The Last Step

- Disclaimer: Chapters are long and detailed. Slower pacing and character driven narrative. The Last Step is an epic fantasy spanning years of chapters, where history, ideology, science, and humanity collide in a world ruled by magic. Once, humanity stood at the bottom of existence. Magicless. Powerless. A race hunted to the brink of extinction. To the world, humans were little more than intelligent animals, fit to be enslaved, toyed with, or discarded. Their survival was never expected. Yet somewhere in forgotten history... someone changed that fate. Now, 7,000 years later, humanity stands beside the very races that once ruled over them, wielding magic that should have never been theirs. Few remember how that miracle came to be. Kaiser Everhart is one of them. Not as a chosen hero. Not with divine blessings. Not with overwhelming strength. Only with a mind that refuses to end his story. Born into a life that could only be described as hell, Kaiser Everhart grew up believing humanity was selfish, cruel, and undeserving of faith. All he ever wanted was a quiet life. A place where he could finally understand what happiness felt like. Instead, the world refused to leave him alone. Drawn into a continent where primordial beasts roam forgotten lands, where dragonics shape empires, elves preserve ancient civilizations, demons struggle against a curse of their own existence, beastkin, dwarves, and fairies each reign over fields humanity could never hope to rival, Kaiser finds himself standing among races that have mastered magic, divinity, and power over thousands of years. Yet the deeper his journey goes, the more one question begins to consume everything: Can humanity be saved... if humanity itself is its greatest enemy? This is not a story about becoming the strongest. It is a story about changing the world one impossible step at a time. Long before Kaiser Everhart was born, another man walked a remarkably similar path. One who devoted everything to humanity... Only to lose faith in it. As the past slowly awakens, two ideals begin moving toward an inevitable collision: The man who abandoned hope in humanity. And the man still searching for a reason to believe. Somewhere between them stands Kaiser Everhart, unaware that every step he takes is leading him toward the one person who understands him better than anyone else ever could. A slow-burning saga of politics, philosophy, science, war, romance, psychological manipulation, civilization-building, and the fragile hope that even the weakest race can create its own future. The road is long. The answers are earned. And every step matters. Discord: https://discord.gg/3tRarQqWJj

Difficulty- SSS+ Tries left- 1 So yeah, it all started with a divine screw up. One god gave the wrong blessing, and now, well, he’s been reincarnated with cheat stats that would make even the Demon King uninstall life. Strength [Divine], Agility [Divine], Mana [Divine], Endurance [Divine]. Basically, if power scaling were a thing, he’s the reason it broke. Armed with god-tier skills, legendary charm, and enough swagger to cause mass moral crisis, he sets out to save the world. There’s just one teeny, tiny problem, though. Someone in heaven added a bugged skill: [Endless Ardor]. Now, every time he walks into a room, hearts race, heroes blush, and villains suddenly want to “negotiate.” Dimension breaking fights, apocalyptic disasters, monster armies, cursed kingdoms. Amidst all the chaos, he somehow unlocks the Commander of one of the Great Orders status. A legion of elite knights, legendary equipment, all following his command. It was supposed to be the cliché “hero defeats demon lord” genre. Instead, it’s the Overpowered Edition of the messy, sexy, bloody “hero defeats demon lord” gone wrong!!

After living a miserable life, he dies and is reincarnated into a fantasy world with abilities so powerful they border on the impossible. Unfortunately for him just as he can have them, so can others. So, when strength meets strength only shameless and scheming can prevail! Most people would use such power to become heroes...but Dante asks, "What does that kingdoms survival have to do with me?" Deciding to build his new life. He chases comfort. Freedom. Loyal followers. Absolute strength. Naturally, what would power mean for him without a beautiful woman to...solve his other unconventional problems. In a world filled with ancient races, mythical monsters, powerful empires, and beings capable of destroying nations, Dante begins gathering subordinates and turning them into forces of nature.

Undressed By The Mafia God

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her. Veronica Scalese walks into New York’s elite club, ‘Commissioned’ by accident—and mouths off to the wrong man; Luciano Genovese popularly known as ‘The Devil’.

Morally fucked

We've all read those mafia romances. The one where the godly handsome, picture-perfect, extremely ruthless mafia king rejects all the gorgeous, sexy ladies ( even though he's slept with half of them ) for the beautiful, innocent, untouched, holier-than-thou common woman who only marries him to pay off her sick grandma's medical bills and then slowly ends up falling for him. This is not one of those stories. Excerpt: Lynx stepped a little closer to his target, his intentions far from subtle. "Having a good night?" he asked, pretending to watch the couples swaying across the ballroom floor. "Why wouldn't I be?" Shayna replied without looking at him. "Merely observing," Lynx chuckled. "Are you missing someone?" he continued, staring ahead. "Are there no other beautiful women for you to entertain?" Shayna whispered, slightly annoyed. "There are," he admitted, his chest rising slightly. "But there is only one I can't seem to look away from." A faint blush crept across Shayna's cheeks before she turned her head. "And what exactly do you want from this lucky woman?" A smile tugged at his lips. "A dance, perhaps. And a smoke afterwards." .......................................................................... Shayna Hazel Alonso doesn't qualify as a lady by any known definition of the word. She smokes too much, curses like a sailor, and hates male chivalry from the depths of her heart. But she has a secret. Shayna lives a double life as a corporate employee who just wants to get through the day and Vixen, the underworld's infamous prodigy, who unfortunately attracts the most questionable kinds of people. After years of betrayal—first by the father who sold her into prostitution, and then by the people she once believed were just like her—Shayna has finally learned not to trust anyone. And for the last time, she does not want to deal with any more shit. Naturally, life has other plans. So what happens when she ends up stealing from the one person nobody in their right mind would ever cross? In the underworld, everyone has a line they swear they'll never cross. Until they do. And that's when people become, for lack of a better phrase... Morally Fucked. P.S. The FMC of the story is strictly child-free and will remain so throughout the story. I will publish 1 bonus chapter per 200 collections and 2 bonus chapters per 20 golden tickets.

[BL] Transmigrated as the Villain Brother: Stealing the Male Leads!

WARNING : Story Contains Mature and HEAVY DYNAMIC CONTENS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK! A LOT OF SPICY SCENES! SLOW BURN! Tags: SMUT | R18+ | YAOI | BL | MATURE | DARK | REVERSE HAREM | PSYCHOLOGICAL | DRAMA | Choi Yeonho thought the worst thing that could happen was dying because of a ridiculous novel. He was wrong. After a sudden accident, he awakens inside that very novel—as Choi Yeonho, the villain destined to die. A character hated by everyone, destined to lose everything, and ultimately killed at the end of the story. What a joke.Fortunately, this Yeonho has something the original never had: Knowledge of the story. So why follow the script? Yeonho returns to Korea with one goal: Destroy the plot before it can destroy him. If an event is supposed to happen, he'll change it. If someone is supposed to hate him, he'll turn the situation around. And if the five male leads are supposed to belong to someone else... Why should Yeonho care? With his sharp mind, shameless personality, beautiful face, and body he knows exactly how to use to his advantage, Yeonho begins tearing through the original storyline one event at a time. The five men who were destined to stand beside the heroine begin turning their attention toward Yeonho instead. And before Yeonho realizes it, the men he intended to manipulate are beginning to make their own choices. The original plot starts collapsing. Yet Yeonho isn't interested in simply stealing and seducing the male leads. He wants something much bigger. He wants to completely break free from the life that was written for him. But the closer he gets to doing so, the more strange things begin to surface. Fragments of memories he shouldn't have. Hidden connections buried beneath his family's history. And truths about his own existence that were never written in the novel.
