Hoze Hounds

In the grimy Black Hound Tavern, disgraced hunter Kael Veymar drowns his failures in ale, his father’s shattered crest a noose around his neck. When a Fallen beast attacks him—spewing acid and cryptic threats about the Harbinger—he’s saved by Lyria, a rogue huntress with a deadly smile and a glowing amulet: the Fractalis, stolen by Kael’s father. Their reunion is cut short by Dren, Kael’s former brother-in-arms, who slit Garrik’s throat for the Guild. After a vicious alley fight, Lyria helps Kael escape, but not before a Fallen’s ooze sears his flesh, leaving veins of corruption that **pulse with the Harbinger’s voice. Seeking answers, they flee to Ms. Miller, an old ally who gifts Kael a sword and a warning: "Find Torin. The skulls will whistle your name." But the Guild is closing in. At Celestis Rise Dren is humiliated for his failure, while the Dozen Vanguards receive a bone-chilling letter—its author dead, its ink fresh. The stakes sharpen: - The Fractalis is not what it seems. - And Garrik Veymar’s shadow stretches long from the grave. Now, Kael and Lyria ride toward Godsgrave, where Hunter blades go to die—and where the Harbinger’s eclipse waits to rise. join the books' discord server https://discord.gg/8aRszmmbwf

You are now able to Tame the Shadow Fang Hound with Dominance! You are now able to Tame the Brinewolf with Empathy Bonding Ritual! You are now able to Tame the Lightning Dragon with Soul-Synchronization! You have became the Hunter of the Abyss. Time to face the darkest part of the Dungeon. --- After drowning in a river while drunk, I suddenly wake up inside a Dungeon, surrounded by a complex ecosystem of magical and fantastical Beasts. Barely surviving an encounter with a massive black dog infused with Shadow energy, I manage to tame him thanks to a special skill in my eyes that can make me see few seconds in the future and see a Beast's weakness and stats. Making him my first companion in this strange, new world. I never imagined my life here would start like this. In this world, Dungeons are alive, creating magical Beasts that can be either helpful or dangerously destructive. My journey only becomes more intriguing when I cross paths with three adventurers with their own distinct personalities, talents, and mysterious backstories. Together, we embark on a shared adventure through dangerous Dungeons and unknown lands, facing everything from cunning bandits, mythical creatures with powerful abilities, and great secret that shaping this entire world. As we delve deeper into these magical realms, we uncover hidden secrets about the origin of this world and the forces driving them. Along the way, I tame creatures with unique powers (some of them can even manipulating time and space!) , face off against rival Tamers , and even discover abilities that hint at my own unexpected connection to this world. It turns out, my Transmigration was not just some random luck. But with each victory, new threats coming my fucking way. More powerful Beasts, more powerful rival adventurers who determined to claim the rarest Dungeons and its treasures, and whispers of a dark force that threatens not just us but the entire world. Little do I know, taming Beasts is only the beginning; a greater destiny awaits me further down the story. A test that will test my loyalty, courage, and the bond I share with the creatures that fight by my side. This is just the start of a journey through this uncharted fantasy lands, legendary Dungeons, and encounters with both friends and enemies. --- This story will be slow paced at the start. But will get better further. Give it a try. This story also included Harem, cause why not. But it will be later on.

