“I was sent to Hell for my sins… And laughed” Hell’s Escape is a dark, psychological action saga about damnation, survival… and the possibility of redemption. When the wicked die, they descend into a realm of fire and shadow—Hell, where the most corrupted souls, the Hellbound, face a gauntlet of seven deadly trials. Each trial is a crucible forged from a deadly sin and its opposing virtue. Only those who embody the virtues and resist the weight of their sin can ascend and be reborn. The rest are damned forever. Each Hellbound is branded with two marks: – A sin, granting cursed power that grows stronger the more it devours them. – A virtue, the key to real strength, and the only path to escape. Enter Damien Veyne, a manipulative murderer once feared as the devil himself. He has no illusions of sainthood and no desire for forgiveness. But in a system designed to grind monsters into martyrs, or erase them entirely, he’s forced to confront a harrowing truth: Only those who change survive. Only those who redeem escape. As Damien claws through monsters, sinners, and twisted reflections of humanity, a question stalks him like a shadow: Can a man built on lies ever find something real enough to redeem?

After a grueling year of conflict with the Winterbreeze Pack, Shayne finally returned to the Silver Moon Pack. However, his demeanor had shifted, much to Fenja's dismay. He seemed to be avoiding her, and it left her with a sense of unease. Then, one fateful day, she stumbled upon the truth: Shayne had been entangled with Nadia, his childhood best friend— the very woman he had told Fenja not to worry about. Heartbroken and furious, Fenja attempted to reject him. Yet, despite her pain, the alpha refused to let her go easily. His determination only deepened her anguish. The emotional turmoil escalated as tragedy struck Fenja, resulting in the loss of her wolf spirit. This devastating blow rendered her unable to shift into her beast, compounding her despair from the betrayal of her mate. In the end, Fenja made a tough decision to leave the pack behind. She went to the capital city, where she encountered the Alpha of the Red Moon Pack. The very alpha who made his enemy shiver in fear. However, Fenja sensed something was amiss with him—an unsettling aura that hinted at darkness lurking beneath the surface. There was something completely wrong with him. What had begun as a desire for refuge threatened to turn her life upside down once again, as secrets began to unravel and the stakes grew ever higher in her quest for healing and truth.

Hot people. Alien war. Dangerous love. Steven has the perfect body. Abs like steel. Eyes like ice. But inside him? Something alien. Something… hungry. It kills at night. It fakes being human by day. But the girls around him are starting to stir something deeper… Anna – cold, cruel, and beautiful. Red lips, deadly hands. Kiara – thong, gloss, and zero shame. She moans in combat. Kimberly – curves, blushes, and dangerous innocence. Lana – the commander. Hard as hell. Hotter than sin. Caitlyn – genius killer in a tight uniform. She’ll seduce you, then snap your neck. Laura – half-cyborg, half-sex-doll. Fully obsessed. Fully insane. And don’t worry – the guys are just as hot: Taze – silent, strong, and lowkey broken. Lasso – sexy scars, smooth lines, and deep trauma. They fight. They flirt. They bleed. They want. And some of them… fall so hard it kills. This is not just sci-fi. This is GESTRONIO – where love is lethal, and every touch might be the last.

In order to complete her mission in a barely recovered world after catastrophe, Arya decided to pretend to be a child and made trouble all day long. She managed to lurk for a few years when her superior suddenly decided to promote her to become a small group leader. Looking at the few people given to her, Arya was silent. Subordinate 1: so Arya likes cake… then I’ll make a few more for her Arya (blush): I only like it a little bit! And you’re using these cakes to exchange for information! Subordinate 2: When doing mission, how come Arya can change her faces so quickly (from unreliable to reliable)? Dual personality? Arya: …Nonsense! You’re the one who have dual personality! Subordinate 3: Why did you call us cute? As a big man nearly 1,9 meters tall, I don’t think I’m suitable for this adjective. Arya (shocked): I never said that! Damn it, who tarnished my reputation? Subordinate 4: Awww, Arya is so cute…. It’s hard to believe that she’s our leader. Arya: S… Sister, even if you say that, don’t try to pinch my cheek! Seeing their group that looked more like a group of adults taking of children, the other people were speechless. Are you sure that you’re a member of criminal organization? Why does it look like you’re trying to cultivate a group of people into a daddy and mommy experts? When Arya’s mission was finally completed, she chose to run away directly. But someone caught her and brought her favorite cake in front of her. “Don’t you want to taste it~?” Arya blushed. “You’re too foul!” ... Note: it's not harem nor reverse harem. It's 1vs1 from the beginning to the end. ...

