But just when he thought it was all over, he met a god, a failed god, who granted him a glitched system.Reincarnated into the body of a meek teenager named Dapper, Liam finds himself in a world ruled by magic, systems, and mythical creatures. This time, he’s determined to live the life he never could in his old one. The wild fantasies he once harbored are finally within reach… but at what cost?

As the Evil Deity of the Earth, the Ruler of the Wasteland, and the Mother of Desolation, Bai Lianyue now finds herself utterly bewildered, pinned down on a bed.

Johnathan, an old man with an extraordinary past but an ordinary end, gets reincarnated in a dark fantasy world full of magic, darkness, and mysteries furled.

However, he committed a grave blunder by taking the fiction he had read as a reference. Reborn as a baby, he hoped to be deemed gifted by speaking early.

One thing led to another, and tragedy struck. The villagers declared him a demon-possessed and called the church. Johnathan, now known as Sylvester Maximilian, realized that he had messed up.

When the church's inquisitors came to judge him and burn him on a pyre. As a last resort and to welcome his soon to arrive second death, he started chanting holy hymns as his last breath.

Overwhelmed, they kneeled, thinking he was a messenger of Solis.

From there, the story of how Sylvester Maximilian rose through the ranks to sit at the top began.

But his life won't be ordinary, as he uses his cunning and the tag of 'God's favored' to his advantage. Fighting treachery, unearthing secret plots and world mysteries, facing the darkness around him and creating his place in history, engraving his name in the annals to be forever remembered as the—Immortal Pope, The Young.

[A/N: To not mislead you, the novel's name does not mean he instantly becomes the Pope from the start. The story will follow the life of MC. Though he will become the Pope at a pretty young age. 40% of the novel will be based around MC fighting to sit on the supreme throne.

If you enjoy world building and lore building, then you will like this story.]

[WARNING: MC will not go around saving everyone. Absolutely not if it puts him in danger. But if he can save someone using his status or position in the church, he will. He will kill innocent people if he has to. MC is not crazy, cynical, or unsociable. The world at some times may seem very DARK.]

The religion will be fake. I won't make it similar to those existing in our world not to trigger anyone. However, the Church terminologies and designations may feel identical as they are simple vocabulary words.

Again, everything you read in this novel is fictional and has no relation to our world.

I hope you enjoy my work. Stay safe and eat healthy bananas.

After an accident leaves him hospitalized, Mr. Yu awakens to an environment where pleasure and power flow unchecked. The hospital transforms into a stage for relentless sexual encounters nurses, patients, and even visitors engage in acts that dissolve the lines between caregiver and lover. Mr. Yu, both participant and object of others' desires, quickly becomes central to an unfolding erotic drama. The cast includes assertive nurses like Qianqian and Yunxin, whose care crosses into sexual service, a fellow patient eager to join in, and a revolving door of visitors whose own needs intertwine with Yu's recovery.The narrative expands to Mr. Yu’s life as a high school teacher. His homeroom class, especially the charming and voluptuous Lin Keke, develops cult-like devotion. Here, “consent” is reimagined through the lens of local customs and laws, and students openly form sexual, emotional, and ritualistic bonds with teachers and classmates. Lin Keke’s quest to become Mr. Yu’s sex slave supported by her similarly uninhibited family provides both tenderness and transgression, with familial relations redefined around sexual and submissive acts.Throughout, the protagonist grapples with societal expectations, guilt, and temptation, all while cultivating close ties sexual, emotional, and psychological to those around him. The world is painted as an alternate reality where sexual agency, devotion, and hierarchy coexist, but ordinary norms are replaced by personal rituals and acts of submission, love, and erotic exchange. Explicitly exploring taboo themes through detailed character actions and thoughts, the novel unfolds as an uncensored fantasy of intimacy, dominance, and vulnerability.NTR, Netorare, Adultery, Group Sex, BDSM, Humiliation, Sex Slave, Sex Toys, Incest, MTR, Married, Cheating Mother, Seduction, Objectification, Infidelity, Domination, Sexual corruption, Free Use
