The Grand Duke's Soulmate

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please be known that this book wouldn't have made it this far without the support my dear writing buddy Rachel E. Canton who is a great writer of SINS OF THE SERAPHIM - https://www.webnovel.com/book/sins-of-the-seraphim_26438336605116805 and Derek J. Perna To Rachel & Derek, Thank you for everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When the last heir of Ardel lost everything, fate would bring her to her rightful protector. Anna Adhemar, the forgotten princess, found herself betrayed by the Regent. Hunted by the Bargesians and the ruthless slave traders, she desperately fled for her life. Rescued by a mysterious man, her newfound safety was short-lived as she succumbed to a potent aphrodisiac. Then, she awoke in the arms of the fearsome Knight Commander of Gerhard, stripped bare, in a foreign kingdom. Fear, confusion, and a sense of profound devastation enveloped her. But the man before her declared, "I am your husband. I married you last night." Then, with unwavering determination, he vowed, " You're my woman now. No one can hurt my woman." --- Kyren Raychard, the Crown Prince who had chosen to forsake the throne and become celibate, led the Knights of Gerhard to safeguard his kingdom’s border from slave trading activities. Outside his camp, he found Anna poisoned and delirious. The healer informed him of the only cure, of which he must race against time to give and honour her. For the first time, he felt an overwhelming instinct to protect and claim her as his own. Unaware of his deepening affection, he belatedly realised his feelings as he stood on the brink of losing her. Bound by a soul-binding spell, their fates intertwined…

Death of The Heartkeeper

"May the maladies of your path become fuel for your endeavours, and you the furnace in which you forge your righteous blade, my dear prince." Maritzia Auretz has nothing—an existence forsaken by the story itself. In this world, there exist those known as 'Witches', beings granted mysterious blessings from birth through covenants with living stars. Through these blessings, they are capable of tearing the very heavens asunder, defying the laws of the world. Yet Maritzia has no such thing. Abandoned at birth and left to die, taken in by his master—only for her to vanish without a trace one day, leaving him alone once more. The stars do not smile upon him. Despite this, Maritzia refuses to let go of his dream, a promise he made with his two childhood friends: To become a "Sovereign"—one of the eight absolute rulers of the world—in order to enter the fabled archives of reality, and in so doing, learn the truth behind his own existence. However, while he's spent his whole life desperately searching for a way to get stronger, his childhood friends have already become two of the most powerful Witches the world has ever seen, on the verge of becoming Sovereigns. Yet one still chooses to dwell in his basement, rejecting the outside world, while the other hasn't been seen in over a decade. This is the tale of how an orphan boy, written off by the world as a nobody, becomes the world's worst Sovereign, and brings down the very foundations of reality itself. — "It's okay, Mari. I don't mind dying... if it's by your hands."

Hunger Games: The Unseen Tribute

After dying of cancer in our world, a 34-year-old man wakes up in the body of 17-year-old Nolan James in the coal-dusted slums of District 12. He isn't just a survivor; he’s a "transmigrant" who knows the horrific future of Panem and the details of the 74th Hunger Games. Armed with a set of "game-breaking" supernatural abilities, Nolan must navigate the Reaping, the training in the Capitol, and the bloodbath of the Arena. His goal isn't just to survive—it's to use his powers to protect Katniss and Peeta, sabotage the Gamemakers from the inside, and turn the televised slaughter into the first spark of a real revolution. The Transmigrant’s Arsenal: The Powers 1. Blind Spot (The Ghost Sense) What it does: He instinctively "knows" exactly where people or cameras aren't looking. This makes him a master of stealth, allowing him to move through the Arena or the Capitol completely unseen, slipping through the literal blind spots of surveillance. 2. Enhanced Healing (The Survivor’s Grit) What it does: His body repairs itself at a supernatural rate. While not instant, it allows him to walk off injuries that would kill any other tribute—broken bones knit in hours, and deep gashes close overnight—as long as he has enough food to fuel the recovery. 3. Poison/Toxin Immunity (The Mithridates Effect) What it does: His blood neutralizes any chemical threat. Whether it’s the lethal fog of the Quarter Quell, tracker jacker venom, or a poisoned berry, Nolan is completely immune. He can walk through biological traps that the Gamemakers design to be "instant death." 4. Storage Space (The Infinite Inventory) What it does: By touching an object, he can "store" it in a private pocket dimension and pull it out later. This allows him to smuggle weapons, infinite food, and medical supplies past the Capitol's peacekeepers and into the heart of the Arena.

