Born a fatherless bastard and with an impoverished, ravaged Province to Govern, Nox ZaiWin has more than enough on his plate.

And so yeah, the last thing he wanted was to become some Celestial's Chosen One.

And is that even a Celestial? Hasn't the brat just murdered more than one-hundred of his men with a single scream? Aren't Celestials supposed to be holy, pure beings, that abhor all forms of death and killing?

No other choice! No matter how sinful it may be, the brat must die!

Snow has lived most of his life locked in a dark room, explored and sold for his miraculous blood. There are a lot of things he does not understand about the outside world. But one thing is certain. He does not want to have anything to do with some scary dark monster. He wants to be free! And he’ll do whatever it takes to reach his goal.

And yet … Shit! Aren’t they stuck together now? Their life-lines intertwined?

Wait! If the dark monster wants him dead, that’s easy enough to solve. All he has to do is to successfully kill him first!

** Can't promise it will be so forever, but, for now, updates every day! Thank you for reading! ♥ ** <<less

With trouble as her only constant bedmate, the only aim, after being exiled, was to spend her life in peace and relative obscurity. A chance encounter brought back memories of her last love. The more she pursued, the more question she faced and the people who were close to her are not what they appear to be. ... more>>

Even in exile, her constant bedmate would not stop. Now, being hunted, embroiled in an age-old conspiracy, torn apart by various factions, how is a lone drow to survive? Of course, by doing what she did best, raising an army. For the dark-elf Matrons have a nasty habit of not staying down when knocked. They rise up again and come back with fury.

______________________________________________________________Volume II______________________________________________

Things should have been easy for Rylonvirah. The exiled drow matriarch has finally reunited with the love of her life, Lyria. But from the north descends a new threat, the Cambion Warlord, in his bid for ascension, to claim the title of the demon lord, rallies his horde.

Will Rylonvirah and Lyria reforge the broken bonds between them? Will the Warlord drown the world in a sea of fire? While enemies both old and new beset Rylonvirah, her greatest obstacle is Lyria herself— and the pregnant secret that she harbours.

===== Series Info=======

The yuri/GL Is an **extremely slow** burn one.

This is the story of a man who made a lot of bad choices.... more>>

An American army engineer finds himself at rock bottom in Japan, but finally figures out a way to put his life back together. While waiting in an airport in Japan, he was hoping to reconnect with his ex-wife, repair his relationship with his daughter, and get his family back.

The plane never makes it to Japan.

Having reached the end of his rope, Ryan just can't take it anymore, and decides to end it all by stepping out into traffic. The only problem is that he stepped out in front of Truck-Kun on the prowl.

As Ryan awakens, he finds himself trapped in the midst of a Romantic Isekai Otome Game, a world he knows nothing about. To add to his troubles, he finds himself occupying the body of the school's social outcast, destined to be married to the villainess, who is on the verge of ruining her engagement with the crown prince and facing exile from the kingdom.

On top of that, Ryan soon discovers that he is not the only one who has been transported to this world. Someone else very familiar with the setting is trying to manipulate the world to their own benefit and in the process may change the genre from what should be a simple rom-com into a demonic apocalypse.

To prevent this, the Gods have given Ryan an offer he can't refuse.

Stop the end of the world and they'll help him find his family. <<less

“I was born with an extremely prestigious but combat-weak logistics class. As the son of the clan head and the next heir, that just wasn’t enough of an excuse to spare me from my father’s grueling training.

For in his creed the only strength that mattered was that grasped in one’s own two hands.

In my journey through the lands with my harem, I was grateful for his training as it saved my life multiple times when my girls weren’t there to engage in combat.

This is my story.”

Ophelia, the second daughter of Duke Criswell is destined to die engulfed by flames on the night of her 18th birthday. After dying 9 times to this unmerciful fate she loses hope and decides that from now on she will stop fighting her destiny, living her life until the day of doom lustfully and playing around with the high nobility puppets. Her first objective to start living her dream life is to get rid of her obsessive fiancée, Terrel Wharton that in her past lives ruined her dignity, however, as the chess pieces started to move, Ophelia catches the eye of her older sister's fiancée, Bradley Trace after saving an injured black kitten.... more>>

Preview:
‘So it’s either him or me...?’ the maid looks forward and sees the man's eyes compelled by horror. The slave was now grabbing him by the hair, forcing his body to be kneeling on the floor as his torso was widely exposed. 
“You said you would let me go!” the man screams at the top of his lungs.
“Isn’t that what I am doing? I am letting you go... to meet all the people you’ve killed,” Ophelia’s smile turns psychotic as her cheeks begin to blush underneath the bloodstains, “Can you hear their screams...? Because I can... And they are begging for your attendance.”

