CONTRACT MARRIAGE GONE WRONG

WARNING- 18+ CONTAINS EXPLICIT SEXUAL ELEMENTS TRAUMA AND TORTURE *************************************************************************************************** Ophelia Blackwood lived her life doing everything she could to be loved. First by her parents and three elder siblings, then by her best friend, and finally by her lover. She sacrificed everything just to be valued by Vincent Dimitri, the son of one of the most dangerous mafia families in Russia, and her childhood best friend, Elosia Jonas. They were her chosen family. Yet her loyalty was repaid with betrayal. After destroying Vincent’s greatest enemy and crowning him the King of the Underworld, Ophelia was killed—by Vincent himself. Elosia hung from Vincent’s half-naked body with a smirk as Ophelia lay in a pool of her own blood. “Thank you for giving me and Vincent such an amazing wedding gift, best friend.” Only in her final breath did Ophelia realize the cruel truth—this was the world of a novel, and she was dying the death of the villainess who killed the male and female leads for love. Ophelia laughed bitterly at her fate. In pain. In misery. Realizing that being unloved and betrayed was always destined for her. But when she woke up again—twenty years old, five years before the story began—she made a different choice. This time, she wouldn’t fight for love. She would fight for revenge. Ophelia proposed a contract marriage to the man she once ruined with her own hands—her former enemy, the heir to the most powerful family on the continent, Kayros Natheniel. “I have two conditions,” Kayros said calmly. “I’ll accept whatever,” Ophelia replied coldly. “First—you don’t meddle in my business. Second—I decide when this marriage ends. of course not before three years even if you beg me to.” But fate had another plan. Her 3rd life ended with her dying and becoming the reason behind the death of Kayros. Yet when she wakes up again, she only remembers herself as Odette Elizabeth, the lawyer who once shook the supreme court. However, Kayros remembers the life she didn't. Making them stand at the fork road of life and fate where they have to navigate the world of mafias, threats from military, betrayal from closest and an unconventional pull between them. " You don't love me." She whispers. " no... but I just can't fuxking stop wanting you like a fool." He mummers against her lips.

First Intergalactic Emperor: Starting With The Ancient Goddess

WARNING- Contains Mature Themes and Contents! Xavier was a poor, bullied loser who got beaten for fun, ignored like trash, and laughed at like he wasn’t even human. Living at the bottom of society. No power, no money, no future. That changed the day a ancient goddess responded to his prayers and made him a God. Now armed with the Unlimited Money System, Xavier can buy anything. His balance is infinite. Money rains when he speaks. He can buy power, respect, empires, cities, loyalty, fear—anything. If it exists, he can afford it. To unlock his true power as a God, Xavier must gather the fragments of the fallen goddess—each one hidden across galaxies, buried in ancient vaults, or locked behind wars, politics, and secrets. Every piece brings him closer to rewriting reality itself. He could absorb the powers hidden inside beautiful women, each more dangerous—and alluring—than the last. From humiliating the rich elite to breaking into galactic vaults, from building a harem of deadly wives to rewriting the rules of interstellar war… Xavier’s path to legend has no brakes. Follow Xavier as he rises from nothing, and becomes not only the richest man in the universe—but also the most feared. *_+_+_+_* Note- This is a harem novel, but the focus is on Xavier’s revenge and rise—not just the girls. Romance happens naturally. No rape, no ntr, no yuri. The system won't be giving quest like fuck this girl and fuck that girl. But if Xavier wants to seduce a girl he likes, the system will help him by giving relevant quests. This is a sci-fi novel and there is mention and presence of gods and all, but they are already classified as highly intelligent extraterrestrial beings. I have also included fantasy races like vampires, dragons, werewolves, elves, etc. as a species of space. I won't be spoiling more than that. I just wanted you guys to know what you were getting into before you read this novel, and what to expect from it. If you’re here for a ruthless anti-hero—he arrives after Chapter 16. Xavier starts naive and kind, shaped by a peaceful village life. But once the world shows its true face… he changes.

