The Valkyrie and her Servant are the Ultimate Duo!... more>>

The Ardor is a desolate wasteland operated by an order of assassins known as the Hidden Hand. Seiji Otsuki is tired of being one of their assassins, forced to be their murderous little puppet. The day he decided to cut his strings, they responded – by killing him! When his eyes opened again, he found himself sat before a girl named Cora Lambros who had only a single statement for him.

“You will be my Servant for the next thirty days.”

Unlike his life in The Ardor, Seiji had a choice: Become Cora’s Servant and help her become a Valkyrie, or go back to The Ardor and face the Hidden Hand!

Thank you for clicking this story! If the cover didn't give it away, this story is an anime-inspired action romance. If you aren't a fan of heavy romance/character-focused stories, you should probably avoid this one.

When Ftangu was chosen as the grad student assistant for an archaeological expedition into the Thornwood, she was honored and excited. When the expedition... more>> found that the ancient palace at the center of the Thornwood was completely intact, she was intrigued. When she found that the people of the palace were still alive, in suspended animation, and that only a young man of royal descent could wake them by kissing the sleeping princess, she had a choice to make. <<less

All living things have needs that must be met if they desire their life to continue. Such needs range from the universal requirement for sustenance, to the more specific, such as the requirement of all higher life to sleep, or even the esoteric, such as the requirement of a pain demon to inflict suffering. The ability to exploit those needs is what separates, to pick a random example, a successful summoner from the shrivelled (but very happy) corpse that had, a few minutes earlier, conjured up a succubus with no plan of how to control her.... more>>

The Cruithia Kingdom is well known by its neighbours (or at least, by the subset of them that aren't carbonised silhouettes) for exploiting such needs to bring a shining example of the world's apex predator under their control. For the past hundred years, anyone daring to encroach on the kingdom's territory has found themselves faced, very briefly, by a dragon.

But perhaps 'control' isn't quite the right word, and it's that very dragon that the kingdom's betrayed crown princess is going to need to convince to aid her if she ever wants her position back. A creature of selfishness and pride, evil by any human standard, and yet occasionally steerable by those who know the correct levers.

Not that convincing the dragon to help her take back her kingdom is her primary concern. That accolade goes to the need to convince the dragon not to eat her. Again.

This is a short story (8 chapters/17k words) about a betrayed princess and an evil dragon. Neither has a particularly great time.

After the massacre of her previous masters, Seul-Ki is transferred to the Royal Palace to work for Queen Bae Joo-Hyun--an ice-cold Queen with an unreasonable attitude. Despite the reputation, Seul-Ki finds the Queen to be an enticing mystery, a feeling that is surprisingly reciprocated.... more>>

Curiosity grows into passion, and a forbidden relationship begins to blossom between them amidst opposite forces: the Queen's duty to the King, a rising tension in the courts, and jealous wrath from the Concubine who vies for the King's attention. While Seul-Ki falls deeper and deeper in love with the woman she cannot have, the world around her spirals more and more into a political storm she cannot control. There is nothing she can do to protect the Queen, no matter how much she is willing to sacrifice for her.

The world is cruel, and the Queen's maid is powerless.

||A Korean historical romantic tragedy inspired by the iconic lesbian movie, The Handmaiden.||

There's this classmate, a blonde girl, who is the Princess of our kingdom, and she tries to bully me every day.... more>>

The problem is that she doesn't know how to; she's the most innocent little princess.

Her bullying consists of childish spell pranks that kids learn when they're 8.

So, I pranked her in return.

However, she had the audacity to prank me again, and this time it worked—I became genuinely irritated.

So, why shouldn't I bully her for real? <<less

August’s own Alpha pheromones are killing him, and he‘s running out of time. His last hope lays in finding an Omega whose pheromones can bond perfectly with his own, but that’s only step one.... more>>

Nevertheless, he’s thrown a last-minute lifeline: his execution will be postponed indefinitely as long as he uses his Omega pheromones to treat an Alpha with a rare autoimmune disease.

Are August and Galen bound together by an experimental treatment, a secret relationship, a scandal waiting to happen, or something greater than the sum of its parts?

In reality, in the king and his wives sweet façade, the wives hold the king hostage, their crazy love for him turns into a dark turn, killing Marten's entire royal bloodline, leaving him the crowned king, leaving his siblings and mother hostage to blackmail him to marry them, killing and extinguishing nobles who dare to retaliate against them.

Christmas depression is a frequent occurrence, and many people suffer from it. The protagonist of this story does too, but they choose a different and somewhat unconventional way to handle the season. When Duke Agarus, a member of the Ars Goetia and demon royalty in Hell, finds himself overwhelmed with the increasing traffic between Hell and Earth, he needs assistance. The only option is an Earth-born who carries the seed of Hell in them, and among the one thousand possible options, only one fulfills the requirements set by Agarus himself, King Bael, Lucifer, and St Peter. And amidst an episode of snowy depression, who could decline such an offer? This is not the conclusive story of the newest member of the Ars Goetia but rather a glimpse into their life between Hell and Earth.

Please keep in mind that this is more of a collection of interconnected short stories, not a traditional novel. The stories are all set in the shared universe of Hazbin Hotel and Helluva Boss, but some of the demonic lore is different to fit the plot.

A reverse type of Beauty and the Beast story.
Book 4 in TLCsDestiny Fairytale series... more>>

Princess ‘Medusa’, is already known as the Beast of the country of Melya. It seems she is untameable and resides in a place by herself. Being a representative of Melya she had indeed gone to the country of Commorda for the weddings of the royalty there, but she came back to her country with someone else…

Taking his brother’s place, Steven went with this Princess ‘Medusa’ and his world turns even more upside down. It was already a problem before he left, being on the brink of starvation and dehydration, abandoned and alone but when he went to the Princess ‘Medusa’s’ little castle, he came to know of a few things that had always been there to know, but he was just too closed minded to see.

Things are most definitely not as they seem, in more cases than one! It’s just like a whole lot of knots being untangled one by one as you find out what’s real and what’s not!

This is the fourth book in a series of Fairy tale books that I’ve created. This book is loosely following ‘Beauty and the Beast’. My books are a ‘reverse’ series by changing the gender, among other things, so there are indeed similarities but differences, but I do think that that makes these books unique! There’s no magic but the books are all linked together, so you can even read about ‘Steven’ in ‘Cid Rellah’, who is one of the stepbrothers…

Coulta was born with a curse, one that forces him to obey the commands of those with authority over him. At only five years old, his father gives him up into service of a powerful lord, hoping to give Coulta a better life. But it was a mistake. Varin turns Coulta into an assassin, someone who can't stop himself from killing even the most innocent person he was commanded to murder. Despite the pain of a life out of his control, Coulta does have hope; hope that he will one day meet the person his mother claimed would free him of his curse.... more>>

Wildas is the Crown Prince of Phelin. He has known nothing but luxury and comfort, not the pain and suffering of a cursed killer. He has no idea that his life is in danger, that assassins are lurking in the shadows of the next city he will visit on behalf of the Crown. Nor does he know that his very soul is tied to one of those assassins, a tie that not even death could ever break.

Together they will discover that even chance encounters have meaning, and that their own personal struggles are nothing compared to what is to come when their kingdom is launched into a civil war that puts all of lives in danger. Only by relying on each other will they have any chance of survival.
