Raiden Ei Asmr

At Tokyo Metropolitan University, where cherry blossoms fall like unspoken words, Nakamura Kenji moves through life with quiet precision and invisible armor. Brilliant, distant, and utterly alone, he believes silence is survival—until one fight behind a lecture hall cracks that silence open. As rumors swirl and unwanted attention grows, Kenji finds himself drawn into a quiet orbit with two unlikely figures: Tanaka Hiroshi, a popular but grounded classmate who sees more than he lets on, and Sae Takahashi, a sharp-eyed literature major whose red scarf hides her own bruised history. But connection is dangerous for someone who’s spent years building walls instead of bridges. And kindness, once dismissed as a trap, begins to feel alarmingly real. A slow-burn character drama about emotional scars, unexpected friendship, and what happens when three lonely people stop walking past each other- and finally start to see.

She nearly killed me," he muttered. "Not nearly," the man said, stepping forward, his voice laced with timeless gravity. "She was holding back." Ren turned now. "You knew this would happen." The figure's eyes glinted silver. "I knew the First Flame would find the one who walks between. And he would choose." "Lu Quing?" Ren's laugh was hollow. "He's no ordinary man." "No," the figure said slowly. "He is the Remnant." Ren went still. "The what?" "Angel to some. Monster to others. The last of an ancient race who sealed the Gate of Origins with his own blood." He tilted his head. "Even I fear him." Ren gritted his teeth. "And she's falling for him." "It was written," the silver-eyed figure said. "But not how it ends." A pause. "You can still break her," the man continued. "But not with war. With doubt." Ren's smile returned. "I know exactly who to send."

Vejo pessoas mortas. Mas ei, é o apocalipse zumbi, todo mundo está vendo pessoas mortas, incluindo uma garota cega. Não é como se eu fosse especial. Por um tempo, pensei que seria a Cinderela, completa com a família cruel do padrasto e os ratinhos ajudantes. Mas em vez de ratos, consegui demônios do inferno com um gosto por caos. De qualquer forma, não há nada de errado com um pouco de caos no meio do apocalipse. É o que faz a vida valer a pena. Infelizmente para outros, eles não veem dessa maneira. Sabe, tenho um dom. Um que não é exatamente meu, mas posso usá-lo como bem entender. Meu dom é realizar desejos. Sou uma gênia sem lâmpada, mas seria bom se as pessoas me apreciassem mais. Tudo que os humanos pedem é a mesma coisa... mais comida aqui, abrigo ali, mate essas pessoas, torture aquelas. E faço tudo isso, por um pequeno preço. Não peço dinheiro ou comida, posso conseguir isso sozinha. Não, quero favores, almas, algo que significa tudo para a outra pessoa. E eles me dão. Seu desejo momentâneo vale sua felicidade a longo prazo. Mas quando eles descobrem isso, já estou longe, já segui para meu próximo... cliente. Sei que pareço jovem, fome e abuso fazem isso com uma garota. Os humanos me dizem que não deveria estar vagando por aí sozinha. Alguns tentam me ajudar... a maioria não. Mas quem disse que estou sozinha? Só porque outros não podiam vê-los não significa que meus demônios já foram embora. Ainda ouço suas vozes na minha cabeça, sussurrando palavras de encorajamento e amor. Por eles, faria qualquer coisa. Mataria qualquer um. Destruiria qualquer coisa. Afinal, a vida é apenas um jogo, certo? Aqueles ainda vivos no final do dia eram os sortudos. Aqueles que morreram não eram. Tudo é apenas um jogo de chance, tudo que um humano tem que fazer é rolar os dados. Meu único conselho é ter cuidado com o que deseja... você pode conseguir. Meu nome é Hattie, bem-vindo ao meu mundo. Gostaria de uma xícara de chá?

He came to forget the snow, the screams, the moment he froze. But the past follows. Among the new recruits is Touka Amatsuki, a cold, sharp-eyed girl with a quiet grace — and a terrifying secret. Beneath her calm lies a hidden identity, a mask soaked in blood, and a mission that could bring Bastionspire to its knees. As recruits unlock Kendra Energy — the force born of pain and will — bonds form, battles erupt, and suspicion grows. In a fortress full of swords, spies, and silence, not everyone is who they claim to be. And when truth cuts deeper than steel, what remains of mercy? The King sleeps behind stone walls. But his legacy still bleeds. Trauma burns. Power answers. But some scars don’t fade — they awaken.

Moving to Russia as an STA student was supposed to be her fresh start—a cold city, a quiet life, no attachments. She keeps her distance, her walls high, and her past buried deep.

She says she hates him. He says he doesn't care. Because he’s not the hero. He’s the obsession that crosses every line. And he won’t stop until she’s his—mind, body, soul. Even if it destroys them both.

