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.

She would protect her lover, find her real family, and take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. .................................. "Huh? Why is there a bento box lying here?" Ivy asked, confused. "What bento? Are you trying to trick me again?" Silas asked, sadness in his eyes. "This one!" Ivy said, holding up the packaged meal and waving it at him. "What the... where did that come from?" Silas stared at it in shock. Ivy’s eyes widened. She realized something, only she could see these items, and when she picked them up, they became real. "Can… I buy it from you?" Silas asked, unsure. "Of course. But I won't give it to you for free." Ivy smiled like a fox. Silas closed his eyes; he was ready for her to demand something sky-high and said, "Okay. Tell me how many gold bars you want." Ivy smiled and teased, "I don't want gold bars; they are way too cheap. I want one kiss." Silas: Blushing hard. His subordinates: "..." This wave of dog food was too unexpected! .......................................................

Transmigrated As a Low-level BL Actor With Three Male Leads

In the dim light they were a bright green. It felt like he was looking into the eyes of a feral cat. The planes of his face were hard but it didn’t take away the attractiveness of his full lips and straight nose. The man could’ve stepped out of a fashion magazine with his well proportioned silhouette. Xian has never slept with a man, but if this handsome alpha was his partner then it might be a bit bearable for him. He just had to get it over with. Time was ticking. “Saying sorry doesn’t cut it. You’re dismissed, I’ll find someone more worthy and respectful of my time.” The robotic voice came on. [Rewards: 100 coins + 5 charm points if he forgives you.] “Please…I really need the money. I’ll do anything you ask.” Xian’s voice was pleading. “Just give me a chance, it really wasn’t my intention to be late.” The man’s lips tipped at the corners and Xian prepared for the worst. The alpha walked closer to him and bent down, his scent of Cedar and smoke made Xian a bit light headed. His mouth was dangerously close to Xian’s ear. “Get on your knees and beg. Let’s see if you can make me change my mind.” *** On her birthday, a BL novelist makes a wish on a shooting star—to not wake up to her miserable life. Except she wakes up, but not in her body. She opens her eyes as a nameless, low-level omega actor at the bottom of the entertainment industry, signed to a company that profits from intimacy but discards the men who perform it. She has written stories like this before, but she has never imagined living inside it. The catch? Only she can see the game system tracking her every choice—Reputation, Risk, Obedience, Desire. Every role, every staged kiss, every flirtation affects her stats. Fail, and she loses contracts, influence, even safety. Succeed, and the rewards are intoxicating… and dangerous. Her first role comes from a movie director whose last film was a flop that destroyed his reputation. Desperate for redemption, he casts her because no one else will take the role. Then comes a fallen Idol, pushed into a BL role to rehabilitate his image after a scandal that refuses to fade. And finally, a mafia who enters acting not for fame, but a means of rebellion. Using queerness as a public rejection of the marriage arranged for him by his parents. Each man wants something different. Control. Safety. Unraveling. Caught between slave contracts, cameras, primal instincts, and carefully staged desire, she learns that BL is not a fantasy. That it is labor, leverage, and risk. The line between performance and feeling blurs, and her past life slips further from her grasp. She once believed love was something you could write your way into. Now she must decide whether disappearing was freedom, or just another role she was never meant to survive. And worse? The system won’t let her leave without a price.

Dead Signal: When the City Learned to Bleed

The last thing they teach you in Taekwondo is to stay in control. But what happens when the whole world goes mad? Alex Calderon knows about control. His life is built on it. The clean lines of a perfect stance, the steady breath before a strike, the quiet order of a life spent mastering his own chaos. When his city breaks apart in a wave of mindless violence, that control is all he has left. The things moving in the streets now do not feel pain. They do not get tired. They only hunger. Stuck with his tech smart but panic prone roommate Jonah, Alex has to turn the art he learned for self discipline into a brutal tool for survival. Every alley hides a threat. Every can of food is a treasure. Every other person left alive is a mystery. And the monsters are not just out there. They are changing. Getting smarter. Waiting in the dark. This is not a story about heroes. It is a story about people who are left. It is about the heavy weight of a water bottle, the value of one bullet, and the slow, terrible price of staying human when the world is begging you to become a monster. Dead Signal is a raw, real trip into survival horror where every choice is a gamble and every breath might be your last. It is for fans of the desperate reality of The Last of Us, the tactical fear of DayZ, and the endless dread of Project Zomboid. Step into the collapse. The first scream does not cost a thing. The silence that comes after will cost you everything. From new author FzShun, a fresh voice in end of the world fiction.

