SSS Awakening: My Money Doubles Everyday

James Morgan awakened the highest talent known to mankind. But reality mocked him. His “ultimate” talent required an absurd amount of money to grow stronger, money that a poor orphan with two siblings could never afford. For years, James lived as the weakest among the Awakener, earning scraps and saving every money for his siblings’ future. Until one day, everything changes on the day he saves up his first $100,000. He awakened the second SSS-ranked talent, merging both and creating the “Infinite Tycoon Ascension System”. Now, James no longer earns by accumulating wealth… he earns by spending it. As long as he spends money on people who have high favorability toward him, he would receive unimaginable profit. A car for his brother? Ten times the cashback! [Ding! You have spent $100,000 to gift your brother a Mercedes‑Benz AMG GT 53] [Ding! Congratulations for obtaining the highest rebate bonus!] [Ding! You have received 10x cashback — $1,000,000 credited to your account.] [Ding! You have received 1 million system points.] From a powerless laborer to a millionaire overnight, James sets out to climb the ranks of both wealth and strength. — — — Disclaimer: 'Ex-Ranks Awakening: My Money Doubles Everyday' is a work of fiction.

Love,Written In Ruins

Eloise thought her first heartbreak would end in tears. She was wrong. It ended in gasoline and a match. ​For two years, she’d loved him with a naive belief in "forever." He was her safe place—until she found the truth buried in his trash. Used condoms, the scent of betrayal still fresh. Then came the final blow: a call from a friend who’d spotted him at a restaurant with someone else. ​Eloise didn't just walk away; she crashed his dinner. She emptied a glass of wine over his face, slapped him until her palm burned, and threw the evidence of his infidelity at his chest. ​But heartbreak demanded a higher price. That night, her agony took the shape of a flickering flame. She watched his estate burn, waiting for the satisfaction to kick in. ​It never did. Because the house didn’t belong to her ex. ​It belonged to Luciano Solis De la Vega. ​A man whose name is whispered in the city's darkest corners. Ruthless. Powerful. Terrifyingly composed. Luciano doesn’t believe in mercy or insurance claims; he believes in collateral. And now, Eloise is the only asset he intends to collect. ​She is his debt. His punishment. His. ​Luciano is a master of control, a man who breaks beautiful things just to see them bend. But Eloise refuses to shatter. Every defiant glance and every tremor of fury awakens a dangerous obsession within him. ​Their nights are a war zone where hate collides with heat and punishment blurs into desire. But as the smoke clears, Eloise realizes the fire she started was only the beginning. Between jealous lovers and enemies disguised as friends, she is trapped in a world where even loyalty has teeth. ​When two broken souls collide, they don’t heal. They incinerate. ​From the ashes of betrayal, a new kind of love is written—not in promises, but in ruins.

[MHA x Eldritch Mythos]: Lurker at the Threshold

Well met travelers! Come, take a seat by the fire and join me and our protagonist onto a journey of ascension, while trying to not lose sight of what it means to be human... From a bum, who stumbled through life, into a panentheistic god wannabe. Starting from a typical trope of a guy who happens to enjoy novels and other cultured works and gets yeeted into another world. But unlike other transmigrators who, after transmigration, often finds drive, purpose, power and hot babes, our "hero", after he realised that his quirk is less than worthless, manages to remain a bum(bad idea) and try to rely on luck for survival of the plot(not gonna happen). Unfortunately for him(fortunately for us) the world or maybe fate(or me) won’t allow that! If you a bum then there are consequences! You need to grow or suffer loss (or trauma)! Otherwise you will bring shame upon the name of all the legendary transmigrators! Main worlds : "My Hero Academia" and "?????? ?????" (No Spoilers!) Quirk: [Tie those damn shoelaces!] → [??????????] If you open this novel, expect cringe masquerading as comedy, foreshadowing with a subtlety of a sledgehammer and maybe even boredom…- with an unhealthy dose of regret. Warning 1: This is my first fan-fic… or any "literary" work written altogether since ever, so I seriously expect things to be bad like…- all around(Plot, spacing, characters, dialogs, editing, release schedule) and as such I do appreciate any form of feedback/criticism. Also English is not my first language, so my grammar is also probably gonna be bad. I will try to edit things as I go. One of my main goals while writing this, is to improve my writing abilities, so I want to avoid using AI as much as possible. That will inevitably slow down the chapter release rate, which may turn really frustrating considering that I think the story progress will be extremely slow. Warning 2: I am aware that readers tend to judge fan-fic MC’s in specific ways. We expect the protagonist to be likable, cool or at least entertaining, which is completely fair. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write a likable MC yet(or maybe ever) Warning 3: This novel has(or will have) content that some people may find disturbing. You may see, descriptions or mentions of: blood, gore, dismemberment, torture, slavery, kidnapping, abuse, child abuse, drug abuse, sexual abuse, sexual assault, self-harm, suicide, cannibalism, infanticide and miscarriage among other things. Reader discretion is advised. Warning 4: This work might contain certain "opinions" and "comments" about different beliefs, ideologies and religions found in real life. In case it does end up offending someone, please remember that these "opinions" do not represent the author's(mine's) actual worldview and are merely a portrayal of this fan-fiction's fictional character's way of "thinking". Warning 5: I have no idea what I’m doing. Disclaimer: This is a fanfiction and as such I don’t own the rights for any characters, media or worldbuilding found or mentioned in this work, except my OC’s. All credit for respective media go to their authors/creators/owners such as: “My Hero Academia” by Kōhei Horikoshi, “Cthulhu Mythos” by H.P.Lovecraft, “???? ?????” by ???? ?????, “Elden Ring” by FromSoftware, “?????? ?????” by ???????????, "??? ??????????? ?????" by ??????????? ???????, "Odyssey" by Homer/"????? ??? ???????" by ????? ????????????? “???? ?? ??? ?????????” by ?????????? ???? ????? ??????, "???????" by ???????? ???????, “???????? ????????” by ?? ???? ???, “Slay the Princess” by Black Tabby Games, “????????? ???” by ????? ????????, “??????????/??????????” by ?????, "??????? ?? ????????" by ???????? ?????????????, and many others. (Redacted cuz no spoilers, I will try to unredact as the story progresses) And also to many authors of different fan fictions whose wonderful creations inspired me to take a plunge and try to write this story. Thank you. ENJOY! (hopefully reading this won’t damage your brains)

