Even within very little light, Master exuded a commanding presence; his stance was upright, and yet, he was soft enough to have the little pink tassel still on his waist. Just as she reached the end, Master took a few steps forward and raised his hand “Could I have the pleasure to escort you, Miss Asano?” Hatsuki’s eyes were expressive as they blinked a few times, staring to the core. Her hands, which were carefully pinching the hem of the skirt, left loose and stared at the Master for a few seconds. “You may, Sir…” She placed her hands on Yuki’s cold palms. His fingers little by little intertwined with her fingers while his free hand reached for her chin. The tip of his index fingers brushed on her soft skin as his face gently leaned towards her as well. Hatsuki had an unreadable expression, as though everything that was happening was just a dream. Feeling that Hatsuki’s focus wasn’t on him, Yuki swiftly glided Hatsuki, making her feel the presence. “Raise your head, You are now the strongest woman in the after realm” ~ After realm, under realm, and hidden realm all mean the same.

The legendary mercenary Great Emperor, the "Forbidden God King" Ye Chenfeng, had returned to the city, sweeping away everything with an invincible stance. He had unveiled millennia-old mysteries, Atlantis, the Maya civilization, and the astonishing secrets hidden beneath the Himalayas...

Aeger—a vassal kingdom both rich and ruined. A land of warriors and excess, ruled by twin kings who revel in debauchery yet remain unmatched in power. The empire seeks control, and the diarchs' elder sister, the Crown Princess, plays her own game—using Aeger to strengthen her hold on the court while trying to tame the brothers who threaten it. Marina Velkas, an Imperial Guard and reluctant governor, is sent to bring order. Instead, she is met with mockery in court, resistance in governance, and two kings who refuse to yield. Ruyi, sharp-tongued and reckless, enjoys breaking her defenses. Ruyel, cold and calculating, waits for her to surrender. But Marina does not break. She bends Aeger to her will, yet the kings remain watching, waiting. The court sees her as a passing intrigue, but whispers grow—of a bond that cannot be undone, of a governor who stands at the edge of something far greater. With the empire closing in and the kings tightening their claim, Marina must decide—continue fighting for a kingdom that will never be hers, or rise as its reluctant queen. [Formerly Sovereign of the Beasts. The first volume is seductive feline courtship and rather wholesome, but the first chapter is a throw forward to what would happen later.] ________________________________________ Excerpt: The Courtroom Duel Ruyi: “Denied.” Marina: “Of course it is.” Ruyel: “Try again with something less useless.” Marina: “Oh, I didn’t realize starving citizens were a matter of inconvenience to Your Majesties.” Ruyi: “They’re not starving. They’re simply unmotivated.” Marina: “Perhaps if you put more coin into infrastructure instead of your endless banquets, motivation wouldn’t be an issue.” Ruyel: “Careful, Governor. That sounds dangerously close to insubordination.” Marina: “And what will you do? Execute me for stating facts?” Ruyi: “Tempting, but then it would be too much paperwork?” Ruyel: “Answering another one of elder sister's calls isn't on my agenda.” Marina: “I just want a fair negotiation.” Ruyi: “It was, until you became insufferable.” Marina: “How terrible for you. A woman you can’t silence.” Ruyel: “Not yet.” (Laughter ripples through the court.) The Tiger’s Sparring Ground Marina: “Stop touching me like that.” Ruyel: “I’m correcting your stance.” Marina: “Find another student.” Ruyel: “I can’t.” Marina: “Why?” Ruyel: “Because no one else is worth my time.” Marina: “Then suffer alone.” Ruyel: “Oh, but I enjoy watching you suffer with me.” Marina: “You’re insufferable.” Ruyel: “And yet, your legs tremble every time I step too close.” Marina: “That’s from exhaustion.” Ruyel: “Liar.” Marina: “Get off me.” Ruyel: “No.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyel: “I know.” (Silence. Still trapped in his arms.) The Lion’s Den Marina: “Stop distracting me.” Ruyi: “But you’re so cute when you’re angry.” Marina: “You humiliated me today.” Ruyi: “And now I’m making up for it.” Marina: “By crawling into my bed?” Ruyi: “By holding the most important person in Aeger.” Marina: “I hate you.” Ruyi: “I know. Now, let me warm you up.” Marina: “You rejected my proposal.” Ruyi: “And I will approve it first thing in the morning.” Marina: “You—what?” Ruyi: “The only reason Aeger has more welfare programs than the empire now is because of how cute you are when you argue.” Marina: “That is not how governance works.” Ruyi: “That is exactly how governance works.” Marina: “You—” Ruyi: “Shh. Sleep, Marina.” (Tomorrow, the court will call her Governor. But tonight, she holds the true power.)

