In a World of Beast Tamers, I Awaken the Dead

Rifts shattered the world, unleashing monsters that drove humanity to the edge of extinction. Survival came only through awakened talents—and among them, Beast Talents rose above all others, granting power, authority, and control over the new world. Beast Tamers became the pillars of civilization, commanding living companions, conquering dungeons, and shaping empires. At the Awakening Center of Red Leaf City, prodigies emerge one after another—rare talents, high ranks, and promising futures. Then Kael awakens. The crystal turns black. The system hesitates. F-Rank Talent: [Grave Compatibility] Dismissed as weak and defective, Kael is labeled a failure in a world that worships living beasts. Even he believes it is nothing more than terrible luck. What Kael doesn’t know is that his talent should not exist. While Beast Tamers command the living, Kael awakens the power to command the dead—necromancy, resurrection, and corpse evolution in a system fundamentally designed to reject it. His talent is not ranked low because it is weak, but because it is incompatible with the world itself. As dungeons deepen, factions clash, and hidden truths about the awakening system begin to surface, Kael’s power grows—from solitary undead to evolving legions, from ignored outcast to an existence that terrifies nations. They call him F-rank. But in a world built on flawed rules, the most dangerous power is not the strongest one— It is the one the system was never meant to contain.

The Dragon's Heart: Unspoken Passion

To the world, Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn is a bride of duty. To her heart, she is a woman desperately chasing the love of the husband who will not look her way. All she ever wanted was for him to care; for him to turn his gaze toward her with the same fervor she carried in her heart. No matter how many times he pushed her away, no matter how cold the silence between them became, she never gave up. Not once did she allow herself to see him as someone unworthy of her love. To her, he was always worth it. And when love at last took root, when it bloomed against every storm that tried to tear them apart; when two hearts finally found each other and dared to beat as one… fate, as cruel and merciless as it is, reminded them that there were forces even love could never conquer. --EXCERPT-- Levan pressed his lips to her temple, his lips trembling as though the kiss itself might shatter him. One hand cradled her face with the kind of gentleness he had never shown anyone, while the other threaded weakly through her hair, trying futilely to soothe the sobs wracking his wife's body. His breath break unevenly, his eyes were shut tight, as if by closing them he could pretend this moment would never come. As if the world might let them stay this way forever. As if the reality of it all could be discarded just so that they could live however they wanted. He let his mouth fall against her cheek and linger there, tasting the salt of her tears as though they were his own. He did not move for a long while… because if this sorrow was the final piece of her he was allowed to carry, he wanted to etch it into his very soul. He wanted to remember the way she shook in his arms. He wanted to remember the sound of her muffled cries. He wanted to remember the warmth of her skin pressed so desperately against him. He wanted to remember her as his wife; his beloved. "Live, my love," he whispered, his voice raw and breaking, the words choking out of him like a prayer he could barely force past his throat. He buried his face against her hair so she would not see the tears spilling freely down his cheeks. "Even if it's far from me… live." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • slow-paced *very* • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • fantasy] >> Here if you like SLOW BURN angsty romance. >> Main conflict starts wayyy later. >> Word count per chapter: 1.5k ~ 2.3k

SSS Ranked Talent: I Can Upgrade My Skills Infinitely

He was a desperate survivor in a world devoured by monsters and gods, only to be granted a second chance. Reborn two years in the past, Alvian awakens moments before the launch of the hyper-realistic VR game "gods domain." He knows the horrifying truth: this is no game. In one year, the Convergence will merge worlds, and humanity will be the prey. During character creation, he makes a gamble that defies all logic. He abandons all pre-set classes for the custom class: "SkillBurst"...no starting skills, no stat bonuses...a path to failure for anyone else. As the system processes his suicidal choice, a new alert flashes before his eyes: [The System, recognizing this extreme handicap, has granted a compensatory reward!] [Ding! You have acquired the Sole SSS-Rank Talent: Super Upgrade System!] Instantly, the rules of the game are shattered. His path is no longer one of desperation, but of absolute domination. ———————— [You have learned the Legendary skill (Shadow Weave)!] [Super Upgrade System Activated! The skill has bypassed its limits!] [Congratulations on acquiring [Shadow Weave +2], granting damage immunity and near-perfect uptime!] While other players grind starter mobs, Alvian becomes an invisible phantom, assassinating a high-level exam boss before anyone can even react. While the academy’s elite follow the rules, Alvian exploits his future knowledge to gain legendary skills and world-first achievements. [You have learned the flawed AOE spell (Frost Descent), noted as un-upgradable with a high chance of self-injury.] [Super Upgrade System Activated!] [Congratulations! The self-harm drawback has been REMOVED! The spell now deals catastrophic damage and applies a powerful slowing debuff!] Armed with a talent that breaks the very concept of limits, Alvian’s rise is unstoppable. Dismissed as a cheater by the academy’s top prodigy? He leaves her in the dust, turning her rivalry into conflicted awe and eventually, hard-earned respect. Faced with an unkillable Apostle of a Calamity Demon? He achieves a World-First kill that puts his name on the global stage and reveals a terrifying truth: the apocalypse is coming faster than he ever predicted. Considered a classless anomaly? He conquers the Overlords Academy Championship, forges a legendary weapon, and uncovers a conspiracy that threatens to tear humanity's last bastion apart from the inside. But Alvian’s greatest power isn’t just his talent—it's the knowledge of the horrors to come. He will infiltrate doomsday cults, battle corrupted leaders, and stand against a newly awakened Demon God. Follow Alvian's journey from a traumatized survivor to a world-breaking anomaly. With the Convergence accelerating and humanity's last bastion falling from the sky, will his one-of-a-kind talent be enough to avert the end of the world, or will this second chance be his last?

