Anastasia Bat

Japan – National News Broadcast The polished news anchor sat upright, her gaze sharp as she adjusted the stack of papers before her. The newsroom behind her hummed with quiet urgency, the weight of the moment settling over the broadcast. "Authorities are baffled by a sudden and unexplained surge in sleep-related deaths across Japan," she began, her voice steady yet tense. "More and more citizens are passing away in their sleep without any prior health concerns. Experts are working tirelessly to determine the cause, but no clear explanation has emerged. Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any unusual symptoms before bedtime." A graphic appeared, displaying the spike in fatalities over the past month. Behind her, unsettling photographs flickered across the screen—blurred images of individuals found in their beds, their faces frozen in expressions of terror. The anchor’s tone shifted. "Health officials recommend citizens avoid excessive fatigue and maintain healthy sleep habits. More updates will follow as investigations continue." --- United States – Paranormal Podcast In a dimly lit podcast studio, the host leaned forward, his eyes wide with curiosity. Across from him, a rugged man in a worn flannel shirt, gripping a faded photograph in one hand and a beer can in the other, leaned back in his chair. "So, you're telling me you saw this creature firsthand?" the host asked, clearly intrigued. The man scoffed, shaking his head. "Damn right, I did. Ugly thing had wings bigger than my body—slow but sneaky. Thought it could steal my pigs again, but I was ready this time—camera in one hand, shotgun in the other." He slammed the table for emphasis, then shoved the blurry image toward the host. The photograph depicted a small, red-skinned humanoid figure with large, bat-like wings, its eyes glowing faintly in the darkness. "Spit, the thing didn’t know what hit it when I fired!" the man chuckled, his voice full of excitement. The host held up the picture to the live chat. "Alright, what do you think? Mothman? Demon? Or is our friend here just seeing things?" The chat exploded with theories—some skeptical, others eager for the investigation to continue. --- China – Liangyuan Street Market Surveillance footage from a bustling night market in China captured a chilling scene. A woman in a red qipao walked gracefully through the crowd, her figure striking in the soft glow of lanterns. Suddenly, she paused. Her body flickered—like a glitch in a video—before vanishing completely, as though she had never existed. The footage zoomed in, replaying in slow motion. In the final frame before she disappeared, her face distorted unnaturally, her eyes hollow and empty. The screen cut abruptly to black.

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.

Vaela never asked to be cursed by a succubus. One minute she’s broke, living on stale noodles and dreams, and the next she’s got a killer body, infinite wealth, and an ancient curse that demands one thing: seduce or suffer. Thanks, Lilith. Now bound to a curse that grows hungrier by the day, Vaela must win hearts, not just for pleasure, but for survival. But seducing isn’t as simple as batting lashes and showing a little skin (though that definitely helps). Her targets? The most powerful men—and women—on the planet. And with every conquest, her powers grow... and so does her ambition. But the game changes when she sets her sights on Virgil DuCroix, the world’s most influential billionaire. Charming, dangerous, and unfortunately under the thumb of Bilial, the literal demon of greed. Vaela soon realizes that the curse isn’t just a burden... it’s the only weapon strong enough to challenge a corrupt empire bent on devouring the world. Joined by a ragtag crew of gorgeous misfits, including a seductive demoness Lilith, a shy tech genius, a vampire business-mogul and a prince with a pretty face and a few secrets—Vaela launches Venevra, a seductive, revolutionary company aimed at rewriting the rules of power, pleasure, and profit. Corporate sabotage has never looked so good. Lingerie runways, weaponized kisses, steamy boardroom deals, magical fashion shows, and a whole lot of half-naked chaos ensue as Vaela seduces her way through the halls of power—not to destroy the world, but to save it. Sassy, sexy, and wildly addictive, this is a story of sin, sass, seduction... and saving the world in six-inch heels. ---- Like it? Show your support!!!

