"You... changed your mind?" Liam’s voice was barely above a whisper. A slow, deliberate smirk curled on the devil’s lips. "Yes. And now, I want you to earn your life. Go down on your knees and do exactly as I say." …... Liam always believed he was just another werewolf—until a dangerously alluring vampire enters his life, unraveling a truth far more complicated than he ever imagined. Caught between two powerful forces—a possessive werewolf who calls him mate and a seductive vampire who knows the secrets of his bloodline—Liam is thrust into a world of deception, desire, and deadly enemies. With a vengeful predator closing in and his pack questioning his loyalty, Liam faces a terrifying reality: someone wants him dead. But in a game where everyone has something to hide, the real danger might not be the enemy lurking in the shadows—but the truth buried in his own past.

Kageshiki: Hunters of the Whispering Death In a world where beauty is a deadly illusion, humanity’s greatest predators walk among them—Shikiban, mesmerizing beings that lure victims with their ethereal charm before devouring their souls with a single whisper. Their existence is hidden from the world, but a secret organization, the Kageshiki, has sworn to hunt them down. Reika Kagetsu never asked for this war. One night—betrayal, blood, and darkness—then she wakes up in an unfamiliar place: Tenshiko Academy, an elite training ground for Kageshiki warriors. Branded as a trainee, she must endure brutal trials, deadly combat, and a world where only the strong survive. But something is wrong. The shadows whisper her name. The monsters don’t just fear her—they know her. And standing among the elite is Souta, the man she once trusted, watching her with a smirk—as if he planned her fate from the very beginning. Within Tenshiko Academy, there are only two choices: hunt or be hunted. Each trainee must slay Shikiban, absorb their power, and become living weapons. But as Reika carves her way through the ranks, a question lingers—what truly separates a Kageshiki from the monsters they kill? When the truth reveals itself, she must decide. Is she the hunter? Or has she been prey all along? A tale of vengeance, survival, and power—in this blood-soaked world, strength is everything. Mercy is death. And the whispers are calling her name.

In short, I have been reborn into a world where the natural elements are both beautiful and deadly at the same time, with ferocious storms and scorching heat waves that can wipe out entire communities. Well this is an unforgiving, unforgiving world where the common cold can kill you, a world where survival applies only to the strong in this world. Here in this world humans are not at the top of the food chain. A world where the sounds of predators echo in the wild, and the threat of hunting lurks around every corner. I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid? I'm a crimson red dragon living in a forest. Why am I not kidding? I'm a crimson red dragon living in a very dense forest.

{WARNING: THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY SMUTTY} "Run, little bird." His voice is a whisper of sin and smoke, curling around my body like chains I cannot break. I should run. I should fight. But I don’t. Because he’s already caught me. A rough hand grips my throat, tilting my chin up—forcing me to meet his eyes. Red. Burning. Ravenous. "You can try to escape, little wife," he murmurs, his breath hot against my lips. "But we both know how this ends." I am his. Bound to the Devil. Trapped in his Hell. Luciel—King of the Underworld. Predator in human skin. A monster with a smile that undoes me, ruins me, devours me. Every whisper is a command. Every touch is a punishment. Every kiss is a slow death. And the worst part? I want more. His fingers trail down my spine, lower, lower—until I’m arching, trembling, drowning. "Look at you," he taunts, lips ghosting over my pulse. "So desperate for the monster you fear." I should hate him. I should fight harder. But then his lips brush my ear, and he chuckles—low, dark, merciless, making me give in to his darkhold. "Good girl."

Apocalypse: I Copy Everything The world changed overnight. Dungeons erupted across the earth, monsters spilled into the streets, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction. Amidst the chaos, Maximus Omniclone awakens to a terrifying yet overpowered ability—Copy. He can copy anything. Skills, talents, bloodlines, even unique abilities that should belong to the chosen few—he takes them all. A predator in human form, Maximus carves his way through the apocalypse, stealing power from dungeon bosses, mutant beasts, and even the systems that govern reality itself. From copying superhuman strength to divine flames, from mastering spatial manipulation to immortality, his hunger for power knows no bounds. And when he realizes he can even copy the very fabric of existence—planets, stars, universes, and the system itself—one question remains. If he can copy everything, then who can stop him?

