She’s My Wife, So I’ll Protect Her However I Want

[WARNING: SEXUAL VIOLENCE: RAPE, TORTURE, MURDER] Male MC| No-Harem| No Yuri| No Yaoi| No NTR ____________________ ____________________ "You're a monster! How could you do this to her? Isn’t she your—" "Yes. She’s my wife. So, I’ll protect her however I want." Kael Ardent is the weakest adventurer in Velhart Town—timid, unremarkable, and scorned by all. At least, that’s what everyone believes. Beneath that fragile facade lies the most feared killer in the underworld, a man who strikes without hesitation, leaving no trace behind. A man who kills not for pleasure, nor coin, but for a purpose buried deep within his dark past. Seraphina Ardent, the kingdom’s strongest knight, is everything Kael pretends not to be—proud, noble, and bound to the unshakable laws of justice. As the captain of the Royal Knight Order, she has dedicated her life to eradicating criminals, never once straying from her path. But despite her strength, she is shackled to a cold, loveless marriage—one arranged by noble duty, binding her to a man she neither respects nor understands. By day, she scorns him. By night, she hunts the elusive assassin who stains the streets with blood. Unaware that the killer she so desperately seeks shares her bed. Kael enjoys pushing her buttons, taunting her with lazy smiles and harmless jests, never expecting the lines between amusement and something far more dangerous to blur. But when he realizes that unseen forces are moving against his wife—his duty shifts. Protecting Seraphina means continuing his life as a killer, eliminating threats before they reach her. Yet the inevitable looms ever closer. When Seraphina finally uncovers the truth—when she realizes that the man she swore to arrest is the same man she has unknowingly come to care for—what will she choose? Her unyielding duty… or the husband she was never meant to love? In a world where deception and justice collide, Kael and Seraphina must navigate a perilous path—facing enemies in the shadows and within their own hearts. But when swords are drawn and the final truth is laid bare, will love be enough to bridge the divide between an assassin’s sins and a knight’s unshakable oath? But one question remains: Can he save her? --- A/N: I'd be happy to get feedback as this is my first book. This will show that I actually have readers.

Infinite Evolution: My Idle Evolution System

“First were the Gates, and now you’re saying the world has been invaded by Aliens and we’re soon going to be turned into livestock…? Great…” —---------------- *Ding!* [You have awakened with the Idle Evolution System!] “The wha—” Suddenly thrown into a magical parallel world of the Earth he once knew, Cassius was greeted with powerful beings known as Hunters and the terrifying Gates that plagued the world. Moreover, he received a message… [To Idle, one must stay proactive!] [Firstly, you require Character Development!] “Character Development…?” [You seem a bit (A lot) overweight, and you resemble that of a goblin!

That was the First Major Calamity. Now, one hundred years later, the next major calamity has arrived—the subtle invasion of an Ancient Alien species from deep into the Milky Way Galaxy. Its undercurrents spread far and wide, with the threat an apocalyptic one. Yet, that is but the 2nd of Three Major Calamities as per prophesied by the famed prophet, Baba Yaga. The Third Calamity, and the most dangerous of the Calamities, is one that will bring about the true END of the world, but only if the Second Calamity can be overcome by humanity… What does this Third Calamity detail, one might ask…? To know the answer to that, one would have to brave past the first Two Calamities and stare into the abyss, praying to all Gods known to man that the Abyss does not stare back also into you… ----------------- Discord: https://discord.gg/2fDHq9F8eB Every Magic Castle Gift = 7 Chapters Every 100 PS = 1 Chapter Every 50 GT = 1 Chapter ko-fi.com/astral_pandemonium Every $15 donated to my Kofi will force me to post another Chapter!

Villain With A Side Quest

Meet Kieran, a 12-year-old street urchin with a secret - dark powers and even darker dreams. Haunted by the memory of his sister Sara's tragic death at the hands of a noble, Kieran is determined to dismantle the nobility's oppressive power structure that allowed her killer to go unpunished. His goal: create a world where the powerful can no longer harm the vulnerable without consequences. When he stumbles upon Wells' mysterious grimoire, Kieran forms an unexpected bond with an ancient entity, gaining formidable abilities at a dangerous cost - his own life force. As he grows stronger, he becomes determined to master this entity, seeking a way to rewrite the terms of their arrangement and keep the power without paying the ultimate price. Juggling life as an assassin in the shadows, he eventually earns a spot at the prestigious Academy. Behind its hallowed walls, he hunts for forgotten knowledge that might free him from the parasitic bond while maintaining access to the dark powers he needs for his mission. Using clever tricks to hide his true abilities from professors and peers alike, Kieran carefully navigates the very institution that trains the elite he despises. By day, he studies ancient texts and rare magic; by night, he strikes from the darkness, targeting corrupt nobles one by one. But as his life force continues to drain and the darkness within him grows, a haunting question emerges: In his quest to change the world and master forbidden magic, will he survive long enough to see his vision realized, or will the very powers he sought to control ultimately consume him?
