Beneath His Skin

Stephie_writes
Caution: This book contains mature content and is intended for matured readers. ***** I knew if he left this room, he'd keep fighting alone until his heart simply gave up. I hated him for it. I hated him for being so difficult, but the thought of him being gone made my stomach turn into a block of ice. My brain went numb. My instincts took over. I stepped in front of the door. My hands were shaking so hard I could barely feel them. I grabbed the hem of my dress. I can't believe I'm doing this for a man I wanted to kill an hour ago, I thought. But whatever was pulling me, didn't care about my anger. In one fast, desperate motion, I pulled the dress over my head and let it drop. The cold air hit my bare skin, making my nipples turn into hard, sensitive pebbles instantly. I stood there, completely naked, my heart hammering so loud it echoed in my ears. Oh! Moon Goddess, just end me already. **** She was too weak to stand beside him. And his heart already belonged to another. Azura Moryn knows the rules of the Crescent Moon Pack:power is everything, and without it, you are nothing. Rankless and orphaned, she has survived on the edges by being invisible. But invisibility is not weakness, it’s a choice. Behind her quiet exterior is a resilient spirit, a surprising bravery, and a clumsy, lovable heart that refuses to be crushed, even when the odds are impossible. Rhydor Drakemire has everything. Alpha of the Crescent Moon Pack, feared and respected. Groomed for greatness. And deeply in love with the woman he plans to make his Luna. So when fate makes Azura his mate, the choice is simple. He rejects her. A weakling has no place beside an Alpha. And he refuses to give up the woman he loves. The bond should have shattered. Instead, something ancient awakens. Forbidden magic stirs beneath the pack lands. Golden light erupts. Pain tears through them both. And when they wake, the world is wrong. Azura opens her eyes inside the Alpha’s body, strong, powerful, untouchable. Rhydor wakes in hers, powerless, scorned, and unseen. Now their souls switch without warning, trapping them in each other’s skin while enemies circle closer and the pack begins to fracture. Every secret they uncover changes what they thought they knew, about strength, about weakness, about each other. And beyond the pack borders, a brutal Alpha King rises, draining Lunas and hunting power in his obsession with immortality. Old prophecies resurface. Whispers spread of a truth long buried: Only a female Alpha can bring him down. As forbidden magic stirs and betrayal creeps closer than loyalty, an ancient legacy refuses to stay buried any longer. Azura is about to learn the truth of her own blood. And the mate Rhydor rejected may be the one fate chose to change everything. Some bonds are broken by pride. Some curses are written in blood. And some destinies can only be uncovered…

