Rimuru Destroys Army

"The gods want to possess the Grail of Sin, but I need it to save the person I love. Even if I have to watch the world go up in flames." After losing everything he loved and being on the verge of death, Neizan is transported to an unknown world. In his first year, Neizan tries to unravel the mystery of his arrival while struggling to survive the relentless life in the Léones Empire. During one of his hunting trips, he encounters a merchant named Arthur, who is being attacked by two armed men. Neizan steps in and rescues him, sparking an unexpected friendship. But the danger doesn't end there: later, they face a dragon-like monster, and Neizan must sharpen his wits and strength to confront this threat and save their lives. Later, he encounters a beautiful girl in danger, whom he tries to save by killing her attackers. However, his actions condemn him, and Neizan is imprisoned for his crimes. His only chance for freedom will be risking his life in the imperial coliseum. But the cruel emperor will do everything in his power to make his situation even more difficult. After emerging victorious in the coliseum, Neizan decides to visit the village of giants, where he meets the daughter of the champion he had defeated. However, peace is short-lived: the emperor, taking advantage of the absence of the village's leader, plans to launch an attack against the giants. To protect the village and its inhabitants, Neizan makes a dangerous pact with the emperor: he agrees to seek the legendary Grail of Sin and gather the seven gems needed to complete it. However, this mission hides dark secrets, and the adventure will be perilous, with gods standing in the way of Neizan and his friends. Now, everything depends on his fight, which will determine his fate to protect the girl and the people he cares about. ⚜ ----____ Other tags ____---- ⚜ #Psychological thriller #Suspense #Horror #Gore #Drama ⪧ Chapter release: 2 chs/day Author's Note: This is a dark fantasy.

[Ding! You have successfully tamed Succubus Queen Lilith... Placing Dominion Mark...] [Ding! Your marked demon has comprehended a Divine Ranked Ability... Multiplying rewards by 10 times...] [Ding! You have received Chaos Ranked Ability...] _____ Creed Walden died the way he lived—single, frustrated, and still a virgin. But who knew death was just the beginning? When he opens his eyes again, he finds himself in Demon’s Dominion, the brutal fantasy novel he read ten years ago. Here, strength reigns supreme, and humanity’s survival hinges on their ability to fight off the relentless demon hordes. But Creed isn’t just any reincarnated soul. He’s been granted a legendary SSS-ranked talent, “Demon Lord,” giving him the power to tame the very demons that humanity despises and fears. To complicate matters, Creed soon unlocks the Demon Dominion System, a powerful tool that allows him to bind to demons by marking their souls, gaining absolute control over their lives in exchange for their trust. The system rewards Creed with 10x growth in strength and abilities each time a bound demon reaches a milestone, making him a powerful force the more his army grows. But as Creed dives deeper into his new world, he realizes there’s more at stake than he ever imagined. In the story he read, an even more terrifying power lurks behind the demons’ war against humanity: the angel race, a cold, ruthless force with a divine agenda. The angels are manipulating the demons, forcing them to invade and weaken humanity. And once they’re done using both sides? They’ll wipe out demons and humans alike, leaving only their “holy” empire to rule the world. This time, he has a plan: he’s going to build his own force, starting with an army of succubi—the seductive, elite leaders of the demon race—and claim their loyalty to him alone. Armed with forbidden powers and his growing succubus army, Creed knows he’s humanity’s last chance. With every encounter, he gains strength, preparing to face the heavenly threat that no one else knows is coming. He’s racing against time, against divine manipulation, and against his own weaknesses. The angels are ruthless, the demons are on the brink, and Creed’s destiny is about to ignite a war that no one saw coming. He couldn't help but ask himself, "Am I the Demon King or what?!"

