Ryuutou Ruka was kidnapped as a young girl, her parents murdered in the process. She was targeted because of her Dragon Soul quirk, a powerful quirk where a dragon's soul resides within her. She can call forth a dragon spirit to manifest and attack foes, enhance her abilities, or even partially/fully transform into a dragon herself. Raised as an assassin, she went through rigorous training, climbing the ranks to infamy. Ruka was a killer forged in the depths of the underworld. This was her life, the only one she knew... until one day, everything changed. She headed out for an assignment as usual, but little did she know, it was a set up devised by the heroes to catch her: the infamous Blue Dragon Assassin. When they got her, they saw how young she was and decided it would be a waste to lock her up for the rest of her life. This led to her attending U.A. High for rehabilitation. All eyes were on her when she stepped into Class 1-A. They all gave her wary looks, except for a boy with green hair: Midoriya Izuku. His gaze was analytical and curious, not judgemental. This landed him on her radar because most people glanced at her out of fear, but not him. Will Izuku be able to tame the Blue Dragon Assassin?

If she was that worked up from the man without even seeing his face. Then when they finally did see each other, sparks would fly. There was nothing for it. They had to get a room and get naked with a quickness. Eyes half-lidded Haley slowed her movements, and the man matched her. When he felt her begin to turn, his grip around her waist loosened. She could tell by the slight tremble of his fingers against her waist, that the man was also eager to know the identity of the person he had spent the better part of the night dancing with. Plastering a seductive smile on her face, Haley finally turned fully to face the man, tilting her head up so that she could see him clearly. And that was when the little fantasy that Haley had been entertaining of getting laid that night went up in flames. It took a second for her mind to process exactly who she was seeing, and she saw the moment it sank in for him as well. In an instant his arms went from being around her waist to up in the air as the man jumped back like a scalded cat. "Roth?!" "Slater?!" * Deacon Roth, the powerful CEO of Roth Group is content with his loveless life. But then after a drunken mistake he finds himself married to Haley Slater, a woman who used to be his greatest rival before she quit.

But will they really be able to walk away after the year is over? * Haley Slater has had enough of love. So what if she is married to Deacon Roth. They have always been rivals and marriage won't change that. When the year is over she will simply move on with her life and be happily single...right?

Grace Harper has always been an outsider—raised in a wolf pack that never truly accepted her, adopted by an alpha with too many secrets. When her ex-boyfriend leaves her for his mate and the truth of her adoption comes to light, Grace knows she has to leave… or die trying. But her path to freedom slams into the Lycan King. Cold, powerful, and burdened by the ghosts of a past he refuses to share, Caine doesn’t want Grace in his world. He doesn’t believe she belongs in any world but her own. And yet, with fate tethering their souls, his control begins to crack. Grace never asked for his protection. She never asked to want him, either. But something ancient is waking, and the deeper she dives into the truth of her past, the more she realizes: maybe she was never meant to be free. Maybe she was meant to change everything. Starting with him. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* is the slightly unhinged romance between a human girl with inconvenient human morals and her mildly sociopathic fated mate—who also happens to be the Lycan King and has the emotional intelligence of a rock. Thankfully, their dangerously magnetic bond is (barely) balanced by found family chaos, a buttload of magic, and a fated mate connection that might actually kill her if they touch. Oops. Just when you think you’re reading *yet another werewolf story*, the plot and worldbuilding sneak up behind you with claws, teeth, and actual stakes. It’s slow-burn, emotionally messy, and laced with the kind of tension that could kill—or kiss—you. --- **WARNINGS:** R18: Smutty smut smut. Also, dark themes, including but not limited to: Murder, attempted murder, a stack of dead bodies, betrayal, mild sociopathy, an ML who appears to bathe in red flags despite his favorite color being green, an unwarranted hatred of blueberry muffins, and pillow thievery. A **slow burn**, spicy wolf shifter urban fantasy romance with a lot of random plot trying to knot-block everything. When the spice hits, please read responsibly. Thank you~ [WSA 2025 Contest Entry]

From overworked corporate slave to… the fat niece of a future villain? At twenty-three, my life ended in the most ironic way possible—drowning in a lake while reading an online romance novel. When I woke up, I wasn’t just alive—I was inside that very novel. And worse, not as the princess or the healer or even the tragic maid. No. I woke up as Seraphine Agro, the silver-haired, chubby niece of the story’s main villain, Duke Tayler Agro—the man who would one day summon a famine, experiment on peasants, and get publicly executed. Awesome. Now I’m stuck in a half-collapsed mansion with stale soup, a broken “Duke” father who’s too kind for his own good, and an entire kingdom collapsing into plague and hunger. And to make things worse, the hero of the story—the dangerously handsome knight Sir Alex Canva—is on his way to inspect our lands. I know the plot. I know who dies. And I’m not planning to go quietly. Armed with sarcasm, stubbornness, and a questionable diet, I’m rewriting destiny—one disastrous choice at a time.

In the Nexus World, technology had advanced to extraordinary levels. Humanity settled on their planet’s moon and began using their own sun as a colossal energy reactor. With an unlimited power source, technology improved in every aspect of life. Machines took over nearly all human labor, leaving people with nothing to do. As work disappeared, so did purpose. Humanity grew idle—and bored. Seeing this condition, the greatest minds of the era created —VIRTUAL REALITY. The invention was so effective that people across the world began diving into virtual worlds, escaping reality entirely. And in such a world, An Unknown soul is born without a human body—an existence created purely as Artificial Intelligence, living within the virtual realm.

