Heir's obsession

‎What happens when the only thing that seems right in a society where family is defined by blood and fate is determined by obligation is the only thing that is prohibited? ‎Love conquers all, they claimed. They never brought up the possibility that it might wipe out all of existence. ‎Twenty-three-year-old Aria Chen believed she was aware of the limits of her universe. She had come to terms with her role as the beloved younger sister, cared for and protected but never really a part of the wealth that surrounded her, having grown up in the shadow of the Chen family's immense empire. Her older brother by three years, Damien Chen, was the heir apparent and had carried the burden of their family since their father's health deteriorated, giving him that right. ‎She had only known Damien. Her defender. Her provider. The person who put her to bed every night while their parents were too busy establishing their empire. The person who taught her to be strong, even though she felt secure enough in his presence to be weak. ‎She never doubted his affections. Not when he examined her pals himself. Not when he insisted on giving his approval for her college selections. Even when he was at every social gathering she went to, his black eyes followed her every move in crowded spaces. ‎But on a rainy Tuesday, the flawless façade of her golden cage began to crack when David Park, the nice and sincere intern who brought her coffee and made her laugh, revealed his feelings, only to be fired the next day. ‎An event may be a coincidence. Circumstance might be the case for two of them. However, after it happened repeatedly, Aria was able to see the unseen bonds that her brother had placed around her heart. ‎As a result, she fled. To a life that Damien had no control over across the sea. ‎She experienced freedom for a couple of years. Made a career for herself based on her own merits. I discovered Aria Chen's identity without being overshadowed by her brother. ‎Until the call arrived. ‎It's urgent that you return home. ‎Aria realized that something had irrevocably shifted the moment she entered the Chen residence. Wearing expensive designer attire that bore an uncanny resemblance to the contents of Aria's previous wardrobe, a young woman sat sobbing in the living room, whom she had never met. Her mother's eyes had red rims. She seemed ten years older than her dad. ‎And Damien... With his obsidian eyes staring at her with an intensity that made her shiver—not out of fear, but out of something far more dangerous—Damien stood like a predator at last let out of his cage. ‎Her mother's voice was shaking, Aria. We have something to tell you. There was a blunder at the hospital, and you were... You and Eleanor were— twenty-three years ago. ‎Damien concluded, his voice a soft caress that seemed to wrap around Aria's neck. As he got closer, Aria noticed for the first time in her life that the brother who had raised her was not the protective one. She saw a man who was strong, threatening, and ultimately free. You're not my sister, Aria. You were never like that. ‎The expression in his eyes indicated that she was about to be overtaken by everything she had been fleeing. ‎There was nowhere to hide this time. ‎Genre: Obsessive Male Lead, Fake Siblings, Forbidden Love, and Contemporary Romance ‎Topics include family secrets, second chance romance, identity crisis, forbidden wish, obsessive love, and power dynamics.

His crushing grip made her wince in pain and fear. “It’s yours. Why won’t you believe me?” “I wanted to.

The Blightfall Saga: The Cursed Alliance

In the heart of Stillwood Hollow, the ley lines are no longer humming; they are hemorrhaging. A "thinning of the veils" has allowed a mundane reality to infect the magical realm, spreading like a gangrenous rot that turns lush forests into petrified husks. This is not a mere change in the seasons-it is a systematic unraveling of the cosmic tapestry. Enter Morwen Stonemoss. A Satyr of "morbid elegance," she is the sole Sentinel of her kind, a "Lament-Keeper" uniquely attuned to the earth's spasm of agony. But Morwen carries a secret darker than the blight itself. Deep within her resides the Bacchic Ravager, a primal entity of anti-creation and ultimate chaos that whispers of a "delicious surrender". The Ravager doesn't want to save the world; it wants to shatter it, promising that true freedom only exists in the "infinite freedom of the void". Morwen is not alone in this waking nightmare. She is tethered to a fractured fellowship. Together, they must hunt the source of the breaches-a cult devoted to a being of anti-creation, whose rituals are "perverse blood-keys" used to dissolve innocent souls into raw, corrupted energy. As the blight rises and the sky itself begins to fray, Morwen must decide: Will she heal the world's wounds, or will she become the predator she was meant to be, setting her friends free through a "final, exquisite act of annihilation"? Step into the laboratory of the unmaking. The ritual has already begun.

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

Arthur; Her Omega Husband

[Female Alpha× Male omega] ................................................. Arthur watched as the gaze of the alpha in front of him not moving the slightest as she then grinned, making him heat up and blush, forcing him to look away from her dangerously beautiful face. And then, she spoke, her eyes obsessively wandering around his lips now, making Arthur feel like he might burn away from just the gaze of those eyes alone. "So," she murmured, "you love me?" "Mm…" Arthur couldn't make himself speak. "I want words, love." She leaned closer, her breath brushing his cheek. "Loud and clear. Just like last night." Arthur felt his face burn as the images of last night flashed across his mind. "Y-yeah…I love you." When Arthur finally confessed, he couldn't help but take a gulp as he stole a glance at her and saw the alpha's eyes gleaming, and the smirk on her lips deepening. "Blushing and looking at me like that…" She exhaled sharply, jaw tightening as she watched Arthur with full of adoration. "I really want to pin you against this damn wall and fuck you till you can't even remember your own name." Arthur knew... She meant it all. And, Arthur was into it...very much. His eyes must have sparkled as she then grinned and whispered in his hot ears again. "You are going to be the death of me Arthur. I swear to God I am going to make you the happiest omega alive." * * * Note: Omegaverse Female Alpha × Male Omega And, yes, that alpha here has a cock. (If you are not a fan of this trope, then please don't move further. I already warned you, so don't complain later. Thank you.) (I don't own the cover art.)

And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate.

The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

I Got Scammed By An Angel: Book 1

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma. When I was given the choice between redoing my own life or being sent to an alternate universe, I chose the second option. I didn’t want to deal with the shattered remains of my past. What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws. I’m not the me in my last life, and I’m not the me of this life. So… who am I? On that note, what in the world is an alpha, beta, or omega? Looks like I have a lot to learn—and fast—if I want to graduate from the Sentinels of Accord Academy, let alone survive in a world filled with supernatural beings. It's a new exciting world just waiting for me to claim my place in it. Top 3 in the end of year competitions looks like a good start. This year is going to be amazing. (The romance is slow-burn. 5 mates in total. The romance doesn't really start in this book. All mates are introduced though.) [Daily Chapter Release and Free until completion]