(Author's note:It will include a system.) 2039 AD December 22, Alien Humanoids appeared, Domineer's they were, an advanced race, in technology and physicality. They're arrival brought fear to humanity and how right they were. Domineer's came with the intention of subjugating. Obviously Humanity fought back, modern military power held out, but were pushed back. Variants; they were called, The Death seeker, most commonly seen, the accelerates and tankers. Guns, were not fast enough to land a hit on Accelerates, missiles not powerful enough to damage a tanker, and humanity were not careful enough for Death Seeker's, time to time referred as hunters. Humanity scavenged the technology and integrated it into there current technology, but that took a century. 20 years too crasp the fundamental of there technology. Although due too the lack of resources it took 70 years to adapt it. That was when they attacked back and pushed back the Domineer's on there back foot, Humanity recovered a century and two decades past and focused on offensive technology. And humanity decided they would not wait for them to come back so they went on the offensive. But in there haste the Domineer's targeted there military bases, food suppliers and once more humanity was on the cliff. 200 years of humanity keeping a stagnant clash, then being pushed back. 2480 AD Humanity was losing hope such as a man who was protecting his people that were in a underground base, as it was a secret supplier, to numerous base's. This man fought against a Domineer. At the end of the battle the Domineer had holes in his body and half his face gone, and numerous scattered piece of earth protruding as spikes or broken walls, that was the first Meta, accounted for and was known as the start of the militaries strength. Two decades past and Humanity found a way to give and teach theses abilities through MG serum's (Meta-Gene serum's) and a GI (Gene-Index) which contained information on the Meta-Ability. Humanity fought harder and harder more and more, fiercer and fiercer. But Domineer's grew stronger aswell, with Darker armour. 2678 AD; Humanity was being pushed back as Domineer's appeared wearing armour with beast like features, These were Beast Equipment, Humanity in turn found life on other planets, Beast were what they found. Integrating beast weaponry into there power and Humanity became more powerful than thought. 2700 AD; 300 years before the treaty between Humanity and Domineer's were established, in the 8th or eighth Planetary War, a monster, an abomination attacked both sides and War Hero's killed and learned it was a hybrid Domineer and Human. And after many more decades. 3000 AD the treaty was made. and current time 3010 AD.

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please…don't do this,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. "But you chased me all the way back!" her lips met his crushing her mouth with a forceful kiss burning her up. She groaned trying to free herself but it was a futile attempt. Dragging her to bed as she tried another futile attempt to escape he stripped her with rough yet controlled hands. "You could've casted me out of there. Gotten married to your ex. You had a better choice given," he kissed her collarbone. " But here you are laying beneath me as it was that night. When you were just a clueless innocent virgin." he grinned sarcastically. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper still trying to move away from his touch. "It useless to defy me. Now this is the only place left for you." And he reclaimed her with burning passion rendering her attempts to refuse him and escape him futile. ----->>>>> Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But worse yet the man who she was supposed to be wedded was replaced by a more ruthless hound. A more agonizing revelation that he was a slave with empty title in name. The white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

In the shadows of Valeborne City, where neon lights hide the blood on the streets, power comes with a price. and betrayal is the only truth. Kaien was raised to be the perfect weapon. Born with the Key of Power Sigil, he can steal or destroy the powers of others with a single touch. The government calls him their strongest agent — the one they send when no one else can finish the job. His missions are simple: Hunt. Kill. Erase. But when the corpses of his enemies begin whispering secrets… When the last breaths of his targets speak of hidden crimes and lies… Kaien starts to see the cracks in the world he was sworn to protect. His team is gone — dead, betrayed, or erased. And as the Key of Power mark consumes more of him, Kaien will be forced to choose: Stay the government’s loyal hound… Or turn against everything he’s ever known, and bring their empire crashing down.In a city where everyone has scars, Kaien’s will be the deepest.

He was born as bastard to a noble family… and treated like a stray dog. Powerless and talentless. Exiled by his family due to his incompetence he goes through an incident so traumatizing he will never forget. Now, with the grotesque heart that pulses with something far more dangerous than blood, he walks the halls of a swordmaster’s academy. Not for glory. Not for revenge. But to survive. Haunted by whispers, drawn to violence, and rejected by the very world he tried to belong to, he begins his quiet struggle for redemption. Because somewhere in that cursed heartbeat... He still wants to be seen. He still wants to be loved. And maybe... that’s what will make him the most dangerous of all.

