The Halo Effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER]

Aukhemya - Gods and Alchemy

God(s). Angels. Demons. Monsters. They can be more real than you’d like… And more humane too… Maybe way too much… ... … In a world with supernatural races secretly living among humans, this is the story of Lúcio Arabrantes, a lad from Minas Gerais, Brazil. If you expected an unlucky, jobless protagonist… NOT HERE, FOLKS! Owner of a jewelry shop in one of the best shopping centers of Belo Horizonte, he certainly is a successful lad! Regarding his luck… WEEEEEELL… To start, our lad has a weird syndrome and a frail body (oh dear, someone could mistake his condition as a curse…), without mentioning the disappearance of the medical artifact created by his parents that could heal him after an accident. Yeah, very original and nothing strange… But this isn't everything. The shop is nothing more than a facade for Lúcio's real business: the store Buriti de Ouro, specialized in artifacts, magical scrolls and talismans, seals, arcane forging, formations, matrices and other mystical miscellaneous; located in the Brazil Street, Latin America Zone, Heavenly Commercial District. Yes, our jeweler works in Heaven. Literally. But what is Lúcio’s cheat power? Is he the descendant of some god, dragon, spirit or devil? No, he is just a normal human with a… Not so normal job… Skills above everyone else? Despite being an inscriptionist and artificer, surpassing the gods and other races is complicated… Could it be knowledge of a past life? Well, Lúcio studied a lot, he works hard, but he never had an ancient great Grandmaster of a supreme sect or a primordial creation god to teach him secret techniques. For now… However, for the ruin of his peaceful lifestyle (if that's even possible in such a world) and rejoice of our readers, his “normal” life changes when a random box appears on his doorstep. Inside the box lies a missed artifact, the Aurum Nucleus, the same thing that disappeared and could cure his weird body condition. But the artifact has a special bonus: it hosts the spirit of a… Certain woman… … … You already know that a lot of shit is gonna happen, right? Mercenaries and mobsters appearing to screw the party? Yes. Two dudes on a motorcycle trying to rob him? We are in Brazil, what did you expected? Old bully from college trying to make a fuss in the shop? Check. Aztec sect kidnapping and trying to offer him to a weakened Aztec god? Yep- Uhhh... The girlfriend is also kidnapped, but by a group of giants with colorful hairs and eyes living on a lost island in the Atlantic Ocean? Certainly- Hold up… Trouble with the island’s church from which the first angels (aka Celestials) and demons (Abyssals btw) come from? Of course- Wait, wait… The lost past of forgotten primordial gods, involving secrets about the origin of everything, schemes and plans of ancient entities, prophecies about the Apocalypse, wars between pantheons, clans and even different dimensions, machinations that could change the world order… Uhhhh… I think you folks got the idea… Fortunately, Lúcio has family and friends to support him in these troubles. From the cheese broas teached by his grandmother, the cheats, tricks and quirks of his family, a little help from adventurer friends, the love of his yander- cahem- protective girlfriend, and the strength of… Golden allies… This is an ordinary and chaotic story, unique and common, boring and funny, unexpected and predictable, pleasant and *censored*, and many other adjectives. So expect lots of jokes and memes (good or not, idc, my humor sense is wild), lovely or bland moments, references and mysteries, obvious or not. And as the novel’s name says, this is a story about gods and alchemy, with a certain island in the middle of the chaos… Discord server link: https://discord.gg/EjG4cBjrkJ

Heroines, Villainesses, and the Hero’s Yandere Harem? I want them all!

[WSA Entry 2025] I was betrayed in my first life. A cripple, broken and discarded— I died after catching the one I loved in bed with the only person I ever called a friend. That was the start of real torment. When I woke up, it was in another world. A goddess stood before me. She told me I could go back. Back to my world. Back to everything I lost. All I had to do… was play my part. The side character. And I did. I followed the script. Played my role to perfection. They hated me. Mocked me. Used me. Again and again. But I kept going. Because I believed her. Because I wanted to go home. Then one day, I found out. The hard way. It was all a lie. There was no going back. There never was. She used me. Again. Just like everyone else. Thrown away like trash once I outlived my usefulness. That was the day something inside me snapped. And so, I made a vow. I would take everything from her. I would enslave every single heroine she chose. And I would kill the hero she placed all her hopes on. If she wanted to protect this world… Then I would burn it down. But the more I tried, the more things started to change. And then one day— I found one of the heroines. One of the hero's yanderes I had enslaved. She stood there, trembling, a knife in her hand. “You’re not going anywhere,” she whispered, eyes wild. “I won’t let them have you. You belong to me.” ...What. The. Fuck. Is. Happening?!

Rise of the Hidden Queen

“You want to marry me?" Luna raised her brows looking straight into the bottomless ocean blue eyes of the world-renowned bachelor sitting in front of her. He wanted to marry her? An ordinary abandoned kid who was still in school? With a single word from him, women of all sizes and backgrounds would be ready to marry him yet he wanted her? That was interesting~ Aiden saw the tiny glint of tease in her eyes despite the serious and confused words she seemed to let out. "It's a marriage of mutual benefit." Luna quietly nodded her head at his words. Indeed. It was a marriage that would benefit both of them. She needed his support at the moment to get avoid trouble and get higher while he needed her to... sleep.

