“Only Haki can stand above everything else.” This was the supreme creed of the Great Route’s gold-medal lecturer, “Hundred Beasts” Kaido, a truth worshipped by countless people. But Roy did not agree. “Then let me ask you this... If there were an ability user who could analyze and collect all Devil Fruit powers, and who was unaffected by Seastone or seawater… couldn’t he rely on Devil Fruits alone to reach the pinnacle of this sea?” To prove his belief, Roy took action. Many years later. The Red Line, the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was engulfed in raging flames. Above Pangaea Castle, the one responsible stood calmly in the sky. A pristine white Marine cloak fluttered violently in the wind. “Are you going to make an enemy of the world?” The World Nobles demanded. Roy only bared his teeth in a grin. “Wasn’t I already an enemy of the world?” He smiled. Those who followed him stepped forward from behind. The figures at the front caused the entire scene to fall into dead silence. Everyone recognized them. They were the terrifying powerhouses who had risen suddenly to fame across the seas in recent years. Among them were assassins, revolutionaries, pirates, merchants, doctors… Without exception, they were all top-tier ability users, and all belonged to the same organization. It was said that this organization had a mysterious leader, the most dangerous criminal on the seas today. And now, the truth was obvious. “Y-You are…” The new legend of the Marines. The most dangerous criminal on the sea. From the very beginning, the two had always been the same person. His name was... Roy·Amos.

“Mommy!! Daddy’s new mate said she’s having a baby. Does that mean he won’t want us anymore?” little Colin cried, clinging to my legs. “Mommy! That rude lady said Daddy doesn’t love us.” my twin Amy whispered, her lips trembling. I looked up from my sobbing children at my Alpha King mate, who had come chasing after them once his so-called mate had hurt them. "She’s pregnant? You told me she was just a fling," I choked. "You and the kids will never lack luxury or comfort," he uttered, refusing to meet my gaze. So that was his excuse? That was his answer to cheating? “You’ve already lost me. Now you’ve lost your children too. We’ll live better without you, and one day you’ll regret losing us.” The moment I said it, his eyes finally met mine, they were wet too. "Alpha King Kash, I reject you!" I hissed. .. Iris thought she had the perfect mate until she caught her Alpha husband cheating.

In a palace where deception is law and freedom is impossible, can Rosalind survive and who will truly claim her heart?

He threw money on the bed after our one-night stand. I threw it back in his face at his own inauguration. By sundown, we were engaged. By the week's end — married.

Behind closed doors, I was invisible to him. When the two years were up, I handed him divorce papers without blinking. He stared at me like I'd lost my mind. "I've given you everything a husband should. What more do you want from me, Octavia?" I smiled, signed my name, and walked out. I thought that was the end. I thought I'd finally won. I forgot one thing — Franklin Flemington has never lost anything in his life. And he has no intention of starting with me. Game on.

What happens when you realize that your entire life was fake, and that you aren’t really the person you always believed yourself to be? Now you’re stuck in a mysterious and dangerous world where everyone wants you dead. The only things you possess are a terrifying reputation of being the strongest person blessed by God, and an extremely high intelligence. Allen wakes up in the body of a fearsome and ruthless crown prince in another world. He is considered extremely strong and naturally has countless enemies who view him as a threat. But soon he realizes three things: First that there is an organization which wants to kill him, and they don't mind playing dirty by using underhanded methods. Second that his transmigration in this world was not a coincidence, it was a part of someone's grand plan, and if it succeeds, his fate would be worse than death. Third that his powers are like a double edged sword, he must suffer himself if he needs to use them. This is a world where every single event is connected and you either be a pawn or a player. He must identify and outsmart those hiding in the shadows, uncover forgotten secrets regarding his own past life, navigate through dangerous politics against fellow schemers, explore and conquer this cruel and mysterious world, while also recovering the original body’s strength. A few points: The first major arc has been finished (ch 28) and has a pretty satisfactory climax imo. The second major arc has also been finished (ch 29-75). Trust me, there are insane reveals and shift of tides, and the climax is absolute cinema The MC is not naive, he is intelligent, manipulative and ruthless, but not actually evil. This isn't all about power flex; there are multiple intelligent characters, and the MC is forced to use his brain in various situations. Side characters are not there just for the sake of it; most side characters are complex and get proper development before the major arc ends (ch 28). The villain has a proper backstory and goal, and isn't just there to be a stepping stone for the MC. I have added quite some lore drops and emotional scenes after chapter 10. The intro and first 5 chapters may feel a bit generic, but it gets better and better from the 6th chapter onwards. One warning though, this is a dark and cruel world, and there are a lot of violent and terrifying scenes and body horror in this novel. Initial writing may be a bit weak, but I've fixed most of the previous issues in the current chapters The second major arc (Ch 29 onwards) is especially for those who don't want the MC to start at the top and dominate every fight with pure strength. As in that arc the MC leaves his home continent and starts from nothing (no resources, loyal people, identity, nothing). He conquers the other continent using his brain, through layered schemes and manipulation. But it still has fights and aura moments as the MC hates getting looked down upon. This is not AI slop, the whole story and dialogues have been written by me The MC is OP, but he also struggles in some fights (I haven't given him any plot armor, and the fights feel logical), and also gets outsmarted by others sometimes, there are more intelligent characters than him. Events overview: Ch 1-12: Identifying hidden enemies and survival Ch 13-18: Huge lore drops, world building and plot twists (this is where the entire story changes imo) Ch 19-28: High stakes War Ch 29-32: More lore drops and reveals about the outside world and power system. Ch 33-49: Enemy continent's royal family infiltration with a fake identity, schemes, manipulation, politics, and rise from nothing (Slave to king, actually logical and not at all easy) Ch 50-75: Battle of wits with the cunning major antagonist of the second arc, multiple near death experiences, layered schemes and final high stakes war Ch 75-83: Answers to all the mysteries, lore drops, and massive reveals Ch 84-Current: Journey through a sea having consciousness (Eldritch Horror) Lmk your feedback

