A Badboy Love

Luca Moretti ,moved through the world like a storm contained in an Armani suit. At twenty-eight, he was a heir of Moretti empire—a conglomerate of legitimate businesses that bloomed like flowers atop deeply buried, less savory roots, the parent he only knew was his grandpa. His life was a curated exhibition of excess: penthouse views of the city's glittering skyline, cars that purred like contented predators, and a revolving door of beautiful, interchangeable companions who never stayed long enough to see the cracks in the gilded facade. He's only have grandfather, Vittorio, the family's aging patriarch, watched Luca's escapades from his oak-paneled study with a mixture of amusement and concern. "A tree with shallow roots falls in the first storm," Vittorio would rumble, but Luca only heard the distant echo of an old world. He was modern, untouchable, a prince of a shadow kingdom. #OTHER SIDE Across the city, in a neighborhood where the buildings wore their age like a weary sigh, lived Melissa Vance , beautiful young woman. Her world was measured in bus fares, overdue textbooks, and the quiet, heroic fatigue in her mother's eyes. At twenty-two, Melissa navigated her final year at Hillcrest's College on a scholarship that felt as thin as tissue paper, stretched over tuition, rent, and her mother's medical bills. Their life was a delicate balancing act of hope and relentless practicality. Her beauty was not the cultivated kind found in Luca's circles; it was in her intelligent grey eyes, the stubborn set of her jaw as she worked late shifts at *The Grind*, a campus coffee shop(Cáfe), and the gentle strength with which she braided her mother's thinning hair. Their worlds were parallel lines, engineered by fate and fortune never to meet. Maybe fate has it way or?

Leveling Up My Taboo Lust

"Ten years of being their shadow. Ten years of swallowing their pride. Today, they’ll learn to swallow something much harder to stomach." Hiroki was the invisible stain on the marble floors of the Thorne mansion—a "charity case" orphan treated like a biohazard by the very elite who claimed to save him. Bullied by his cousin Ryota, mocked by the arrogant twins Airi and Miku, and looked through like a smudge on glass by his aunt, the icy Matriarch Sayaka Thorne, Hiroki finally broke. But at the edge of the abyss, he didn't find death. He found the Sovereign Protocol. [System Bound: Taboo Lust Initialized] [Abilities Unlocked: Charm Speech & Sovereign Seed] [Primary Objective: Subjugate the Thorne Bloodline through Pleasure and Corruption] Regression has granted Hiroki seven days to rewrite his destiny. No longer seeking a place at their table, he now seeks to own the table—and every woman sitting at it. In this world, lust is the ultimate currency, and every taboo act is a "Level Up" toward absolute godhood. Experience the dark evolution of a predator: The Power of Charm: With Charm Speech, Hiroki’s voice becomes a visceral drug, capable of melting the iciest wills and turning deep-seated hatred into a primal, uncontrollable need to be claimed. The Matriarch’s Ruin: Sayaka Thorne, the "Ice Queen," will learn the true meaning of "back-door mergers" as her nephew stretches her dignity to the breaking point, forcing her to choose between her status and his Sovereign Seed. The Harem of Vows: From the voyeuristic curiosity of cousin Nanami to the narcissistic surrender of the twins, Hiroki will "rewrite their education" through explicit scenes of total carnal subjugation. A World of Taboo: Every moan is a battery, and every "forbidden" orifice is a gateway to power. From the library to the private suites, Hiroki’s "stain" will mark every inch of the Thorne dynasty. Explicit. Brutal. Unapologetically Taboo. The Emerald Archipelago is about to realize that the "charity case" has an insatiable hunger. And he won’t stop until every "Goddess" of the elite is on her knees, dripping with the evidence of his reign. "Look at me, Aunt Sayaka. That isn’t hatred in your eyes... it’s a hunger that only your nephew can satisfy."

THE SILENT SYMPHONY

In a world that only hears shouts, his silence is a weapon. Orphaned and mute, Mateo Álvarez communicates through the beautiful game. After a tragic accident steals his voice, it grants him something else: an extraordinary ability to see the flow of play before it happens, a gift he calls The System. On the pitch, he is a prodigy, a conductor of silent symphonies, reading the game with a genius that leaves scouts and legends in awe. His talent earns him a destiny at FC Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy. Under the wing of mentors like Pep Guardiola and Lionel Messi, Mateo flourishes, his dream of one day representing Spain on the world stage feeling closer than ever. He becomes their golden boy, a symbol of pure footballing intellect, and the heart of a new generation. But when the club’s soul is traded for corporate interests, Mateo’s greatest strength is recast as a liability. To the new board, a star who cannot speak is a star who cannot sell. Betrayed by the institution he called home, the boy who dreamed in goals is cast out at sixteen, his future shattered. Now, Mateo must journey beyond the only home he’s ever known. Armed only with his preternatural gift and a resilience forged in silence, he must find a new team willing to listen not to his voice, but to his vision. His quest is no longer just for club glory, but to prove a devastating truth to those who discarded him: that the most powerful language in football isn’t spoken at all. The Silent Symphony is an unforgettable underdog story about the corruption of dreams, the beauty of resilience, and the unspoken bonds that define us. It's a journey across the fierce landscapes of European football to reclaim a stolen destiny, one perfect pass at a time. **** DISCLAIMER: The contents of 'THE SILENT SYMPHONY' is entirely a work of fiction.

Regression of the Golden ONE [LITRPG] [Urban Fantasy]

I was victorious. Past tense. Tragic, really. Foes and friends—all dead. Fully traumatized. Still coping with it. The Golden immortal—born from Adam's own spine in Eden—reduced to this. But it wasn't all, this is the end bullshit. The System gave me the polite fiction of a choice: Ascend. Become the lonely god of a fresh, empty universe… Or go back. Rip time open like cheap wrapping paper and try again. I chose to Rip. Obviously. Now it’s 2026 again. The wars haven’t started yet. The betrayals are still just bad dreams. My loved ones still breathe. I should have come back diminished, humbled, a fragile thing waiting to be crushed by the timeline. I didn’t. All the power followed. All the titles. All the blood on my hands. And the world? It’s watching. It’s pissed, but I can make do. There are gods and monsters out there, sure. Hunters in the shadows. A timeline that very much wants to stay on its rails. But honestly? I’m far more interested in seeing just how far I can bend this second chance, save everyone, save the world, and maybe ....just maybe. Save myself in the process. A dark regression progression fantasy featuring a man who’s already won once, an extremely hostile System, consequences that followed him home, and a universe that’s about to learn what happens when the final boss gets a do-over. Upload time: 05:00 pm (UTC+00:00) Sunday And Wednesday. BUT MORE CHAPTERS EVERYDAY ON ROYAL ROAD: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/147859/regression-of-the-golden-one-op-mc-done-rightlitrpg]
