A curse lives inside his body, leaving a mark that cannot be erased. Bound to an entity that refuses to leave, Sean becomes a vessel-half in control, half condemned. In a world where fate is cruel and escape is a lie, one truth remains: once the curse chooses you, there is no way back.

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job... What he didn't expect was the System deciding his online arguments counted as combat experience and dropping him into a magical apocalypse with Llewellyn himself! He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back. Luckily for him, Ryo has had to deal with his unhinged online following for years… and he is more than willing to get his hands dirty in person. ━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━ Content Note: The rating goes up as the story progresses!

[Warning: Mature Content] On the night of a blood moon, one would advise refraining from bleeding, for the blood that touches the light of the blood moon will evoke a celestial lunar being. Who is this celestial lunar being, you ask? Well, it is, of course, a goddess. The Moon Goddess. That night, the heavens and the earth are closest to each other; so close that a mere mortal could speak to a lord of the heavens and likewise. As such, if you bleed under the crimson moon, the moon goddess will descend to the earth, barefoot. Her steps are quiet, but her presence, just as overwhelming. The night dragonflies welcome her approach, singing songs and ballads of her greatness. When she finally stops before the bleeding mortal, she wonders, "Who dares to bleed on such an auspicious occasion?" Maybe she will pity you that you are dying. So, she will ask you for your one last wish. However, it is up to her if she should grant it or simply reject it, turning you into a vengeful ghost that knows no rest for eternity to come. That is the story Haneul has heard all his life. Yet, he lay there, his last breath almost giving up on him. The moon goddess was before him now. Then he wondered, wasn't this lunar being supposed to be a goddess? Why did she sound like a man? Ah, perhaps, it was a god, after all. So, he asked for his last wish. To undo the previous sins so he would suffer less when he was reborn, to prevent karma from repeating itself. Hold on...where is the part when a tree would branch out of his chest and let the color of the blossoms decide his fate? Haneul snapped open his eyes. What a strange dream it was... But, why did it feel so real? Who was that god? What is a crimson blossom? Why did he know this story that he had never heard before? Maybe.... he did. Maybe.... he's in his past life where he had sinned? Haneul wouldn't know because now, in this life... His name was Hwa Miye, the flower princess, hiding a dark secret under those luxurious garments.

A quiet wanderer with a love for fishing, books, and solitude. His dream is simple, enter the Imperial Palace’s Heavenly Library and uncover the truth behind the strange power in his veins.

His only chance lies in the kingdom’s grand tournament, where geniuses battle for a single wish and where a doe eyed young master keeps watching him, as if he recognizes something Jin Yue himself does not. Amid scheming nobles, hidden monsters, and a destiny written long before his birth, Jin Yue wants only to read… Yet fate insists he fights

This is a true story. This is the story of a girl who keeps walking, though she doesn’t know where she’s going—or even who she truly is. She walks barefoot on a floor of glass, fragile and beautiful, each step a new wound, each step a new burden. Inside her, a silent monster waits. It doesn’t scream, it doesn’t attack—yet it consumes her slowly, quietly, from within. She is free, yet trapped. She can speak, yet remains silent. Life gives her people—friends, siblings, love—but with each bond comes a curse: those she loves, she loses. Loneliness follows her, yet she refuses to accept it. She fears reality, but she survives it. This is a story not just of one girl, but of loss, love, hatred, pain, and brutality. Where blood-stained hands paint life and death onto the canvas of existence. Where love must be emptied from the heart to survive—or else living becomes not just difficult, but impossible.

Wutao learned early that survival was a matter of timing. Born into wealth but denied its protection, he grew up under a name meant to shame him—one chosen to remind him of what his family believed him to be. Filth. Silent, observant, and underestimated, Wutao perfected the art of disappearing in plain sight. Then Feng Lang enters his life. An heir to a mining empire who refuses to play the role expected of him. Disciplined, distant, and unyielding. He wakes one morning with no memory of the night before, only the imprint of a stranger’s touch and a face he cannot place.. Wutao remembers everything. The encounter was not an accident, nor was it meant to be remembered. But memory has a way of resurfacing As Feng Lang searches for answers, Wutao is forced into proximity with the one person who could unravel him. Each step closer risks exposure. Each moment of restraint threatens collapse. Because Wutao was never meant to be seen. And once he is, there may be no way to disappear again

After Wen Lan's (beta) death, Jiaquan(alpha) reflected back the past, Wen Lan had dropped multiple hints that if Jiaquan had just paid closer attention to then maybe this could've been prevented. He spent time, trying to give justice to Wen Lan just so that his soul could rest in peace.

