(R-18 and dark themes, you have been warned.) Blurb: During my incarceration by my mate, I see a man leaning against the wall of the dungeon with his arms and legs coiled with heavy iron chains. Dressed only in tattered rags of a black robe his ghostly white skin is mostly on display. Tattoos like smoke crawl all the way from his neck to the side of his handsome and deeply chiselled face, but it's the eyes that have me in a trance. Deep red like the freshly spilt blood, such rich shade, and they stare directly at me with such intensity that I forget to breathe. My hand grabs the iron bar, and I steady myself as his curved lips move and he utters only one word to make my world crash and my magic lose control. “Mate!” My world shatters at his words. "You can see me?” He asks next, a voice calmer and yet deeper than Mariana Trench. It whispers all around me, murmuring against my skin as if trying to awaken something sleeping. “Yes, why shouldn't I be able to?” I question, slightly confused. A crease descends on my forehead. "No one else can," he answers with a wounded smile that wrecks my heart. Synopsis: In this post-apocalyptic world, Faes are hunted and killed mercilessly because they are blamed for the apocalypse that befell and destroyed half of the population. At 20, Amaia Zhāng is a Fae and is the last of her kind, or so she thinks. Her family and her whole village were massacred by the Dread Army in the name of keeping peace. She is the sole survivor and keeps her appearance cloaked. But she makes it her mission to train every day and become strong enough to avenge her kind. During a battle with a monster, her mate abandons and rejects her to save his life. Heartbroken, Amaia is left with no choice but to join Orion Academy. It is home to the greatest hunters and enforcers of her continent. It's a world where hunters and enforcers are treated like celebrities. She knows the training will help her fulfil her revenge plans and become a renowned hunter. And maybe along the way she will find another mate. But the twist of fate, deception and seduction from the man who is supposed to refer her to the Orion Academy leaves her with a curse and a tainted reputation. A curse which prevents her mate/mates from recognising her and prevents Amaia from informing them of who she is to them. As it turns out, Amaia is mated to hybrid Alphas of Orion, but none of them can feel the mate bond, and they believe she wants to seduce them. “Have some dignity, Amaia. You abandoned your mate and are now trying your seduction techniques on me. I have a fiancée.” Glares Alnilam, her first mate. “Don't look at me like that, lassie. I am saving myself for my mate.” Winks Alnitak, her second mate. “Stay away from me. You are not my mate,” scolds Mintaka, her third mate. “I will bring a garland constructed from your ex-mate's bones. How dare he hurt you?” Determination flashes in the eyes of Rigel, her fourth mate. Every time they turn her down and choose to be intimate with their chosen females, she feels every ounce of pain and hurt. Amidst the chaos and heartache in a place where enemies hide in plain sight. Can Amaia break this curse and have her mates recognise her as theirs? Does she have four mates or is there another twist hidden? Will she become a successful hunter and keep her identity hidden from the world and at the same time carry out her revenge? Read on to find out.

Once, Serein was a Guide—devoted, loyal, and in love. She gave everything to her guild master, believing his promise of marriage when they reached the top. Instead, she was betrayed. Abandoned in an S-rank gate, left to be devoured by monsters while he escaped with another. But death was not her end. When she opens her eyes again, it’s the past. Before the guild. Before the lies. Before she became a Guide. This time, Serein swears to live quietly—an ordinary office job, lazy weekends, and a life far away from Hunters. She almost succeeded… until a single mistake exposed her powers. Now, every path she takes draws the gaze of S-rank Hunters. - Zane, her dangerous new neighbor, the cold guild master who believes Awakeners are more than weapons. - Kai, the reckless trainee who knows her secret. A foolish but brave soul. - Sylvan, the relentless CBAA officer who will never let her go. - Elias, the shining idol who dragged her into the spotlight. - And Deimos, the enigmatic crime lord of Maledictus, who sees in her a power worth possessing. Once a forsaken Guide, now the most hunted woman alive. Will Serein find the peace she craves, or be claimed as prey by the very Hunters she swore to escape?

But after failing for the third and final time, his dreams collapse in a storm of frustration and wine. In a drunken haze, he curses the heavens for his misfortune.

Before he can speak, glowing letters appear in the air: [System Notification] Congratulations, you are the new owner of the Silver Moon Pleasure House. Now, trapped in the body of a woman and thrust into a world of beauty, intrigue, and temptation, Lucas must learn to survive — and manage the most renowned Pleasure House in the realm.

