Tara couldn’t believe her bad luck. Out of all the people looking for a roommate, she ended up with her boss, Selena. Selena—known for her sharp wit, enchanting looks, and a rumored history with a few past coworkers—had a reputation as the office “temptress.” Watching Selena move with that effortless allure, Tara silently vowed to keep a safe, respectful distance. But on the very first night of living together, that same untouchable boss ended up sleepwalking… right into Tara’s room, wrapping herself around her with surprising softness and refusing to let go, nestled into Tara’s chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Keeping her calm, Tara gingerly extricated herself, stepped onto the balcony, and drank a full glass of ice water—despite the frigid winter temperatures. “She’s straight. You’re just roommates. Don’t even think about catching feelings,” Tara told herself, hoping her resolve would hold. But Selena seemed determined to ignore any “distance.” After dodging yet another one of Selena’s friendly but borderline flirtatious invitations, Tara found herself cornered in the underground parking lot after work. Under the dim lights, Selena’s eyes sparkled with a hint of red at the corners. “Are you like everyone else? Do you hate me?” she asked, her voice tinged with unexpected hurt, a stubbornness that was oddly… sweet. The usual polite words Tara had on hand somehow lodged in her throat. Flustered, she stammered, “No… I’m just scared I might fall for you.” Selena had a secret: she was totally smitten with the company’s new intern. There was something about Tara’s quiet warmth and that little spark of defiance that pulled Selena in. So much so, that Selena willingly traded her comfortable apartment for a cramped 700-square-foot rental—just to be closer to her crush. She even went out of her way to “accidentally” create situations that would draw them together. But her darling intern remained unmoved, cool and reserved, her demeanor bordering on chilly. When a close friend pointed out that no one wants to room with their boss, saying, “Living with your boss just feels like working overtime every night,” Selena pouted but couldn’t deny it. Resting her head against Tara’s shoulder, Selena couldn’t help but think, Too true… I do have her working ‘overtime’ every night.

[Warning: Contains Mature Content] "Beware of the tongue of a wicked woman. For it may tell a lie that would slay the world." Eighteen-Year-old rejected, wolfless and blind Zina is summoned to the capital to tell a vision for the ruthless and feared Alpha King of the North notoriously known as ‘The King Who Crowned Himself’. The result of Zina’s ‘false’ vision has the Alpha Prince and future Alpha Supreme, Daemon, banished from the capital to fight wars at the borders where only death awaits him in the hands of the famed Arising Rogues, and the even more famed Deformed. But Daemon survives fire, blood and claw, and not only does he survive, but six years later, he is back as Alpha Supreme, driven by vengeance against those who brought him down. Starting from his cunny siblings, to the eighteen-year old girl now twenty-four who spelt his destiny with just mere words, Daemon vows to leave no one unscathed. However Zina is well aware of her own treachery. Now the Theta to the same powerful werewolf house she told the dangerous lie against, and having tasted the bitter pill of betrayal from the very people she told the dangerous lie for, she is unwilling to resign to her fate just yet. But how do you melt the heart of a man that you once ruined? And how do you destroy a woman loved by all the common people, and perhaps, even the gods? Daemon will learn the hard way that not all vengeance can be taken, and not all debts can be collected. Secrets abound, the Deformed Werewolves are set to rise, and a rare chance at second mating befalls the two most unusual people. And now, one thing has become for sure—Daemon must first defeat the enemy outside, before he can truly confront her, who has become the enemy of his heart. **** Zina's back pressed against the wall as a taut body pinned her, their warmth mingling together. Four years of deadly anticipation had culminated into that very moment. His whispers caressed her ear, sending shivers that had nothing to do with the chill in the air down her spine. “Since you see visions so well, tell me Theta of my house, do you see the day you will die?” His breath ghosted over her skin, reminding her of a debt to be collected. Swallowing and maintaining a tight grip on her staff despite the body that burned against hers, she answered firmly. “I am afraid the gods haven’t shown me yet.” The man over her smiled shrewdly. His lips grazed her ear, his hot breath sending waves of sensation. “I believe in all of the names I have been called, one of them is god. So let me tell you that which you do not know… “…today is the day you will die.”