Five years ago, Anastasia Laurent broke his heart. To her, their college romance was just a careless game—toying with a love she never took seriously. To Dante Alexander Montgomery, it was the ultimate betrayal. Now, he’s back. No longer the lovesick senior she abandoned—but a ruthless billionaire who owns half the city. When Anastasia’s best friend begs her to go on a blind date in her place and ruin it, she agrees—after all, how bad could it be? Bad. Very bad. Because her date? Dante. And he’s not just here to rekindle old flames. He’s here to destroy her. Before she can run, Dante traps her in a deal she never saw coming: Marriage. Publicly, they’ll be the perfect billionaire power couple. Privately? He’ll make her regret the day she walked away. But as the lines between revenge and obsession blur, Anastasia realizes one thing— She thought she was done with Dante. But Dante was never done with her. --- Excerpt "You think you can run from me again, Anastasia?” Dante's voice was calm, but the storm in his eyes told another story. She backed into the wall, pulse racing as he stalked closer, his towering frame cutting off every escape route. “I-I’m not—” she stammered. His fingers tilted her chin, forcing her to meet his cold gaze. “You didn’t just break my heart,” he murmured darkly. “You shattered it. And now? Now, you’ll pay for it.” Her breath hitched. “Congratulations, Anastasia,” he whispered, leaning in until his lips brushed her ear. “You just became my wife.”

When they got home, her served her with divorce papers because he wanted his mistress and son to have a proper identity. As if the humiliation was not enough he used the life saving favor she owed him to stop her from announcing the divorce and insisted she stay with him for two years while he stabilized his career and enjoyed life with his mistress and bastard son. She could not believe the tragedy that had befallen her life. When she was falling apart, she woke up in a hospital, with a system that said, "Pamper the green tea man Mo Jingze and return to the pinnacle of your beauty and life or die. Mo Jingze was her brother-in-law, a man she would never got involved with normally. For one, he was five years younger than her and two he was her ex husband's half younger brother.

Jun Meilin walked into the living room, the first thing she saw was her ex punching her new assistant Mo Jingze on the cheek. Mo Jingze raised his beautiful eyes and called for her weakly. "Mei-Mei, it hurts." As if she was possessed, Mei-Mei ripped her ex husband away from Mo Jingzhe and touched his face. The handsome face had a red mark which made her blood boil. She whirled around and kicked her ex away, giving him twice the pain he had given Jingzhe. "Mo Liang, how dare you touch my Aze! You are courting death." "He..."Mo Lian started a defense but Mo Jingzhe moaned at that exact moment as if he was in great pain. Mei-Mei immediately helped Jingzhe up, screaming for someone to call a doctor. She did not see him sticking his tongue out at Mo Liang and smirking. When they were alone, he leaned against her and said softly, "Mei-Mei, kiss it better."

Saint Heriyama is 30. He’s not a hero. He’s not a legend. He’s a man who let his life rot in silence. Unemployed, in debt, and emotionally vacant, Saint reaches a point of no return — until a strange encounter in a run-down bar hands him a second chance in the form of a flyer: “Baseball Coach Wanted.” It’s a job he’s not qualified for. A role he doesn’t deserve. But something about it— the memory of his grandfather, the smell of the field, the shape of a bat— pulls him back into a world he abandoned long ago. As he starts training three broken kids—Mailo, Marcos, and Anto—Saint begins to face what he’s spent his entire life avoiding: his past, his pain, and the daughter he left behind. This is not a story about victory. It’s about holding the bat even when your hands are shaking. It’s about waking up after deciding not to. It’s about standing beside others when you don’t know how to stand alone. Some stories aren’t about becoming someone new… They’re about remembering who you were before everything fell apart.

