(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.

(Ab 18 und dunkle Themen, du wurdest gewarnt.) Klappentext: Während meiner Gefangenschaft durch meinen Gefährten sehe ich einen Mann, der an der Wand des Kerkers lehnt, seine Arme und Beine mit schweren Eisenketten umwickelt. Nur bekleidet mit zerfetzten Fetzen eines schwarzen Gewandes ist seine geisterhaft weiße Haut größtenteils zu sehen. Tätowierungen wie Rauch ziehen sich von seinem Hals bis zur Seite seines gutaussehenden und markant gemeißelten Gesichts, aber es sind die Augen, die mich in Trance versetzen. Tiefrot wie frisch vergossenes Blut, eine so reiche Schattierung, und sie starren mich mit solcher Intensität direkt an, dass ich vergesse zu atmen. Meine Hand greift nach dem Eisengitter, und ich halte mich fest, als seine geschwungenen Lippen sich bewegen und er nur ein Wort ausspricht, das meine Welt zum Einsturz bringt und meine Magie außer Kontrolle geraten lässt. "Gefährtin!" Meine Welt zerbricht bei seinen Worten. "Du kannst mich sehen?" fragt er als nächstes, mit einer Stimme ruhiger und doch tiefer als der Mariana-Graben. Sie flüstert um mich herum, murmelt gegen meine Haut, als versuche sie, etwas Schlafendes zu wecken. "Ja, warum sollte ich das nicht können?" frage ich, leicht verwirrt. Eine Falte legt sich auf meine Stirn. "Niemand sonst kann es", antwortet er mit einem verletzten Lächeln, das mein Herz zerreißt. Synopsis: In dieser postapokalyptischen Welt werden Feen gnadenlos gejagt und getötet, weil sie für die Apokalypse verantwortlich gemacht werden, die die Hälfte der Bevölkerung vernichtete. Mit 20 Jahren ist Amaia Zhāng eine Fee und die letzte ihrer Art, zumindest glaubt sie das. Ihre Familie und ihr ganzes Dorf wurden von der Schreckensarmee im Namen der Friedenswahrung massakriert. Sie ist die einzige Überlebende und hält ihr Aussehen verborgen. Aber sie macht es zu ihrer Mission, jeden Tag zu trainieren und stark genug zu werden, um ihre Art zu rächen. Während eines Kampfes mit einem Monster verlässt und verstößt ihr Gefährte sie, um sein eigenes Leben zu retten. Mit gebrochenem Herzen bleibt Amaia keine andere Wahl, als der Orion-Akademie beizutreten. Sie ist die Heimat der größten Jäger und Vollstrecker ihres Kontinents. Es ist eine Welt, in der Jäger und Vollstrecker wie Prominente behandelt werden. Sie weiß, dass das Training ihr helfen wird, ihre Rachepläne zu erfüllen und eine angesehene Jägerin zu werden. Und vielleicht findet sie unterwegs einen neuen Gefährten. Aber die Wendung des Schicksals, Täuschung und Verführung durch den Mann, der sie eigentlich an die Orion-Akademie empfehlen soll, hinterlässt ihr einen Fluch und einen befleckten Ruf. Ein Fluch, der verhindert, dass ihr Gefährte/ihre Gefährten sie erkennen und der Amaia daran hindert, ihnen mitzuteilen, wer sie für sie ist. Wie sich herausstellt, ist Amaia mit Hybrid-Alphas von Orion verbunden, aber keiner von ihnen kann die Gefährtenbindung spüren, und sie glauben, sie wolle sie verführen. "Hab etwas Würde, Amaia. Du hast deinen Gefährten verlassen und versuchst jetzt deine Verführungstechniken bei mir. Ich habe eine Verlobte", funkelt Alnilam, ihr erster Gefährte, sie an. "Schau mich nicht so an, Mädchen. Ich spare mich für meinen Gefährten auf", zwinkert Alnitak, ihr zweiter Gefährte. "Bleib weg von mir. Du bist nicht mein Gefährte", tadelt Mintaka, ihr dritter Gefährte. "Ich werde einen Kranz aus den Knochen deines Ex-Gefährten bringen. Wie konnte er es wagen, dich zu verletzen?" Entschlossenheit blitzt in den Augen von Rigel, ihrem vierten Gefährten, auf. Jedes Mal, wenn sie sie abweisen und sich dafür entscheiden, mit ihren auserwählten Frauen intim zu sein, spürt sie jeden Hauch von Schmerz und Verletzung. Inmitten des Chaos und Herzschmerzes an einem Ort, wo Feinde sich offen verstecken. Kann Amaia diesen Fluch brechen und ihre Gefährten dazu bringen, sie als die Ihrige zu erkennen? Hat sie vier Gefährten oder gibt es noch eine weitere verborgene Wendung? Wird sie eine erfolgreiche Jägerin werden und ihre Identität vor der Welt verbergen und gleichzeitig ihre Rache ausführen? Lies weiter, um es herauszufinden.

