The Ugly Duckling Of The Tiger Tribe

A prideful snake who bowed to no one—until he became a jealous husband. A snow tiger beast warrior feared and respected, reduced to an obedient husband. A wolf chief known as a Casanova, who never stayed—until he chose loyalty. And a selfish merman who learned generosity for the first time, expecting nothing in return for his prized possession. All of them changed after meeting one woman... After sniffing in an impossible scent. Her name is Arinya. …And unfortunately for this world, that’s me, haha. *** I wrote a book once. It was an unhinged fantasy born from my high-school brain, driven by loneliness and too many hormones. It was a world of beastmen, wild freedom, and the kind of romantic attention I could never get in real life. I poured every impossible desire into it: adventure, danger, and yes… a 'lot' of handsome partners. Before I knew it, I had a thousand chapters of pure escapism and pure thrill. Then on a college camping trip, I fell off a cliff. I expected to wake up in a hospital room but nope. I woke up on a soft field of grass, with air too fresh to belong anywhere on Earth. And then something moved behind me. Sticking out of my tailbone was... A tail. My tail? Yellow and black stripes and very, very real. I touched it. Completely real. My ears? Also gone—well, moved. They were now perched on top of my head like a confused jungle cat. And the outfit? Quite revealing, made of animal hide which matched my tail. What was going on? At first, I thought it was a prank. Or a dream. Or maybe karma is finally cashing in. But the more foreign memories evaded my mind, the clearer my situation became. This wasn't cosplay and it wasn't Earth, either. And—surprise—it wasn't even the world from my own book. Welp. I had been transported into a completely different Beastman world as a beast girl called Arinya. Sounds fun, right? Well… it would be, if I weren't apparently the ugliest duckling in the entire freaking savannah! Rejected by every potential mate I stumbled across and sneered at like a freaking eyesore. This was not how I planned my fantasy to come to reality. Trust me—if this is my fantasy come true, then someone needs to fire the author. But then again, after entering this world, I'm suddenly... Attractive. I mean, there's no change to my face and the freckles are still there, but for some reason, handsome beastmen begin to flock around me, wanting to be my mate because I smell... Pleasant. What's that all about?

Claimed by the vampire prince

Content Warning: Contains mature themes that may be unsuitable for underaged readers. Excerpt Ragnar finally looked up. His eyes roamed her face, then dropped lower and lingered just a second too long. “Careful, princess. Keep taunting me like that and I’ll start thinking you like our nightly sparring.” “And if I did?” Her voice was soft now. Almost playful. “Would you stop pretending that you don't like it when I challenge you?” He rose from his seat slowly until he stood toe to toe with her. “Tell me something, Circe.” She tilted her chin up. “What?” “If I kissed you right now… Would you slap me, stab me, or kiss me back?” Her breath hitched. “That depends.” “On?” “How good the kiss is.” A pause. Something hummed between them, something neither of them dared name. Ragnar’s gaze dropped to her mouth. “Do you want me to find out?” She smiled, slow and wicked. “Make it worth the risk.” **** She was forced to marry the man who led the attack on her people.