Sarah was the young miss of one of the strongest clans in the land. Ben was a sunny kid, despite his only family is his brother. Jed, a kid with a mysterious past, was alone in the entire world.... more>>

And now their lives converged.

How will they face all the dangers and threats on their paths?
Who will they believe? The hateful race that has been their enemy since memorial? The race that reclused themselves and agenda unknown? Or their own, who salivated for power and authority?
Will they have the heart to struggle and fight for the right thing?

...

Sarah looked at the bodies beside her. Both had glitters in their eyes. She let out an ivory grin and peered upward. They felt alone, sandwiched by the virgin earth and the vast heavens. Silence accompanied them, except for the bards of bugs. The grasses tickled their backs and their smiles blossomed like flowers. Three pairs of arms reached out to the starry horizon.

This is their journey.

Hello guys! This is my first time writing work and then publishing it on a platform. This story is a slow start; the problems didn't crop out until later. So can you please bear with it? But don't worry, the story started to pace faster after Chapter 10.

Jericho, the land of humanity, squirms in pain. Magic has been forbidden for so long in this so called "Age of Silence", that all Arcane knowledge has been presumed lost and irrecoverable, and the echoes of God's Will grow fainter with every passing year.... more>>

The sight of Demihuman caravans is less frequent every day, as the likes of orcs and elves have learned to no longer beg for help from those who despise them. Clearly, they can expect more from the voracious wild lands than from humankind.

Many have succumbed to despair, some driven mad by their fruitless efforts to bring back a Golden Age that they only ever read about in books.

And in the middle of it all, in an old chapel lost in the Eastern lands, young Gabrielle lives in complete ignorance. She is another orphan living under the mercy of the Church of the Saints; one bearing the mark of evil in her red hair, the telltale sign of a Witch.

In an Age of the Silent, the Prejudiced, and the Hateful, she clings to a single hope: that one day, be it in life or maybe after it all ends, she may find herself forgiven of her sin.

The sin of being born. <<less

Tyrone Johnson had everything: a bright future, a wonderful girlfriend, and supportive parents.
At least, that was until the day his mutant brother, Billy, was unjustly murdered by the police.
Tyrone's life was sent into a spiral of running from the law, fighting for a new home, and forced experimentation.
Until one day an experiment to awaken his latent mutant powers went extremely wrong causing an outburst that sent him across Universes into Earth 19999 aka Marvel Cinematic Universe. ... more>>

In this world, there are haves and have nots. The former are pureblooded humans, some of whom are capable of manipulating qi, the mysterious energy that flows through every living creature, to miraculous results that defy the laws of nature and physics. Wen Feili was one such cultivator. However, she allied with the have nots- the anthropomorphic hybrids incapable of channeling qi-and dabbled in forbidden demonic arts, seeking to change the very composition of reality. This did not end well for her, and she was consumed by her own flames. ... more>>

A decade later, far in the northwestern mountains, her daughter Wen Fengli is working as a lowly servant of the minor Shuangshan sect. In between sweeping the floor and avoiding bullies, she secretly trains with a wooden sword, hoping to become a warrior cultivator at some point in the future. However, since she's part-human, part-wolf, it's just a pipe dream.

....or so she bitterly thought. However, one day a mysterious amulet that belonged to her mother falls into her hands. A deranged old master, a terrible conspiracy, a mysterious past? None of that matters to tomboyish wolfgirl, who only seeks to become stronger. She embarks on a journey of adventure and self-discovery, towards the mysterious southern lands where pure demi-humans are said to live...as spectre of war once again envelops the world of man.

This is a Chinese-themed fantasy story set in a fictional world. You can classify it as xianxia, if you wish, but it's a rather low fantasy variant; the heavenly realm is silent, no one reached immortality in generations, and magical artifacts of old are locked away and feared. Magical beasts and spirits have been driven to the corners of civilization, and "ordinary" abilities such as flying or controlling swords through telekinesis are considered spectacular feats. The main plot of this book revolves around a kemonomimi girl who seeks power, no matter the cost.

