She was running from death. She ran straight into him. Cassian doesn’t save people. He controls empires from the shadows, destroys those who cross him, and never allows weakness near him. Yet when he finds a bloodied girl on the side of the road—eyes sharp even as she’s dying—he makes a choice he never should have. Mira is not weak. She is not ordinary. And she is not safe. He saves her. He hides her. He keeps her. What begins as protection slowly turns into possession. As Mira’s past resurfaces and her rare bloodline becomes something others would kill for, Cassian realizes one terrifying truth: He doesn’t just want to protect her. He doesn’t want to lose her. And Mira is about to learn that being loved by him is far more dangerous than being hunted.

Mia just wanted a quiet life and a cheap apartment. Instead, she ended up as the "Den Mother" for five legendary beings in a pocket-dimension manor hidden behind a dry cleaner. Living with roommates is hard, but it’s even harder when: Your "Dad" roommate is a Tengu (Liam) whose ten-foot wingspan keeps breaking the chandeliers. The resident goth is a Reaper (Zayn) who catalogs souls while sipping Earl Grey. The "puppy" is a literal Werewolf (Harry) with a bone-obsession and a 104-degree body temperature. And then there are the twins. Louis, a silver Nine-Tailed Fox who lives for pranks and "Employee of the Month" heists, and Niall, a golden Nine-Tailed Fox who smells like vanilla and can calm a storm with a purr. Between grocery runs that end in police chases and "cuddle-piles" that nearly crush her to death, Mia is just trying to survive. But when the human world and the mythical world collide, she realizes these five beasts aren't just roommates—they’re her pack. And heaven help anyone who tries to hurt their human.

Wu Xuan transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, awakening a Wind Element Martial Soul and a mutated Soul-Breaking Spear with Spiritual attributes—two top-tier twin Martial Souls. However, the fatal flaw was that Wu Xuan transmigrated to the declining Po Clan ten thousand years later. In this era of dazzling Soul Tools, hidden weapons were like fireflies compared to the moon. After nearly a thousand years of suppression by the Tang Sect's main lineage, three of the four major single-attribute families had perished, and even the once-powerful Po Clan, possessing the top-tier Soul-Breaking Spear, was on the verge of disappearing from the annals of history. Was joining the Tang Sect ten thousand years ago the right or wrong decision? To prevent her child from following in her footsteps, Wu Xuan's mother resolutely left the Tang Sect. Thus, a new chapter began in the history of the Douluo Continent. An era of zero tolerance for evil had begun! Evil Soul Master: What's wrong with being an Evil Soul Master? Should we Evil Soul Masters all die? Wu Xuan: Nonsense! If you don't die, am I the one who dies? Once you're an Evil Soul Master, you'll be an Evil Soul Master for life!! You dare to suck people's blood today, you dare to eat people tomorrow!! I'm too lazy to reason with you, you don't deserve to listen!! Today is your last day to breathe freely!! You can beg me, but I won't let you go!! Xiao Xiao: Wu Xuan, what does this book mean by humility? Wu Xuan: Humility...............

Nagini — The Time-Crossing Warrior Classic silat meets modern technology. With the Time-Shattering Stone, Nagini leaps from the past into modern-day Jakarta. Here, she must face street gangs, mafia bosses, corrupt police, and advanced weapons: combat drones, computers, and CCTV surveillance. Can her poisoned needles stand against bullets? Can her inner power withstand a hail of gunfire? And… can her warrior’s instinct outsmart the unblinking eyes of CCTV? Of course, everything is wrapped in Nagini’s signature absurdity. Three lumps on the head, cheeks swollen like wasp stings, lips puffed like a tilapia’s mouth—that’s just the beginning of her tale.—that’s just the beginning of her tale.

Will's got the worst cultivation talent on Earth. Literally trash-tier. When the world transforms into a cultivation nightmare, humanity discovers they can't cultivate naturally—they need bonds with beasts to access spiritual energy. Humans are the only race that can form these natural bonds, but Will? His talent makes it difficult, slow, and painful compared to everyone else. For twenty years, he grinds. Every day, every technique, every breakthrough that costs him more than it should. He climbs all the way to the top, helps rebuild civilization from the apocalypse, watches society claw its way back. Then the people he trusted most put a knife in his back. He dies. Then he wakes up 200 years in the future—the world he helped create. It's weird. There's coffee shops again. Actual culture. The cultivation world has rules now, structures, almost normal life mixed with the supernatural. Beast bonds are commonplace, regulated, understood. His new starting point? Still not great, but compared to surviving the apocalypse with nothing? He'll take it. Same garbage talent, but this time he's got twenty years of hard-earned knowledge and two centuries of scores to settle. **What to Expect:** This is slice-of-life cultivation with anime vibes. Weak-to-strong progression, watching Will figure things out, fail, adapt, and keep pushing forward. There's adult content that's present but not the focus—just part of exploring how people actually live in this world. No harem, no torture porn, just one guy's second shot at life, his bonds with beasts, and the bloody settling of old scores along the way. Nothing's guaranteed except Will's determination and the debt his betrayers still owe.

