Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

Born a prince of Manderana, he was never meant to live. On the night of his birth, the stars vanished, the moon disappeared, and the artifact of selection shattered—declaring his affinity as dark magic, a path unfit for a king. Spared from execution only by mercy, he was sentenced to exile. At the age of four, the unwanted prince was sent to the North—a land of monsters, demons, and endless war—armed with nothing but dangerous survival techniques and a monthly allowance that would end when he turned fifteen. No blessings. No hidden talents. No destiny written in his favor. Only observation, adaptation, and the will to live. This is not the story of a chosen hero. It is the story of a child who learned how to survive— and what that survival would eventually cost the world.

In a futuristic world where technology has reached unimaginable heights, a group of wealthy elites becomes obsessed with transcending humanity. Believing ordinary humans to be weak and fragile, they pour their fortunes into a secret project to create the perfect superhuman—one with immense power and the potential for immortality. To bring their vision to life, they recruit the world's brightest geneticists, biologists, and medical scientists. But such an experiment requires human test subjects. Disguising the project as a high-paying employment opportunity, they advertise across the globe, luring desperate people with promises of wealth and a better future. Among those who answer the call is Xia Zhao, a young woman born and raised in the United States. Working tirelessly as a waitress to support her gravely ill father, Xia sees the offer as her only chance to save him. Blinded by hope and driven by desperation, she signs up without knowing the horrifying truth. The last thing Xia remembers is arriving at a mysterious research facility, where she is told that everything within its walls is strictly confidential. Then... darkness. When Xia awakens, she finds herself emerging from a glass pod inside a ruined laboratory. The once-bustling facility is now silent, its halls littered with destruction and devoid of the scientists who once occupied it. Stepping outside, she is met with an even greater nightmare. The city has become a lifeless wasteland. Buildings stand abandoned, the streets are eerily quiet, and grotesque humanoid creatures wander aimlessly through the ruins. Confused and alone, Xia has no idea how much time has passed, what caused humanity's downfall, or what has become of the world she once knew. Now, she must embark on a terrifying journey to uncover the truth. What destroyed civilization? How long was she trapped inside that pod? Are there any survivors left? And above all... What happened to her father?

I caught my mate in bed with my twin sister on my twenty-first birthday. Selene thought tonight would be perfect—the night Caleb would finally announce their mating bond to the entire Crescent Pack. Instead, she found him tangled with Lila, her own sister, and their betrayal shattered everything. But the nightmare had only begun. Accused of treason she didn't commit, shot with silver, and left for dead, Selene did the unthinkable—she crossed into forbidden Nightshade territory. The land of her pack's most feared enemy. Alpha Damon Salvatore is ruthless, cold, and haunted by his own demons. He should have executed the Crescent wolf bleeding on his land. Instead, something stopped him. Something he couldn't explain. Until the bond snapped into place. The heavens paired him with the daughter of his enemies. Now Selene is trapped between two impossible choices: trust the mate who betrayed her, or accept the bond with an Alpha who should be her enemy. But someone wants her dead, and they won't stop until they destroy everyone she cares about. Poison. Conspiracy. Forbidden love. As bodies pile up and secrets unravel, Selene must find the strength to fight back—before the bond between her and Damon becomes the deadliest weapon of all. In a world where loyalty means everything and trust means nothing, can love survive between enemies?

Owen Colt didn’t ask to be reincarnated. And definitely not into the most chaotic, explosive universe of them all: the world of superheroes. No systems. No fancy nanotech suits. No powers (or so he thought)... Armed with nothing but the memories of a past life and a burning will not to die as cannon fodder, Owen made the only choice he could: train, harden himself, and survive. From childhood, every step he took was an investment in his future: intelligence, weapons, tactics, hand-to-hand combat, military strategy. He became the perfect soldier... only to walk away just before the world was about to explode. Because he knew that once caped gods started falling from the sky, the first to die would be the regular soldiers. His plan? Stay out of it. Don’t be just another name on a grave. His reality? A corpse at his doorstep, an assassin trained like a Black Widow, and a conspiracy that drags him straight into the deadliest chessboard in the entire Marvel Universe. Because sometimes, you don’t choose to be a hero. Sometimes, chaos chooses you. And Owen Colt... is more than ready to hit back. Quick Note: Yes, he will have superpowers. The story is based on the MCU, but I’ll be incorporating elements from the comics too, including certain heroes. I have no intention of making this a harem—unless explicitly requested. At most, the protagonist won’t have a fixed partner, but rather a “friends with benefits” type of relationship. DISCLAIMER: This is a work of fiction based on the MCU and Marvel Comics. I do not own the rights to Marvel, its characters, stories, or original concepts. All rights belong to their respective owners. The only original character is OWEN COLT, whose story and development are entirely my own. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com

