    Blood on his hands. Soil under hers. A broken ring between them. Serenity Claveria used to sign death orders in diamonds, her wedding band flashing under chandelier light while she turned her husband's crumbling syndicate into an empire. Now that same ring lies split in two, buried beneath the Claveria garden she fled to where she spends her mornings with dirt under her nails instead of gunpowder, pretending the ghosts in her chest are just echo. At the gates, her past keeps knocking. Dario Valente arrives day after day with gifts that burn brighter than his apologies watches, cars, silk, all fed to the fire by Eli, the bodyguard who would rather die than let his former boss back into her orbit. Smoke curls into the sky like incense over a grave, and Dario watches the life he threw away turn his offerings to ash without blinking. In the treeline, another man waits. Salvatore Montenegro, once the bastard she insulted in this very garden, now a king in his own right, kneels in her soil like it's an altar. He plants the flowers she loves, reroutes wars away from her borders, and says nothing when her voice still shakes on her ex-husband's name. His devotion doesn't come with chains, only patience sharp enough to cut. The underworld thinks Serenity lost everything in that divorce. They don't see the moment her gaze shifts away from the man who broke her ring, and toward the one who's ready to guard the hand that wore it.

    The following is a non-profit fan-based story. My Hero Academia and Vigilante: My Hero Academia Illegals are all owned by Kōhei Horikoshi, Hideyuki Furuhashi, Betten Court, Shueisha, Studio Bones, and Toho Animation. Also, all other possibly mentionned video games/anime universe are all owned by their respective creators. Please support the official release. ✧ After Kamino, nothing is the same for Naoto Shirogane. He lost his arm to Reiji Kirisaki, but later woke to find it replaced: a mysterious figure had given him a Zonai arm, a strange gift that raises more questions than answers. At the same time, buried truths about his family come to light. The Shirogane bloodline, supposetively noble was in fact rotted to the core, secretly closely tied to All For One, serving him in the shadows. After All Might's victory, Naoto's father, Retsu, abusive, violent, rotted to the core, was exposed and forced into hiding. Once Naoto was thought dead, but Retsu's downfall revealed the truth, he is alive, and now marked. At the hospital, two revelations change everything: his mother, Aashiko, returns after years away, and with her, a sister he never knew, Tsukiko, 3 years old. Innocent, untouched by Retsu's violence, she still believes her father was good. To her, Naoto is just the brother who broke her family apart. Living with them briefly, Naoto finds a fragile home. Aashiko accepts him; Tsukiko only tolerates him. But as Aizawa said, with villains aware of who he is, he has to leave, for their safety, heading to Heights Alliance, U.A.'s new dormitory system, where a new chapter begins. Before he even arrives, something unexpected happens: reaching out to stop an accident, his left hand opens a portal. A new ability, separate from Quickslot, has awakened. Where did this power come from? Why now? And what other trials wait ahead, as Naoto struggles with the dark legacy of his bloodline and the uncertain future of his own strength? ✧ Cover by me

He cheers as the match concluded, the boy holding a replica of a pokeball in his hand. But a reminder from his mother quickly ended his excitement. With the recent warning of moving in his sleep, he moves his pokeball clock a safe distance away from him, at the insistence of his Mother. But only if he knew that slight change. Would Change The World As He Knew It. (This story is going to take some creative liberties, such as rewriting the main plot of the Kanto Arc).

    Tara Sareen was trained to take down dangerous men. She didn't expect to fall for one. When the Crime Investigation Agency assigns her to infiltrate the empire of Ishaan Raizada, the city's most feared and least understood mafia king, Tara steps into a world where every truth is twisted and every lie burns.

The deeper she goes, the more the fire between them grows - slow, forbidden and impossible to ignore. And when her cover shatters, Tara learns the truth behind his darkness and scars he hides.

    My debut Ln, in which the protagonist Satoshi Katsurou goes through a seemingly ordinary death. Expecting to be reincarnated in heaven, he ends up in an afterlife that is just as harsh as the real world. Waking up in the afterlife Katsurou finds himself in a world where Death actively performs compassion, a son racing to godhood, and a daughter who can perceive what seems to be infinite possibilities. The divine family carries the weight of the world they destroy and nurture simultaneously, a world that they could destroy should they be off by a mere milliseconds. This story isn't your typical power fantasy nor is it entirely polished, the first couple of chapters are a deterrent but the later chapters (90+) are what makes this story worth investing in!

    Fiona Avana has spent years mastering the art of architectural restoration, breathing new life into spaces long forgotten. The Carlton Hotel, an iconic but crumbling structure, offers her the chance to leave a lasting mark on the city's skyline-and her career. But what should be just another project becomes anything but, when Jae Hyun Kim, the enigmatic CEO of KYL Group-and the man she thought she had buried in the past-steps back into her life. For Jae Hyun, becoming the CEO was never his dream, but it's the path he must walk to uphold his family's legacy. When Fiona unexpectedly reenters his world, old emotions stir, ones he thought he had pushed aside in favor of duty. But there's more at stake than just business between them. The Carlton's transformation mirrors the tension between their shared history and the unspoken connection that still lingers in the air. Caught between the allure of the past and the demands of the future, Fiona finds herself questioning everything-her work, her relationships, and the feelings she thought were long buried. With Gabriel, her good friend, someone she looks up to, showing unexpected signs of something deeper, and Jae Hyun quietly pulling at the edges of her resolve, Fiona must decide: Is it possible to restore what's been broken without losing herself in the process? As the Carlton's renovation pushes forward, so too do the complexities of the heart, where passion, loyalty, and ambition collide in ways that could change everything. *** This story is a work of fiction.