Rytha: Bringer of Chaos tells the story of Rytha, a boy born into the illustrious Shirohaga Clan, known for their legendary strength and mystical abilities. From birth, he is celebrated as the clan’s future leader—until his hereditary powers fail to manifest. Disgraced, shunned, and labeled a failure, Rytha becomes the clan’s greatest disappointment. Amid the clan's disdain, a shadowy faction with knowledge of Rytha’s true potential sets their plan in motion. They frame him for the brutal massacre of his parents and several high-ranking members of the clan, casting him as a bloodthirsty murderer. Branded a traitor and exiled from his homeland, Rytha is sentenced to the most dangerous part of the spirit realm—Ivay—a place so treacherous that no human has ever survived its monstrous inhabitants. In Ivay, where spirits and ancient beasts roam freely, Rytha teeters on the edge of death daily. However, in the midst of his struggle, he encounters Quiver Shirohaga, the clan’s forgotten grand uncle and the second most powerful member of the Shirohaga Clan. Exiled long before Rytha's birth, Quiver has survived in the land of Ivay by mastering both the Shirohaga's powers and the forbidden magics of the spirit realm. Quiver, initially distrustful and cold, soon realizes Rytha’s latent potential, recognizing that his late-blooming powers could surpass even the greatest Shirohaga legends. He takes Rytha under his wing, training him in the ancient techniques of the clan while revealing long-buried secrets about their true history and the forces behind Rytha's framing. As Rytha’s powers finally awaken, he is forced to walk a dangerous path, grappling with newfound strength that borders on chaos and madness. Quiver warns him that the very power Rytha seeks to control has a dark side—one that, if unleashed, could not only destroy the Shirohaga Clan but also tear the fabric of the spirit realm apart. With new enemies and ancient spirits hunting him, Rytha must decide whether to avenge his family's death or uncover the truth behind the conspiracy that nearly destroyed him. Along the way, he faces a choice that could either save the world or plunge it into uncontrollable chaos. In this thrilling tale of exile, betrayal, and destiny, Rytha’s journey from weak to strong will determine the fate of both the physical and spirit realms. But will he become the hero the world needs—or the bringer of its destruction?

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Forgotten Gods' Legacy.] [Host’s Initial Power: Unseen Affinity—A connection so faint, it borders on nonexistent, offering little to no advantage in the coming war.] “This can’t be right. What kind of system is this if I’m barely more than an ordinary human?” Frustrated and on the verge of abandoning hope, Leo is ready to quit. But as he delves deeper into the forgotten myths, the world around him begins to change. Shadows stir in the corners of reality, and voices from long-lost deities whisper in his ear, revealing a truth hidden from mortal eyes. Leo’s seemingly worthless power is the key to something far more profound. The Forgotten Gods' Legacy isn’t about raw strength; it’s about unraveling the mysteries of ancient gods who have faded into obscurity. Each challenge he faces brings him closer to unlocking the true power within—a power that could either resurrect these gods or consign them to oblivion forever. In a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where forgotten deities vie for dominance, Leo’s journey will force him to confront the gods themselves, facing the ultimate choice: will he reignite their power, or let them fade into the abyss? His decision will shape the fate of both gods and humans alike. **"The Veil of Forgotten Gods"** is an epic tale of hidden power, forgotten deities, and the delicate balance between mortal and divine. For Leo, the path to victory isn’t just about gaining strength—it’s about discovering the secrets buried in the deepest shadows. ---

To the average citizen, the world seems governed by laws, governments, and visible institutions that maintain order. However, behind every major decision, beyond the ministers' councils, in assemblies and courtrooms, darker interests lurk—those that operate in secret, invisible to the public eye. These powerful beings are bound by a web of influence and conspiracies, whose sole purpose is to shape the world's fate according to their own agendas. Throughout history, this network has crossed borders, manipulated economies, and silently altered the course of global events. Truth becomes relative, as control of information is the most potent tool in their hands. For those aware of their existence, escaping their influence is nearly impossible. Lies are disguised as facts, and reality is distorted at the conspirators' convenience, with identities as elusive as their motives. In this secret society, power is not ostentatious but subtle. It seeps into institutions and governments, moving its pieces with lethal precision. For those who dare challenge it, the consequences are severe, for truth is a dangerous currency that few can afford. Silence is bought, dissent is eliminated, and loyalty is measured by an individual's usefulness. However, even the most meticulous plans can falter, and when they do, the ensuing chaos is devastating. Amid this landscape of intrigue, where deception and mistrust reign, the world keeps spinning, oblivious to what truly happens beneath the surface. But occasionally, a crack forms in the carefully constructed reality. A mistake, a miscalculated decision, can set in motion a series of events beyond the control of those who believe they hold the world's reins. It is in these moments that the true nature of hidden power is revealed. Key players are brought into the fray, and those who think they are in control realize that even they are expendable. The truth, buried for so long, begins to surface, bringing danger to those who seek to expose it. In this labyrinth of secrets and betrayals, no one is safe. Neither the powerful nor the innocent can escape the consequences when the balance is broken. And as loyalties crumble, only one question remains: Who are the true masters of destiny?

