Disguised as an intern, Natachai expects to easily crush the doctor's spirit. Instead, he meets Dr. Archen: a man forged in trauma, radiating a fierce, defiant energy that rivals the fires of Hell itself. Natachai came to claim an untamed soul, but he's about to learn that temptation is a two-way street.

Nerez no longer remembers the name he had when he was just an ordinary human on Earth. It has been far too long since a literal date with destiny, or rather with the Goddess of Fate, condemned him to wander the sea of souls through a thousand different lives. All he wanted now was to escape the endless cycle of reincarnation and enjoy one peaceful last life. But just when freedom seemed within reach, he found himself in the midst of a divine battle royale for a newborn world. Can the nascent god of death find peace and tranquility in immortality? Or will his new domain, servants, and the ever-troublesome mortals make his life impossible? And even now, the looming shadow of the one who cursed him in the first place still lingers. But was it really a curse? Perhaps the Goddess of Fate had plans of her own...

"Devils don't drink carbonated junk, you know." *** Cold, dark, and drunk. A normal winter night at Kenzo's tavern, deep in the slum of Los Diablitos. Everything is fine until a drunk elf stabs a little devil with an icicle, and vanishes without trace among the falling snow. This is the story about Kenzo the bartender and Tokoyami Towa, an exiled gangster with a mission to regain her honor. Together they uncover the town's darkest secret, buried deep under the snow and blood from the last Gang War; and confront their troubled past. *** All Hololive references (characters, settings, famous scenes) belong to COVER Corp. This is just a homage (an affectionate parody, you may call it) for all holomems, starring my beloved devil (angel) Tokoyami Towa. Towa-sama, daisuki desu.

Si Airi Kanzaki ay isang ordinaryong babae na piniling mamuhay nang malayo sa magulong mundo ng kanilang pamilya. May sarili siyang trabaho, sariling tahanan, at tahimik na buhay na ayaw niyang guluhin ng kahit sino. Hanggang sa isang araw, bigla siyang ipinakilala sa isang lalaking hindi niya inaasahang magiging bahagi ng buhay niya. Jin Adamov. Isang lalaking galing sa makapangyarihang pamilya na konektado sa mundo ng Yakuza. Palabiro, kumpiyansa, at tila walang kinatatakutan. Ngunit sa likod ng kaniyang ngiti ay isang lalaking kayang maging lubhang mapanganib kapag kinakailangan. Hindi gusto ni Airi si Jin, at lalong ayaw niyang mapasangkot sa mundong ginagalawan nito. Pero habang patuloy silang magkakasama, unti-unting nadadamay si Airi sa mga problema ng kanilang mga pamilya. May mga taong nagmamasid sa kaniya, may mga lihim na hindi sinasabi sa kaniya, at may mga panganib na hindi niya alam kung paano haharapin. Sa kabilang banda, hindi rin niya lubos na maintindihan kung bakit patuloy na pinipili ni Jin na protektahan siya. Habang mas lumalalim ang kanilang pagkakasangkot sa isa't isa, mas maraming bagay ang natutuklasan ni Airi tungkol sa pamilya ni Jin-at tungkol sa mismong lalaking pilit niyang inuunawa. Dahil minsan, ang pinakamahirap kilalanin ay hindi ang taong kinatatakutan mo. Kundi ang taong hindi mo alam kung dapat mong pagkatiwalaan.

She didn't notice the presence behind her until a hand settled firmly at her waist, pulling her back gently. She looked up to find Samrat watching her, his expression unreadable as always. She tilted her chin up, holding his gaze steadily. "Gun dekhke darr laga?" he asked quietly. (Did the gun scare you?) Khwab looked straight into his eyes, and without another word, reached forward and pulled the gun tucked at his own waist out from his pocket, holding it briefly before setting it down on a nearby table. "Unki nahi, par aapki gun se zaroor lagta hai," she said. "Humare najdeek aane se pehle phenk ke aaya kijiye ise." (Not theirs, but yours definitely scares me. Please throw it away before coming near me.) Samrat studied her for a moment. "Humari gun se darne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Humari tarah yeh bhi mohabbat karti hai aapse aapko kuch karne se pehle yeh khudko khatam kar legi." (There's no need to fear my gun. Just like me, it loves you too before it could ever hurt you, it would destroy itself first.) "Aur agar kisi din humari maut ki wajah bani yeh toh?" Khwab asked softly. (And if one day it became the reason for my death?) "Ispar aapka khoon lagne se pehle hum uss wajah ko hi khatam kar denge," Samrat said, leaning down to press a slow kiss to her forehead. (Before your blood could ever touch it, I would destroy the reason itself.) "Itni mohabbat karte hain humse?" she asked, a small smile tugging at her lips despite herself. (You love me this much?) "Pehli dafa kisi se mohabbat hui hai. Aapko khabar tak nahi hai kitni shiddat se chaha hai Samrat Mahajan ne aapko." he said, voice low. (This is the first time I've loved anyone. You don't even know how intensely Samrat Mahajan has wanted you.) Khwab blushed at his words, looking away briefly before meeting his eyes again. ------------------------------------------- Qatil se mohabbat karenge to qatl to hoga hi na , chahe humare jism ka ho ya aapki rooh ka

By day, Kang Cheong is nothing more than a transfer student. Seventeen years old. A new face at Myeongseong High School. A quiet student with perfect grades and an ordinary school life. At least, that's what everyone believes. Behind that carefully constructed identity lies a past that was never meant to surface. Cheong is an unlisted asset-someone whose existence doesn't appear in ordinary records, whose skills were forged far beyond anything a high school student should possess, and whose name is known only within the darkest corners of the international security world. When he transfers to Seoul, his only intention is to live quietly and keep his past buried. But Seoul isn't as peaceful as it appears.

🖤 DAMNED BOND 🖤 "You belong to my empire now." "I saved your life. That doesn't mean you own mine." They weren't meant to meet. They were meant to stay in the shadows. Taehyung doesn't bow-he cuts servers and erases tracks with a quiet smirk. Jungkook doesn't negotiate-he takes what's useful and locks the door behind him. One breach in a dim restaurant. Sixteen years of buried secrets. A cold penthouse. A transaction disguised as a destiny. Every order is a trap. Every touch, a debt waiting to be collected. This isn't a romance. It's a cage built out of obsession and pure control. "Hate me all you want, Taehyung. But you'll find yourself under my roof." ⚠️ Warnings: ✦ Top / ruthless mafia boss Jungkook ✦ Bottom / femboy Taehyung ✦ Dark mafia AU & underworld power dynamics ✦ Ruthless obsession & heavy control ✦ Cyber intelligence & high-stakes hacking ✦ Forced arrangement ✦ Severe angst & cold emotional damage ✦ Forced proximity & strict secrecy ✦ 16-year time jump ✦ Cold heir / protective father dynamic ✦ Morally black characters ✎ Author's Note This story isn't here to play nice. It's a world built on dark obsession, cold empire rules, and secrets that take sixteen years to explode. I'm not here for soft beginnings-I'm here to show you what happens when power meets pure desperation. Step inside, read carefully... and let's watch the Jeon empire burn.

Please....tell me it is all a lie, and I wasn't just a pawn in your game," she begs, tears threatening to spill.