Luna put a hand on the cup of tea in front of her. She slid her fingers around the rim of the cup while her body leaned towards the table, seemingly getting closer to the man. "will you be okay marrying me? We all want a pleasurable sex life in this arrangement, yes?" Aiden saw the glint in her eyes and the tease that came along with it. Her tastes were very... unique. Though he couldn't say if he disliked it or not at the very least he seemed okay doing it with her? Through gritted teeth and slightly pink ears, Aiden spit out his words. "Let's have a pleasant marriage, Ms. Grey." Luna let out a bright smile. "Of course, Mr. Lee." 'Oh, it will be a very pleasant marriage~' When Aiden read those unspoken words that seemed to be attacking him through her bright eyes, he fell silent.

Endless Power

Okay... My life should be over. Dying at the age of 80, I have no regrets other than dying later than my wife, I should have died before my wife so that I wouldn't have to feel so much pain. Selfish. It doesn't matter, does it? I'm going to die soon anyway. Heaven or Hell? I'm not a bad person, but I'm not a good person either... What if my Cost is comparable to Sin? Well, that's a thought I'll have to think about in the afterlife. But... I'm not in the afterlife! I'm young again and in a different world. And what is an existence generator. ========== Prolog 2 ========== My name is Adrian King. I've been around for thousands of years. I'm not sure exactly how long, but it's been more than 10,000 years. The figures I know became people who recorded the history of the world. I'm a human, and I don't think there's been another human in this world who has lived as long as I have — maybe a thousand years, at most. He's known as the greatest ArchMage in the world. I'm not a Mage, but I can't deny that. I can't even use the Aura that is the source of power of the Knights. I'm not a Mage, and I'm not a Knight either. I'm even worse than the worst talent, and my access to those two things is irreversibly cut off. But you know what? All of that was replaced by my development from physical to metaphysical. I became stronger over thousands of years given something called an Existance Generator. I don't know what it is or who gave it to me. I didn't ask for it, nor did I ask to be given a second chance at life. I was content with my life and could have died in my first life, but I was given this second chance, and I decided to live a pleasant life. But, as time went on, everything started to feel a bit ordinary, and I found myself no longer particularly interested in things around me. It was as if the world I thought I knew so well was actually full of endless possibilities and adventures.

CRYPTOCURRENCY TRACKING & RECOVERY SERVICES-WEB BAILIFF CONTRACTOR

I narrowly escaped losing $235,000 of my retirement savings to a self-styled broker I had met on LinkedIn. This individual guaranteed me a whopping 35% rate of return on each investment, bonuses included. I was desperate financially at the time and thought this was a ray of hope. I was eager to make my money work and invested hastily without being aware of any of the dangers. I was unaware that I was handing over my money to a person with ill intentions, a person who was plotting to scam me out of my investment. At the beginning, all was well. I was receiving some early "profits," which were highly encouraging and served to strengthen my confidence in investing with him. Then, all went terribly wrong. When I tried to get my money out, the broker began to make excuses. He informed me that there were additional fees to be paid if I wanted to withdraw my capital and earnings. The more I withdrew, the more hoop jumping I needed to do. That is when I understood that I had been taken for a ride. The broker was not interested in growing my wealth; he was only interested in making money from my money and trust. I was panicked, and I urgently needed to get my money back. I started searching on the internet for any reliable option through which I could get my money back. It was on the internet that I found Web Bailiff Contractor, which was a fund recovery company with good reviews. I was doubtful initially, having read about a large number of recovery companies that purport to be genuine. Nonetheless, these companies always turn out to scam the additional victims. On my own research and reading more positive reviews of real people, I went ahead and got in touch with Web Bailiff Contractor, and to my greatest pleasant surprise, they accepted my case immediately and assured me that they would do everything they could to recover my money. The most compelling characteristic was their transparency; there were no upfront fees, and they explained each and every detail clearly.

Are You stable or unstable.

Synopsis "I will stop; tell me how long to stay," Sam lovingly placed his hand on Helix's head and said, looking at her with wet eyes. "You have to stop until I forget every single moment spent with you, and forgetting every moment spent with you means forgetting myself. So, tell me, will you stop until I become a corpse." Saying that Helix could not stop her tears and started crying very loudly. "No, don't ever say that. I will always be with you. Got it? Now stop crying and give me a breathtaking smile and crazy Helix back," Sam said, giving her a little pat on her forehead. "Liar, you are such a big liar," Helix said with moist eyes and a fake smile on her face because of his sake. "No, I am not a liar. It is true that no matter what the situation may be, I can never forget you, and neither do you want to leave me," Sam said with a pleasant smile, caressing her palm. "Then why are you going like this? Why??" Helix said, holding him tight in her arms. "I hate you; I hate you for this," Helix said, burying her head in his chest and crying continuously. "Helix, listen to me and stop crying for a while. Anyway, I have less time. Promise me you will live without me," Sam said, holding her hand and looking straight into her eyes with his loving gaze. "No, Sam, no," said Helix, starting to cry very loudly." ......................................................................................................... Description: Helix is a girl burdened with troubles, who has yet to find love. Firstly, her parents suffered a devastating accident and left her.
