Warning: contents may be too hot to handle. Prolonged exposure may lead to steamy daydreams and spontaneous blushing. Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and Asli knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. ******* Asli is the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. She wears that title with fierce pride, commanding fear and ensuring that no one dares to cross her. But everything changes when she crosses paths with her sworn enemy, Ahmet. Ahmet and his family have been the targets of her carefully laid plans for revenge since she was six. However, Asli's mission takes a dangerous turn when Ahmet discovers a secret she desperately wants to keep hidden. With her nanny’s life hanging in the balance, she finds herself caught in a deadly game, one where Ahmet blackmails her, demanding something she has never given to anyone, let alone her enemy. The line between hate and desire blurs dangerously as she finds herself trapped in a situation that forces her to confront feelings she never expected to have. To make matters worse, Asli despises herself for the pleasure she secretly takes in his control.

Heaven, hell, and the world themselves have forgotten a prominent figure that once stood at the pinnacle. Alas, the said figure himself forgot who he was. Lyon is a young man who lived a leisurely life on earth. Not much was said except that he enjoyed such a life. However, one fateful night sent him to the world where killing is not a sin, alchemy is a thing, and magic cultivation is not imaginary. Immediately after being sent to this world. He is met with a beautiful woman who rumbled the earth and cracked the very firmament under the mortals' eyes. Selena is her name. She claimed to be his wife, the first one of three. However, their meetings didn't last long due to circumstances that he has yet understood. With one wedding ring on his finger that contained half of his past power, he sets forth to find Cecile, the woman whom Selena said is a queen in Blue Continent, the other wife that he adored then. But, he lacked focus at times, and combined with his whimsical nature, he often finds himself, in unusual situations. His smirk and lazy demeanor brought nothing but trouble for himself and the others around him. His relentless nature of stealing, his rebellious adolescence year, and the capability to smile by the teeth of a gnawing dragon brought his charm to a height that fairies once forget. Though his perverted nature often gets them to scurry away almost immediately, those that stayed long enough to know him better, know the redeeming qualities of Lyon Torga as a whole. Regardless! His arrival in this world has rotated an old cog of fate that those old monsters and old kings in the ages of the ancients, would have never guessed to be working again.

But behind the scenes, he uses his greed to secretly amass wealth and power, without leaving a trace. One side with a bad reputation, the other side reigning over the world! The Empress, with tears falling silently, speaks her truth: "My love, I yield to you. Come to my palace tonight!" The talented and beautiful women of the court speak out: "My lord, no matter how the world looks at you, I will be with you as your partner in life and death!" The heroic women of the martial world declare: "To fulfill Lion's destiny, we will cross any obstacle!" Others ask in confusion: "He is clearly a despicable person, why are you still protecting him?"

Jim was an undeniably ordinary boy. He was neither athletic nor particularly skilled at anything, and while he wasn't ugly, he certainly wasn't stunning either. In every conceivable way, he was unremarkable. Yet, he embraced this reality without hesitation; he was entirely comfortable in his skin. Indifference defined his attitude toward the world around him, including his existence. The popularity and social status dynamics held no sway over him; he didn’t care. His primary desire was to unwind and enjoy life. However, fate dealt him a powerful blow—he acquired an ability that would significantly impact the one thing he cherished most. True curses always come disguised as gifts, and Jim was about to discover that the hard way.

"What will you do if life suddenly offers you a second chance? When your heart freezes in fear and your hands tremble with helplessness... What will you choose? To give up or to fight? Welcome to a world where magic is not a privilege but a weapon wielded by the strongest. Here, there is no room for mistakes, and the price of failure is... Death." "After the anomaly on the Sun, the world changed forever. People began to be born with a mysterious organ — The Mana Core — that could grant extraordinary abilities. However, not everyone could awaken this power. Those who did became known as 'Celestials' — guardians of humanity standing on the border between the human world and the nightmare spilling from the mystical Gates." "Park Hyun Woo, an ordinary young boy from Seoul, South Korea has been forced to care for his younger sister after losing their parents, working tirelessly day and night. One day, he decides to change his fate and take the test to awaken his Mana Core. But his results are far from ideal: He becomes one of the weakest Celestial (Hunter), an E-rank holder. Yet destiny has something much greater in store for him." "Caught in an ambush within the Gates, Hyun Woo becomes the sole survivor of his group. Upon awakening, he discovers he has gained a unique ability — a System that transforms his life into something akin to a game. Now, a path of strength, struggle, and mysteries lies ahead, leading him to uncover not only the secrets of his past but also the true nature of magic itself." "Can Park Hyun Woo, starting from the very bottom, rise to the top? What price will he have to pay for the power to change the world? And who — or what — is behind the System that now controls his life?"

The most unluckiest man ever alive yeah that's me thank you to tell you the truth I died after a torture of 25 years and then the torture is not completed I got reincarnated in a novel I read.