“I want to do it. “   “What!? “I reply in panic as I begin to struggle against his hold, but he tightens his grip around me. I’m afraid of getting caught, but why is a part of me suddenly excited by this? By the way he’s holding…pulling me close… not letting go. Why do I like it even though I know getting caught could be disastrous? “H… hey, please. Not here… I… I … “I begin, but he cuts me off as he moves a leg between mine and begins to press against my bulge. “Your body tells another story… “He says as he runs his tongue over the marks he created on my neck last night and I shiver in his arms. I feel him smirk against my neck, and I curse myself for how easy it is for him to get a reaction out of me. “But… This is a public space… “I struggle to complete my sentence as he begins to massage my bulge with his thigh. “You’re all I care about right now. “He replies as he reaches for and starts undoing my belt, and I reach down to hold onto it in fear. “What are you saying? Your reputation… “I begin, and he finally pulls away from me. “It would be just fine. “He cuts me off, and I gulp. “Are you ashamed of me? “He suddenly questions, and my eyes widen. “Of course not! It’s just… “I begin, but he doesn’t let me finish. “You’re the one who wanted my attention. “ “Not like this! “   “This is how I want to give it. “He replies, and I stare at him with wide eyes. This is bad. If we're caught fucking here, it'll be chaos. and he doesn't seem to mind that. These brothers are insane!! ***** Five Alphas. One innocent Omega. And a heat no one’s ready for. ******* Known as a misfit with a weird feature(Red eyes), his whole life, everything hit rock bottom when his parents disowned and kicked him out of his home for being attracted to men. One accident later, he wakes up in another world, groggy, naked… and on display at a beastmen auction. They called him rare. Valuable. Breedable. Twenty thousand golden bars later, he’s sold... to not one, but five Alpha brothers. All beastmen. All dangerously possessive. Each one hotter...and crazier...than the last. They’re fighting over who gets to breed him first. And Elián? He’s never even kissed anyone before. Alpha Koda, the calmest of the five brothers, promises Elián will be safe. But nothing about this new world feels safe to Elián. Not the way the Alphas look at him. Not the way his body responds to them. And definitely not that word they keep calling him. Omega. Elián is a man. Men aren’t supposed to have babies. But somehow… every Alpha wants to breed him. Because Elián might just be the key to a generation of powerful beastmen. Now, five ruthless brothers are ready to give Elián everything he could ever want... Including unending love... If he’ll let one of them put a baby in him. How will he react to all this? Especially when he has no idea what it feels like to be loved.

What?! ------- Elian Ashford—a lowly Omega slave and an orphan raised in the palace of the werewolf empire of Lunaria— was hated, humiliated, and eventually poisoned to death after finding out that he was mated to the cold Alpha Prince of Lunaria who had publicly rejected him. But fate wasn't done with him. The moon goddess showed pity on him and gave him a second chance, rewinding his life back to the moment of rejection. But Elian soon discovered how vastly different his second life was. He was reborn with a sassy system which would help him survive and also ascend from a lowly Omega. And that's not all. In his second life, Elian is mated to not just the Alpha Prince but also two others. The empire's Beta and the Rogue King. Three mates and a system! What could go wrong?

Omegas can't be idols.That's the unspoken rule. They're too fragile, too vulnerable to heats, and too easy to exploit. The industry would chew them up and spit them out, if they even got a chance in the first place. But Han Jiwon doesn't care about rules. Armed with scent blockers, forged papers, and a stubbornness that borders on insanity, he disguises himself as a beta and auditions for Rise Of The Idols —the most cutthroat survival show in the country. One hundred and one trainees enter. Only seven will debut. The competition is brutal. The dorms are crawling with alphas, the cameras never stop rolling, and every other contestant is hungry for a spot. One wrong move, one slip in control, one whiff of pheromones, and Jiwon's dream is over. But he's not just fighting rivals. He's fighting exhaustion, sabotage, and the terrifying pull of instincts he's spent years suppressing. Because if the world discovers that the “beta dark horse” is really an omega… Will it destroy him? Or will he become the first omega idol to shine on stage? Expect: - Secret identity & forbidden romance - Reverse harem BL dynamics - Idol survival show drama & fan culture - Pheromone leaks, heat tension, and protective alpha instincts - Scandals, ships, and an omega fighting to change the industry - Secretive high stakes smut scenes Warning: Mature content, reader discretion advised.