Orion has always been a simple man, living until the day of his unexpected death. On the threshold of existence, he is granted a second chance in a world of cultivation, guided by the Primordial System, an omnipotent entity capable of granting any wish. But Orion does not seek fame or achievement. His only request is clear: absolute cultivation, the ultimate power to shape destiny as he sees fit. Now, reborn in an incomparable body, he discovers that power is not everything. To achieve true greatness, he must build something greater: an empire that transcends time and subdues even the heavens. Now having a moment to enjoy himself, but still facing the mysteries of the System itself, Orion embarks on a journey to become not only a legendary cultivator, but the Primordial Emperor, the man who will redefine the rules of the world.

This is not a story of clear-cut heroes or villains, nor is it a tale of moral absolutes. It is a narrative of survival amidst dire circumstances, where the power of Magecraft shapes the era and legends come to life. In a world where myths thrive and magical forces dominate, a group of unlikely allies battles not just for glory, but for the very survival of their world and its people—because, after all, they are the ones who call it home.

Elara Vance is the Agency’s finest—a ghost in the system trained to dismantle empires from the inside. Her mission is simple: infiltrate the Valerius crime family, gain the trust of their cold-blooded heir, Julian Valerius, and provide the evidence needed to bury them forever. ​But Julian isn't the monster the headlines described. He is a man of calculated silence and lethal protective instincts. As Elara climbs the ranks to become his most trusted "Shadow," the line between her duty and her desire begins to bleed. When she discovers that her own handlers might be the ones holding the real smoking gun, Elara must decide: Does she finish the mission and destroy the man she’s falling for, or does she betray her country to save a king

[MatureContent! You are Warned! BL - Boys' Love] Yu Chen, a 30-year-old bachelor and the CEO of a massive multi-company conglomerate, had finally planned to enjoy a quiet dinner with the love of his life, Baihu. However, after working overtime on a project and sorting through mountains of documents for over a week, he was exhausted and decided to take a well-deserved rest. But as soon as he shut one eye to drift off, something strange happened. He found himself suddenly transported to a completely different world—one where cultivation and magic were not just myths, but very real! The bustling, high-tech city he knew was replaced by a fantastical realm, brimming with powerful cultivators, magical beasts, and arcane mysteries. Yu Chen blinked in disbelief, still processing the bizarre turn of events. How had he gone from planning a peaceful dinner with Baihu to being thrown into a world where the impossible was everyday life? His journey into this new reality was only beginning, and he had no idea what challenges, dangers, or even adventures awaited him.

