In a realm of mortals, a monster was born. At first, it had only one purpose: to protect. To protect those who created it. To protect the family who stood beside it. To protect everyone, it could. To do so, the monster learned to wear a human face. For a time, the disguise was enough. Then the world took everything away. As loved ones died and dreams crumbled, a young man's scream echoed beneath the night sky—a cry of grief, rage, and helplessness. He did not kneel. He did not pray. He did not beg for mercy. Instead, he challenged the heavens themselves. And the heavens answered. Rejection. He who dares challenge the laws themself, his body was broken. His life ended. But someone beyond mortality took notice. "Interesting..." A gift. Or was it not? And so began another life. Another chance. Another tragedy. Reborn in a world where gods watch over mortals, devils shape destinies, myths breathe, and dreams become reality, he finds himself trapped in a cruel cycle. Being above delight and laughing over his suffering. As such, every happiness demands a price. Every bond invites loss. Every life ends in blood. Again. And again. And again. Yet the monster refuses to break. Even when shattered. Even when abandoned and forgotten. Even when the world itself demands his surrender. Is he even trapped, or does he allow himself to be trapped? With each reincarnation, something disappears, something reforms, and something new arrives. The line between man and monster is thin. How much suffering can a person endure before they cease to be human? How much anguish before a monster becomes a human? How many lives must be lost before compassion becomes obsession? How many deaths before a monster finally accepts what it truly is? This is the story of a creature that wanted to save everyone. And the countless lives he sacrificed to become something else. What is it that he finds at the end of his path?

There are many beautiful things in the world, but all of them need strength to protect. Witness the rise of Sato Kaede, from a lowly Team Rocket Grunt, to a name heard around the world. A journey worthy of a Legend! "In this life, I must control my own destiny and live a wonderful life." - Sato Kaede. ...................................................

Viola was once the pride of her pack, destined to rise above everyone on the day she received her wolf. Instead, that day marked her fall. She had been the villain in countless stories, untouchable and adored by the Alpha heir, until the night her wolf was supposed to awaken, and fate played its cruelest joke. She fell to the lowest rank in her pack, rejected by her sworn mate. Stripped of status, strength, and even her wolf, she was forced to live a life worse than that of an omega. Imprisoned and alone, Viola’s only hope of escape lay in finding her wolf, or her fated mate. Only, a dark past kept her powers dormant… and her fated mate didn’t want her. Sebastian Kade is powerful, ruthless, and chained to a past he refuses to release. Viola Linden does not belong in his world, and he wants her gone. Fate, however, disagrees. This fragile, stubborn girl refuses to leave his orbit. He does not believe in love. He does not want her. He has already lost too much. An Alpha who swore off weakness, hardened by loss and haunted by a prophecy that feels more like a curse, Sebastian is certain he will never allow another woman into his life. But the Moon Goddess is rarely kind. Viola carries something ancient within her, something dangerous, something powerful enough to defy him. Hate twists into desire. Desire ignites into fierce passion. And passion threatens to become love. But when Sebastian discovers what Viola truly carries within her, will it save him… or destroy everything he’s built? ~~~ WARNING: MATURE CONTENT! #Slow burn #Spicy #Morally Gray ML #Adventure #Angst

A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

Through the Sky Screen’s broadcast, Kaito summons heroes from other worlds and wields strange tools to twist reality itself. With the system he embraces the art of deception—fabricating half-true, half-false futures that even the wisest cannot ignore. Pirates, Marines, and Celestial Dragons alike are forced to accept these visions, no matter how absurd, as if stripped of every defense. In this false future, Buggy the Clown emerges as a nightmare reborn. After twenty years of secret training, his Devil Fruit awakening is said to hold enough power to shatter the Red Line. Former Shichibukai rally to his banner as sworn brothers, and even the Marine’s legendary hero Garp is proclaimed slain at his hands. Behind the laughter hides a vast conspiracy, one that threatens to upend the balance of the world itself.

Generally speaking, if I have to get reincarnated into a comic book world, I would hope to avoid the grim darkness of the DC Universe entirely. If I absolutely must end up in DC, I would pray to avoid high-risk death traps like Gotham City—famous for its "simple and honest" citizens. But if I’m stuck in Gotham? Please, at least give me a System. This kid just wants to survive. [Self-Made System Loaded. Please work hard to generate wealth. As the saying goes: Money is power. As long as you aren't penniless, you will always have a chance to rise.] Jude Sharp breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands together. At least he had a cheat code in this dangerous world. One month later. The Dark Knight swooped down from the night sky, crashing through the skylight. In mere seconds, the restaurant staff were left with broken bones and concussions. Jude stood on the sidewalk, staring blankly at the restaurant where he’d finally found a job. There went his workplace. There went his boss. And there went the salary he was supposed to collect tomorrow. "Where is my money?! Batman, I have a shift starting at 8 AM!"

On the anniversary of his 50th year of hatching, human hunters found the clan and slew them.

Vinny’s life is a cycle of guilt, shame, and failure. Trapped between a disappointed mother and a future he can’t face, even stepping outside feels unbearable. His only escape is Griffin, a magnetic, beautiful chef he has never met, yet knows almost intimately through his videos. To Vinny, Griffin is perfect. Too perfect. His obsession runs deeper than attraction, it’s a hunger he can’t confess, not to his family and not to anyone. One morning, locked in his room, Vinny gives in to his forbidden fantasy. But when the rush fades, he’s left with the same crushing truth: Griffin will never know him. Or so he thought. Because soon, Vinny’s obsession will no longer be one sided, and when their worlds collide, neither of them will ever be the same.

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

Heroes are born to save the world. Adrian Black was reborn to break it. ​As a struggling writer, Adrian knew the tropes: reincarnation, a system, a second chance. But the Multiverse Evil System isn’t a blessing—it’s a death sentence. Eight previous hosts have already been slaughtered by the protagonists of the worlds they invaded. Adrian is the ninth, and he refuses to be another footnote in a hero’s journey. ​To survive, he must not just act the part; he must become the monster. ​His first destination? The apocalypse-ridden world of Highschool of the Dead. But he isn’t a student fighting for survival. He is Masao Busujima—the legendary Sword Saint, the head of a powerful clan, and the father of the deadly Saeko Busujima. ​With the apocalypse looming and the boundaries of moral decency crumbling, Adrian looks at this new world not with fear, but with hunger. The zombies are mere background noise. The real game is power, control, and the accumulation of Sin Points. ​From the sanctity of his dojo to the chaos of the streets, Adrian will rewrite the script. He will claim the wealth, the status, and the "forbidden flowers" of this world. ​The hero saves the beauty. The villain claims her. .... ..... .....

A Love Born in Lies A love born in silence. A past buried in shadows. A heart caught between truth and illusion. --- I don’t remember who I was. Not the girl in the mirror. Not the life I left behind. All I know is this mansion… And him—Professor. My husband. Cold. Untouchable. Mysterious. A man who says I belong to him… Yet looks at me like he’s already lost me. He doesn’t smile. He barely speaks. But the way he watches me— Like he's guarding something he’s terrified to break— it haunts me more than the gaps in my memory. Then come the fragments. A sister’s voice. A forgotten diary. A flower shop. A crash. And the moment I start to remember… everything starts to fall apart. --- What if the man I live with is part of the lie? What if the truth is more dangerous than the illusion I’m living in? What if… the love I’m falling into is the one thing I was meant to escape?

The Good News: I was reborn into the Zenin Clan, one of the Three Great Families of the jujutsu world. The Bad News: I was born with zero Cursed Energy.
