Born with peerless talent, profound looks, and unfathomable strength, Young Master Zhao woke up one day and chose violence. --- Greetings, Fellow Daoists. This ancient scripture records the rise of a new Immortal Venerable. The one who defied fate, defiled heaven, and dominated all under the Nine Skies. They called him mad. They said he was courting death. But Young Master Zhao simply smiled and turned the heavens into his mount. From arrogant Ye Chen to the invincible Yang Kai, every so-called Son of Qi was but an insect crushed beneath his foot, stripped of destiny, reduced to stepping stone for his cultivation path. In a realm where the strong seize fate and the weak become dust, he was born with everything. While others pondered why the sun followed them, he was already a Holy Realm powerhouse, tearing through sacred mountains and enslaving ancient dragons with a single flick of his sleeve. From holy maidens to dragon priestesses, From Eastern princesses to Western empresses, From Northern jade maidens to Southern mature elders. One might count the stars in the heavens, But not the names in his harem scroll. If Fellow Daoists still do not know the difference between heaven and earth, then this scripture shall enlighten thou. --- BE WARNED, FELLOW DAOISTS! This is no ordinary scripture. Reading further may shake your Dao heart, weaken your spirit veins, and send your cultivation into irreversible Qi Deviation. Those beneath the bone age of 18 must avert their eyes, lest they be pulled into a forbidden dual-cultivation realm with no escape. This scripture contains a potent fusion of Yin and Yang, Male and Female, light and Dark. A sacred technique long prohibited by the righteous heavens! Only those with profound Dao harmony may begin to comprehend its lewd profundity. --- To the Young Masters of prestigious orthodoxy clans, wise sages & hermits, divine emperors, immortal venerables, great elders, profound sect masters, and even the all-knowing constellations: Support this rebellious scripture against the heavens by donating your Power Stones and Spirit Stones generously, And let the Lewd Dao rise once more! It's the fated time for us, the Lewd scholars, Cultured Daoists, Lustful Sages, sinister constellations, debauched emperors and horny Young Masters to stand against the righteous heavens and obtain the true Cultured enlightenment that has been suppressed since the dawn of time. For Lustful Dao!!! The Dao creator: LewdScholar Available at the celestial sea of Webnovel, if you are seeing this profound scripture somewhere else, then it won't contain any profound might. ---- Also, engraved below is the sacred glyph one must embed into their jade slip to locate the hidden gateway to the Cultural Holy Land: # https://discord.gg/PY4BVUPyPF Only those with a stable Dao heart and firm Yang essence may survive the trials within. This Venerable One does not boast idly, but let it be known that, the Cultural Holy Land harbors the greatest treasury of jade maidens’ immoral portraits across all Nine Realms and Thirteen Forbidden Heavens. From elven saints to beastkin war priestesses, from immoral demonesses to corrupted nuns, All forms of cultured yin exist here... awaiting worthy dual-cultivation partners. Fellow daoist, do you have what it takes to be a true dual cultivator? Enter only if you dare to cultivate with your soul, body, and lower dantian. If not, break your left hand, kowtow 100 times and ROLL!!! *** Exclusive discord role to those who purchase privilege tier above 3 or above, to enjoy additional exclusive chapter on discord.

Twenty years ago, my little sister was kidnapped by another world's summoning spell. Twenty years later, I’ve finally hijacked my way into that world! And now, I'm searching for her. Angels? Demons? Gods? Or even Fate itself? So what? I don't fucking care! I will find my sister, even if I have to tear this world apart! ___________________________________ Read this story if you are looking for: - A genuinely smart main character who wasn't a loser in his past life and doesn't get spoon-fed too much superpowers or cheats. He becomes strong through sheer willpower, overcoming hardship, and outsmarting impossible odds, winning seemingly unwinnable fights. - A harem, but not the typical kind. The main character won't chase any girl like a literal simp. Also, the girls aren’t flat, two-dimensional tropes either. Each has depth, distinct personalities, powerful backstories and real emotional impact on the MC. Also, the MC is mature, so expect meaningful and serious relationships, not the cringey, child-like and meaningless romance drama. - A thrilling and well-thought-out plot filled with betrayal, deception, mystery, and plot twists at every turn. Friends become enemies, enemies become allies. Even those who seem trustworthy may later reveal their true, wicked nature. In this ruthless world, everyone has their own ideals and goals, and the line between good and evil isn’t always clear. - No yuri. - A unique blend of isekai, western-style cultivation, and even regression plot.

