Bad Mafia's Endangered Rose

At nineteen, Roslyn(Rose/Rosie) has her life carefully mapped out in the quiet hill station where she lives with her sister-in-law Diana and two adoring kids. She's sworn to stay far away from the mafia world that destroyed families and claimed everyone she loved. It's a simple promise: no criminals, no dangerous men, no connections to her only brother Lirio who now took over her father's mafia empire. Rosie made a promise she intends to keep—no matter the cost she'd never fall for a killer. Then one moved in next door—all dark eyes and dangerous smiles, claiming to be a friendly stranger. Leonard's lying. He's the Apex. And he's hiding in her backyard. Fresh from winning the Blood battle and claiming the title of Apex—the deadliest young assassin in a generation—he's supposed to be lying low, healing, and staying invisible while every crime family in the hemisphere hunts him for the ultimate prize: a favour from the Mafia Lord himself. Instead, he's stealing roses from her garden to leave on her window, pillow, in between notebooks. And slowly, dangerously, becoming part of her world. She tries to hate him. He makes it impossible. Rose thinks he's an arrogant intruder who's trying to steal even her niece and nephew's affection. He thinks she's a naïve dreamer playing at normalcy while danger circles closer than she realises. They argue, they clash, they nearly kiss in his terrace garden under the stars. And with every late-night tutoring session every shared secret, every moment of unexpected tenderness, the walls between them crumble. But Rose isn't the only one falling. And unknowingly their fate is uncovering a conspiracy. The dark truth about the massacre that destroyed his family as it begins to unravel a web of lies that reaches into the highest levels of his own organisation. The closer they gets to the truth, the closer danger gets to Rose. Because someone wanted their mafia family dead. And when they discover its heirs are still alive—the last surviving ones to a legacy of power—they'll finish what they started. Two people trying to escape their fates. One impossible choice. He can return to his world and protect her from afar. Or he can stay and risk everything—his title, his life, and the fragile promise Rose made to the family she has left. In a story where loving the wrong person can get you killed and trust is a luxury neither can afford, Rose and the Leonard(Apex) must decide: Is love worth dying for? Or is survival worth living without it?

I Don't Want This Kind of System!!

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

World System: Apocalypse Survival Update

[EMERGENCY ALERT!] [The WORLD SYSTEM has been corrupted.] [Initiating APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE.] APOCALYPSE SURVIVAL UPDATE: Details. Unlock Enhanced Abilities and Weapons Mastery by obtaining a lover or defeating an undead. Gain Survival Points by defeating the undead or through intimacy with your lover. Increase Enhanced Abilities and Weapons Mastery by using Survival Points. Buy equipment and supplies at the Apocalypse Shop using Survival Points. Survive 31 days until the WORLD SYSTEM resets—eliminating all the corrupted humans who have turned undead. *** They all thought it would be easy. They believed all they had to do was hole up in their house or apartment for a month without going outside like an expert NEET, or work together and play it safe while fighting the undead. But with half of the world's population turned undead and the other half nearly devoured before they could even master their newfound abilities, the survivors were forced to fight not only the ever-evolving undead but also the pathetic bastards scheming to steal others' lovers and the greedy human scum vying to dominate the new world rising within those 31 days. --- WHAT TO EXPECT: 1. A slightly perverted but super caring male lead. 2. Charming and caring, yet slightly savage female leads who toy with the feelings of other men. 3. Enhanced Abilities mean super strength, speed, and healing—basically like Captain America or the Winter Soldier. There won’t be any magic in the story… unless I change my mind. 4. The Apocalypse Shop only sells real-world items such as swords, guns, ammunition, medicine, food, clothing, and even luxury items. 5. If the 31-day story proves successful, expect an extension of the Apocalypse—lol.

She Belongs To The Lycan King

“Finally, we have something special. A matched set, if you will. An omega and her pup. The mother’s a rogue, freshly severed, which as many of you know makes her quite the omen. And the child, well, she’s young and trainable. Together, they make a fascinating package.” No. No, no, no. A guard grabbed my arm, shoving me toward the stage. Another one carried Nora, who was screaming and reaching for me, and I knew this night was about to change our lives forever. I just didn’t realize how much. ----- Dionne Parker has spent her entire life being invisible, just another omega servant scrubbing floors and swallowing insults. She’s survived the Bloodmoon Pack by keeping her head down, her mouth shut and her daughter alive. But when she’s framed for a crime she didn’t commit, survival means running… straight into the hands of traffickers where her life takes the worst turn. Standing on that auction stage under blinding lights, listening to strangers bid on their lives, Dionne thinks this is the end. Until a voice cuts through the chaos with an offer no one can match. Her buyer is Kael, the five-hundred-year-old Lycan King whose reputation is built on blood and brutality. Cursed by dark magic and barely holding onto his humanity, he’s the last person Dionne should be around. But the moment he sees her, his beast who has been violent and uncontrollable for three centuries, goes completely still. As if it’s been waiting for her. Now Dionne is trapped in a castle with a king who’s barely holding onto his humanity, enemies who are closing in from every corner, and a shadow who’s been organizing her destruction from the start. Will she survive when her past and present collide, or will the love meant to save her become the weapon that destroys them both?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
