What dark secrets lie in wait, and how far will her enemies go to tear her from the man destined to be hers?

"I know you want me inside you. Say it." .... Cover image belongs to me.

The man in front of her smirked before he gripped her throat and pulled her close, loving the sound of her fast-beating heart. "Is that so? Do I make you nervous?" "A little," Delilah admitted. The smirk on the prince's face widened. "Good. Only I am allowed to make you nervous, just like only you are allowed to touch and have this kind of effect on me," The prince rubbed her lips with his thumb before leaning closer, their breaths coming sharp as he gazed into her eyes. "The moment you allow another man to make you feel anything, he will end up dead, and you, you my sweetheart will end up naked under me while I punish you for even looking at others," Zephyr whispered before he crashed his lips on hers, undressing her gently. ~~~~~~ On the mission to find the hidden secrets of the most powerful ancient wolves, Katherine Moon, the leader of the special task force, found herself in a fatal situation.

My name is Shaytan. Just Shaytan. Every morning at five, I start my day like anyone else—cereal, eggs, or toast, followed by a meticulous brushing session where I avoid any contact with the damn bogey lurking in the mirror. I have a roommate, a werewolf. We are best friends and also classmates. After school, I work as a bartender in a nearby pub, where apart from your regular humans, other creatures also get together for a drink. Aside from these quirks, my life was relatively normal — until everything turned upside down. The peacefulness of the night seems to be over, the Fifth King is preparing for war — perhaps for world domination —, and common sense has evaporated somewhere along the way. And somehow, I got right in the middle of this glorious mess.

In a world where games have turned into reality, Valdris Altair Mournveil—once the unkillable final boss of a near-endless dungeon—finds himself stripped of his greatest asset: invincibility. Known as the fearsome ruler of the Veil of Eternity, Netharis, Valdris was once the terror at the top of the 9,999th floor, a being that no player or creature could defeat. But now, in this new reality, Valdris grapples with a terrifying truth—he can die. As those who once feared him still cower at his legendary reputation, he silently wrestles with crippling self-doubt, battling internal screams and the creeping anxiety of being exposed as vulnerable. Despite the change, he maintains his composed and powerful façade, attempting to live up to the persona of a figure who still inspires fear and awe. While most people still avoid him due to his infamous reputation, some people remain oblivious to his legend, knowing only of his domain and dungeon. Valdris must navigate this new world, managing his Vassals and his crumbling confidence, while others perceive him as the unkillable force he once was. A story of power, pride, and silent internal chaos, Valdris explores what happens when a king falls from grace and must hide his fears behind the mask of a former god. TLDR: Valdris is like an average politician—once powerful, but now clinging to a crumbling foundation he’s desperately trying to hold together.
