He transmigrated into the Naruto world and became Naruto Uzumaki—yes, that Naruto—and even unlocked a ridiculous favorability system. Get people to like him, and he can straight-up copy their abilities. According to the script, all he has to do is obediently walk the “Child of Prophecy” route, farm goodwill like a game NPC, collect rewards, and smoothly become the Seventh Hokage… easy mode, right? Wrong. Naruto takes one look at the script and says, “Nah.” No grinding approval, no licking boots—he’ll do things his own way. After all, being Naruto means being stubborn, loud, and absolutely unmanageable! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can visit my Patreon page: Patreon.com/PhoeniXcel I upload 2 chapters daily on Patreon!

[18+, nsfw, mature content, sensitive content] *Finally finished! the side story for Zion/Suga is still going. Thanks for the support~* "From the tips of his hair to his lips and eyes—everything about him is red. His entire being screams 'walking red flag.' And yet, he treats me differently... or is it just my imagination?" After the death of his parents in a car accident, Akagi Suga sold his parents' house and moved to unknown apartment in Shinjuku. He raised his younger brother alone, their life didn't go smoothly but at least as long as Suga lived with his younger brother, their life was always pleasant. Until finally people from IHPS (International Human Protection Squad) approached him, making Akagi Suga remember again that his father was a former instructor of that 'neutral' special forces. He didn't want to get involved with people from an organization created by elites under the guise of ‘military’, an organization filled with crazy people, but when Nakajima Yuki, his childhood friend asked Suga to join IHPS, at first Suga refused, however— "It wasn't an accident, both your parents were killed." He already had this suspicion for a long time. 'Will going to IHPS make it easier for me to find out which organization killed my parents?' And why did a madman named Zion Hughes always make it difficult for him to find out about the organization? — (additional: mpreg focused chapters in vol. 2 after Egotistic/sides)

I woke up as an extra in a famous novel. Before I could even panic, a system window appeared. [Mission: Confess to Myles Cortez.] [Favorability: -10] [Time Remaining: 30 minutes] [Penalty: Death] Myles Cortez, the final villain of the story. Apparently, if I want to live, I have to seduce him. Easy, right? ... Wrong. "You think you can back out now?" His fingers tightened behind my head, eyes dark. "Blake, you confessed to me every day with that smile." ...I may have seduced him a little too well.

With a stepmother comes a stepfather—but for Loretta, the cruelest truth was this: her own mother treated her worse than either. “You will marry in your sister’s place,” her mother declared, her voice cold and final. Loretta’s breath caught. “Why? Isabella is the one who caused all this. Why must I pay for her mistakes?” Because the man waiting for her was no ordinary groom. Everyone knew Kevin Goodman was cursed. Two wives—both dead within a week. A fiancée—gone before the engagement day had even ended. To be tied to him was to walk willingly into the jaws of death. Yet, bound by his grandfather’s will, Kevin needed a wife… and an heir. He was the rightful successor to a vast empire—the kind of man women once dreamed of marrying. But now? What was wealth… when it came with a death sentence?

I got isekai'd into a monster academy. My vampire "friend" wants my blood. The other students want me dead. Joke's on them. I have a System that lets me grow stronger by defeating and slaying any monster that crosses me. Yokai Academy is supposed to teach monsters how to blend in with humans. But the only lesson I'm learning is that power is the only thing that matters here. So I'll take it. From every one of them— be them orcs, salamanders, mermaids, werewolves, flaming kitsunes with murderous tendencies—all of whom view me as prey. You think I'd hide behind my vampire girlfriend? That was your first mistake. I'm human, but I'm also a transmigrator. And a transmigrator always comes prepared. I have a Sacred Gear waiting to awaken, with a power that could shake the supernatural world, even if I'm not ready to wield it yet. My Vampire Princess is a badass—and she's about to turn me into one of her kind. I have a Gremory Heiress waiting to be found, a devil who could change my whole status. And an ambition that reaches from the Heavens to the Abyss. This world isn't ready for the new Dark Lord, Aono Tsukune. --- Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction crossover where various characters from other fandoms will appear thanks to the nature of the Annihilation Maker.

Fates entangled - Synopsis “The unavoidable pyre is the one built from desires, so always be prepared to burn.” . . . He was a playboy living the life he wanted, with everything going his way. She was an actress living the life she had fought for, with the future shining bright for her. They have never met, and their lives should have never intersected. Only, their lives did intersect… and they met. That day, she broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair for that small box that held the key to a whole empire. He smiled, laughed, and joked, until he could not laugh anymore, because suddenly, their fates were now entangled, all because of a red string, all because of an old man who left one last gift for his beloved grandson, along with one last infuriating message: ‘Kid, fate is a marvelous thing, but it has never been kind to you. However, what one can not do, two will be able to. Even against the world, together, you will be able to stand. With the red string tied, your fates are now entangled, like two sides of the same coin, sharing pain and joy, fortune and misfortune. Of course, there is nothing that can't be undone. You will just need to find out the how by yourself, then get the true treasure. Till then, beware of the full moon. Hehe…’ Yeah, a very infuriating message indeed. Then nothing wanted to go his way anymore. _ _ _ _ _ _ Their first meeting? She broke into his apartment and tied him to a chair. Of course she got what she wanted, but not the last laugh, ending up tied to him in what could only be called a forced engagement. After all, only if she was his other half would she share his misfortune with him, right? Shackles, heirship, legacy, and life, some things to be fought against, others to be fought for, because maybe he didn't know, or maybe he did, that the last misfortune was coming for him, even though he… never drank blood… or maybe precisely because he never did. ..... Available on Watt pad and Royal Road too unless contracted.

Liam Carter died like a nobody. Bullied, broken, and bleeding out on a cold rain-soaked street while the world kept walking. He should have stayed dead. But the universe had other plans. [WORLD CONQUEROR SYSTEM — CORRUPTED] [LUST SYSTEM ONLINE] His first mission was ridiculous. His second was downright filthy. Every conquest rewards him with power no mortal should wield — godlike strength, supernatural abilities, and a raw, magnetic charisma that makes women wet with a single glance. The more hearts (and bodies) he claims, the stronger he becomes. Classmates who once ignored him now drop to their knees in the hallway. Strict teachers lose control behind locked classroom doors. Queens, ancient witches, seductive vampires, and untouchable werewolf alphas all find themselves addicted to the same man they once would’ve crushed. They don’t just want him. They crave him. They submit to him. Because this isn’t just about power. It’s about raw, shameless domination — in battle and in bed. Behind the System lurks something far darker: an ancient race, a forgotten war, and a destiny that could burn entire worlds to ash. The Lust System was never supposed to exist. Now it does. And the world only has two choices: Submit to his touch… Or be conquered.