Every seventh heir of the Tianyun Empire is destined to marry the Canglong— the sacred dragon race, guardians of the Heavenly Covenant. Li Yanqing, the seventh-born Crown Prince, chose to defy fate. He died for a forbidden love, leaving behind Shen Zhiyuan— the guard who had loved him since childhood. That night, one life sank into the sea, and one heart fell into darkness. From shattered love, Shen Zhiyuan was reborn as the Demon King. One suicide sparked reincarnation. One devotion gave birth to a legend. When the modern world brings them together once more, the vow of the seventh heir comes to claim the price that was never paid.

Over a hundred hopefuls step onto the same stage, each chasing the impossible dream of becoming an idol. Among them is Ren, a quiet trainee determined to shine despite the odds, and Alex, a beta who’s tired of being treated as invisible. As the survival show pushes them to their limits, rivalries and jealousy sparks, friendships deepen, and love begins to bloom where no one expected it. For Ren, it’s his passionate, hot-headed roommate Kai who won’t leave him alone. For Alex, it’s the gentle but stubborn Rei who sees him when no one else ever has. Under the blinding lights and fierce competition, four lives will intertwine. Dreams, secrets, and love—all tested on the idol stage that will change them forever.

In a post-apocalyptic world where men are Omegas, and women are Alphas… Crushed by a bus, Quinn should be dead. Instead, she found herself in the body of a fictional character— Euodia, the antagonist in an R21 Boys Love apocalyptic novel featuring vampires, shifters and fairies. A villainess who had been killed by the seven main characters, the Omega kings of the uprising. Quinn knew that she should stay out of their path. That the only way for her to live was to survive in the wastelands—a feat that was not difficult with her newfound ability to cast spells and purchase items from her past. But the kingdom came to realise that Omega men could not survive without an Alpha mate; that children were no longer born; and too many females had been killed in the war between Alphas and Omegas. Quinn should be exempted from the Mating Laws. Nobody cared for a Beta—a human-like Alpha that could never satisfy an Omega. Still, they kidnapped her; made her serve the men.  And in the elite halls of Azarius, she found the seven kings who had murdered Euodia in cold blood. Her soulmates. And as much as they hated her, they needed her to survive.

Three years ago, the Zahryssar Empire saved the Northern Kingdom of Thalryn from absolute annihilation. In gratitude—and desperation—Duke Veyrhold of Thalryn swore a vow to the Coiled Throne: he would send a bride to the Serpent Emperor. But gratitude soon turned to fear. The ruler of Zahryssar, Zeramet Karash, Prime Alpha of a bloodline, was rumored to be a monster—the Serpent King who wiped out his own bloodline, a ruler no consort had ever survived, and a sovereign who could erase a person’s very identity. No omega stepped forward and the promise remained unfulfilled. Until Zahryssar demanded payment. “If I could save your kingdom,” the Emperor declared, “I can erase it just as easily.” With war threatening once more and innocent lives at stake, the Duke made a final choice to send his own omega daughter—only to be refused by her; she chose death over being sent to a monster. And then, his son stepped forward. Levin Veyrhold, Alpha heir of House Veyrhold—warrior, future heir of Veyrhold—offered himself instead. No Omega could survive the Serpent Emperor… but perhaps an Alpha could. In a world where vows are law, power is biology, and love is the most dangerous defiance of all, can Levin Veyrhold survive the serpent emperor?

Ethan's life was going well... sort of. With three months to his wedding and almost enough savings to finally quit his stripping job, everything seemed almost perfect… Till his fiancé suddenly dumps him, and he loses everything he's ever built... in the span of one week. Standing at the edge of a storybuilding, he's about to throw himself off to end the suffocating pain when he suddenly gets a call... for an interview with a high-ranking company he never applied to. A company under the renowned Alpha Aurelian Vale. The S-tier Alpha who would change his life forever, and just may be tied to Ethan's present and past in more ways than he could even begin to imagine. The Alpha he THINKS he doesn't know. ******* "Why should I trust you? Isn't playing games the core of your business? Everything is a game to you. Even this... "He says, and I step closer to him... pushing myself against him, as I see fear return to his eyes. "You don't know me, Ethan. "I remind him, and I watch the anger in his eyes melt into stubbornness. "And you also don't know me, Mr. Aurelian! "He retorts, and I smirk. That's the Ethan I like. Feisty. "But I do know you. "I say, and he visibly gulps as beads of sweat begin to form across his forehead. "You're impulsive, stubborn, and daring. You are broken and hurting inside, but you mask all that pain with a smile. Never really healing from them, but burying them. Praying the day doesn't come when they rise from their graves. Your humour is your defence mechanism. It makes you feel stronger when you're intimidated or scared. "I continue, and his jaw drops as he gawks at me. I lean in closer to him, enjoying the heat of the proximity, as I drop low enough for my lips to brush against his ear, and his delicate orchid scent fills my lungs. "Am I wrong? "I question him, and he just blinks back. Visibly stunned by my words. I smile in satisfaction at him before stepping away from him, and once again I hit the emergency stop button. "I know you better than you think, Ethan. The sooner you understand this, the better. "I add before reaching for a cigar in my breast pocket and lighting it. I know it's against the rules, but I don't care. "You might want to cover that. "I say, pointing at the bulge in his pants, and he immediately turns red as he tries to drag his shirt down to cover it. Just then, the elevator doors open, and I smirk as people pour into the elevator, looking between Ethan and me. I see the stink eyes I get because of the cigar in my hand, but I only step out of the elevator because of the infant I see a mother carrying. As I leave Ethan behind, I send him a text. *Meet me in the car.*

After dying due to a system error, he’s offered a second life by a guilty goddess. Reincarnation is guaranteed. Freedom is not. Neither are the four mates waiting for him.