OMEGA'S WOVEN SCARS

His neck burns. The spot where his mating mark should be burns the closer Travis got. He is shaking, aching all over, and he knows Travis’ touch would soothe him. But he is hurt and bleeding. He doesn’t want to repeat his life all over again with the alpha. Not when it led him to lose everything. And everything was him, Travis. Someone who once awakened him has done it again. His fated mate. Things have changed. He is a different person now. But his stupid omega is making a fool out of him by reacting in all the worst ways. “Don’t,” Day holds his hand out, heart racing. He doesn’t know why this was happening. His body and mind are clashing again, like they always do whenever they do this. “I am not some weak omega who is going to present to you simply because you were once mated to me. I am not going to submit to you. You are not my alpha.” Gods, how he wishes he could give in just this once. He can already feel the slick trickling down his thighs. Soiling his jeans. And going by the way Travis’ pheromones flare, nose twitching, he knows the alpha can smell he is losing the battle. … Day can find nothing wrong with his life. He is now enrolled in university, a whole new life away from his cage, finally growing up and discovering who he is. Then crosses paths with Travis. The alpha who makes him feel like he is being born and dying all at the same time. A thread is pulled every time he locks eyes with him, talks with him ... feels him near him. Every time his scent wraps his body like the softest cloud. With each tug, the life that has been carefully woven and fed to him starts to fall apart. Day realizes he isn’t who he has been told he is, and he was someone different once. Something else, but it was all taken away. Travis was taken away, too. All the scars unravel themselves on his bones, and he is once again breaking apart.

Her Name Awakens a Slumbering Fate

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYSNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

Bound By the Alpha

His tongue was merciless, circling, teasing, bringing me right to the edge...... And then he stopped again. My hips bucked uselessly against his mouth. I moaned in frustration. “Please,” I gasped, hating how desperate I sounded. “Kael—please—” He pulled back just enough to meet my eyes. “Beg me,” he murmured against my slick skin. “Beg me properly, Riley, and maybe I’ll let you come.” How was I craving him.. How can I crave for him. This man kidnapped me. Yet I ache for his touch. I yearn for it. I can't go a day without it. I know this would end badly, yet my heart wants to spend every minute with him. ************************* All Riley Miller wanted was to pay off her loans and forget the empty space inside her. Then Kael Bloodmoon shattered her world. A centuries-old werewolf Alpha, he drags her into a brutal hidden society, claiming she is the last Aethelgard, a human "Keyholder" magically enslaved to his bloodline. Trapped between Kael's raw, possessive fury and the cold, calculating schemes of his brother Kain, Riley finds herself at the center of a pack war while navigating threats from ancient vampires and darker creatures. The magical bond that chains her to Kael is eating her alive, and the only people with answers are the ones using her as a pawn. To survive, Riley must learn who to trust in a world of monsters, even if the most dangerous one is the possessive, broken king who claims she belongs to him.
