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?” AUTHORS NOTE: Thank you so much for all the support!

[Warning: Some content in the novel may be upsetting to some readers. Contents include injuries, sickness, mental health, intense medication, fight scenes, and intense gore. Lastly, this novel is a semi-reality dark fantasy trope. Read at your own risk.] Chapters and Release: Release days: Everyday Release time: 3pm UTC Status: Unedited. (Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen-year-old schoolgirl happens to find herself approached by a strange woman after a rough day—who happens to know her plans on running away. Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

Ascension: Rune Evolution System

Frost had never expected much from life. Although he constantly strived to be brilliant, that was more a result of his unwillingness to allow the great potential he had been born with to go to waste. One could even say he possessed a brilliant mind, having managed to earn a place at a respectable college through nothing but his own effort. His most recent problem was his inability to control his growing sexual urges, and while he blamed his eternal virgin status, as well as the sudden explosive increase in his testosterone levels, he would soon discover that nothing was ever as simple as it seemed. Life continued as usual until the illusion known as the Matrix came crashing down, bringing with it a new world order where the strong ruled and the weak perished. Beyond the illusion lay a far greater universe, one where the laws of nature were governed by runes, mysterious structures woven into the foundation of existence itself. Fire, life, space, gravity, and even the soul were all bound by these ancient edicts. For those who awakened to them, runes were also a source of unimaginable power, allowing ordinary people to surpass the limits of humanity and gradually take control of the laws that once governed them. However, Earth had not been cut off from the rest of existence for no reason. As humanity struggles to survive its rude awakening, hidden powers begin pulling strings from the shadows, and Earth's natives soon realize that the collapse of the Matrix was not an accident. https://discord.gg/dreamlesswanderer https://ko-fi.com/dreamlesswandererr Additional Tags #Dark #Mystery #Cerebral #Apocalypse #Interstellar #PowerProgression #Academy #Sexualcontent #Apocalypse #AdvancedTechnology

Eternal Emperor's Path to Ascension

(Chapters 1 to 40 are being edited right now) (Note: Reading Prologue is not necessary, hence why it's an Auxiliary Chapter) The Path to Immortality is elusive, and everyone wants to achieve it even if there's only a glimmer of hope. Tian Yongheng is a person who regained his past life memories after his family was brutally slaughtered. His extreme fear of death and desire to be undying have forced him to step onto this dangerous path of Immortal Cultivation. He is not a Chosen One who is the favored son of heavens, nor is he the reincarnation of a Immortal Emperor. Armed with a unique system of unknown origins and his obsession with immortality, he sets forth to carve a way of his own in this world where fate toys with one's very existence itself and cosmic horror-like beings devour universes for fun. However, can he really touch the illusory, eternal, and ethereal Immortal Dao that is everlasting and everchanging? Will he ever be able to reach the end of this grand path to eternity, establishing himself as a myth and beyond? or will he also drown in the long river of history just like many others? ------- The background settings and world building of this story are greatly inspired by Top Tier Providence, Secretly Cultivate for a Thousand Years. the main characters are also pretty similar, so if you like stories where the MC is a hidden powerhouse who, despite being hidden, is still known across the world, then you can give it a try. Please be patient while reading, as this is my first time writing a novel and don't hesitate to point out any mistakes I do in the comments. Also, I'm not a native of China, so there are probably going to be a lot of mistakes in names and history and stuff, please bear with it. Note: English is not my first language and the cover image is not mine. At the end of every week, Sunday GMT+8, 1 extra chapter will be released per 100 Power Stones, and at the end of every month, 1 extra chapter will be released per 10 Golden Tickets.

Lazy Salvation

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned a truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ All chapters are unlocked.