Being thrown into the game-world of [Call of the Black Magicians], Adam was forced to survive with no prior information. Except for his memories of the Game-World and his name, he did not have any memories of his previous life. But fret not, even though the Game-World had many perils and was on the verge of extinction at every next step, it also had its beauty and magic, one to die for. With the authority of [Player], he could save and restart until he achieved his desired result.  He could learn skills of the ‘NPCs’ and achieve the results like the ‘Players.’  He could literally solo the entire game world to achieve his desired results. Whether he wants to save the world or destroy it, he could do it… as many times as he wishes. Even the [Black Magicians] won’t be able to do anything about it… probably. But was it all there was to it? [Beta Version 0.1 will begin in 6 Months: 29 days: 23 Hours!] I guess not… … Description: In the World of Zarraf, their lives Gods, not all Gods are good and certainly none are without motives.  They rule the world’s 7 nations:  The Nation of Light and Sun The Nation of Water The Nation of Fire The Nation of Life The Nation of Earth The Nation of Moon The Nation of Wind Each ruled by a goddess that has their own stance in their ruling.  But that is only the first page of this world. The second page colors the Ancient Gods of Corruption, Rage, Curse, Death and Hate. The third belongs the Seven Sins’ Incarnations that are ready to succeed the Ancient Gods. The Fourth is of the Witches who stand against all Gods equally. And the Final Page colors the [Immortals] or otherwise known as [Players] that will be summoned to bring Chaos to this world. A World that was meant to be destroyed. Such is the fate of the world of Zarraf, as powers beyond the realm of mortals threaten the dynamic equilibrium of their existence. In the end, the world was prophesied to be destroyed by one cause or another. Nothing could prevent looming destruction… Or so... It was supposed to happen… … Hey, Author here to give a quick glance at a couple of things that are normally asked. Harem? Yes Romance? Yes System? Obviously Smut? Oh yes! Adventure RPG? Yes. Power Creeping? Not really. Overpowered? Depends on how you see it Smart MC? I guess so.  Wise MC? Yes Something you need to know before you read The MC has the ability to [Save] a point (there are some conditions), with which he can return in time. So basically, he is an immortal. Though that doesn’t make him invincible from the start, rather he grows by making correct choices. The World is dynamic and pretty much anything can happen anytime. (It’s just my way of saying that there will be twists… pretty much unexpected ones as well).  And then there will be solutions to those unexpected situations as well, depending upon the absurdity of it. (I won’t have any more plot armor since I gave him a pretty big buff of immortality, so everything will be connected and won’t just happen by luck. Everything will be cleared by the end of an arc, so you need to be patient before deciding on it.) It has a mix of everything. Thriller, Adventure, Action, Smut, Romance, Slice of Life, etc. so there is that as well. ……. [Mature Warning: This Novel Contains R-18 Content!] https://discord.gg/2swHXduWg3

No one really knows what it feels like to love someone so much that it hurts—to burn in that love, knowing it might destroy you. Kind never planned to fall for someone, especially not for someone like June. All his life, he’s believed he brings bad luck to the people he loves. So when June walks into his life, Kind does what he’s always done—he pulls away. But June isn’t the type to give up so easily. He’s a dreamer, a singer searching for a love story worth writing about. And when he looks at Kind, he sees something more than just bad luck—he sees someone worth loving. At first, Kind fights it. He distances himself, convinced that loving June will only bring him pain. But June refuses to let Kind’s fears push him away. Slowly, he helps Kind see that love isn’t about fate—it’s about choice. And for the first time in his life, Kind chooses love. He chooses June. But just when they think they’ve found their forever, reality crashes in. The universe gives them only eight days—eight days to love each other before everything falls apart. Why does fate refuse to let them be together? Is it their families? Society? Or is there something even more cruel waiting for them? Eight days. One love story. A fight against fate.

But her life takes a dark turn when a malicious stepmother and a conniving imposter throw her out of her own home.

Yet, as she distances herself from the family that discarded her, she unexpectedly discovers their longing for her return.

But Emma, who has learned the value of self-worth and resilience, must decide whether to forgive those who wronged her or carve out a new path on her own.