I thought Logan Cross was my forever—until he dumped me in the middle of campus… and walked straight into another girl’s arms. Humiliated, heartbroken, and seconds from falling apart, I didn’t expect his older brother to kiss me in front of everyone. Damien Cross is nothing like Logan. He’s dangerous, brooding, and completely off-limits. He doesn’t do girlfriends. He doesn’t do rules. And he definitely doesn’t do second chances. But after that kiss, everyone’s watching. Logan wants me back. Damien wants me to play along. And I—I don’t know who I am anymore. Except now I’m not just the girl who got dumped. I’m the girl caught between two brothers. One wants to rewrite our past. The other wants to own my future. Who knew falling for the wrong brother could feel so right?

There have been many rich people in this world and no doubt, there'll be many more in the future. Someone asked me, “Mr. Drayce, today the financial world confirmed you've officially crossed the ten trillion mark… making you the richest man on Earth. But everyone knows your true wealth is far beyond what’s publicly known.” She swallowed, breath caught in her throat, and then asked the question everyone was dying to hear: “Just how rich are you, really?” I smirked, then, with the kind of calm arrogance only absolute power could create: “In heaven and earth, I am the richest. No one was richer than me. No one ever will be.” And then? Chaos. Absolute chaos. “World's First Ten Trillionaire Declares Himself the Richest Ever!” “Kaelen Drayce: God of Wealth or Just a Man?” “Heaven and Earth?! Did He Just Say That?” News networks broadcast it live. The internet went into meltdown. Stocks froze. Nations listened. Memes, debates, worship, and rage spread like wildfire. As for how I became the richest man in history? To answer that, we must go back to that fateful night— to a forgotten room, in a forgotten city, where a 19-year-old boy wept alone in the dark… Until the system found me.

Dual Cultivation It was the fastest cultivation method. The connection between two bodies, revealing the pleasure of being a man or a woman, this method had caught the eyes of several cultivators. But for someone who only had his eyes on something else, it was supposed to be nothing but a mere tool of progression. While others would add their dual cultivation partner to their harem, he only wanted to use them for his benefit. So, what would be better than giving him a simulation? An unknown system that carries the simulation for dual cultivation. It has met several people who couldn't walk on the path of dual cultivation and ended up losing themselves. But now, it had finally met a Host who was made for dual cultivation. A host who could separate reality from the simulation, a host who wouldn't lose himself in the pleasure of dual cultivation, and a host who despite having the benefits of the simulation would rely on himself to get stronger. This is the story of a young man who sees his dreams far greater than others. Even if he had no means to fulfill it. But, what if he did? What if he was granted the means to fulfill his dream? When granted the chance, he dived into the path of Dual Cultivation in Simulation without any hesitation. ####### While this story is focused on dual cultivation, it would focus more on the real world since that's where the story truly progresses. The simulation would be similar to the storytelling and it will slowly progress. Note- Don't read this book if you are not into mc dual cultivating with others people' women. ******* If you like this book, then support me with all the support you can give. Thank you for reading!

'Coherency is Blood, and Blood is Power.' Ilyas wasn't supposed to be banished to the surface; he was a diligent and pure-hearted Vault Dweller, so why? Why damn him to a desolate hell? But it wasn't as he thought it was. The surface wasn't just a figment of a bygone era devastated by an unfathomable war; no, it was a new era. A stronger era with things that shouldn't have survived, prospering. But worst of all, humanity wasn't the same. They were stronger, stranger and powerful enough to proclaim heavenly power. Yet once again, Ilyas the Vault Dweller found himself in an unfortunate position, pestered and oppressed by those who consolidated power in the new world. Ilyas had already faced despair once; he wasn't about to again.

Three months after her eighteenth birthday, her wedding was planned by her father and the Alpha King, along with his four hot, crazy, beautiful, but dangerous sons. Lucy didn’t know how that sounded by marrying to try to stop the war that had been going on between kingdoms for years. But having met the sons once at her mother’s party three years ago, she knew she was going into safe hands. She had spent time with one of them and had seen all of them that night. But after that, they barely recalled how she looked, because Selena, her cousin, had almost similar hair and eyes. They didn’t truly recognize her. All they knew was that once the princess arrived in their kingdom, she would be crowned as their bride and Luna. Now, on her way to the wedding with her cousin, she was betrayed. Selena had teamed up with her guards. Abandoned in the woods, Lucy watched as Selena stole her wedding dress and went to wed her Alphas. Lucy refused to accept defeat. She told the Alphas that she was the real princess, but no one believed her. Despite having the mate bond, they hated her even more. Everyone wanted her silent. Trapped in the Alphas’ kingdom, there was no escape for her. She was tortured like a slave. Framed for murder. Lied on by those she trusted most. But when the truth finally came to light, the Alphas regretted everything. Every bruise, every lie, every cruel word. They fell to their knees, begging her for forgiveness. This time, Lucy wasn’t here to forgive. She was the storm they never saw coming. And most of all, she got pregnant by one of them. Whoever the father was would become the Alpha King. Now, with a child destined to crown a king, only two questions remained. Who is the father… and who dares to face her wrath?

