Firion is a elf soldier who was betrayed by his people after his lover of centuries committed infidelity for nobility. Wounded, a corrosive acid thrown in his eyes, and then tossed over a bridge. Miraculously he survives, and finds himself being treated by a kind maiden named Kaida. But he quickly finds out that she is of the blue horn tribe, otherworldly people branded as demons for their appearance and strange practices. They were also the ones who destroyed his childhood. But he soon finds himself questioning if Kaida is really such a demon, or does he wish for something else from her?

A nine-year-old boy named Bereshith survives what should have killed him. With only his sibling and a guarded past, he walks east toward a fate he does not yet understand. Violence passes him by. Words spoken through him linger too long. Where others see a fragile child, something ancient watches and waits. God does not move through spectacle. Grace chooses broken people for unbearable purposes. A fallen knight becomes his protector, unknowingly escorting a turning point in history. Cities turn away. Mercy is tested. Blood is spilled in the name of protection. Still Bereshith walks on, carrying not power—but authority. Not conquest—but judgment tempered by mercy. As the road leads east, the world draws closer to a moment it cannot escape. When his role is finally revealed, the question will not be whether God still speaks, but whether humanity is willing to listen.

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

Born a prince of Manderana, he was never meant to live. On the night of his birth, the stars vanished, the moon disappeared, and the artifact of selection shattered—declaring his affinity as dark magic, a path unfit for a king. Spared from execution only by mercy, he was sentenced to exile. At the age of four, the unwanted prince was sent to the North—a land of monsters, demons, and endless war—armed with nothing but dangerous survival techniques and a monthly allowance that would end when he turned fifteen. No blessings. No hidden talents. No destiny written in his favor. Only observation, adaptation, and the will to live. This is not the story of a chosen hero. It is the story of a child who learned how to survive— and what that survival would eventually cost the world.

Eleven centuries after our existence, a new world has emerged. All nations now live on a single land, united under one supreme god in absolute supremacy. But is this truly a perfect world? If we are all equals, then why do superior races still exist, while others are cast aside as societal waste? Divided by golden domes, each person dreams of becoming a “Perfect”, a being purified of all emotions and perfectly sane, a being stripped of feelings in pursuit of eternal life. But at what cost? That is why they were born... The "Tracks Emotional", beings who possess only a single, pure emotion, were created to destroy all threats that transcend the nature of our world. From corrupted emotions arise the “Transemotional”, born mostly from the Fosse, and driven by unstable genetics or devouring feelings. They transform into massive, uncontrollable shadows that relentlessly attack the domes. All they have are their dreams.

He was an orphan with mediocre aptitude and a humble background. Through perseverance and an unwillingness to settle for mediocrity, he practiced cultivation desperately. By a stroke of luck, he awakened the Ancient Martial Soul, long extinct in this world, and from that moment on, his rise was unstoppable, like a comet soaring high, embarking on a cultivation journey to dominate the world. Starting as a beggar who was bullied by others, he began to shine with each step, entering into an era of chaos where Sects are numerous, talents abound, the Ten Thousand Clans vie for power, and human heroes emerge one after another in a vast and magnificent world. With the 'Tyrant Sky Martial Soul', he vowed to forge his own myth!

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

Owned In The Shadows (The Kallias Dynasty - Book 1): A Forbidden Best Friend's Dad Age-Gap Romance An elite, high-angst MM billionaire age-gap romance about past obsessions, dangerous secrets, and the line between protection and possession. Book 1 of The Kallias Dynasty Three years ago on the Spanish coast, a single night altered the trajectory of two lives. For Hero, penniless and drowning in the wreckage of his late father’s debts, the enigmatic stranger on the luxury yacht was an escape—a temporary reprieve from a crushing reality. For Maximilian Kallias, a shipping magnate who built an empire on cold precision and ruthless control, the quiet, captivating boy was a rare, dangerous lapse in judgment. Before the sun rose over Puerto Banús, Maximilian vanished, leaving Hero with nothing but a phantom memory and a quiet ache that time couldn't dull. Now twenty-two and rebuilding his life on a scholarship, Hero believes the past is buried. When his closest friend, Elias, invites him to spend the summer at the Kallias family’s private estate in the Hamptons, it feels like a glimpse into a world Hero was never meant to inhabit. Then a brutal coastal storm strays him off course, stranding him before he reaches the gates. And the man who steps out of the shadow to pull him from the deluge isn't a stranger. It’s Maximilian. Powerful, possessive, and wearing a platinum wedding band, the billionaire head of the Kallias empire isn't just Hero’s elusive host. He is his best friend's father—and the man who took his heart three years ago. Trapped together as state authorities shut down the roads, the forced proximity pulls old embers into a suffocating fire. To Maximilian, coincidences do not exist; suspicious of Hero's sudden presence in his son's life, his instinct is to protect his family at all costs. Yet the intense, dark gravity pulling him toward Hero remains untouched by time. Bound by duty, separated by age and wealth, and hunted by the secrets they keep, staying apart is the only logical choice. But in the quiet isolation of the storm, logic is the first thing to burn. OWNED IN THE SHADOWS is Book 1 of The Kallias Dynasty series. It is an ongoing sequential story featuring Hero and Maximilian. Their journey begins here and continues in Part 2. Intended for mature readers.