In the labyrinthine heart of a city perpetually teetering on the brink of chaos, where shadows conceal the lurking menace of hardened criminals and danger lurks around every corner, the elite Special Weapons and Tactics team, known as S.W.A.T., stands as the unwavering shield protecting the innocent. Their mission: to restore order from the precipice of anarchy, to navigate the treacherous terrain of high-stakes confrontations, and to ensure the city's survival against the relentless tide of lawlessness. Leading this crack team is Sergeant John Tuck, a man known simply as "Tucker"—a seasoned veteran whose steely gaze belies a sharp mind and unwavering resolve. His leadership is forged in the crucible of countless perilous operations, his decisions often the difference between life and death. Under his command is a brotherhood of highly skilled operatives, each a specialist in their own right, bound together by shared experiences and an unbreakable loyalty. There's David, the meticulous strategist, whose analytical prowess anticipates every move of their adversaries; Devlin, the explosive expert, whose controlled detonations open paths through seemingly impenetrable obstacles; Hodges, the sharpshooter, whose precision is legendary, capable of neutralizing threats from impossible distances; Bravo, the master of infiltration, whose stealth and cunning allow them to penetrate the most heavily guarded strongholds; and Buck, the unwavering force, whose raw strength and tactical acumen provide an impenetrable wall of defense. Together, this tightly knit unit faces down the city's most dangerous elements, confronting heavily armed gangs, sophisticated criminal organizations, and desperate individuals pushed to the edge. Their battles are fought not just on the streets, but within the confines of their own minds, as they grapple with the moral ambiguities of their profession, the psychological toll of constant exposure to violence, and the ever-present threat hanging over their lives and the lives of those they protect. This is their story—a story of courage, sacrifice, and the unwavering dedication to upholding justice in a city that desperately needs it.

**Synopsis of *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond*** Nael Supremium is no hero. He is a monster, cold, calculating, and indifferent to the world around him. Born from chaos, raised in darkness, and molded by betrayal and violence, he walks a path where every step is meticulously planned, and every action is weighed against its consequence. He carries a soul so powerful that it threatens to consume him, forcing him to seal his consciousness in a desperate attempt to contain the beast within. Yet, despite the nightmare he houses, he does not let it wreak havoc on the innocent. He controls it, distances himself from relationships and conflict, seeking only to maintain balance, to remain distant and cold in a world that demands more. When a transcendental being offers every soul a chance to enter a new reality, Nael’s cold, indifferent life takes an unexpected turn. Thousands of reincarnated, transmigrated, and divine beings enter universes of cultivation and magic, each guided by their own powerful systems, all fighting for power and supremacy. Yet, Nael has no interest in their games. His only goal is to transcend his existence, to break the limits of his soul and reshape his reality. For Nael, there are no allegiances, no noble pursuits—only the calm, precise execution of every move he makes. His system, enigmatic and mysterious, rewards him when he breaks boundaries—whether physical, mental, or existential. It is not a tool for instant success, but a means of testing his limits, of pushing him toward something beyond what is even conceivable. Alongside his best friend, a cultivator with the Emotion System, Nael advances, his cold resolve unwavering. But there are things in this universe he despises: those who manipulate others through power and deceit, those who use systems like NTR and heroine conquest to feed their desires. When they dare to touch what Nael values—even if it’s only a sliver—he reacts without hesitation. Nael is not vengeful; he does not obsess over petty revenge. His anger is simple, primal. If you push him past a certain point, his wrath will consume everything in its path. In that moment, even the devil would seem like an angel by his side. His actions are swift and without mercy, his judgment as cold as the heart of the monster he carries within. In a universe where bodies, souls, and destinies span from the immortal to the primordial, where divine children, legendary treasures, and otherworldly forces battle for supremacy, Nael stands apart. He is not here for glory, not for fame, and certainly not for the adulation of the weak. His only ambition is to transcend reality itself, to break the walls of the Omniverse and rewrite the laws that govern existence. *Nael Supremium: Ascension of the Immortal Soul? Or Something Far Beyond!* is a story that will take you to the edge of darkness, where mystery, power, and redemption intertwine in a journey unlike any other. A man who is no hero, no savior, but a force of nature who moves through the world with cold calculation and ruthless precision. In a world governed by destiny and divine laws, Nael is the one who refuses to bend. His soul is his only master, and if you dare to push him too far, you will learn that even the devil’s wrath pales in comparison to what lies within him. What is stronger: the destiny that governs all, or the soul that refuses to be controlled? **Comment from the author, NaelSupremium:** *"This is not a tale of redemption or heroism. It’s the story of a man who is a monster by choice, who battles the demons within himself while keeping the world at arm's length. He doesn’t need a system to define him. His path is his own, and if you cross him, it’s your end. No mercy, no second chances—just cold, calculated vengeance."*