“He rejected me in front of the entire pack… because she stole my scent.” Nobody wants a rejected Omega. Ayla Riverwinddoesn’t care anymore. She's done waiting for fate. As Northmoon Pack’s healer, she’s content in the shadows—until the day her world burns. Her best friend, ‘Cassia’, uses forbidden scentbinding magic to steal Ayla’s identity and claim her mate—high-ranking Alpha ‘Darius’—as her own. Publicly rejected, shackled in silver, and tortured with wolfsbane, Ayla is cast into a dungeon and marked feral. The rejection was meant to break her. Instead, it awakens something ancient inside her. When she escapes into the Outlands, Ayla meets ‘Rylan Stormblade’—a rogue healer with secrets carved into his skin and knowledge of a lost ritual that may restore her scent... or kill her. But Ayla’s scent is no longer just hers. It burns through the bond realm, ripping through the senses of one wolf in particular—’Kael Valerius’, the Alpha King. His wolf goes feral when her scent touches the wind, but he already has a Luna. Now hunted by Alphas who want her dead, claimed by a King she doesn’t trust, and stalked by a prophecy that says “the next Luna will break the throne or bless it”, Ayla must rise—not as someone’s mate…but as the Luna they tried to erase.

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

They say that talent isn't important, and that hard work is what mattered. That was a lie. A very big lie spun by coaches so that talented players would train more. Talent mattered. A lot more than hard work. This was the painful truth I would come to realize after being released from three different clubs. There was no place for people who worked hard in football. If you were lucky enough to be born with talent, then you could make it with little to no effort, and if you weren't, then... you'll end up like me... living a life where football is your pain and your copium. I was about to give up, no, I had already given up. It was supposed to be over but then... [Ding! Unlimited Potential System Activated] What? What's that? A system? This system gives me talent? At an unbelievable level? Hahaha! Just wait, watch as I become the G.O.A.T.

Have you ever read a novel with such a terrible ending that you wished you could change the story and give the characters you loved the happy ending they deserved? ~~~ I was just another failure of an author, writing stories nobody read, and that never sold. Seeking to improve my writing, I read the most popular novel at that time, Solo Player, to learn what made it so popular. However, as I read this story, I couldn’t help but feel frustrated about the story’s development, which had a terrible ending. Eventually, and quite bitterly, once I ended reading the book, I found myself transmigrated into the very world of this novel. Did I become the Protagonist? A Villain? Or perhaps even an Extra? No, it was much worse than I imagined. Because I ended up becoming the most worthless character that nobody ever cared about in the novel. A character that is often considered the motivation for the protagonist to grow stronger, but also his greatest burden. Someone every reader hated! “I’m the protagonist’s sister…” However, with my knowledge of this novel's events, my worthlessness was about to change. I’ve decided to not only become the strongest but also change the story’s terrible ending! “I won’t let you go inside a Dungeon, it’s too dangerous.” ...As long as I can get this incredibly corny and overprotective brother out of my way! And for some reason, the Constellations won’t stop bothering me. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Butterfly That Flies Across The Universe} seems interested in your tenacity!] [She has sponsored 1000000 Plot Points and the [Demon of Calamity Transformation Technique (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Monkey that Dances in Chaos} finds your chaotic nature amusing!] [He has thrown the [Umbral Chaos Stone Necklace (S Rank)] at you!] [Not enough? He launched the [Immortal Heaven Peach (SSS Rank)] right on your face!] There was something really wrong with the Constellations this time around. Ding! [The Cosmic Throne {Jester Filled With Lies} is happy that you’re bringing despair to your victims!] [He has gifted you the [Jester’s Last Laugh (S Rank Privilege)] and the [Master of Manipulation (SS)] Skill!] [The Cosmic Throne {Maiden that Watches Over Nature} seems happy you’re growing stronger.] [She has gracefully sponsored you with 2000000 Plot Points and Fully Heals All Your Wounds!] [She has also begun to wonder if you could plant some trees for her, gifting you the [Divine World Tree Seedling (SSS Rank)]!] [The Cosmic Throne {Warrior That Seeks Calamity} is satisfied with your battle performance but asks for more battle!] [He has sponsored you with 500000 Plot Points and [Beheading Sword of Destruction (SSS Rank)]!] They simply couldn’t stop gifting me things as if I were some sort of famous streamer for them. “I am grateful, but please just leave me alone already…” Chapters are long, 1500 ~ 2000+ words.

The first tremor struck softly—just a mere whisper—beneath the streets of New Orleans. The rings of an empty glass registering a distortion, a muted vibration not yet perceptible to the human ear. It began at 3:17 p.m. local time. In that moment, no one noticed. How this small moment, killed Earth entirely.