Roman of House Trambelio, or Roman Trambelio for conventional reasons happens to be the object of disdain for many a people and rightfully so, born... more>> into a major magus family with a partially defunct leg and lacking one eye, Roman would no doubt be disdained by the mostly elitist and aristocratic Magi.
Maybe even thought of as a breeding mare. The fact that he was engaged already spoke volumes upon volumes regarding that.
But,
It wasn't as if all hope was lost. Yes he was slightly crippled and no type of healing worked but, had anyone sought to understand why it was so? If they did, did they ever succeed?
The truth of it was, they didn't.
Roman had died before and reincarnated, passed through the origin of all creation, the Root, retaining a self. Some part of his soul was sapped hence the dysfunctions but he'd gained much for it, a power that may shake the very world given time to truly manifest.
Question was, what would he do with it? <<less

Lilith Von Allistar has a singular goal she pursues with the fervor of a mad scientist. Immortality. She wants to see the end of the world as she knows it. See what the end of all humanity is like. She wants to see civilizations rise and fall with the times. ... more>>

Most of all she wants to see humans develop. Ever since she was a child she always wanted to know what it would be like at the end of the human race. Will they become deities? Creating their own universes and controlling the power of the sun with metal spheres like some of the history books attest they could.

Will humanity crash and burn before the finish line? If so how and why? Before everything is destroyed, Lilith wants to learn everything the world has to offer.

She wants to learn every skill, have every experience at least once and ideally interact with all the greatest figures of humanity. For that reason Lilith cannot die. She refuses to die.

Yet now she finds herself embroiled in a succession dispute between her siblings. Their fight over some gaudy chair is enough to endanger her life and that's too important to lose.

Yet Lilith finds herself in a pool of her own blood soon after the conflict starts. She was weak. Born with the curse of albinism Lilith can do nothing as she is murdered.

Lilith wasn't satisfied yet. She still needed to survive. She claws and scrapes at the floor leaving bloody hand-prints in her wake as she desperately tries to think of a solution. Any solution will do. She doesn't care what she has to become. She will see everything this world has to offer.

Which is when she's given a second chance. Upon her death she is contacted by Cognitionis a supposed sub-routine of some system. It notifies her and the rest of humanity that the isekAI project has finally begun to enter it's final stages.

Lilith is reborn as everything she wanted to be. Now she's strong, she's immortal and she's the progenitor of vampires. Lilith soon realizes she will need all the helpers she can get. She doesn't mind sharing immortality so long as she gets to see it all herself.

These new instincts though. Blood being the most delectable meal she ever ate and having the smell of a 5 star restaurant is fine by her. Why is her vampire side so arrogant and prideful though? What happened to never spending on vanity? Why is bowing her way out of a situation suddenly not an option? Lilith never cared about appearances or pride or 'the good of the race'. Why is she now forced to consider such things when they make staying out of trouble remarkably more difficult?

Even as a walking corpse Lilith can't just peacefully watch the world progress. The succession conflict is far from over, new forces are emerging and Lilith is apparently one of them. She'd do anything to survive yet her instincts tell her she should never bow to anyone, make a show of how powerful she is and spread her kind across the world like a plague.

She must now protect her immortal life, appease these new instincts and make sure she doesn't miss important events along humanity's journey. She doesn't want to be too distracted or this will have all been for naught. <<less

At the age of 32, Hilda was at the pinnacle of her MMA career. Aside from her ferocious fighting style, she was known for taking countless women to bed. Yet because of an unfortunate accident, she died during a fight.... more>>

When she opened her eyes, she discovered that the previous owner of her new body had been assassinated. It wasn't just the previous owner, but also her mother, the Emperor of Sunborne Empire's noble consort.

Her delight at being an imperial heir was fleeting. She was a futanari. Even though they were revered in the beast tribe, they were treated as a plague in human society.
They had stripped her of her title as the first imperial princess and abandoned her in a dusty corner of the palace. She didn't waste time resenting them; instead, she was accumulating all the knowledge about this new world.

She was devouring everything she could get her hands on, from politics to the art of war, history to business. From horseback riding to logistics, she mastered it all.

People thought she'd given up on hope. Alas! she was not a gracious individual. She was simply waiting for the right time to strike and reclaim everything that had been taken from her.

Whether it is by blood, friendship, or sex, she will conquer the world by any means possible.

If you had the power to change the world—would you try to?... more>>

In the year 2036 a young teenager, Fate Reylin, awakens a power that should have been scientifically impossible. He has long since believed that the world is a cruel place, and when he gains psychic powers, he feels that he can finally make the world a better place.

As he discovers over time, changing the entire world isn't a straightforward task. It's never as simple as just doing what you think is right. Fate realizes this as his actions have far-reaching consequences on the people, and world around him—especially on those who are closest to him.

Ultimately, Fate must come to terms with the fact that sometimes it's not your choice to make things better, but rather how you react to the world around you which makes all the difference.

This story follows the life of one man who seeks to change the course of history by any means necessary: and in doing so—he must face the responsibility of creating what he fears most. <<less
