76 years ago, the world changed. Or rather, should I say it evolved? Even so, this, "evolution" came at a price. Or maybe, the 'price' is what caused the evolution in the first place. What is this 'price', you ask? An invasion. Monsters from another world. Creatures we've only known through fork lore, myths and fantasy novels. They came from portals, known as Dungeon Gates, threatening all of mankind as we knew it. So in order to fight this catastrophe, the evolution happened. Half of the world's already large population Awakened as superhumans with Skills, Spells and Special Attacks all so they could pass through the Gates, enter the Dungeons and clear them. One by one. Thus marked the beginning of the Great Age Of Warriors. Name's Raid. And I'm one such Warrior. Now here's the kicker. I'm an F-Rank. The first one in history. Due to my low Mana Capacity, I could only choose one Class. The infamous Blacksmith Class. A Class no one even looked at twice, because weapons of mass destruction can easily be created with today's technology without much hassle. Now I'm faced with the reality of being seen as the weakest Warrior of all time, but you know what? To hell with it all. I'll make the most of the cards I've been dealt, even if those cards are...pretty shitty cards. I'll show all those High-Ranked Warriors what's what. They'll know my name whether they want to or not. Tag along for the ride if you're interested. Because once I get going, I'm not stopping until I reach the top.

​In the dying city of Hayem, Aren is a cynical guard just trying to survive the ruins of a century-old war. He’s accepted his fate: to live poor and die forgotten. But everything changes when he meets a mysterious, milk-obsessed girl who claims to have slept for a hundred years. After a night of drunken promises to "fix this ugly world," Aren wakes up to a nightmare—or a dream. ​The ruins are gone. The city is vibrant. The dead are walking. Aren has been pulled back a century into the past, and he’s the only one who knows that this beautiful world is destined to burn. To save the future, he must now hunt the very legends who destroyed it: The Seven Warriors of Destruction.

William Shafiq, a member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight, graduated from Ravenclaw in 1978. He subsequently entered the Ministry of Magic, where he worked until 1990, when he resigned amidst political turmoil and received an invitation to become a professor at Hogwarts. Originally, William had no interest in the position of instructor; his family’s deep resources were more than enough to ensure a life of luxury. However, the sudden binding of a "Hogwarts System" changed his mind. As long as he developed Hogwarts in specific areas, he could earn points and continuously grow stronger.

Frederick Frieseke, second son of a noble house, was born beneath the toll of iron bells and storm winds. He grows up unbothered by titles or power, content to drift through a life of ease and silence. Until the day a wanderer saves him with a Sigil, an act that ignites a spark in his soul. As unrest brews across the kingdom and the weight of bloodline bears down upon him, Frederick must learn that even those who wish to stand still are still carried forward by the wind of fate.

Lyra Veyne is meant to die at dawn. Condemned as an unstable mage, she is saved at the execution platform by Lucien Draven—the Empire’s most feared dark mage. But mercy is not what he offers. Instead, Lucien binds Lyra to himself through a forbidden soul contract, turning her into the key to stabilizing the Empire’s failing magical barrier. Bound by magic that controls their distance, power, and survival, Lyra and Lucien are forced into a dangerous alliance where resistance means pain—and betrayal means death. As political conspiracies tighten and assassins close in, their bond grows stronger, more intimate, and far more dangerous than either of them expected. She is his weapon. He is her only anchor. And the Empire will destroy them both if they fail.

Ember collects debts for a living. He never thought he'd owe one himself. Then he lights a candle he's been saving for no reason. The flame leans toward him like it knows his name. A crack opens in his floor. Something rises from it something that wears brine-soaked rags and regards him like a debt finally come due. Now there is a mark on his wrist. Violet. Pulsing. Growing. His sister used to love candles. Rain lined them on her windowsill. That was before the clinic. Before the bills. Before she stopped asking him to visit. The mark remembers her too. Ember wanted only to survive, to endure, to keep his ledger balanced and his door locked. But the door is already open. The collector is already in the hall. And the debts he's processed for years were never just numbers. They were payments toward something he didn't understand. Now he has to learn what he signed. What it costs. And whether, after everything he's taken from everyone else, there's anything left in him worth collecting.

Aoyama Kiyoshi dies on Earth without retaining any memory of how it happened. When he opens his eyes again, he immediately realizes that the world around him no longer follows the same rules. His mind is sharper, his body unnaturally enhanced, and within the air itself he perceives an energy his former senses could never detect: mana. He soon learns that he has not been reincarnated into an ordinary living being. The body he inhabits is an homunculus, an artificial creation born from the most advanced magic of this world, forged using the genes of the last Demon King and the First Heroine. Designed as a perfect successor meant to inherit a demon empire at war, this body is not merely inhuman — it is female. Without having any choice in the matter, Aoyama Kiyoshi becomes a central political figure, proclaimed the Demon Empress, a living symbol of demonic authority and continuity. What this world does not know is that, even in his previous life, Aoyama Kiyoshi was already cold, rational, and utterly ruthless — a man obsessed with authority, control, and efficiency above all else. Now possessing the body, status, and power he could never attain before, she stands at a crossroads that will determine the fate of the world itself. Will she consolidate her empire and reinforce its stability? Reshape demon society according to pure logic and efficiency? Or ignite the greatest human-demon war the world has ever known, simply because her thirst for domination and authority drives her forward?

