Vladimir's Marked Luna

She was sold like cattle. Now the monsters are bidding for her blood. ~ Lilith Brooks has always been the family disgrace; daughter of scandal, sister to the wanted daughter. When her mother dies and the only boy she ever loved betrays her, she vows never to beg for love again. But on the night she finally wins, fame, money, a taste of freedom but her family sells her into a nightmare. A supernatural auction. A realm ruled by wolves. And a man who buys her like property. Vladimir Dragunov is the Wintercrest Alpha, the feared ruler of the Lycan realm and High Alpha of the Onyx Concord. With a shattered past, a missing sister, and a throne soaked in blood, the last thing he needs is a defiant 'human' girl with a mouth as sharp as her mind and a humor darker than his past. But Lilith isn’t just anyone. She bears the Lunar Crest, a mark that could save or doom them all. When Kustav Volkov, an Alpha whose cursed blood runs in Lilith’s veins, comes to claim her as kin, Vladimir offers her a choice: marry him in a blood-bound pact that grants her protection… or be torn apart by the wolves because of lycan laws. But as enemies battle, conspiracies are woven, legacies burn, and forbidden attraction ignites, their marriage of convenience becomes anything but convenient. But someone from Lilith’s past refuses to accept defeat for he once knew her body… and now wants her soul. --- Excerpt He cut me off. “If it were your mother…” I froze, the words withering on my lips. He pushed on. “If it was your mother she tossed around like a rag doll…” He brought his face down, those beautiful analytical eyes boring into me. His head descended farther with the precision of a predator that knew its prey would never bolt. He knew that—whether because of pride or crippling fear—I would let his breath ghost against my face. His head didn’t just dip, it closed in, deliberate, each inch stolen. Cold pine and iron seeped into my lungs until breathing felt like permission I hadn’t given. My pulse lurched, and my skin prickled with something I hated to name. His proximity tangled danger with an ache I didn’t want to acknowledge. His voice dropped, brushing my ear—not soft, not harsh, but in that dangerous middle ground where you couldn’t tell if the next sound would be a whisper or a shot. “If I had a gun to her head, you would have acted. You wouldn’t weigh the risks in your head—you would move, shift, anything, even if it meant she would still be harmed… or die.” The timbre of his words thrummed through me, pulling heat to places it didn’t belong. “For a sliver of a chance she might survive, you would do something. Still, you refuse to move—you make excuses, you let your past bind you…” His head crept lower until he was right at my ear, his breath curling along the shell in a way that made my knees want to betray me. “Yet… you want to destroy an Alpha. Have him brought down to his knees." *** Dark Fantasy Romance Possessive ML Angst Rival love interest but no love triangle High stakes drama High sexual tension Smut(Of Course)

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.

He was addicted to the brutal, open-world simulation known for its 99.9% mortality rate, a digital hellscape defined by the "Blooming Decay Event" that swallowed humanity twenty millennia ago. He died thousands of times to the acid-drenched fangs of Spore Beasts and the lung-collapsing rot of cyclonic spore storms. Pushed to the brink of frustration by the game's impossibility, Scott spent weeks coding a balancing script—a "Shelter Core" cheat designed to defy the game’s cruel fate. However, things took another extreme turn as Scott woke up trapped in the body of a "Critically Weakened" Shelter Lord on Sporos, with a remaining lifespan of only 17 years. He is now a mutated survivor struggling to breathe in a world where the atmosphere is thick with corrosive pollen and the ground is buried beneath miles of sentient, hungry mycelial mats.

Hypnosis Point System: Rise of the Male God

new upload link : http://wbnv.in/a/08jY7V6 Lin Ye died a joke. Ugly, broke, and beaten down by life, his existence was a tragedy. The final nail in the coffin was coming home early to find his beloved wife in bed with his college bully. Overwhelmed by rage and the ultimate betrayal, his weak heart gave out, leaving him to die on the floor while their laughter echoed in his ears. But fate wasn't finished with him yet. Lin Ye opens his eyes to find himself reborn. He is back at the starting line of his youth, before the poverty, before the sickness, and before the betrayal. But this time, he isn’t alone. He has awakened the Supreme Hypnosis System. [Mission: Conquer all women. Harvest all Pleasure. Ascend to Godhood.] With the power to place anyone under his absolute mental control, the days of being a loser are over. Conquest is his new currency. Every woman he claims yields System Points, fueling an omnipotent Shop that allows him to reshape reality. With enough points, he can purchase the impossible: the flawless face of an idol, the shattered limits of an Olympian, and instant mastery in any skill, from the elegance of a virtuoso pianist to the ruthlessness of a stock market tycoon. Now, Lin Ye is on a warpath of indulgence and revenge. The arrogant bully’s innocent girlfriend? She’s his devoted pet now. The icy, unreachable female teacher? She waits for his command after class. The haughty female CEO? She is just points waiting to be harvested. He will steal them all. He will use them to upgrade his body and mind until he is perfect. He is no longer the victim; he is the ultimate All-Rounder, the Predator, the Male God. In this new life, Lin Ye doesn’t ask for permission. He takes! What to expect: Villainous MC: Manipulative, dominant, and unapologetic. System Progression: Stat screens, skill upgrades (e.g., Sensory Overload, Logic Lock, Harem Management). Slow-Burn Corruption: Wholesome wives to depraved pets. Mother/Daughter Pairs: (And sisters, and CEOs...) Empire Building: Starting from a dorm room, ending with Global Domination. The laws of physics don't apply to Lin Ye. And soon, neither will the laws of morality.

Remnants of the Guard: Bearer of Lightning

What if World War 2 and the the geopolitics of the Industrial Revolution were decided by epic anime showdowns? Captain of the Guard Thut Tanhkmet has served the Imperial family of Setet during a long and successful career, ensuring their safety and orchestrating the achievement of their most critical military objectives. With new orders instructing him to find and rescue a kidnapped Sibylline Oracle-child, a weapon of untold power in the wrong hands, he embarks from the capital at once in pursuit of the realm’s continued security. But he will soon learn that a conspiracy has hatched in his wake that threatens to upend all he holds dear. Kapitanleutnant Roskvir Englihavt is a young war hero of the Albion Royal Marines, who has quickly shot up through the ranks thanks to his nigh-unmatched prowess in the mystical martial art of sjaelsvabening. He is duty bound to carry out a surprise attack striking deep into the unsuspecting Setetic Empire, but after each sortie finds himself evermore skeptical of the machinations of cutthroat superiors. When he discovers within himself an unexpected sympathy for a strange young Setetic princess, those treasonous new doubts set him on a deadly collision course with Albion's sacred warrior code. Second Lieutenant Kerauna Iumatar is fresh out of the Patrol Corps academy, the Setetic Empire's premier officer training college, when her spat with a noble scion sees her demoted and reassigned to distant backwater. But by a strange twist of fate, this only places her in just the wrong place at the right time to tilt the balance of the coming war. Each of the three thinks themselves ready to weather any storm, even an unexpected war. But none are truly prepared for the sudden cataclysm that derails every plan, and shakes each of their former loyalties to their core.