"Even a panda must evolve to kill." Bai Feng was once a feared assassin—silent, deadly, and undefeated. But betrayal sent him to an early grave… only for him to wake up in an entirely new world. A world where spirit beasts rule the wild, and powerful cultivators hunt them for their cores. The worst part? He’s been reborn as a panda. A fat, fluffy, and seemingly harmless beast. In a world where only the strong survive, Bai Feng refuses to be prey. Armed with his past-life instincts, a mysterious evolution system, and sheer determination, he will carve his own path—whether by stealth, strength, or something even more terrifying. But as he fights to grow stronger, he begins to uncover a terrible truth: something is twisting the natural evolution of beasts, turning them into abominations beyond reason. And deep in the shadows, a force known as the Great Corruptor whispers his name… Will Bai Feng rise to become the apex predator, or will he lose himself to the very evolution he seeks?

However, nothing could have prepared her for the truth that this wasn’t just a marriage. Her new husband was a sweet torment, an immortal, god-like bully disguised in an impossibly beautiful human form with no rival.

His mouth hovered near her temple, his lips grazing her ear shell. “I’m going to make you forget what happened today.

He wakes up in a world identical to his own, except for one terrifying detail: portals filled with monsters are popping up everywhere, and if no one stops them within three days, the apocalypse is upon us.

But the more time she spends with the fierce and enigmatic Alpha, the more fate pulls them together. Yet, trust is a luxury neither can afford.

In the vast and perilous ecosystem of a lake filled with deadly predators and ancient secrets, he must learn to survive, evolve, and uncover the purpose behind his new existence

This modern world was once ruled by elemental forces and primal creatures, but the balance of power has long since shattered. Vampires, Werewolves, Demons, and Humans—each race has carved its own legacy, yet none remain untouched by the tides of war and betrayal. Once, these factions waged battles that scorched the land and stained history with blood. Now, the war has faded into myth, and a fragile peace clings to existence like a dying ember. But peace was never meant to last. A kingdom watches with unease as old wounds fester beneath the surface, as forbidden ties between predator and prey threaten to upend everything. Whispers of rebellion stir in the streets, ancient forces awaken in the shadows, and a forgotten prophecy looms on the horizon. Amidst this brewing storm, a child is born—a being who is the product of two worlds. A hybrid of Vampire and Human, he stands as a symbol of opposing forces intertwined. His existence alone is enough to ignite fury, to challenge the natural order, and to become the spark that could either unite the fractured lands or set them ablaze once more. Secrets buried deep in history will rise. Loyalties will be tested. And in the end, only one truth remains: Power is the only law, and those without it will be devoured. What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When the sins of old return to claim their debt? This is not a fairy tale. This is the truth they wanted forgotten. Welcome to The Secrets of Chiaroscuro.

Wei Long, a highly decorated soldier, is sent on a classified mission with a single objective: to ensure this is his final mission. However, events take an unexpected turn when he and his team located their target—not a normal Dinosaur but a BIO-ENGINEERED DINOSAUR designed by a shadowy organization to be the ultimate predator, created to dominate all life. Despite their best efforts, the team proves no match for the beast. In an unforeseen twist, Wei Long manages to kill it, but not without sacrificing his own life in the process. Yet, death is not the end for Wei Long. He awakens in a strange and mystical cultivation world—reborn as a baby dinosaur. Weak and disoriented, he struggles to make sense of his new existence, only to uncover something astonishing: a translucent screen revealing that his new body possesses the same bio-engineered traits as the monster he once destroyed. Now, as a creature designed to be the ultimate predator, what will happen when Spiritual Qi is introduced into its body? Will he succumbed to its Bio-engineered predatory instinct or he would make use of it?

Reborn as an Evolving Mosquito When Ricky Stormwind—a washed-up office worker—drank himself to death, he expected eternal nothingness. Instead, he awoke in a new world… as a mosquito. Weak as an ant. Fragile as a piece of paper. Prey to everything. But this world is no ordinary one. Magic, monsters, and powerful beings dominate the land, with ruthless forces waging war for supremacy. And Ricky? He possesses a terrifying ability—he can drain lifespan from any living creature and use it to evolve. A single bite can grant him hours. A feast?..... Years!! Now, in a forest filled with predators and beside a village on the brink of destruction, Ricky must climb the evolutionary ladder—from insignificant pest to a calamity that could devour the world itself. But when his first real meal triggers a mass sacrifice, the world mistakes him for a rising Demon Lord. Bounties are placed on his head. Armies march to hunt him down. And lurking in the shadows, a forbidden power calls to him, promising a path beyond mere survival—one that could reshape reality itself. In a world where everything is prey to something greater, something horrendous… he will rise to become the apex.

