Alphas of Orion and their Unbroken Mate

(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population. At 20, Amaia Zhāng is a Fae and is the last of her kind, or so she thinks. Her family and her whole village were massacred by the Dread Army in the name of keeping peace. She is the sole survivor and keeps her appearance cloaked. But she makes it her mission to train every day and become strong enough to avenge her kind. During a battle with a monster, her mate abandons and rejects her to save his life. Heartbroken, Amaia is left with no choice but to join Orion Academy. It is home to the greatest hunters and enforcers of her continent. It's a world where hunters and enforcers are treated like celebrities. She knows the training will help her fulfil her revenge plans and become a renowned hunter. And maybe along the way she will find another mate. But the twist of fate, deception and seduction from the man who is supposed to refer her to the Orion Academy leaves her with a curse and a tainted reputation. A curse which prevents her mate/mates from recognising her and prevents Amaia from informing them of who she is to them. As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate. Every time they turn her down and choose to be intimate with their chosen females, she feels every ounce of pain and hurt. Amidst the chaos and heartache in a place where enemies hide in plain sight. Can Amaia break this curse and have her mates recognise her as theirs? Does she have four mates or is there another twist hidden? Will she become a successful hunter and keep her identity hidden from the world and at the same time carry out her revenge? Read on to find out.

Iron Wolf Reborn

Jeng Minh, an overworked office clerk with a fondness for historical war novels, wakes up in the body of Zhou Chen, the infamous Iron Wolf of the Northwest—a ruthless warlord fated to die in a brutal ambush. But instead of perishing, Jeng Minh’s sudden awakening triggers a chain reaction that overturns Zhou Chen’s destined defeat and reshapes the course of an entire kingdom. As he struggles to command armies he’s never trained, navigate politics he’s never studied, and survive enemies he’s never met, Jeng Minh soon discovers the truth: Zhou Chen’s body is not merely a second chance—it is a vessel. A mysterious bannerless legion led by the enigmatic Bai Ye appears on the battlefield, kneels before him, and declares that the “soul reborn” has awakened. They know he is not Zhou Chen. They know why he survived. And they insist that destiny has already chosen him. But destiny is not the only force at play. Someone orchestrated the original ambush. Someone who also wears a bone-white mask. Prisoners whisper of hidden factions and ancient powers moving behind the scenes—powers that revived him, powers that now hunt him. With Zhou Chen’s loyal general watching suspiciously, rival warlords preparing for war, and a legion of masked warriors promising to return in three moons, Jeng Minh must uncover the secret behind Zhou Chen’s death, the true purpose of the vessel, and the identity of the being that revived him… Before destiny—and those who seek to control it—come to collect.

I Wanted a 2D Harem Isekai, Got a Rule-Horror Game

Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair!

My System Forced Me to Get Buff and Find Love?!

For seventeen years, Samantha Kisaragi wished for only one thing: a normal life, free from the chronic illness that made her a fragile glass doll in her family’s eyes. One morning, her wish is granted by... a tiny, floating mochi with a god complex? This smug spectral "System" offers her a miraculous, perfectly healthy body. The price? She must now complete a series of insane missions, from the mortifying to the life-threatening. The rules are simple: succeed and level up. Get stronger, faster, and maybe even a little more charming. But if she fails, the penalty is a fate worse than any illness: her body will warp into a 'Cursed Physique'—a seven-foot-tall mountain of grotesque muscle powered by the same old fragile constitution. A titan's strength with a body that could collapse from a stiff breeze. Now, this former shut-in is being forced to get buff, all while juggling a top-priority quest to save her perfect older brother from a shadowy, five-star threat hunting him down. And as if that's not enough pressure, the System is also demanding she "Ignite the Flames of Passion" and make someone fall in love with her, pushing her into ridiculously close and awkward situations with her bubbly best friend. With only a cheeky floating dessert for a guide, a terrifyingly competent senior known as the 'Ice Queen' as an unlikely ally, and a clock ticking on both her brother's life and her own romantic prospects, Samantha must learn to be a weapon. She was a girl who just wanted to be normal. Now, she has to become a monster to protect everything she loves.

Villain: Reincarnated as the Trash Young Master of the Wu Family

After his tragic death, a young man full of ambition awoke once more—not as a hero, but as the “trash young master” of the Wu Clan, a prestigious family renowned for producing countless geniuses. Realizing that the heavens had granted him a second chance, Wu Tian vowed not to waste his new life. He would rise from humiliation, reshape his destiny, and hold the entire world in the palm of his hand. Yet before he could even take his first step, trouble arrived. “Wu Tian, I’m here to cancel our engagement,” a girl said coldly, with not an ounce of regret in her voice. Not long after, another voice echoed through the clan hall: “From this moment onward, you are forbidden from setting foot in the Wu Clan… unless you are old and ready to be buried in the ancestral grounds, or you have reached the Nascent Soul realm!” Wu Tian froze. His new life hadn’t even begun, yet the world had already struck him mercilessly. He descended the mountain, spending the night in a small town to clear his mind—but the calm did not last long. A loud, piercing voice shattered the night outside the inn: “WU TIAN! COME OUT AND FACE ME! I’VE COME TO TAKE YOUR LIFE!” At the brink of destruction, one thing became painfully clear to Wu Tian: “This damn world doesn’t come with a tutorial.” _____________________________________________________________ Not include : Ntr, Yuri Maybe include : Netori(stealing another people girl)
