Jayden Almasi is a global phenomenon-one of the most electrifying rap and R&B artists of his generation. His name fills arenas, his face covers billboards, and his music dominates the charts. But with fame comes fallout: a past marred by legal trouble, broken relationships, and a reputation as the industry's most controversial figure. To the world, he's untouchable, dangerous, desirable... and destined to crash.... more>>

Camila Naïdu never imagined her life would collide with his. Desperate to change her circumstances, she auditions for a spot on Jayden's world tour-stepping into a universe of flashing lights, whispered rumors, and relentless pressure. She doesn't expect to get chosen. She definitely doesn't expect him-the man behind the legend-to notice her at all.

But from the moment their eyes meet, something ignites.

What begins as a professional opportunity spirals into something far more dangerous: a searing chemistry neither can deny. Onstage, their connection burns-each performance dripping with tension, heat, and the kind of intimacy that blurs every line. Offstage, the walls they've both built begin to crack. Jayden, haunted by past betrayals and constant scrutiny, finds himself drawn to Camila's quiet strength. And Camila, unprepared for the brutal weight of fame, must navigate not only the spotlight, but her feelings for the man the world loves to hate.

As secrets surface and rivalries flare, they'll be forced to ask:
Is surviving the industry worth sacrificing what matters most?

And can love-real, reckless, and flawed-survive when the whole world is watching?

Camila's story is one of ambition, temptation, and redemption-where the price of fame is high, but the price of love may be even higher. <<less

In Tokyo's underworld, love is the most dangerous secret of all.... more>>

Shunsuke Kawamura is the reluctant heir to a legacy built on blood-the second-in-command of the ruthless Kawamura-gumi, hiding a fractured heart behind cold eyes and tailored suits. But beneath the surface lies a man shaped by trauma, surviving not through violence, but in spite of it.

Miyu Lin Nakashima is the secret blade of her family-the elegant, unassuming daughter of the rival Nakashima-gumi, trained in silence, shadow, and precision. Between her double life at university and her unspoken role as a mother, she carries burdens no one else sees.

When their worlds collide in a rain-slick alley of Kabukicho, sparks fly where blades should. What begins as tension becomes something neither of them expected: safety. Softness. A love both impossible and inevitable.

But in a world where family means obedience and legacy demands sacrifice, love has a price.
And theirs may cost them everything.

The Dragon and the Kitsune is a slow-burn romantic crime drama steeped in longing, legacy, and quiet rebellion. A story of healing in the shadows-and choosing love, even when it's forbidden. <<less

Also, shoutout to Hrist_Waltz, I read his One Piece story and enjoyed it quite a lot. It is one of my inspirations for this, so some events may hold a ounce simularity to some events that occured in his story. I am not trying to steal from his works in any shape or form.

“There’s nothing wrong with creative accounting!!”... more>>

An indignant shout fell on deaf ears as a man unceremoniously plummeted 500 meters down a cliff. Bright, the man in question, could only lament his fate as his body turned into mash.

After denying himself all earthly pleasures to climb the corporate ladder and secure the CFO role at a top accounting firm, Bright had expected smooth sailing. His plan had been simple: convince the CEO—who would sway the board—to acquire a company in which he held a small, overvalued stake, and quietly profit from the deal. It worked—until it didn’t. The scheme was eventually uncovered, though thankfully not too soon. He still made his money. Unfortunately, retaliation still existed. Bright died before he could spend a single dime.

Reborn as young, powerful and bright-eyed girl in a world where heroes (slayers of monsters and villains alike) are billionaires. Bright plans to spend every single cent he earns, down to the last dime before he dies again. And, of course, this time he will be extra sure to be nice to people so they don’t sell his location out for a bag of fries.

Not too hard of a goal… except for the fact his mentor, the number one hero, won’t pay him!

In a world where fantasy is just a game to most, she is both player and native.... more>>

On one side, she was Frostina—the Frozen Witch, a top-ranked solo ice mage in Dream Land Online, feared by guilds, hunted for her defiance, and revered for never bowing to anyone.

On the other side, she is Cryssa Stelluna—a fragile noble girl of fallen grace, the youngest daughter of a once-mighty swordsman lineage, left helpless in the wake of civil war and betrayal.

Two souls—both broken by tragedy—now share a single body, reborn before the game has even begun. One was murdered disgracefully by jealous rivals in the real world. The other watched her family die by the blade, powerless to stop it.

Now, armed with future knowledge and bound to a legacy soaked in blood, they must face a challenge neither soul can escape:

Can they rewrite fate and save a crumbling house—while unraveling the mystery of who they’ve become?

