Shannon Miles finally achieved her dream of becoming a recognized author. Then she was humiliated in front of the entire literary industry, drenched in pig’s blood at the Annual Author Awards Gala, and killed in a car accident hours later. Now she’s trapped inside her unfinished LitRPG romantasy novel Ashes of the Crown as Lillian Nirvana, the secret daughter of murdered nobles caught in the center of a deadly royal conspiracy. Armed with the mysterious Vowkeeper System, Lillian must grow stronger through vows, quests, and choices that carry real consequences. But there’s one problem, the tragic First Prince who was supposed to die early in the story is still alive and he’s Ethan Blakes, her rival author’s older brother. Together, they must survive palace politics, expose a witch queen, stop a corrupt nobleman from reclaiming the throne, and prevent the fall of the Kingdom of Androva before the unfinished story destroys them all. But the closer they become, the more dangerous their promises grow. Because in Androva, vows are power. And some promises are written in blood.

In a rain-soaked Amegakure, a quiet pariah named Zaraki Kita navigates life at the fringes of shinobi society. When she crosses paths with Konan, the angelic and enigmatic Akatsuki, sparks fly in unexpected ways. Amid rooftop barbecues, playful teasing, and the chaos of a rogue organization gone bizarrely domestic, a tender romance blossoms—against a backdrop of prejudice, war, and societal expectations. As north meets south, feelings stir in the quiet corners of a world that doesn’t understand them, and even the infamous Akatsuki can’t stay serious for long. Note: Whitewash Akatsuki! All characters are OOC. Blackened Hinata, Blackened Neji, Blackened Naruto, Blackened Sasuke, Blackened Konoha—all of them subverted to the extreme!

"May the blinded see" The Window to the Soul. Gods system of which all who are born are attached to. Bestowed the destiny they are divined to fulfill. Each person is born with a "Class" that determines their future. Beginning at level 0 at birth until the age of 10 where they become level 1 and are allowed to begin earning experience by fulfilling their class quests and using their skills. The vast majority of people on the Grand Continent are born into simple classes. Tailor, Trader, Cook, Scholar, Farmer. Among others. All of which whose leveling will likely stagnate once they reach level 5. Unable to progress because their Class quests needed to level up become increasingly more unfeasible to fulfill. And by then, most will be in their old age. With the exception of those who rule over the peasant classes. Those who were born with combat classes who level considerably faster with the abundance of monsters that plague the Grand. None more powerful than the Holy Order of Paladins that aids in governing the continent. Liore is a peasant of a distant village, born to Farmer and a Chef. Born with the Farmer class like her mother. She was destined to be in the shadow of her heroic older brother who was born with the "Holy Knight" Class. After an incident that almost takes her life, she stumbles upon an ancient artifact that gifts her abilities beyond her god given class. Her brother is sent off to train with the Holy Order, leaving her with his old training sword as a keepsake. Now emboldened, Liore is lead down her new destiny by the mysterious Captain of the village guard. Motivating her to take on this new path to power. With all of the strife that comes along with it...