[WARNING CONTAINS RAPE AND ABUSE.] THIS IS A DARK FANTASY SO BE AWARE OF THE CHARACTERS. “One fated to, a human. One fated to mate with a fox. When fate ties one woman to two brothers, love becomes a war.” Xavier Thorne; Alpha of his pack, an heir to the hierarchy and destined to lead. Fated to a mate unlike any other… a human. Kraven Thorne; his ruthless half brother, Alpha of his pack and a challenger to his throne. Bears a bond to a Fox… said to be rare. What happens when fate binds them both… to the same woman? Athena Taylor was born human, living an ordinary life in the city… struggling under the crushing debt her father left behind. When she accepts a mysterious job in a secluded town, all she wants is enough money to survive. Instead, she discovers a world that should not exist. She never expected that single choice to tear her life apart. She never expected death… and rebirth. When Athena awakens with the fox spirit bound inside her, she becomes the center of a dangerous prophecy. Drawn into the empire of werewolves, power and politics. She finds herself trapped between two Alpha brothers destined for the throne. As the brothers wage war for power and for her, Athena faces an impossible choice. Will she embrace this world and choose a mate? Will she run and leave them both behind? Or will she be hunted before destiny gives her the chance? One woman. Two Alphas. A fate that could shatter an empire.

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

The Supernatural Realms faces a harrowing prophecy—an apocalypse destined to wipe out all beings, starting with the werewolves, then witches, vampires, and finally, humans. To prevent this, the werewolf high council formed a pact with other creatures on earth. Each realm would send a candidate to the Brookshigh Academy. The goal was to discover if an alliance/bond between an Alpha and a representative from another realm could produce a bond powerful enough to stop the impending apocalypse. This year, the humans have chosen Hope. When Hope’s sister vanished without a trace from Brookshigh Academy years ago, Hope never believed she’d follow in her footsteps. But with nothing left to lose, she accepted a scholarship to the very same school. What she discovers inside isn’t what she expected. Brookshigh isn’t just an academy, it’s a den of Alphas, it wasn't what it's portrayed to be. Beneath its prestigious facade lies a brutal hierarchy, where power is currency, and the weak are prey. Hope's arrival disrupts the status quo, catching the attention of not just the academy's most formidable Alphas but most powerful supernatural Villains and representatives. Caught between ruthless supernatural factions and hunted by enemies she wasn't aware her parents had made, Hope must survive a world where all she thought was a lie and fiery tale was living, breathing and asking for her love. She knew it was all a game of survival here. But she has vowed that in this dangerous Den of Alphas, she won’t just be a pawn in their games. She will be the wild card that changes the rules forever.

The corridor was dark. Selene moved fast, barefoot against the cold stone, her heart thundering in her chest. She didn’t know how they’d gotten so close, how he had. But the moment she turned the corner, he was there, and he slammed her back against the wall. Her gasp was muffled by a rough hand clamping over her mouth. The other braced beside her head as his body caged hers completely. Heat rolled off him like a furnace. His scent hit her nose, faintly familiar. Like burnt cedar, cold steel, and storm. He leaned in, his voice a ragged whisper by her ear. “You’re Selene... my Selene.” Her blood ran cold. Her heart rebelled against her chest, trying to escape. “I’m not,” she hissed through gritted teeth. “You’re mistaken.” His fingers traced the curve of her jaw like he was trying to memorize it. “It’s you. I’d know your soul even if the world burned it from your bones.” “You’re mad,” she spat. But he suddenly dipped his mouth to kiss her hard, to confirm that it was really her. *** Selene was the daughter of the cruel Alpha who ruled Moonveil through fear. Years ago, he wiped out an entire pack just to rise to power. But he made one mistake...he left behind four orphaned boys. Those boys returned as Alphas. They are stronger, colder and out for revenge. They took everything...his land, his title, and finally... his life. Selene was only seventeen at the time. She had no idea what her father had done. But that didn’t matter. To them, she was guilty by blood. They didn’t kill her. No. They did something worse. They marked her as a slave. In their world, even omegas had rights. Slaves had none. She became nothing more than property. But Selene still had hope. On her eighteenth birthday, like every werewolf, she expected her wolf to awaken. It was supposed to be the start of her new life. Instead, it turned into a nightmare. Her wolf never came. Her body remained cold and silent. And then… the bond appeared. She was mated to all four of them. The very Alphas who hated her. The ones who owned her. But the truth is Selene was never a wolf to begin with. As her body withers under the weight of the bond, a darker truth surfaces. She is not just a slave… she is the last living witch, born of the very bloodline werewolves have hunted for generations. Now, her enemies wear the mark of her mates... And the witch they thought they broke may be the one who burns them all.

