The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

{{DARK ROMANCE}} ⚠️Warning: Mature content(18+) This story contains dark romance, possessive characters, questionable decision, and dangerously obsessive love. Expect morally gray men, intense tension, and scenes that may leave you questioning everyone’s sanity… including mine for writing it. ... Have you ever felt someone watching you… so closely that it feels as though your very soul belongs to them? Someone who would snap a man’s neck with his bare hands over a single whisper of disrespect… and lay the severed head at your feet as if it were the most precious gift in the world. Yes. That is my fate. My name is Adeline. A dying village girl with no crown, no power… and barely a month left to live. When a royal decree summons every eligible woman to the prince’s bride-selection ball, I have no desire to go. I have no desire to dream of a future that will never belong to me. But my mother insists. She wants me to see a brighter life than the one she was forced to endure. I never expected to be chosen. I never expected to survive the deadly trials. As the soon to be wife of Prince Nathan. To him, I am nothing more than a mistake dragged into the palace. His cruelty follows me through every corridor. He even once stripped me bare, leaving me to die in the rain. But I am not alone. Because every night… He visits my dreams. My terror. A voice that coils around my thoughts. A touch that never truly claims me… yet leaves my body trembling as if it already belongs to him. And in the daylight, there is the king. The vampire king. The king of Valempire. The most feared and ruthless ruler. A man whose gaze lingers on me far longer than it should. A man whose presence makes my heart race in a way that feels strangely… familiar. Perhaps it is only my imagination. Or perhaps some monsters do not wait in the darkness. And if a monster becomes obsessed with you… The real question is not whether you will survive. It is whether you will ever escape. {If you enjoyed stories like Married to the Devil’s Son, The Crown’s Obsession, or The Duke’s Masked Wife, then this story might be just for you.} Discord: thaymi_1 NOTE: The book cover belong to the author, do not reuse it.

WARNING: 18+ Smut, morally grey characters and mental health themes. Benji Forster was just a gay man in Chicago nursing heartbreak from his cheating ex and binge-reading BL to cope—including one Guideverse manhwa he absolutely hated. Then he died after a heated robbery. Instead of heaven, hell, or peaceful nonexistence, Benji wakes up in a different universe—inside the body of Ambrose Hale, the very Guideverse protagonist he couldn’t stand. As if that isn’t bad enough, he’s saddled with a sharp-tongued system called Aura, whose idea of “help” involves dragging him every chance it gets. Benji thinks he can survive transmigration. Until a young boy appears at his door. Claiming to be his son from an alternate timeline. Now reborn as Ambrose, Benji must juggle raising a child he never planned for, hiding world-breaking secrets, and completing his system’s ultimate mission: Seduce the Guideverse! One dangerously hot Esper at a time. And failure? Yeah, that's a no no.

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!” Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem: Ruining female characters. In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own. When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters. But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service. In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses. He never expected the universe to take him at his word. Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class. ⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥ ⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥ ⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥ Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme?

The man who refuses to leave his side. He looks at Julian like he’s everything. Like losing him once nearly destroyed him. He says they were in love. That Julian belonged to him.

And then someone calls him by another name. Locke. A name that doesn’t belong to the man Silas is trying to protect. But to someone far more dangerous. Because the deeper Julian looks, the more one question refuses to leave him: Was his memory taken from him… Or did he choose to forget? And if he remembers— Will he still be the one who needs saving?
