#R18 #MatureContent #CEO #Action #Romance #Cultivation #Mafia #Mystery #ImmortalsIn a world that believes ancient power is only myth, one woman stands where few dare—with strength seen, unseen, and beyond understanding.Brilliant, composed, and fiercely strategic, Ling Li has mastered the art of survival at the highest level of modern society. As the world’s elite wage wars in boardrooms and backrooms, she navigates betrayal, corporate sabotage, and political manipulation with ruthless poise. But behind her graceful demeanor lies a deeper truth — her every move is shadowed by deadly secrets and a past carved in blood.When threats begin to spiral—not only against her but also against her family — Ling Li must rise through betrayals cloaked in smiles and battles masked as a business. Some want her silenced. Some want her broken. But none realize that the power they fear isn’t hers alone.Because in the underworld of whispered names and vanished enemies, one figure reigns above all — Otako. Elusive. Unyielding. A force whose presence alone bends the rules of power. No one knows who Otako truly is. But one thing is certain:Where Otako walks, silence follows. And where Ling Li stands, empires either rise… or fall.Beside Ling Li also stands Chu Yan — a brilliant, unshakably loyal partner, unaware of just how many secrets surround the woman he loves. But when danger edges closer to their family and shadows begin to stretch too far, the mask of control may be all that stands between survival and collapse.Power wears many faces. And Ling Li has mastered them all. She controls the chessboard. But even masters can bleed.THIS IS AN ORIGINAL WORK OF THE AUTHOR EXCLUSIVE FOR WEBNOVEL ONLY.

[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things][Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.]~Even if you're someone who typically doesn't enjoy works with smut, I request you to give this novel a chance (provided you're 18 or older of course). It would be awesome if you could at least read Volume 1 before deciding whether or not this is your cup of tea.~This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (Realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts.The story begins with Hiro's (the MC) transmigration into a magical world. At first glance, this “World” might look quite similar to many other fantasy worlds that you've come across on your reading adventures. Status screens, levels, classes, gods, kingdoms, elves - all that good stuff.But it will soon become clear that this World has its own “Rules”. These (mostly) game-like Rules will bring out unique character interactions. They will be what differentiates the World in my story from other similar fantasy worlds.Now about the characters - specifically the main character.The MC (Hiro) will be thrust into the role of Ruler in the new World right off the bat. He starts with a bottom-tier, barebones realm and makes his way to the top.I'm going to say this right away - Hiro is a deeply flawed character at the start. Yes he might be overpowered and good at getting things he wants, but that does not make him flawless.Hiro has glaring emotional flaws at the beginning. He is intelligent but not in the emotional sense. He is lustful but not truly loving. He is apathetic towards death (both of himself and of others).The women who surround him will also have their own problems, both internal and external.As the story progresses, it won't just be the MC and his realm growing in power.Hiro and his harem will also mature emotionally. Hiro's character growth will be a slow, grueling burn. It isn't going to be a smooth straight line from point A to point B.But when it finally does happen, it will be worth it.That's all from me, your author. I hope you enjoy the ride.P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated.Thanks and Enjoy! :)

Zombie Apocalypse? Been there, done that. Got the mutation inside of her to prove it.Seraphina made a wish, a chance to die human and be reborn a year before the world ended. She thought that if she could just go back to the life she had before, to the body she had before, then everything would be fine.That was what she was promised when the lab burned down. That was what she was expecting.But wishes never go the way you wanted them to. Instead of having a seed inside of her to keep her safe, Sera brought back the creature that had been trying to take over her body.And it was stronger than ever before.When the apocalypse came this time around, it wasn't the zombies she had to worry about. Blizzards, a new ice age, shifting temperatures, and a summer from hell were all become part of the course for the inhabitants of Country N. But when she tried to help a friend, secrets that should never have been exposed come to the surface.She told them that she was just lucky. That it really wasn't as heavy as it appeared, that it really wasn't as far as it appeared, that she really wasn't as purple as she appeared, she lied.Betrayed and taken back to live in a cage and be experimented on, Sera isn't going to forgive or forget the betrayal that she had experienced.And when an old friend from a past life shows up, ready to spill everything so that a new human race can emerge from the ashes.... well, Sera just isn't having it.She didn't survive what they did to her in Country M, but this time, she wasn't in it alone. More than willing to take on the government, the survivors, the zombies, and the elements, Sera will carve out her own place in the world.A world that she was never supposed to survive.Details:RH (No MM)MilitaryBetrayalZombiesAnd a hybrid that never should have been rebornOther Books:Apocalypse Series:Rebirth In The Apocalyse: Third Time's A CharmFight, Flight, or Freeze: The Healer's StoryBe Careful What You Wish For: A Zombie Apocalypse NovelStar's Universe:Star's ShipsPart Of Your WorldStand Alone:Dancing With MonstersThe Witch In The Woods: The Transmigration of Hazel-Anne Davis