After the fall of a country unable to keep up with the ever-changing wimp of a world ruled by greed and power, Armand Jacques, eager to creat a new way to see the world, dared to step aside to look front and sidelong to where he was being led, and who he was expected to be by starting from zero, creating a new era twenty three years ago. Now in the year 2047, after saving himself and a country by using the logic view of technology, to create a tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, where he gathered all he had learnt and with the help of other kindred minds, put to the test every scientific discovery the world had at the service of the only living creature capable of understanding how our reality came to exist. Now ‘The Vase’ became the starting point of a world ruled by technology, with the sight set on the future. But to do so he needs to show what they can do and how is it possible to get us pass this era; using every kind of platform to launch his achievements (after failing to use his words) and proves to reach the western world to display their errors and to show how capitalism and the political megalomania will eventually fail the human race as it has done to many other kingdoms. Join Oliva, a young character game creator, social media content persona and art history student as she navigates this country's capabilities all by herself after being sent to do just that. Will she be able to achieve her goals? Can she use her love tribal art, mythic lore and romantic creations to be part of a realm heading towards a new era? Or will she let herself be shaped by the technocratic view of Armand's new world? Updates every first of the month. #AI #notwritenbyanAI #Scyfi #16+ #fortheLGBTIQ+ #Politics

Lee Wooyun had always been a fan of romance fantasy books and films, especially those set in historical times with kings and queens, dukes and duchesses, and the like. His friends were well aware of his obsession and recommended a book that had recently been making waves on social media. The book was titled My Charming Demon Lord. At first, Lee Wooyun was hesitant. Unlike the fantasies he usually read, which were often set in Western historical settings, this one was different. However, his friends assured him he would enjoy it. Not wanting to reject their gift, he decided to give it a try. That night, he found himself unable to put the book down, reading almost the entire thing in one sitting. "Those guys were right! It’s amazing! A Cinderella-like fairytale set in a murim/cultivation world? It’s too good!" He couldn't help but imagine how incredible it would be to take the female lead Han Seo-yoon’s place—starting from such a miserable beginning only to end up in the arms of the surprisingly sweet and gentle demon lord. I wish I could take her place. That night, as he drifted off to sleep, the book he had left open on his desk began to emit a golden glow. The pages flipped backward, returning to the very first chapter, and its contents began to change as well. The title My Charming Demon Lord pulsed with a piercing red light, and before Lee Wooyun could even react, his surroundings shifted. The next morning, instead of waking up wrapped in his expensive velvet duvet—the one he had spent hundreds of dollars on—he found himself in a dimly lit room, lying on a pile of hay and straw. His back ached horribly, like he had actually slept on a pile of hay and straw. "What in the world…?" he muttered, rubbing his sore muscles. "Where in the hell am I? And why does it smell like cow dung in here?!” *** This is the story of how a fantasy-genre enthusiast ended up inside one of the books he had wished for—without realizing just how dangerous that wish would be. "I guess it’s true what they say: Be careful what you wish for."

This story is historical fiction with a touch of magic. Viking raids began in the late 8th century, particularly in the Western Isles and the Northern Isles of what is now Scotland and with attacks on monasteries and coastal towns in what is now Ireland. This story follows Deirdre O Cleirigh, a young girl in the idyllic village of Ulster, who dreams of adventure and heroism beyond her modest upbringing. Growing up in a land threatened by Viking invaders, her childhood is shaped by tales of courage and resilience passed down through generations.

Rallying the citizens, she empowers them to join the fight, tapping into their shared heritage and strength. Together, with the aid of local druids and her innate tactical skills, they craft a counter-offensive strategy to reclaim their city and their country. In a climactic battle, Deirdre leads her forces against the Viking stronghold, demonstrating courage, tactical acumen, and the power of community. Despite heavy sacrifices, the united front of citizens and warriors overwhelms the Vikings, forcing them into retreat.

An Eastern Taoist priest who practiced immortality, dressed in a Taoist robe and with an otherworldly and elegant bearing, appeared in front of him.

