(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population. At 20, Amaia Zhāng is a Fae and is the last of her kind, or so she thinks. Her family and her whole village were massacred by the Dread Army in the name of keeping peace. She is the sole survivor and keeps her appearance cloaked. But she makes it her mission to train every day and become strong enough to avenge her kind. During a battle with a monster, her mate abandons and rejects her to save his life. Heartbroken, Amaia is left with no choice but to join Orion Academy. It is home to the greatest hunters and enforcers of her continent. It's a world where hunters and enforcers are treated like celebrities. She knows the training will help her fulfil her revenge plans and become a renowned hunter. And maybe along the way she will find another mate. But the twist of fate, deception and seduction from the man who is supposed to refer her to the Orion Academy leaves her with a curse and a tainted reputation. A curse which prevents her mate/mates from recognising her and prevents Amaia from informing them of who she is to them. As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate. Every time they turn her down and choose to be intimate with their chosen females, she feels every ounce of pain and hurt. Amidst the chaos and heartache in a place where enemies hide in plain sight. Can Amaia break this curse and have her mates recognise her as theirs? Does she have four mates or is there another twist hidden? Will she become a successful hunter and keep her identity hidden from the world and at the same time carry out her revenge? Read on to find out.

Power runs in blood - and blood always demands payment. Aya rules the North Kingdom with an ancient power that could end her bloodline forever. When Killan, the Southern King, seeks alliance through marriage, politics turn dangerous and desire becomes a liability. What begins as political maneuvering soon becomes something far more volatile. Drawn together by necessity, respect, and a growing attraction neither expected, Aya and Killan must navigate court intrigue, ancient rivalries, and the heavy cost of duty. As old wounds resurface and war looms on every border, the choices they make will determine not only the fate of their kingdoms—but the price of their hearts. Echoes of Ice and Iron is a story of power and inheritance, of love tested by obligation, and of sacrifices demanded by crowns forged in blood and history.

~•No Escape•~ "Are you running away from me, my sweet girl" spoke a voice in the hallway that made her stop in her tracks. The hallway had turned dark with only the wall lamps that burned brightly casting the shadow of the man on the floor as he slowly emerged from the other end. "What are you doing here, your majesty," She said and bowed immediately as she saw him approach her with slow but steady steps. "You haven't answered me, sweet" The man said with a sweet smile that made her wary and he heard the way her heart skipped a beat. He stood before her and used his index finger to raise her chin. He tilted his head as he gazed into her green eyes that looked back at him with fear. He took a step forward closing the distance between them and his eyes narrowed when she took a step back, but that didn't stop him from cornering her. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He continued to question and she didn't miss the mockery behind his words. "I…I" she felt her words tied to her tongue because of the man's daunting aura. She felt him trace her forehead with his finger down to her jaw. He continued moving his hand down to her neck and to the top of her swell and her thudding heart hitched when his hand continued to stay there. "Did you think you can escape from me?" He bent towards her as he spoke. His breath fell on her neck which sent a jolt that traveled down her body. "I told you, you're tied to me and me to you" _______________________ Perdita Kartar was a winsome yet strange young lady. She had an appealing beauty with her green eyes that invoked and impelled anyone who gazed into them. She had fooled her villagers so she could live and protect herself and her remaining family from the night creatures and also humans. But what was bizarre of all, was that Perdita had a secret she shared with no one. She had lived in the village since she was little, and over the years, she had been discreet with each move she made. Unfortunately, things didn't go as she planned. Despite her cautious decorum and fight to stay out of sight, a pair of glacial red eyes falls on her, which followed and refused to leave her out of sight.

This year, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry broke centuries of tradition to welcome a peculiar new student: a sixteen-year-old First Year. His name is Elian Thorne, and he didn't arrive in the Wizarding World empty-handed. Awakening the [Sorcerer Supreme System], Elian possesses artifacts that defy the laws of magic: the time-bending Eye of Agamotto and the loyal Cloak of Levitation. [System Alert] Ability Unlocked: Telekinesis Ability Unlocked: True Flight Skill Acquired: Astral Projection Voldemort: "I didn't sign up for this. I just wanted my nose back... is that too much to ask?" Dumbledore: "In all my years, I have never seen such potential. He is not merely a wizard; he is a force of nature unparalleled in our history." Hermione and Luna: "Elian really is charming... perhaps it's time to start planning for the future?"

