[Matured Content]
Saving an injured Fae in the forest had not been Islinda's plan, and worse, he turns out to be royalty, Prince Valerie of the summer court, heir and crown prince to the throne of Astaria.
But then, humans were wary of those otherworldly creatures while the Fae looked down on the humans, thinking of them as lesser creatures. Islinda and the prince were worlds apart but that didn't stop them from falling in love.
Unfortunately, Prince Valerie couldn't stay in the human realm forever and had to return to his kingdom with a promise to come back for her. And she believed him.
But then, the other one comes instead.
Dark, broody, ruthless yet dangerously handsome, everyone feared Prince Aldric. Even as a fierce warrior and son to the king of Astaria, Aldric is denied his right to the throne and cursed never to take his place because of his dark heritage.
Twisted from the inside and starved of affection, Prince Aldric does what he is best at, causing misery. He captured Islinda - the woman who has drawn his brother's attention. He stole her from her home for his cruel purpose. If he couldn't have the throne, he could at least play around with his brother's love interest. His new prize.
Islinda hated him. Loathed him for taking away everything that she could have had with the summer prince. He's the villain. Now she has been dragged into the middle of the dirty politics played in the courts of Astaria, not to mention surviving the cold games played by the prince.
But all hope wasn't lost because the cruel prince could tempt her all he wants but he was never going to get the one thing he wants the most. To be loved. He would never have her heart!
Or could he?

"What can you offer me, little human," He grinned, slow and cruel. She would make such a wonderful plaything.
"Please," She begged him, tears now gathering in her eyes, "Just let me go."
"Fine," He shrugged as if it was an easy request, "You can go."
"W-what?" She croaked, finding it hard to believe.
"Little human, you would find out my mind changes very easily." Those words sounded merciful yet she could sense the threat beneath.
But did he really mean?
Islinda didn't sit around to find out as she broke into a sprint. If there was even the slightest chance of him changing his mind, then she would take it. She would not give up hope yet.
She didn't know why but Islinda spared a look over her shoulder after a while and the blood drained from her face at what she saw coming.
Oh no, she just made a terrible mistake.
This was never freedom.
It was a hunt.
And she just became the prey.

[WARNING: EXTREMELY MATURE CONTENT]
“If you ever come near my woman again, I will find you, brutally torture you, and unleash hell's wrath upon you for the rest of eternity."
Her story with him should've never been said. Their world was as cruel as it was cunning. Werewolves rained terror upon humans as warriors of the nation. Vampires ruled high society with an iron fist.
All her life, Ophelia wondered why the vampires and werewolves in the kingdom never attacked her—only to realize she was declared off-limits ten years ago. Yet, the entire realm was fighting over the rights to her body—or her life. But why? And what for?
Han Sheng Li is the Crown Prince of the Great Han kingdom. Since the age of fourteen, he mostly went to the wars with his father, Han Wenji, the great emperor of the Han Kingdom. He's the most favored child of his father but, is the cruelest and ruthless among all of his seven half brothers.
An-Ying Lili, who is known for her kindness and beauty, is the princess of Juyan City. She could not see her family die at the hands of Han Sheng Li so agreed with the marriage alliance which was put forward by the Emperor of Han.

“I heard you are the kindest woman in the entire Han Kingdom but, it seems opposite to me. You want me to die!!” The Crown Prince astonishingly said, keeping his icy gaze intact on the woman on his bed.
“Cruel people are not worthy of anyone’s kindness,” the Crown princess pronounced sternly.
The crown prince chuckled. “Kindest is the one who whimpers in pain. Are you ready for undergoing that pain with this cruel man?” Crown prince asked, slightly tilting his head, and a smirk formed on his lips.
Leaning closer to Ying Lili's ear, Sheng Li whispered, "Never expect love from this evil and cruel man. Feed this in your mind- 'You will never warm my bed.' Remember this memorable wedding night, my dear Crown Princess."

# rapiddevelopment
Li Hao mumbled, “Huh? Someone escaped from prison? Hmm? Why is there an exclamation mark on the bounty notice?”
[Pay 200 yuan and you will receive information about the prison breaker's location. What are you waiting for?]

Li Hao exclaimed, “A question mark above this box of pills?"
[This is a box of life-saving pills. It can save the life of an old man. Accept the mission and head to the location and you will receive an unexpected surprise!]
Text Game: It All Began when a Cat-eared Girl Took Me In
Everything started when Luo Xi was forcibly installed by an unscrupulous game company with a so-called daily text game called "Dawn".
But he quickly discovered that this was far from a normal, everyday text game.
Like this message - [Traveler, you can't be lewd!]
And what the hell is this?
Luo Xi fell into deep thought as he looked at the big brick pulled out from his bag.
It was only when the adorable little loli with beast ears appeared in front of him, Luo Xi realised things were spiraling out of control.
A lowly slave finds herself at odds with the merciless crown prince, their fates dangerously entwined, and meant to separate only with her inevitable death by his hand.
Sold to a brothel as a child, she wore the mask of insanity to escape the brutal clutches of life that awaited her, but it only brought her to another hell. She persisted, hoping to one day find her freedom and return to the ethereal valleys where she was born.
All Alyssane desired was to find her home.
One night of mystery and murder thrusts her into a dangerous game-shards of her memories are missing, she is accused of a fatal crime she could not escape, and her path entangles her with the cruel prince.
She knows how things would end.
But deceiving fates could be impossible when the man supposed to end her life is both her captive and her savior, when he is cold and menacing yet so easily mesmerizes her with his sweet nothings.
His sins are known far wide and are darker than any nightmares plaguing her mind. She knows their fates together would entangle in a brutal mess, though it doesn’t stop her heart from fluttering like a caged bird whenever he is near.
And he’s always near.
Stirring a heat inside no forbidden thing ever should.
In a world where love is a treacherous game, and vicious schemes are whispered behind every shadow, Alyssane must use every ounce of her charm and cunning to survive, even if it means enchanting the cruel prince out for her blood.
⋅•⋅⊰∙∘☽༓☾∘∙⊱⋅•⋅
The crown prince's fingers trailed down her back, a slow, deliberate path that sent a shiver, half fear half something she did not dare name, through Alyssane. His gaze held hers, intense and unwavering.
“What are you hiding?”
He murmured, his breath hot against her skin as she defiantly met his eyes, “Maybe I don’t you to find out.”
A sly smile curled over his lips and he leaned in, his warmth flooded her heart with mixed emotions, in contrast to the coldness of his eyes with a thinly veiled threat, “Are you sure?”
"What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.
His eyes locked onto hers, filled with a dark promise.
“Everything.”

