Wish thought that if she ever got a second chance at life, she would at least wake up in a better story. A spoiled princess. A doomed villainess on the path to redemption. A heroine adored by powerful husbands. Anything would have been fine. That's how stories were supposed to work. Instead, fate—and whatever twisted cosmic editor writes destinies—casts her in the one role she should never have been reborn into: the fat, ugly, unwanted maiden chosen for sacrifice. She awakens in a body mocked by her tribe, pitied by her parents, and avoided by every man. In a world where beast forms define worth, hers is a joke—a puff-fluff fox, a useless cotton cloud that couldn't frighten a butterfly. Worse still, she is the doomed extra whose sole purpose was to die during the Mating Moon Ritual—her death the trigger that allowed the real female lead, a beautiful, weak princess, to earn the devotion of the four almighty beast deities. The Wind Deity—hot-headed, wild, and dangerously unpredictable. The Solar Deity—arrogant, playful, and impossibly radiant. The Sky Deity—silent, calm, and shrouded in mystery. The Night Deity—cold, calculating, and merciless. Except Wish doesn't die. And her survival breaks everything. The plot stutters. Events twist. Characters act wrong. The world itself seems to notice her refusal to disappear—and begins trying to correct the mistake. Now hunted by fate and trapped in a society where beauty is worshipped, mating marks define destiny, and the weak are meant to be sacrificed, Wish is given one impossible condition for survival: She must derail the story completely. The only way to do that is to draw the attention of the four beings the world revolves around—creatures meant to be untouchable, distant, and divine. One is bound to her by a ritual that should have killed her. One meets her with hostility instead of fate. One sees her existence as a threat that must be erased. One should be incapable of feeling anything at all. They were never meant to notice her. The story was never meant to let her live. So how is she supposed to survive a world that measures worth by beauty and power, when she is fat, unwanted, powerless—and armed with nothing but a useless fluffy fox? Can she break the story that wants her dead? Or will she die exactly as the plot demands?

Heather Potter lived a miserable life that pushed her past her breaking point and beyond… And then she evolved into Amara Black, thrust into a world that wasn’t ready for the rise of another Dark Witch. But she was here all the same. Smut / Lemons Harry Potter / DCU Crossover.

The night at the Lockwood estate was thick with the scent of jasmine and the unspoken weight of a hundred years. I stood on the balcony, the music from the ballroom fading into a haunting hum, and for a moment, the world felt still. Then, the air changed. Silas stepped out of the shadows, his presence a cooling balm to the fever of the evening. When he looked at me, it wasn’t just my face he saw—it was my soul, the broken parts I had tried so hard to hide. He reached out, his hand hovering near mine, hesitant, as if I were a fragile dream he was afraid to wake from. "You look like a memory," he whispered, his emerald eyes bright with a sorrow that mirrored my own. "But you feel like the future. I’ve spent a century in the dark, Lyra, just waiting for a light I didn't believe existed until I saw you." His touch was a soft frost, a promise of protection, a love that wanted to mend the cracks in my heart. For a heartbeat, I believed in miracles. I believed I could be more than the girl who survived the bridge. But then, a shadow cut through the moonlight. Jax was leaning against the stone railing, a glass of amber liquid in his hand and a smirk that felt like a blade. He didn't look at me with reverence; he looked at me with a hunger that made my blood sing in terror and desire. He stepped into my space, displacing the peace Silas had brought, smelling of woodsmoke and a dangerous, beautiful ruin. "Don't listen to him, little bird," Jax drawled, his blue eyes raking over me with a lethal intensity. "He wants to worship you in a cathedral of lies. I want to show you the truth. My brother loves the saint he thinks you are. I love the chaos I know is hidden beneath that pretty skin." He leaned down, his breath warm against my ear, a stark contrast to Silas’s chill. "He’ll catch your fall, Lyra. But I’m the one who will teach you how to fly in the dark." I stood between them—the moon and the storm. One offered a sanctuary built on secrets; the other offered a throne built on blood. And as I looked from the emerald gaze of the man who wanted to save me to the icy stare of the man who wanted to claim me, I realized the terrifying truth. I didn't just look like the woman who destroyed them. I was the spark that would finally set their world on fire. In the shadow of Mystic Ridge, the hunt for a heart has begun. One love will crown her. The other will bleed her dry.