On our earth, suddenly swarmed with monsters, the distances between social classes have neared zero, and everyone is fervently questioning, "Who deserves to be saved and who deserves to die?" "Do the rich deserve to live? " Is what a schoolboy said, glaring coldly at another school boy. 'Will I survive this hell hole?' is what Angela asked herself, hearing the boy's question. Wasn't losing her job and money enough? Does she really not even deserve to live this hellish life? Inevitably, there soon will be a new hierarchy. Not only between the awakened and not awakened. Between those who have had mana in thier life even before the arrival of monsters. Those who call this phenomena ARRIVAL OF HELL. Where in this hierarchy will Angela get allocated? "We need to see each other's states window to be able to choose reliable comrades in arm! This way we can..." An insidious person, getting a curse instead of an ability: [Congratulations, you have accrued the name: "The villainess!"] Even if she was them, she too would refuse to be in the same group as someone with a nickname like that and trash abilities like: "leader of villains" or "Part of the wall"... If she is the villainess, there must be a hero and heroin too. Will she survive? #INTROVERT #Villain #Villainess #extrovert #survival #magicalsetting #apocalypse #inhertance #satisfaying #werwolfs #

(BOYS' LOVE) When Tai Yang, a young, handsome yet introverted scientist gets hauled into one of the alternate Universes (by a dog-eared man claiming that staying on Earth would kill him), four things become especially clear. One: his black belt in karate is useless against the strange, magical, anime-looking spells of the alternate world. Two: he needs to stop getting lured into human birdcages even if there is 4-ply toilet paper in them. Three, Prince Li Jun is an asshole on Earth and in the alternate universe too! Desperately trying to return to his world, Tai Yang manages to escape several times. The problem? He keeps bringing the annoying Prince back to Earth with him where another Li Jun already exists! And after a while, it seems Prince Li Jun has gotten too fond of having him as a personal bird-cage advisor to let him escape to Earth easily, making Tai Yang's life even harder. But his behavior starts to change; why? Is Li Jun really only keeping him around for relationship advice? Or does the late-night sight-seeing, and attempts to make him immortal mean something? What do the close proximities, hand-holding, and stares mean? The fourth thing that becomes clear to Tai Yang is that he has to disappear before he actually falls for that narcissistic Prince who seems to have no intention of catching him. ...Or does he? Join Tai Yang to find out!

Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan categorically said that his government won’t recognize Israel until the Palestinian people have their own state. “Our stance is obvious. It’s something which Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah (Founder of Pakistan) made clear back in 1948. That we can not accept Israel until Palestinians get their rights as per the two-state solution,” he said during a TV interview on Tuesday. “If we accept normalisation of ties with Israel then we would have to give up the Kashmir cause.” His comments come days after the United Arab Emirates (UAE) said it is establishing diplomatic and economic relations with Israel, clearing the way for the Gulf country to accept the Jewish state.

In the year 2147, humanity has mastered the ultimate technological breakthrough: Rebirth Technology, a system capable of resurrecting the greatest warriors of history at their peak. Legends such as Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali, and Mas Oyama now walk the earth once more, their mastery of combat reshaping the world. Martial arts is no longer just a discipline—it is the very foundation of power, economy, and society.

In the heat of battle, a mysterious Combat System awakens within him—a system that allows him to analyze and replicate the techniques of his opponents, unlocking a path to rival even the reborn legends. As Ryun rises through the ranks, he finds himself crossing paths with the greatest warriors of all time. Bruce Lee, the embodiment of speed, philosophy, and innovation in combat. Muhammad Ali, a charismatic and calculating strategist with a flair for showmanship. Mas Oyama, a stoic and unyielding master of Kyokushin Karate. In a world where the legends of the past overshadow the warriors of the present, Ryun must not only fight for his place among them but also decide what it means to forge his own legacy. Will he stand as a beacon of change, or will the weight of history crush him? The clash between tradition and innovation as Ryun challenges the dominance of the reborn legends. The moral dilemmas of power, as the Council’s secrets unravel and the true price of reincarnation is revealed. An underdog’s journey to greatness, as Ryun learns to balance his raw talent with the responsibility of wielding the Combat System. In Legends Reborn: The Combat System, the stage is set for an epic tale of action, philosophy, and rebellion. Will the past forever dictate the future, or will one fighter break the cycle?

