Kael used to be part of the “Special Army” that defended the world against “monsters.” Fourteen years ago, unknown portals that looked like black holes started to appear all around the world. After the first monster attack, humans gained extraordinary powers. Having learned their lesson, they went and attacked the monsters first before they could strike. Kael was part of the first group of “Extraordinary Humans,” who later called themselves the “Special Army.” He spent the next seven years fighting for peace. He also found the meaning of his life when the person he secretly loved also loved him back. Everything was going well… until they entered an S-Class Dungeon and his special ability was revealed to everyone. A gift of immortality, also known as “Athanasia.” He never could have guessed that his lover, the very person who gave meaning to his life, would be the same person who would take it from him. His lover killed his comrades in front of him one by one, demanding the gift. Kael gave it up willingly, but his lover still killed him in the end. Just when his lover thought he had died, Kael miraculously survived. Seven years later, his lover became the leader of the biggest and most influential guild in the world. Kael planned to live his life in hiding and live peacefully. But he never could have thought that his ex-lover was still obsessed with the “gift,” going as far as hunting each of Kael’s relatives and friends just to get his hands on the “elixir.” Now, Kael is bent on exacting revenge and stopping this monster from being loose. He will do whatever it takes. He can go as far as getting close to his ex-lover’s younger brother and using him for revenge.

In a world of high-stakes deception and supernatural executions, only one thing is certain: every Crown needs a Wraith, and every Wraith is hungry for the one wearing the Crown.

[BL] His Enemy’s Life Became His To Guard Synopsis Seven years ago, Ethan watched his family die in flames—an attack ordered by one name everyone feared: Logan, a ruthless corporate ruler whose power crushed anyone who crossed him. Ethan disappears and rebuilds himself in the shadows, driven by a single purpose—revenge. To get close enough to kill Logan, he becomes his personal bodyguard. He returns under a false identity and infiltrates Logan’s inner circle as his personal bodyguard, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. But the longer he works by Logan’s side, the clearer it becomes that Logan’s life is in danger—and that he can trust no one. He begins to realize that Logan isn’t the ruthless monster the rumors described. He’s surrounded by enemies and trapped in a violent power struggle. But how could Ethan believe this when he had seen it with his own eyes—his parents burning, and the person responsible claiming they were carrying out Logan’s orders for failing to uphold a deal? Revenge should have been the only thing on his mind. Yet no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stop the conflicting feelings stirring in his chest. Then came the day Logan appeared before him, bloodied, trembling, and teary-eyed, looking at him with a trust that terrified Ethan. “You’re the only one I can trust to protect me,” Logan whispered, his voice cracking. “Promise me, Ethan… please. Promise you’ll stay by my side!” Ethan’s heart clenched. How could he make such a promise? The very reason he had come was to have his revenge—to kill the man who had destroyed his family. And yet… looking at Logan now, bloodied, trembling, and pleading, something inside him wavered. Could Logan really have killed his parents? Could he trust himself to protect the enemy he had sworn to destroy?

The most unlucky woman in the world vs The most mysterious man in the world. A piece of paper declaring a marriage alliance between two enemy families was not her business. Because she would never be picked as the bride anyway. Officer Tai Liwu's bad luck was not just broken heels, exploding cars or birds pooping on her head. It also extended to her dating life--which did not exist. She had resigned herself to a lifetime of arresting bad guys and surviving death with zero romance. But when her sister has a panic attack before walking down the aisle, Tai Liwu is shoved into the bridal hall and told to smile. On the other side of the aisle, City Lord Shen Weijun was dealing with his own disaster: his brother, the intended groom had drugged him, put him in the grooms clothes and bolted! Forced to step in under a false identity, Weijun expects nothing more than a political farce. After all, their families are sworn enemies and this wedding is supposed to be a ceasefire, not a love story. But trouble brews when Weijun finds himself falling for the sharp-tongued police officer who can arrest a pickpocket with one hand and chase after her hat with the other. Pretty soon, he is more interested in kissing her than fearing her bad luck and suspicious intentions. And Liwu, her "bad luck" takes a twist when on her wedding night, she awakens a bad luck system, throwing their lives into chaos.

Note: If you are a fan of stories like Lord of the Mysteries, then Grand Ascension is for you. .... Makun's life has been cursed since birth, or so he thought. When spiritual chains binding his soul begin to break, he discovers his failures weren't bad luck. Someone has been feeding off him for years. Now awakened to a world of mystics and predators, Makun must fight to survive, uncover who chained him, and claim the power that was stolen from him.