Eli Thorne was once Spector Zero. The government's most successful experiment and the world's deadliest assassin. After he had proved to be way more useful dead than alive, the government attempted to extract his genes to clone others like him. So, he blew up the underground lab that raised him...and died with it. Unexpectedly when he opened his eyes again, he was no longer Specter Zero but a weak, bullied, and completely ordinary seventeen year old high school student. In this new life, Eli only wanted one thing: To live a normal life. But in a twist of fate, he caught the attention of Roman Vale. The high school bully, rumoured to be the Heir to the Vale Mercenary Group. An organisation with both hands in the government and the underworld. Roman was never supposed to notice someone like Eli. Yet the moment he did, he couldn’t look away.

our dear , King Ignis, the Dragon King, has grown weary of the political drama in the supernatural realm. On a whim, he decides to "slum it" among the humans, where society has recently been shaken by the emergence of Shifters—humans born with animal traits like cat ears, fox tails, or wolf fangs, and the ability to partially or fully transform. Ignis finds himself drawn to a small, unremarkable university student named Kaelan. Kaelan is painfully quiet, utterly unflappable, and possesses a fascinating, almost aggressive cynicism. Despite the undeniable evidence of Shifters walking the campus, Kaelan refuses to believe in anything magical, supernatural, or even slightly extraordinary. He views the Shifter phenomenon as an elaborate, frankly gross, mass delusion, responding to any mention of it with a derisive snort and an epic eye-roll. However, this calm exterior hides an easy irritation, a surprisingly short temper, and a fierce, almost foolhardy fearlessness. Ignis, amused by Kaelan’s aggressive unbelief and finding his flustered moments utterly captivating, decides he must have the human. But how does the King of Dragons prove the existence of magic to a human who thinks animal ears are just bad fashion choices, all while keeping his own colossal secret? Kaelan's refusal to believe in anything supernatural, including the six-foot-seven, unnervingly handsome, and impeccably dressed man now suddenly following him around, is proving to be Ignis's most entertaining challenge yet.

At twenty-four, Candy is wealthy, infamous, and utterly unbearable. A spoiled brat with a sharp mouth and zero patience, he’s gone through bodyguards like it's water. Most of them last a few days at most, and the reason is simple: Candy is impossible to work for, at least that's the reason that makes it into the job description. Marcus Rowe is thirty-eight, exhausted, and painfully aware that he’s no one’s first choice anymore and probably has never been. Older, rough around the edges, and openly gay, he takes the job for one reason only: money. He lives with his sister and her young son, and he needs stability more than pride. He expects disrespect, long hours, and eventual failure. What he doesn’t expect is Candy himself. In public, Candy performs helplessness flawlessly. Around staff and security, he leans into a fragile, needy persona that makes him seem smaller, softer, almost powerless. But alone with Marcus, the act drops. Candy is sharper. Colder. Confident in a way that feels deliberate. The bratty behavior becomes something controlled, and the power dynamic quietly shifts into something Marcus was never expecting. As threats begin to surface and the real reason no one stays long starts to unravel, Marcus realizes that protecting Candy isn’t just about keeping him alive, it’s about surviving the strange, private world they’re building together. A world where appearances mean nothing, roles invert, and the outside world slowly fades away. Somewhere between duty and desire, control and vulnerability, they stop noticing when everything else disappears. This is Not Realize They're in a Bubble by your truly.

Lucian’s inner voice shrieked. WHAT KIND OF QUEST IS THAT?! But his body, obedient to the system, shifted—chin tilting, eyes half-lidded, voice dropping to a silky drawl. “Future husband,” he said, “would you mind helping me?” Adrian’s eyes widened—then hardened. “You dare to act like that?” He crossed the room in two strides and tore the bandages away. Pain exploded across Lucian’s shoulder. He bit back a cry, leaning forward against Adrian’s chest just to stay upright. “Be… be gentle,” he hissed. “Gentle?” Adrian’s tone was cold amusement. “I’ll show you what gentle means.” You demon, Daniel screamed inwardly. You absolute beautiful demon. The system whispered smugly, For character development, Host. Adrian called for the maid. She entered, gasped at the scene—half-dressed Lucian, bloodied and pale, Adrian looming over him—and nearly tripped over her own feet.