The world is on the brink. A cataclysmic event, a threat of unimaginable proportions, looms large on the horizon. But hope, however fragile, still flickers. In the heart of this impending doom lies a group of extraordinary individuals: the Chosen. Each possesses unique abilities, ranked from the weakest E-Class to the supremely powerful S-Class. They are the last line of defense, humanity’s only hope against the encroaching darkness. This is a world where power is not simply bestowed, but forged through relentless training, strategic thinking, and the unwavering belief in oneself. Our story centers on Kai, a Chosen with a seemingly insignificant ability: short-range teleportation, a mere twice-daily flicker across short distances – an E-Class power in a world dominated by the elite. But Kai refuses to be defined by his limitations. He sees his ability not as a weakness, but as a foundation—a springboard for growth, a tool to be sharpened and honed to its full potential. He's an underdog, a quiet observer, but his determination burns bright. His journey is one of selfdiscovery, mastering his abilities, and uncovering the secrets of the looming apocalypse. He'll forge alliances, face betrayals, and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. He will train relentlessly, pushing his limits, learning to leverage the strengths of others, and ultimately defining what it means to be strong. This isn't just a fight for survival; it's a journey of self-improvement, a testament to the power of the human spirit, and a thrilling exploration of what happens when ordinary individuals are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. Prepare yourself for a fast-paced adventure filled with epic battles, unexpected twists, and the ultimate triumph of the human spirit. The game has begun, and the stakes are higher than ever.

Earth, 1957. In a secluded and forgotten corner of the world, a being unlike any other is born — an extraordinary hybrid of bear and human. Hidden from the world, he is raised in secret by a woman who becomes his teacher, his guide, and his only family. From her, he learns the ways of humanity: language, knowledge, and emotions. His mind grows rapidly, far surpassing human intellect, and his strength is unmatched. But peace is fleeting. Their sanctuary is discovered by government forces. In the chaos that follows, he protects the woman, giving her a chance to escape. Overwhelmed by his growing instincts and the violence within him, he makes a choice. Fearing he might one day hurt her, he distances himself from her. He leaves. She disappears into the world of humans, while he is left with only the wilderness as his refuge. Alone and hunted, he vanishes into the depths of nature. Time passes, and with it, he forgets. His mind, once sharp and brilliant, is dulled by instinct. He forgets what it means to be human. One day, fate calls him back. While wandering the forest, he witnesses an attack — a wild bear mauling a man. Something stirs within him. Memories. Instincts. He intervenes. He fights. He kills. The man, paralyzed by fear, watches in disbelief. But then, something impossible happens. The hybrid speaks. His voice, rough and broken, echoes through the forest. The man collapses in shock. But this is only the beginning. Unknown to him, he is not the only one of his kind. The truth of his origins is tied to beings far older than humanity. They created him. They watch him. And they have plans for him. His journey will span centuries, through war, solitude, and discovery, as he faces the ultimate question: Is he man, beast, or something far beyond either? “Echoes from the Eternal” is a raw, powerful tale of evolution, identity, and survival. Through the eyes of the hybrid, readers experience a world both familiar and alien, brutal and profound. His story is one of silence and echoes — echoes that will reverberate across the ages.

~When dust turns to gold~ Following an invasion by a reptile-like species called Khalgora in the year 2043, humanity is forced to take a final stance in a gruesome confrontation that threatened it's existence into an apocalyptic demise. After decades of tactical execution of all its skills and resources man triumphs over beast. But only barely. With stenches of death and wails of suffering, the earth is left desolate, infertile with an atmosphere deteriorating at an alarming speed. The only habitat lies below. Year 2311. Welcome to STEM city. STEM (an abbreviation for ' Safe Territorially Erected Megalopolis'), is an underground Empire and home to the surviving earth inhabitants, sheltering them from the harsh conditions of the rubbled earth's surface. But even in this city where intellectual geniuses wheeled a minor underground refuge operation to a major megalopolis, slums existed. These slums like any other, are regions with insufficient supply of amenities from the Megalopolis' authority leading to hunger, suffocation and high rate of death by major lung diseases.

However, Qin Lan is walking into a marriage built on shadows.