Part of a series of books... this story is the prelude to the gripping graphic novel Tales of Anarchy by Derrick A. Strong.

Ethan Blake, an expert at fixing what everyone else throws away. Scrap metal, dead computers, exploded drones… unfortunately, he can’t fix his own self-esteem. Quiet, hardworking, and stuck in a monotonous, depressing routine after failing to pay for college because of money issues. His life takes a turn the day he discovers the S.E.X. System — Seduction, Expansion, eXecution. An intergalactic system that turns desire into power, and female conquests into vital energy capable of saving humanity from a cosmic threat. His mission: Seduce women.

[Detective Conan + OC Male Protagonist + Plot Maintenance System + No CP] ------------------------------------------------------ My name is Morofushi Sora'aki, male, 18 years old. In my second year of middle school, I was bound to a [Plot Maintenance System]. Every time I fall asleep, I transmigrate into a character in a parallel world. My task is to play that character and advance the main storyline normally. Later, I realized that those parallel worlds I transmigrated into were officially called [Fanfiction Worlds]. This system has had a huge impact on my life. Because I always accidentally confuse my own world with the fanfiction world. —For example, after returning from the [Beastified World], when I saw that annoying Matsuda, I didn't react immediately and blurted out, "Where are your cat ears and tail?" I even grabbed a cat toy and shoved it at Matsuda: "Here, your favorite snack." The five police academy students: ?! Matsuda: ...Wait? No, I didn't! Take your eyes off me! —For example, after returning from the [Gender-Swapped World], I met a new member of my brother's band named Akai. I couldn't help but hesitate and say, "You finally chose to change your gender...?" Whiskey Group: ?! Akai: Huh? —And another example, in a [Normal World], the annoying Matsuda would play with fire and fire on a Ferris wheel. Although he's annoying, he shouldn't be ignorant of common sense. However, I remembered a term my brother taught me called "rebellious phase." The more I tried to stop him, the more he might do it. So, to protect his fragile self-esteem, I decided to subtly remind him. "Matsuda, I had someone do a fortune telling for you. You're not suited for dating; it's best if you stay single forever." I thought I was brilliant because this way, Matsuda wouldn't go to the Ferris wheel, a dating hotspot. Matsuda: "??? Wait, are you sure your brother isn't messing with me? Morofushi!"

A burned-out gamer wakes up in what he thinks is a VR game. His NPC maid insists it's real. He doesn't buy it. "I'm the protagonist. I've got plot armor." He's now the youngest son of a baron family. Problem? They just got slaughtered by bandits. Everyone expects him to die next. But years of gaming weren't for nothing. He reads attack patterns like a speedrunner. Dodges with split-second timing. Kills without hesitation because hey, it's just a game, right? Except something's off. His body moves faster than it should. Pain cuts deeper than any game would allow. The bodies don't disappear. NPCs beg for mercy with tears in their eyes. The more he "plays," the more the truth creeps in. What if this isn't a game? What if Earth was the simulation all along?

Two people with secrets to keep, identities to hide, and answers to find. When the certain darkness threatens to take Oriana away, will the Dragon be able to protect his mate? ----- Excerpt- “If I knew you were my betrothed, I would have killed you the very first moment we met." Arlan's gaze darkened with hatred. “If I knew I was betrothed to you, I would have killed myself before you even killed me!” Oriana mirrored the same emotions as him. He pulled out a dagger and offered it to her. “It’s not too late. Just slit your throat with this and you'll bleed out painlessly.” She accepted the knife, her fingers clutching its handle tightly. The next moment, he was pressed against the wall and the knife was on the right side of his neck. “How about I try it on you first, my betrothed?” “Feel free to try. But when you fail, this knife will first taste your grandpa's blood, then yours.” Anger rose in her eyes, and the next moment, blood was flowing through the right side of his neck. She cut deep enough to severe an important blood vessel. “You should not have challenged me,” she sneered and stepped back, waiting for him to collapse. He simply smirked and brushed his finger along the deep wound on his neck. “Seems like you failed.” She watched the wound on his neck heal on its own and felt shocked to her bones. “You.. what are you?” “Guess?” ----- Instagram- mynovel.20 Facebook- Author mynoveltwenty

The more time passed, the more it appeared that the primary reason for this murder wasn't a local, but a global one.

[WARNING: ADULT CONTENT WITH DETAILED SMUT, LANGUAGE] Theodore Pierce has a dream, and that dream has a six-pack, steel-gray eyes, and a permanent scowl. Unfortunately, the man of his (very explicit) dreams is also Xavier Fairchild: billionaire CEO, legendary Alpha ice king, and Theo’s boss of three excruciatingly polite years. Theo’s plan was simple: pine quietly, survive on late-night fantasies, and keep his hopeless crush safely locked away while enjoying no-strings fun with Rowan, his ridiculously hot rock-star Alpha friends with benefits. Then one drunken night changed everything. One blurry, earth-shattering, knot-so-good one-night stand with the boss he’s secretly obsessed with, followed by Xavier pretending it never happened. Like seriously? Well, challenge accepted. Between leaked paparazzi photos, emergency heats in glass elevators, and a company gala that ends with a fake mating mark becoming very, very real, Theo is determined to thaw the ice king, one scandalous moan at a time. Because if Xavier Fairchild thinks he can knot him senseless and then go back to spreadsheets and silence… Well, he clearly underestimated how stubborn a sunshine omega (pretending to be a Beta) in love can be.