Arrogant, feared, and untouched by love, he believes himself beyond consequence until a single night in the Black Forest changes his fate forever. A mysterious curse binds his destiny to the shadows, forcing him to confront loss, love, and the monster within. As darkness tightens its grip, Edward must choose between embracing the beast he has become or sacrificing everything to reclaim his humanity.

The bells were never meant to ring again. In the quiet village of Asterfell, time stops every day at 4:30—just for a second. No one notices. No one remembers. Except Kael. When a long-dead bell tower rings at the forbidden hour, Kael is pulled out of his world and thrown into a realm that exists between seconds—a place of floating doors, broken timelines, and ancient powers that should never awaken. There, he learns the truth. Time is looping. The world has already ended—more than once. And Kael has been here before. Each cycle ends in ruin. Each failure erases history. Each attempt brings the world closer to permanent collapse. At the center of it all is 4:30, the hour when a single choice decides whether time moves forward… or shatters forever. Haunted by visions of a future he doesn’t remember, hunted by beings that guard time itself, and driven by the mysterious disappearance of his mother, Kael must grow stronger with every cycle—learning magic that bends reality, fighting enemies that remember his past lives, and uncovering a truth far darker than destiny. Because the greatest twist isn’t that Kael can reset time. It’s that he might be the reason time is broken. And when the final cycle begins, there will be no reset left.

Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died. As he was recording a horror content. And then, he was reborn... as a supernatural entity, as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations later. But, the process was still unknown and unexplainable for him. But, that was not just the problem... Another problem... He was not reborn on his original Earth. He was reborn in an alternate Earth. The one still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography.

"In the struggle for existence, there is no room for a soft heart or wavering principles. ​Rastel, a twenty-three-year-old man with sharp, short crimson hair, carries a look of cold ruthlessness. He is no hero, and he has no desire to be one. He is simply a man who understands that power is the only currency that buys life in a world that tries to crush him every single day. ​With calculated coldness, Rastel pursues power—not out of a desire for glory, but out of the grim realisation that survival requires being the one who strikes, not the one who falls. He cast aside his dignity long ago, knowing that in this world, power is the only truth, and survival is the only victory."

In the city of Aetherforge, reality is bound by ledgers, debts, and Threads no one remembers agreeing to. Elias Varn runs a quiet pawn shop on a fog-drowned street. He deals in artifacts that shouldn’t exist, futures that shouldn’t be visible, and discrepancies powerful people would rather erase. To him, fate is a balance sheet—and survival is a matter of precision. When a growing anomaly draws the attention of a banking lord and a veiled woman who trades in inevitability, Elias is forced into negotiations where time, probability, and loyalty all accrue interest. The more he calculates, the tighter the weave becomes. And somewhere beyond the fog, something is watching his choices compound—patiently waiting for the moment his accounts finally come due.

In his past life, Victor VonHoff was just another reader obsessed with the dark fantasy novel Shadows of Dominion—until a freak accident fused that world with his reality. Now reborn as the story's doomed villain, an 18-year-old duke's heir with silver hair, a scarred cheek, and the rare VonHoff shadow affinity, Victor awakens with perfect foreknowledge of every plot twist, betrayal, and conquest. But this time, the villain refuses to die at the hands of the destined hero. Armed with mind-bending shadow suggestions that turn doubt into craving and loyalty into desperate surrender, Victor enrolls in the elite Imperial Military Academy. There, he begins rewriting fate: claiming the women meant for the protagonist, bending minds and bodies to his will, and building a private empire of devotion in his luxurious off-campus villa. Starting with his utterly loyal silver-haired maid Agnes—bound, blindfolded, dripping with need—Victor's dominance knows no limits. Explicit, unapologetic possession unfolds in every shadowed corner: teasing nectar-slick fingers deep in obedient throats, relentless claiming in moving carriages, rope-bound ecstasy that leaves subs trembling and marked as his. As the academy's sorting ceremony ends and classes begin, Victor maps weaknesses, forges alliances in House Shadow, and targets the heroines who should have belonged to the "chosen one." The hero Aiden approaches, oblivious—yet every step draws him closer to realizing the shadows have a new master. This is no redemption arc. This is conquest. Domination. A villain's harem forged in darkness and desire. ********** Patrons get the real power: 5 chapters early on the heavy-hitters: Reborn Sovereign: The Perverted King's Harem Empire Reborn Business Emperor: Forbidden Harem & Pureblood Dynasty Rise Shadows of Dominion: The Villain's Rebirth 2 chapters early on the dark side: Hero’s Slave Harem: Labyrinth of Blood and Flame Zombie Apocalypse Harem: Necromancer's Rise Exclusive NSFW character refs — steamy poses, outfits & scenes you won’t find anywhere else Your support = faster drops, hotter girls, bigger conquests.