Lily (His Cursed Obsession) Lily is twenty years old cheerful, talkative, and far too bright for the darkness waiting to claim her. The daughter of a once-respected businessman, her world shatters when her father’s company collapses under crushing debt… debt owed to the mafia. Lorenzo Moretti is thirty-five. Cold. Dangerous. A man who doesn’t make threats, he keeps them. When Lily is taken as collateral for her father’s sins, it is meant to be simple. A warning. A transaction. But Lily is nothing like he expected. Her laughter disrupts his silence. Her warmth unsettles his control. And what begins as captivity slowly twists into something far more dangerous an obsession neither of them can escape. She was never meant to matter. Yet now, letting her go might destroy him. And keeping her? May ruin them both. This story contains mature themes and is intended for adult readers. By-Air78

Malik lived a life meant to pass unnoticed, scraping meaning from survival in a world that rarely spared him a second glance. One night, he chose to intervene where others turned away—saving an old woman from a group of thugs. In return, she placed a book in his hands: rough-bound, wordless, and far heavier than it should have been. The book appeared empty. But it wasn’t. When Malik opened it, a system awakened—measuring growth in levels, skills, and thresholds he was never meant to reach. Power answered his thoughts. Each use strengthened him… and pulled him further from who he once was. Survival was no longer enough. As Malik grows stronger, his choices begin to draw attention. Some seek to guide him. Others test him through violence. Institutions older than recorded history stir, recognizing echoes of something they believed erased. The book never speaks. Yet the world responds. And with every level gained and evolution approached, Malik is drawn toward a buried truth—one tied to a forbidden legend, feared enough to be struck from history. Because some stories are not meant to be read. They are meant to awaken.

As monsters and ancient forces begin to notice his presence, mana reacts as if it recognizes him. He does not seek to be a hero. He wants to understand the world. But when the world responds… nothing remains ordinary.

Title: The Prime Biocrat Synopsis: He inherited the memories of the apocalypse… and the perfect, cowardly body to survive it. Silas Ender lived through ten years of hell.

The trauma of reliving a decade of nightmares was too much. His heart stopped. His body did not remain empty. Another soul woke up in his place. Kaelon, a transmigrator with a will of cold iron, found himself armed with two weapons: 1. The perfect, complete memories of a man who saw the apocalypse from start to finish. 2. A terrifying, merged Talent: [Extreme Biokinesis] the power to absorb, reshape, and perfect any biology he understands. The coward’s guidebook and the survivor’s power are now in the hands of a man who feels no fear. While future warlords scramble for scraps and regressors plot their revenge, Kaelon has a simpler plan. He will use his month of grace not to hide, but to build. He will turn his own body into a living arsenal, forge a sanctuary into an unbreakable bastion, and transform the loyal and the useful into a new breed of humanity. The aliens will come. The gods will descend. The Battle of the Chosen will rage. And at its heart will be a sovereign who does not fight their evolution he commands it. --- Tags in this story): Transmigration, Regressor, Biokinesis, KingdomBuilding, ProgressionFantasy, Apocalypse, Action, Adventure, MaleLead, IntelligentMC, Sci-Fi, System, Survival.