(Currently being revised so the story may be incoherent) "Knowledge, There you are! We need to do this quickly before the other gods notice." Valor says as he motions for her to approach. "I'm surprised you agreed to help with this." Gluttony adds with a cruel smile. "I never would have thought the God of Knowledge would be the one to give us aid." Knowledge mearly nods at his words. "Now, this is it! That crazy bat from the far continent has made some crazy monsters before but this one is the cream of the crop. Fully capable of self-evolution and self-replication. It can breed a whole army of different monsters by gathering the essence of other lifeforms!" Valor says as he points to a large egg on the ground. She nods again. "You know, I thought you'd be as excited as I am with this? Endless war and power; we'll have full control of the system once this thing begins its rampage." Knowledge raises her hands in the air and shakes them unenthusiastically. "As sarcastic as ever I see. Well, whatever. Place your hand hand here and help us with the seal." She does as she is told and a huge beam of light descends upon the egg; but her attention is elsewhere. Using the ceremony as a distraction, Knowledge brings lost souls from other worlds and implants them in unsuspecting inhabitants. She can see it. Tiny seeds of change have been sewn.

Some Additional Tags: Mystery | Smut | Milfs | Netori | Possessive MC | Determined MC | Conqueror | Cold | Illicit | More to be added if necessary... --- Things To Note: 1) Though the novel has smut contents, it's not all about it and has a solid story. 2) The story has a somewhat slow begging (Not really because you find out many things about MC, the world and his family), so you need to be a little patient. 3} If you came here hoping to read some steamy stuff right off the bat, you'll be disappointed because as I as in the 1), this story isn't all about s*x. However, if you have some patience, you'll get everything you needs. 4) Lastly, If the tags are up to your tastes, give it a try and I request you to support it however you can. I'll really appreciate it. Thank You!

"Wait," President Mason uttered, his tone low and biting.  Anastasia turned slowly, her heart sinking.  "You looked happy back there when George was flirting with you," he accused, his eyes bored into her. Anastasia froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.  "Flirting?" she repeated, a bitter scoff escaping her lips. "He was drunk, Mason. Everyone could see that." "That's not what I saw." Mason stepped closer, his voice cold. "You were laughing, enjoying it...just like you were with Nicholas."  At the mention of Nicholas, Anastasia's stomach churn.  "Ex...excuse me?" she asked, her voice trembling with restrained anger.  "You heard me!" He yelled at her. "First it was Nicholas, now a coworker. How low can you go?"  The words cut through Anastasia, her fists clenching as she fought back the tears threatening to spill.  She stared at him, fighting the urge to pounce on him when she finally raised her fingers, pulling out her wedding ring.

Imagine: A stone-cold Russian billionaire heir—Viktor Mikhailov (picture: brooding, black turtlenecks, eyes like a winter storm)—gets his entire life nuked when a secret baby appears on his doorstep during a thunderstorm. The twist? - The mom’s a manipulative party-girl who drugged him to get pregnant (trauma). - Baby Misha is half-Korean, all cheeks, and already inherits his "I will end you" glare. - Viktor’s family? Literal villains. Think: evil stepmoms, icy patriarch, and a mansion full of backstabbers. Now he’s juggling: - Harvard poetry classes (his one soft spot), - Diaper explosions (Yuri, his himbo bodyguard/BFF, helps… sorta), - Mafia-level family drama (they want the baby gone). Vibes: - "John Wick but with baby wipes." - "Succession meets Masha and the bear." - Angst so thick you could drown in it… until Misha babbles and Viktor’s cold heart melts. Why you’ll cry: - Viktor whispering “I don’t deserve you" while sobbing into Misha’s curls. - Misha throwing mashed potatoes (Ah, I think it was yogurt? shii, I don't remember) at Anastasia’s $50k fur coat. - The jellyfish hair clips. Always the jellyfish clips. TL;DR: A man who’d never held a baby becomes DAD OF THE YEAR while fighting his psycho family, falling in love with his kid, and low-key redeeming his soul. Feat. Russian lullabies, baby fencing lessons, and emotional damage.

