Return of Black Lotus system:Taming Cheating Male Leads

WARNING: ITS A 18+ BOOK Heena stretched on the warm sand, sipping coconut water. Finally, peace. No scheming heroines, no brooding male leads—just her and the ocean. “HEENA! MOTHER! I FOUND YOU!” Her eye twitched. Not now. Floating above the beach was a golden lion with sparkling wings. “System 547,” she said, gritting her teeth. “I’m on vacation.” “But the worlds are collapsing! Male leads are going crazy! Villainesses are dying! White lotus heroines are ruining everything!” “Not my problem.” “You’re the Black Lotus! Only you can fix this!” “Exactly why I deserve a vacation.” “No rules! Slap them, seduce them, team up with the villainess—anything!” Heena sipped her coconut. “If I say yes, triple points, rare items from every world, and six months vacation after.” “Done! Anything!” the lion shouted, tail wagging. Heena stood, brushing sand off. “Fine. Show me these broken male leads.” Her smirk was dangerous. . . . The portal threw Heena onto cold marble floors. Her head spun as чуж memories flooded in. Empress Celeste Ravencourt. Five husbands. A dying empire. “Great,” Heena muttered. “I’m the villain.” A tiny golden lion appeared beside her. “Welcome to World 12! You’re married to five powerful men who all hate you. They’re meeting tonight to poison you and crown the heroine instead.” “Let me guess,” Heena sighed. “White lotus?” “Lady Seraphina. Sweet, kind, system-backed. They’re all in love with her.” Heena rubbed her temples. The body was weak, starved, exhausted. No wonder Celeste died so easily. “Fine,” she said, pulling off the heavy jewelry. “That empress is dead. I’m not.” She chose a simple dark dress, tied her hair up, and met her reflection. The sadness vanished. Confidence took its place. At dinner, five men waited—cold, powerful, deadly handsome. Warriors, priests, generals, spies. Every one of them wanted her gone. Wine was poured into her glass. Poisoned. Obvious. They watched her closely. Heena lifted the glass, smiling lightly. “To new beginnings.” She drank it all. The silence cracked. Nothing happened. Their faces changed—shock, fear, disbelief. Heena leaned back, calm and smiling. “Now,” she said softly, “which one of you thought killing me would be that easy?”

Dead Galaxy Chronicles

Dead Galaxy plunges into a sprawling science-fiction future set in 2852. The narrative opens in an era where Earth’s nations, ravaged and exhausted by centuries of devastating wars, were forced to surrender governance to interstellar resource-gathering corporations. This handover established a new galactic frontier defined by institutional corruption, forgotten laws, and deep moral decay. Tiberion Solegard, the head of the technology giant Evoke Systems, took command of the Supreme World Republic (SWR)—a structure founded by these corporations—and maintains absolute control over the galaxy through 12 centralized institutions. His power became unshakeable after he achieved immortality. This extreme consolidation of authority was partly necessitated by widespread colonial uprisings that erupted following the emergence of the Incompatibles. The Incompatibles first arrived in 2438: an advanced alien race that, terrifyingly, could not be processed by the human brain. Any attempt by humans to perceive these invaders often resulted in instant, irreversible blindness or catastrophic loss of consciousness. They were untouchable; no known human weapon could inflict damage. Then, just as suddenly, the Incompatibles vanished, yet the chilling traces and enduring mysteries they left behind never faded. So, what is this story about? Inspector of the Dead Galaxy and Fugitive of the Dead Galaxy The protagonist is Mehmet, an Inspector working for the Bioethical Oversight—one of the SWR's 12 governing bodies. Mehmet is violently jolted awake from a 400-year cryo-sleep due to a minor power grid failure. Because of this catastrophic interruption, Mehmet is afflicted with amnesia; he cannot recall his past, the reason for his slumber, or any crucial details of his life. His institution is barely functional, on the verge of collapse from rampant corruption and bribe-taking. Mehmet’s simple goal is to collect his 400 years of accumulated pay and retire to a peaceful life. However, he is required to complete three final assignments before retirement. As he reluctantly navigates these last duties, Mehmet will find himself tearing through the veneer of the galaxy’s darkest secrets, learning brutal truths about his own past, and struggling to comprehend a universe filled with impenetrable mysteries. Expect From This Saga: A vast, realistic sci-fi universe (featuring intricate institutions, cults, mega-corporations, and political webs) Entertaining side characters Dystopian mysteries A compelling villain R-rated humor and dark comedy A lengthy, multi-part adventure series Warning: This work contains violence, psychological tension, sexual content, and themes that may be disturbing to some readers.

