The realm of Lusara is a land of splendor and strife, where towering kingdoms rise above fertile lands, and shadowed secrets dwell within the hearts of the powerful. The empire is upheld by a delicate balance: a sovereign monarch presiding over lesser lords, and beneath them, the two dominant Houses—House Avernal and House Crimsonvale. These Houses are the empire’s shield and dagger, bound by duty yet divided by enmity. Known as the "Houses of the Devil," their reputations stem from the lords who rule them—individuals whose power, ambition, and ruthlessness have made them both revered and feared. Each House serves the empire in its own way: House Avernal safeguards the northern frontiers, a land of unyielding mountains and winter's breath, while House Crimsonvale governs the southern expanses, a place of blazing sands and endless sunsets. Though their territories form the empire’s spine, their hostility toward each other threatens to tear it apart. In a time of rising tensions, their paths converge not on the battlefield but at the edge of the empire, where an abandoned orphanage crumbles in solitude. There, among overgrown flowers and whispered memories, lives a girl who calls herself a flower. This meeting will set the threads of destiny spinning, entwining love, hatred, and the bittersweet fragility of life.

One moment, life was normal. The next, the world collapsed. Creatures from another dimension poured into Earth, turning everything into a war zone. The monsters? They killed without mercy. Us humans? We were left scrambling for survival. But me? I’m Ethan Cross, just your average high school student—until I got a system. Yeah, you heard that right. Not some generic power-up or badass transformation. No, my system’s all about bonding with monster girls. And no, this isn’t some fanservice fantasy. The "SSS Rank Wife System" gave me a job—marry these creatures, get them to like me, and in return, I gain their abilities. And trust me, their abilities are exactly what I need to survive. But, here’s the catch: it’s not enough to just say "I do." My system tracks how much the girls like me. The more they love me, the stronger I get. So, yeah, the quests? They’re… a little intimate. You could say I’m doing my part to save the world, one kiss at a time. But with the world in chaos and monsters tearing it apart, there’s more to worry about than just finding true love. Other system users are out there, some wanting to help, others wanting to kill. Plus, every girl I marry has her own baggage—some are hesitant, some are hostile. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me. Oh, and did I mention? I’m the only one who can understand the monsters’ language. It’s like having a personal translator, but way more dangerous. I’ll need to navigate through betrayals, rivalries, and jealous gods if I want to figure out why this dimensional collapse happened in the first place—and why I was chosen for this insane quest. But hey, if saving the world means marrying a bunch of monster girls and keeping my love meter high… guess I’ll just have to rise to the challenge. Just don’t expect me to take it too seriously—unless I have to. Support this Shameless Author with Power Stones Gifts and Golden Tickets

Weakness is a prison. The book is the key. But every power has a price written in blood. Park Jin-ho knows what it means to be invisible. Orphaned, bullied, and forged in the cold silence of a world that’s forgotten him, he’s mastered the art of survival: keep your head down, your fists clenched, and your hopes buried. But when a strange, ancient tome appears in a dusty bookstore’s shadows—its pages blank to everyone but him—Jin-ho’s life fractures. The book adapts. Need to fight? It teaches him taekwondo with flawless precision. Need to escape? It sharpens his senses into blades. Skills pour into his mind like water, transforming his frail body and frayed confidence into something dangerous. Something unrecognizable. Yet with every skill learned, the book’s cryptic warnings grow darker. Hostile presence detected. Threat level: Unknown. But Jin-ho isn’t the only one hunting power. As he claws his way from prey to predator, shadowed figures stalk the edges of his life—men who move like ghosts, whose eyes gleam with unnatural hunger. They want the tome. And they’ll carve through anyone, even a broken boy turned weapon, to claim it. In a world where power is a curse dressed as salvation, Jin-ho must decide: Is mastering every skill worth losing himself? Or will the book’s final lesson be his death? Perfect for fans of Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, this dark, adrenaline-fueled saga explores: A protagonist who evolves from vulnerable underdog to calculating force. A ruthless "system" that gifts power at a hidden cost. A hidden world of ancient forces and modern predators. The thin line between becoming a hero… or a monster.