Jo-Pil, ahem, I mean, I was just a simple sales manager who was more than satisfied with my way of living, thank you very much. But my simple way of living came crashing down like the heavy materials I was counting on my night shift, crushed me and my simple life, and then landed me in a novel I had read back when I was still a Freshman at university. And to make it all worse, it just happened to be the kind of novel that readers would wish to get into and crack the skull of the various sadistic love interests as well as the stubborn main character who just didn't know when to sit still. Ugh. But what was even worse than that was the fact that I, Jo-Pil, had become the freaking main character. Yeah, you got that right. I was the poor, hopeless Omega whose role in the novel was to be a weak, helpless, yet stubborn guy who was sold for his huge debt, bought by four powerful Alphas in order to become a breeding machine. They might as well make me their baby mama while they were at it, don't you think? But there was no way I was going to live up to that role. Seriously, why resist being showered with the luxury of life and getting hurt when I could just give them a little neck massage, say a few sweet words to compliment them, and then lie on my back with sun shades on and juice in hand, relaxing for the rest of my life? Maybe it's not as easy as it sounds but I could make it work. I was sure I could. With four powerful Alphas ruling the country at my mercy, I could do anything. But... Were they really at my mercy, though? I mean, I was the one whose huge debt got paid off, right? Welp, maybe I was getting a little over my head. What to do?

[Warning: Possessive and yandere alphas, kidnapping, harem, and smut!] Lucien de Luca, heir to blood and bullets, wears the crown of the Lucero Syndicate, the most feared mafia in the country. A ruthless don with an empire at his feet, he built his throne on loyalty, violence, and cold calculation. But beneath the smoke, silk, and gunpowder, Lucien hides a dangerous secret. He’s not just the mafia’s serpent king, he’s an omega. And not just any omega, one who craves to be claimed, knotted, and broken by the kind of alpha strong enough to put him on his knees. The betrayal comes from within. His stepbrother—beloved right-hand, trusted shadow—sells him to five rival alphas, thinking it will erase Lucien from the game and leave the Lucero empire ripe for the taking. Only Lucien isn’t the helpless pawn his brother imagines. He’s the one holding the strings. He lets himself fall into the hands of his enemies… Because what better way to satisfy his darkest desires than to be devoured by four predators at once? But betrayal never goes unpunished. Before surrendering himself, Lucien left behind a gift, one last trap. And when it springs, his brother’s dream of power will burn to ashes, while Lucien takes his place exactly where he’s always longed to be: tangled in the arms of his alphas, finally free to indulge the filthy, dangerous hunger he’s denied all his life.

All her life, Emira wanted only one thing. Freedom. Born as an Omega, her life in Moonville Pack was nothing but endless pain and humiliation. All she wanted was a chance to breathe without fear. So, she waited and bided her time, planning her escape every minute. Once she turned eighteen, what little protection she had, would be gone and she would be forced by her pack to mate with the highest bidder. Like hell, she was going to do that! So she made a plan. Just one. Run. Disappear and don’t look back. If she succeeded in breaking up with her pack, then she would live a normal life. But fate was never kind to girls like her. Before she could escape, she was seen really seen, for the first time. Not with kindness, not with care, but with cold, possessive purpose. The enforcer from Stormhold Pack, the most feared pack in the world, took one look at her and claimed her… as a slave. But that was not the worst part.... There was more... She was to be a slave not just to him... He was one of the triplets. And that meant, she would belong to three masters…

In a world of magic and abilities, where the strong are revered by the masses and Hunters are treated like gods—Lucien was just a dungeon cleaner. E-rank. Invisible. Average. A loser. Obsessed with Hunters and dreaming of becoming one, but barely surviving on scraps with his crappy rank. Until a cleanup job went wrong—and he died. Or so he thought. [SYSTEM INITIATED] > Do you want to live? - YES - NO One answer, and everything changed. "W-What is this... this isn’t my body!" The reflection staring back at him was… shorter. Hotter. A face too pretty to be his. [SYSTEM PROMPT] > Do you want to return to your old life? "YES!" Then... [SYSTEM MISSION] > Seduce the strongest S-Class Hunters. Current affection points: (0/1000) "...Excuse me—WHAT?!" And so, the story begins—with a loser trapped in a ridiculously hot stranger’s body, held hostage by a mysterious system that demands one thing: Seduce the top two strongest Hunters… or die trying.