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things] [Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.] ~Even if you're someone who typically doesn't enjoy works with smut, I request you to give this novel a chance (provided you're 18 or older of course). It would be awesome if you could at least read Volume 1 before deciding whether or not this is your cup of tea.~ This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (Realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts. The story begins with Hiro's (the MC) transmigration into a magical world. At first glance, this "World" might look quite similar to many other fantasy worlds that you've come across on your reading adventures. Status screens, levels, classes, gods, kingdoms, elves - all that good stuff. But it will soon become clear that this World has its own "Rules". These (mostly) game-like Rules will bring out unique character interactions. They will be what differentiates the World in my story from other similar fantasy worlds. Now about the characters - specifically the main character. The MC (Hiro) will be thrust into the role of Ruler in the new World right off the bat. He starts with a bottom-tier, barebones realm and makes his way to the top. I'm going to say this right away - Hiro is a deeply flawed character at the start. Yes he might be overpowered and good at getting things he wants, but that does not make him flawless. Hiro has glaring emotional flaws at the beginning. He is intelligent but not in the emotional sense. He is lustful but not truly loving. He is apathetic towards death (both of himself and of others). The women who surround him will also have their own problems, both internal and external. As the story progresses, it won't just be the MC and his realm growing in power. Hiro and his harem will also mature emotionally. Hiro's character growth will be a slow, grueling burn. It isn't going to be a smooth straight line from point A to point B. But when it finally does happen, it will be worth it. That's all from me, your author. I hope you enjoy the ride. P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated. Thanks and Enjoy! :)

"Ich, Alpha Dylan, lehne dich, Anastasia, als meine Gefährtin ab". "An- und ich, Anastasia, akzeptiere deine Ablehnung, Alpha Dylan". Ich zwang mich, das zu sagen, bevor ich unter Tränen davonlief. Sobald ich in meinem Zimmer ankam und die Tür schloss, brach ich in herzhaftes Gelächter aus. "Ich kann es nicht glauben. Endlich ist Alpha Dylan von meinem Rücken!" Ihr fragt euch sicher alle, warum ich glücklich bin, von meinem Gefährten abgelehnt zu werden, oder? Das liegt daran, dass ich nicht die echte Anastasia bin.

“I, alpha Dylan, reject you, Anastasia, as my mate”. “An- and, I, Anastasia, accept your rejection, alpha Dylan”. I forced myself to say, before I ran away in tears. As soon as I arrived in my room and shut the door, I burst out laughing to my heart's content. “I can't believe this. Finally, Alpha Dylan is off my back!”. You may all be wondering why I am happy to be rejected by my mate, right? That's because I'm not the real Anastasia.

Anastasia Konstantinos despite being the daughter of an Alpha, was bullied by everyone and even her own family because she had selective mutism. This affected her life, her confidence, and her mental health, but she was willing to endure everything since she had nowhere else to go. However, on the day her father had announced she would be demoted to an omega, her knight in shining armor showed up. 'Who dares to demote Alpha Viktor's mate to an omega'. Never in a million years did Anastasia imagined she'd find her mate, let alone turning out to be the most powerful Alpha of all time, Alpha Viktor. Now, they were all going to fall on their knees and ask her for a second chance, but will she ever forgive them to all the pain that they caused her? Well, let's find out together...

She signed a contract. He signed a grudge. Now they’re bound by a mistake neither of them can undo. Anastasia Rae thought she was accepting a freelance design deal. Instead, she walked straight into a marriage contract—with none other than Christian Blake, New York’s most private and untouchable billionaire. For Christian, the marriage was a means to an end—a loophole to unlock his late grandfather’s empire. He never planned to fall for anyone. And definitely not for her. But fate doesn’t care about their intentions. Now, trapped in a cold marriage built on secrets and legalities, Ana and Christian must act like a perfect couple in front of the world. But when fake kisses spark real feelings, and revenge collides with vulnerability… What happens when love was never part of the deal— but becomes the only thing either of them wants?