Following her mother’s death, her father’s remarriage introduced a stepmother and stepsister who stripped Adeline of her dignity, forcing her to live as a servant in her own house. When the call for a royal bride arrived, she was discarded, traded like a burden to the one man in Valdaria whose name alone could chill the blood of the bravest warriors. Gideon Knightley, the kingdom’s eldest prince, was the legendary "Golden Alpha." Though his title suggested brilliance, his reputation was one of ruthless wickedness. Yet, a darker secret loomed: Gideon was cursed, and the price of that curse would be paid in blood by the woman who won his heart. No high-ranking family would dare gamble their daughter’s life on his volatile nature, leaving Adeline to be offered up like a sacrificial lamb to a wolf. However, the kingdom’s expectations were shattered the moment they met. A dark, possessive obsession took root in Gideon’s cold heart, transforming the predator into a protector. He vowed to become a mate whose singular devotion would be whispered of for centuries. Adeline, who had spent a lifetime fearing the chains of marriage, found herself falling for a man who did not just offer his hand but surrendered his entire soul to her, demanding nothing in return but her presence. ~~~~ "I am a broken Omega, Prince," she blurted out. "And your mother... She cares for you. She only suggested a way to protect you from whatever curse you carry. I simply saw a chance for the freedom I've never been allowed to have." Gideon spun on his heels with predatory speed. His hand moved to the back of her head, his fingers tangling in her hair as he surged forward, drawing her so close that even the air between them vanished. "No one cares for me," he hissed, his eyes burning with a dark, golden fire. "You think I am a fool, don't you? You placed your trust in the Luna Queen after a single meeting, yet you could not bring yourself to trust my words. Freedom? That is a word you will forget. I am going to show you exactly what happens when you listen to others, especially that woman."

She hated him for lying to her and kidnapping her. He would burn the world to protect her. “I’d rather die than be owned by you,” I screamed.

Dominic Russo, a mafia king, cold, calculative, untouchable. Mila hated him. She hated him for locking her up, for the way he looked at her as if she belonged to him. ----------- I stepped back as he approached. “You won’t be able to cage me here,” I barked. “I’ll find my freedom.” He sneered, with dangerous light in his eyes. “Try it. You won’t make it past the gate." He didn’t bluff. He wouldn’t let her leave his side, no matter what. Trapped in his dangerous world, Mila should run. But why couldn’t she stop thinking about him? She saw him kill without mercy, yet his eyes softened when they rested on her. His touch was possessive, but protective. ‘Does he love me?’ Her heart raced. In the world ruled by blood and power, with enemies close in from every corner, emotions were luxury. Love couldn’t bloom. Just as she started to wonder if this monster had a heart, she realized his heart was too cold to warm it. She understood she was nothing but his plaything. Mila’s hatred ignited all over again. She wanted to disappear from his world for good. But the man she called a monster, a ruthless killer, might be the only one willing to burn the world to protect her. ------------ He pinched my chin, putting enough force to make me wince. “You will not run again.” I dared to look into his eyes defiantly. “And if I do?” He said in a calm tone. “I’ll bring you back.”