A romantic-comedy action saga of eternal love, endless reincarnation, and two immortals who refuse to give up. For thousands of years, a woman named Elara has been trapped in a cruel celestial curse: Every time she dies, she is reborn— in a new body, a new life, a new era… but never free. Across 47 reincarnations, two immortal beings have chased her through history: Aldren The sharp-tongued, dramatic Vampire Lord, master of blood arts, world-class overthinker, and hopeless romantic who burns kitchens when trying to impress her. Li Wusheng The stoic, ancient Chinese Immortal, cultivator of the Heavenly Dao, socially awkward around modern humans, and eternally calm—except when Aldren exists. They are rivals. They are enemies. They are in love with the same woman. And they have been fighting for her for millennia. Elara’s 47 Lives Princess. Pirate queen. Imperial medic. Vampire bride. Every lifetime reveals a new side of her… and another tragic end. Haunted by dreams she can’t understand, Elara slowly regains her memories— and along with them, the emotional weight of every love, loss, and death she once endured. Her two immortals do everything to win her heart: Competing in martial duels Destroying cities by accident Fighting sky demons at 3AM Arguing in parking lots Attempting romantic gestures that go terribly wrong All while Elara tries to survive her newest reincarnation. The Truth of the Curse Elara is not cursed because of love. She is cursed because she is the Eternal Core— the reincarnation engine that sustains the realms. If she stops reincarnating… existence collapses. A celestial deity seeks to reclaim her power. Aldren and Li are forced into an uneasy alliance to protect her. For the first time in history, the three stand together. The Final Battle and a New Beginning When the deity attacks Earth, Elara unleashes memories of all her past selves. She saves the realms— but her soul shatters once more. Reincarnation #48 begins somewhere in the modern world. Aldren and Li swear to find her again. Their rivalry reignites instantly: “I’ll find her first!” “Your senses are inferior.” “You outdated bamboo-stick monk—!” “You overdramatic bat—!” And somewhere in the city, a teenage girl looks up at the sky, unknowingly waiting for chaos to enter her life again. Thus continues the eternal chase: A comedy of immortals, a romance spanning ages, and a destiny that refuses to end.

Hmmm... where should I start. Well, dying while *BLEEP*-ing an insanely gorgeous Omniversal goddess is as good a place as any... Long story short, I died. In a pathetic way. Or... the best... depending on your *ahem* preferences. I met the Omniversal goddess Dionna and her boss, Deadpool. Yeah... for whatever reason, he's the Divine on charge of Earth. Where you all live, so... have fun. Anyways, mommy- I mean Dionna *cough* informs me that my physical death was neccessary due to me absorbing an energy known as Omniversal Divinity.

The protagonist didn’t end up as Shepard at all—so why does everyone know him as John Shepard? Because sticking close to the canon is profitable. Sure, it’s dangerously profitable, but when you’re in the thick of events, you at least have a rough idea of what’s coming next. That’s what John tells himself, anyway. Except he forgot something important: he isn’t Shepard. He carries the name, but he’s… What his real surname is—and what kind of trouble that truth will bring— you’ll find out in this book. Or maybe he’ll manage to squeeze a few perks out of it. *** This work is a translation. Og author: Amdkorn(ИванИваныч) Og name: Масс Эффект. Солдат и Корпорат.

Let's be honest. You've read this story before. Pathetic loser gets transmigrated, finds a magical system, gets into a magical academy, and suddenly every girl in a ten-mile radius wants to jump his bones. It’s trash. I should know; I died choking on my own rage while reading it. Yeah, I got that story. Except I'm not some clueless kid. I was a Yakuza enforcer. And the body I got stuck with? It belongs to the fattest, laziest, most perverted side-character I’ve ever met. My new name is Satori, and my life is a cosmic joke. My "cheat" is the [Scumbag System]. It doesn't reward heroism or kindness. It rewards manipulation, corruption, and causing the kind of chaos that makes for a damn good show. And if I fail? The penalties are... creative. And excruciatingly painful. First on the System's hit list: my gorgeous, powerful, and utterly disgusted stepsister, Natalia. The mission: seduce her, corrupt her, and make her mine. This isn't a zero-to-hero story. It's a story about a wolf in pig's clothing, and the flock has no idea what's coming. Welcome to the hunt. === ADDITIONAL Tags: No Yuri, No Ntr, Netori, Gates, Dungeons, Yandere, Tsundere, Gacha, comedy

Kamitani Yuu crossed the threshold into the world of Type-Moon, a reality woven from mystery and legend, and in doing so, awakened a Heroic Spirit Class Card. It was a vessel, a key that granted Yuu passage across the vast expanse of time. His task was clear: to journey to disparate eras, to forge the requisite great deeds and legends. Upon their completion, these exploits would be etched into the Class Card's matrix, then uploaded to the Quantum Time-Lock, the very fabric of recorded history and ultimately transmuted into a power that was unequivocally "his own." Thus commenced Yuu's pilgrimage toward apotheosis, his first step taken into the spectral, world-forsaken domain of the Land of Shadows.

"I was not born strong… and I was not created merciful." "Every scar on my body… is a lesson they failed to learn."

"If you can hear me now… remember this: some kings are not crowned— the world is forced to kneel to them."
