In his past life, Victor VonHoff was just another reader obsessed with the dark fantasy novel Shadows of Dominion—until a freak accident fused that world with his reality. Now reborn as the story's doomed villain, an 18-year-old duke's heir with silver hair, a scarred cheek, and the rare VonHoff shadow affinity, Victor awakens with perfect foreknowledge of every plot twist, betrayal, and conquest. But this time, the villain refuses to die at the hands of the destined hero. Armed with mind-bending shadow suggestions that turn doubt into craving and loyalty into desperate surrender, Victor enrolls in the elite Imperial Military Academy. There, he begins rewriting fate: claiming the women meant for the protagonist, bending minds and bodies to his will, and building a private empire of devotion in his luxurious off-campus villa. Starting with his utterly loyal silver-haired maid Agnes—bound, blindfolded, dripping with need—Victor's dominance knows no limits. Explicit, unapologetic possession unfolds in every shadowed corner: teasing nectar-slick fingers deep in obedient throats, relentless claiming in moving carriages, rope-bound ecstasy that leaves subs trembling and marked as his. As the academy's sorting ceremony ends and classes begin, Victor maps weaknesses, forges alliances in House Shadow, and targets the heroines who should have belonged to the "chosen one." The hero Aiden approaches, oblivious—yet every step draws him closer to realizing the shadows have a new master. This is no redemption arc. This is conquest. Domination. A villain's harem forged in darkness and desire. ***** Support me and Stay Ahead with Patreon -> https://www.patreon.com/Alaric_Lock ***** Mature Content Warning / Disclaimer: This novel contains explicit adult themes (R-18+ / 18+ only).

The universe is heading towards its demise, and this is the final age. Despite the greatest efforts of the Immortals ruling the universe, the Tree of Destruction had finally borne its forbidden fruit, triggering a Cataclysm that changed the order of power in all realms of existence. Every realm has fallen, and every star has gone dark, but at the center of creation, Trion, the seat of the gods and daemons, remains. Their immortal powers hold what remains of the last flames of life. Weakened by the weight of this sacrifice, the gods and daemons fell, taken down by mere mortals who had worshipped them since the beginning of time, and now these mortals have inhabited their Heavens and ruled over their Hells. They now patrol the skies and roam the deep, wearing the flesh and bones of the gods and daemons they had slain. With the end of days drawing nearer, an unlikely figure would arise from the chaos, one that would doom all of existence, or save it. This is the story of Elias, a killer. At the end of days, we do not need a hero, but a butcher. Join the Discord Channel, the Prime Collective: https://discord.gg/fCe5ueCG

And it is watching to see what he becomes. 2 chapters daily!!

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique blend to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?

A bench warmer rotting away in Indonesia's second-tier league, he spent eleven years drifting from club to club, bench to bench, chasing a dream that had long stopped chasing him back.

Riven Kain was eleven when he watched the Covenant slaughter his family under a blood moon—his father tortured, his mother reaching for his six-year-old sister Lyra as a blade opened her throat. He hid like a coward. Twenty years later, he's returned as Eclipse, a void-corrupted assassin with six months to live and a list of names burned into memory. The Obsidian Citadel thinks it's untouchable. The Ten Pillars think they're gods. But Riven doesn't want their empire—he wants to burn it to ash. With the help of like minded people destroyed by the Citadel and Sylus, an elven information broker who starts to see Riven more than just allies,more than friends and feels emotions she never thought she had, Riven wages a one-man war against a syndicate built on children's screams. Every kill brings him closer to the Pillars. Every kill costs him more humanity. And as the void corruption eats him alive and the Covenant's best hunters close in, Riven faces an impossible question: how much of yourself can you trade for vengeance before there's nothing left worth saving?

Oren falls into a foreign land after surviving something that should have erased him entirely. Whatever he once was, whatever power or purpose he held, is gone.

The world is a machine. Every desire can be granted, and all it asks in return is an offering great enough to pay the price. Like a dealer at an endless table, the world always wins in the end. Set in a medieval realm of cultivation, this tale explores a place where any wish can be made real—so long as the sacrifice is high enough. The story draws clear inspiration from Reverend Insanity, echoing its themes in every shadowed corner.

In the Verlaris Empire, the strength of an emperor is not measured by his own power alone, but by the might of his harem. Li Wei was never meant to rule. Born of a concubine and deemed unworthy by his royal siblings, he was cast aside and erased from succession long before the question of inheritance was ever raised. Exiled from court, Li Wei spent his days training in secret, far from politics, far from ambition, wanting nothing more than a quiet life beyond the palace walls. Then, on the night of imperial succession, the palace fell into chaos. The crown prince was assassinated. Noble factions turned on one another. Generals prepared for war as the empire teetered on the brink of collapse. With no suitable heir remaining, the dying emperor made a final, impossible decree. Li Wei, the discarded prince, would ascend the throne. The court scoffed. The nobles sneered. Concubines whispered behind silk curtains. An emperor with no backing, no faction and worst of all, no harem was nothing more than a temporary ruler. A placeholder awaiting his fall. They believed he wouldn’t last a month but they were wrong. For this is just the beginning of the rise of the Eternal Emperor.

THE SLAYER ASCENSION In a world where saints are worshipped and demons are hunted, power decides who is holy… and who is damned. I am both. A contradiction. A human blessed by divinity… yet bound to a demon that never sleeps and craves blood. Hunted by demons. Feared by the saints. Watched by beings far older than gods. There is only one way forward… Ascension through slaughter. Every demon I kill drags me further from humanity. Every miracle I wield pushes me closer to damnation. The devil believes he doesn’t feel fear. I will make him prove himself wrong. This is no hero’s story. No one survives untouched. Because this is… THE SLAYER ASCENSION

A young man is pulled from his world and reborn in another, already locked in war. Twelve realms are fighting for dominance, and he enters the world with no power, no protection, and no choice. His family never treats him like a son. He is beaten, used, and treated like property every day. War becomes his way out. Thrown onto battlefields as disposable flesh, almost dies, and then he gains a nano system in his body. With the help of the nano system, he gets stronger. He does not seek justice. He seeks results. His goal is simple: survive the war, claim power, return what was taken from him, and destroy the woman who betrayed him. If ruling the twelve realms is what it takes to make that happen, then that is exactly what he will do.
