The Devil's obsession with the Heiress

[Warning: Mature content | Dark romance] Aliana Vanderbilt is the witty, fierce heiress to a multi-billion-dollar empire. She always lived life on her own terms, until one fateful night changed everything. After a brutal accident involving a "lost child" that only she could see, Aliana woke to a terrifying new reality. By day, she is haunted by restless spirits. By night, she is consumed by vivid, steamy dreams of a mysterious man with icy blue eyes. Her search for a solution comes to an abrupt halt when she finally comes face-to-face with Gavriel Valentine. An enigmatic man sitting at the pinnacle of a rival business empire. He is dominating, dangerous, and everything Aliana should avoid. Yet, he alone possesses the power to end her misery. Whenever she is near him, the ghosts vanish. Driven by a desperate need for peace, Aliana bulldozes into Gavriel’s life with a scandalous demand. However, what she does not expect is his counter-offer… that she must marry him. What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” ....

And wide."

The Darkness System: Rise of the Broken Sovereign

I died once reaching for a woman whose face I can no longer remember. Reborn into the Vorn Dynasty—a brutal family that rules over thirteen worlds—I was supposed to be a genius. Instead, I was declared broken. My soul is fractured, my memories are gone, and my own siblings view me as nothing more than a lamb for the slaughter. But the cracks in my soul aren't empty. They're filled with something ancient. [SYSTEM INITIALIZATION...] [SOUL INTEGRITY: 47%] [THE DARKNESS CALLS] With the power to crush my enemies with gravity and fry their nerves with lightning, I will carve a path through the blood of my rivals. I will unearth the mystery of my past death, reclaim the woman haunting my dreams, and tear down the empires that dare to stand in my way. But power isn't the only thing I crave. In a universe where betrayal is the only constant, I find solace in the arms of those brave enough to love a monster. From the icy assassin sent to kill me, to the time-bending beauty who has watched me die seventeen times before—I will collect their hearts, their bodies, and their absolute devotion. This isn't a story about a hero. This is a story about a monster who chose to be one—and the people who love him anyway. The question isn't whether he'll find her.

Fray: Hero Killer - English

In a distant universe, a group of gods formed an alliance and created a world called Uranion. Within Uranion, the living beings they created were often in conflict. To maintain order, the gods agreed to establish two opposing factions: Dharma and Kurawa. The Dharma were an organization entrusted with protecting the peace of Uranion from all forms of evil. The Kurawa, on the other hand, were labeled as beings who brought calamity and were therefore destined to be eradicated. In Uranion stood a village named Wanasura. There lived a young man named Sancaka, who dreamed of becoming a member of the Dharma. He wished to save countless lives, inspired by a legendary battle he once witnessed—when a Dharma warrior named Bima fought fiercely against the Kurawa. As he entered his teenage years, Sancaka became a knight of Wanasura Village. He believed this would be his stepping stone toward becoming a Dharma. The following day, while serving as Wanasura’s knight, the village was suddenly attacked—by the Dharma themselves. Sancaka fought back, desperately trying to protect the villagers, but the assault was merciless and indiscriminate. The Dharma slaughtered civilians and burned homes to ashes. More horrifying still, Bima—the very Dharma who once saved Sancaka in the forest when he was a child—was among the attackers. The hero he once admired had become a destroyer. Sancaka’s mind descended into chaos as he realized the Dharma were not as righteous as he had believed. He watched in horror as his father was killed by Bima. Then his mother and younger sibling fell by the same hand. Consumed by fury and despair, Sancaka confronted Bima in battle—but he was slain. The next day, a Seraph arrived at the ruins of Wanasura. The celestial being had been sent by the Sky God to determine a chosen individual. Amid the corpses and ashes, the Seraph sensed a body still burning with hatred. Sancaka rose from death. He awakened with newfound power. The Seraph declared that Sancaka had been selected as one of the Chosen—individuals destined to carry out dangerous commands from the gods. Still consumed by vengeance, Sancaka accepted this fate and received a divine command card. On it was written his first order: Kill every Dharma. Sancaka accepted without hesitation. Along his journey, he will encounter others who are also Chosen—each bearing their own command cards—and form alliances among them. Yet not all Chosen share the same purpose. The commands written upon their cards may change… and they may one day be forced to turn against one another.

Heavenly Transmigration: The Fallen Martial Emperor Climbs the Tower

At the peak of the martial path, Mu Jin had already achieved everything. He united the Central Plains, stood above righteous and demonic sects alike, and reached a realm no mortal body could contain. Then, on the day he was meant to ascend… He vanished. When Mu Jin opened his eyes again, he was no longer the emperor who had shaken the martial world. He was Lian — a dying young man from a ruined Earth, trapped inside the first trial of a mysterious Tower that had driven humanity to the brink of extinction. The world outside had already changed. Three colossal Towers had descended. The Surge had swallowed continents whole. Monsters roamed beyond the barriers. And humanity survived only by sending the chosen into the Tower’s brutal floors, where power could be earned only through blood, sacrifice, and despair. But Mu Jin has a problem. He did not inherit Lian’s talent. He did not receive a blessed Heaven-rank ability. And the godlike power he once possessed is gone. All he has left is: the mind of a man who once stood at the peak, a broken body that was never meant for greatness, and the Demonic Arts — a path that grows stronger the closer one walks to ruin. Now, in a world of false heroes, collapsing barriers, and trials cruel enough to break entire realms, Mu Jin must climb the Tower once again. Not as the emperor who had conquered his world. But as a nameless challenger starting from the very bottom. And this time… If he fails, he will lose far more than just his life.

Blood Moon: The Lycan's Queen

Luna Harristone brought a blade to the Lycan King’s ball. For his heart. The pack’s wofless outcast. Rejected by her alpha’s mate. Ridiculed for 3years. She should have fled when King Draven claimed her as his bride before the entire pack. Instead, she walked into King Draven Iravnov’s welcome ball with silver hair, amber eyes, and a dagger strapped to her thigh. Because the Alpha of Alphas isn’t just the king who burns packs for sport. He’s the man from her nightmares. The one with red eyes who’s haunted her since she was five. The one she swears murdered her parents. King Draven Iravnov has been searching for 400 years. Not for a bride. For a ghost. Then Luna appears. And he smiles. “Finally.” He is not cruel. He is precise. “You have three breaths to become useful.” “I do not collect debts from strangers.” “You sold me false dawn. So I will give you real onesies until you understand the difference.” He doesn’t rage. He calculates. He doesn’t forgive. He educates. Men count sunrises until they break. Lords learn time is a currency only he spends. And Luna? He looks at her like he’s known her for centuries. Like he’s waited. “I wasn’t done with you,”he murmurs. “My sweet Adeline.” Problem is, Luna doesn’t know Adeline. She doesn’t remember him. She only knows the blade under her gown, the mate who rejected her, and the king who calls murder “administrative work.” Two girls fit the prophecy. Only one walks away. He chose last night. But he won’t say who. And Luna’s about to learn why her soul flinches when he says “Mine.” Will she remember why she loved him before she buries the blade? Or will she become another name in his ledger? *_**_**_* WARNING TRIGGER: MATURE CONTENT.
