In the Hands of the Alpha

Once a land of despair, the kingdom of Pompeii was granted divine salvation—only to squander it in greed. Blessed with abundance, its people fell into corruption, and the gods, in their wrath, cast a terrible curse. From that day forth, war became Pompeii’s lifeblood, and every child was born with sacred markings, fated to become a weapon of destruction. Now, hidden from the world yet thriving in secrecy, Pompeii has drawn the attention of foreign powers. The kingdom of Rir, seeking its long-lost secrets, sends Alan—an elite spy—to infiltrate its war-torn streets. But what begins as reconnaissance soon turns into something far more dangerous. The city is not just cursed by the gods—it is bound by forces beyond mortal understanding, its fate woven into bloodshed and divine retribution. What lies within the towering Relic Castle? What horrors await those who defy the will of the gods? In a land where power is both a gift and a sentence, Alan must uncover the truth behind Pompeii’s past—before its curse consumes him.

“Heroes killed my parents. Now I wear the mask of one. Until I can bury them all.” At seven years old, Hernan Vale watched his parents — two powerful heroes — brutally executed in their own home by the very people they trusted most: the legendary super-team known as the Zodiac 13. They thought he was dead. They made sure the world blamed villains. They covered their tracks. But Hernan survived — and never forgot. Ten years later, under a false name, Hernan enters the prestigious Hero Academy, hailed as a prodigy. To the world, he’s a rising star. To his classmates, he’s charming, calm, unstoppable. But inside? He’s a weapon. Waiting. Smiling. Counting names. As he trains to become a licensed hero, fights real villains, and rises through the ranks, Hernan plays the long game — earning the trust of the Zodiac, learning their routines, studying their weaknesses. One by one, he’ll bring them down. And this time, he won’t hide in the closet. But the deeper he goes, the more blood he spills — the more he wonders if he’s becoming worse than the monsters he’s hunting. And when love, loyalty, and lies collide, Hernan may have to decide: Will he save the world like they think he will... or finish burning it down?

When low-level healer Elias Vale stumbles upon a cursed cocoon in a forgotten ruin, the last thing he expects is to hatch the reborn soul of the Demon Queen Revantra—in the form of a scared little girl. To save her from divine execution, she binds herself to him through an ancient soul pact, fusing their fates. Now, Elias is stuck raising the former destroyer of worlds—who can barely tie her shoes, but occasionally melts furniture when she pouts. What starts as reluctant guardianship soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Rhea (her new alias) grows stronger, older, and far too attached, Elias must keep her identity hidden from zealous church inquisitors, ambitious heroes, and the remnants of her own loyal followers—some of whom want her dead... again. But the longer he protects her, the deeper the bond grows—and the harder it becomes to tell who’s really taming who. Because the world once burned beneath her wings… …and this time, she’s not letting him go.

"I just wanted to check Ayato's crit stats. That's all. I didn't sign up for world-hopping, slime dodging, or accidentally becoming besties with a blonde girl and her floating emergency food." Allen was your average Genshin-obsessed gamer-with a suspiciously large Nilou folder and a slightly unhealthy obsession with Ayato's artifacts. But when a truck decides to yeet him into another dimension -right as he was mid-build adjustment, mind you-, Allen finds himself in the world of Teyvat... only this time, it's real. No Vision. No Mora. No clue what he's doing. Armed with nothing but sarcasm, his locked phone full of Genshin memes, and a sword he definitely doesn't know how to use, Allen stumbles into an adventure alongside Lumine and Paimon, dodging danger, stirring chaos, and somehow managing to look cool doing it (on accident, of course). Because if fate's going to throw him into this mess? Well. He's going to make it weird.

The Takeover Was Personal They were raised as royalty. Crowned by legacy. Trained to win. Trisha Singhania-Trixie to the few who dare-is the sharp-suited, no-nonsense CEO of The Singhania Royale, Rajasthan's most elite 5-star bar, hotel, and restaurant. Known for her calm dominance and piercing charm, she built an empire with her mind-and guarded her heart with steel. Reeva Khanna-Reeves to those who know the softness behind the sarcasm-is the graceful yet cunning CEO of The Khanna Court, a royal 5-star haven of luxury and legacy. With elegance as her weapon and wit as her armor, she's as alluring as she is unreadable. They've known of each other for years-but never met. Until now. At CROWNED: The New Age Icons Awards in Jaipur, their worlds collide. Flirtation sparks. Tension simmers. And when Trisha wins the title, it's not just the trophy that leaves Reeva breathless-it's a look. A silent invitation neither of them is ready to name. A spontaneous business meeting turns into a proposal: Toast of Royals, a new luxury restaurant meant to unite the two empires. What starts as a calculated partnership quickly blurs into late-night talks, casual touches, and a mutual agreement for no-strings sex. But when bodies begin to crave more than just heat, and hearts start asking questions they never intended to answer, it all spirals. Trisha pulls away. Reeva breaks. And just when it seems like desire was all it ever was, fate intervenes. This time, it's not business. It's not rivalry. It's personal. A royal, Sapphic slow-burn featuring rivals turned partners, casual turned complicated, and love that wasn't part of the pitch-but took over anyway.

In a fractured cosmos of infinite realms and forgotten legacies, Zhao Lianxu—a prince betrayed, slain, and erased from history—is reborn into the most unlikely of places: a fading outer realm dynasty with no knowledge of his true origin. What begins as a second chance soon unravels into a destiny greater than gods and darker than the void between worlds. Lianxu discovers he is not merely a prince, but the bearer of three mighty bloodlines—one of celestial authority, one of demonic chaos, and one inherited from an ancient cultivator who once sealed away the monstrous Tianmo World. Within him awakens the Multiuniverse Destructive Body, a forbidden vessel of cosmic power once prophesied to shake the foundations of creation. To claim his fate, he must walk the harrowing path of Dual Cultivation—mastering both martial and spiritual forces—while uncovering buried truths, ancient sect rivalries, and the tragic love story that once doomed him. The woman who ended his life may yet rule all creation… in his name. As empires fall and realms collide, Zhao Lianxu must ascend through elemental trials, enter forbidden lands of pure darkness and chaos, and awaken a new order that spans not just one world—but all worlds. But in a multiverse ruled by gods, demons, and ambition, can a reborn soul truly become the emperor of everything?