In a world overrun by monsters, humanity teeters on the edge of extinction—forced into hiding as creatures of fang and claw dominate the surface. As mana floods the world, both beasts and humans scramble to adapt. Animals and monsters thrive, their powerful bodies evolving rapidly under mana’s influence. Humans, however, lag behind, relying on their fragile yet unique ability to summon companions from beyond. But that imbalance is about to change. In a forgotten apartment, a seemingly ordinary teenager awakens a rare and terrifying power—the ability to fuse anything with his summoned entities, creating something entirely new and unpredictable. What begins as a desperate struggle for survival soon turns into a journey of evolution, strategy, and dominance. As chaos reigns and the strong rise to rule, he steps into a world where every choice could mean life or death. Watch as he navigates the apocalypse, pushing the limits of his power, forging unimaginable combinations, and climbing from obscurity to the very pinnacle of a broken world. Jin has no past—at least, none he can remember. Abandoned at an orphanage as a child, he grew up without any trace of his real parents or the life he once had. Yet unlike many others, Jin’s childhood was stable. The orphanage had solid financial backing, giving him access to proper education and opportunities. He lived quietly, blending into the background—never remarkable, never troubled. Just… ordinary. He carried that same unassuming nature into adulthood. At 21, Jin became a contract lawyer, a profession that suited his sharp mind and attention to detail. Standing at 6'1" with black hair and black eyes, he had a calm, composed presence that made him easy to overlook—but hard to fool. Beneath that quiet exterior, however, was a surprisingly relaxed and humorous personality. He enjoyed reading web novels and watching anime, often losing himself in fictional worlds far more exciting than his own. Morally, Jin walks a fine line. He isn’t a hero, nor is he a villain—he simply does what makes sense to him. But when the world collapses and monsters take over, that ordinary life shatters overnight. The boy with no past, no attachments, and nothing tying him down suddenly finds himself in a perfect position to adapt. While others hesitate, Jin moves. While others cling to old morals, he questions them. And when he awakens the rare ability to fuse anything with his summoned beings, his quiet existence transforms into something far more dangerous. In a world where survival favors the ruthless and the strong, Jin may have been overlooked once— But not anymore. This isn’t a story about saving the world. It’s about enjoying its collapse. In an era where mana surges through reality and monsters dominate the food chain, humanity is no longer the apex species—it’s prey. While others struggle to survive with fragile summons and outdated ideals, one boy discovers a power that breaks the rules entirely. Jin. An orphan with no past. A contract lawyer with a sharp mind. A survivor with zero interest in playing the hero. His ability? Fusion. Not a simple enhancement. Not a limited skill. Jin can fuse anything with his summons—monsters, animals, materials, even abilities—creating beings that evolve beyond known limits. Every fusion results in something recognizable yet terrifyingly new, inspired by legendary and popular creatures, but refined with precision. Names aren’t random or sloppy; each creation is deliberate, accurate, and carries weight—entities that feel real, powerful, and unforgettable. And the best part? It never stops evolving. As the world updates under the influence of mana, so does Jin’s arsenal. New combinations, new monsters, new possibilities—constantly expanding, constantly breaking expectations. But Jin isn’t alone. This world is filled with individuals just as dangerous, each with their own motives, personalities, and depth. Allies, rivals, and enemies aren’t just background pieces—they grow

In "Tales of the Wise Cat: Chapter 1: A New Begging," the bustling city serves as the backdrop for a poignant transformation. As a young man prepares for his first job interview, a sudden act of violence shatters his hopes, thrusting him into a realm between life and death. As darkness envelops him, he awakens to a new existence—reborn as an infant named Ranvir, cradled in the arms of a mother who radiates warmth and mystery. Struggling to reconcile his adult memories with the simple joys of infancy, Ranvir discovers he is not just in a new life, but a world governed by the very fantasies he once read about—cultivation, ancient spirits, and untapped potential. With his strong spirit and clear spiritual roots promising greatness, Ranvir embarks on a journey of self-discovery in this enchanting yet unfamiliar realm, where every heartbeat echoes with the possibility of what is to come.