In the grim, industrial city of Ironhaven, Kael lives a quiet life sorting scrap, his true identity as the Absolute Origin, the architect of the universe, a fragmented memory. He possesses an unnerving calm and occasionally exhibits impossible feats of luck or subtle reality manipulation that draw the attention of a disgraced knight, Elara Vane, a cynical street rogue, Jax, and a cursed scholar, Seraphina Bellweather, who senses his profound, ancient power. As Kael’s divine abilities begin to surface more overtly, often in response to direct threats, he goes from an unknown commoner to a figure of awe, terror, and intense scrutiny. He effortlessly neutralizes Sump assassins like Silas Darkharrow and the even more formidable Wraith Hound, dismantles the machinations of the arrogant Master Alchemist Vorlag Krell, and in a cataclysmic display, annihilates an army of monstrous Skitter-Horrors that threaten the city, revealing a glimpse of his true, godlike power before vanishing into a subterranean Sanctum of Origin. His reappearance, now as a "consultant" in Seraphina's shop of magical curiosities, only deepens the mystery. Kael attempts to maintain a facade of detached normalcy, offering cryptic pronouncements and casually manipulating ancient artifacts while his companions (a burgeoning, unconventional group including Elara, Seraphina, and a reluctant Jax) try to understand his motives and the cosmic implications of his presence. Hunted by terrified city authorities like Commander Stern, observed by the now-cautious Sump, and drawing the attention of entities beyond Ironhaven, Kael's journey is one of rediscovering his own nature, the burden of his power, and the reason for his incarnation. Interwoven with epic displays of divine might, intensely choreographed battles, shocking reactions from onlookers, and moments of unexpected (often deadpan) comedy, the story explores themes of overwhelming power, cosmic mystery, fate, and the surprising emergence of human-like connections in an entity beyond mortal comprehension. Each confrontation pushes Kael further towards reclaiming his godhood, with the fate of Ironhaven, and potentially the multiverse, hanging in the balance. The narrative blends thrilling action and god-tier power displays with character-driven emotional arcs and a developing, unconventional harem dynamic.

Since a young age, Su Qing already knew she was adopted and that her adopted parents didn’t like her. Hence, she learned to be independent as a child and became quite aloof. Aside from being slightly warmer toward her grandmother who she had lived with, she was indifferent to everyone else. Fearful that Su Qing’s mental health might be affected after her grandmother’s death, the doctors helped Su Qing find her biological parents and threatened them into taking Su Qing back. However, once Su Qing returned to Su Manor, she was immediately cornered by her five older brothers, all warning her not to get too close to them! Su Qing, who held no expectations for the Su family, chose to ignore them. To everyone’s surprise, after a certain period of time, these five brothers seemed to have changed and kept hounding Su Qing. Big Brother: This luxury mansion is for you. Do you like it? Second Brother: I heard you like sports cars. I just acquired this company, so just tell them what kind of sports car you like and they’ll make it for you. Third Brother: There’s a hundred million yuan in this card. Just ask me for more if this isn’t enough. Fourth Brother, carrying his laptop: I have scandals on everyone. You can see them all! Popular hunk Fifth Brother: I’ll scold whoever bullies you with my main social media account! When a man, who was kicked under the bed the first time they met, appeared at Su Manor’s door, asking Su Qing to proceed with their marriage as promised, all five brothers flew into a rage. “Scram! She’s our sister!” The man said, “Excuse me, she’s my wife.”

As the dinosaurs awaken and adapt to a world that was never theirs, the real danger isn't their teeth and claws, but humanity, which once again believes itself capable of playing God.

Banished. Betrayed. Sold in chains. Now, she wears diamond and wields vengeance. Nesrin Draeven was born to rule, the first daughter of a powerful Alpha, heir to a legacy steeped in dominance and pride. But envy is a sharp thing. Her sister stole her birthright. Her father cast her out like filth. Her mate rejected her before the entire pack. Stripped of her name and dignity, Nesrin is branded a traitor and auctioned at the infamous Blood Market, where rare females are sold to warlords and cruel kings. She expected pain. Submission. Death. She didn’t expect Kavish Trevance. Feared across kingdoms, the King of Hounds commands shadows, beasts, and killers with a glance. A monster in a crown, ruthless, revered, and cold-blooded. To most, he’s terror. To Nesrin, he’s opportunity. Kavish doesn’t want a concubine. He wants a partner in power. A queen forged from spite and fury. And he offers her a choice: Ruin them and he’ll make her royalty. Sleep in his bed and he’ll give her the world. She meant to use him, to carve a bloody path back to everything she lost. But nothing about Kavish is simple. He touches her like she’s sacred. Protects her like she’s priceless. And when the mate bond awakens, her weaponized heart becomes her most dangerous enemy. Now Nesrin must decide: burn the world for revenge, or surrender to the fire consuming them both. A disgraced she-wolf. A brutal Alpha King. One throne. One bond. And a love that just might ruin them both.