Kaleidoscopic DxD

Second compilation of my Harunaru stories. ( BOOK I ) Haru Hyoudou & the Demon King of Sixth Heaven Falling into a magic circle is one thing. Meeting a scary gun lady inside of it? That was scary. But turning into her, succeeding her, and inheriting her legend? Yeah, that was the icing on the cake. Haru Hyoudou was perfectly fine with that, though, and if anything, the gender change was secondary. (Or so she learned.) ( BOOK II ) Haru Hyoudou & the Great King of Destruction Haru Hyoudou found himself involved in a figurative "holy war". A grail that can grant omnipotent wishes? Fast way to become a Harem King! ... if he can survive the other enemy Masters first. Hey, at least he's got a smoking hot Servant with him! ( BOOK III ) Haru Hyoudou & the Fox Priestess of Peerless Beauty Haru Hyoudou was always normal. And a pervert. The odds of him ever finding a girl were slim. So when Yuuma Amano approached him, there were no words that could described the happy feeling in his heart. And then she attempted to kill him, revealing her true nature. At that moment, however, Haru's desperate pleas for someone to save him woke something inside of him. A secret that he was not aware of. Something that a certain vampiric troll is watching with great enthusiasm. ( BOOK IV ) Beloved Daughter of Konoha Kakashi fell to his knees, trying his hardest to stem the flow of tears from his eyes and clutching a hand to his chest, trying his hardest to stop the ache coming from his heart. Neither was successful. "Best. Team. Ever." He declared, weeping tears of joy. In which Naruko is a pervert, Satsuki is gullible and Sakura is the only sane woman. ( BOOK V ) Beloved Daughter of Grigori Naruko was given to Zelretch by Kushina after he showed her the kind of life Naruko would live and in turn Zelretch gave Naruko to Azazel to raise as his adopted daughter. Now as Naru Branwen, she has become well known to the supernatural world, along with being given the Down Fall Dragon Spear. ( BOOL VI ) Beloved Daughter of Gremory Reincarnation, it's a funny thing. With hopes of it happening, one of the most pure souls gets her wish. Family. The one thing she truly wanted more than anything else. ( BOOK VII ) Princess of Chaldea & The Great Holy Grail War Haruka Fujimaru, desperate for more SSRs, accepts a mystery man's offer to replace a Master in a Great Holy Grail War. With knowledge of the future and her only SSR fighting beside her in real life, Haruka plots to mess up the entire storyline just for the 1000 Saint Quartz reward. ( BOOK VIII ) Tale of the Harem Queen Naru Nanami, a girl who has no family finds herself caught up in a world full of Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels. Together with her best friend Haru, she won't only learn that death isn't easy, but how to help their friends. ( BOOL IX ) Emperor's Roar Haru Hyoudou used to have a corrupt and perverted mind. But after his training with Tannin the dragon king, he refused continuing to be the perverted fool. Watch as this new Emperor takes the supernatural world by storm while creating a new path bathed in a crimson glow. ( BOOK X ) Ascension of the Fallen Emperor After the sealing of Trihexa, one might expect Haru Hyoudou to finally find peace. However, a single discovery changes everything. Now on his own, confused, and his heart in pieces, Haru and the one person who sticks beside him must race against an ancient being whose machinations could spell the destruction of all Creation. ( BONUS ) Crusade of Eostia A thousands-strong army of Christians is sent to a faraway land known as Eostia. Their leader, Haru of Whirlingpool witnesses the evil and scum that is the Black Dogs and vows to slaughter every single one in the name of God!

Mist Empire’s Rise: Fake Noble to Fog Queen

[Fake Aristocrat + Empress Regnant + Identity Concealment + Charisma + Nation-building + Personal Growth] Luo Wei has transmigrated. She finds herself in the body of a lowborn commoner who had impersonated a noble lady to enter school. She's about to be exposed as a commoner, facing contempt and insults from the entire school, and ultimately destined to be hanged at the marketplace gallows. Luo Wei: What's there to fear? It's just pretending to be nobility. As someone from the 21st century, she can act more noble than the nobles themselves! When a noble lady tries to test her with expensive spices, Luo Wei takes one look: Aren't these just common seasonings found everywhere in Western cuisine? As if she's never tasted them before! They say she's a commoner who can't do geometry? Luo Wei smiles slightly: Isn't it just trigonometric functions? She learned that in middle school! What? They say she's poor and has no money?

The Villain Reborn as Game's Final Boss

In his previous world, X was a feared and brilliant criminal. He led a massive criminal organization, possessed sharp strategic intelligence, and had enough power to challenge entire nations. Though ruthless, he lived by his own principles and morals. One day, after completing a fantasy war game in his free time he transmigrates into that very world. But not as the hero. He awakens in the body of Kael Frost, the game's final villain. In the original game, Kael was a noble born into the Frost Dukedom, which was the strongest after the royal family. He had no interest in training or holding his families legacy despite being the heir to the House Frost. He was a prime example of a spoiled noble brat. Seeing his constant failures and pathetic state, his family especially his father Castor Frost started to neglect him entirely. Discussions were held to appoint Kael's younger brother Kevin as the heir to the Dukedom. Enraged by his family's actions Kael began to behave in more pathetic ways as some sort of revenge. His relations with everyone started to deteriorate further and a public conflict during a grand banquet marked his complete breakdown from his household. Soon after, Kael disappeared from the society. A year later, driven by hatred and despair, he performed a forbidden ritual that granted him immense power in exchange for his emotions and sanity. The ritual succeeded, but turned him into a psychopathic mass murderer. Though powerful enough to nearly defeat the protagonist in the final arc, he ultimately lost due to his madness and the hero's many allies. That was how the game ended. This time, the transmigration happens after the ritual is completed. X inherits Kael's fully awakened powers while retaining his sanity, intelligence, and fragments of emotion from his previous life. With strength untouched by madness, he becomes far more dangerous than Kael ever was. 2 years later as admissions begin for the prestigious Namda Academy, the villain re-enters the world stage. Nobles are accepted automatically, while commoners must pass exams that test intellect, psychology, and potential. With knowledge of the game's future and the mind of a genius strategist, the final boss steps onto a new path. *** Discord Name- TheDevil_Supreme Discord Server Link- https://discord.gg/rMPpN8HEaw (New updated Link)

