Trapped with a heart that loved him

For eighteen years, I lived behind locked doors. ‎ ‎Hidden from the world. Controlled and Watched. My body was fragile, cursed with an illness no one could cure, and my life was reduced to silent rooms, whispered orders, and a future decided for me. I was taught obedience, not freedom. Survival and not desire. ‎ ‎Then he entered my prison. ‎A young man, Alaiz. ‎Quiet,dangerous and Untouchable. ‎A man who looked at me like I was more than something broken to be protected or hidden. For the first time, I wanted something that wasn’t allowed. Something I wasn’t supposed to need. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎Every glance felt forbidden. Every moment we shared cracked the walls around my heart. But the closer I got, the more I realized he was tied to the very secrets that kept me locked away. Loving him wasn’t just risky ,it was deadly. ‎ ‎And then she arrived. ‎ ‎His cousin,Abi. Beautiful, Confident and free in every way I was not. She didn’t just disrupt the fragile balance of my world,she shattered it. Her presence awakened jealousy, desire, and truths no one wanted exposed. She saw what I felt. And she wanted what I was never meant to have. ‎ ‎As my illness worsens and the lies around my captivity begin to unravel, I’m forced to face a terrifying truth. My imprisonment was never about protecting me,it was about control. ‎ ‎Now I must choose. ‎ ‎Stay silent and survive in chains… ‎Or fight for love, freedom, and a life I’ve never been allowed to live even if it destroys me. ‎ ‎Because some girls aren’t born free. ‎They have to bleed for it. ‎ ‎

Starting with one territory, train troops, occupy mineral veins, forge weapons, reclaim farmland, recruit heroes, lead armies in battle, upgrade arrow towers…… Luo Lun transmigrated into a world that possesses transcendent power. Right from the start, he obtained the bloodline of a Demon Archduke, and he even possessed one territory. And that’s not all—he himself is the descendant of a high noble, his status is noble beyond words. But the only disharmonious thing in this world is that every month, there will be one terrifying natural disaster. The bloody polluters that survive in the dimensional plane will crawl out from the dimensional plane to attack human cities. Every year, countless lives are lost because of this, and everyone regards it as the source of nightmare and terror. Luo Lun looked at those corrupted giant dragons, bloody angels, and death titans that had rushed to the outside of his territory after being polluted, and gave an elegant smile. Inside the territory, the elemental turrets capable of killing giant dragons began to charge, on the city walls soldiers holding Gatling repeating crossbows prepared to pull the triggers, the spellcasters began to chant forbidden death curses, alchemical mortars prepared to load ammunition…… At the same time, two cat-eared girls stepped forward to help him put on his armor. He is the true natural disaster!

Neon Dynasty: Four Kings

Scarlett "Scar" Vance doesn't believe in luck. She believes in odds, psychology, and knowing when someone's bluffing. Three years ago, she was a dealer in the Hollow—the slum island they forget exists. Tonight, she owns the Red Ace, the most profitable casino on Spade Island. The previous owner left her three things: the keys, $30 million in debt, and a bullet hole in his forehead. The Seven Houses think she's easy prey. They're wrong. DOM THORNE runs security for half the islands. He taught her first hustle in the Hollow ten years ago. Now he watches her take down card sharks with a smile, and wonders if she remembers his face—or his mechanical arm. ASHER BLACKWOOD built the tech that runs her slot machines. He was her fiancé before the fire that "killed" her. Now he knows she's alive, and he's buying her debts to keep her close. She keeps hacking his systems to remind him: she doesn't owe anyone. KAI NAKAMURA controls the fights where she earned her start. He doesn't care about her casino—he wants to see what happens when a Hollow rat takes the crown. He's betting on her winning. He's also betting on the chaos. JULES STERLING keeps her secrets in code. They built her new face together after the fire. He's been in love with her for three years, three months, and four days. He also knows she'll never forgive him if he says it out loud. Four men. Seven islands. One throne. Scar doesn't want their protection. She wants their respect. And then she wants to change the rules—so no other Hollow kid has to burn to get out. No chosen one. No easy love. No guarantees who wins. Just Scarlett Vance, holding aces, waiting for someone brave enough to call her bluff. [WARNING: Slow-burn reverse harem with morally gray characters, graphic casino violence, and emotional manipulation. ]

Marvel/DC: World of Chaos

Marve/DC: World of Chaos. People say will of the universe is sentient. When a world is on brink of a disaster, the will of the universe will create events or people that can stop the disaster. The solutions for these disasters can be heroes, meta humans, Mutants, warriors with unknow powers and many other things. Sometimes the will creates too many solutions and the solutions send worlds to chaos. That is when the will of universe creates something new to fix those problems. This new thing can be a monster, a scientist, a psychic warrior or nothing special but there is one thing they all have, they have great potential, it is up to them to choose how to use it. This is a story of a psychic warrior that slowly turns to one of these monsters.[I am rewriting the story a bit, the main thing is the same, just some backstory is changed] __________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This isn’t just a DC and Marvel universe fanfic, I included some other worlds that aren’t part of these two but they sometimes had shared universes like TMNT. I want to justify the creation of monster so I might add more worlds but for now there these worlds: DC. Marvel. TMNT. Fables. the darkness. Mortal kombat. Some of the stories and characters might be a little different but don’t worry I will treat the characters with respect. English is not my first language so you might see some problems in grammar. I would appreciate it if you help me fix my mistakes. Please feel free to also give me your thoughts on the story and writing style, this is mostly a training for me that I also enjoy writing it. I don’t own any of these characters other than my own OC. (This is a rewrite of Dc: world of chaos.) Note: the cover art isn't mine

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?”
