Alora: My Human Hybrid Luna

“He is here again”, I murmured to myself as I could feel the air shift in the room. I pulled my nightgown down to cover myself as cold and warmth enveloped me in a soothing embrace. It felt like a warm blanket had been wrapped around me. He smelled faintly of dark vanilla and something musky, something warm. I could feel his breath on my skin before the bed dipped. He pulled me closer and wrapped his hands around me. I closed my eyes and waited for his soothing murmurs in my ears. “Did you miss me”? He moaned into my ears. Alora Lance has been haunted by a faceless man who visits her dreams for as long as she can remember. His touch is electric, and his presence is peaceful and intoxicating but her waking life is anything but magical.

One accidental step into a world that should not exist. And everything changes. Dragged into a world that doesn't make sense in real life, Alora finds herself pulled into a past she knows nothing about and the enigmatic gaze of the man that had haunted her dreams except this is not a dream, it's a nightmare she may never escape, especially when the Alpha of the Bloodfang Pack marks her with a single look.

ISEKAI? More like I See Crap!

Hazekaya Hazuki was just an ordinary guy… until he woke up in another world. Sounds exciting, right? WRONG! Before he could even process his isekai moment, he found himself being chased by a horde of horny male orcs. From dodging unwanted "affections", to getting thrown in jail, to accidentally sleeping in horse crap and earning just enough to not starve. Between dealing with an ex-adventurer boss, getting tricked by his so-called "friends," and realizing even slimes are harder to kill than he thought, his life in this new world is anything but the overpowered adventure he dreamed of. Instead of becoming a hero, he’s stuck as a low-wage wall repairman, constantly broke, and now the locals call him "Shitman." With zero cheat skills, no legendary weapons, and a severe lack of dignity, Hazuki is left wondering—"Why is my isekai life like this!?"

Road of an Emperor: From Hope to Conquest

( story is slow with huge build ups , so don’t expect some fast pase rise to power but full with action and cliffhangers ,starting 12 chapters are small) “He who dreams of reaching for the stars must first conquer the earth beneath his feet.” In a world where power rules all and the weak are mere stepping stones, one boy dares to dream beyond the limits of fate. Born into a declining noble house in the distant countryside, Nerion Ophirein has known only hardship — battling hardships, expectations, and the crushing weight of destiny. Yet in his heart burns an unyielding fire: a hope that refuses to be extinguished. In a land of monsters, ancient dungeons, and towering citadels of magic, strength alone determines survival. Soul Cards and System class— manifestations of one’s potential — hold the keys to domination. Those with talent ascend as Lords, Dukes, and Kings. Those without are forgotten. Today, Nerion stands at a crossroads. With his school years ending and his soul awakening imminent, he faces a single truth: succeed and carve a path to greatness… or be cast aside as another forgotten name. In a game where the rules favor only the strong, Nerion will forge his own — through will, through power, through ambition. Some will rise through might. Others through cunning. But he? He will claim it all — body, soul, and crown. Will he become a beacon of hope for a broken world… Or a conqueror who leaves only ashes in his wake? From hope… to conquest — this is the beginning of an emperor’s road.

Ascendant Eclipsed

I don't know where in the world you are, but in mine… things got a little out of control. There are clans that control fire, water, earth, air, and even lightning itself. They say we live in peace. They say. But when ancient secrets start crawling out from under the stones, even the brightest peace casts a shadow. The balance of the world… well, let’s just say it’s starting to wobble. And no, I’m not a wise old sage or some legendary chosen one (though the title wouldn’t be too bad, right?). I’m just someone who happened to be there when everything started to fall apart. Or rather, when everything started to show its true face. And yeah, this story hurts. But before we get to that… let me take you back to how it all began. With jokes, friends, training… and a destiny no one asked for, but someone’s got to carry. You in?

To Protect What Is Mine

Aren Vale — the Silent Sword, the Sovereign of the Battlefield — stood at the peak of humanity as one of the two transcendent beings in the world, and the strongest among them. Duty once defined him. But when his soul fused with that of a wandering transmigrator, Aren found a new reason to live: not for glory, not for war, but for family. Retiring from a life of blood and sacrifice, Aren chose instead to become what the battlefield never allowed — a devoted husband, a loving father, and a doting grandfather. Yet peace is a fragile dream. Not even days into his hard-won retirement, a single act of humiliation against his beloved family forces Aren to step out of the shadows. Not for duty. Not for honor. But to protect what is his. And when the strongest human alive moves for the sake of love — not even gods shall dare stand in his way.
