HEART OF THE DRAGON KING

Elara Ashford, 23, has been living a lie her entire life. She was brought up as Princess of Veridia, wearing silk and jewels, and she believes she has royal blood in her veins. However, when a marriage alliance insists that she marry the dreaded Dragon King of the North in order to stop war, her adopted family reveals the terrible truth: she was born with the real princess. She is merely the daughter of a commoner, a stand-in for the legitimate heir who was concealed for her "protection." Elara is now being sent to her death with a single, unachievable task: either make the monster fall in love with her or her real family, the commoners who abandoned her, will be put to death for treason. The Northern Kingdom is a real-life nightmare. Towers of obsidian are circled by dragons. In courtyards, Fae warriors hone their blades. In dimly lit hallways, witches murmur. And in charge of it all is Kael Draven, the ancient and deadly Dragon King, whose touch burns like dragonfire, whose amber eyes see through every lie, and whose court keeps a watchful eye on the frail human bride like wolves circling wounded prey. Elara anticipated a monster. She discovers a king who is plagued by centuries-old curses, haunted by betrayal, and frantically searching for his fated mate, whom he believes will break the curse that is slowly killing his people. He believes that *she* is a bond. She's not his mate, though. Wearing a stolen crown, she is a fraud. Elara learns that people have been lying about the North for generations as she makes her way through assassination attempts, lethal court politics, and a developing fascination with the dragon who could burn her with a single breath. Humans have betrayed the "monsters." And centuries ago, a human princess betrayed Kael himself, bringing a curse upon his entire kingdom. Elara's world falls apart when the real Princess Seraphine is found—beautiful, gifted with magic, and Kael's *actual* fated mate. Kael and Seraphine's mate bond is unquestionably ancient and ignites instantly. Elara ought to move aside. Let fate do its thing. However, Seraphine didn't have to spend months gaining the dragon warriors' trust. didn't put her life in danger to lift old curses. didn't fall in love with a monarch who taught her that monsters are created, not born. Elara is faced with an impossible decision after learning that Seraphine is a part of a plot to overthrow the Northern Kingdom from within and that the "true princess" is the real danger to the precarious peace: – Lose Kael to his true love and expose Seraphine. – Keep quiet and watch the kingdom she has come to love burn. – Fight for a love that wasn't supposed to be hers. Because bloodlines aren't always important to the heart. Sometimes love is forged in dragonfire rather than in the stars. Furthermore, the girl who wore a stolen crown, Elara Ashford, is set to demonstrate that fate isn't the most potent form of magic. It's a decision.

I Became a Kindergarten Teacher for Monster Babies!

She applied for a simple teaching job but she ended up raising a classroom full of supernatural toddlers and accidentally becoming the Demon Lord’s obsession. -`♡´- Struggling to pay rent and drowning in rejection emails, Alina Hart, 24, is desperate for a stable job. When she stumbles across a strange flyer offering a "live-in teaching position at a private academy," she signs the contract without reading the fine print. Big mistake. On her first day, she learns three things: 1...Her students are not human. 2...One breathes fire. Another howls at the moon. One floats through walls and another eats chalk like candy. 3...The school’s principal is Dante Nightshade, a seven-foot-tall Demon Lord with blood-red eyes and zero patience for mortals. And Alina? She just accidentally scolded the Demon Prince, Dante’s only son. Now, the students are clinging to her. The royal parents are demanding "private meetings." And the Demon Lord keeps appearing in her classroom with a gaze that’s far too intense for a casual visit. -`♡´- Alina: “Please stop throwing fireballs in the classroom!” Baby Dragon: “But Teacher! That’s how we play catch!” -`♡´- Alina: “Luna, you can’t bite people just because they sit next to me.” Luna (growling): “He was breathing near you. That’s MY air!” Alina: “…Please don’t make this a crime scene.” -`♡´- Sable (whispering from her shadow): “I bit the crayon... and it betrayed me.” Alina: “Sable… crayons are not food.” Sable: “…Then why are they so colorful?” -`♡´- Vlad Jr.: “Miss Alina, I have written my will.” Alina: “You’re four.” Vlad Jr.: “And yet, I have already loved and lost.” Alina: “…You lost a cookie.” •••• She wanted a quiet job with crayons and nap time.

