The Emperor Class, a unique character class, gifted its user the power to summon loyal soldiers to fight in one’s name. His newfound powers saved Dreu from the attack but this was only the beginning of the demon invasion.

Dreu, along with others displaced by the conflict, found himself heading towards the capital which was rumored to be impenetrable. <<less

After learning about my girlfriend's infidelity, I got drunk and woke up in the world of the novel NC-17.... more>>

I became a character who is not even included in the extras of the novel — the useless and unnecessary daughter of the Duke de Valt. However, I didn't care about it, because I knew what this world was waiting for ahead.

Soon the Dallas Empire will be mired in chaos, and in order to survive it, I decided to sit quietly in the estate enjoying a luxurious life. Everything went according to plan, until one day I made just one fatal mistake.

A year after my rebirth, I accidentally found a girl in the forest. Out of pity, I sheltered her and made her my servant. We lived together until I found out that this is the main villain who was supposed to die at the end of the novel. But because of my interference, the plot of this damned book continued with me!

I urgently have to run! But where…?!

After all, this crazy woman is now stalking me.

«Where are you going, lady?»

— I… just went out for a walk.

— Take a walk? The border of the empire is not the best place to walk. Let me walk you back.

With the sword in her hand, I didn't have a chance to refuse.

WARNING*

Dear Reader,

The upcoming novel follows the story of a yandere woman who, despite her menacing persona as a gangster, has a strong and passionate love for her husband. These chapters feature dominant themes, sensitive subjects, and explicit content. If the dominant nature of the woman makes you uncomfortable, I kindly advise to refrain from continuing with the novel.

Thank you.
__________x__________x___________x__________

"Who are you?" I asked the woman who sat a few meters away from me.
"Your wife," she shot back at me.

Stunned, I asked further, "My wife?" I mean, what the hell?

"Cut the crap, I listed some points in this document. You better abide by them." She threw a document filled with clauses.

"What the fuck, at least tell me your name?" I asked, with fear floating before my eyes.

"Shanaya Jonas," she asserted.

"Shanaya, the devil woman of the underworld of Nivea?!" I plopped down with utter fear and disbelief.

No one knew the devil woman who ruled over the entire Nivea with a sword in her right hand and decapitated her opponents.

Everyone feared her dominant nature because she never tolerated nonsense within her domain. Even the highest government officials posed no threat to her, as she never crossed the government's boundaries. The women in Nivea were bold and straightforward towards men, as they received support from this deadly woman whom every man assumed to be innocent, but was really a she-devil in disguise.

"Please don't kill me, I haven't committed any sin," I pleaded, bowing before her.
"No, you haven't, but you've captured my heart, honey. So now I own you, and if you ever try to escape from me, pray that the consequences won't befall you too soon." She gently bit my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

Will Ryan continue his journey of love or will he escape from her? This journey contains love, hatred, pain, and pleasure. <<less

*The above is the novel blurb for the first book of this series. Keep in mind that this is a tragic, grimdark progression fantasy, so there are many sad moments that help to characterize the protagonist throughout the series. As for the tags, while there are a fair amount of "ecchi" moments and multiple love interests, they're not a central focus of the story. <<less

In a twisted version of the Old West, where Native American fables come to life, the land is teeming with blight and cessation. Skinwalkers, Bakwas, Urayuli, and even the dreaded Wendigo roam freely, constantly terrorizing humanity. In this unforgiving landscape, survival becomes the supreme dream, luxury an impossibility.... more>>

But hope lies in Ether, an eccentric substance that defies reason, and Sigils, granting individuals extraordinary abilities. So, as men and women from the burgeoning East venture into the treacherous West, they must navigate the nightmares that lurk within the wilderness and the horrors from above, below, and within.

Survival becomes a battle for the mind, body, and soul. Each step must be taken lightly, lest they fall prey to a grim fate—a forgotten corpse, a demon's feast, or the plaything of ancient and incomprehensible beings.

Fools tread where angels fear to gaze, yet not all fools let themselves crumble. Some are simply too stubborn to break.

What to expect

Fights - This world is a violent one, so expect gore, killing, and plenty of combat. But that's not all there is.

Adventure - A vast world that is centered on the Wild West and that period of technology mixed with the supernatural in every aspect from guns to the government.

Progression - Both character-wise and power-wise throughout the story. This does not apply to just the MC. Anyone can grow. Even enemies.

Power System - I've tried my best to make a unique system with a bit of mystery to it. It takes effort, introspection, and experience to grow. And... a little murder. Powers are complex, vast, and have their own restrictions. Oh, and Gods might as well be eldritch abominations for the most part.

Also, in case any are curious, most creatures, monsters, demons, and the like are based on native American and just American folklore/mythology in general. If you are ever curious about where something comes from, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.

Have you ever loved a videogame so much that you wished you were somehow magically transported into it? Tough luck, this isn’t your typical isekai story where the protagonist ends up in a different world. The videogame becomes the new reality in this one. Features: a cute gay protagonist (and his handsome boyfriend), strong female characters (probably too strong), magic, huge fluffy wings and… did I mention BL?

***The Gender Bending Has Nothing To Do With The Protagonist***... more>>

Samuel Roland Raith is a White Court Vampire living his life on the run but is otherwise completely normal. He likes to watch movies, read books, play video games, and feast on the emotion of lust from those around him. His entire race has been wiped out and hunted down by a group of megalomaniacs from the Red Court of Vampires called the Volturi. So, as far as he is aware, he is the last of his kind. He spends his time roaming the world, going through high school and college, again and again, to feed and avoid ever making meaningful connections.

White Court Vampires are unique and very different from their more popular Red Court brethren. Free from bloodlust and able to walk in the sunlight, they live their lives almost as if they were completely human. Their only true weakness is the opposite emotion they feed on, in Samuel's case, love. If he ever were to find love—true love especially—he would be in for a world of hurt. It's a good thing true love is so hard to find!

His newest adventure is at a high school in Forks Washington, and he fully expects it to go just as the last 40 years on the run has. Feed off the lust of teenagers, live quietly, and move on after college. No worries, right?

A/N: This is a gender-bent Alternate Universe version of the Twilight books & movies with a mix of the White Court Vampires, themes, and organizations based loosely on The Dresden Files books. Not all characters will be gender-swapped, but many will be.

The romance will be MC and Alice - If you are looking for that ahead of time.