Sold to the Dark Wing

"Who is it this time?” His voice was a low rasp, curling into the room like smoke, tying her stomach in knots of fear and something darker. Eva forced her pulse to slow, telling herself not to back down. But when his hands rose from the arms of the chair, a shiver ran down her spine. "You aren't supposed to be here," she gasped, as he stood impossibly fast. His black wings unfurled, stretching wide, enveloping her, pressing her to his chest as though he claimed her before she could claim her own breath. "Why?" His lips curled into a wicked, sharp smile. "So I won't discover you running off with that useless boy?" "I didn't—" "Of course, because he's dead." His words cut like a blade, delivered with the certainty of a god reading an open book. Eva stumbled back, pressed to the wall. "You've lost your mind! You didn't kill him—" "Why shouldn't I?" His voice dropped to a growl. A single finger traced the fading red mark on her neck. His eyes snapped with fury; the air itself shivered. He leaned forward, lips brushing her skin, teeth grazing flesh in a possessive bite, erasing another's mark. "He dares," Hades hissed, deadly and low, "he dares touch what belongs to me. A fool. Bold enough to place his lips where mine already mark her." Eva's chest heaved, terror and desire entwined so tightly she could barely breathe. His wings tightened, dark and unyielding, and she realized escape was no longer an option, and perhaps, she didn't even want it. "Don't forget, dear," he murmured, lips grazing her ear, "I've bought you. You're mine now. And I don't like to share." **** Humans are nothing more than servants in the glittering, cruel society of the winged Seraph. When a human offends them, the punishment is simple: be sold. Evangeline, never thought her own family would betray her. But when her sister committed the unforgivable, offending a seraph, their mother offered Eva in her place- without hesitation. Cast aside like unwanted trash, Eva is paraded before the Seraph nobility to be claimed. No one wants her. Until he appears. The Black Wing. The only Seraph whose feathers are not gold or silver or white, but midnight black. Feared. Cursed. Whispers say every human he has ever taken has perished. And yet, he chooses her. Dragged into his world of shadows, Eva becomes the obsession of a man everyone else fear and despises. He is possessive, merciless, and dangerously seductive. And while her family prays she will be destroyed... Eva begins to wonder if the true danger lies not in his black wings- but in the way her heart betrays her whenever he draws near. Can she ever survive this game of fate?

The Vampire King's Pet

!MATURE THEMES! After her family is brutally murdered in front of her by the Vampire King, Zyren Blackthorn, for being hunters, Aria is left broken and devastated, desperate for death. Her world is shattered when Zyren, instead of killing her, claims her as his pet, dragging her away from her village into the heart of the central city. As a human slave, she is forced to endure his sadistic desires. Every night, he reminds her of her helplessness, but beneath his cruelty lies an obsession that burns with intensity. Despite her hatred and longing for revenge, Aria’s body betrays her, and she finds herself caught between a dark desire and her desperate need for revenge. Excerpt: Aria’s breath hitched as Zyren’s fingers traced the line of her jaw, his touch colder than ice, yet searing her skin with the promise of more. She should resist, should fight back, but her body betrayed her—shivering, craving the pleasure she knew he could give. “You thought I’d kill you,” Zyren murmured, his voice a dark purr. “But instead, you’ll belong to me. Every part of you will be mine.” Her lips parted to speak, but the words caught in her throat. The memory of her family’s blood staining her hands made her stomach churn as she glared hatefully at him. “Tell me,” he growled, his hands moving lower, pressing against the softness of her skin, “do you still wish to die?” She clenched her fists, tears threatening to spill, but her body trembled under his touch. “I wish for nothing but to be free of you,” she spat, but even as the words left her lips, she felt the hunger in her—a hunger she hated but couldn’t deny as she stared into his red eyes. A need to PRESENT herself to him and have him mount her…body and soul.

The General's Daughter: The Mission

Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

Logging 10,000 Years into the Future, Interdimensional Battlefield Arc

Welcome, fellow readers. This is not yet another "raw MTL" English version (raw MTL means unedited, automatic, hard-to-read Machine TransLation). Enjoy :) Where to start? As of January 28th 2026, the manhua is currently in the first half of the Alien Battlefield arc. Chapter 291 of the manhua corresponds to chapter "551. The third option" of the webnovel. I posted 32 chapters out of the 60ish chapters in this arc, and in the next days I'll try to post the rest of them. You can find other English versions online, but beware, they are mostly if not all raw MTL translations. This arc starts on manhua chapter 278, webnovel chapter 530 "The Alien Battlefield is open!". It ends around webnovel chapter 592 "Out of the interdimensional battlefield". Logging into the Future is initially a Chinese webnovel which has unfortunately been on a hiatus for a while: chapter 663 was posted on faloo.com in March 2025. See https://wap.faloo.com/1129789.html Here is an abstract for the manhua from mangaupdates.com: 300 years after mutated beasts ravaged the world, humanity began to lose ground, with only martial arts as their last line of defense. Lu Sheng mysteriously gains the power to journey 10,000 years into the future, only to find humanity has disappeared. However, he acquires the culminated martial arts wisdom to fight back against these monsters, honing his skills to the pinnacle. Armed with this new-found knowledge, can Lu Sheng emerge as the final beacon of hope for humanity's survival? Note that there is another English version posted by Transcedence on this site, webnovel.com, but it is hard to read raw MTL, and 11 chapters are missing, in the middle of the Alien Battlefield arc, between chapters 539 and 540.