Divine Milking System

When the Fracture tore open gates across America, the awakened became humanity's new aristocracy. They cleared dungeons, leveled up, and built platinum-tier empires while the rest of the world watched from the sidelines. Jace Monroe wasn't watching, he was dying. Transmigrated into the body of an overweight lottery winner at San Nicolas Academy, he woke up with 72 hours to live and a system that made one thing very clear: survival wasn't about combat skills or mana capacity. It was about milking awakened women for their essence. The Divine Milking System doesn't care about his rank, his reputation, or the fact that everyone at the academy sees him as a "Scratch-Off" destined to wash out. It only cares about one metric: how many women he can convince to trust him, bond with him, and let him extract their power. Every cup of essence extends his lifespan. Every ability he steals starts at the lowest rank but scales with points. And every woman who becomes his "Cow" brings him one step closer to surviving in a world designed to chew him up and spit him out. But San Nicolas Academy is a social warzone where guild heirs, international prodigies, and ruthless competitors will do anything to climb the ranks. And Jace? He's got 270 pounds, zero combat experience, and a system that demands he seduce his way to the top. To survive the academy, he'll need to master more than dungeon tactics and mana theory. He'll need to build a harem, steal their powers, and prove that even the biggest underdog can milk the system for everything it's worth. === Additional Tags: #Netori | #No NTR | #No Yuri | #Shameless MC | #Academy | #Transmigration | #Ability Steal | #Comedy | #Adult | #Yandere | #Milking

The Forgotten Son of Ice

Eiren, an eighteen-year-old young man, has lived for a year with Roderic and Liana’s family, who adopted him after finding him on the brink of death—scarred, memoryless, and carrying wounds no one could explain. To them, he is another son; to the village, a reserved boy hiding an unknown past. But the fragments that surface in his dreams tell a different story: muffled screams beneath the rain, a desperate hand holding him before letting him fall, snow-laden forests filled with enemies, steel clashing against steel, and a mission shattered by betrayal. In that forgotten past, Eiren had already wielded weapons and unleashed magic, burdened by a destiny that will haunt him no matter how much he tries to deny it. His recent magical awakening—a power of ice born in a moment of desperation—not only reveals that his former life may have been far different, but also draws dangerous eyes. Adventurers, nobles, and hidden enemies will soon turn their gaze upon him. Now, torn between the warm love of his new family and the shadows of what he once was, Eiren must face the question that torments him: Can a young man without memories forge a future of his own, or will the echo of his past life drag him back into the fate he tried to escape? *** Eiren, un joven de dieciocho años, vive desde hace un año con la familia de Roderic y Liana, quienes lo adoptaron tras hallarlo al borde de la muerte, sin recuerdos y marcado por cicatrices imposibles de explicar. Para ellos, es un hijo más; para el pueblo, un muchacho reservado que oculta un pasado desconocido. Pero los fragmentos que emergen en sus sueños cuentan otra historia: gritos ahogados bajo la lluvia, una mano desesperada que lo sujetaba antes de dejarlo caer, bosques nevados repletos de enemigos, acero chocando contra acero, y una misión rota por la traición. En ese pasado olvidado, Eiren ya había blandido armas y desatado magia, cargando con un destino que lo perseguirá aunque intente negarlo. Su reciente despertar mágico —un poder de hielo que surgió en un momento de desesperación— no solo revela que su vida anterior pudo haber sido muy distinta, sino que también atrae miradas peligrosas. Aventureros, nobles y enemigos ocultos pronto pondrán sus ojos sobre él. Ahora, dividido entre el amor cálido de su nueva familia y las sombras de lo que alguna vez fue, Eiren deberá enfrentar la pregunta que lo atormenta: ¿puede un joven sin memoria forjar un futuro propio, o el eco de su vida pasada lo arrastrará hacia el destino del que intentó escapar?

System Breach: Harem Initiated

Magic is everything. Strength decides value, mana decides status, and those born weak are meant to disappear quietly. Kael Ryunosuke was never meant to matter. With a mana count so low it barely registers, Kael survives as a bottom-rank hunter, slaying the weakest creatures in existence just to earn enough copper to buy water and dry bread. While others grow stronger and rise through the ranks, Kael devotes himself to protecting his town and serving his clan, believing loyalty and effort will one day be enough. He is wrong. When a level-20 magical beast threatens the land, Kael is unexpectedly chosen to join the hunting party. Taking it as his final chance to prove his worth, he accepts without question—unaware that the mission was never meant for him to return alive. Abandoned in the depths of battle and left to die, Kael’s life ends in despair… only for his consciousness to awaken beyond death, inside a strange void ruled by a reincarnation system bound to a trapped spirit. Offered a second life, the power to choose his own strength, and the chance to return to the world that discarded him, Kael steps forward once more. This time, he will not crawl at the bottom. This time, Kael Ryunosuke will decide who deserves to survive. And with the HAREM SYSTEM, every ally he saves can become part of his deadly, loyal harem army… each one bound by strength, affection, and desire.