=== WSA 2025 - Silver Prize Winner === Discord: https://discord.gg/3q2GJdk27D ============================ Way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

Chang Le had long since accepted that this world did not operate on fairness. The Black Wind Mountain Range had just been reduced to rubble, sects were moving like wolves scenting blood, and beneath the calm surface of the cultivation world, undercurrents surged. Strength was everything. Without it, you were nothing more than drifting dust. And Chang Le? He could refine pills. That was the good news. The bad news was that every pill he refined carried a fatal edge. Inside the dim alchemy room, the furnace lid trembled as spiritual mist seeped through its seams. A rich, intoxicating fragrance spread outward—dense, pure, brimming with spiritual qi. Any cultivator would recognize it instantly: this was no ordinary elixir. Chang Le lifted the lid. Three pills lay quietly within, their surfaces glossy and faintly veined with crimson lines like living meridians. Spiritual light pulsed around them in steady waves. A Foundation Establishment cultivator standing nearby swallowed hard. His eyes burned with longing. “This… this aura…” His voice trembled. “It can really raise someone by two major realms?” Chang Le dusted off his sleeves, his white robe unruffled, expression calm. “It can,” he replied evenly. “Take it, and within a single incense stick’s time, your cultivation will soar—Foundation Establishment to Core Formation. Core Formation to Nascent Soul. No bottlenecks. No tribulation.” The man’s breathing grew ragged. “There’s no trick?” “There is,” Chang Le said. Silence fell. He picked up one pill between his fingers. Spiritual qi surged violently within it, as if barely restrained. “There’s a tiny side effect.” “How tiny?” “It may explode your meridians, shatter your dantian, and leave you dead before the spiritual qi even settles.” The cultivator’s face went pale. “Then how is that different from suicide?” Chang Le looked at him, gaze steady and almost pitying. “You think cultivating step by step will let you reach Nascent Soul?” His tone was mild, but every word struck like a hammer. “In this world, without opportunity, you’ll die nameless before you ever glimpse the peak.” Outside, the wind howled across broken mountains. Chang Le closed his fingers around the pill. “Life and death are separated by a single thought. If you survive, you ascend. If you fail…” He gave a faint smile. “Then it simply means your fate was insufficient.” In this cultivation world, survival had never been guaranteed. But neither had mediocrity.

After finishing an otome game-themed novel, a man was pulled into its world by a message left on the final page. Upon arrival, he was enslaved, then assigned as a servant to the female antagonist—the very character he had despised while reading. What awaited him next was uncertain. Death, prolonged suffering, or something else entirely.

I was on my way home with my friend when suddenly, I spotted a beautiful catgirl cosplayer with white hair. But something felt off. I couldn’t recall seeing her in any anime, manga, or games I had ever come across. Confused, I asked my friend standing next to me. To my shock, my friend’s response sent chills down my spine: "Huh? What catgirl? What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward the girl. Without thinking, I rushed to save her. In the end, both of us were hit by the truck. Now, I finds myself reincarnated in another world, in the body of the very catgirl I had seen. But... who is this girl? How is she related to the dungeons that keep popping up in the new world? Read to find out. ------------------- It's really fun, with a lot of catgirls cute moments that let you explore what it's like to become a catgirl. (Like, what do they eat? Do they hate bath? Does their tongues have spike? Can they survive falling from high above?) There's a lot of sweet romance development and of course, some spicy chapters. But on the other hand, there will also be some intense action and dark moments as the story progresses. MC will be very confused emotionally and can be a bit annoying at first since she has to adapt to the catgirl genetics. Don't expect smut chappies right away because there has to be at least some relationship development. Slice of life slow start, slow burn, a lot of action later on.

Thirteen-year-old Aarav wakes up one ordinary morning with memories that should not exist—memories of a past life where he binge-read a brutally realistic Indian spy web novel. The problem? That novel is no longer fiction. It is his current world. Aarav realizes his father is a covert intelligence officer destined to be pulled into a disastrous counter-terror operation. His mother, slowly crushed by stress and silence, will emotionally drift away. Innocent civilians will die. A political conspiracy will spiral out of control. And in the original story, Aarav himself was nothing more than a forgotten background character—a child who survived, but was broken beyond repair. Now armed with knowledge of the future but trapped in the weakest possible position—a middle-class schoolboy no one listens to—Aarav must alter events without revealing that he knows the script. Every small interference risks creating unpredictable consequences far worse than the original tragedy. There is no system to guide him. No powers to rely on. Only intelligence, restraint, and the burden of knowing too much. This is not a rebirth story. It is a psychological thriller about fate, choice, and the terrifying cost of changing a story that was never meant to be rewritten. If the world is already written— Aarav decides to become the editor.
