    Dominant Female & Her Harem of Mates! The court is different, but the game is the same: Survive. Mora is a 6 foot 5 varsity volleyball player. But when a team bus crash ends her season, and her life, she doesn't wake up in a hospital. She wakes up in a jungle where the dragonflies are the size of pigeons and all animals are twice as big as anything on Earth. In this Beastworld, females are the ultimate prize. With a staggering ratio of 1 to every 50 males, women are fragile treasures hidden away in the great tribes. It is a matriarchal world where high-ranking beastmen work themselves to the bone just for a chance to be chosen by a female. But there is one rule that has never been broken: Females have no Stars. Enter Mora. Mora is a walking impossibility. She isn't delicate. She isn't fragile. From the nervous 2-star ocelot who finds her, to the elite 4-star warriors who have never seen a woman taller than their shoulders, Mora is about to turn the social order upside down. Armed with modern knowledge and an athlete's grit, she's building a new life. The Beastworld thinks she's a prize to be earned. Mora is about to show them she's the apex predator. Author Note: This is a storyline I have committed to so please bear with me. I planned so hard for this. I hope you guys like it. Any similarities with other beastworld stories are coincidences. I have read them, but this is purely from my own imagination. There will be: Polyamory, MxMxF, Mpreg, MxM, Light Kinks. Chapters will be marked with 🌶. Though they will be part of the plot. I am not a smut writer (though spicy smuts are fun to read). I'll try my best to be balanced.

The person looked like they were about to die on the spot yet with a burst of startling strength drove Ling ling's attacker away. Turning to thank her unexpected savior, Ling Ling watches the tall, powerful person falter. Before she can utter a word, they collapse unconscious into her arms, their injury staining her immaculate attire. The formidable heiress is suddenly left alone, holding a bleeding stranger....

With the knowledge she carries, should she interfere? Why was she brought here? What does Bast want from her? Is she even ready for what's to come? And most importantly... Would she grow a tail?

    "Say it. Tell me you love me." She said, kissing my neck softly. I don't... My heart hammered in my chest as she pressed herself against me, and the words escaped my lips before I knew what I was saying. "I-I love you..." She pulled back then and looked deeply into my eyes, as if the hollow words of my cold heart melted her soul. "I always knew... Or hoped you did. I love you too. I always have and I always will." Her words stabbed me, but in the same moment, her touch numbed the pain. This is wrong... Who am I? I was not Reed Wolfe. I was not Wesley Blackthorne either. I was nobody. Truly a ghost. So full of hate and regret. But in her arms, I could no longer feel the pain. A quiet moan escaped my lips as I gave in to her, clasping my hand tightly around her throat. "No more talking." I growled, then drew her close and kissed her feverishly. She sighed and wrapped her arms around my neck, as if she had been waiting for this moment her whole life. A pang of guilt stabbed at me, but I pushed it away. It could wait until morning. I was too desperate to care. I needed something, anything to fill the void. She will never forgive me for this... -------- In the criminal underworld of Tide Gate, loyalty is a deadly game. Reed Wolfe is given one last task before he can inherit his father's empire, the Crimson Syndicate. He must impersonate the missing Blackthorne heir and steal his fortune. Nyx, Reed's childhood friend, is the only trustworthy person left to help him complete his task. But as Reed's deception unravels, life-altering secrets and forbidden desire surface. Reed and Nyx must navigate a web of betrayal and ambition. In a world among thieves, where love is a liability and trust is a death sentence, how far will they go to survive the ruse....and each other?

    After resolving the paradoxical infestation that threatened The Woodlands, Duchess Roselia Nutriscu, the Fourth Outer God of Causality, and Professor Rania Eon Augthorth, the Third Outer God of Equilibrium, set their sights on a far greater challenge: Modernizing the entirety of Aegea. From industrial expansion and educational reform to diplomacy between nations, the two Outer Gods work together to guide civilization toward a future neither technology nor history could have achieved alone. Unfortunately, progress is never simple. Political friction continues to simmer beneath the surface. Students and young prodigies prove far more difficult to manage than entire governments. And looming over everything are the two most terrifying entities in existence, whose involvement somehow makes every situation significantly worse. For Roselia, however, the greatest challenge is not the continent. It is Rania. Long before either of them stood among the Outer Gods, Roselia was a master manipulator willing to use anyone necessary to achieve her goals. Rania was among those caught in her schemes. Now forced to work alongside the very person she once took advantage of, Roselia must confront both the consequences of her past and the habits she has yet to abandon. Because even now, the temptation remains. To take control. To manipulate events from behind the scenes. To force the most efficient outcome, regardless of the cost. As Aegea races toward a new era, Roselia must decide what kind of future she wishes to build. Will she finally move beyond the mistakes of her past? Or will she prove that some people never truly change?

    In a world where humanity controls only a quarter of the land, survival is not a right-it is a gamble. Beyond the kingdom's borders lie the Outer Lands, territories ruled by demons, dragons, and forgotten gods. Those who enter return rich... or not at all. Rexor de Strauss is the son of a fruit merchant-born a commoner, armed with nothing but a blade and a technique created to survive, not to conquer. Trained by a father who once walked the Outer Lands, Rexor learns early that strength is never free. But he is not alone. Among priests who abandoned the weak, nobles who rewrote history, and a kingdom that exterminated an entire family out of fear, hidden sins begin to surface. Ancient gods watch silently, bound by contracts they cannot break-waiting for humans desperate enough to meet their conditions. As demons stir, bloodlines awaken, and betrayal seeps into every alliance, one truth becomes clear: The world is not broken. It was built this way. And when the Outer Lands finally consume the last human borders, no god will come to save them.

    "Many years ago the Humans were banished for their use of Dark magic, splitting the continent in two. To the east lay the magical lands of Xadia and to the west rose the five Human Kingdoms. One thousand and two years after the Great Human banishment five adventurers where sent by the Dragon Queen Zubeia to stop the Archmage Aaravos, or the Fallen Star, from bringing upon a new world order. The adventurers included a Soldier, a Warrior, a Mage, a King and a Dragon. After Zubeia's death by the hands of the Fallen Star the adventurers keep the secret of Aaravos and waited for his return... but not everyone will be ready even after seven years. In the next coming battle to trap Aaravos neither the Mage or the Warrior will be attending, and an unexpected rival will make himself known. This new rival will call himself The Dragon King. On top of the return of Aaravos and personal issues this will not be easy. Can the adventurers finish what they started or will they all die trying to fix a broken world?" As you can tell this is fanfiction, yes different than what I usually do but I wanted to write this story. It is a continuation of the Netflix show 'The Dragon Prince(Mystery of Aaravos)'. (A few people are making fanfiction of The Dragon King so be sure to check those out.) You do not need any knowledge to enjoy this story but keep an open mind for the fantastical world building. I don't own any part of the original series; I'm just a humble fan. Enjoy and comment down below what you like and what you don't like.
