LOTR: Children of Refusal

At the Waters of Awakening, an elf is born with memories that don’t belong to this world. When the Valar arrive with their shining offer - salvation, eternal light, a paradise across the sea — he sees what others cannot. A price hidden beneath divine promises. Safety traded for freedom. So he does the unthinkable. He refuses. The Avari-the Unwilling, the Refusers, the ones history will forget — follow him into exile. What unfolds is not a tale of wandering wonder, but of building: walls raised against the coming darkness, weapons forged without divine guidance, a kingdom carved from nothing but will and determination. Because in Middle-earth, freedom is never free. And darkness always comes to collect. ━━━━━━━━ ⟡ AUTHOR’S NOTES ⟡ ━━━━━━━━ Lore-heavy beginning: The opening chapters introduce many Tolkien terms, names, and worldbuilding elements. If it feels dense at first, don’t worry - each chapter ends with a mini-glossary to help you navigate everything easily. Long-form chapters: The chapter count may look small early on, but every chapter is substantial (3,000+ words minimum, often much longer). AU & apologies to lore purists: This is an Alternate Universe kingdom-building story set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth. I apologize in advance to hardcore LOTR fans for any lore liberties or naming mistakes - I’m doing my best to honor the source material while exploring new possibilities. Constructive feedback is always welcome (kindly, please)! Give it a chance. The Avari are waiting!!!

Lord of woes: An infinite evolution of a spirit untamed

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.

Leveling Up by Seducing Milfs

[5 daily update continue next week] [WARNING: MATURE CONTENT R18] [SMUT! NO NTR!] Rick Rolland didn’t expect to die young while gooning to some peak milf video, and he definitely didn’t expect to wake up in a world of dragons, elves, ancient empires, and magic older than civilization itself. But even worse than death was the cheat ability he received. Right after reincarnating, a small glowing figure floated out of his chest. A tiny chibi old-butler spirit with monocle, mustache, and a permanent irritated look. “Ahem. Welcome to Zorathia, gooner user.” [MATURE AFFINITY SYSTEM ONLINE] “You can only gain EXP by increasing affection with women aged 30 or above. Try not to die… while gooning again because you can have womans now...” Rick froze. Other isekai heroes would kill goblins, slay dragons, or train with legendary swords. But him? He levels up by seducing older women. “Slay goblins? Too simple. Lift a sword? Too mainstream. You, gooner user, must charm experienced ladies until they blush. It builds character and yours is nonexistent.” And just like that, Rick’s life in Zorathia spiraled into chaos. -------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: There will be A LOT of lemons, No NTR, No Yuri, but there's a little bit of netori in it. (MC steal someone's girl) and every milf in harem is a different race like elf, demon, goddess, you name it, all are here MC here is very perverted and also very smart when it comes to his LARGE harem. and yes, he will make love with them all! any additional questions can be asked to me in the comments Discord: https://discord.gg/fD38nPykq7
