The Duke's Secret Sin

The Duke's Secret Sin

Alancaster
“I think I'd miss you even if we’d never met,” Azrael whispered as his fingers trailed the side of her face, leaving an alluring warmth. Anna’s throat became dry, “We shouldn’t have met then―” “No,” he said, “Even if it means losing everything, I would rather have you.” They were destined to fall from the start. A forsaken bond. A hopeless cause. And yet, in that stolen moment, Anna didn’t care anymore, neither did he. * * * Anna is a human in a world where her kind is treated like dust, while Azrael is the demon duke infamous for his ruthlessness and bewitching looks. On a fateful night, her life gets entangled with him. Azrael takes her as his fiance, however, theirs is a relationship formed over a contract; a marriage of convenience. In a land where the hatred between humans and demons runs deeper than blood, she can not let her guard down. Anna harbors no feelings for the handsome duke, nor for his kind. Though that doesn’t stop her heart from stuttering whenever he’s near, nor the ghost of a familiar fear to surge at the sound of his voice. But he’s always near. Telling her what to do. Making her feel warmer, hotter than he should. * * * To yearn for someone who is forbidden to you is a terrifying feeling. To burn from desire and never speak of it, to have a secret that is horrible to almost everyone, to hide something that could ruin everything. This is a story carved in hidden desires, inked in blood, and sealed with a fatal sin. Will Anna make it out alive? Or will her heart lead to her downfall?

Jujutsu Kaisen: He Who Summons Heroes from the Void

If you were given the chance to return to the world of Jujutsu Kaisen and stop that old menace before tragedy struck, would you take it? Eichi would. Through an unexpected twist of time and space, Eichi was sent back and obtained the Ten Shadows Technique along with the power to summon Heroic Spirits, abilities he had only ever dreamed of. In this life, Eichi refused to live as an ordinary person. In this life, he chose madness. After all, if every sorcerer is a little insane, what harm is there in having one more? "Take this Wild Rose. It is a new cursed tool I made just for you." "What? That is a gun. My technique will not work with something like that." "Who says it will not?" he replied calmly. "See? This is the hammer. And this is the nail." As he spoke, Eichi placed the bullet into the hand of Nobara Kugisaki, whose eye twitched uncontrollably. "This world of jujutsu is rotten to the core," he said. "And now it is time to change it." Yet as Eichi pushed forward toward what he believed would be a happy ending, he slowly realized something unsettling. When everything was finally over, he and his companions arrived at the Eternal Throne one after another. ---------------------- Advanced chapters at p@treon

Honkai: Star Rail - Multiversal Projection

A beam of light, transcending the barriers of countless universes, projected onto the countless worlds, becoming a spectacle for the natives of each world! When Jingliu finely diced Blade into minced meat, the Demon Slayer Corps were shocked! 'What kind of breathing technique is that? Ice Breathing?' (A certain Demon King trembled in a corner) When Acheron unleashed a spectacular slash in Penacony, a girl named Mei on a certain starship couldn't even hold her rice scoop steady. 'She's also named Mei? She also has lightning attributes? And... why does her voice sound exactly like mine?' This is bad! I have a feeling the upcoming scenes are going to have an unacceptable, super-crazy development!

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?

I Reincarnated as the Protagonist's Mother's First Abusive Husband

In a world standing on the brink of destruction, a young man is given a second chance… though not in the way he expected. After finishing a famous multi-protagonist novel, a boy suddenly dies in his sleep… only to awaken inside that very same story. But he was not reincarnated as the hero destined to save the world, nor as the great villain manipulating everything from the shadows. He reincarnated as an irrelevant character. A man who never even appeared in the first chapter, someone who had already died years before the story truly began. Overwhelmed by panic after realizing his fate, he soon understands one important thing: there are still years left before the real plot starts. And thanks to his memories of the novel, he knows about hidden treasures, secret opportunities, and dangers that no one else could possibly imagine. Armed with nothing but knowledge of the future, determination, and growing ambition, he begins to slowly change the destiny that was meant for others. However, as he rises toward the top in a world filled with magic, wars, and monsters, an even greater threat silently approaches: the Devils, beings capable of annihilating entire civilizations and plunging the world into absolute destruction. To survive… he will have to become far more than a mere side character.