AN ESPER'S MOAN IS HIS TRUEST CONFESSION. After dying in a world he had been transmigrated into, a young man thought his suffering was finally over. He believed he would wake up back in his original world...Earth where everything was at least familiar. But fate was far crueler. Instead of waking up in his own body, he opened his eyes in yet another strange place, one that was even more dangerous than the last. This was an esper world. And worse still, he hadn't woken up as some hero or powerful awakened being. No. He had transmigrated into the fragile body of a young man who worked as a bar attendant in a shady private club, a place that secretly dealt in human trafficking, where people like him could easily end up as nothing more than entertainment toys for espers if he wasn't careful. As if his life wasn't fucked up enough, Orion soon found out he was PREGNANT!!! In his first life, he had no memories of being pregnant for anyone so… how could he possibly be carrying a child? Who is the baby daddy? In this society, guides were rare and because of this, they were forbidden from becoming pregnant except they're bonded. Yet here Orion was hiding not just one crime, but two. First, concealing his true identity as a guide. Second, carrying a child without ever having been bonded to an esper. Two unforgivable sins. And the punishment for either was death. But then Orion thought death was good not until he found out the secret about the host whose body he is inside, the host who wasn't that innocent afterall. And the baby in his stomach is not tied to only one esper but five powerful espers. Or maybe more.

[Warning: Reverse Harem + Mature Content] It was supposed to be another normal day at work—until I got a text from my boyfriend of four years. A lovey-dovey text—until I realized it wasn't meant for me. It was for my supermodel best friend, whom I'd known since childhood! I was more than ready to finish work and catch them both in the act… before Charles Kosonen stepped into my life. The man who owned the largest entertainment company in S Country didn’t just show up with an icy expression that screamed “Don’t talk to me or I’ll ruin your life.” He also started saying weird things. Things like, “Kaija, do you have a boyfriend?” Or, “What do you think about quitting your job and working for me instead?” Eh, thanks but no, mister. I’d rather keep my quiet, ordinary life than compete against all those insanely gorgeous people already working for you. But then disaster struck—and my employer demanded S$200,000 in compensation, right before firing me. “Hm. That’s barely the price of my latest sports car,” Charles said, completely unbothered. Needless to say, I was speechless. So—my life took a wild turn. And in this new life, I somehow ended up becoming... a superstar. But wait a minute— “Antony, you’re supposed to be my dance coach, not seducing me with your moves.” “Karl, I thought you hated me. Since when did you start writing me love songs?” “Juho, this will be the last time we’re doing those intimate photoshoots, okay? I’m shy too!” “And you, Charles! How many more rounds do you want?!”

"You’re ours," Varen whispered, his voice a velvet threat, "and we don’t share unless it’s with each other." I was never supposed to matter. An omega raised in the shadows, hidden behind my warrior family's shame, I only ever wanted to survive. Maybe, if I was lucky, find love with someone like me— someone quiet. Gentle. Unseen. But the moon had other plans. And under its eerie blue glow, three impossibly powerful, dangerously beautiful Alphas—triplets— claimed me as their mate. Varen. The charming firebrand with a wicked tongue and a sugarcane smile. Kiel. The silent forest poet who sings to wolves and kisses like moonlight. Thorne. The battle-scarred leader who doesn’t believe in fate... yet burns when I walk away. They were meant to lead the pack. I was meant to be nothing. Now I’m caught between them — between chaos and devotion, between savage protection and secret longing. I should have run the night they called me "mate." But when my bloodline reveals a rare power the world thought extinct, I become the key to a storm that could tear our world apart. Betrayal bleeds through every shadow. My family sold me. My enemies want to own me. And love? It was never supposed to look like this. But maybe fate didn’t get it wrong. Maybe I was never made for one mate. Maybe I was made for them all.

What could possibly go wrong with falling in love with a killer? Nothing... right? . . "You've been staring at me again," Lucien said, his voice soft enough to make Adrian's pulse trip. Adrian kept his head down, feigning blindness. "I can't stare. I'm blind, remember?" "Blind?" Lucien's laugh was low, close to his ear. "Then how do you always know where I am?" Adrian's breath hitched when fingers brushed his chin, tilting it upward. Their faces were too close... he could feel Lucien's warm breath, could see the shape of his lips. He almost leaned forward before snapping out of it. "Maybe," Adrian whispered, "...I'm familiar with the sound of your footsteps." Lucien smiled... the kind that ruined men like Adrian. His body pressed against Adrian's, heat and danger rolling off him. "Then you should know," he murmured, lips near his ear, "I only take a step closer when I want something." . . Adrian lives quietly in the academy. Covered from head to toe, pretending to be blind, he's the strange student no one dares to talk to. But behind his dark glasses and calm voice, he hides something darker... he's a stalker, a habit born from old trauma. Adrian knows everything about everyone.