Why Don't They Eat Him

The world didn’t end in fire or war—it ended in awakening. After a sudden apocalypse, humanity retreats into massive rescue camps built from the ruins of cities. As strange creatures known as mushroom heads roam the outside world, people begin awakening supernatural abilities. Power becomes both humanity’s greatest weapon—and its greatest threat. The monsters don’t bite. They don’t infect. They eat. Everything. The mushroom heads aren’t your typical zombies. They don’t hunt humans—they erase the world itself. Crops, animals, resources… nothing survives their hunger. Humanity isn’t being overrun. It’s being starved into extinction. Amitesh is a quiet survivor with a dangerous secret. For reasons he doesn’t understand, the mushroom heads—creatures that consume everything—do not attack him. If anyone discovers this, he won’t be seen as human anymore. He’ll be studied. Controlled. Or erased. After reuniting with an old friend, Amitesh is forced to return to civilization. What he finds is a fragile society ruled by the military, monitored by scientists, and held together by fear. Teenagers with awakened powers are tightly controlled, and the difference between protector and prisoner grows thinner every day. To make matters worse, his friend possesses a mysterious system that never shuts up—constantly analyzing, warning, and revealing truths Amitesh may not want to know. Amitesh doesn’t want to save the world. He doesn’t want to kill every mushroom head on Earth. He just wants to survive, stay hidden, and figure out why the end of the world refuses to eat him. But in a world where even thoughts can be hunted, staying human might be the hardest fight of all. But no one knows what the big story is wating for Amitesh. A story of human who will destroy all gaxily.

SPACE LORD ARMADA

At 21 years old, Daniel Storm was not chosen because he was brave. He was chosen because he was stubborn about production ratios. A strategist. A systems thinker. A developer who believed wars were not won by heroes — but by logistics, infrastructure, and who ran out of resources first. After winning his own galactic simulation project — Space L.O.R.D. (Logistics, Operations, Research, and Dominion) — Daniel passed out at his desk. When he opened his eyes, he wasn’t in his room. He was in front of a Supreme Being made of galaxies. Apparently, optimizing fleet efficiency at 3 a.m. is considered “cosmic talent.” Instead of granting him instant power or a legendary bloodline, the Being inserts Daniel into a sealed, invisible star system — a closed domain filled with ancient scrap, ruined warships, and dormant technology. No army. No empire. No cheat code. Just trash. And his project — now integrated into reality. With access to: • Production Ascension • Controlled Summon Authority • Multiplicative Scaling • Adaptive Technology Evolution • A personal AI assistant named Snow (who may or may not judge his decisions constantly) • And a unique personal skill: Adversity Engine — the greater the pressure, the faster he evolves. But outside his hidden domain, the galaxy is far from peaceful. Four major galactic superpowers dominate the stars. Corporate trade coalitions manipulate economies. Hive civilizations consume entire systems. Ancient alchemist unions hoard forbidden technologies. Pirate clans rule the hyperlanes. Political tensions simmer toward inevitable war. One day, Daniel Storm will have to face them. And when that day comes— He won’t rely on hero speeches. He’ll rely on production capacity. Because while the galaxy fights loudly… Daniel grows quietly. And nothing is more dangerous than a junkyard managed by a strategist with unlimited patience.

Young Master System: My Mother Is the Matriarch

Li Wei lived a dull, overworked life—until destiny (or a rogue truck) intervened, catapulting him into a world of mystical cultivators and deadly power struggles. Waking up in the body of Li Wei, the infamous and lazy heir of the Immortal Ice Sect, he finds himself in a precarious position: surrounded by enemies, burdened by a reputation for arrogance, and targeted for assassination. The only thing worse than inheriting this life? Realizing his new body’s cultivation potential is off the charts... if only the previous owner hadn’t been an idle narcissist. With the sect matriarch as his coldly disappointed mother, a stoic yet dangerously competent protector in the ice-cold beauty Leng Yue, and a mysterious "Young Master System" pushing him toward reckless behavior, Li Wei must balance survival with ambition. Every quest forces him to embrace the absurdities of an over-the-top cultivation world—whether humiliating enemies or accumulating riches—while concealing his true identity as a transmigrator. But as he’s exiled from the safety of his sect and thrown into the chaotic world below, Li Wei quickly learns that charisma, cunning, and a knack for manipulation might be even deadlier than swordsmanship. After all, why fight fair when you can command, deceive, and dominate? With ancient relics, feuding clans, and dangerous beauties complicating his journey, Li Wei's rise through the cultivation ranks is anything but conventional. What starts as a quest for survival may just become a path to unstoppable power... assuming his outrageous system quests don’t get him killed first. Will Li Wei overcome his past’s shameful legacy, outsmart his enemies, and become the true master of his destiny—or will his laziness, scheming rivals, and shameless arrogance bring him to ruin? ------------ Discord: https://discord.gg/U29paHWKEN