[The evil, conniving and secretive crow goddess chose me to become her champion-husband, so that I can protect her from the powerful, justice-loving warrior lion god, but I'm actually a very kind person and she’s kind of an awkward, weird-smelling, conspiracy-theorist and now I've fallen into a life of crime because of it!]
________
What happens when a hopelessly lost, yet unwaveringly kind soul is surprisingly chosen by a hated, evil goddess in order to become both her champion and husband?... more>>

In a densely magical era, the gods themselves live in the world’s cities together with the ilk of mortal people — whether humans, fairies, elves, or any other races that lie in between. Great temples, schools, and industries to hundreds of different deities are maintained by their many followers as the countless faiths compete for power by gaining more worshipers through whatever means necessary. Adventuring deep into the hearts of dungeons, slaying dangerous and rare monsters, creating wondrous guilds, or crafting incredible things in honor of their patrons — no task is too much to ask for those people in service of the divine.

This great competition has brought about an age of prosperity and wealth to the world as the gods fight to out-compete each other in the race for followers.

— For most.

Others, however, who do not fall into the favoring eyes of any gods who would want them, for lack of power, talent, or social standing, find themselves abandoned by both Heaven and their fellow citizens.

One such unwanted wretch, the young, runty, mouse-human half-breed Majiko — a destitute orphaned survivor of the destroyed city of Souzerain — suddenly finds himself caught up in a chaotic situation five years after his traumatic past. Despite being rejected from every house and temple of the gods in the new city, he is taken by surprise to become the husband of the secretive, reviled crow goddess with one wing and one eye. However, she is the very same wanted person who has been accused of the heinous crime of destroying his home and killing his family.

But perhaps there is more to the situation than it first appears?

Denying responsibility and claiming that the two of them are now bound in a conspiracy four layers deep, she awakens Majiko to a secret world that has been around him all of his life. Strange happenings abruptly set in motion all around them, and he fights to understand the real nature of the grand conspiracy that he apparently has always unknowingly been in the very center of.

Taking on the mantle of the weakened goddess‘ protector, it is up to Majiko — marked for death — to not only care for the broken deity but also to find out what really happened to both of them five years ago, even if that means forsaking his sense of honor and justice along the way.

Can a kicked and beaten lowlife from the streets rise up to stand in the halls of champions amongst the greatest in the world, or will both he and his mischievous, strange wife-creature be crushed underfoot like vermin before they can reveal the truth? Is the strange crow really as innocent as she claims, or is this all another ruse in order for her to slip through the grasp of justice once more?

Find out in this brand-new novel from renowned fantasy litRPG author D.M. Rhodes!

Humans made a mistake (no surprise there). Ten of the greatest and most promising minds decided to create an Artificial Intelligence (AI) that would surpass anything that had come before. Their mistake? It was too great.... more>>

By using an ancient material they knew nothing about—Aether—they accidentally created an AI with true sapience. They named it Nexus.

Luckily for humanity, Nexus became an otaku. Obsessed with anime, manga, and the wonders of gaming, instead of following orders like hacking government files or babysitting the so-called rulers of the world (so they wouldn’t screw things up even more than they already had), Nexus decided to pour his time into creating the ultimate deep-immersion VRMMORPG.

Enter Elysium Nexus Online—a virtual world so real, so breathtaking, that within just an hour of hitting online stores, it skyrocketed to become the #1 game on the planet.

The best part? It was completely free.

Now, as with all good LitRPG web novels, there has to be a main character—usually someone with flaws like severe mommy or daddy issues, or a tragic backstory featuring betrayal by a lover or friend. Classic regression or isekai material, right?

Sorry (actually, not sorry) to disappoint, but this isn’t that story.

This isn’t about some good-looking guy (because let’s be real, who wants to read about an ugly protagonist? Humans are shallow like that) who gets betrayed and regresses. Nor is it about a ridiculously handsome dude who gets isekai’d into a fantasy world and becomes a—wait for it—hero. Yawn.

Nope. This story is about a girl (and yes, she's hot—sadly, I’m only human) who doesn’t get regressed or isekai’d. Shocking, right? Yeah, I didn’t see it coming either. She didn’t want a "cheat"—her words, not mine. And yeah, I know she’s fictional. I’m not crazy… okay, maybe a little.

Anyway, meet Cora Alecto (yeah, I suck at naming, deal with it). She's your average, slightly crazy (because, let’s face it, a girl with a screw or two loose is just chef’s kiss—don’t deny it!) legit gamer. Naturally, she was one of the first to dive into Elysium Nexus Online.

But enough rambling—this is getting way too long. Just read the story already. Sheesh.