In the cursed world of Eden, every individual is born with an anomaly—an uncontrollable power that can be either a fortifiable quirk or a catastrophic force. The Source, a powerful research organization, led by a prophesied Demigod girl, has long kept dangerous anomalies in check, but it easily gets overpowered when a mysterious virus emerges, transforming humans into omnipotent, soulless entities. The selfish government and powerhouses use this chance to ostracize the prophesied girl to reside far beyond the border and destroy the Source. Decades later, Zafer joins a new uprising faction, seeking nothing but recognition in the world with no restrictions. During his quest for strength, Zafer accidentally becomes a pivotal player in bringing about a new world order, one that will alter the fate of Eden forever. As Zafer rises, he finds himself allied with— and opposed to— the most formidable humans and god-like entities the world has ever seen. Through shocking revelations, clashes with power beyond imagination, and belief-challenging events, Zafer must discover his true purpose and identity in a world on the brink of transformation. Will he become a hero, a villain, or join with the prophesied girl? I WILL NEVER SIGN A CONTRACT, HENCE PLEASE DON'T SEND ME COINS OR SUCH. WRITING IS JUST A HOBBY FOR ME!

The world is grim, and the people are few. Years ago, a glimmering comet descended onto the earth holding precious artifacts; scattered among the lands, it is said that whoever can mend them together will be granted the most valuable relic of all time: the Philosopher's Stone. From scholar to beggar, Andrei struggles to live in a city that gives little attention to ones that lost it all. Yet he strives to reach greatness, and endlessly searches for the precious relics. The borders are shaky, and the Empire is on the brink of collapse. Civil war is threatening the lands, and the people are starving. All has a price. Is the truth really worth it ?

Pain spread throughout her body, the excruciating agony tearing through her like a thunderclap, pulling Aurora Starling from the depths of darkness. With great effort, she pried open her sore, heavy eyelids. As weak light filtered in, a cacophony of harsh voices filled her ears. "She has no one to blame but herself for her lack of skill. It's sheer luck that she was rescued this time; next time, she might not be so fortunate." "A good-for-nothing should know their place. Knowing full well she's trash, yet still courting death — she's brought nothing but shame to our family." The voices of a man and a woman echoed in Aurora's ears. Who the hell are these two bastards to call her a waste? When did such insufferable fools pop up in the organization? This was a world vastly different from modern society, a blend of ancient Eastern and Western cultures, filled with mysterious martial energy and wondrous magic. Even dragons, creatures that only existed in stories, were real in this extraordinary world. As a master thief from the 24th century, Aurora Starling could hardly believe that she, who should have been dead, had somehow been reborn into the body of this young girl. What was even more laughable to Aurora was that this girl shared her name — Aurora Starling. She now found herself on a land known as the "Luminous Continent," within a kingdom called the "Dragon Pavilion Empire." The body she inhabited belonged to the seventh young lady of one of the five great families of the Dragon Pavilion Empire — the Bennu Family. By rights, this should have been an adored and pampered existence, yet as the two brats had pointed out, the body's owner was indeed a genuine waste. The favorite pastime of this family, besides honing their martial energy and magic, was tormenting her, the so-called "waste." "Hisss." The sudden movement tugged at the wound on her waist, and Aurora ground her teeth, examining the injuries on her new body, a cold smile playing on her lips. Useless? Idiot? Those words had never applied to her. The wheels turned, carrying the passengers towards the unknown territory. As they distanced themselves from the borders of the Dragon Empire, step by step drawing nearer to the fabled forbidden land, they entered the shadow of the dark clouds. A legend of their own was silently unfolding. None of them could have imagined that this venture would lead them to witness the founding of the "City of Demons." Nor could they foresee that they would behold the birth of the "Demon Lord," whose actions would shake the entire continent and rewrite countless histories. This was only the beginning...
