Touching Solitude Twilight

There lived a feeble boy on the streets who struggled to survive, but couldn’t give up on life despite how harsh the going got, trying to survive death which loomed closer by the second. Even then, how long can one really survive hunger? So, he reluctantly welcomed his ultimate demise during a heavy rainy afternoon. Thunder crackled and lightning flashed, which casted the shadow of someone near him; as he lifted his gaze to see whom it belonged to, he saw a girl with soulless eyes, holding onto a bloody knife, who granted him with the peace he so very desired.

Joon never asked to be isekai’d. One minute, he was living his painfully average life—dodging responsibilities, talking shit online, and absolutely not taking anything seriously. The next, he woke up in a mysterious tower filled with monsters, martial artists, and overpowered lunatics. Good news? He has a broken system that lets him copy enemy moves and make them twice as strong. Bad news? The system never shuts up, he’s constantly thrown into death matches, and somehow… he keeps winning in the most bullshit ways possible. From one-shotting martial arts masters to out-trolling ancient council members, Joon climbs the tower with a grin, a middle finger to logic, and a growing list of people who either want him dead… or worship the ground he walks on. But as he rises, so do the whispers of a legend—the Twilight Joker. A name feared. A title now tied to him. And if there’s one thing Joon knows, it’s this: He’s about to become the biggest fucking headache this world has ever seen.

Whenever the name Yu YongTian was spoken, it was only in hushed whispers— "Shh! Woe to you for evoking the devil." "Do you have a death wish?" " "Fools whisper his name only if they seek their ruin." Soon after, the summoner would vanish, never to be seen again. Rumors swirled that Yu YongTian took them captive, turning them into vessels to build a demonic army, a force he would use to wreak havoc on the mortal world. His hatred for mortals, and especially the Immortal Sects, was the stuff of legends. So, it was believed by many. ___________ After years of relentless pursuit, Shen YiJun finally crosses paths with him again. But Yu YongTian's first words are as infuriating as ever— "YiJun, I really missed you all these years. Did you miss me?" And Shen YiJun, without hesitation, replies, "Come back with me, Yu YongTian." But Yu YongTian, ever fanning himself with mocking grace, smirks: "If YiJun also misses his Shixiong so much, I'll allow you to… come with me." Thus, Shen YiJun finds himself 'willingly' taken captive by the man he is supposed to stop. _____________ This is a story of Yu YongTian and Shen YiJun, disciples raised under the same sect and master but as incompatible as fire and ice. And when an extrovert meets an introvert, chaos ensues. That is until tragedy strikes and Yu YongTian falls, becoming a feared Demon Lord. Now, Shen YiJun, seen as the only one capable of stopping him, must confront not only Yu YongTian but also the hidden feelings he harbours for him. As secrets unravel, questions also loom: What role does the heaven play in their destinies? And why must the Heavenly Emperor himself descend to interfere?

I shake my head and whisper back to him, "The 11th house will follow me to the ends of the earth to extinguish my family's line after what my father did. If I lead you, I just doom you all." My beta, Fred, struggles to control his wolf and grips my arm, "We're even more doomed without you." I only have one way to truly save my people and that's to replace the murdered queen. I'm of the blood, as the last touched I can challenge the rites at any time to claim her throne. This was always my privilege, instilled in me since birth. Though I had no desire to take on her mantle, she'd been a kind enough monarch. I had no choice now. If I became queen my pack would replace the 11th as the royal pack and they'd become untouchable by the other houses. It was a gamble, one that would likely kill me, but it was the only play that I had left. And so, dear reader, this is the story of how I signed up for my own doom. How I became the willing participant in the rite of queens and lost the one true love of my life.

Synopsis: In a world where Alphas rule with absolute power, Alpha Caidren Thorne stands above them all—a warlord feared for his cruelty, a ruler whose hands are stained with the blood of both enemies and kin. His lands are harsh, his rule even harsher, and his name alone is enough to strike terror into the hearts of those who hear it. But there is a darker truth hidden beneath his legend. Every Omega sent to him has perished. No one knows why. No one dares to ask. Some whisper that his presence alone is enough to snuff out their fragile lives, that no Omega can withstand his brutality. Others say that he is cursed, doomed to be alone forever. But Caidren does not care. He has never let anyone close—not a mate, not a lover, not even his own people. His heart is stone, and his hands are weapons. When the noble House Velmire is forced to offer him an Omega, they do not send their treasured daughter. Instead, they send Elias—an adopted outcast, a boy without a place in their world. Elias has spent his life alone, unwanted, and now, he is being sent to a fate worse than death. And when he arrives at the Bloodfang Stronghold, he is welcomed by a scene of horror. A man clothed in black can be seen writhing in agony. Blood soaking the ground. And standing above it all, delivering judgment with cold precision, is Alpha Caidren. Elias’ fear takes root instantly. This man is no savior. He is death itself. Caidren barely acknowledges him, dismissing him with a single glance. Another Omega. Another life that will soon disappear. But Elias does not die. Days pass. Then weeks. And for the first time, an Omega survives. Elias is not weak. He is not fragile. He is not like the others. And against every instinct, every warning, Caidren begins to take notice. What starts as indifference turns to fascination. What was once just another burden soon becomes something the Alpha refuses to let go of. For the first time in his life, Caidren is afraid—not of war, not of death, but of the one thing he never thought he could have. And when enemies rise and threaten to take Elias away, Caidren will burn the world to keep his Omega safe.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?
