its burning fragments raining down upon Earth like divine judgment. Continents fractured under the cataclysmic impact, oceans froze into endless icy wastelands, and the skies burned crimson with perpetual twilight. The Red Star didn’t just destroy—it awakened. In its wake, shards of alien energy infused survivors with unimaginable powers. Titans rose, flames danced at fingertips, swarms obeyed silent commands, and portals opened to realms unknown. These Awakened warriors were both saviors and harbingers, their gifts as much a curse as salvation. But the Red Star’s arrival was only the beginning. From beyond the void came horrors—twisted creatures born of corruption, feeding on humanity like cattle. And if these monsters weren’t enough, betrayal struck closer to home. The Western nations, once pillars of progress and unity, crumbled under fear. Desperate for survival, they forged unholy alliances with the invaders, selling out their own kind to monstrous overlians. Cities fell silent, their streets haunted by traitors and shadows. To the East, the empires sealed their borders, retreating behind walls of secrecy. Their silence echoed louder than any declaration of war. Only the Middle Lands stood defiant. From the deserts of North Africa to the savannahs of the south, the people of the Middle Lands refused to kneel.

The Dungeon. A harsh world where death is a constant companion. Powerful monsters roam freely, and every element, terrain, flora, and environment, conspires to eliminate intruders. The moment you step inside, there are no guarantees for your life. Many lose their sanity before their bodies give out, and even if they manage to survive, only a rare few escape unscathed. ...At least, that’s how it’s supposed to be. "Alright, let's have another fun day of solo camping!" Deep within the uncharted depths of an S-Rank Dungeon, a man casually streams his solo camping adventures. The man’s name is Shahzad. *** - "Wait, hold on. Did he just say he cleared forty floors of an S-Rank Dungeon? That’s a world first, isn’t it?" - "He just casually drops groundbreaking information like it’s nothing. This is why I can’t stop watching his streams!" - "Why does he never look at the comments? He always just streams one-sidedly!" - "Wait, did he just hunt a Three-Head? By himself? That’s the kind of monster even A-Rank parties immediately retreat from!" - "What even is this guy?" *** Every time Shahzad streams, the entire world is thrown into chaos. Yet, for some reason, the man himself seems blissfully unaware. Just who is he, really?
