Two disciples from rival sects, one bound by an old marriage pact that tethers two clans together, discover they share an ancient forbidden cultivation resonance. Training in secret, they must choose between duty to their sects or a love powerful enough to rewrite fate.

In the aristocratic city of Valenza—where etiquette is treated as a higher law than morality—Duke Sebastiano Decharis is admired as the very definition of noble perfection: composed, erudite, and impeccably refined. What society does not know is that beneath his tailored coats and measured speech lies the blood of an ancient werewolf Alpha, forever struggling to restrain instincts unbecoming of a gentleman. Chiara Suvelyne, a brilliant and formidable Countess, has built her reputation on intellect and composure alone. When she accidentally discovers Sebastiano’s peculiar behavior within the Forbidden Library, curiosity turns into suspicion—and suspicion into a dangerous fascination. As political conspiracies tighten around Valenza and moonlit secrets refuse to remain buried, Chiara and Sebastiano are forced into an unlikely partnership where wit must tame the wild, and love must learn the most difficult art of all: restraint.

They said she was shameless. They said she had three children by different men. They never asked what she sacrificed to keep them alive. Maxie Rivera is a maid burdened by rumors and judged by a past she never explains. When billionaire CEO Ethan Montoya marries her against all odds, society laughs—until a shocking truth uncovered on their wedding night exposes a sacrifice so deep it shakes powerful families and unmasks hidden crimes. This is not the story of a fallen woman. It is the story of a woman who carried everyone else when the world walked away.

Mei Lin thought she was accepting a simple caregiving job in a remote mansion. She was wrong. The estate belongs to Alpha Alaric Mooncrest—a powerful werewolf ruler crippled by guilt after the accidental death of his Luna. Broken in body and spirit, Alaric has rejected healing, the moon, and himself. Mei is human. Or so she believes. As she grows closer to the Alpha, strange dreams awaken, the moon begins to call her name, and secrets buried within the mansion rise to the surface. Chosen by the Moon Goddess herself, Mei is marked to replace a fallen Luna—an impossible fate for a human woman. Bound by destiny and divided by guilt, Mei and Alaric must confront forbidden love, ancient laws, and a bond that could either save them both… or destroy the pack. Because under a broken moon, some hearts are not meant to remain human.

On the island where Haruto lived, things rarely changed. The sea followed the same rhythm, people believed in the same traditions, and life seemed to move forward without haste. Haruto grew up believing that happiness was something simple — built from ordinary days and small choices. Ayame was part of a past he had learned to keep with care. Shizuku, on the other hand, became the present he chose to live. But not all silence is comfortable. Over time, words began to fall short, glances lingered longer than they should, and decisions appeared without explanation. Nothing was said out loud. Even so, something began to slip away. This is a story about what remains when answers do not come. About choices no one understands at the moment they are made. And about what was never said.

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.

Kaelon was a slum rat. He worked for a local gang and guarded a casino. His fate was to become another drunkard rotting in the shadow of Altium City. But this fate would change.

Haruno Yukinoshita prostrated herself on the ground, pledging her absolute loyalty in the most respectful manner: “The Yukinoshita family is willing to offer everything to you. Yes… everything.” Ran Mouri forced a trembling smile, the light gone from her eyes: “Sir, I believe there is something I can do for you… Please, just save Shinichi.” Facing Ran’s request, Eri Kisaki adjusted her glasses, her gaze instantly sharpening: “Ran! I don’t remember raising you to be such a shameless child!” However, Seiran Mizunotsuki, who was currently holding Eri Kisaki in his arms, fell into deep thought. Aren’t you teaching her by example? Meanwhile, an outsider from the Reincarnation Space stared stiffly at the Gods and Buddhas filling the sky, howling in despair at the heavens: “Damn Reincarnation Space! You lied to me!

“My father was unfaithful to my mother—while they were still married.” “Because of her, my parents split up. So tell me—isn’t your mother nothing but a despicable home-wrecker?” “You and her. Both of you are nothing but despicable home-wreckers.” Su Tang was twelve that year, a first-year in junior high. Standing before him was a girl of delicate features, a full head taller than he was, her face cold and twisted with revulsion. “Sis… my mom isn’t a bad person…” “Don’t you dare call me that!” The girl’s expression curdled with disgust. “Who gave you the right to address me like that?” Su Tang could tell this stepsister, bound to him by no blood at all, wanted nothing to do with him. What he never could have guessed, though, was that he was about to move in with this college girl—and live under the same roof for a very long time. To make matters stranger, she shared the apartment with two other girls, both nineteen, just like her. But as time went by, Su Tang began to realize something was off about the way they looked at him… It was almost as if they were raising him—like their own little pet project. “Hey, brat.” She lay sprawled lazily on the sofa and crooked a finger at him. “Get over here and rub my legs.” Years later, Su Tang was a college student himself, no longer the scrawny 150-centimeter boy he’d once been. When he pushed open the door, the three girls—his former sisters—were still lounging lazily on that same sofa. They were twenty-six now. Su Tang was nineteen. “Sis, I’m home.” “How many times have I told you? Don’t call me sister.” “Then what should I call you?” A faint, knowing smile lingered in her tone. “You tell me.”

