Magic has existed since the dawn of humanity, intertwined with the development and technological advancements throughout the ages. Over the centuries, different cultures around the world have established their own laws, regulations, and social behaviors regarding the supernatural. In Asia, a network of artificial islands known as the "Golden Cages" was created to contain magicians and individuals with supernatural abilities deemed dangerous to society. It is on one of these islands that our story begins, following Hajime Kamijou, a 17-year-old boy who stumbles upon the power of the "Grimoire of the Fallen"—an artifact of unfathomable and immeasurable strength. This newfound power becomes a beacon for Hajime, guiding him on a treacherous journey steeped in revenge, personal growth, and the struggle for survival in a ruthless and unforgiving world. As Hajime navigates the complexities of his abilities and the dark forces that pursue him, he must confront not only the external threats that await him but also the shadows lurking within his own heart. His quest will challenge his ideals, reshape his destiny, and reveal the true nature of magic in a world where power can both uplift and destroy. https://www.royalroad.com/profile/676933

**Warning:** This book is pure, unfiltered spice. Explicit. Filthy. Addictive. If you blush easily, run. If you want to feel every thrust, every moan, every squirting climax… turn the page. Elvis Rick was just another overworked, ridiculously hot New Yorker, six-foot-tall, lean muscle, killer smile, and zero fucks left to give, until a glowing blue system ripped him out of his Manhattan cubicle and dumped him buck-naked into the fantasy kingdom of Elyria. Now the only way to survive is to complete the most depraved “Mudane Ascension” quests imaginable. **“Make her soak the sheets.”** **“Fuck your elf maid senseless in doggy style until she screams.”** **“Tie up the spoiled noblewoman, edge her for hours, then make her squirt so hard she forgets her own title.”** Every orgasm he wrings out, missionary, BDSM, rough, sweet, male or female, levels him up with god-tier strength, enchanted gear, political power, and raw magic that makes kings tremble. Sex isn’t just fun anymore. It’s currency. It’s survival. It’s the ultimate power. But the system is a double-edged blade. Every high-level climax sends shockwaves across the continent. Assassins creep from the shadows. A jealous Collector hunts system users like Elvis to cage them forever. A mysterious Watcher stirs in the void, growing angrier with every forbidden moan. Nobles scheme to weaponize him. His growing harem, possessive elf maid Lia, addicted redhead noble Zara, deadly assassin Nyx, and a dozen more craves him so fiercely they’ll kill to keep him. Elvis thought isekai meant swinging a sword and slaying dragons. Instead he’s conquering an entire world one dripping, gasping, body-shaking orgasm at a time. Friends become lovers. Lovers become obsessed. And the more pleasure he gives… the closer the danger gets. In a land where pleasure is power and every quest paints a bigger target on his back, can Elvis become the ultimate **Survival Guru** or will the next mind-blowing fuck be his last? Welcome to Elyria, baby. Try not to come too fast.

WARNING: DARK ROMANCE "Who knew that something so beautiful could come out of filth like Edmund?" He says, as he runs the backs of his fingers up and down my bare skin. Goosebumps spring up immediately. "Who would have imagined," he says slowly, savoring every word, "that something so exquisite could be born from a man as vile as your father." His eyes trace me with deliberate leisure, stripping, measuring. I felt skinned under his gaze. "A rapist," he continues lightly, as if reciting lines from a book. "A butcher of children. A coward who kills pregnant women and plunges his weapon into a friend's back." He stepped closer. Too close. "And yet," he murmurs, voice dropping, "he left this behind." His smile sharpened. I can't move. I can't breathe. "You should be grateful," he goes on, almost kindly. "If you had been born uglier, I would have killed you like the rest." A pause, then his hands on my cheek, gentle. "But beauty like yours," he adds, eyes darkening, "is worth breaking slowly." * What is worse than being rejected once? Being rejected two more times. Xira Valeen is a defective wolf who never thought she would get a mate. So when she is mated by one who only wants her for her birthright while his brother only wants her because she rises an uncontrollable hunger in him, she is doubtful. Then they reject her, she accepts quietly. Their enemy steps up and claims her as a mate just to use her against her former mates then he also rejects her. Three times she is rejected. Shunned and alone, Xira disappears and when she returns all three Alphas kneel before her, begging for forgiveness and swearing that they want and love only her. Hardened by their betrayal, she ignores them and joins the Mating Hunt, intent on finding the mate who can save her... However, the Moon goddess sure has a cruel sense of humor, or can this time be different?

He killed her father. She vowed to kill him. General Cassian Varro secured the throne with a single execution. Nyxara Kahem lost everything in that same moment. But instead of exiling her, Cassian keeps her close under his roof, under his protection, under his control. When rebellion threatens to tear the kingdom apart, the council demands a political union. Marriage is the only way to silence the south. Hatred becomes proximity. Proximity becomes tension. And tension becomes something neither of them can afford. Nyxara carries a power older than the throne itself. Cassian is immune to it. In a palace built on blood and strategy, love is not weakness. It is war.

The Hall of Valhalla the great hall of heroes and legends from the Age of the Gods to the Age of Humanity is now at war. Legends, heroes, and villains clash against one another for a divine opportunity presented by the Courts of Heaven: the chance for one soul to transcend mortality and become immortal an opportunity never before granted. Amidst this cataclysmic war stands a single witness. His name is Darlington. Summoned by the Courts of Heaven against his will, dragged from the depths of his emotional turmoil and grief, he is forced into Valhalla not as a warrior, but as an observer condemned to bear witness to the war of legends, the battles of the past, and the fate of eternity itself.

Luc was chosen by a goddess to kill the Demon King. He accepted before she could explain the details. That was his first mistake. The world he arrives in doesn’t welcome him. A jungle filled with monsters. Creatures that hunt, adapt, and don’t make mistakes twice. And a System. Not a guide. Not a safety net. Not even helpful. It watches. It evaluates. It judges. And when Luc needs it most—it refuses. With no power, no advantage, and no second chances, survival becomes the only goal. Because in this world, strength isn’t given. And whatever the System is… it was never meant to help him.

Zekai is twenty-two and has already decided that life is meaningless. He has no job, no ambition, and no interest in the future. While others chase purpose, he watches from the sidelines, convinced that the world runs on illusions people are too afraid to question. Then his grandfather dies during a circus performance. The death is ruled an accident. The silence afterward is not. Something is left behind—something old, something deliberate. From that moment, Zekai begins to notice what others cannot: patterns beneath coincidence, intent behind tragedy, and a presence that seems amused by his existence. The city changes around him. Crimes grow stranger. People disappear without explanation. Whispers spread of a figure who appears in moments of fear—part savior, part nightmare. Zekai does not seek to become anything. He only reacts. Yet the more he intervenes, the more the world pushes back. Every choice carries consequences he cannot escape. Every step forward reveals another layer of truth he was never meant to see. Some paths offer power. Some demand sacrifice. Some do not allow turning back. As Zekai is pulled deeper into a hidden side of the city—where justice, guilt, desire, and fate collide—he is forced to confront a question no one can answer for him: Is freedom something you choose… or something taken from you the moment you play along? Because this story is not about destiny fulfilled. It is about what remains when the final number is reached— 22.

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.