Meet Li Wei, a history loving grad student with the worst luck in the modern job market. He's dreamed his whole life about changing society maybe even becoming a wise leader in some ancient dynasty. His favorite era? Ancient China, of course, with its brave heroes, clever warlords, and fascinating politics. Only problem? There’s no job for “aspiring historical visionary” in the classifieds. But one day, fate steps in. After a (heroic, if he does say so himself) rescue of a little girl from an oncoming car, Li Wei opens his eyes… to find himself staring up at the ceiling of a palace. Turns out he’s been reincarnated as an 18 year old emperor in a world that looks suspiciously like ancient China, but with a twist. And guess what? The kingdom’s in shambles. There’s corruption everywhere, taxes are sky high, commoners are struggling to survive, and his court treats him like an adorable but useless figurehead. Most people would freak out, but not Li Wei. This is his chance. Armed with his love for history, a little bit of modern knowledge, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, Li Wei is determined to make some big changes. He’s going to pull his kingdom out of the mud, whether his scheming advisors and grumpy generals like it or not. Along the way, he’ll build an army, make new friends (and enemies), and maybe just maybe become the kind of ruler everyone fears but secretly loves. Get ready for a comedic adventure full of witty one liners, dramatic reforms, and plenty of awkward encounters as Li Wei attempts to turn his impossible dream into a hilarious reality. This emperor’s got his work cut out for him, but he’s not backing down. After all, it’s not every day you get a second chance to rule a kingdom, right?

After a brutal coup wipes out the royal family of House Silverleaf, Prince Arin is thrust into the role of Emperor, a position he never desired. In the decadent and corrupt empire of Elaria, Arin—a trap with an alluring beauty—must navigate a treacherous court filled with nobles who feign loyalty while secretly plotting against him. Many ambitious lords and ladies outside the capital yearn to usurp the throne or carve out their own kingdoms, viewing Arin as a mere puppet in a game of power. Determined to gain control over his fractured empire and find the person responsible for the assassination of his family—especially his beloved mother, the only one who ever truly loved him—Arin must tread carefully in a society where status and influence mean everything. In Elaria’s sexually liberated society, open intimacy during court proceedings is a privilege reserved solely for the Emperor, making Arin both an object of desire and a target for manipulation. Among the common people, public displays of affection are neither encouraged nor criticized, treated with indifference. In stark contrast, nobles flaunt their desires freely, wielding their power without fear of repercussion. High-ranking nobles may engage in acts of dominance over others, while lower-ranking nobles risk being targeted if they flaunt their influence too openly. As Arin learns to wield his charm and seduction like a weapon, he must confront the pervasive corruption that threatens to tear his empire apart. In a world driven by lust, ambition, and betrayal, Arin faces a relentless battle—not only to keep his throne but to avenge his family and restore his empire’s integrity from within.

NOTE: Chapters are LONG, ~10X normal. When college physics student Mizuki Hakuto faces the obligatory bus-kun death of all isekai protagonists, he's brought face-to-face with a divine entity. When not mocking Mizuki, the so-called godling explains the nature of the universe – gods, godlings, mythical beasts, and more. Most importantly, magic is real. Just...not on Earth. Inspired by Earth's manga and having a penchant for drama, the godling offers him the opportunity to experience these things on a different world. The world is ruled by a strange god that treats it like a divine petri dish, and it's filled with interesting creatures the god collected from all across the universe. The god of this strange planet seems welcoming and helpful at first, but Mizuki quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in the magical world of Azura. Wielding science and newfound sorcery, Mizuki investigates the fundamental laws of magic, the nature of the divine, and more, but his progress is watched in secret by powerful forces. As he gains knowledge and power, and his darker nature is revealed, will the gods sit idly by? FAQ: Q – What's the overall tone of this story? A – It seems pretty lighthearted at first, but the trajectory of the story makes it progressively darker. I'd say the story takes itself fairly serious at times, but the characters' personalities lend to plenty of comedic dialogue. Especially in the lull between major events. Q – Isekai tropes? A – Yes. Some are leaned into, some are mocked, but most make an appearance in some form. Q – Is the MC's prior life relevant? A – Yes! The MC relies heavily on knowledge specific to Earth, and especially his science background. The MC trying to reconcile his scientific understanding from Earth with this newfound variable of magic is a major theme of the story. Q – How is the MC isekai'd? Is he reincarnated? A – In the most tropey way possible, of course. He gets hit by a bus. After dying, he's resurrected in his original body and sent to another world as an adult. Q – Is there slavery in this isekai? A – Yes, and it's not a pretty industry. However, the MC detests the slavery on Azura. The story won't shy away from the effect it has on the lives of those the MC meets. This will not be one of those stories where the MC virtue signals about how bad slavery is, but inexplicably keeps slaves of their own and it's painted as 'good' because the slaves are 'treated well'. Q – Is the MC overpowered? A – Absolutely, but this will vary as the story progresses and the MC's frame of reference and knowledge changes. It's meant as a kind of transient 'incubation' phase for the MC, where we see how having seemingly absolute power affects his personality and decisions. It helps reveal his true, unrestricted self. Q – Is this another self-insert isekai story? A – I certainly think that's true of the MC early on in the series – it takes a while to learn much about his personal life on Earth or personality. We're watching an MC who seems to be a reactionary person on Earth, just going through the motions, necessarily develop more of a sense of self in a world where his actions are more consequential. Q – You tagged this as 'romance'...is there a harem? A – Yup. The MC eventually has two romantic partners, though one is a bit more dominant. So, think more Tsukimichi, less late-game Arifureta.

In this world, ascending to upper realms is a matter of resources and ability. No matter the status or power level, if you have the money and the willingness to, you can live in any realm of your choosing.