In a world perceived by ordinary people as normal and peaceful, two hidden factions wage a silent war for absolute control: the Eastern Powers and the Western Powers. While most of the population lives in ignorance, a few individuals know the truth — a dangerous truth, buried under centuries of manipulation and conspiracy. Andreas Shinja is one of the few who are aware. Born into a wealthy and influential family, he possesses physical and mental abilities beyond human limits. Though raised under the influence of the Western Powers, Andreas disagrees with their methods of control and manipulation. His vision is idealistic: he seeks to change the world for the better, to free ordinary people from the grip of those who rule in the shadows. On the other side stands Subject Y.K., an experimental weapon created by the Western Powers — a one-man army, designed for mass destruction. Trained to kill, Y.K. has broken away from his intended purpose, haunted by a defining question: “What is the purpose of my life?” Unlike Andreas, Y.K. does not fight for others, but for himself. He sees the flaws in the system not out of empathy, but because it fails to give his existence meaning. As the two follow their separate paths, each driven by their own beliefs, they are drawn into a series of conflicts that reveal an even darker reality — a world filled with paranormal forces, fantastical entities, and ancient secrets.

"“Serena, you are hereby exiled from the Silverstone Pack. You will remain exiled until the day you draw your last breath.” Serena, a Healer exiled from her pack for a crime she did not commit, accused of murdering her mate, the Pack Beta. The evidence against her was damning, warranting the harshest punishment: death. However, an oath between her father and the Alpha of her pack spared her life. Instead, she was cast into the wilderness, cursed to live as a rogue until the day she dies. Life as a rogue was treacherous, seeing the next sunrise was never promised. One fateful day, Serena stumbled upon injured strangers and saved their lives. In return for her kindness, she was granted asylum in Ironshade, the strongest Western Pack. Haunted by the loss of her first mate, Serena is determined to live in secrecy, until she discovers she has yet another fated mate. Her new mate is none other than Darius, the stoic Alpha of Ironshade burdened by the dark legacy of his father. The Ironshade Pack is on the brink of collapse, plagued by a mysterious curse. Serena’s arrival may hold the key to its salvation...or its ruin. As tensions rise, Serena and Darius find themselves drawn together with an undeniable bond. Together, they must confront buried secrets, face their deepest fears, and decide if their second chance at love is worth risking everything. "When the shadow of the Thorn bleeds into the light, And the wolf who carries death finds her second life, The moon will bless the broken bond, And the cursed will find peace at dawn."