Monsters World: The Relentless

Robert Tucker lived in hell—only to be reborn into a world even crueler. He grew up under the same roof as a violent, abusive man: an alcoholic, a gambler, a shadow that turned Robert’s childhood into a relentless nightmare. When Robert finally found refuge in mixed martial arts, everything began to change. At eighteen, with his escape within reach and his future taking shape, a single mistimed blow during a sparring match ended his life. But death was not the end. He awoke in another world, reborn as Marcus Grayson. Fate, however, was merciless. In this new life, Marcus had also been born to an abusive, gambling father—though, by cruel mercy, the man vanished before Marcus could truly know him. Yet this world offered something Robert had never had: a family. For the first time, Marcus believed he could live an ordinary, peaceful life. But hat illusion shattered the moment he learned the truth about the world he now inhabited. This was not Earth. Humanity stood on the brink of extinction, hunted by monsters of countless forms that roamed the land. The only reason humans survived was because of Transformers—individuals capable of abandoning their human shape and becoming monsters themselves in order to fight back. Marcus is one of them. With no grand destiny promised and no safety guaranteed, Marcus can only do one thing: Endure. Grow stronger. Fight. Not for glory, but to protect the fragile family he has been given. Because in this world, survival demands sacrifice— and Marcus has yet to understand what he is truly facing. —————————————————— * No harem. * MC with emotions, not a cold edgy lord. * No system or golden finger. * The other characters matter. * A lot of fights, I love fights. * I accept ideas for powers and characters. —————————————————— * No harem. * MC with emotions, not a cold edgy lord. * No system or golden finger. *The other characters matter. * A lot of fights, I love fights. * I accept ideas for powers and characters.

Reborn as the Psycho Villainess Who Ate Her Slave Beasts’ Contracts

At twenty‑nine, she was the youngest CEO in the tech industry—NetVault Security had gone from small startup to Fortune 500 in just six years. The media called her a prodigy. Her board called her unstoppable. Her therapist called her alexithymic. Unable to understand or describe her own emotions. The elevator chimed. Elara didn’t look up. Only one person had after‑hours access. “You’re late,” she said. “The investor meeting is in twelve hours. Did you review the—” “I’m not here about the meeting.” … “Ugh.” Elara lost her life that day at the hands of her mentor and adoptive father. By the next morning, the same people who once called her a genius and praised her to the sky were calling her a coward who killed herself to escape scandal. Then Elara woke up. Not in her office. Not in a hospital. In a different world. In a different body. She was now Elara, the Fourth Princess of this so‑called great kingdom—only to find that this princess was an utter pushover, completely useless in everyone’s eyes. No one feared her. No one respected her. Even her own palace was full of other people’s spies. How is Elara supposed to survive this palace battle, when seven princesses fight in the shadows and she’s known as the weakest one? And can she ever escape this place… or will she decide to win instead? … … “Your Highness, please… ugh…” The leash of light around Mahir’s neck—the head of the knights—tightened with a soft pull. His face flushed red, and not from pain. “Princess, here.” Ken, the strongest beast knight, knelt closer and held out a small pill between his fingers, guiding it gently to Elara’s lips. “Swallow it,” he said quietly. “You used too much power today.” On the floor below the bed, three beastmen knelt in a row, broad shoulders tense, ears twitching, their eyes fixed on her with dazed focus. Thin, glowing leashes of magic ran from their collars to the bands at Elara’s wrists. “Please…” Ken’s voice dropped, rough and a little hoarse. “Put your foot here.” He touched his gloved hand to his chest. “On me.” Elara sighed, half annoyed, half amused, and rested her foot lightly on his armored chest. All three of them drew in a sharp breath at the same time, faces turning even redder as the magic between them flared. Their eyes—gold, amber, and deep brown—looked up at her with the same lost, devoted gaze.
