Shades Of The Exorcist's Smile

Lìngxiāo is the same boy Chóng Fēi believed he had killed indirectly by exposing him. Since the time Lìngxiāo was Eighteen, he has carried a strange condition that never lets him show pain or anger. As an independent exorcist with no controlling clan above him, he roams the land with three burning aims: to save the common people from darkness, to clear his own name—from his own father's murder—and to unravel the mystery behind the man who raised him before disappearing right after he learned to stand on his own. Was his father killed? Or was there something deeper than that? Who was that bloodless "uncle" who used to teach him what is distraction and what is destination? Were those teasing words—"A wave of pleasure"—something more than what he took too long to understand? Soon, his destiny took an unexpected turn. His hometown Yún Xi calls him back—not as who he used to be, but as a professional exorcist. A town haunted by a Red Robe Ghost, where no exorcist who answered the call has ever survived. When Lìngxiāo arrives, a silent surprise awaits him. The ghost is one groom or something else? why isn't his calculation matching? who hunts the heir this much? That heir is Chóng Fēi. He has spent more then seven years carrying the weight of a death he believes he caused—the death of Xiǎo Lìng, the boy who once protected him from his father's cruelty. He has spent years trapped between his father's control and the skull mummy who haunts his every step. Now, Chóng Fēi finds himself drawn to the mysterious, perpetually smiling exorcist. Something about Lìngxiāo feels familiar. Something about him makes Chóng Fēi want to trust—and want to run. He doesn't know that the man he's falling for is the same boy he's been mourning. During the investigation—through a ballad of needles and fear, all for the sake of keeping the heir alive—Chóng Fēi's one-sided longing grows into deep love. It becomes his reason to walk slower. To share belongings. To share his trauma. And Lìngxiāo, who has been searching for answers about his father and his uncle, begins to realize that the demonic energy haunting Yún Xi isn't just around him. It's around Chóng Fēi too. The ghosts are not the villains. They are victims of someone else—a mastermind who has been watching, waiting, pulling the strings. And there is more than one. The unknown one seems to be above the other. Can someone who roots for power and legacy move for the songbird whose nature is flying around, searching for his origin? And who even bothered enough to raise a hopeless boy without purpose—only to leave just when he had started to fly high and wanted to hear that simple "Do not worry, boy"? Let's find out on the surface of tears and smiles—which is not even the start or the end, but the middle of something far more complicated but ends into someone else's epic. It's slow burn and contains intimate scenes after chapter 100. Dark themes included but handled with care. (My babies are THE MEN this world requires so yeah, I believe you would fall in love with them!) Bonus book: For The Four Arms, One Soul [a book inspired by Chóng Fēi's shelf! say thanks to him for being such a story bug!]

The House of Queens

They call them queens. Not because they wear crowns. Because no one dares tell them no. Celeste and Claire were raised in a world where power belongs to the people willing to take it. One is ruthless with a knife. The other can smile across a room while quietly deciding how to ruin the man sitting opposite her. Together, they are almost untouchable. Until a raid on a human-trafficking operation leaves them with two unexpected complications. Two men. Alec and Jace were never supposed to become part of their lives. They were supposed to be loose ends, dangerous only because a powerful man named Dario Kade wants them found. One carries a secret left behind by his dead father. The other is hiding an entire life behind the quiet face of a driver. Neither man asked to be taken. Neither expected to stay. And neither expected the women holding them captive to become the people they could no longer imagine living without. But there is more behind their kidnapping than either sister realizes. Kade has been searching for something for years. Something recorded in a ledger. Something connected to a dead man, a buried secret, and the people he has already killed to keep it buried. Now the Queens have it within reach. Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. And in their world, caring about someone is perhaps the most dangerous weakness of all. Because when the people you love become your greatest vulnerability, you have to decide what you are willing to destroy to keep them. Some women wait for someone to save them. These women became the ones everyone else needed saving from.

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

Douluo Dalu : Blue Silver Emperor Douluo

He traveled through Douluo and became Tang San's brother, Tang Chuan. He only awakened the Blue Silver Grass martial soul, and his innate soul power was just level one. Tang San was blind to the fact that his Blue Silver Grass was actually the top-level plant-type martial spirit, the Blue Silver Emperor, and that its greatest advantage was its vitality. Under the instigation of Yu Xiaogang, Tang San developed his Blue Silver Grass into a useless martial spirit that could only entangle and control. However, Tang Chuan chose a completely different cultivation path. His Blue Silver Grass wasn't the control type but the life type. He even created his own unique training system for Blue Silver Grass: the Wood Release Technique! A few years later, the two brothers reunited. Tang San was shocked to discover that his brother wasn't the "waste" that Yu Xiaogang had claimed he was. Instead, Tang Chuan was a genius soul master with ultimate attack power and endless recovery. He could even bring the dead back to life! Tang San: "How could this be? We both have Blue Silver Grass spirits, but why can Tang Chuan's be used to heal, attack, and control?" Master: "How could there be a problem with my spirit theory? Tang San couldn't beat Tang Chuan because of his own faults. Have you been practicing seriously over the years?" Shura God: "The damage I've caused isn't as much as the blood he's recovered?" Tang Hao: "Tang Chuan is my son, not Tang San!" Many years later, the Blue Silver Grass reappeared on the continent in a completely new form. This time, it was no longer a useless martial spirit. It was a top-level martial spirit that was unrivaled in the world and had both offensive and defensive capabilities! --------------- Check out advanced chapters on : patreon.com/Veni_V