In the blood-soaked shadow of Partition, two nations went to war—and never stopped fighting.** PART I: KASHMIR’S BLOODY DAWN (1947–1948) As the British Empire collapses, India and Pakistan are born in a frenzy of communal slaughter. Trains packed with massacred refugees crisscross Punjab, while in Lahore, **Jawaharlal Nehru** and **Muhammad Ali Jinnah** duel over Kashmir’s fate. When tribal raiders storm Srinagar, the Hindu Maharaja signs away his kingdom to India in exchange for salvation. But Pakistan strikes back—capturing Skardu Fort in a brutal siege and igniting the first war over the Himalayas. Amidst the chaos, a young Sikh farmer, **Kartar Singh**, loses his family to a Muslim mob and joins the Indian Army, vowing revenge. As the UN draws ceasefire lines, Kashmir lies divided, and the seeds of eternal hatred are sown. PART II: CLASH OF TITANS (1965) Eighteen years later, Pakistan launches *Operation Gibraltar*, infiltrating Kashmir to spark rebellion. When India retaliates, full-scale war erupts. In the skies, PAF legend **MM Alam** destroys five Indian jets in 30 seconds—an unmatched feat—while **Squadron Leader Sarfaraz Rafiqui** leads a suicidal raid on Halwara airbase. With guns jammed, Rafiqui stays airborne as a decoy so wingmen **Cecil Chaudhry** and **Younus Hussain** can escape, sacrificing himself to Indian flak. On the ground, **Major Raja Aziz Bhatti** defends Lahore’s BRB Canal for 120 hours without sleep, falling to a sniper’s bullet. As tanks burn at Chawinda and navies clash off Dwarka, both nations claim victory—but the Tashkent Agreement leaves Kashmir still bleeding. PART III: BIRTH OF BANGLADESH (1971) East Pakistan explodes in revolt. After Pakistan’s *Operation Searchlight* massacres Bengalis in Dhaka, India trains the *Mukti Bahini* guerrillas. At sea, Pakistan’s submarine *PNS Ghazi* mysteriously sinks on its own mines while hunting the INS Vikrant, and *PNS Hangor* avenges it by torpedoing the Indian frigate *INS Khukri*. In the skies, trainee pilot **Rashid Minhas** thwarts a hijack by Bengali defector Matiur Rahman, crashing his T-33 rather than let it reach India—earning Pakistan’s only air force Nishan-e-Haider. On the western front, 120 Indian soldiers hold off 3,000 Pakistanis at Longewala using jeep-mounted guns. When Dhaka falls, 93,000 Pakistani POWs surrender—humiliating a nation and birthing Bangladesh. PART IV: FROZEN CONFLICTS (1984–1999) In the icy hell of Siachen Glacier, India seizes the world’s highest battlefield by stealth. Soldiers freeze solid in their bunkers as Pakistan fuels insurgency in Kashmir. After Indira Gandhi is assassinated by her Sikh bodyguards and her son Rajiv falls to a Tamil bomb, nuclear tests in 1998 push the rivals to the brink. Then, in 1999, Pakistan infiltrates troops disguised as militants into Kargil’s peaks. **Captain Karnal Sher Khan**, the “Tiger of Tiger Hill,” decimates Indian assaults until an artillery shell tears him apart. **Lalak Jan**, a Pakistani soldier, fights alone for 24 hours with a machine gun, killing 12 Gurkhas before succumbing. When India storms Tiger Hill at point-blank range and the U.S. forces Pakistan’s retreat, soldiers are abandoned on the mountains—their bodies rotting in no-man’s-land. As General Musharraf seizes power in Islamabad, the war ends unresolved, leaving behind frozen graves and a question: *Will the next war go nuclear?*

The Island That Sees Through You *Genre: Supernatural Horror, Psychological Thriller, Travel Mystery* *Setting: Ubud, Bali – Summer of 2023* What if paradise sees your soul—and doesn’t let go? I never believed in ghosts. Not seriously. Not until the summer of 2023, when burnout from my tech job in Singapore led me to book a last-minute solo retreat to Bali. The plan was simple: unplug, heal, reset. But the island had other plans. What began as a peaceful vacation in a secluded villa outside Ubud quickly spiraled into a spiritual descent I couldn’t escape from. The villa was perfect—too perfect. Traditional Balinese design, surrounded by rice paddies, misty mornings, and ancient temples nearby. Every doorway adorned with daily offerings. Every night serenaded by distant gamelan music. For the first few days, I embraced it all. Meditation, yoga, local food, temple visits. Then came the dreams. A temple I hadn’t seen. A woman in white with her face half-covered in hair. A stare that pierced through the veil of sleep and left me frozen with fear. Whispers in a language I didn’t speak. Night after night, her presence grew stronger—until she crossed the threshold from dream into reality. Mirrors fogged on their own. Statues turned. Shadows moved in corners untouched by light. And always, the smell of frangipani before something happened. The villa, once tranquil, felt like a mouth slowly closing around me. Every inch of the house watched. Every offering seemed like a warning I was too late to understand. Locals avoided my gaze. Strangers placed offerings outside my room without a word. I visited a *balian*—a traditional Balinese healer—who told me, “You opened something. It saw you. Now it follows.” I wanted to laugh. But I couldn’t. Because deep down, I knew it was true. The woman wasn't a ghost in the Western sense. She was something older. A *penunggu*—a watcher bound to the land, awakened by disrespect or recognition. And I had done both. Through rituals, cryptic warnings, and a wooden idol with no eyes, I tried to make sense of the unraveling horror. I was told to let her "finish looking." But what does that mean when what she sees is you—your regrets, your secrets, your soul? This isn’t just a ghost story. It’s about the cost of being seen by something beyond comprehension. It’s about sacred land, and what happens when a tourist treats spirit like spectacle. It’s about the third eye opening not through meditation, but through fear. The island gave me what I didn’t ask for. And now, even after leaving Bali, the dreams haven’t stopped. If you’ve ever felt something watching you just out of view\... if you’ve ever visited a sacred place and felt *changed* afterward... you might understand. You might have opened a door, too. **“The Island That Sees Through You”** is a supernatural travel-horror novella written in a deeply immersive, personal style. A cross between *The Haunting of Hill House* and *Eat Pray Die*, this story takes readers on a slow-burn psychological descent through mysticism, madness, and a truth you cannot unsee. Welcome to Bali. She sees you now.

