TO TAME THE BRUTAL LYCAN BEAST

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).

The Manager’s Promise

The Manager’s Promise Logline: A young BBA student must navigate a web of office politics, double lives, and a "two-way love" to turn a manager’s reckless promise into a lifelong commitment. The Setup Alfha, a 19-year-old BBA student in India, begins an internship under Adi, a sharp and successful Branch Manager. What begins as a professional mentorship quickly escalates into a whirlwind romance. However, the dream shatters when Adi confesses that his initial proposal was a "mistake"—a suggestion from his roommates to help him recover from the depression of a past breakup. The Conflict Determined to keep her dignity, Alfha builds a "Professional Wall," treating Adi with cold, office-standard formality. Yet, the heart is not so easily managed. As Adi realizes the depth of his feelings for Alfha, he pulls her back in, claiming a "Two-Way Love"—he loves Alfha, but feels he "needs" his ex-girlfriend. Alfha becomes a public secret, living in the shadows of Adi’s double life. The Turning Point The arrival of Rony, a fellow Branch Manager and Adi’s best friend, changes everything. Rony becomes Alfha’s silent ally, revealing Adi’s secrets through muted conference calls. For the first time, Alfha hears the unfiltered truth: Adi is painting her as a "mentorship project" to his ex while calling her his "soul" in private. The Climax The "Two-Way Love" collapses when the ex-girlfriend betrays Adi again, announcing her marriage to someone else. Adi returns to Alfha in a state of total brokenness. Instead of offering immediate comfort, Alfha sets a New Boundary. She refuses to be the second choice or a secret anymore. She demands a public vow and total transparency. The Resolution Adi proves his devotion by confronting his roommates and publicly claiming Alfha as his partner. The story concludes with a real, heartfelt proposal in the same office where they met—no longer as manager and intern, but as equals. The "Manager’s Promise" is finally fulfilled, leading to their real-life marriage.

By the First Snow

In the elite social circles of Seoul, reputation is everything — and for Ariel Han, it’s the one thing she never asked to inherit. American-Korean and quietly artistic, Ariel has spent years living in the shadows of privilege, trying to stay invisible at a prestigious school ruled by chaebol sons, whispered secrets, and masked intentions. But everything changes when a private design project she poured her heart into is stolen, leaked, and claimed by someone with power.

Her father works for the Kangs. Her life is bound to theirs.

And a past that’s not staying buried.

They Say the Dark Element Is Weak? I Am the Shadow King.

In a world where everyone awakens superpowers, Su Chen emerges with an S-rank Shadow ability—yet they say it’s weaker than the likes of ice, thunder, or fire. Doomed to be just an assassin, sneaking in the shadows? Only suited for reconnaissance and covert operations? Su Chen just grins. Bound to the [Slaughter System], he gains Slaughter Points by hunting monsters, leveling up relentlessly, evolving without rival, and redefining the glory of shadow powers! He makes a three-year pact with the aloof school beauty, summoning his S-rank companion weapon, the Death Scythe, and ascends to godhood in a single battle! Spending 100,000 Slaughter Points, his S-rank Shadow Lord evolves into SS-rank Eternal Night Lord, and with a thought, darkness descends upon all! Spending 3,000,000 Slaughter Points, his SS power evolves into SSS rank—God of Shadows! With a single command, he rises his Shadow Legion: ten thousand shadows kneel in obedience! With a single shout, he calls the Black River of Time, freezing the very flow of time! His innate weapon can also be leveled up, evolving from an S-rank relic into the SSS-rank Time-Space Scythe, capable of slicing through the void. Wherever shadow exists, there is Su Chen. I am Shadow. From then on, only the legend of the man seated upon the Throne of Shadows remains. The aloof beauty Luo Qingxue sighs: “I regret it… I should have claimed Su Chen when he was just three years old…” Elite warriors say: “If you don’t train, meeting Su Chen is like a frog staring at the moon. If you do train, meeting him is like a speck of dust glimpsing the vast sky!”

Pill Saint's Divine Pills

Chang Le had long since accepted that this world did not operate on fairness. The Black Wind Mountain Range had just been reduced to rubble, sects were moving like wolves scenting blood, and beneath the calm surface of the cultivation world, undercurrents surged. Strength was everything. Without it, you were nothing more than drifting dust. And Chang Le? He could refine pills. That was the good news. The bad news was that every pill he refined carried a fatal edge. Inside the dim alchemy room, the furnace lid trembled as spiritual mist seeped through its seams. A rich, intoxicating fragrance spread outward—dense, pure, brimming with spiritual qi. Any cultivator would recognize it instantly: this was no ordinary elixir. Chang Le lifted the lid. Three pills lay quietly within, their surfaces glossy and faintly veined with crimson lines like living meridians. Spiritual light pulsed around them in steady waves. A Foundation Establishment cultivator standing nearby swallowed hard. His eyes burned with longing. “This… this aura…” His voice trembled. “It can really raise someone by two major realms?” Chang Le dusted off his sleeves, his white robe unruffled, expression calm. “It can,” he replied evenly. “Take it, and within a single incense stick’s time, your cultivation will soar—Foundation Establishment to Core Formation. Core Formation to Nascent Soul. No bottlenecks. No tribulation.” The man’s breathing grew ragged. “There’s no trick?” “There is,” Chang Le said. Silence fell. He picked up one pill between his fingers. Spiritual qi surged violently within it, as if barely restrained. “There’s a tiny side effect.” “How tiny?” “It may explode your meridians, shatter your dantian, and leave you dead before the spiritual qi even settles.” The cultivator’s face went pale. “Then how is that different from suicide?” Chang Le looked at him, gaze steady and almost pitying. “You think cultivating step by step will let you reach Nascent Soul?” His tone was mild, but every word struck like a hammer. “In this world, without opportunity, you’ll die nameless before you ever glimpse the peak.” Outside, the wind howled across broken mountains. Chang Le closed his fingers around the pill. “Life and death are separated by a single thought. If you survive, you ascend. If you fail…” He gave a faint smile. “Then it simply means your fate was insufficient.” In this cultivation world, survival had never been guaranteed. But neither had mediocrity.

Catgirls And Dungeons

I was on my way home with my friend when suddenly, I spotted a beautiful catgirl cosplayer with white hair. But something felt off. I couldn’t recall seeing her in any anime, manga, or games I had ever come across. Confused, I asked my friend standing next to me. To my shock, my friend’s response sent chills down my spine: "Huh? What catgirl? What are you talking about?" Suddenly, a truck came barreling toward the girl. Without thinking, I rushed to save her. In the end, both of us were hit by the truck. Now, I finds myself reincarnated in another world, in the body of the very catgirl I had seen. But... who is this girl? How is she related to the dungeons that keep popping up in the new world? Read to find out. ------------------- It's really fun, with a lot of catgirls cute moments that let you explore what it's like to become a catgirl. (Like, what do they eat? Do they hate bath? Does their tongues have spike? Can they survive falling from high above?) There's a lot of sweet romance development and of course, some spicy chapters. But on the other hand, there will also be some intense action and dark moments as the story progresses. MC will be very confused emotionally and can be a bit annoying at first since she has to adapt to the catgirl genetics. Don't expect smut chappies right away because there has to be at least some relationship development. Slice of life slow start, slow burn, a lot of action later on.
