Maya Alvarez fought tooth and nail for her full-ride scholarship to St. Benedict’s University. The last thing the chemistry-major freshman needs is a distraction, especially one wearing a Thunderhawks jersey and a cocky grin. Jake Thompson is the golden-boy quarterback with NFL scouts on speed dial and a family name that opens every door. He’s used to getting what he wants… until his grades threaten to bench him for good. When Maya is assigned to tutor the campus king, sparks fly,and not the good kind. She sees privilege in him, while he sees judgment in her. But late-night study sessions in quiet dorm corners start blurring the lines between rivalry and something deeper. As Jake wrestles with the pressure to go pro early and Maya battles imposter syndrome in a world that feels miles from home, the real game begins off the field. One stolen kiss could change everything… or cost them both the futures they’ve fought for.

At midnight, 5th Avenue becomes something else. Behind shuttered storefronts and flickering streetlights, a hidden market opens—one that trades not in money, but in regret, time, love, and souls. The Ghost Market does not advertise. It calls. When a woman marked by loss stumbles into the market while searching for answers about her mother’s death, she meets a man who does not belong to the living—or the dead. He is bound to the market by an ancient debt, forced to collect what others refuse to give up. Their connection is immediate, dangerous, and forbidden. As desire grows, so does the cost. Because in the Ghost Market, love is the most valuable currency of all—and the one thing no one is allowed to keep. To choose each other, they must decide what part of themselves they are willing to lose… and whether love can survive when the past comes to collect.

"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist] discord.gg/ujeKWchgeb

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

A story about someone becoming a Taoist priest for their beloved one. Taoism is a traditional Chinese religion. Taoists externally communicate with the world through the primordial energy, and internally maintain their own stability through the Taoist spirit. Those with a firm Taoist spirit can resist the influence of evil thoughts and sorcery, and are not affected by the negative emotions of the Taoist path. "Doing nothing yet achieving everything", they do not forcibly interfere with nature, but can use the power of heaven and earth to resolve crises. Silas Reed was a Harvard botanist who believed in Latin names and greenhouse thermostats. Then his wife began to freeze alive. Modern medicine: Terminal. Ancient China: We have a cure. It costs your humanity. Now, he is forced to study Chinese Taoism in order to protect the people he loves. Time passes like the fruits on a tree. Blood can buy strength, but what remains unchanged is his love for his wife. He was never the chosen one. Just a husband who refused to clock out.

In the frozen world of Iskarra, hunter Nirvana only feels alive when she’s chasing a kill. But her city, Glacial, is dying. The population is collapsing, and in desperation, the elders have opened their gates to the Eirvaleans, a people kept at bay for centuries. The moment the outsiders arrive, the rot begins. First, the rite fails. Ice fractures where it should hold. Young initiates die without a visible cause. Ancient safeguards misfire, supplies spoil, and defenses weaken at critical moments. The Glacians blame the Eirvaleans, convinced it's sabotage. But Nirvana, along with her loyal but anxious friend Cai and her pragmatic sister Raisse, tracks a different trail: a corruption that preys on magic itself, spreading like a sickness no one remembers. As tensions rise, another threat stirs within the Eirvalean ranks, a vengeful outcast using the chaos to fuel a rebellion from the shadows. While the guards hunt for foreign spies and this hidden enemy fans the flames of fear, Nirvana’s hunt becomes a race against the dying light of her world. To save Iskarra, she must prove the real enemy isn't the newcomers—but a forgotten plague returning to finish what it started centuries ago.

In a modern world ruled by cruelty and secrets, a single system message appears before an ordinary boy. One mistaken choice leads him into the Tower of Infinite Worlds. Power comes with a price—and the legendary path is never merciful.

Synopsis :This is the story of a boy led by fate to a place he never would have dreamed of. When Ryan was just ten years old, his parents were killed right in front of him by the unexplainable—mysterious beings to be precise: a dark figure riding atop a gigantic beast. Ryan: “Right in front of me, my parents were killed.” Haunted by his past, Ryan begins a new life, unaware of what fate still has in store for him. At a new school, he meets three others—Ely, Iriel, and Alicia—companions bound to him by destiny. What begins as an ordinary day soon turns into chaos when they are suddenly transported to an unknown world called Marthadon—a land of destiny, not peace. Instead of harmony, they find destruction: gigantic, ruthless robots hunting them down, an unknown human-beast killing without mercy, and a war far greater than anything they could haveimagined. In trying to save a world, they unknowingly break the fragile chain of balance, throwing the dimensions into turbulence. Marthadon descends into chaos. Earth begins to suffer. The four are changed forever after being affected by Marthardonian DNA. Now no longer fully human, they must accept who they have become—half human, half Marthardonian—if they are to stop the approaching doom. The fate of Marthadon, and possibly all dimensions, rests in the hands of these four humans—the Elements of Fate. Few had we known that the boundless chains of fate had dragged us to where we were needed.They embraced destiny. They accepted who they were becoming. Iriel: “The path we chose is to fight, to protect, and to guard.” Alicia: “The dimensions—Marthadon will not fall. Not on our watch.” Ely: “From a painful past, we will create the happiest future. We choose to fight.” Ryan: “We believe that even the faintest light can evaporate the greatest darkness.”

But when he crosses paths with Lira, a girl unknowingly created to kill him, the Echo reacts violently breaking the barrier meant to forget and he remembers. Visions flood his mind.

Who decided that every main character must be kind-hearted, forgiving, and carved from cheap hope? Star Crestfold was never meant to be one of them. Born a prince of the kingdom of Throvarin, Star grew up surrounded by power he could never touch. In a world where Spirit Marks define worth, destiny, and survival, and where every child awakens to the control of a negative force: fear, agony, rage, or delusion. Everyone awakened. Except him. He bore no glow. No rank. No blessing. The systems that governed the world passed over Star as if he were never meant to exist. At first, people whispered. Then they laughed. Then they named him. The Hollow Prince. His father believed in power above all else. As a king, he demanded strength. As a Spirit Warrior, he worshipped it. And as a father… he looked away. What Star lacked became a stain on the bloodline, one that quietly spread to those who stood beside him. Endurance became Star’s only virtue. Until even endurance was no longer enough. Because when Throvarin fell... when calamity tore through the kingdom and old truths were shattered. Something answered Star at last. Not gently. Not cleanly. And definitely not in any way the world was prepared to accept. Now marked by something unnamed and unforgiven, Star walks a land where Spirit Warriors rise, Woes are born, and certain existences are better erased than understood. His presence disrupts balance. His emotions do not behave as they should. And when he loses control, even those who sense power cannot explain what they are witnessing. Hunted by the world that shaped him, Star walks a path with no salvation promised, only survival. He seeks revenge. He seeks justice. He fights Woes, and tames negative emotions... But more than anything… He seeks understanding. Not for the world but for himself. And the world will soon learn the truth it tried to bury: Some wounds do not heal. They evolve.
