*** My health has been very poor this year alongside loosing my mother-in-law and cat so I'm sorry but this will be rewritten and finished when I'm well, I'm doing it all offline in my rare creative moments, hopefully with a more mature touch *** [WARNING: Mature Themes (smut, violence, murder, suicide, domestic violence, etc.)] --------- Waking up naked and alone with a murderer, without a single memory, she relies on System to understand her existence in another person's body. --------- Still don't know if you should read me? Here's a quick breakdown to help you make up your mind if this novel is right for you: This is my own twist on the QuickTransmigration System genre, giving it a more 'spiritual' twist. It explores sensitive themes throughout each arc and I will do my best to give trigger warnings at the start of chapters containing them. It is written in the first person and revolves around a female lead (FL). This is a weak-to-strong novel, she will have heavy flaws and make repeated mistakes and seem generally weak at the start, bear with her as she grows. Romance is a heavy theme within the story that contains a lot of smut, with more than one character. However, there is only one male lead in the end. The story is less about fluffy romance, instead, it's a journey of growth and self-discovery, revolving around the main storyline. Although, each Arc will have its own separate storyline that will have an impact on the main storyline with both new and reoccurring characters (so skipping arcs is not advised). I have currently written the rough drafts for four arcs at the point of writing this: 1. Ghosts & Guns 2. How do you keep a child alive in the Zombie Apocalypse? 3. Abducted by Aliens 4. Freed by the Fae Folk 5. .... --------- --------- Cover Art made by myself, using nightcafe AI Art, check out my page, I'm attempting to make novel art and character art for each arc: https://creator.nightcafe.studio/u/Raychbunni

[Warning: Mature Content, Gore, R-18+] The Kingdom offered Mirabelle to the World Eater as a sacrifice. Instead, he made her his queen. Now Mirabelle commands the nightmare called Revas: beautiful, terrifying, and bound to her in blood and devotion. With a single word, he would tear kingdoms apart and drown the world in blood just to make her smile. They thought they were feeding a monster. But they were crowning a goddess. In a love story of blood and butterflies, the world will end with a beautiful, devastating flutter of wings. Excerpt: Revas knelt before her, his massive frame making the throne of bones he had built for her in the Abyss look small. The air smelled of fresh slaughter. "You are shaking, little Princess," he purred, his voice a low rumble that vibrated against her chest. He reached out, a clawed hand hovering near her throat. "Are you finally afraid?" Mirabelle didn't flinch. She stepped forward, closing the distance until the cold silver of his collar pressed against her stomach. She reached up, not to push him away, but to thread her fingers through his snow-white hair, forcing him to look up at her. "I am shaking," she admitted, her voice void of warmth. "But not from fear, Revas." His pupils dilated. "Then what?" "Anticipation," she replied, a cruel smile touching her lips. "I’m thinking about how their screams will sound when I let you off this leash." Revas froze. Then, slowly, a grin spread across his face, predatory, worshipful, and completely unhinged. He pressed his cheek against her palm, nuzzling into her touch like a starving wolf. "Then give the command, Mistress," he breathed. "And I will turn this world into a graveyard for you." -------------------- Let's Connect: Instagram: dolly_.roma Discord: DollyRoma#7887 ** The beautiful cover art belongs to me and was comissioned by elkshan (Instagram)

A world of mist, lies, and sleeping gods. --- In Sven, borders don't exist. Cultures mingle, eras overlap—Victorian carriages stand alongside glass skyscrapers. A magnificent world. A world that lies. For beneath this facade of harmony, creatures lurk. Hereditary powers, the Chernobyls, are passed down from generation to generation. But these powers are divine prisons—limits imposed by a god who doesn't want humans to believe themselves superior. And above it all, 88 constellations sleep in the sky. One day, they will awaken. And on that day, humanity may well descend into madness. --- Welcome to Sven. Praise be to the Creator.

Matías Castleboard was the last shield of a doomed humanity. Born in an era where death was law, he learned too soon that innocence never survives war. He was a soldier, a hero… and a murderer. He died seeking peace, yet his soul found no rest. Reborn as Kael Lanpar, heir to one of the most powerful clans in the continent of Mayora, he now lives in a world of ancient magic, forgotten races, mythical creatures, and gods who play with the threads of fate. But the past never truly dies. The scars of his former life bleed into this one, and with every memory that awakens, Kael is dragged deeper into a question few could bear to face: Can a second life offer redemption… or only more damnation? Because some truths should never be known. And as Kael uncovers the mysteries of this world —and of himself— he will learn that knowledge does not always set you free. Sometimes, it destroys you. At the end of his path, no enemy awaits him… Only something far more terrifying: a consciousness that sees everything— and a truth that can never be unlearned. A dark, introspective fantasy about second chances, wounds that transcend lifetimes, and the price of understanding too much. Perfect for readers who seek not just battles… but meaning.
