The Trident's Obsession: Claimed By Three

[Warning: R18+ Content] I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered. One night. One drink. One sin I could never take back. But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers. They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive. Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows. Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue. And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive. They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire. I’m their ruin. Excerpt ********** “Run if you want, Jade.” The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding. “You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core. Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.” Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?” Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting. Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.” Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.” Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.” My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize. Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth. I wanted them… All of them. ********** Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.

The Cold-Hearted Royal Guard

In her past life, Elmira was the ultimate shield—a top-tier bodyguard who never let her guard down. But even the strongest shield can be broken from behind. A single act of betrayal ended her career—and her life. Or so she thought. Opening her eyes in a filthy slum of a medieval world, she finds herself trapped in the frail body of a young girl named Maria. No weapons, no backup, and no strength. Just a gnawing hunger and a world that preys on the weak. But they are wrong about her. She is not just a helpless child. Deep inside... lies the mind of a veteran operative armed with modern knowledge. A sleeping beast waiting for the right moment to wake up. When danger inevitably comes knocking, the world will learn a terrifying lesson: You can strip a soldier of her armor, but you can never take away her lethality. From the dregs of the slums to the halls of the Royal Academy, this is the story of a girl who swore never to trust again—yet finds herself wielding her sword to protect once more. What to expect: Smart & Ruthless Female Lead: A protagonist who thinks before she acts and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. Brains over Brawn: The MC has low mana capacity. She wins through strategy, modern martial arts (Judo/CQC), and physics—not by overpowering enemies. Psychological Depth: A realistic portrayal of trauma and trust issues. No instant "power of friendship." Magic Academy Arc: School life, but with high stakes, political schemes, and class discrimination. Weak-to-Strong: A steady progression where the MC earns her power through hard work and cleverness. Modern Knowledge: Using science to exploit magic systems. Cinematic Style: immersive descriptions. Perfect for readers who enjoyed: The tactical genius of "The World's Finest Assassin," the emotional depth of "Violet Evergarden,", the darkness of "Made In Abyss" and in the underdog triumphs of "The Irregular at Magic High School." If you are looking for a protagonist who uses science to defy magic and cold logic to survive betrayal, welcome to Maria’s world.

The Vortexless death

Chaos reveals the false The chaotic is the false The enlightened ruler grows lazy before reality The tyrant imposes himself upon the world with his gaze alone The one who places a crown upon his head yet hungers for the mortal realm The one dressed as a peasant, clutching a knife, dancing wildly Come, leap up—dance while singing praises to the king So that we may pray for rain, for sun, for an eternal song to the royal line Weep? Why weary yourself with tears, O nameless one in the annals of history? Your name is but an anonymous digit, flickering for a single instant Who are you, oh self-proclaimed “I,” who are you to become the dog of “I”? The lecher sees happiness wherever his eyes fall The arrogant one—who dares bow his head to look at the road ahead? Who out there dares sing the epic of love? Who out there dares speak aloud the loneliness of the man standing in the crowd? We are far apart, yet near; we see, yet cannot touch We keep walking—why reach the place? We arrive—why have we come? Why must we still walk? The starving see crumbs and call them true love The rich look at poverty and call it truth Truth is ignorance; ignorance is numbness Do I dare walk upon the corpses of the wretched? I see truth in the poor, yet the poor cannot see it themselves Could it be—they are simply lazy? Envy toward the three laws of the sky and clouds How can I reach the high clouds, O Icarus? I arrive—my wings melt away I look—the sky scorches my eyes I speak—the wind steals my words I crave connection—the more I seek, the lonelier I become I crave money—the more I seek, the poorer I grow I crave knowledge—the more I seek, the less I believe O fallen one cast from the heavens, tell me O one who touched the horizon, show me The song that rises from this age I dance among thousands of dancers The first time I danced, I was shy Sometimes I stumbled, sometimes I laughed But how dare my life fall too often? For my clothes were never made to last Dreams of splendor are like fresh green grass The dreamer climbs high into the clouds The fool tumbles into the fish pond The slave sees golden light upon the throne The hot-tempered sees the tyrant’s decree The noble sees radiance inside the treasure chest The betrayed sees happiness in lowly places The starving sees a piece of bread in a child’s hand The indifferent sees only calloused palms Majestic kingship—sullied by lowly slaves sitting beside it Pierced through by the cunning, seduced by the lovelorn Planted with flags by the zealous, lain upon by the empty Obscured by debauchery, obscured by grief “That year, I—the depraved one—came to this place, bearing countless sins of corruption. He gazed upon the eternal gate, freely trampling the eternal dark river, branding seven songs upon the dark souls of the walking dead: ‘Wrath ignites the flames of the world Lust loses the feeling of love Greed inevitably loses the self’s true will Pride shoulders the heavens it built itself Sloth helplessly watches the world collapse Gluttony is swallowed by the hunger of the earth Envy is slain by the spear of the lowly’” Thus is humanity: trampling one another while sneering in laughter, witnessing pain yet despising it War and chaos born of pride, swords and blades born of greed Bullet wounds born of rage Hunger devours even morality, greed robs the laws of heaven Rage incinerates the original heart Lust trades all things for fleeting pleasure Sloth inevitably blinds itself, pride leads to catastrophic fall Envy topples the king. The novel was written and conceptualized by me, but it has been translated into English using AI. This is rather embarrassing for me; however, I hope readers will kindly continue reading. After all, aside from the translation, the AI has not contributed anything else to the story or the work itself.