Living as the fifth daughter of a noble family, Amira found herself adrift in the fog of her home, neglected and overlooked by those she once called her own. Her days were spent in the solitude of the attic, a hidden oasis away from the bustling world outside. However, when the tumult of war erupts and she is thrust into the role of a truce offering between two formidable nations, she grapples with the uncertainty of surviving in a new kingdom known for its icy demeanor and ruthless nature. Will she navigate this foreign terrain and carve out a new existence she never fathomed? (Excerpt) "Clean it," Zyran commanded. "Yes, your Highness," the servant acknowledged with a respectful bow, ready to fetch the cleaning supplies. "Not you," Zyran interjected, causing the servant to freeze in confusion. "Her," he added, nodding in the direction of Anastasia, whose eyes widened in disbelief. Anastasia blinked rapidly, trying to process the situation. "Pardon?" she asked. "Clean the mess on the floor," Zyran instructed. The crowd started murmuring and Anastasia shifted uncomfortably on her knees. "That's the servant's job, not mine. Why should I? I don't think I understand what you are trying to say Prince Zyran. My father will never approve of this," Anastasia began only to be abruptly cut off by Zyran. "Don't make me repeat myself. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if I interfered with your task," Zyran warned. Anastasia's lips trembled as she fought to hold back her words. She knew Zyran's reputation for being ruthless, and she didn't want to make her situation any worse than it already was. "Get me the cleaning supplies," she instructed the servant, who was prepared to follow her command until Zyran interjected. "No one will help you," he declared. Anastasia's chest heaved with anger as she locked eyes with Amira, who was standing behind Zyran. She rose to her knees, intending to fetch the cleaning supplies herself, but Zyran stopped her once again. "Where do you think you're going?" he demanded. "To bring the bucket," she replied with a hint of annoyance, but she quickly reminded herself to remain composed. "I never asked you to stand up," Zyran stated. "Then how am I supposed to clean the floor?" she inquired. "Use your dress," Zyran replied. The onlookers in the crowd were visibly shocked, exchanging bewildered glances and murmurs as they witnessed the unfolding scene. Anastasia's cheeks turned crimson with embarrassment.

"Your fate has been decided. You knew this when you made that decision years ago. The only way out for your family is for your son to marry the Daughter of Destiny. Only her fate is strong enough to save your lineage," the priest said. "Then we must find this Daughter of Destiny," the king declared. After committing many evil deeds, a dying king tries to save his family from the wrath of heaven. He had defied heaven once, and he was confident he could do it again. Anastasia, the unflavoured daughter of Duke Thompson, becomes the prey whose good fortune will be used to save the royal family. Would he succeed?? Find out!!

[Warning: Sexual content, lemons, comedy, MILFs, monster girls, face-slapping, and a shameless protagonist!] ..... Creed Walden was a man of culture. Refined. Sophisticated. A true enjoyer of the finer things in life. Which was exactly why he ended up getting shot in the nuts. Who knew that messing with a gangster’s woman would lead to such unfortunate circumstances? One moment, he was enjoying the peak of pleasure, the next—BANG! Eternal darkness. But instead of fading into nothingness, he woke up… in a completely different world. A world he knew. It was the setting of a novel he had read ten years ago—a brutal, unforgiving wasteland where monstrous creatures roamed, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction. The Apocalypse had begun. Here, humans awakened incredible talents to survive. Some became swordmasters, capable of cutting mountains in half. Others became mages, wielding fire and lightning at their fingertips. The strong ruled, the weak perished, and only those with true power could thrive. And Creed? He awakened… a summoning ability. Not bad, right? He could call forth mighty beasts, legendary heroes, or divine warriors to fight for him! At least, that’s what he thought. Until his first summon appeared. A gorgeous, sultry woman with horns, bat-like wings, and a very inappropriate outfit. A Succubus. It didn’t take long for Creed to realize the shocking truth—his summoning ability could only summon Succubi! The apocalypse was raging. Civilization was collapsing.
