I Love You and I Fear You

In this world, people are not killed by monsters… but by what they fear. After his sudden death in his previous world, **Kaito Soren** awakens in a world where fear turns into living creatures that destroy everything. Here, there are not just mythical monsters… but real human nightmares. Every buried fear births a monster. A simple phobia can burn an entire city. A broken heart can summon creatures that feed on despair, darkness, and memory. Recruited by the enigmatic "Lilith Domina" — the mysterious hot woman with absolute authority and a chilling presence — Kaito becomes the organization's deadliest weapon against the nightmares devouring the world. But soon, Kaito discovers that there is a **hidden hand** controlling everything from the shadows: "The Instigator" — an unseen entity who plants fear in human hearts then leaves them to transform into monsters, all for the sake of enjoying the chaos. "The Clown" — a terrifying jester who turns death into a bloody theatrical game, and knows Kaito’s secrets more than he should. "The Grand President" — the highest figure in the organization, who seems to know everything… and hides far more than they reveal. With every monster Kaito cuts down, fragments of his lost memories begin to surface. He gradually realizes that his power is not a blessing… but a cosmic curse. And that this world — and Lilith herself — might not be as foreign to him as he thinks. In the end, Kaito realizes that the greatest enemy he faces is not the monsters born from others’ fears… But the fear he cannot separate from himself: "The fear of attachment. The fear of belonging. The fear of trusting anyone… even himself." "Fear is the only enemy I cannot defeat… Because it might be me."

Rejected While Pregnant, I Rose As The Last Dragon Alpha

I am Lucy Drakonia. Daughter of Alpha King Karon of Virelan. Born of ancient royal blood. Raised to inherit a throne of fire. Trained to command the Western host of the Dominion of Lykara. At least, that was the plan. Then I turned sixteen. And no wolf came. No gifts. A taboo for one born of royal blood. Overnight, I became an embarrassment. A curse. A defect whispered about in corridors and mocked behind my back. My pack tolerated me only as long as my bloodline remained useful. Still, I thought I would be fine. I had Doyle after all. My chosen mate. My first love. Gods, scratch that. I had a cheating bastard, who betrayed me in the meanest way possible. Worse, my unborn child was taken from me the same day. And before the blood on the floor had even dried, my own father cast me out. So really, I'm just Lucy Drakonia, the wolfless princess. The discarded heir. The girl the wolves rejected. Having no choice, I disappear into the human world and spend months building a quiet life far away from pack cruelty. However, the peace doesn’t last. On my nineteenth birthday, something strange awakens within me. Stranger creatures begin hunting me. The Supreme Alpha's cursed son walks into my life. And a mark sleeping beneath my skin reveals a truth no priest or king ever saw coming. Apparently, destiny doesn't belong to wolves alone. Now packs, kingdoms, and ancient forces are all coming for me—including the very people who once threw me away. Which is ironic, really. Because whatever stole my wolf all those years ago… was never meant to kneel. And neither was I. Not when I am the key to a power older than the Dominion of Lykara itself.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Zenith of Desire: The Hollywood Incubus

Mature Content... 1996, the world was still analog, disconnected, and blissfully unaware of the digital storm on the horizon. For Marvin Meyers, soon to be eleven-year-old prodigy with the souls of an ancient, -hungry Incubus, and a modern man it is the ultimate hunting ground. ​Armed with the memories of a future where tech giants rule and entertainment is the new religion, Marvin doesn't just want to be a star—he wants to own the sky. From the "plagiarism" of legendary works to the strategic acquisition of the world's most undervalued IPs, Marvin begins a cold, calculated climb to the top. ​While his classmates at his elite L.A. school worry about grades, Marvin is busy recruiting a young Mark Zuckerberg, filing predatory tech patents, and building a multi-national empire that spans the US, Japan, South Korea, and China. In a world fueled by human desire, there is no greater predator than an Incubus who knows exactly what the future wants before it even exists. Marvin Meyers died a lazy brat, but he woke up as something much more dangerous. With the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis looming and the Dot-com bubble about to hiss, Marvin has a four-year window to become rich enough to get his hands on one of the big seven. Joy, anger, lust, sorrow, and happiness are all desires and emotions. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become nourishment for my spiritual practice. Okay, let's see what reliable ways there are in this world that can stir up a lot of people's emotions? Hmm, writer, that's good; umm, music, that's also good; wow, Hollywood movies, reaching the whole world, that's fantastic! Looks like I need to become a plagiarist... what's that word again? Right, a copyist. I'll start as a writer, and my ultimate goal is to become an international star. What? You mean acting skills? I'm a Incubus! --- Additional tags: Heavy harem, smut, possessive characters, smart mc, sudden strength gain, lust emotion and desire -based power system, no yuri, no netorare. A/N:- Story and smut are well balanced. You won't feel bored if you have come for either of the two or maybe both.

THE VILLAIN PRINCE REFUSES TO DIE

After dying in a modern world 'Intentional' accident 55 years ago, as a modern university student. Kagen woke up inside the body of Prince Cassian Valemont — the infamous villain prince of the Holy Empire of Edrath. From a dark fantasy novel his sister loved the most. In the original story, the prince becomes corrupted by forbidden shadow magic and is publicly executed by the empire’s war hero, Sir Lucien Arden. And Kagen remembers only one thing from his sister's summaries: “The prince dies horribly.” Determined to survive, he avoids cruelty, stops provoking nobles, and tries to stay away from forbidden magic. But there is only one problem. He has already transmigrated before. Again. And again. And again. Every timeline ends the same way: betrayal, political manipulation, forced royal marriages, pregnancy used as political control, and finally execution at the hands of Sir Lucien Arden...all the damn time. At first, Kagen tried everything to survive. He acted kind. He acted obedient. He ran away. He exposed corruption. He avoided forbidden magic. He even sacrificed himself for the kingdom. But nothing changed. Every path led back to death...with Sir Lucien's blade. So eventually, Kagen stops trying to become a good person nor a bad person, he stops trying at all if it means surviving as Cassian Valemont. At least until he finds his way back home and strangle his sister to death for switching his ritual patterns and led him into this world instead. But during all that idleness, will Lucien sit by and watch him from afar while he does nothing with his life or will he hunt him down and get closer to him in this turn too?