The Argentum Apex

Five hundred years ago, General Aethelgard saved humanity. Then, he was betrayed. Now, he is Kaelen Vance, a seventeen-year-old minor noble with a fragile body, a pitiful mana pool, and the tactical genius of a war god. Kaelen has awakened in a new era where magic has become inefficient and soft. To find the truth behind his past life’s murder, he must gain access to the Forbidden Archives. But those secrets are locked away at the very top of the Argentum Citadel—the most ruthless magical academy in the world. At Argentum, gold means nothing. Aura Points (AP) are the only currency that matters. Your rank determines your food, your lodging, and your rights. The weak sleep on the floor and starve; the strong live in luxury and rule. To survive the brutal hierarchy, Kaelen needs a partner. He finds one in Elara Vane. Elara is a magical prodigy with the firepower to level a mountain, but a childhood curse has left her paralyzed from the waist down. In an academy obsessed with mobility and physical prowess, she is viewed as a liability—a stationary target waiting to be broken. Kaelen sees something else: The ultimate artillery. They strike a desperate deal: Kaelen will be her shield, using ancient martial arts to hold the line, and Elara will be his sword, raining destruction from her runewoven hover-chair. Together, the "Cripple" and the "Failure" will shatter the academy’s rankings. They will climb from the bottom of the spire to the Zenith. But at the very top waits the Headmaster, Lord Valdor—the strongest human alive—and he is watching.

Divorce? Fine! The Frail Wife is Actually a Yakuza Boss

ALL CHAPTERS HAS BEEN RERWRITTEN(1-15-2026) "Hanae, let’s be honest. You’re too plain. You’re boring. Emi is fragile and needs me, but you? You’re sturdy enough to survive on your own." On their wedding day, Kenji didn’t just break Hanae’s heart—he humiliated her in front of all of Neo-Tokyo, leaving her at the altar for her manipulative, "sickly" stepsister. Everyone expected the gentle, soft-spoken Hanae to cry. They expected her to beg. Instead, she sighed. "You’re right, Kenji. I am sturdy." RIIIP. With a single motion, Hanae tore the silk wedding dress from her body, revealing not the soft skin of a housewife, but rock-hard muscles, scars from a thousand battles, and the terrifying dragon tattoo of the "Asura"—the legendary, retired heir of the Kurosawa Yakuza Clan. For six years, Hanae starved herself, wore baggy clothes, and pretended to be weak just to fit Kenji’s ideal of a "delicate wife." Now, the act is over. The Dragon has woken up. Step 1: Beat up the ex-husband’s bodyguards in high heels. Step 2: Sign a contract marriage with Ryuuji, the dangerous "Demon King" of the rival syndicate. Step 3: Remind the entire underworld why they used to fear her name. When Kenji realizes that his "useless" wife was actually the mastermind behind his success—and the only woman capable of protecting him—he comes crawling back on his knees, weeping for forgiveness. Hanae looks down at him, cracking her knuckles with a smile that promises violence. "Forgive you? Sorry, my husband gets jealous when I play with trash."

Arcane: Thicker Than Blood

Piltover and Zaun are two cities separated by a single bridge - ironically called the Bridge of Progress. Above, Piltover shines as the City of Progress, filled with dazzling lights and prosperity. Below, Zaun suffers as an industrial undercity, poisoned by toxic waste and chemical fumes from above. And in the toxic Undercity, where children play in chemically-tainted puddles and industrial waste poisons the air, Cipher works tirelessly to transform his home's suffering into strength. Armed with his [Ready Player One] ability to adapt technologies and skills from different dimensions - particularly from the Apex world - he channels this knowledge into innovations that promise to turn Zaun's poisoned air into valuable resources, offering both jobs and hope to thousands of desperate citizens. But Zaun's transformation is as much about family as it is about progress. Caught between Vander's traditional values and Silco's ruthless vision for change, Cipher navigates complex loyalties that run thicker than blood. While Silco offers power through his newly developed drug Shimmer, and Vander fights to maintain stability, their conflict forces Cipher to choose between different visions of progress - and different definitions of family. ---------- ---------- I don't own Arcane.

DC Universe’s Gentleman Thief

"Haha, and they call you 'World's best detective', huh? A perfect crime doesn't exist? Foolishness, Batman, foolishness~" "Let me show you a perfect crime... Done countless times, heh~" In Gotham City, under the shadow of heroes and villains, a new name rises. Darren Greer, a seemingly ordinary high-school student, is secretly Kaitou Kid—a flamboyant phantom thief who steals under the spotlight, sends advance notices, and vanishes like magic. With impossible disguises, flawless planning, and audacious performances, he toys with the GCPD, outwits Jim Gordon, and slips through the world's best detective, Batman’s, growing net. He doesn’t steal for money. He doesn’t steal for power. What he seeks is something far more dangerous—the art of the perfect crime itself. As Gotham’s heroes begin to take him seriously, Kaitou Kid’s stage expands from museums to the entire DC world. Each theft is a spectacle, each escape a miracle, and each appearance brings him closer to the Bat-Family’s full attention. Gentleman thief or unpredictable wild card? Showman… or nightmare? Under the moonlight, the phantom thief smiles—because the real show has only just begun! ... If you enjoyed the chapters so far, you can now read 12 chapters ahead on Patreon. Patreon.com/serioza Think of it as ‘Advanced Intel.’ While the audience is still wondering how the trick was done, you’ll already be watching the next heist unfold. ... Points to note- MC is an anti-hero, specifically a “gentleman thief archetype,” not a villain. He avoids killing, bloodshed, and collateral damage. He exposes deception. He honors his own rules and promises. His conflict with Batman is ideological, not destructive. His enjoyment is in craft, performance, and intellect, not domination or chaos.