In the vast multiverse, balance is everything. When one world’s power threatens to spill over and shatter reality, the Celestial Auditors step in—immortal inspectors who watch, judge, and fix. Lookon, an ordinary young man from the Leekelo universe who loved anime, manga, and Marvel, died in a freak accident. Instead of the end, he was reborn as an Auditor: perfectly immortal, eternally young, but forever alone as friends fade. Armed with the cold, impartial **System**, his mission is clear: Travel universes. Audit imbalances. Observe first. Intervene only when necessary. Fight only to save everything. No glory. No harems. Just duty. He walks the worlds he once dreamed of—Harry Potter, Naruto, My Hero Academia, High School DxD, One Piece, Dragon Ball, Fairy Tail, Marvel—quietly earning trust, forming real friendships, and mending fractures before they spread. The System grants him pieces of each world’s power: magic, chakra, quirks, haki, ki, and more. But power is only a tool. Lookon is no savior seeking fame. He is the Inspector—the silent guardian who checks the multiverse’s pulse, steps in when it falters, and leaves when balance returns. One question haunts the silence between worlds: How long can one man bear eternity… before it breaks him? A slow-burn multiversal tale of quiet responsibility, cross-world bonds, and the hidden cost of being the one who fixes what others break.

The Great Old ones have made a pact. The Rise of a Winter king, whose Fate has been threaded with tragedy. The bargain struck and the realms pay for it. But the costs, come together. [Robb Stark SI] [Cyoa x Got!Au]

A fantasy novel with elements of psychological pain and growth. It follows the main character, Roy Shyam, a cynical yet compassionate 17-year-old cursed with the ability of transmigration, bound by a yandere witch whose obsession with him ensures he can never escape. Every time Roy dies, he is transmigrated to another universe, a new version of him. Entering the life of each universe's Roy while facing subtle to absurd circumstances. This eternal malediction breaks down his identity of himself and prevents him from speaking of it, which summons the witch, causing him to go back in time to a place he was before. We are then introduced to another version of Roy, one were our Roy has yet to take over his body; he emerges in a society where continents, countries and law thrive through the use of prana, a force that connects life, will and reality. Here, Roy forms a faction called Nova in Veil and draws the attention of the Celestial Watch, the protector of the land where he lives. The plot moves from intimate suffering to the rebirth of a new character, culminating in his choices about memory, fate and what it exactly means to live.

In a world where superheroes clash and cosmic threats loom, an ordinary Marvel fan from Earth dies and awakens as Alex Kane—a newborn in the MCU, armed with the ultimate cheat: the power to analyze any DNA and selectively replicate the abilities, talents, and traits of heroes, villains, and anyone he encounters. No overpowered system handouts. No instant godhood. Just smart, calculated collection—starting small with empathy from his struggling single mother, subtle intellect boosts from teachers, and fractional super-soldier enhancements stolen in secret. He grinds like the web novel protagonists he once read about: investing in future tech trends he remembers, building a shadowy tech empire from humble game prototypes, and forging an advanced AI that evolves into something rivaling JARVIS. Alex isn't a reckless savior. He's a good man who puts family and true friends first—extending his mother's life with copied resilience, shielding his childhood crew from danger, and quietly reducing civilian deaths in every major battle he influences. He helps the Avengers carry their burdens: easing Tony's guilt, supporting Wanda through her grief, grounding Peter in friendship, and offering Black Widow a rare space of genuine trust. As powers stack—Stark's genius sharpening his mind, Cap's durability hardening his body, Asgardian longevity promising centuries, glimpses of chaos magic and speed—he navigates the timeline with meta-knowledge and ruthless pragmatism. He builds Kane Tech, a company that delivers real-world innovations to help Earth while quietly amassing wealth during Stark's dips and Ultron's chaos. Romances bloom slowly and authentically: deep emotional bonds with Wanda Maximoff (shared understanding of loss and power), Gwen Stacy (intellectual equals navigating hero life), and Natasha Romanoff (mutual respect forged in shadows and missions). No conquests for power—just real connections that grow amid the chaos. Even Nick Fury hesitates to approach him. Alex reads people like open books, exposes Hydra spies worldwide through his AI, and offers advice that cuts too close—making him an invaluable, yet unnerving, ally in the shadows. In a universe racing toward Thanos and beyond, Alex doesn't seek the spotlight. He seeks control, longevity for those he loves, and a world where fewer innocents pay the price for heroes' wars. But as he collects the DNA of gods, monsters, and multiversal threats, one question lingers: How long before the power changes the man who once just wanted to survive—and protect his own? DNA Replication — Smart progression. Genuine bonds. A shadow guardian rewriting the MCU, one copied trait at a time. (Perfect for fans of progression fantasy, careful power scaling, emotional depth, light harem elements, and MCU canon with smart twists!) Written using AI

