Anaya never imagined that one signature could change her life forever. To save her family, she enters a marriage contract with the cold, ruthless CEO Aarav Malhotra — a man who wants a wife, not love. As days turn into weeks, Anaya discovers cracks in Aarav’s icy exterior, while he finds himself drawn to her in ways he didn’t expect. Bound by duty, yet pulled by emotions, their arrangement blurs the line between contract and heart. Will their hearts survive the deal, or will the price of love be too high?

The night before her coronation, Princess Elara of Dravara made a mistake she could not take back. Her friends begged her to enjoy one last night of freedom before duty tied her forever. So she escaped the palace in disguise. One night. One party. One stranger whose touch she could not forget. She left before sunrise, thinking no one would ever know. But secrets always return. Weeks later, Elara finds out she is carrying the child of the man she cannot even name. And on her coronation day, as she prepares to wear the crown, fate plays a cruel trick, the same man comes back, not as a lover, but as an assassin sent to kill her. He almost ended her life that day. His blade touched her throat. But instead of striking, he whispered that it would not be today. Then he disappeared into the dark, only to return again, this time hiding among the men who wished to become her bodyguards. Now he stays close to her, walking beside her every day, guarding her in public, while secretly waiting for the right moment to finish the job. Elara now carries a dangerous secret: she is a queen with a crown on her head, a child growing in her womb, and an assassin always by her side. His hands once held her in passion, but those same hands were trained to spill her blood. Surrounded by enemies and trapped in lies, Elara must wonder, has she given her heart to her protector, or has she trusted the man who will one day destroy her?

Victor Malfoy is the elder Malfoy twin, a transmigrator from Earth, and unfortunately… someone who knows the entire Harry Potter plot. This should have made his life easy. It did not. Victor is stuck with a system called “Most Fortunate Person.” A system that proudly does absolutely nothing—except occasionally throw rewards at him. Yet for someone called “Most Fortunate Person,” Victor is spectacularly unlucky—always stumbling into trouble whether he wants to or not. To find out how his journey unfolds, and what’s really wrong with his so-called lucky system, follow the story. (Note: Except for the OC, I own nothing.)

The year was 2030 when dungeons descended and wreaked havoc across the world. Fortunately, along with the descent of the dungeons was the awakening of various people obtaining superpowers, allowing the world to barely defend against the worldwide threat. Five years later, Desther, a young man that only wants to watch anime and read online novels, awakened the SSS-Grade Talent, Ultimate Thief, allowing him to steal a target’s attribute in battle and making it his own. However, along with the overpowered talent, was an announcement he wished he never got. [You obtained the title, [Chosen One]] [Clear the dungeon or Die!]

The world’s population has been reduced to less than 500,000, but the only remaining traces of the apocalypse are the Elements–“Elements of Life,” many call them. Jelani is 18, but he’s already left one past behind and now lives as a soldier, fighting for the city of Hoodsale. Beneath the shadow of Mt. Hood, Oregon, he exists, going about his day-to-day life with the least enthusiasm possible. However, when he’s called on a mission to hunt down the criminals of this world–“rebels”–his company is caught off guard and torn to pieces. But Jelani survives, obtains the power of an element, and, with the world on the brink of a second disaster, he resolves to gain strength and make his existence known. All drawings (and the cover art) are drawn by me!

Atiya Pharasa, when he first isekai'd to Celeste, was called the Killer of Fate and was adopted into a powerful family. He had a mother who gave him everything — basically spoon-feeding him. However, things changed when he awakened his yaicraft. It was a space-based yaicraft, and to progress in it, vast mathematical knowledge was a must. Further, while coding a skill, he almost dissected himself and survived only by a miracle. However, some things happened and he gets isekai'd again to another world, where he was perceived as nothing more than a pig to be fattened up before being sacrificed at the altar. He was stripped of all privileges and imprisoned with his premature powers. What could he do other than accept his fate? ...Wait. He doesn't have fate. And more importantly — what was his plan? "Unfortunately for you all, I have also awakened a Sin while awakening my yaicraft. The Sin of Murder." "I can't help it, can I. I'll just kill everything that stands in my way back home." ***** What to expect: *Tactical fights *Consistent power system. *Worldbuilding. *Vast side characters. *Weak to Strong. *Local protagonist. *Tragedy. *Lores I am a fan of Berserk and Nasuverse, so be aware of the elements present there. I intend to fully make this dark and lore heavy like them. I will kill off even the protagonist if at one point, his death would serve a great positive shift in the story.

Manchester United, once a dominant force in world football, finds itself struggling under Erik ten Hag despite having the financial power to rebuild. Big-money transfers fail to restore the club’s glory, forcing Ten Hag to shift his focus to homegrown talent. Among the overlooked prospects in the U18 squad is Leo Calderon, a 17-year-old central midfielder buried deep in the pecking order. Lacking physicality and dismissed by teammates as weak, Leo endures constant ridicule from those who dominate with strength and athleticism. But during one ordinary training session, everything changes—Leo suddenly sees passing lanes no one else can, angles of play invisible to even the most talented prospects. Yet, there’s a problem. His vision surpasses his ability. The passes he attempts don’t connect, his technique unable to match his newfound awareness. Coaches dismiss his efforts as sloppy, and his struggles continue. But one unexpected observer—a visiting League One assistant coach—notices something different. He watches Leo’s movements, seeing potential where others see failure. As Leo fights to prove himself in an unforgiving system, the question lingers—can he refine his raw talent before the club moves on without him? ****************************** Also, all rights reserved for the companies and teams and also players I use in the novel since I don't know how image rights work and I'm too lazy to search it up on Bing-, I mean google Also, character arts are not mine or AI-generated.