Born as a mere stable boy in a lower-class noble household, Bel has lived his life tending to the noble gardens, pruning roses for banquets he would never attend.

Bound to My Dragon Boss

“Your pussy is weeping for me, Amara... It’s making a mess of my rug. Be a good girl and let me lick you clean before I stretch you open.” “I… I didn’t mean to... aakkkhhh..." Darien’s hand snakes under her skirt, his fingers finding her center, already soaked and swollen for him. He circles the sensitive heat of her clit with a cruel, possessive smirk tugging at his lips as she whimpers. “You don’t call me 'Sir' when you’re this wet for me. Say my name.” His free hand lunged for her, his large palm engulfing her breast through her blouse. He squeezed it with a brutal, possessive strength, his thumb and forefinger finding her nipple and rolling it with agonizing pressure until she was sobbing his name. "God, yes... I'm a mess because of you, Darien!" she gasped, arching her back until her breasts pressed against his suit. “I’m so fucking wet I’m soaking your hand. Now stop teasing me and give me what this bond is screaming for.” He leans in, his golden eyes glowing with a beast's hunger, his voice dropping to a vibration against her ear. “See? Your walls are twitching for me, aren't they? They’re hungry for my cock.” He pulls his hand back, his fingers dripping with her sweet juices. His gaze never leaves hers as he brings them to his mouth, his tongue swiping across his skin with a slow, agonizingly sensual lick. “Sweet,” he growls, tasting her surrender. “And I’m going to devour every last drop of you.” *** Amara Hayes thought she was just another cleaning lady at Ispire Inc., until one awkward, clumsy night completely flipped her life upside down. It was supposed to be just another boring shift. Clean the office. Mop the floors. Avoid the insanely hot, terrifyingly gorgeous boss. Instead, she tripped, fell… and accidentally kissed him. She figured she’d be getting a termination letter, not a pair of horns, scales, and wings?! Her “strict but ridiculously hot” boss, Darien Dravik? Turns out he’s not just some kind of billionaire. He’s a beastmen from dragon race, and apparently, she’s his mate. Now, Amara’s stuck in a bond with a guy who growls when other men look at her and calls her “mine” like it’s his favorite hobby. Darien might be one of the most powerful and wanted men in the city, but under that expensive suit, there’s a dragon who’s totally lost control around her. And if she tries to walk away? Well… it could cost her a lot more than just her job. It could cost her life. In a world where peace between humans and beastmen is a fragile illusion, their bond could set everything on fire. But Darien? He swears he’ll protect her, even if it means burning the whole world down.

Blood And Ember: the eternal flames and fangs

In a city ruled by shadows and secrets, monsters walk freely—disguised as humans, bound by ancient laws no one dares to break. Eliana is an orphan with no past and no family, working long nights at a powerful law firm that defends people who never seem entirely human. She believes her strange instincts, her unnatural heat, and the fire that answers her emotions are flaws she must hide. She has no idea they are the legacy of an ancient dragon tribe thought long extinct. Asher is vampire nobility—cold, controlled, and centuries old—born into one of the ruling bloodlines that governs the supernatural world from the shadows. Raised to obey tradition and preserve balance at any cost, he has never questioned the laws that forbid vampires from crossing blood with dragons… until the night he meets Eliana. Their connection is immediate. Dangerous. Impossible. As hidden wars stir beneath the city and long-buried treaties begin to fracture, Eliana becomes the center of a conflict she never knew existed. The law firm she works for is no coincidence. Her past was never lost—it was erased. Loving Asher could ignite a war that would destroy them both. But walking away might be even deadlier. In a world where blood commands power and fire answers only to truth, Blood & Ember is a modern dark fantasy romance about forbidden desire, ancient bloodlines, and the choice between destiny and the one person who makes eternity worth risking.
