Cain Sinthorne, the youngest of seven royal sons, was born with a skill so useless the kingdom branded him a disgrace. Consume, a passive effect that slightly boosts the potency of food and potions, earned him nothing but scorn. His family ignored him. The court mocked him. The nobles laughed behind his back. Only his best friend and his lover treated him like a person. Only they believed in him. Or so he thought. Lured into a beginner dungeon under the promise of training, Cain is betrayed and left for dead. Alone in the depths and on the brink of death, he stumbles into a sealed chamber hidden beneath the ruins. Inside lies a soul long forgotten. An immortal once revered as a savior, then cursed as the world's greatest villain. Their hatred, their sorrow, their rage—they are the same. When Cain awakens, he inherits not just the immortal’s memories but the truth behind his skill. Consume was never worthless. It was incomplete. Its true name is Gluttony, a power that feeds on monsters, skills, magic, and even souls. Cain will rise from the dungeon the world buried him in. And when he does, he will show them what it means to be consumed.

Something is harvesting hearts in the woods outside Oaktown. ​Detective Kraven, a cop who’s seen it all, is on the trail of an impossible killer. The victims aren't just murdered—their hearts are gone, taken from their chests without a single drop of blood. As he tracks the spiraling pattern of bodies, Kraven realizes the hunt is not random. It's leading to one place: the center of his town. ​Seventeen-year-old Bruce is an outcast, a ghost in his own high school, haunted by a constant, high-voltage hum in his bones that separates him from the world. His only anchor to normalcy is his girlfriend, Ruth, the one person who doesn't see him as a freak. ​But Bruce is a freak. He was born after a three-year pregnancy, in a supernatural storm that stopped time and killed his mother. His grandmother, Anah, is the only one who knows the truth—the secret of the dark, coiled birthmark hidden on his shoulder. ​When Anah gives Bruce an ancient amulet to "quiet his mind," the hum vanishes, only to be replaced by something far worse: a terrifying, primal hunger. He is plagued by nightmares of a vast, monstrous heart, pulsing in the dark, calling to him. ​As the heartless killer spirals closer, Bruce and Kraven are set on a collision course. Bruce must unlock the dark secret of his birth before the hunter finds him—or worse, before he discovers the monster he’s hunting is the one living inside his own skin.

I transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, where martial souls reign supreme. However, my awakened martial soul turned out to be completely useless, without even a trace of soul power. Destined to be an ordinary and insignificant person for life. Fortunately, a cheat system activated at the right time. As long as I crafted a persona for myself, I could turn that persona's power into my own. If I fabricated the persona of having twin martial souls, then once everyone believed I had them, I would truly possess twin martial souls. If I created the persona of becoming a god in the future, then as long as the world believed it I would become a god! Thank you for the support, friends.

“Poor girl,” an old woman whispered near the edge of the crowd. “A pretty thing like her will never know real love. The Shadow Alpha’s bed is nothing but a grave.” The words sliced through my numbness completely. My heart gave a violent lurch. I might not know who the Shadow Alpha was, but my wolf certainly didn't care. She instantly began to howl in my skull, a furious, living, terrified sound. “Enough,” I breathed out, the word a painful gasp. A terrifying heat surged rapidly under my skin, fast and wild. My vision blurred and shifted, turning a dangerous, vibrant green. The growl that started deep within my own chest climbed higher, becoming louder and closer to a roar. “What’s that sound?” someone nearby yelled in fear. “Her eyes—they’re green!” another person gasped loudly. The heavy iron cuff on my wrist began to glow with painful intensity. The runes deeply carved into the metal flared blindingly white, then flickered violently. A searing pain shot through my entire arm, but I didn't stop. The metal cracked—once, twice—then shattered into a dozen useless pieces. The chain hit the gravel with a dull, dead clank. A single, horrifying scream tore out of me, but it wasn’t mine anymore. It changed halfway through, warping and deepening into a sound that visibly shook the nearest torches and sent showers of sparks flying into the dark night air. Bones shifted and ground together violently. My spine arched backward unnaturally. The gruesome sound of cracking filled the air as my skin split and tore open. Thick, coarse fur pushed its way through the fresh wounds, black as pitch. My nails stretched and reformed into long, razor-sharp claws. My teeth instantly sharpened into fangs. I fell forward, gasping hard—but the terrible, triumphant voice that laughed inside my head was no longer my own. I rose slowly on my digitigrade legs, powerful muscles rippling beneath thick fur darker than the night around me. My newly formed claws dug deep into the loose dirt and gravel. I was not merely a wolf. I was a Lycan. The beast was fully in my place now, and it was absolutely starving.