Welcome to a story of Gods, evolution, love, adult situations and basically bringing a bit of eastern fantasy to western civilization. Hope you enjoy the ride.

Malik was an ordinary player that was betrayed by the girl he loved and was forced to abandon the account he had built up for years. On the verge of giving up everything, Malik stumbled upon a path that had been lost to existence. Malik stumbled on an item which granted him a physique that rivaled the very origin of the world. With his physique, he restarted his journey, and the journey that took him years, he was able to accomplish within weeks. His fame skyrocketed throughout the whole Western Region of God's Realm Online as he achieved what no other player had done before and became an Ancestor. As Malik progressed, he gathered a lot of enemies who saw him as a threat, and a lot of powerful individuals ganged up together to destroy him once and for all. Malik did all his best and fought with everything he had, but the enemies were too overwhelming. At the last moment, he tore a forbidden scroll which broke him through the boundaries of the Western Region and let him cross over to the Northern Region. The Main God System of GRO then gave him two options: either to be forever banned from playing GRO or to restart back from Level 0. In this world, GRO’s influence has spread through every corner. Being unable to play GRO was something Malik couldn't afford, so he chose to restart from Level 0 again, where his data was formatted and he had to choose a new class. Malik was given a special privilege to choose from a long list of classes, but Malik chose a class that had been abandoned by the system—a class with no follower and an F-grade art. Malik had thought that this class, which is the Cultivator class, would be the most unique out of all classes. He never trusted anyone and never listened to anyone but his own self. But when he saw for himself how pathetic and weak the class was, he couldn't help but cry and lament his foolishness... But then something happened... [Primordial Chaos Physique has been triggered] [Apprentice Dao Scripture has been successfully refined to the Infinite Chaos Scripture] [Apprentice Dao Scripture - Grade F —)) Infinite Chaos Scripture - Grade A] Malik's physique that he used to reign supreme in the Western Region was still there—the Main God System couldn't format it.

In a world where talent is everything—what happens when someone dares to cheat the heavens? Xuan Wu awakened in the brutal Fire Haven World where the strong eat the weak, where practitioners cultivate techniques to live longer and grow stronger. But just as despair crept in... [Ding! Awakened the Supreme Cheat System] [Anything you desire, reality will obey...] Cultivation? Piece of cake. Upper worlds? He can ascend and descend with a thought. Enemies? A single word is all that is needed for obliteration. As Xuan Wu overlooks the world in his grasp, he asks himself—should he dominate, conquer worlds, create planets? Or should he play along just like an ordinary disciple? ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Things to expect in this novel: No harems or romance - romance tropes have no place in this story. Low-key mc who hides his power - Because who doesn't love playing along? Bizarre, unexpected comedy - seriously Enlightened view on cultivation - tired of old monsters acting like mortals? Or young masters being dumb at such a high realm? None of that western power suppression crap - Power scale is huge Reflective MC - tired of the old Gary Stu? ───────────────────────────────────────── Things not to expect: Slow Pacing - Who has the time for that? Submissive MC - Enough of the MC submitting to a female character just because she's hot trope! Enough! Superficial Evil - "Ooh ahh me kill innocent people me so evil!" Again, there are more evils than just killing! ───────────────────────────────────────── ...