The Retired Young Mercenary Is Secretly a Billionaire

They call him Ghost. A name spoken in fear through warzones, underground syndicates, and the darkest corners of the black market. To the world, he is a phantom. A faceless mercenary who leaves behind nothing except bloodshed and silence. To his enemies, he is death itself. To the operatives of Graveyard, he is one of their own. Family forged through war. But to himself… he is only a broken man chasing fragments of a past stolen by bullets, fire, and smoke. After completing another flawless mission deep within the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base that has been his home for seventeen years. Yet the calm lasts only moments before his foster father and commander gives him an order he never expected. “That was your final mission.” Now Ghost, whose real name is Miles Sterling, must leave behind the battlefield and step into a normal world he barely understands. Armed with nothing except an old letter, fading childhood memories, and the voice of a mother he has not seen since the day his life was torn apart. But war did not only shape his body and soul. Behind the mask, beneath the scars, Miles hides another truth. A secret buried from even the men who fought beside him. He is not merely a weapon created by war. He is a ghost who built a fortune in silence. A hidden empire stretching across borders, corporations, black markets, and shadows. A man known by many names. A man followed by countless secrets. Beneath the violence, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is finally ready to uncover it… one memory, one enemy, and one letter at a time.

BOUND BY WORLDS

Akira and Hayato had been inseparable since childhood—two idiots who laughed at the same jokes, shared the same snacks, and gamed until their eyes burned. But lately… things had changed. Ever since Hayato started dating Ayase, his time had been split like a thin sheet of paper. Akira wasn’t jealous—at least that’s what he told himself—but the silence in his room felt heavier than it used to. Then the news hit.A serial killer roaming their neighborhood.Curfews suggested. Phones buzzing with warnings But that night, Akira sat alone, controller in hand, anime running softly in the background. He wasn’t really paying attention; he was just killing time. Then he spotted movement from his window—Hayato heading home with that tired walk he always had after long dates. Akira couldn’t help but smile. Finally, a chance to talk.He rushed downstairs and caught up to him. “Dude, you should NOT be outside right now,” Hayato scolded, eyes wide. “Go home. Seriously.” But Akira shook his head with that stubborn grin. “It’s been two weeks. I’m walking with you. Halfway. You can’t stop me.” Hayato sighed in defeat, but his eyes softened. “Fine… but only halfway.” And for a while, it felt like old times. They joked. They teased. They filled the empty space that had grown between them.For those few blocks, everything was right again.But when they reached the point where they normally split paths, the night shifted. The street was too quiet. The air too heavy. The shadows too thick. “Alright… I guess this is—” Hayato began. A sound cut him off. Fast. Sharp. Wrong. Akira barely had time to turn.A glint of steel.A blur of movement.Pain that stole his breath.He collapsed first.Hayato screamed his name—but the serial killer was already on him too. Two best friends. Two final breaths. Two lights fading out in the cold dark.Yet death wasn’t the end. When Akira’s consciousness returned, he woke to unfamiliar skies… unfamiliar air… and an unfamiliar body. Long hair. A smaller frame.A girl’s voice escaping his lips. Meanwhile, Hayato awoke not too far away, still himself—but in a world filled with magic, beasts, and kingdoms straight out of the games they used to play together.Two best friends. Reborn.