If he had asked her to walk into the fire with him right then, to tumble willingly into chaos, she would have said yes without hesitation. Her entire body shivered as she nodded, heart hammering, her pulse a wild drum against her ribs. "Always use your words, Bambola. Do you trust me?" he asked again. "Yes…yes…" Her back arched against him instinctively, skin flushed and glistening, every nerve screaming, every muscle taut and alive. Luca's other hand tightened at her neck, squeezing until she gasped for breath. The sensation was exquisite and terrifying, every nerve ending alight as he manipulated the fine line between restriction and pleasure. Vee squeezed her eyes shut, nails digging into his arm as she clung to him, her breath rattling in her chest. He sensed her reaching the edge and drove her closer, the hand at her neck tightening harder. "Luc…" she choked out, a fragmented plea that shattered as her body convulsed, releasing a hot, desperate wave against his fingers and the rug beneath them. Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.

Instead, she stumbles into the Emperor’s forbidden chamber and finds herself face-to-face with the monster himself. But just as death seems inevitable, a single drop of Vera’s blood falls, and the impossible happens. The scent of her blood doesn't drive him to kill; it calms him.

For the first time, the Tyrant sleeps—but only if she is in his arms. Now, Vera is no longer a thief but a prisoner in the Emperor’s bed. She is his medicine, his obsession, and his only lifeline.

In a world ruled by power, reputation, and control, a single deception binds two lives together in a marriage that was never meant to exist. When Elva Williams, a quiet, middle-class orphan raised under the shadow of the Rodriguez family, is forced to take the place of Victoria Rodriguez at the altar, she steps into a life that was never hers. What begins as a temporary arrangement quickly turns into a prison when she is married to Matthew Salvatore—a cold, calculating military officer known for his authority and ruthless control. Unknown to everyone, Matthew is fully aware of the deception from the very beginning, yet he chooses silence, using the situation as a weapon to take revenge on the Rodriguez family. Inside the grand Salvatore mansion, Elva lives like a caged bird—surrounded by luxury yet stripped of freedom. While Matthew’s parents treat her with warmth, unaware of the truth, Matthew himself remains distant, dominant, and dangerously unpredictable. What starts as control slowly shifts into something far more complicated. Beneath his cold exterior, a growing obsession takes root—one he neither understands nor tries to stop.Elva, however, refuses to lose herself. With a dream of becoming a doctor, she clings to her ambition as the only piece of her identity that remains untouched. But when Matthew begins to tighten his control, denying her even the chance to pursue her future, she realizes she must escape—or risk losing everything. On her eighteenth birthday, she makes her move. With nothing but courage and desperation, Elva escapes the mansion, leaving behind a letter that reveals the truth of her identity and the deception that brought her there. While the Salvatore household is shaken by the revelation, Matthew is left with something far more dangerous than anger—an emptiness he cannot ignore. As days turn into weeks, his search for her becomes relentless. He neglects his duties, loses control of his discipline, and descends into a quiet obsession that consumes him entirely. Meanwhile, Elva rebuilds her life from nothing. Living in a small rented room, she studies, works, and fights for the future she almost lost. For the first time, she experiences freedom—fragile, uncertain, but real. Yet even in her new life, the past lingers, refusing to fade. Because Matthew Salvatore does not forget. Realizing she would never abandon her dream, he begins searching where it matters most—colleges. One by one, he checks every institution until fate finally brings them face to face again. What follows is not a reunion, but a capture. In a moment that strips away her hard-earned freedom, Matthew takes her back—this time with no intention of letting her go. Back in the mansion, the truth is no longer hidden. His family demands punishment. They demand a proper marriage, a rightful bride, a restoration of honor. But Matthew refuses them all. In a declaration that shifts everything, he claims Elva openly—not as a mistake, but as his responsibility, his decision, his possession. Trapped once again, Elva finds herself facing a harsher reality. This time, escape is no longer an option. Matthew tightens his control, even going as far as taking away her education—her dream—as punishment for running away. But instead of breaking, something inside her changes. She stops running. She starts planning. Realizing that force will never win against someone like Matthew, Elva chooses a different path—one of strategy, patience, and quiet rebellion. If she cannot escape the cage, she will make the one who built it open the door himself.As obsession deepens and resistance sharpens, their relationship transforms into a dangerous battle of will and emotion. Control clashes with freedom, power with identity, and somewhere in between, something far more complicated begins to take shape—something neither of them is ready to name.In a world where one refuses to let go and the other refuses to surrender, the question remains— Will she ever truly be free?