The Reincarnated Mercenary's Only Skill is Item Box
"No one ever helped me no matter how much I suffered. So, tell me...why would I help others if there's no benefit to it for me?"
After being sold off by his parents to human traffickers due to a physical deformity and ending up as a resident of the underworld, a jaded mercenary is killed during a mission gone wrong.
"If only there was a way to carry my entire arsenal of weapons without weighing myself down..."
As he dies, he suddenly find himself waking up in a younger, unfamiliar body, in an unfamiliar world. He finds himself in a rundown orphanage located in a medieval world full of Magic and Monsters, his new body weak and frail. His new name is Jaedfern Meraled, or Jade for short.
But he's not alone in being sent to this world...along with him for the ride is the Angel Arkiela, who was banished to this world for interfering with the human world out of boredom. Specifically, she used her powers to feed and amplify people's impulses and intrusive thoughts, including the people around Jade, whom she targeted to, in her words, "mess with", and subsequently went on to ruin his life.
She then claims that their lives are now intertwined...if one of them dies, so will the other. While being uncertain as to whether she's being honest about that or lying so that he can't afford to kill her, Jade can't exactly risk putting it to the test, so he errs on the side of caution.
Grudgingly, he decides to accept her presence around him, having no other choice in the matter. With that settled, she reveals that when people are reincarnated with their memories intact, they're given OP powers, usually as a reward or consolation for their circumstances in their previous life, and she then checks what abilities he's been bestowed with.
In this world, there are three main elements to a person's Magic...their Magic Class; which is the core of their abilities, their Mana Pool; the quantity of Magical energy they possess, and finally, their Skills; special abilities that include active powers such as Appraisal and passive powers such as Heat Resistance. Each person possesses three Skills, without exception.
As for Jade, his Magic Class is...well, he doesn't have one. And his Mana Pool...is nonexistent, he possesses no Magical energy whatsoever. And finally, his Skills...he only has one, titled "Mercenary's Item Box", a dimensional storage power with a number of abilities that can be unlocked by Leveling Up the Skill.
Most people who are reincarnated are given OP powers, rewarded for either living a virtuous life, or as consolation for living a tortured life. But sometimes, people who've lived sinful lives, can be punished instead, bestowed with the bare minimum of abilities in worlds where such abilities are everything.
And Jade is the latter.
However, Jade may not necessarily be as bad off as it initially seems...because within his Item Box, is every weapon he owned during his previous life, weapons that don't exist in this world. Will it give him enough of an advantage to survive, and ideally thrive, in this medieval world rampant with violent crime and dangerous Monsters? One thing's for sure, it certainly won't be easy...
He is a boy, but he isn't human. Every full moon, his form will change to be Werewolf. And He was pure werewolf blood. His father was named the King Cronos Werewolf with black hair which means strength and his mother is Queen Rhea, a white-haired werewolf which means Chastity.
Unfortunately, Harmes's happiness had to be taken away. He was separated from his father when he was a baby. And he also lost his mother after dying to save him from the pursuit of the vampire who caught up with him.
He lives with Matheus, who saves himself from the disturbance of the Vampire and it is also on the orders of Queen Rhea to take away from the vampires who already know his whereabouts and also Hermes, his son.
Then, how about with Hermes's life be like after being saved by Matheus? Will he be able to take revenge for the attack of the vampire nation that killed his parents and destroyed his kingdom?
"I will get my revenge! I must get my revenge!"
Fengge is the Crown Prince of the heavenly realm but he was born with immerse powers that causes panic to arise. Without realizing it, Fengge is betrayed and forced to lose everything. Many years pass and the three realms think Fengge has died causing peace to reign for a short while. But soon he returns with only one goal in mind. That is to take everything from his enemies. He will spare no one including the love of his life, Jiayi who played a major key in his betrayal.
Vernon Balxor sank into depression after the doctor diagnosed him with a chronic heart condition, shattering his dream of becoming a professional boxer. His life took a drastic turn, filled with humiliation and inevitable poverty.
Meanwhile, his old friend, Xander Watson, had successfully become an MMA world champion, an achievement that made Vernon proud despite his own downfall. However, that pride turned to anger when Xander, without any sympathy, mocked Vernon's weak physical condition and poverty. Provoked by the insult, Vernon punched Xander, sparking a fierce fight between them.
The fight ended tragically for Vernon. His frail condition left him powerless against Xander’s blows, eventually putting him in a coma. But when Vernon finally opened his eyes in the hospital, he was shocked to see a transparent screen appear in front of him, displaying the words:
[CONGRATULATIONS, HOST! YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE BOXING MASTER SYSTEM]
With this new system, Vernon was given a second chance to pursue his lost dream and vowed to defeat Xander, the friend who had betrayed him. He swore that his life would never be the same again.