The True-Fire Ascendant

The skies burned for seven days. Rivers boiled. Mountains cracked and fell. Shadows swept across the land like a living tide, consuming all that dared to live. Creatures that can only be described as incarnates that would make even nightmares tremble invaded from a land unknown. Everything they touched would decay out of existence. In that age of ruin, heroes rose only to be swallowed. Kingdoms and Empires fell one by one. Humanity stood at the edge of extinction. And then, when the last dawn dimmed beneath the Hollow Sovereign’s Shroud, something impossible happened. Heroes awakened not with magic or an all powerful sword, but with Concepts. They grasped the very truths of the world: Flame as Will. Water as Memory. Steel as Resolve. Light as Judgement. Darkness as Silence. Powers beyond elements. Powers that decay could not touch. Powers that could fight the invaders on equal terms. With Concept born strength, humanity pushed back the tide. With the Elemental Primordial Beings sacrificing themselves, the incarnates were sealed back to the Abyss from which they came from. - Hundreds watched as my turn came. The ancestral pyre burned in the center of the chamber steady, bright, unyielding. My sister’s flames had danced with joy. My brother’s had flickered with gentle warmth. Mine did nothing. Whispers stirred. Doubt followed. “The Ashencrest are doomed to fall this generation” I stepped forward anyway. “Place your hand into the flame,” the ceremony master said. I obeyed. The world fell away. A spark ignited in the void. Not red. Not gold. White. Flame without heat, without smoke. Fire stripped to its purest meaning. True Fire. It wrapped around my arm and into my core, a dragon shaped blaze roaring silently through my veins. The pyre behind me erupted, flames spiraling upward in a brilliant white coil. The fire warped and constricted until it took shape of our family’s Primordial Ancestral Beast, The Celestial Serpent. Gasps filled the hall. “A new concept of fire…?” “No, it’s more than that…” “True Fire… it’s actually…!” “…just like the legends.” But I couldn’t hear them. All I felt was the truth burning in my chest: A new True Concept hero had been born.

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: To The Basement

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘,从入门到地下室 The original author is EEEEE然后亮标 Please support them! === To all trainers: throughout your tenure, please never harbor or expose even the slightest notion of romance. Relationships are strictly forbidden—whether among colleagues or between trainers and Uma Musume. At all times, maintain appropriate distance from everyone. Never proactively invite Uma Musume to meals. If one invites you, find an excuse and politely decline. Do not pat heads! Do not touch horse ears! Do not touch tails! When going to sleep at night, ensure your doors and windows are locked. If you hear doors being torn down or the screams of your colleagues, do not leave your room. Immediately call campus security and remain inside until the authorities handle the situation. If an Uma Musume confesses feelings to you, politely decline without showing irritation or excitement. Play dumb! Always pretend you didn't understand! Afterward, promptly apply for campus protection. If necessary, the academy may arrange for your discreet resignation. If you happen to be a handsome male trainer, charming in speech, gentle (yasashii), and obviously attractive to the opposite sex—resign immediately. It's not discrimination; you simply do not belong here. If you insist on staying, the dark basement will inevitably be your only fate. Mizuno Sora looked at his evaluation of Appearance S, Scent S, and Voice S, and began to struggle inwardly. #Umamusume #Uma Musume #Pretty Derby

Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Ten Meters

This is a fan translation of 赛马娘:从被撞飞十米开始 The original author is 百升飞上天 Please support them! === Many years later, holding the Lifetime Achievement Award in his hands, Yasui Makoto would still vividly recall that afternoon—when he was knocked ten meters through the air by an Uma Musume. At the time, Makoto had only possessed his official trainer license from the Central Academy for a few months. Perhaps due to his obvious lack of experience, he was repeatedly turned down by prospective trainees. After yet another rejection from an Uma Musume, he was feeling somewhat dazed. As he stood at a crosswalk waiting for the traffic light, Makoto saw a small child about to be struck by a vehicle. Without hesitation, he dashed forward. He successfully saved the child— —but he himself was sent flying. Not by the car. But by an Uma Musume with short black hair, red eyes, and a dark tail. Thanks to rigorous self-training from a young age, drawing on experience from his previous life, Makoto instinctively corrected his posture mid-air, thus avoiding serious injury despite being caught completely off guard. The Uma Musume, however, was clearly terrified. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you okay?!” “My-my name is Kitasan Black! I'm a freshman this year at Tracen Academy! Please take care of me!” “I-I… Anyway, I—I promise to take full responsibility!” That was what the flustered “culprit Uma Musume” named Kitasan Black said at the time. [Note: Certain occupations and roles of Uma Musume have been slightly adapted, and the world-building has been expanded. Apart from this, historical accuracy remains intact, ensuring no disruption to original fans' enjoyment.] [Readers unfamiliar with the original series can enjoy this simply as a sports-themed slice-of-life campus story.] [Kitasan Black features prominently in the early stages, with Haru Urara joining later. Other notable Uma Musume, such as Almond Eye and Daiwa Scarlet, will also be considered as the story progresses.]