Synopsis My great-grandfather rules Arasia. To the world, he is a living legend—an ageless emperor whose name silences continents and whose crown was forged from the spoils of the Nine Continents themselves. To me, he is an infuriating old man who sits on a throne of obsidian and pretends that peace means safety. I refuse to believe that. I was born into a world wrapped in his shadow, where danger is kept outside palace walls and history is something we are told, not lived. But I am not content to inherit stories. I want scars. I want failures. On his birthday, I demanded a gift. . I demanded adventure. I want to walk the Nine Continents. I want to face the calamities, kingdoms, and monsters that once tried to kill him. I want to gather my strength through battle, not inheritance, and forge a crown that bears my name—not his shadow. He tried to refuse me. But when he looked at me, I saw it in his eyes—recognition. The same fire that once burned in him now burns in me. So he agreed. What I didn’t know was that my wish awakened something far more dangerous. Behind my back, my great-grandfather destroyed the Crown of Arasia—the very symbol of his rule—and consumed its power. The laws of the world now beat inside his body, tearing him apart even as they elevate him beyond demons and gods. This journey is not just for me. It is his final move. His last deception. And perhaps… his farewell to the world. I don’t know yet whether I will become a ruler, a destroyer, or something entirely new. But one thing is certain. When this journey ends, the old crown will be nothing but ash— —and the world will remember my name. lyra. ---

Mirma… a man consumed by the curse of the forest, a soul trapped between life and death, between the man he once was and what he has become. His heart weighed down by sins, wandering in a world where no one knows what fate has dragged him into, nor why he has turned into what he is. Every step he takes carries the pain of the past, and every breath he draws reminds him that there is no escape, and that the power he has gained is nothing but a prison for his weary soul.

After a decade on the run, fleeing from a foreign King who would see his whole lineage exterminated, Dominic had nearly given up on ever having a normal life. But when he arrived in the Capital of Cygnia, where steam vehicles and Magitech had replaced traditional ways and old magics, he saw a chance to not only stop running, but perhaps get some vengeance for the fallen Dragonkin of the Wavemates Kingdom. However, fate has a way of making the simplest of dreams into something much more complex, as Dominic was about to learn firsthand. When Dragonkin and Bookworm Princesses meet, chaos is nearly guaranteed, and romantic sparks are bound to fly.

A thousand years have passed since the Variants first appeared from the Rifts. God answered the prayers of the human race and gave them a chance to fight back. He bestowed special marks called crests upon twelve who were worthy, granting them unfathomable power to fend off the wave of attacks. Well… that's what the church wants us to think. Man, being man, found a way. And in the present day, large numbers of the population have crests, and those that don't are treated as second-rate. This was the case with Marcus, who spent most of his life doing odd jobs—until one of those jobs led to his demise. At the hands of whom?? The son of a major crest-bearing house. Marcus is reincarnated into the body of his killer and soon finds that despite being from a major house, the boy did not have a crest. At least, not one that was bestowed upon him by God.

At sixteen, **Kaguya Ren** seizes a seat no one his age should even dare to reach—the position of **Fourth Mizukage**. Born into the blood-soaked legacy of Kirigakure, Ren inherits a village crippled by paranoia, purges, and endless war. The Bloody Mist has devoured its future, its elders cling to power, and the shinobi world watches closely, waiting for the village to collapse—or be crushed. Ren chooses neither. Through overwhelming strength, ruthless clarity, and a reformer’s resolve, he tears down the old order and places himself at the center of the storm. As war with Konoha reaches a breaking point, secret conspiracies surface, legendary bloodlines are dragged into the light, and the truth behind the Mizukage’s control threatens to reshape the balance of the Five Great Nations. Peace talks, political gambits, and shadowed negotiations become battlefields of their own. Allies are tested. Enemies move in silence. And from the rain-soaked outskirts of the shinobi world, a new force begins to rise. This is not the story of a hero chosen by fate. It is the story of a young ruler who **takes power**, **enforces reform**, and forces the entire shinobi world to acknowledge him— **Sixteen Years Old — The Fourth Mizukage.**

Regulus Black was a tragic supporting character in the original story, the good son of the Black family, one of Voldemort’s earliest sacrifices. In 1961, he opened his eyes again, but the soul inside him had changed. Facing the crushing shackles of a Pure-blood family, the dark age rising with Voldemort, and a fate that pointed straight toward death, he chose to lift his head and look to the stars. Magic was the power to reshape reality. So why did wizards use it only to fight for authority and advantage? Why had a magical civilization thousands of years old never considered stepping beyond Earth? If Muggles could do it, why couldn’t wizards?

Thomas Hale is just a chef—until people stop fighting when they eat his food. He runs a small London restaurant, loves his wife completely, and believes a good meal can fix almost anything. What he doesn’t know is that his wife is an MI6 assassin, a werewolf, and part of a hidden world that answers only to the Crown. While Thomas jokes about bad mushrooms and worries about his five-year-old daughter’s unsettling questions, monsters hesitate, deals soften, and violence pauses in his presence. And as secrets tighten and institutions circle closer, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: the most dangerous man in the room is the one who has no idea he’s dangerous at all. --------------------------------------------------- Hi I will try increase my word count for each chapter and will try release 15 to 20 chapters a week.

The ordinary and average Emiya suddenly gains the ability to travel through different worlds. What should he do? Should he punch Arkham, kick Hydra, destroy Umbrella, beat down Cobra, conquer the Decepticons, and annihilate the Foot Clan? Emiya: How many drinks have you had? If I had that kind of ambition, would I have ended up like this? I'll have breakfast at the Totsuki Resort in the morning, ride Tohru to explore the Grand Line in the afternoon, take Rem out for some Ichiraku Ramen in the evening, go for a drive with Haruhi Suzumiya in a Gundam, and invite the French peasant girl to dine at the Kikuhana Restaurant.