Embers Beneath the Open Sky - A Chronicle of Flame and Storm

Egan has walked the world of Avaloria for over seven thousand years, carrying the ashes of a kingdom that was meant to fall by his hand. Forged from flame and spared a terrible destiny through a love that cost everything, he wanders Avaloria as a knight without a homeland—warm in laughter, ancient in sorrow, and burdened by power he dares not fully unleash. Sienna is a dragon bound in human form—his storm-sealed strength shackled by the mages of the Kingdom of Notus, a kingdom being reforged in chains, secrets, and stolen magic. Curious, proud, and unyielding, Sienna has endured captivity without surrendering his will. But endurance is not freedom. When Egan rescues Sienna from the slave market tightening its grip on Notus and daring to ensnare dragons across the continent, neither expects the bond that begins to form between them. Fire and storm were never meant to move in harmony—yet as they pursue the truth behind Notus’s insidious past and horrifying present, their connection deepens into something neither of them fully understands. But the stakes are greater than one dragon’s freedom. A decades-long conspiracy is nearing its endgame. Dragons are being enslaved. Elemental balances are shifting. And if Egan is forced to summon the Flame Spirit King once more, it might be all of Avaloria reduced to ash this time. As wind stirs, storms gather, and embers threaten to rise into an inferno, Egan and Sienna must decide what they are willing to risk: A kingdom. A continent. Or each other. Fire once destroyed a world. This time, it may be the only thing that can save it.

SSS Class Infinite Regression: Ascension of the Mad Dragon Prince

On a fateful night, William—an ordinary man from Earth—finished a ruined route in his favorite game, Sinners Academy: Love at the End of the World. The next moment, he was eaten alive by the game’s final boss herself, dragged screaming into her world, the world he had ruined. And when his eyes opened again, he was no longer William. He was reborn as Louis Drakeheart, the third-rate villain of that doomed game—grandson of the Dragon King, son of Earth's unparalleled scientist-Esper and a Holy Dragon Goddess, yet still the failure who never awakened his draconic blood. He was known as the Mad Prince, the abandoned heir. The laughingstock destined to die forgotten in the Dimensional Labyrinth. But fate had finally bled him a cruel gift. Death Loop. Every agonizing death sent him back in time with his memories intact and sanity fragmenting piece by piece. One death at a time, he clawed through impossible regressions, devouring knowledge, forging forbidden strength and shattering limits once thought impossible to overcome. No longer would nobles trample him. No longer would horrors beyond the Dimensional Boundary devour his kingdom. No longer would his mother's eternal slumber remain unbroken. Through rivers of his own blood and the crumbling edges of his mind, Louis Drakeheart shall rise again, and again, and again... Ruthless, unhinged, unstoppable. The world that spat on him will kneel... or burn. This is the chronicle of the Spiral of Madness: the ascent of the Heir of Ruin, the Bringer of the End.

TRANSMIGRATION: INTO AN APOCALYPSE WORLD WITH A SYSTEM

Luo Yan, a modern-world chef who only read the first chapter of an apocalypse novel, transmigrates into Day 0 right as the world-wide “sleep wave” ends. When people wake, the population splits brutally: about half become zombies, most of the rest are ordinary humans, and a smaller portion awaken elemental powers. Luo Yan awakens something far rarer: a Void element, and he’s secretly bound to a System that everyone else will mistake as a “storage-type ability.” The System lets him store and perfectly preserve supplies, assigns life-or-death tasks with rewards, and grants him a sealed trump card called God’s Whisper—one reality-bending sentence he can choose to speak, at the cost of falling unconscious for a full day. While the city’s local military establishes an emergency base, Luo Yan reaches it early and uses his limited plot knowledge to gain an edge: he recognizes that zombies drop evolution “core crystals,” and he starts collecting and rationing them before most people understand their value. There he collides with Lan Huan, a young general from a powerful capital military family. Lan Huan awakens a rare Storm-type power and, in the chaos of Day 0, forms a bond with a summoned eastern dragon named Longyang—a full-bodied battlefield dragon he can only keep manifested briefly at first, but which grows stronger and more independent as he upgrades. As Luo Yan and Lan Huan work together, only Lan Huan learns the truth about Luo Yan’s System, making their relationship intense and fast-burning rather than slow. They begin recruiting a registered squad of “selected few” survivors—ten core teammates (seven men, three women) with a mix of normal elements and dangerous weird abilities. The squad’s mythic identity forms around an eastern-dragon theme, eventually registering under a creature name tied to “Jade Thunder.” But survival isn’t just about zombies and disasters. Inside the base, a strict metal-element commander, Zhao Qingshan, clashes with Lan Huan’s command style before coming to respect him. The bigger threat shifts to the government side: bureaucracy, quotas, and “proper shelving” politics that decide who gets resources, who gets evacuated to the capital, and who is quietly labeled expendable. While the team grows stronger through leveling cores as zombies evolve, Luo Yan’s hidden powers—and the terrifying price of using God’s Whisper—force hard choices that can save everyone or break their unit. Later in the story, mpreg becomes part of the world’s post-awakening evolution: Luo Yan’s body changes after higher-level core breakthroughs, raising personal stakes inside a brutal apocalypse while the squad fights to carve out a future under storm, blood, and dragon.