I reincarnated as the aunt of the main villainess in a romantic otome game. Ever since I took on this role, my main goal has been to properly raise my niece so that she would not suffer the fate of her character in the original story. But... why has the world around me become so strange ever since I moved into this game? The love interests of the main heroine, who suddenly started hanging around me, even though they are supposed to be with the heroine! The main heroine, who suddenly said to me: "Aunt Grace is the best!" And finally, my niece, who was the main villain in the game, was definitely the strangest of all. "You promised that you would take care of me, didn't you? So how can you break your word now?" No, damn it, I was only trying to raise my villainess niece properly... so what is wrong with this strange world?!

Humanity tried to outsmart death. The universe didn’t like that very much. Boom - one allergic reaction later, the world ended. Forty years after the cataclysm, the world is stuck in limbo. People got what they wanted. No one ages. No one dies. But here’s the catch - they can’t give birth either. Evolution hit a full stop. Half the population turned into breathing husks - bodies that move, but no one’s inside. The rest? Burned, twisted, mutated by the chaos we left behind. Humanity became immortal, but far from alive. For forty years, there have been no deaths, no births… just existence. And yet, something is shifting again. In the ruins of history, hidden hands are moving. Secrets are surfacing. The balance that has held for decades is about to break - and the world will feel the changes, a little too well. What To Expect: This isn’t a story that rushes. It’s a slow‑burn mystery‑odyssey that follows Kshaya - a man trapped between duty and decay - as he begins a journey that’s as spiritual as it is physical. The story takes place in a world that has long since stopped moving forward. Humanity left behind death, but also life. What remains is a strange new order where most have forgotten what it means to change. You can expect a lot of atmosphere - abandoned places, living landscapes, and quiet conversations that hide countless secrets. It’s a mix of science‑fiction and mythology, with touches of eldritch mystery woven through. Some scenes will feel familiar, others unsettlingly alien. Everything will connect eventually, even if it doesn’t seem like it at first. If you enjoy stories built like puzzles - where scattered pieces slowly form a whole - this one’s for you. The pace starts gentle, but the deeper you go, the more the world and its forgotten truths begin to unfold. The mystery and the journey will come before anything else. I usually enjoy worldbuilding in my writings, but this time I will balance out my likes for aspects I feel are more crucial to the story, to make it a better experience.

All that Axel has left after his first love are hot, blurry summer memories… And a son, left on his doorsteps, while the young male omega who birthed the kid vanished into thin air. Barely an ‘adult’ himself, Axel would have struggled as a young single father, if it wasn’t for the help of his own parents, who supported him through the whole ordeal, making sure that neither he nor his son were ever lacking anything, be it love or money. Five years later, he’s a fresh college graduate, starting a job at his parents’ company, while his son - growing healthily and happily - is attending kindergarten. Despite his parents’ insistence, Axel is reluctant to date again, afraid of another heartbreak, but mostly out of worry about how his potential partner would treat his son, if they were to have any more children together. Secretly, he’s hoping to find his lost omega - for his son who’d want to meet his ‘daddy’, if not for himself. As he is going about his daily life, a cute barista, a male beta and the owner of a freshly opened coffee shop near his office, catches his attention. Will he move on from his lost love… Or is there more to the mysterious beta than he thought? ———————————— After sleeping with a cute alpha one hot summer night during his first heat, Elias’ whole life quickly fell into pieces. First the alpha disappeared in the morning, leaving not even a note as he returned to the city, but only the servants to chase Elias away, and then soon after, Elias discovered he got pregnant?! With his father in jail and his family dirt poor, how was Elias, still a high schooler, supposed to raise the kid himself? Out of options, he turned to the alpha’s family for help… Only to be threatened with his mother and elder sister’s jobs, if he doesn’t quietly hand the child away and disappear. What could have a young, powerless, poor omega such as himself do? Out of worry for his loved ones, Elias had no choice but to surrender to the demands. Five years later, he returns. With his appearance changed beyond recognition, his family safe abroad, faked gender, and a changed name, he opens a coffee shop near the company owned by the alpha’s family. His goal? Get revenge and get his child back… At least that was the plan. However, soon he discovers things won’t be so easy. How is he supposed to get his revenge without hurting his son in the process? …Should he just give up, and be happy with watching his child grow up happily, even if just from a distance? But what is he supposed to do when that wretched alpha, who had hurt him so much, makes his heart beat faster once again? ——————————— Elias: I’m no longer that cute omega you remember. Axel, kissing Elias softly on top of his head: You seem pretty cute to me. OMEGAVERSE BL