===[WSA ENTRY 2025]=== Each stroke of good luck is a triumph over someone else’s misfortune. Jack Grim, the son of two legendary assassins, was born and raised on nothing but coldness — and the skills to spill blood. At seventeen, Jack received his final task as an assassin apprentice under his parents. “Succeed, and you’ll run your own organization — live the life you’ve always dreamed of.” For Jack, it was everything he had ever wanted: the chance to finally become the professional assassin he was born to be. He struck his target at midnight, succeeded, and received everything his parents had promised. But in the wake of victory came a pounding headache, a relentless fever— and then… transmigration. Jack now found himself in Raiden’s body — the keeper of the Book of Ashes, the heart of the Devourer, and the very book the coward Raiden had died protecting with his life. Jack had no desire to live in another world, magic or not. He simply wanted to return to his life as an assassin. But duty had other plans. The balance of this world now rested on his ability to protect the book — and like it or not, the responsibility was his to bear. —————— Bonus Chapters- 200 Power Stones = 1 Extra Chapter 100 Golden Tickets = 1 Extra Chapter

The chosen one blessed by divine light. The holy leader who unites kingdoms and vanquishes evil. The sacred figure all darkness trembles before. That is what a Pope should be. But me? As someone thrust into papal robes with a mysterious system window glowing before my eyes, I had one clear thought. "Finally," I whispered, gripping the Scythe of Judgement. Did I just inherit the ultimate religious authority? Is this my chance to wield divine power and command respect? Absolutely. And that's exactly the problem, because being Pope means every faction wants to control or kill me. Demon Generals hunt me personally. Political schemes surround my every decision. Ancient prophecies mark me for cosmic battles. "Perfect," I muttered sarcastically. "Just what I always wanted—a target painted on my back," I laughed bitterly while dodging another assassination attempt. Curious why I'm not thrilled about divine power? I should mention the most crucial detail about papal authority in this world. The thing is... Popes don't retire peacefully. Every previous Pope died violently. If history taught me anything, it's that holy authority comes with a very short life expectancy. Ideally, I'd like to survive past my first month in office. Thanks for nothing, mysterious forces that put me here. Little did I know, survival was just the beginning...

In a world shaped by moonlight and fate, sixteen-year-old Eila receives her wolf—and with it, the rare power to heal others without touch and glimpse into the future through haunting dreams. But unlike her peers, she doesn’t find her fated mate same day as her wolf. Days pass. Weeks. Then, the unthinkable happens. She is claimed—by not one, but three of the most powerful males in the Moon Treasure Pack. Zois and Lukas Baldwin—silver-haired, cold-eyed twins who command attention without a word—have always been the center of admiration. Handsome beyond reason and untouchable by all. Until Eila. Then there’s Leonard Blackwell, Beta of the pack, dark-haired, icy-eyed, older, and far more dangerous. Rumored to be heartless, he is anything but when it comes to Eila. Tension crackles in every glance, every touch. From the moment Zois kisses the back of her hand in the moonlit woods, to when Lukas pins her during combat training just to test her limits. And Leonard—he doesn’t ask for permission when he corners her in the library, his voice low as he claims, “You are mine, Eila. Don’t ever doubt it.” As the pack mourns after a brutal rogue attack and Eila’s family teeters on the edge of ruin, she rises—leading her siblings, helping the wounded, and awakening power she never knew she possessed. Her nights are filled with strange dreams of ancient entities breathing in the darkness, and her days, with stolen moments between her and the three mates she never asked for. But love comes with a price. Secrets stir. War looms. And the Moon Goddess’s plan for Eila is just beginning. “Eila and Her Three Mates” is a gripping, sensual, dark fantasy romance where destiny tangles with desire, and a girl must find her strength in a world built for men. Perfect for fans of fated mates, twisted love triangles, and slow-burn magic that simmers until it ignites.

In Arcadia, power is determined by one thing — your Awakening. For Leon Graves, the verdict was final: F-Rank Necromancer. Weakest class. Lowest rank. A joke to the world. He lost everything that day — the respect of his peers, the promise of a hunter's future, and even the loyalty of his best friend. Left with nothing but shame, poverty, and a dying mother he couldn’t afford to save, Leon was supposed to fade into the slums of Armathor. But fate had other plans. That night, a glowing blue screen appeared before him: [Zombie Lord System Activated] Unlike the normal hunter systems, this one let him raise the dead — not as mindless puppets, but as evolving warriors with real strength, real tactics... and real loyalty. “F-Rank? I’ll show you what a real rank looks like.” Thrown into a brutal world of dungeon tests, corrupted guilds, and dimensional rifts, Leon doesn’t just fight to survive — he fights to rise. Because when the world discards you, you don’t beg for a seat at the table. You build your own army and take the damn throne.

He is soon found by a prophetess and her young ward—two wanderers burdened by visions of a dying future. She recruits him in order to reclaim the order back into Eldrath.He alone may hold the key to Eldrath’s blessing or...reckoning. The unknown man's journey across a horrifying and terribly beautiful world of Eldrath begins.

All Xenia wanted was a diploma, a perfect cap-and-gown photo, and maybe a few tears from her professors. But just after the shutter clicked—splat—blood on her face, and the dean turned into a zombie. So much for becoming a teacher. Now, instead of lesson plans, she’s dodging corpses and getting side-eyed by a team of grizzled survivors who think she’s useless. She can’t fight, she cries under pressure, and her idea of combat training was walking fast through campus when the lights flickered. But Xenia refuses to be a liability. Armed with nothing but textbooks, sarcasm, and a survival streak powered by sheer spite, she reinvents her role: the strategist, the planner, the brainiac behind the brawn. She’ll decode the outbreak, fortify hideouts, and maybe—just maybe—make apocalypse life slightly less awful. She didn’t train for this. She didn’t want this. But if knowledge is power? Then Xenia’s about to turn her GPA into a weaponized survival plan.
