Love in the Shadows _Unwavering Love

Some stories don’t end with love. Some hearts never heal. And some people love so deeply, it becomes fatal. Ayla Wilson loved Silas Williams for twelve years. For twelve years, he never looked back. She never asked to be chosen, only to stay close. Her love was quiet, invisible, and consuming. She learned how to exist in his shadow without touching his life, how to survive on distance without hope. Until the night she ran. A wedding gown soaked in rain. A locked door. A father who sold her future without remorse. With nowhere left to go, Ayla chose the one place she never should have, Silas. But the man she returned to was no longer a distant memory. He was controlled, restrained, devastatingly silent. He let her stay. He protected her. He never promised love. A marriage formed without desire. A home built on unspoken care. A devotion that grew deeper in silence, until one loss shattered everything. And Ayla learned that "loving someone who cannot say it back can destroy you just as completely as being abandoned." Silas Williams was never cruel. That was his greatest mistake. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t abandon her. He didn’t betray her love. He simply believed that staying was enough. Silas protected Ayla in the only ways he knew quietly, responsibly, without asking for anything in return. He gave her shelter, stability, and a place beside him. He believed love was something proven through actions, not words. He never realized that silence can wound deeper than rejection. He never understood that for someone like Ayla, love needed to be seen, spoken, and held before it was too late. And when everything finally broke, Silas learned the cruelest truth of all: "You can do nothing wrong and still lose everything." Redemption did not come with grand gestures. It came with regret. With absence. With learning how to love someone who no longer belonged to him. Cause some realizations arrive only after love is gone. And some men spend the rest of their lives chasing the damage they never meant to cause.

The Crowned Greed: Transmigrated into a Demonic Dragon

"Is this death?" Food. Water. A blanket. A roof. For a crippled, homeless boy like Dante, that was all he ever wanted. But until his last breath, he couldn't live the happy life he dreamed of. When he finally accepted death, he opened his eyes only to find himself in a supernatural world. A world where logic doesn't make sense and where magic isn't fairytales. And his body? It's the body of a real demonic dragon rather than his old one. Before he could understand what was happening, a spinning axe buried itself into his skull… yet he stayed conscious. Feeling that sharp, immense pain, Dante realized—he was being hunted. Hell had just begun. But whether it was his or his enemies'… no one could tell. ¢¢¢ Regarding the MC's morality: he'll keep changing. I can only promise that by the end of the story, he won't be a dark villain. Regarding r18: It's mainly for the gore and dark theme (medieval settings with no religions, I want to take my freedom in writing this). If you're here for smut, then you can leave. anything like smut will be described in a suggestive way or only mentioned quickly without description (and that's only if it's necessary, I hate smut and I won't fill the story with fanservice) Regarding romance: Slow romance (and a bit late), No Smut, Single FL, No Ntr, No Yuri, No Yaoi, No Useless FL, probably no Tsundere (Idk how to write a good tsundere fl).