Game of Thrones: Unleashing the Fourth Scourge

Thanks for asking. So, here’s the situation: I’m in Westeros, and I’m currently starving. I woke up in the body of the man destined to wear the "Golden Crown"—and not the fun kind. I am the "Sleeping Dragon," the "dragonspawn" Robert Baratheon wants dead, the Mother of Dragons' useless brother, the Beggar King himself: Viserys Targaryen. I can barely scrape together a decent meal, let alone raise a little sister. Staring down the barrel of the original owner’s impossible "Restoration of the Dynasty," I was just about to throw in the towel and call it quits... That’s when my cheat code finally kicked in. It manifested as a holographic Game Admin, ready to con players from Earth into doing my dirty work. "Do you want a 100% realistic VR experience? Welcome to the first-ever immersive sim that feels exactly like isekai! It’s A Song of Ice and Fire meets Mount & Blade—and it's all yours!" Players: "Yes! YES!" "Be a knight, a lord, a member of the Kingsguard, or a conqueror of the frontier! A Dragonrider or an Alchemist! The medieval fantasy life you dreamed of as a kid—wielding magic and swords—is finally here!" Players: "Shut up and take my money! YES!" Staring at the endless sea of gamers—the legendary "Fourth Scourge"—Viserys asked the Admin in his head, "So... that’s how you bamboozled them into becoming my cannon fodder?" Admin: "Yup. They logged in screaming things like 'My Honor is Loyalty' and 'Death before Dishonor' and 'For the Horde'—err, I mean, 'For the Realm.'" Viserys had an epiphany. "So this is how you retake the Iron Throne." "FOR THE DRAGONS!" The next second, Viserys was trampled into the dirt by a stampede of screaming gamers. "AND FOR THE LOOT!"

Transmigrating: Starting in the Cyberpunk World

"I knew I was handsome enough to be a protagonist, but I didn't think it would happen like this." In the neon-drenched, filth-encrusted streets of Night City, survival isn't a goal—it’s a full-time job. Kael used to be a rising star at Arasaka Academy, a scholarship student with a genius-level talent for firearm technology. Now? He’s just another face in the crowd, flipping synthetic starch flatbreads filled with "meat" that used to have six legs, all while dodging stray bullets and Tyger Claw shakedowns. In a city that eats dreams for breakfast, Kael has learned the golden rules: keep your head down, pay your protection fees, and never—ever—turn around when a stranger calls your name. But his quiet, cowardly life is upended when his past literally catches up to him in the form of Lucy, a high-tier Netrunner neighbor who once stole his tuition and now demands his technical expertise. Just as the pressure of the streets reaches a breaking point, Kael’s reality fractures. He awakens in a mysterious, void-like space, only to come face-to-face with versions of himself from across the multiverse—a Pilot from the Frontier (Titanfall 2), a Ghoul from the shadows of Tokyo, a slayer of Goblins, and a hero in a world of Marvels. With a shared "cheat" that connects his many selves, Kael is no longer just a street vendor hiding from Arasaka’s shadows. From the depths of Night City to the edge of the galaxy, the legend of the "Simultaneous Traveler" begins. Night City, you son of a bitch... get ready to burn. in case you want to support me (special benefits) p4treon.com/talkfictome (+extra Chapters)