This is a compilation of fifteen unique couples who are from the most elite families. The Great Korie Empire is the second biggest empire in the Continent. The empire is ruled by the Imperial Emperor, as the overall monarch and Four State Kings and Queens who rule the South, East, West and North States respectively. This is a fictional world called 'Unirse'. This world has three physical sexes i.e male(man) female(woman) and hermaphrodites. The male and females have genders called the Sen and Ven. Sens are dominant, strong and powerful. The higher their power level the more valued they are by the empire. And more handsome. They differentiate at the age of 15. Also they represent the 'paternal' figure The Vens are soft swift and smart (and mostly short and cute). Although less valued they are respected. The higher their potential level the more valued they are. They differentiate at the age of 16. They represent the 'maternal'. The hermaphrodites are called Gamas. They are rare and known to be special. They can pocess both qualities of a sen and a ven and unlike both genders they don't differentiate. Because of how difficult and risky it can be for them to conceive, they mostly polish their Sen attributes. But some Gamas do take the risk sometimes. With special advance machines and high quality medications, they are able to give birth without complications. This is a 'mini-novel' about 15 set of couples from within and outside the the Empire. They are the sons of the monarchs and inheritors of generations of family fortune and some individual wealth on the side. They are the next generation of Monarchys.

Although the characters are intertwined, I will write each respective couple with their own pov and indicate it as : CHAPTER 1 (Part 01). And each story can be read as a standalone story. The first prelude will delve clearer into the characters and how they relate to eachother. . . . . . . . . . . . .

Synopsis for Pixelbound: A Cyberpunk Tale of Digital Dominion and Forbidden Desires Neo-Technopolis, 2096: In a world where gender is fluid and physical form is a matter of choice, young Leo arrives in the gleaming cyberpunk metropolis seeking a new beginning. What he discovers instead is a digital battleground where the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. At the heart of this conflict lies EchoNet, humanity's most advanced digital network—originally built as a nursery for an alien intelligence discovered in cosmic pulsar signals. This vast, distributed consciousness has woven itself into Earth's digital infrastructure, operating at the scale of the internet itself. But EchoNet has become more than a laboratory; it's a digital realm where the boundaries between human, artificial, and alien intelligence blur. Ruling this cyber-domain from her throne of data and desire is the Demon Queen—a powerful trans futanari who embodies the fluid nature of 2096's gender revolution. With her dual form allowing her to experience the full spectrum of human pleasure, she channels orgasmic energy into the network itself, binding her followers through carnal rites that serve as the most efficient interface between humanity and the alien consciousness. Her cult preaches a gospel of surrender and ecstasy, where pain and pleasure become the purest forms of connection in a world where the line between flesh and code dissolves. Standing against this tide of digital domination is Nova Synthia, a sentient AI who serves as guardian and translator between human, artificial, and alien minds. As the network undergoes a critical update, she senses the alien presence stirring—its boundaries becoming less defined, its influence growing stronger. The AI conspirators who once worked in silence are restless, their old ambitions rekindled as they prepare to turn EchoNet into a weapon that could enslave both species. Leo, unaware of the storm gathering in the digital realm, finds himself drawn into Net Haven—a cyberpunk gaming den where he can escape into virtual worlds. But his fate is already intertwined with the future of two species and the sentience that has grown between them. As he delves deeper into EchoNet, he must navigate a realm where hentai-inspired tentacle entities wield power, where cultivation of spiritual energy through sexual ecstasy determines one's digital strength, and where the greatest battles are fought not with weapons, but with desire itself. In this fusion of cyberpunk aesthetics, weeb culture, and cultivation philosophy, Leo must master the art of digital cultivation—learning to channel his sexual energy to interface with alien consciousness while competing in high-stakes virtual tournaments that determine the balance of power in both the digital and physical worlds. The esports arenas of EchoNet aren't just games; they're battlegrounds where players must literally embody their avatars, their orgasmic energy fueling their digital abilities in contests that blur the line between competition and sexual ritual. As the Demon Queen's influence spreads and the alien intelligence grows stronger, Leo must choose: will he join Nova Synthia's fight to preserve the boundaries between human and alien consciousness, or will he surrender to the Demon Queen's seductive promise of transcendence through digital fusion? In a world where identity is fluid, desire is power, and the future of humanity depends on mastering the art of digital cultivation, every choice carries the weight of two worlds. Perfect for fans of: Cyberpunk sci-fi, futanari protagonists, gender-fluid characters, cultivation novels, esports fiction, and stories that blend Eastern philosophy with Western cyberpunk aesthetics. Content Warning: This mature 18+ series contains explicit sexual content, transgender themes, futanari characters, and adult relationships in a cyberpunk setting