In Nyxterra, strength is law, and the weak are nothing but stepping stones for the strong. Dante Varros learned this truth the hard way. Born an orphan, he clawed his way into Arcadia Academy, the world’s strongest institution, only to be crushed beneath the heels of noble heirs who saw him as nothing more than entertainment. Beaten, humiliated, and left to rot. Fifteen years of suffering. Fifteen years of helplessness. Then came his fifteenth birthday—and with it, his awakening. Hunter. A power that feeds on death. Anything he kills, he can plunder—abilities, talents, skills, even lifespan. His first prey? The noble heir who had spent years making his life hell. He struck without mercy. No hesitation. No regret. He watched the light fade from their eyes and took what was rightfully his. Now, Dante moves in the shadows and the light, hunting the strong, stealing their power, and carving his name into a world ruled by monsters in human skin. War looms. Factions rise and fall. The gods of this world feast on the weak. But Dante is no one’s prey. He is the predator. And he will slaughter his way to the top.

Power is not given. It is taken. And Lilith Luna Dusk is ready to take it all. Five years ago, she was nothing, just a lost girl, drowning in the blood of a fallen pack, saved by a man who would one day become her greatest weakness. Now, she is a name whispered in fear, a force that built an empire from the ashes of her past. Ruthless. Untouchable. Cursed. But power is never enough. Not when the ghosts of her past still breathe. Not when fate plays its cruelest hand. At the Blackthorn Pack’s Moon Banquet, two men lay claim to her. Kade Draven—Alpha of Blackthorn, a calculating predator who calls her his mate. A man whose intentions are shrouded in secrets, whose ambition mirrors her own. Damon Volkova—the one who saved her, the one who still lingers in the shadows of her memories. The one whose very name sets her wolf on edge. The one she swore to never need again. One holds the key to her vengeance. The other, to a fate she refuses to accept. As enemies close in, alliances shift, and prophecies whisper of doom, Lilith must decide: Will she break the curse before it consumes her? Will she bow to fate—or defy it? And when the game of power turns deadly, who will be left standing? One thing is certain—the world will either kneel before her, or burn at her feet.

Kael Veyne was betrayed, hunted, and left for dead in the depths of the Abyssal Dungeon. As an infamous assassin, he was the empire’s deadliest shadow—until the day his guild turned on him. Ambushed in the Abyssal Dungeon, his body was torn apart, and his soul was consumed by the abyss. But death was not the end. He reincarnates 25,000 years later with the Devouring Bloodline System. Kael awakens in the body of a noble scion sharing similar name to him, and his very essence fused with eldritch power. With every kill, he absorbs primal energy, evolving into something far beyond human. Monsters, mages, mancers, knights, assassins—nothing is beyond his reach. ——— [{DING!}] [{Bloodline Upgrade: Enhancements}] ➤ Upgrade (1000 BP): Shadowmeld – Can blend into darkness for 2 minutes. ➤ 5000 BP: Generate a living demigod armor that repairs itself. ➤ 10000 BP: Unlocks a berserker state for as long as rage lasts. ——— Now, using the noble house as cover and with the help of the Devouring Bloodline System, he resumes his work as an assassin. But this time, it’s for a personal vendetta. The traitors who betrayed him still ruled their factions. The guild that cast him aside thrives. But Kael Veyne is no longer just an assassin—he is a predator lurking in the dark, devouring all who stand in his way to vengeance. The abyss granted him a second chance. This time... He will consume everything. Tags: Dungeon Power Leveling | Assassin MC | Overpowered MC | Eldritch Bloodline | Antihero | Revenge | Magic Empires | Ancient Factions

Memories shape who we are—they define us, anchoring us to our pasts. They are like videos, playing endlessly in our minds. But everything changed one day when people began to relive their memories. However, it wasn’t the pleasant ones that resurfaced. Instead, they were forced to experience their worst moments—or even memories that weren’t their own. Those who managed to survive this haunting experience found themselves watched by strange creatures, and in turn, were granted their powers. As if the world weren’t already thrown into chaos, these same bizarre monsters began to manifest on Earth, threatening humanity with the very real prospect of extinction. Amidst this upheaval, a small, seemingly insignificant beast was born. But it quickly rose to power, only to be betrayed and killed in a cruel twist of fate.