The Dragon's Heart: Unspoken Passion

To the world, Princess Ilaria of Caelwyn is a bride of duty. To her heart, she is a woman desperately chasing the love of the husband who will not look her way. All she ever wanted was for him to care; for him to turn his gaze toward her with the same fervor she carried in her heart. No matter how many times he pushed her away, no matter how cold the silence between them became, she never gave up. Not once did she allow herself to see him as someone unworthy of her love. To her, he was always worth it. And when love at last took root, when it bloomed against every storm that tried to tear them apart; when two hearts finally found each other and dared to beat as one… fate, as cruel and merciless as it is, reminded them that there were forces even love could never conquer. --EXCERPT-- Levan pressed his lips to her temple, his lips trembling as though the kiss itself might shatter him. One hand cradled her face with the kind of gentleness he had never shown anyone, while the other threaded weakly through her hair, trying futilely to soothe the sobs wracking his wife's body. His breath break unevenly, his eyes were shut tight, as if by closing them he could pretend this moment would never come. As if the world might let them stay this way forever. As if the reality of it all could be discarded just so that they could live however they wanted. He let his mouth fall against her cheek and linger there, tasting the salt of her tears as though they were his own. He did not move for a long while… because if this sorrow was the final piece of her he was allowed to carry, he wanted to etch it into his very soul. He wanted to remember the way she shook in his arms. He wanted to remember the sound of her muffled cries. He wanted to remember the warmth of her skin pressed so desperately against him. He wanted to remember her as his wife; his beloved. "Live, my love," he whispered, his voice raw and breaking, the words choking out of him like a prayer he could barely force past his throat. He buried his face against her hair so she would not see the tears spilling freely down his cheeks. "Even if it's far from me… live." --×-- >> Tags: [soft comfort • fluff • slow-paced *very* • angst • sweet • romance • slow burn • comedy • fantasy] >> Here if you like SLOW BURN angsty romance. >> Main conflict starts wayyy later. >> Word count per chapter: 1.5k ~ 2.3k

The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

Author's message to webnovel readers: Hello everyone, I’m Morning Star LL! Meet again, huh! Along with "This Game is Too Real" another novel titled "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" has been released. Still one "player + isekai" combination. This time, however, the isekai is a completely fantastical world detached from reality, the legendary realm of swords and magic. The primary motivation behind writing this book was to address the regrets left from "This Game is Too Real" Although I endeavored to incorporate as much of my intended message and the creative ideas that emerged during the writing process, I had to give up many ideas due to length constraints. Thus, I thought why not start from scratch and write about a game set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, shifting the focus more on the original inhabitants of the isekai rather than the players from Earth, to see if it could generate more interesting interactions. Like "This Game is Too Real", "The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!" primarily features a light-hearted and humorous style. Without the burden of a serious overarching background, the overall tone is somewhat more cheerful than "This Game is Too Real". I'll leave the rest of the content for you all to discover within the book! I hope that you will enjoy my work! Thank you! by Morning Star LL —————————————— Succubus Reporter: "Respected Lord Demon King, I remember the Demon God ordered you to spread panic among our enemies, but how come I've heard that you bought an entire street in the enemy's city center?" Luo Yan: "Foolish! Don't you understand tactical relocation? If I buy up the humans' city, won't the humans have to move into my underground city to live?" Succubus Reporter: "However, I heard that when the humans learned even the Demon King was buying property in the Holy City, not only did it fail to cause panic, but it also doubled the property prices in the Holy City." Luo Yan said smugly. "This precisely proves that my plan is correct!" Meanwhile, in the underground city, the skeletal miners (players) were making a fuss. "Get the game designer out here!" "What happened to promised divine pets, divine equipment, nurturing, achievements, the marketplace, junior female fellow practitioners, senior female fellow practitioners... the system, huh?" "Is this game really just about mining?!"
