Aurora Perish transmigrates into a cliché Omegaverse novel—as the second (female) male lead, doomed to be a stepping stone in the main couple’s messy romance. To make things worse, it’s a story she hated as a teen, full of brainless drama, red flag characters, and zero logic. Determined to stay out of the chaos, Aurora Perish plans to live a peaceful, drama free life. Love? No thanks—she’s too old for that nonsense. That is… until the main character warns her to stay away from the obsessive villainess. But why would someone like that be interested in her? Aurora’s plan: avoid the madness, live normally. #SlowBurn

Mary just wanted to be herself—in a world constantly trying to shape her into someone else. Her life was quiet and simple, until the forest inside her began to whisper. Dreams long buried, fears long hidden, and voices too persistent to ignore. Amid daily struggles, a deep loneliness, and a silent battle between who she is and who she’s expected to be, Mary embarks on a journey not guided by maps, but by instinct. Mary and the Forest is a story of silent searching, hard decisions, and a world that can only be seen when you close your eyes.

To gain power, he must lose himself. After his village is erased in a single night, Gold—an outcast from the edge of the empire—makes a forbidden pact with a divine being. In exchange for strength, he sacrifices fragments of his soul: memories, emotions, and even his identity. Now bound to the ancient magic of Aether Pactum, Gold climbs through a world of cruel empires, shattered gods, and monsters that wear human faces. With every victory, he forgets something precious—but with every loss, he grows more dangerous. What will remain… when there’s nothing left to give?

When 20-year-old Elena Harper inherits her late grandmother’s crumbling hilltop estate, she expects dust, diaries, and the echo of memories—not an ancient mirror sealed behind a hidden wall. But on the night of the first full moon, the mirror whispers her name… and Julian Blackthorne answers. A hauntingly beautiful man trapped behind the glass, Julian claims to have lived—and died—over a century ago. Bound by a curse, betrayed by love, and forgotten by time, he insists that Elena is the only one who can free him. But with every reflection, Elena sees pieces of a past that doesn’t belong to her… or does it? As the line between dream and reality begins to blur, Elena is thrust into a mystery that spans lifetimes. Someone in town will do anything to keep the curse intact—and the truth buried. And as Elena begins to fall for the ghost in the mirror, she must decide: Can she rewrite a love story destined to end in tragedy… or will she become the mirror’s next bride?

He dies, he returns... but what brings him back? Behind the mirror, something watches—and waits. Elara and Ariella’s peaceful lives shatter the moment the ancient stones choose them. Bound by prophecy and awakened power, they’re thrust into a deadly game of survival. The Shrouded One—a merciless weapon cloaked in mystery— rises again and again, leaving blood in his wake. When he gives a village two options—bow or die—his cruelty becomes legend. But even monsters have questions. A ragged old pot, nearly discarded, sparks a violent reaction from his Master. Why? What power lies hidden in the dust of forgotten things? As darkness closes in, only the girls stand between fate— and the fall of everything. 2025 Victoria Nakayenga. All rights reserved.

To break the gods, he must become worse than them. Raen Valor was once a nameless orphan, a shadow in the alleys of a dying empire. Now, reborn by the will of a forgotten Demon God, he walks a path of blood, betrayal, and stolen power. In a world where true power lies in Names—the sacred truths that define reality—Raen becomes a Thronedead, a forbidden being who devours the Names of gods, rewriting the laws of existence itself. But every name taken eats away at his soul. Every god slain brings him closer to madness, and the throne he seeks to destroy whispers temptations of its own. Alongside Lyra, a girl bound by forbidden magic and a haunting past, Raen ventures into cursed lands, unearths buried truths, and confronts horrors born from divine lies. Together, they will challenge the very foundation of the world. But can a man who devours identity remember who he truly is? Brutal. Philosophical. Unforgettable. Thronebreaker: The One Who Devours Names is a dark fantasy epic that weaves psychological depth, unique worldbuilding, and a power system unlike any you’ve seen before. ___________________________________ Join the Discord for updates, character art, announcements, and more: https://discord.gg/J9VsU5d7

One scam package, That's all it took to drag the 17-year-old Cail into the world of the void. ... He thought he had ordered a limited-edition sneakers. But what came was a shady-looking package on his front gate. It smelled like rotten egg and sulfur. Inside the package was a strange box. It's filled with eccentric junk. They looked very intricate and mysterious. He thought, ''I probably got someone else's package, a package from someone that was very interested in mysticism.'' An old coin, a cracked compass, a ring with an ugly center stone, and some other weird looking trinkets. So he did what any broke student would do: He sold it. He figured someone might want them for cosplay or something. Well, except the gold-rimmed glasses that seemed to fit him very well. "Damn, I paid 7,000 nu for that sneaker; I better get something out from this scam package." Then all hell broke loose. Strange people started approaching him. People brought that junk. Very strange people wearing suspicious get up trying to buy those stuff in the sketchiest manner possible. As he kept selling, he realized that the box was refilling, it seemed to have an endless supply of those strange stuff. Those people called it 'artifacts'. Then one day he woke up with a strange tattoo on his arm; inside the tattoo was an independent space containing the box. It is basically inseparable from him. "I didn't ask for any of this to happen. But now, strange people come to me with desperate offers. Money, memories, and even soul." He's just trying to survive high school while earning some money!

By day, he is just an ordinary student, a NPC character. And by night? He is The Dealer. Selling ancient items and dealing with people that he probably shouldn't be talking to. "Since I'm already in this mess, might as well profit off of it."

He was straight. Even after dying and waking up as the protagonist in his sister’s BL web novel. He was straight. Even with all the male leads practically throwing themselves at his feet. He was straight. Even when his heart inexplicably skipped a beat during romantic moments with one of them. He was straight. Even now... when he could somehow get pregnant. He was straight. There was no denying it. HE. WAS. STRAIGHT! "So, can someone please help me get out of this goddamn novel already?!" [Warning: 18+ content and there will be some themes of non-consent, mentions of abuse and suicide.]

‘I am an Eldritch Entity?’ Eryndor questioned himself when the seal to his powers broke. Eldritch Entities were one of the few beings who possessed both Telekinesis and Mind Reading abilities. He possessed both, and a few more. There were eight locked doors in his Golden Mind Palace. The same as the number of Outer Domains which invaded Earth after the emergence of Qi, Mana, Internal Energy, and Spiritual Energy. They brought with them the eight power systems - Cultivation, Magic, Martial Arts, Mentalist, Cyborg, Beast Taming, Demonic and Buddhist. Was eight doors a coincidence? Watch as Eryndor walks the pinnacle of Order - mastering all eight power systems, and conquers the path of Chaos - his anomalistic Eldritch abilities. ***** My inspiration for this work comes from the SCP universe, in which I added a bit of my creativity to make the power system and world building logical and consistent. The Synopsis, and First chapter go hand in hand. I urge you to read at least the first chapter before deciding. Last thing, this is NOT quick power leveling. It is more plot focused like LOTM and ORV (Not comparing myself to the greats, just letting y’all get the idea. Clues will be sprinkled throughout the novel, which will come together gradually with a twist). One bonus chapter for every 30 golden tickets. Thanks for reading!