[Warning: This book contains Strong Language and Mature Content] On her eighteenth birthday, Ravenna felt the weight of exile as she was outlawed from her home because she could not shift to a werewolf, a mark of shame in their world that revered power. Away from all the ridicules and hate, she had at least a more peaceful life, until a beautiful storm knocked at her door. Deceived by its enchanting waves, Ravenna welcomed it with open arms until she was swept away into the deepest depth of the ocean of love. Being a daughter of an alpha, that was not supposed to happen even if she was not living in the pack anymore. Falling in love with the king of darkness. Alaric! He is the epitome of danger. But then, she turned his life upside down. From a heartless man to an obsessive lover. All he wished was to keep her with him. Even if it meant chaining her to himself. Whether what he felt was infatuation, desire or... he just would never ever let her go. Let no man or beast separate him from what he had claimed and marked; else they would face his unceasing wrath. **************** "Am of no use to you, why do you still insist on keeping me?" She just wanted to hear him say it. That he loved her as much as she did. She was becoming more desperate as days went by, maybe more than desperate to the extent of destroying herself in this love. Alaric paused and kept his laptop aside. He held her hand and brought her in front of him before pulling her to his lap. Silently, he sniffed her neck and licked it, then replied, "Because I want to." He continued his actions, and his hands were already moving under her dress caressing her thighs. Ravenna took a deep breath trying to stop herself from diving into pleasure as always. "Will you ever say it?" Her voice came out as a low yearning plead and with his advanced hearing ability, Alaric did not miss a word. "Say what?" His hand reached her pant ready to tear it apart. "That you love me." Her words made him pause abruptly before looking at her. As usual, his eyes were blank with no hint of emotions making Ravenna feel like she was just fooling herself. For how long could she endure this? "Do I?" He asked not tearing his gaze away from her eyes that were already tearing up.

After being reincarnated in a world of Gods, Demons, and Great Emperors, Wang Wei embarks on a journey to bear Heaven Mandate, proves the Dao, and proclaims himself a Great Emperor--a Supreme Being that overlooked Myriad World and Races. However, his Dao involves despising fate and its encompassing glory. So what awaits our protagonist on his journey full of vicissitudes to defy and even control fate? While he controls the fate of countless races and worlds, is fate playing with him? Can he escape the very shackles of fate that he controls? Better Synopsys: After an unknown cosmic accident that enveloped the Earth, Wang Wei was reincarnated into a magical world of spiritual cultivation. This world was composed of powerful Demons, cunning and brutal Devils, ruthless and indifferent Gods, detached and ethereal Immortals. More Importantly, Great Emperors--Supreme Beings that stand above everyone and everything, even life and death itself. Despite being born in one of the most powerful sects in the world, Wang Wei was placed under tremendous pressure when so many expectations were placed on him by his sect due to the fact they have not cultivated a Great Emperor for countless millennia--an act which threatened the fundamental status of his family, friends, and sect. On top of that, Wang Wei was not one of the chosen few of this world that was granted special gifts by Heaven, thus further aggravating his circumstances. However, he did not retreat in the face of adversity. With the mindset that “If Heaven does not give me, I shall take it for myself”, Wang Wei begins to plan his rise to the top with a brilliant tactical mind and the help of his mysterious soul so that one day he will become a Great Emperor that not only control his fate but the fate of all lives in existence.

In the second millennium of the glorious Lightless Age, the domains of twelve cosmic architects encompassed the sea of stars. Under their guidance, the cursed human race lifted the bloody banner of prosperity and conquered planet after planet, unrestricted by the laws of the universe. With millions of mutants roaring behind her in support, the Empress of a dead star declared, "I shall lead my people to the peak of the universe, standing unmatched over all civilizations, enjoying the world as our bounty!" Helming the lost mothership of a forgotten conqueror, a nameless ghost waged the most brutal galactic war, his goal— "To reclaim the Holiest of Cosmic Domains, the Infinite Continuum where immortality is no myth!" Basking in the darkness of the anti-star, a cautious force built an unstoppable fortress, each worker whispering the first precept: “Free will is the source of all disorder, being begets chaos." The fate of the universe seemed to be sealed in the hands of these forces, and it would have been so in truth, had it not been for one existence. This was someone who had once stared at the sky with a calculating look and claimed, "If an undying monarch schemes against me, I will tear apart their body with my hands; if it is a Transcendental Monstrosity, I will raze down its spirit with my soul; and if any cosmic architect stands on my path, I will conquer its domain with my mutant army!"