"The Last Bark of Orion" Bolt isn't your average Siberian Husky. Cruising the cosmos aboard the freighter Wanderlust with his pragmatic human captain, Eva Rostova, he’s a wisecracking, genetically-enhanced canine with the ability to talk and senses that reach beyond human understanding. His life, already extraordinary, catapults into the heart of an ancient galactic war when a mysterious signal from the Orion constellation awakens dormant ancestral memories within him—terrifying echoes of an eons-old conflict between star-faring Canid and Felid empires, both engineered by a vanished, god-like race known as the Progenitors. Plunged into a universe of intrigue and escalating danger, Bolt and Eva discover the truth behind the legends. The "Heart of Orion," a colossal and fractured Progenitor power source, pulses with unimaginable energy—a force that ruthless factions from both Canid and Felid empires now desperately seek to control, believing it the ultimate weapon. They see Bolt, with his unique Progenitor-linked "seed of hope" granting him profound empathy and a unique connection to the Heart, as the unwilling key to taming and wielding its devastating might. Hunted across the stars by formidable warlords who misunderstand the cryptic prophecy of "The Last Bark of Orion" as a command for conquest, Bolt is caught between warring ideologies. As he grapples with the terrifying allure of the power the Heart offers and the immense pressure to choose a side, his "First Echoes"—shared, agonizing memories from both sides of the conflict—pull him towards a different path. He begins to suspect that the "Last Bark" isn't a call to arms, but a complex, misunderstood Progenitor failsafe designed not to empower a victor, but to heal the fractured Heart and perhaps the galaxy itself. With Eva as his anchor, Bolt must navigate treacherous alliances and deadly confrontations, racing against time to understand the true nature of the Last Bark before the Heart of Orion is unleashed as a doomsday weapon. His choice will determine not only his own fate but whether the galaxy succumbs to an even greater cataclysm or takes its first fragile step towards a new dawn, founded on understanding rather than endless war.

"I'm new to the country... Not the fights." These were the cold words of a man with glowing green eyes under the raining dark clouds, as smoke was still burning in his cigarette while he was grabbing the arm of another guy stuck beneath his leg, begging for mercy. "Ack! My arm! My arm! Spare me! I won't come back! Spa-" *Crack* The sounds of bone cracking were deafening, and in the eyes of that man, his leg suddenly widened on the verge of popping out his skull, as at the same time, a grin covered the face of that man smoking cigerette. With a grin filled with deep and dark satisfaction, he coldly announced while releasing that twisted arm on the ground.  "Oops, it broke." "Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh! My arm! My arm!!!! You fucking monster! Why!?? Why!?! Uwaaah!!! I will fucking-" "Oye? Fuck, are you threatening?" The cries and screams threatening others went silent as fast as they had come. The next second, several more sounds of bone cracking were heard in a row as the burning cigerette was pushed right into his ears. "Ah! It's burning! It hurts! It hurts!!!!" "Should I have that thought before trying to start this whole situation?" He collected up his grey hairs falling on his face, and while pulling them back, revealing glowing, cold green pupils, he left the bloody night with a metal baseball bat in his hand and the man with a crushed arm on the rainy ground, along with a whole gang of delinquents all unconscious in the same night during the same fight against one man who was born a legend... And will die a god.  --- oh yeah btw, everything here is just shit I made up sitting on toilet seat, I mean fictional, it's fictional novel aimed towards realism, add it to your booklist, much appreciated cool dude, (fuck you loser for not adding this gold in your booklist, tsk thu!) ---

They say blood is thicker than water, but in Los Angeles, blood is also currency. McKenzie Tanner Mandera has spent months on the run, from secrets, from betrayal, and from the crime world boss who calls himself her husband. All she wants is to keep her daughter safe and her past buried. But when enemies close in and truths begin to unravel, McKenzie’s family history becomes the kind of secret people kill for. Now, with blood spilling and loyalties breaking, she’s caught between the man who protected her through hell…and the one willing to risk everything to keep her safe. McKenzie must choose: love or survival…there’s no room for both. Dwayne Jackson returned to L.A. only to face the ghost that’s haunted him for seventeen years: McKenzie. When he sees her again…broken, hunted, and defiant, he’s determined to make things right. But when he takes on a high-profile case defending a notorious crime boss, his life explodes into chaos. What starts as a legal battle becomes an all-out war between crime families. As corruption rises and lines blur between enemies and allies, Dwayne must choose: uphold the law…or become the weapon his enemies fear. Because in this world, justice is never given. It’s taken. No one is safe. Not the women. Not the children. And so rises the Black Crown, not born in a city… but in a war the world didn’t see coming.

Orion was barely holding himself together. Once a top student and athlete, he now drifts through life, using games and sleep to escape the weight he can't explain until reality itself started breaking. Something appears that shouldn’t exist. What follows isn’t coincidence. It’s controlled. Measured. Hidden. An unseen system. An organization that manages what the world never notices. And Orion… wasn’t supposed to be part of it. But after one moment one interference he becomes something they can’t ignore. Because whatever has started… isn’t stopping.