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Sienna Vale, the last heiress of the fallen House Vale, awakens in exile within the Wasteland, a cursed land where nothing grows. Though stripped of magic and battle spiritual energy after drinking the Water of Nothingness, she discovers an unbelievable secret: a mysterious Spatial Farm bound to her soul, functioning like a living system that allows her to plant crops, harvest them at an abnormal speed, and store items in an infinite warehouse. At first, Sienna uses the farm to grow radishes, realizing they are valuable “magic vegetables” in this world. With this discovery, she begins forming a low-key survival plan, aiming to secretly sell produce through Harold, her loyal steward, while avoiding the attention of powerful nobles who destroyed her family. As Sienna explores abandoned dwarf mines near her castle, she finds them perfect for breeding livestock, especially blue-eyed rabbits. She collects black soil and underground river water from the wasteland and mines, bringing them into the Spatial Farm. This triggers rapid upgrades, granting her corn and wheat seeds, strengthening the space soil and water, and revealing that the cursed land can be purified. With new resources, loyal followers, and a growing system that evolves through discovery, Sienna Vale begins laying the foundation for rebuilding the House Vale, transforming a dead territory into a future empire of wealth and survival.

Emma Collins thought her wedding day would be the beginning of her happily ever after. Instead, it became a nightmare when she discovered her fiancé, David, betraying her with her own sister, Victoria. In a moment of desperation and heartbreak, Emma exposes their affair to the entire wedding party, hoping to end the marriage. But her plans are shattered when her parents insist the wedding must go on—only now, her sister will be the bride. Devastated and alone, Emma spirals into despair, her dreams of love and happiness crushed. In a fit of revenge, she finds solace in the arms of a mysterious stranger, unaware that he is Alexander Knight, the most powerful and ruthless CEO in the city. The next morning, she leaves him behind with nothing but a stack of money on the nightstand, never expecting to see him again. But Alex doesn’t forget. Offended by her gesture and intrigued by her fiery spirit, he tracks Emma down, only to find her standing on the edge of a river, ready to end it all. He rescues her, offering a twisted deal: he’ll help her take vengeance on her unfaithful fiancé and manipulative sister, but in return, she must marry him and bear his child. As Emma navigates her new life with Alex, she’s thrust into a world of wealth, power, and dark secrets.

In a world where loyalty is fleeting and love is a luxury, Emma must find the strength to reclaim her life, even if it means risking everything for a chance at true happiness. But as old wounds are reopened and new threats emerge, one question remains: Can a contract forged in revenge ever lead to something real?

Family is a luxury not everyone can afford. Adelyn learned that the day Clara returned to the Scott family —and she quietly stopped belonging. No one abused her. No one hurt her openly. But the love that was once hers alone became divided. The attention that once chose her … became something she had to borrow. And whenever something precious stood between her and Clara —Adelyn was the one asked to let go. Not once. Not twice. But every single time. Her dreams. Her choices. Her place in the family. Her heart didn’t break in a single moment —it wore down slowly … until nothing remained worth fighting for. So, she erased herself from their world. Not in anger. Not in revenge. But to save what little of herself was left. ————— Seven years later, Adelyn returned. Not for the Scott family. Not for their love. She came back for the dreams she was once forced to abandon —and this time, nothing would be taken from her. No compromises. No sacrifices. Only her life. Her rules. She breathed in freedom. “No family…no shackles.” But just then— Two small arms wrapped around her legs, making her stiffen. When she looked down to check, she met a pair of familiar doe eyes staring up at her with unwavering trust. “Mama … Eira waited long for you. Don’t leave again.” …Mama? Before she could understand or react, a tall shadow fell over them. A man stood there —gaze sharp, cold, claiming —looking at her like she had belonged to him. “You dared to show up again?” Adelyn felt clueless. She would have asked him what he meant, however — Before she could speak — the ground vanished beneath her feet. A powerful arm lifted her effortlessly. “Since you dared …” his voice dropped —low, restrained, dangerous. “Don’t think of escaping again.
