The Slipgate: A Portal Diner, Monsters, Harems & Special Forces Marine

[Special Forces Cook] + [Monster Girls] + [Base Building] Marcus thought he left the war behind when he hung up his rifle and picked up a spatula. All he wanted was to run a quiet roadside diner, grill the perfect burger, and forget the things he did in the service. But the front door of his diner doesn't open to the parking lot anymore. It opens to Everywhere. Now, Marcus runs the only neutral ground between warring dimensions. His regulars aren't truckers—they are Elven fugitives, Orc mercenaries, and arcane royalty. They come for the coffee, but they stay for the absolute sanctuary. The House Rules are simple: Pay your tab in gold or blood. No fighting inside. Break the rules, and you answer to the Chef. But keeping the peace is hard when the war follows you home. It’s even harder when "Sanctuary" comes with complications. Marcus finds himself caught between Eira, who holds a magical "Skybond" claim on his soul, and Pearl, who has staked her claim on his body. And they aren't the only ones trying to enter the kitchen. What to Expect: Ex-Military OP Protagonist: Marcus is ruthless, competent, and lethal. Kingdom Building: Upgrading the diner, managing resources, and expanding the territory. Harem with Conflict: Multiple love interests with complex claims (Skybonds vs. Consummation). R-18 / Mature: Heavy violence and adult themes. NO SYSTEM: Real skills, real grit, realistic management. No blue screens. WARNING: No one 17 and under admitted.

Alpha's Sacrificial Human Bride

Princess Liora Ashenbane has always been invisible—the forgotten middle child of Valeria's royal family, overlooked and underestimated. Her quiet life shatters when she wakes up in a golden cage, eight hundred miles from home, with no memory of how she got there. She's been sold. Drugged by her own family and delivered to Alpha King Thessian Nightfang as part of a treaty between humans and werewolves. But this is no political marriage—it's a death sentence. Three months ago, Thessian's mate and Luna, Aria, was murdered in a brutal attack on a werewolf settlement. Fifty-three of his people were slaughtered, including women and children. Security footage shows the massacre was led by someone with Liora's face. Her own father provided the evidence and signed her over as payment for the crime. Thessian doesn't want a bride. He wants vengeance. And he has three weeks until the full moon to break her, torture her, and make her pay for every drop of blood spilled. But Liora knows the truth—she's innocent. She's never left the palace, never held a weapon, never killed anyone. Someone with her face committed those murders, and she has three weeks to prove it before Thessian rips her throat out. Trapped in enemy territory with no allies, no power, and a pack of werewolves who want her dead, Liora must transform from a sheltered princess into a survivor. She must uncover who really killed Aria Nightfang, expose the conspiracy that framed her, and somehow convince the Alpha King who hates her that she's not his enemy. But as she fights for her life and digs deeper into the truth, Liora discovers that the attack on Thessian's pack is part of something far more sinister—a plot that threatens both humans and werewolves alike. And the only person who can help her stop it is the same man who's sworn to kill her. In a world where trust is a luxury and every moment could be her last, Liora must find strength she never knew she had. Because survival isn't enough—she needs to uncover the truth, clear her name, and maybe, just maybe, heal the broken heart of the Alpha King who sees her as his enemy. But first, she has to survive the torture. The pain. The hatred. And three weeks of hell in a golden cage. Weak to strong. Enemies to lovers. A princess who must become a warrior. An Alpha King consumed by grief and rage. And a truth that could destroy them both—or save two worlds from war.

Deep within the forest, hidden behind thick vines and ancient trees, resides a being of unimaginable beauty and power—a goddess whose very presence bends the world around her. With flowing hair like the sea, skin as white as snow, and eyes that hold the depth of buried treasures, she appears both innocent and divine.
