He was a name whispered in dread across realms — feared by gods, immortals, and all who clung to power. Yet the hand that ended him was not divine, but blood. His own father betrayed him. Stripped of honor, slain like a stray in the dirt, he died watching everything taken from him — his throne, his pride… and the woman who had stood beside him through fire and ruin. But fate, cruel and amused, was not finished. It dragged his soul back through time, casting him into the body of his younger self, before the betrayal, before the fall, before the world learned to fear his name. This time, there would be no hesitation. No loyalty. No mercy. The man who once died would rise again — sharper, colder, inevitable. And at the peak of it all stood the one he would destroy. His father - The Immortal Emperor of the Cloud Abode of Three Dragons

"I will pay you five million dollars to pretend to be my wife for exactly one year, and you will not receive a single penny more."

Second place isn’t failure. In Liam Yoo’s world, it’s worse. It means you’re not worth anything. Liam grew up eating alone, reheating the same meal every night while other families laughed together while watching TV. He didn’t want power or money. He just wanted to cook. So when the first full-dive VR game launches, Liam decides to become a chef. Inside, he picks a frontline class, randomises his character, and ends up as a small girl. He doesn’t care. As long as he can cook, nothing else matters. Then he gets a cooking skill with a unique impact: a Legendary Talent no one else has. Absorption lets him eat monsters to unlock recipes, and his food gives buffs 10,000 times stronger to himself and 100 times stronger to others, turning meals into powerful gameplay advantages. Liam assumes everyone has this talent. They don’t. At first, it’s just a game. Players explore, stream, and fight. Liam bites monsters mid-combat and turns them into recipes. Then the system announces, "The game is locked." No logout. No escape. Anyone who dies in the game dies permanently, both in the game and in reality. Food becomes survival, but everything tastes like garbage, unless it’s made by Liam, whose ability somehow keeps flavour alive. And in a world where strength decides who lives, the strongest ability isn’t a weapon. It’s what he eats. https://discord.gg/YgRmjwBR ---------------------- 30 golden tickets = 3 extra chapters 50 golden tickets = 5 extra chapters 80 golden tickets = 8 extra chapters 100 golden tickets = 10 extra chapters dragon gift = 1 bonus chapter + you become a npc castle gift = the above rewards if hit, + npc spacecraft gift = above rewards if hit npc gachapon gift = above rewards if hit become a important side character, and all week i post 3 chapters a day instead of 2

Discord link :- https://discord.gg/6tPfX3d7Pe Life. People say it has meaning. Purpose. Some grand reason you’re supposed to figure out before it’s over. Honestly? I think that’s bullshit. Some people are born strong. Some are born lucky. And some of us are born just… there. Not special enough to matter. Not useless enough to disappear. I tried. I really did. School. Family. Dreams. Didn’t work out. So I ran. From expectations. From people. From myself. And somehow, I ended up here. Inside a game I used to play. The Hero Chronicles. Famous for being unfair. Famous for being impossible. And now I’m part of it. Not as the chosen hero. Not as someone important. Just Leo von Celestial. The human Domain's failure. And the worst part? I've got 40 days until the Path Awakening. The same trial that killed the original Leo in the game. Now it’s my turn.

I became a rogue, wandered about for days and was unfortunate to attacked by the older rogues. And even more unfortunate to be saved by the quadruplet Alpha's, my Pack rival Alpha's. *** “Isn't she the Beta's daughter of Frost moon pack?" Damien growled as he turned to his brothers. “Definitely, she looks the same even after five years!" Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid." Adrien chuckled lightly, a sly smirk appearing across his lips. “Nice idea Aidan. We would make her suffer!" CONTENT WARNING.

On my third wedding anniversary, my husband poisoned me. As I lay dying on the cold restaurant floor, I watched him smile beside my step-sister his mistress since before our wedding day. My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.

In the shadowed halls of the Velistra estate, Ivy Richardson was born a mistake. The unwanted half-breed daughter of Lord Lucas, she grew up under cruelty and silence, while her siblings basked in power and favor. Her father buried the truth of her mother’s fate behind lies and violence, claiming she had run away with a human. The real story was far darker. On the night of the second full moon, beneath ancient trees heavy with ritual magic, Ivy believed she had been offered escape by the only person who had ever shown her kindness — her stepmother, Seraphina. What Ivy never realized was how deeply Seraphina had become obsessed with her. Those gentle touches and lingering gazes hid something far more dangerous. Instead of freedom, Ivy was tricked into a blood ritual, bound forever to Nicholas Vault, the most feared vampire in the Northeast. Now the wrong bride stands claimed. Old powers stir in her veins. And Seraphina’s obsession is only beginning.

Title: I Built His Empire… Now I’m Taking It Back Synopsis She was the mind behind the empire. While others chased titles, Adriana built systems, solved crises, and turned failing ventures into gold. With an unmatched blend of precision and instinct—an “Eagle Eye” for detail and a “Midas Touch” for transformation—she quietly positioned herself as the invisible force behind Stratton Global’s rise. But power, when hidden, is often taken for granted. Betrayed, sidelined, and nearly erased by the very structure she helped build, Adriana is forced into a position she never sought—war against her own creation. What begins as a fight to reclaim her place quickly evolves into something far greater: exposing corruption, dismantling a deeply rooted syndicate, and recovering billions siphoned through deception. Yet reclaiming the empire is only the beginning. With enemies both inside and outside the system, public scrutiny, corporate politics, and high-stakes global deals closing in, Adriana must do more than survive—she must dominate. As she clears Stratton Global’s name, restores its reputation, and positions it for groundbreaking ventures like the hydrogen gas revolution, one truth becomes undeniable: She was never just part of the empire. She was the one who made it. Now, she’s taking it back—piece by piece, system by system, until nothing stands in her way. Power. Strategy. Betrayal. Redemption. And a woman who refuses to stop at victory.
