afterlife angels crime dark death demons fantasy hell mythology oneshot romance slowburn summoning underworld witwcontest

Oops! I accidentally summoned a demon! When a crazy man threatens her family if she doesn't kill the man holding them all hostage, Eve comes up with her own plan to keep her family safe.  What she doesn't expect is that her sacrifice is only the beginning.

Note: This began as a #WITWContest challenge, but became a mild obsession as I fell in love with it.  It's still a one-shot but is now a not-so-short short-story with all the answers to the questions you had when reading that first chapter.  How did she get there?  Where did he take her?  And so much more!

TW: violence, mentions of trafficking, food/housings insecurity, and domestic neglect

All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel the MC and demons are all pansexual, all demons/angels are intersex (closest definition possible since they're not human), and much of the supporting cast is also LGBTQ+.

Beast World Handsome Husband Hoarder by HunterKxezshieOffcl

×Mature× > She died a jobless anime binge-watcher. She woke up a chubby, unwanted beast bride. Odette didn't ask for a second life-especially not in the body of a despised gray swan with five drop-dead-gorgeous beastmen husbands who can't even look her in the eye. Forgotten by her tribe, accused of crimes she didn't commit, and left to drown by the very men who vowed to protect her... it should've ended there. But fate-no, a shady cosmic system-had other plans. Armed with a cheat-like storage space, a secondhand body, and five cold marks on her hand proving none of her husbands ever claimed her, Odette decides it's time to rewrite this beastly romance into her own personal revenge story. Who needs loyalty when she can hoard hotter husbands? Who needs love when she can live deliciously petty? Let the ex-husbands regret. Let the new suitors line up. And let the Swan Queen rise-feathers, fat rolls, and all.

Full-Level Boss: Rising to Stardom with Metaphysics by LingYuexin

[Multiple identities • Metaphysics • Strong female lead • Sweet yet chaotic romance] Fu Ningyuan, once the unrivaled leader of the Xuanmen sect, wakes up to find herself transmigrated, straight into the body of a "vicious supporting actress" from a tacky CEO romance novel. Her debut scene? A classic cliché. "One million. Leave my son." The CEO's mother sneered, tossing a check at her. Fu Ningyuan took one look at the noblewoman's dimming lifespan, accepted the money with poise, and calmly placed a talisman on the table. "The price of saving your life," she said lightly. "I'll take it." --- ...And thus began her infamous career as the "shameless freeloader" of the entertainment industry. Everyone despised her, until a single episode of a live variety show changed everything. The moment someone tried to humiliate her on camera, strange misfortunes began to strike. Cars broke down. Deals fell apart. Stars fell from grace. Then came the storm of public confessions: "Whoever bullies her is an enemy of the Qin family." - Patriarch Qin "Miss Fu's kindness is heavier than a mountain-she's like a second parent to me." - Head of the Zhou family "Without her, I would've been long dead." - Renowned fortune teller And just when the world began to wonder about her true identity- The man from the powerful Pei family finally stood up and said, in a dangerously low voice, "She's mine." Fu Ningyuan: "..." She never expected that the ruined life she was thrown into would one day dazzle the entire world.