Cryptomining Supervillain

Wondered if a cryptomining app would make you a Superhero..or villain? Damen Dark is an unfortunate orphan trapped in a cruel household, forced to endure the abuse of his uncle, his family, and a world that seems determined to break him. One ordinary day, he receives a mysterious link on his phone advertising a new app—DemCoin, a cryptocurrency mining program. Damen knows it’s probably a scam. But curiosity gets the better of him. At first, the app seems harmless. It “mines” coins by targeting living beings—stray animals… and people. With little expectation, Damen uses it as a private outlet for his bottled-up anger, siphoning coins from those who torment him: his family, his classmates, the bullies who rule the streets. It feels like justice. It feels good. But DemCoin is far more than a mining app. As Damen accumulates enough coins, hidden features unlock—features that allow him to target individuals and steal their powers. What begins as survival turns into temptation, and temptation into transformation. With every stolen ability, Damen grows stronger… and more dangerous. Now faced with unimaginable power, Damen must choose who he will become. Will he take revenge on a world that never showed him mercy, or rise as a hero to protect it? The truth lies somewhere in between. In a cruel twist of fate, Damen soon realizes the irony of power: the stronger he becomes, the greater the threats that hunt him. And worse still, DemCoin is not just a tool—it is a force, subtly guiding his path. Whether he knows it or not, the app isn’t shaping him into a savior. It is forging a supervillain. And Damen Dark may have no choice but to become exactly that.

Curse Of The Immortals

In a world ruled by ancient clans and a mysterious system that controls balance itself, peace begins to collapse the moment a forbidden symbol appears in the sky. The five great clans—Ignition, Cryomix, Shadow, Soulhall, and Aqualis—stand united for the first time in centuries, sensing the arrival of something the world was never meant to witness again: Eclipse. Amid the growing chaos lives Kael, a cold and feared young man carrying secrets even the clans cannot understand. Beside him is his playful younger brother, Riven, whose laughter hides deeper loyalty than anyone realizes. Their lives change completely when Kael approaches Elara, a powerful Cryomix warrior haunted by fragments of a forgotten past she cannot explain. As hidden truths awaken, the world slowly discovers the terrifying reality behind the Eclipse bloodline—a lineage so dangerous that even the system itself fears its existence. Ancient wars, erased history, immortal enemies, and forbidden powers begin resurfacing one after another, dragging every clan into a conflict far beyond survival. At the center of it all stands Vireon of Eclipse, the man feared even by monsters. The deeper Kael descends into the truth of Eclipse, the more the world begins viewing him not as a savior—but as the next catastrophe destined to destroy reality itself. While divine forces, cursed immortals, and system authorities wage war to erase Eclipse forever, Kael faces a far more dangerous battle inside himself: Can someone born to become destruction choose humanity instead? As devastating wars consume the world and reality itself begins collapsing, Elara becomes the only person capable of pulling Kael back from the darkness threatening to devour him. Together, they challenge not only fate, but the very system that decides who deserves to exist. Binary is a dark fantasy action-romance webnovel filled with powerful clans, forbidden lineage, emotional character development, massive war arcs, mystery, sacrifice, and a slow-burning love story that grows in the middle of chaos. At its heart, Binary is not just a story about power. It is the story of a boy feared by the world… learning that even the strongest soul still needs someone worth returning to.

One Piece: Reborn as Luffy

I died. Got hit by three trucks. Apparently, some divine idiot named Kyle confused me with a mass murderer. The upside? I got to pick my reincarnation. I chose Luffy from One Piece. Not because I wanted to be a hero, but because I wanted the adventure, the freedom, and honestly? The waifus. Don't judge me. Now I'm seventeen, I'm made of rubber, and I'm sitting in a boat with a kid named Coby. I have Luffy's memories, his power, and all my own cynical, math-brain knowledge of the entire series. The goal? Become King of the Pirates. The problem? I know exactly how dangerous this world is. Admirals, Yonko, ancient weapons. I'm at the bottom of the food chain. So here's the plan. Follow the canon, mostly. Recruit Zoro, Nami, and the rest. But train smarter, unlock Haki early, and use every advantage my twenty-first-century mind can give me. I'll laugh like the original, I'll be the pervert everyone expects, but underneath the straw hat, I'm always calculating the odds. Shells Town is first. A pirate hunter, a tyrannical captain, and a deal with a desperate girl. It's a small start, but every king begins somewhere. Let's see if this mathematician can conquer the Grand Line. [Disclaimer One Piece: Two Piece Luffy is a fan-made work. The original One Piece series is the property of Eiichiro Oda, Shueisha, and Toei Animation. This story is written for personal enjoyment and is not intended to infringe on any copyrights. Look, we all know One Piece belongs to Eiichiro Oda, and he's a genius. I'm just a person with a keyboard and a very specific set of interests. This story is a transformative, work of fan fiction created because the voices in my head demanded it. It's full of cursing, fighting, and a protagonist with a one-track mind when it comes to treasure and women. If that's not your thing, the back button is your friend. If it is, welcome aboard.]