SYNOPSIS After getting fired from her dead-end job, Mira Kale, a twenty-two-year-old orphan, stumbles into a mysterious boutique called "Wish." The store feels strange, almost alive. And when she buys the only thing she can afford — an old, vintage bag — she has no idea her life is about to end… and begin again. Moments after leaving the shop and getting into her apartment, Mira is killed by the very bag she bought. But instead of dying, she awakens to a voice — a bubbly, thousand-year-old system named Vira — who tells her she's been chosen for a cosmic mission. Her task? To travel through ten different worlds, taking the place of souls who died unjustly, righting their wrongs, and taking revenge on their enemies. Each completed world earns her one billion star points — and when she reaches ten billion, she'll finally have the chance to revive her parents and live the life she's always dreamed of. But failure means something far worse than death. From a pharmaceutical and perfume heiress in one world to a battle-hardened doctor in another, Mira will live countless lives — fighting rival systems, outsmarting villains, uncovering supernatural secrets, and slowly becoming someone far greater than she ever imagined. With a baby-faced system that's as mischievous as it is loyal, and a fate that demands both heart and strength, Mira's journey will test everything she believes about love, justice, and what it truly means to live again. Will she survive all ten worlds and rewrite her destiny… or vanish, forgotten, between realities?

Asher grew up knowing one rule: Ziven was never his brother. Ziven never said it out loud but he proved it in every way that mattered. The distance. The silence. The way his gaze lingered too long and then looked away first. Years later, when they’re adults and trapped under the same roof again, Asher realizes the truth is far worse than rejection. Ziven didn’t keep his distance because he didn’t care. He did it because he cared too much. Now every step closer feels like a mistake. Every breath shared feels like a line being crossed. And the most dangerous thing of all? Ziven has never stopped watching him.

In the alternate world of Hale, Jon was once a titan of industry—a successful senior artist for a premier company specializing in collectible cards for famous franchises. He lived a life of creativity and prestige, until the sky fractured. Without warning, Dimensional Gates and Dungeons tore through the fabric of reality, unleashing waves of monsters that brought only chaos and destruction. In the wake of the catastrophe, emerged—superhuman heroes endowed with the powers to push back the darkness. But this new world order came at a steep price for Jon. As fantasy became a living, breathing reality, the world lost interest in cardboard monsters and imaginary heroes. John’s company collapsed, and his life’s work became worthless. For ten years, John lived at the absolute bottom of society, scraping by on grueling part-time jobs just to survive in a world that had moved on without him. Everything changed one night when Jon finally "awakened." Unlike the Hunters who gained strength or speed, Jon gained a unique, paradoxical ability:A system that allows him to bestow the powers of cards he collected to people—but he cannot use any of these cards on himself. Armed with his artistic genius and a decade of hardship, John decides to play a different game. He will not be a hero ; he will be the one who creates them. Using his ability wisely, John begins to scout talent and forge the world's most elite heros, eventually building the strongest and very first International Guild in the history of Hale.

Born as the fourth prince of a decaying empire, Wu An was raised to be brilliant, polite—and irrelevant. Cast aside by his brothers and ignored by his warlord father, he wore his mask well: the quiet scholar, the forgotten son. But when a strange light drags him from his modern world into a twisted imperial court filled with ancient rites and fractured thrones, he awakens in a body shaped for power—and vengeance. To survive the throne room is to master the battlefield. To win the war is to become a monster. When war erupts in the north, Wu An unleashes a brutal campaign of subterfuge and slaughter. But beneath every victory lies something far more terrifying—visions of monks with bone-bead rosaries, scriptures written in blood, and gods that do not belong to this world. At the heart of the empire is a secret buried in ink and ash, and behind every smile in the capital, a knife waits.