Tragedies are hard to love, but even harder to hate. I should know - I've read enough of them. Especially my favorite webnovel, where kingdoms fall one by one, and the Hero's arrival is more curse than blessing. It was just fiction, something to read at 3 AM. Then my phone's screen got too bright. Now I'm stuck in my pajamas in, where my only weapons are a fitness band showing pathetically low stats and a phone whose signal bars warn me of approaching dangers. My curse? I know how six kingdoms fall, but not how the story ends. The first kingdom is about to fall. And I'm right in the middle of it. "Another human seeking refuge with the Demon Army? What skills do you even have?" Sometimes, to survive a tragedy, you have to pick the side everyone calls evil. [A story of survival, betrayal, and the fine line between heroes and villains. Updates daily.]

Ren Jidian is an Omega who had a long-time crush on his Omega best friend, Wei Sizhi. One day he managed to confess his feelings and the two boys elope together, only to be hit by a truck and transmigrated to cruel worlds as star-crossed, tragic lovers! With the whole world keeping them apart, would they still be able to get their Happy Ending in the end? Or would it be a tragedy for a love that was never meant to be? Ren Jidian: "I will keep fighting for you, Zhi-Zhi! No matter what it takes! I will take you from these Alphas!" ------------------- 1v1 Seme/Gong/ Top MC Ren Jidian is a sort of dumb, pessimistic seme with a bit of a yandere side and Wei Sizhi is a cool, aloof and badass uke Multiple worlds/ World-hopping/ Quick Transmigration Happy Ending?

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. --------------------- What is omegaverse? (Do remember this is MY version of omegaverse, I know there are tons of other ones.) Basically, people are divided into 3 subgenders besides their own sex or gender. There is Alpha, Beta, and Omega. Alphas, no matter the sex, male or female, can make people pregnant. Betas are just like how us people work. Males can impregnate, and females get pregnant. Omegas get pregnant no matter the sex, male or female. They also undergo heat, which is a monthly cycle that makes them crave to be bred by Alphas. They emit a scent (pheromones) during heat that makes an Alpha go wild and lustful. Alphas are characterized to have a stronger, larger, and more athletic build than Betas and Omegas. Omegas have a weaker, smaller and more frail build than Betas and Alphas. Betas can vary. There are exceptions to every rule, of course. But Ren Jidian and Wei Sizhi are both smaller and weaker types of Omegas. (Much to Ren Jidian's frustration.) -------------- Worlds' dynamics (Ren Jidian's role x Wei Sizhi's role) 1.

Ren dies and reincarnates in a novel he read in his past life. That’s what he thought, at least. There’s a catch though. He is reborn as a villain. The ridiculous thing is that he wasn’t reborn as a major villain, nor as a minor villain, but rather as a lackey of a third-rate villain that appears only once in the story. After his awakening, he joins the elite royal academy. It becomes clearer and clearer that the fantasy world was not as in the novel. He later finds out that this world is completely different from the novel. He never trusted it anyway. His fate seemed to be playing with him. Nothing went according to plan. It felt like he was dancing in the palm of someone’s hand. He felt that he was merely a pawn in a higher entity’s game. It frustrates him. During one of his adventures, he comes to learn of a minor fact. The universe itself is after him! And that crazy being wants him to get rid of it. That was the last straw. He had finally snapped. He had had enough of being their pawn. He would no longer be the puppet. He would be the puppeteer instead. ……… DON’T expect a heroic or villainous mc. The main character’s personality may not seem that great at first, but trust me, It will make sense later. ……… [Warning: There will be plot twists, so hang on to this roller coaster. ] ……… PS: I release on Mondays.