Bloodsa Bath

When my eyes fluttered open, I was tied to a toilet and the vampyre duchess was staring daggers at me, her delicate foot resting on my shoulder. WHAT THE FUCK??? ~ Vesper is a fallen noble, a former scion of the legendary Bloodvaine Ducal Family… famous for their heroic feats… known across the universe as the epitome of dread for the Vampyres, a nocturnal species locked in an eternal war against humanity. Kicked out for ‘allegedly’ sexually assaulting the princess that was supposed to marry his eldest brother… Vesper finds himself in a situation where a Vampyre Monarch desires him as a tool against humanity itself. However after she sires him into a Pureblood Vampyre… Vesper awakens his past life persona as Mazzy Blackrosé, the Dreamer… a rock star who saved humanity from the AI Dystopia that it had become in 2093. Thrown into Troy, a battleground where heroes are forged from scratch… soldiers of humanity with burning hatred for the Vamps… Vesper must survive as a double agent! The reward? THE VAMPYRE DUCHESS WILL SIT ON HIS FACE! ~ Author Note. Hey guys, its _oinkchan. This is my new novel, Bloodsa Bath. The name is inspired by the movie Black Sabbath, a vampire flick. The other inspiration especially for the main character is obviously if it wasn't apparent... the prince of darkness- Ozzy Osborne and yes... the band, Black Sabbath. This novel will be delving into a far far far not galaxy but rather the future. If you are an avid fan of fantasy then I recommend reading this ambitious premise that I have built. Sci Fi and Fantasy. A combo unlike most. If you enjoy novels such as Dune... Game of Thrones and even popular webnovels such as Shadow Slave, Author's Pov... then you may truly enjoy reading this. Last but not least, especially those readers who have read my works before... You know what I am talking about ;) What is _oinkchan without a well-developed romantic harem and a little bit of smut here and there heehee. I'm an experienced writer and I hope you enjoy this work of mine. Love y'all. Thankyou.

I, Rai Shinsei, was one of them as I would hear many stories of heroes from the townsfolk, although, the source of my inspiration was from my two loving parents, who were idolized by the townsfolk as their strength and kindness left me captivated, but despite my dreams, fate had a different future in store for me as tragedy soon occurred, changing my life forever. On my sixth birthday, I witnessed a catastrophe. My once tranquil hometown, which housed kind hearted souls was ravaged by none other than a hero, whose destruction knew no bounds as any structure within his sight was obliterated while every being within my hometown was mercilessly slaughtered. The screams and cries of those I once knew left me in a trepidatious state, but my nightmare was far from over as the remaining survivors was none other than my parents, who were forced to say their goodbyes as the hero killed them right before my eyes, sparing only me and on that day, I was never interested in becoming a hero anymore. Selling my soul to vengeance, I made a vow. To destroy the Hero Association. Although, everything changed once I was forced to enroll into a place I would have never imagined. A Hero Academy.

Transmigration:The Villain Wants A Happy End Without His BeastHusbands

After finishing a tragic novel where the villain is betrayed and killed by his own beast husbands, Li Wei does what any reasonable reader would do. He rants about the ending. Then he gets hit by a car. When he opens his eyes again, Li Wei finds himself inside that very novel, reborn as Su Ningyan, the future villain destined to walk a path of madness, war, and blood. Ten years before his fall. Ten years before his death. In the original story, Su Ningyan’s unstable phoenix beast core drives him toward forbidden power, turning him into a feared villain who ultimately dies at the hands of the men he loved most. This time, Li Wei refuses that fate. He will avoid the villian arc. He will heal his beast core. And he will stay far away from the four terrifying beast princes who will one day become his husbands. Unfortunately, fate has other plans. The academy meant to heal him becomes a battlefield of tension, rivalry, and instinctual bonds. The beast princes notice him far too early, and the more Su Ningyan tries to escape the plot, the tighter destiny coils around him. Because in a world ruled by beast bloodlines and ancient bonds, some connections cannot be severed only delayed. And the husbands who once killed him… may not be willing to let him go again. **** Excerpt Su Ningyan didn’t know where he was. At first, he thought he was dreaming. His body felt warm... too warm... and the scent in the air was unfamiliar, sharp and clean, like lightning after rain. He turned onto his side. And froze. A pair of golden dragon eyes stared back at him from inches away. The man was breathtaking. Long black hair spread across silk pillows, sharp features sculpted as if carved from jade. His presence alone pressed down on Su Ningyan’s chest, heavy and suffocating. His face went pale. “What the—” “You’re awake.” The man smiled faintly. Jun Haoxuan. Azure Dragon Clan. Future Beast King. And, according to the book, one of the men who would eventually become his husband. “Did you sleep well?” Jun Haoxuan asked calmly. Su Ningyan’s eye twitched. He was supposed to be avoiding them. So why was he waking up in the dragon prince’s bed?