In the glittering, snake-infested court of Ignis, where power was a double-edged sword and loyalty a rare gem, Selanthia Amaris Nyxveil stood as a legend cloaked in infamy. Known by many names—*The Hound of the Emperor*, **The Cursed Sword*, **The Witch of Nyxveil*, and *The Abandoned One*—she was a weapon forged by duty and sharpened by betrayal. For forty long years, she served as the Emperor’s blade, cutting down threats to the throne with ruthless precision. Yet, behind the cold steel and the icy gaze, Selanthia harbored no love for the crown or the vipers who surrounded it. She was a woman bound by fate, not choice. At 48, weary of the endless machinations of the court, Selanthia chose to retire. With no family to call her own, she left behind the gilded cage of Ignis for the simplicity of the countryside. Her dreams were modest: to bake sweet treats, tend to chickens, lose herself in books she’d never had time to read, and find solace in the quiet rhythm of church prayers. A peaceful, ordinary life—a stark contrast to the blood-stained path she had walked for decades. But fate, it seemed, had other plans. Just 28 hours into her newfound tranquility, Selanthia’s life was brutally cut short. Poisoned and attacked in the dead of night, she breathed her last beneath a cold, uncaring sky. Her final thoughts were not of vengeance or regret for the life she had led, but of the life she had never known. She wished for love, for a kind and handsome partner, for children whose laughter might have filled the void in her heart. She wished she had never taken up the sword, that she might have written a different ending to her tale. Yet, death was not the end. Selanthia awoke not in the afterlife but in a world both familiar and strange. Perched high in a cherry blossom tree, she was greeted by the voice of Rina, her long-dead confidante. Now, thrust into a bewildering new reality, Selanthia must unravel the threads of this strange second chance. Is this a cruel jest of the gods, a dream spun from her dying regrets, or something far more sinister? And why, of all people, THAT MAN—who disappeared without a word— is entangling with her always? As the petals of the cherry blossoms fall around her, Selanthia finds herself caught in a web of mystery, romance, and perhaps, redemption. But in this enchanted new life, where nothing is as it seems, can she unravel the twist of life brought forward by THAT MAN? Or will the shadows of her past rise to claim her once more?

My quest for financial independence began with ambition but nearly ended in ruin. Desperate to escape the grind of traditional investments, I plunged headfirst into cryptocurrency, lured by stories of overnight wealth. With no prior experience, I committed $800,000 to a platform that radiated credibility: polished interfaces, “verified” testimonials, and persuasive brokers who swore returns would dwarf my risks. What I didn’t admit even to myself was how much I’d gambled. The investment wasn’t just my savings; I’d even taken a loan, mortgaging my future to fuel this dream. For months, dashboards showed soaring profits, and I celebrated prematurely, believing I’d cracked the code to prosperity. But when I tried to withdraw funds, the nightmare began. Endless delays. Opaque fees. Then, radio silence. The platform vanished overnight, leaving me stranded. Reality struck like a physical blow: I’d been scammed. My savings were gone, and the debt I’d taken on loomed like a guillotine. The aftermath was catastrophic. Creditors hounded me. Shame gnawed at my sanity. How could I explain this to my family? To myself? I’d risked everything even borrowed beyond my means to chase a mirage. The weight of failure dragged me into a pit of despair. Sleep became impossible. I’d stare at my phone, willing the scammers to reply, while suicidal whispers taunted me: This is how it ends. A friend intervened, urging me to contact RAPID DIGITAL RECOVERY...Whatsapp: +1 4 14 80 71 4 85..

Varfaún is on the brink of war. The once great kingdom now rots under the rule of King Arrand Galborn, a tyrant whose hunger for power has twisted the land and its people. His armies march under a banner of blood, and in the blackened depths beneath his fortress, something far more sinister stirs. Delwyn Aldsund was once Galborn’s sworn bodyguard, until she betrayed him.