SLOW BURN Love is a searing trail she's afraid to follow. ..... Evelina Wilson was sure of everything she wanted in life, and finding love didn't make the list. She has been scorched and scarred too much, she had shut her heart against it and and any form of its fantasies — atleast so she thought till she met him, Pete Hudson, her 'dare kiss'. All it took was one dare to kiss the lips of a stranger at the bachelorette party she had been forced to attend, to be exposed to a world of unending temptations. She wants to stay away from him, but he has her in a snare. How far can she fight off her temptations, before she gives in to the fantasies she's scared of? What would it take for her to heal and how long will he wait? EXCERPT ******** Alexandra and Christopher. Christopher caught the glint of excitement and expectations in her eyes. "I still think you're a very foolish girl to want this..want me." He told her, and Alexa daringly tipped her chin at him. "Why? Because you think you're going to hurt me?" "No, silly girl, because I will do more than hurt you. I'm not a good man for you, and you deserve better. Far better than me. And while I'd hate to have someone touch your lips again," he grazed his thumb against her soft lips. "it's a truth that has to be told." Unaware of herself, Alexa inched closer to him as if spirited by something unknown. Her face lifted to his till he felt her minty breath on his chin and her fingers brushing against it. "I do not doubt there's better out there for me, Christopher—" She muttered, and his brows twitched before narrowing to a knot. "Yes, there a few men out there who'd care about me and my feelings more than you'd ever be capable of. Of course, they're smarter, more handsome —" "Thread with caution, Alexa," He darkly drawled, and Alexa held back the smile about to spread across her face. She continued. "Yes, there is a line of perfect men out there, maybe a short one, because I doubt such precious jewels would be abundant. They have to be rare." "Alexandra!" "But despite this possibility of good men being out there, I still want you, Christopher. Yes, you'll burn me, but I've had my battle scars already. If this will be my end, then I pick you to be the fire that ruins me because I'll have it no other way." "Alexandra," He husked, breathing out her name as her dainty hands cupped his face and pulled him down till he touched her lips with his one more time. "And just so you know, you're not safe from me because I'll hurt you too, as that is all I've ever known, Christopher. I'll take from you till there's nothing left of you take." She said, trying her best to use the very words he had said to her over that kitchen island a few days ago. While her voice lacked the vigor he had possessed when he said those words to her, she meant every word of it. They both wanted each other, so they would take whatever they could from the other. She inched closer, and Christopher let her do as she pleased with him. She teased him with her not-so-naive lips, and he groaned. He gripped his hand around hers when she broke the kiss and tried to pull away. He tried controlling his strength as he roughly pulled her back, slamming her slender body against his. "I'm going to brand you mine. All mine, Alexandra. And I want you to remember it was you who wanted this. You." He told her as if wanting to drill the words into her skull, so she would never forget. "Alexandra?" He called when she stared silently at him. Nodding, she agreed. "I won't forget." A steady romance with a lot of sweetness. NOTE: I WRITE SLOW BURN.

Felix Altan — the bastard son of the traitorous Duke Altan — was a Prime Omega who did everything he possibly could in trying to win a morsel of affection his father could spare him. When the Duke needed a loyal right-hand man, he proved himself worthy. When the Duke needed a seductress, he became the seductress. When the Duke needed someone to kill for him, he became the killer. With hands stained in the blood of thousands, he morphed himself into anything his father wanted. He aided the Duke in committing high treason against the Crown. When the Duke schemed for the throne, he aided the man. He was blind, devout, and ruthless. The peasants only dared whisper his name, fearing his attention. He killed his sister, poisoned her husband, and watched them die. All because the Duke loved her. After the coup failed and his father was executed, Felix evaded arrest and was chased around the empire for years after. When the Omega was finally dragged to the gallows and faced the people he brought suffering to, regret suffocated him before the ropes could. As the darkness swallowed him whole, a disembodied voice in the void asked whether he would choose a different path if he could. Felix answered with the utmost honesty he could muster before his mind slipped. What he thought was the end forever, turned into the beginning of his second chance at life. This time, Felix Altan vowed — faced with the choice — to not repeat his last life and atone for his actions in the future that never came. ... Villainous, Broken, and trying to do better, reborn Omega x Good to everyone, rude to only one, "I do not find his air pleasant" Alpha. Redemption in second life is the ultimate goal. Felix might seem a pushover sometimes but it's just him trying to understand how to do good things.

Getting sentenced to death by a panel of eccentric vampires wasn't how I planned to spend my Tuesday. Transmigrated into the body of a condemned human in Staten Island, I survived the execution only because my life suddenly became the hottest show in the multiverse. Bound to the Supernatural Documentary Production System (SDPS), I’m now the unwitting star of a living reality show where my survival depends on "Viewer Engagement Points." To keep the interdimensional ratings high, I have to navigate the lethal whims of Nandor, Nadja, and Laszlo while balancing werewolf alliances and a suspicious Guillermo. In a world where every awkward silence is "filler" and every near-death experience is a "season finale," I'm not just trying to stay alive—I’m trying to avoid getting canceled. Because in this show, a series finale means literal death.

