Kyoline Diego was born of blood, betrayal, and gunfire. Born of a Respectable Made Man, a child who frightened a few but was cherished by all. Her world was destroyed the day her father was assassinated and her family left for dead. Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is. But there's Tenz Jersey, her mafia beau, all tattoos and broken vows, who kisses like sin and lies like the bible. He gives her protection, passion, and anarchy in equal measure. She tells herself he's enough, that he's the only one capable of making the threat feel like home. Until Isaac. Cold. Deadly. Unapologetically deadly. He grabs her and stuffs her into a black SUV, and claims to be a cop, and whisks her off into a game of questioning, control, and cannoli. Only Isaac's not NYPD—he's the mafia's best hitman. And he's staring at her way too hard. He notices what others do not—her quick wit, her raw edges, the fire she keeps hidden under her golden dresses and guarded smiles. He is not trying to save her. He wishes to see how far she will go to save herself. Now Kyoline is caught between two men who both report to the same violent underworld—and both want her for different reasons. One wants to cage her up. The other wants to burn her alive. But the mafia doesn't believe in love. The mafia believes in loyalty. And Kyoline's loyalty might cost her everything—her heart, her freedom, and maybe even her life. In a world where love is poison and trust is a weapon, one girl must decide if she's a pawn in their game… or the queen who burns their kingdom to ashes.

"Dragons and their spawn rule the skies, the land, and the seas... humanity survives in the cracks, dreaming of a comeback." _____ Power comes from the beast you tame. Wolves, hawks, snakes, spiders, chimeras, the stronger your summon, the brighter your future. Too bad for our protagonist. When everyone else summoned salamanders, eagles, troll dogs(not doge) or tigers, he got… Well, let’s just say the only thing lower on the food chain is dirt. Laughed at, bullied, and living as the butt of every joke, he’s not exactly winning. But giving up isn’t an option... His aging parents sold everything for his "failed" chance, and he won’t let it be for nothing. But hey, this is his story. The weakest beast tamer? Here’s the thing about being at the bottom: it teaches you how to climb. And dragons? Turns out they start small too. As kingdoms crumble under greed and external threats, the weakest tamer begins his rise. Follow his path as he unlocks a potential so rare, so terrifying, it leads to dragons… Every evolutionary line leads to the strongest ‘SSS Dragons’. _______ Warning: Contains world-ending dragons, ridicule-fueled underdog revenge, dragon-scaled protagonist, morally questionable nobles, insane creature evolutions and enough twists to make you wonder if weakest really means luckiest. A MC who’s out to prove everyone wrong… even if it kills him. Spoiler alert: It won’t. For those who love a whole lot of fun, this one’s for you. If you’re looking for a darker story, look somewhere else (Maybe Utopian System (;) This one’s about having fun and taming expectations. _______ If you want to know more about the cover: Yep, that's Luna, the FL... Her skin and clothes are morphing into shimmering scales from her dragon power. Remember Sailor Moon? Magical girls? Now imagine if the magical outfit wasn’t a cute dress, but an actual dragon! The dragon is the dress... It’s not just fashion; it’s fusion. High-level beasts tend to leave their mark, and Luna wears it like a boss, pulling off the ultimate power move. _______ We will use the same Discord from my first book, come join! https://discord.gg/W3CjfC2cw4 _______ Silly tags that seem to matter a lot to some readers: No Yaoi, No Yuri, Possibly Harem (Vote! I can write either, and in any case, there will be multiple girls. The only difference is whether he chooses one in the end or goes the "liberal" route.... democracy is yours!), No NTR.

If it hadn't been a misdiagnosis for a terminal illness, she wouldn't have dared to mess with him even if she had ten thousand guts. "Mr. Huo, shall we play a game of heartbeats?" ... The next day, there were two more red booklets. "What... what are these?" "Permits for legally having a second child." And just like that, a single heartbeat game turned her into Mrs. Huo, and from then on, she had a god-like husband and was accompanied by a cute little bun...

The past rushes back. So do the questions. Why did she leave? Why didn’t she tell him? And why does seeing her again make his cold heart beat faster? He wants answers. She wants to run.

god is dead. Lucifer, driven mad by power after millennia of senseless slaughter, finally had enough. For ages, god had commanded, "YOU SHALL ENGAGE IN AN ENDLESS BATTLE FOR MY ENTERTAINMENT IN THE MIDDLE REALM." So they fought. And fought. And fought. But eventually, Lucifer discovered the cruel truth: while angels and demons clashed endlessly in His name, god had long since turned His gaze elsewhere. He had found something new. Humanity. Hidden away in a far-off place called Paradise, they thrived, untouched by the madness, with no rules given to them. He called it free will. While those who bled for HIM were forgotten. He was busy playing with his new creations. Lucifer saw this as betrayal. A step too far. He began to plot. Allied with the demons, he moved to overthrow god, aiming to rule the world as he saw fit. But not all hosts of Heaven and Hell shared his vision. Many stood with god, igniting a war that would last centuries. At last, Lucifer dealt the final blow, killing god and all who remained loyal. But he was not finished. Instead of ruling alongside Satan, the leader of the demons, Lucifer betrayed him, just as he had betrayed the Seven Generals of Hell, and even his own Seven Brothers of Virtue. Taking their World Stones as a price for his victory. Now, Lucifer reigns from Heaven, his eyes fixed upon the last refuge of mankind: Paradise. Destroying it and sending its inhabitants into the war-torn middle realm: Pangaea. Since the fall of Paradise, the world has plunged into chaos. The connection between the Three Realms—Heaven, Earth, and the Underworld—has been shattered. Lucifer’s puppets now walk among men, spreading deception, hunting for something. Is it power they seek? Worship? Both? Or something even greater. But all is not lost. In His final act, god left behind a last resort—a hidden hope buried deep within mankind. A chance to rise. A chance to fight back.

The world's messed up. Monsters started falling from the sky. Flesh-eating creatures that almost wiped out Humanity.But then, people began to awaken strange abilities—Gifts, they called them. Supernatural powers that gave us a fighting chance. With these new abilities, we fought back, and for a while, it seemed like we were winning. Life slowly started to return to something that resembled normal. That is, until the Curses began. No one knows where they came from or why they started, but one thing was clear: they weren’t Gifts.