She had no voice. He had no mercy. And neither of them knew the truth that was going to destroy everything. She is mute. She is trapped. And she is living inside a dead woman's life. Elena Brenette is twenty one years old and in love with a man who was never truly hers. On the night of her wedding she discovers the devastating truth — her fiancé and her own sister have been in love all along. She was never the girl he chose. She was simply convenient. Betrayed and broken, Elena drives into a storm soaked night in her wedding dress. She never arrives anywhere. On that same road two other women are running from their own disasters. Sarah Venzagrase — twenty one, pregnant, covered in blood — is fleeing a husband whose people have been sent to kill her. Phiona — also twenty one, bearing the exact same face — is on that road for reasons nobody yet understands. Three women. One face. One blood. One catastrophic collision. When the wreckage clears Phiona is dead — her body mistakenly identified as Elena Brenette. The world believes Elena is gone. Sarah vanishes into the darkness with her unborn child. And Elena — unconscious, still in her wedding dress — is pulled from the flames by the most dangerous man she will ever meet. Lucas Venzagrase. He calls her Sarah. She cannot tell him otherwise. Elena wakes up inside the wrong life. Trapped behind the iron walls of the Venzagrase estate — the most powerful family in the state — she faces a husband who despises her, a family that wants her gone, and a household that has already decided who she is. She cannot speak. She cannot explain. She cannot say the three words that would change everything. I am not Sarah. Every attempt to communicate the truth is read as guilt and madness. The more she fights the deeper she sinks. She is a prisoner without chains — held captive by a name, a face, and a silence no one bothers to understand. But Elena Brenette did not survive a collision that killed one woman and swallowed another just to disappear quietly inside someone else's story. She will find a way. Even if she has to do it without a single word. What no one knows yet — not Elena, not Sarah, not even the man hunting for answers — is that the three women on that road were not strangers. They were triplets. Separated by a broken past. Reunited by a catastrophe. And someone powerful made sure they never found each other. That someone is still watching.

tale of a 16 year old boy lifes

Synopsis – King of Harem Kael was an ordinary young man from Earth who lived a simple, unremarkable life until a tragic accident ended it. Instead of finding peace in death, he awakens in Elyndor, a vast world where magic, dragons, ancient kingdoms, and forgotten legends shape the fate of every living being. Chosen by the Goddess of Destiny, he inherits the legacy of Aetherion, the greatest kingdom ever to exist, which fell five hundred years earlier after a devastating betrayal from within and an invasion from powerful enemies. Upon his arrival, Kael awakens the Royal Covenant System, an ancient power created for the rulers of Aetherion. Unlike ordinary systems that reward endless battles and monster hunting, the Royal Covenant System measures a king by his character. Authority is earned through leadership, justice, wisdom, sacrifice, and the trust of others. The more people willingly follow him, the stronger both Kael and his kingdom become. Every village he protects, every promise he keeps, and every alliance he builds unlocks new royal abilities and restores fragments of Aetherion’s forgotten glory. History remembers Aetherion’s rulers as the “King of Harem,” claiming they surrounded themselves with beautiful women for pleasure. As Kael uncovers the truth, he discovers that the legend is a distortion. The so-called harem consisted of seven extraordinary women who ruled beside the king as equals. Each possessed a Royal Throne representing a pillar of the kingdom—War, Wisdom, Nature, Commerce, Justice, Shadows, and the Crown. To restore Aetherion, Kael must earn the trust of their successors through courage, compassion, and unwavering resolve rather than force or manipulation. His journey begins with Lady Elara, a mysterious Grand Archmage who becomes his reluctant guide. Along the way, Kael encounters warriors, queens, scholars, dragons, elves, spirits, and nobles, each carrying ambitions, burdens, and secrets of their own. Some become trusted allies, while others challenge his ideals or seek to exploit his growing influence. Every companion has a purpose beyond romance, shaping both the kingdom and Kael’s understanding of what it truly means to rule. Meanwhile, powerful enemies sense the return of Aetherion’s heir. Corrupt kingdoms fear the restoration of an empire that once united the continent. A fanatical church seeks to erase the royal bloodline forever, while hidden organisations manipulate history from the shadows. Unknown even to Kael, the mastermind behind Aetherion’s fall has spent centuries preparing for his return, believing the Last King will either complete a prophecy or destroy the world. As Kael gathers allies, restores forgotten cities, and awakens the Seven Royal Thrones, he learns that rebuilding a kingdom requires far more than strength. Every victory demands sacrifice, every alliance carries a price, and every decision shapes the lives of countless people. Standing between hope and ruin, Kael must prove that a true king is not defined by the crown he wears, but by the people who choose to stand beside him. His greatest battle will not be against monsters or rival kings, but against the darkness that once destroyed Aetherion from within.