[Character videos and images-discord-https://discord.gg/wmcF4trFt2] Thomas had always been diligent, loyal, and quietly dependable — the kind of young man who put family before himself. Yet it was that very family who betrayed him. Their greed and ambition led to his death, ending his life on Earth with bitterness and unanswered questions. But death was not his end. He awakened in another world — a realm where gods were not distant myths but the most powerful beings in existence. Here, divinity was sustained by faith itself; the more believers a god had, the stronger that god became. Entire civilizations rose and fell based on devotion. Reborn as Jolthar, Thomas quickly discovered that fate had not granted him peace. The noble family he was born into was fractured, cold, and rife with internal conflict. Ambition, jealousy, and neglect defined his new household, echoing the betrayal of his previous life. Instead of love, he found rivalry; instead of support, suspicion. Yet Jolthar was not one to bend. Hard-headed, stubborn, and driven by a fierce will to rise above weakness, he refused to remain a victim — whether of family, society, or even the gods themselves. In a world where belief created divinity, he began to question the very system that sustained the heavens. Why worship… when one could ascend? His fate took a decisive turn when he received the blessing of Qalena, a powerful and enigmatic goddess whose motives remained unclear. Some said she saw potential in him. Others whispered she sought a champion — or perhaps something far more dangerous. With her blessing, Jolthar’s path became clear. He would carve his own legend. He would rise beyond mortal limitations. And one day, he would not merely pray to the gods. He would stand among them — or above them. [My Twitter id : https://x.com/jl_lucifer]

The story is told from the son's perspective. The mother displays extreme lewdness and seductiveness in front of her lover, while trying her best to appear dignified and kind in front of her son. Eventually, she is blackmailed and loses her chastity to a villain, all while desperately trying to maintain her maternal image in front of her son, completely unaware that her lewd behavior has been witnessed by him all along. Perhaps this reflects the difficulty of being both a mother and a woman, having to struggle for the family while being unable to give up the physical pleasures that she deserves as a woman. ***** Support me and read further ahead at: Patreon: CliffTrevor

In a world where the sun pales and the Eternal Winter advances like a hungry shadow, an ancient legend is unearthed from the frozen rocks. Khulag, the gray-furred alpha ape, finds in the depths of the sea a two-headed fish that not only speaks but whispers languages that do not yet exist. Forever marked, she abandons her troop and carves into a headstone a warning that time has nearly erased. Years later, the imposing Commander Shal’falah, leader of the fearsome Silver-Claw Guardians — silver felines born to hunt and burn —, reads the words on the stone and makes a decision that shakes centuries of tradition: to stop hunting the gray apes and protect the “blood of fire” that may be the last hope against the cold that devours the world. Between fractured loyalties and instincts screaming for flesh, the Silver-Claw clan begins to split. Winter does not wait… and the prophecy is already awake.

As an ordinary person, Takatsuki came to Changkong City, where the survival rate of ordinary people was infinitely close to 0. He faced a major choice in life. Should he escape from Changkong City before the third collapse and live his life as an ordinary person, and live in fear, and then wait for the protagonists to solve everything? Or should he personally throw himself into the collapse, interfere with the main storyline, and use his own power to seek a hope of survival? Takatsuki chose the latter.

My arm ached where the needle pierced the vein. Already, my fingers were numb, spots spinning in front of my eyes. Something clattered onto the pavement. The needle. It must have slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace that I'd felt since...ever. But that was okay. It meant that there was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. Well, perhaps there would be a few, but they could always find others to extract their cruel, sadistic pleasure from. My last breath was rough and shallow, the last beat of my heart pitifully fail. I sank to the alley floor, eyes closing, welcoming the blessed nothingness of the end. Only...death was supposed to be dark, wasn't it? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY
