abandoned

My family sold me to a monster to settle their debts. The whole country knows the rumors. Nicholas Sterling is a hideous, reclusive beast who shuns the light, a man whose face was ruined in a fire and whose heart was twisted by cruelty. They say he buys beautiful things—especially women—just to break them. I was delivered to his cliffside manor with nothing but the clothes on my back and a heart full of dread, a sacrificial lamb to keep my sister alive. I expected a grotesque tyrant. I was not prepared for him. A man with the face of a fallen angel and the presence of a king. His eyes aren't cruel; they're haunted by a grief so deep it steals my breath. His touch isn't violent; it’s a question that terrifies me even more. He calls me his wife. He gives me the run of his castle. But he also watches me with an intensity that feels like possession. And the one rule he gives me is the most chilling of all: Never go into the west wing. But in a house built on lies, how can I resist? The truth is waiting behind that door. And it’s more beautiful, and more terrible, than any beast.

In the frozen shadows of Moscow’s underworld, power is inherited through blood — and love is a liability. Artyom Sokolov was born rare. A rare Omega in a world ruled by dominance, hierarchy, and ruthless tradition. In Russia’s elite mafia society, rare Omegas are not cherished — they are bargained, controlled, or hidden. To his father, Artyom is not a son but a complication. An inconvenience that threatens political alliances and legacy. When Sergei Sokolov remarries and begins quietly stripping Artyom of his inheritance, it becomes clear: blood does not guarantee loyalty. But one reckless night changes everything. Viktor Volkov — heir to the most powerful and wealthiest mafia empire in the world — is not an Alpha. He is an Emigen. A genetic anomaly above dominance. Rare. Untouchable. Impossible to control. The Volkov empire commands oil fields, private armies, and governments alike. Their name is spoken carefully — if at all. And Viktor, raised to rule with cold precision, has never allowed instinct to outweigh strategy. Until Artyom. What begins as a single night of shared vulnerability ignites something neither of them can ignore — a biological pull that shakes centuries of hierarchy. When Artyom’s father is attacked and rival factions move to ignite a mafia war, one truth becomes dangerously clear: The fastest way to break an Emigen… is to target the rare Omega he cannot walk away from. Dragged into the heart of the Volkov empire, Artyom must navigate political betrayal, power struggles, and the terrifying realization that he is no longer unwanted — he is valuable. Desired. Claimed. As enemies close in and loyalty fractures from within, Viktor is forced to choose between control and instinct. Between empire and bond. Because in a world where dominance defines worth, loving a rare Omega is both a weakness… and the beginning of a dynasty.

Ethan leaves a comment on a livestream and doesn’t think much of it afterward, because there are too many people watching and too much noise for anything he says to matter for long. Out of thousands of messages, she remembers his. Not what he said, but his name. Raina doesn’t believe in coincidences because, in her experience, people leave and people forget, and she learned early on that most things don’t stay unless you make them stay. When she recognizes Ethan again after years, she does not rely on chance. She creates the conditions for them to meet again. A job request is made. A meeting follows. Then another, arranged in a way that feels natural enough not to question. Everything appears normal on the surface, and that is exactly why Ethan doesn’t question it, even when something in him quietly tells him he should. He tells himself he is overthinking, that she is simply kind, and that the way she shows up exactly when he needs her is nothing more than timing. But the closer she gets, the harder it becomes for him to separate his daily life from her presence in it. Because Raina doesn’t chase. She keeps. And once you matter to her, distance is no longer something that remains an option.

Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Nanajūhachi Asuka, a soul from the 78th district of Rukongai, is cast into the world of Demon Slayer as a disposable experiment. Lacking a "system" or "cheat-codes," he relies solely on his raw Reiryoku (spiritual power) and the survival instincts of a street dog. Asuka is taken in by Tetsushin Arisaki, mastering Wind Breathing alongside his peer, Suzune. This peace is shattered when Lower Rank Two, Rokuro, massacres their home. Master Arisaki sacrifices himself, triggering the awakening of Asuka’s unique ability: Nugata—the power to devour demon essence and convert it into spiritual energy. Driven by cold vengeance, Asuka joins the Demon Slayer Corps. His presence at Mount Natagumo changes the tide, as his "serrated" strikes—infused with spiritual pressure—permanently stall demon regeneration. This "new variable" catches the attention of Muzan Kibutsuji, who begins purging the Lower Ranks to prepare for this emerging threat. Through training at the Butterfly Estate and sparring with the Mist Hashira, Muichiro Tokito, Asuka realizes a vital truth: traditional Wind Breathing is a "shoe that doesn't fit" his spiritual nature. He begins the journey to transcend established styles, seeking to forge an Original Breath that bridges the gap between a Soul Society ghost and a mortal swordsman.

Looking for a way to avoid his family treating him like livestock to milk off of his ability, he landed a job throught a mysterious sponsor. He swore to himself that he would make a lot of money and leave the tower, see the outside world and live a single life forever! "You need to keep in mind that while you serve his majesty, you aren't allowed to peek under his mask at night. Nor can you see him during the day, understood?"  “Then, what exactly is my job?” “You need to make sure his highness never leaves the room at night.” “W-What?” “The young master isn't to be left out of his room at night. No matter what. Do you understand?” Sigh. If only it was that simple for a mere human to keep an ancient god with a bad attitude grounded in his room.  — *This is a (very gay) tower-world retelling of the Greek myth "Cupid and Psyche". In no way does it pretend to be taken as a faithful source of culture or religion, nor does it intend to disparage them. It was simply inspired by the myth. *This isn't a fanfic. *The cover art does not belong to me and will be removed upon request. *Enjoy \(*u*)/

The Day the Veil Shattered, Humanity Learned They Were Just Livestock. ​But Inside Kael Redgrave, the Livestock Brought Its Own Slaughterhouse. ​The "Great Reveal" changed everything. Gods, Demons, and Cosmic Entities weren't myths—they were apex predators, and humanity was nothing but currency, collateral, and food. ​Nineteen-year-old Kael Redgrave should have been just another statistic. Instead, his body became a celestial cage. Locked within his highly volatile genetic code are five primordial, world-ending souls constantly clawing for control: ​The Dark Smiler: A sadistic, riddle-speaking entity of pure malice. ​The Demon Lord: A hyper-violent avatar of unadulterated slaughter. ​The Devil King: A scheming, calculating master of political intrigue. ​The Divine: A hypocritical, blindingly radiant being of absolute judgment. ​The Void: A silent, existential terror that hungers to erase existence itself. ​As whispers of the "Vessel of Five" echo across the cosmos, Kael becomes the ultimate target. Gods want him shackled. Monsters want him dead. Humanity wants him erased before the world-enders fully awaken. ​But as Kael fights to survive the targeting arrays of the universe, a darker truth begins to surface. He wasn't chosen by these primordial horrors. He was engineered for them. ​And somewhere beyond the fabric of reality, a forgotten creator is waiting for Kael to remember why. https://www.instagram.com/soulshifted.official?igsh=MW80aTA1eThudHhzZQ==
