The Silence of Maple Hill

☆♡Married to the devil's father; Claimed by the devil himself♡☆ At 18, Genevieve Armani was auctioned off to an octogenarian mafia Don, her fate sealed in a cruel, loveless marriage. But when her husband dies on their third anniversary, Genevieve dares to hope for freedom. In his will, she is left all of his wealth—except one thing: her freedom. "Genevieve Armani will inherit all of my properties and assets, but she will be inherited by my son, Adrian Visconti," the lawyer read the last clause of the will out. Refusing to be anyone's property, Genevieve hatches a plan. She will push Adrian away, hoping to be discarded or at least left alone. However, her rebellious acts only fuel Adrian’s obsession. The more she defies him, the more intrigued he becomes, his fascination darkening whenever he glimpses her scars—reminders of the years she’s fought to survive. Now, Genevieve faces a choice: succumb to the role forced upon her or reclaim control of her life and complete the plan she's carefully crafted. But what will happen when Adrian uncovers the truth—that he’s the reason behind her every wound, both physical and emotional? ~ Note: This book is divided into two Volumes. Volume 1 follows Genevieve as she is auctioned into the dark, dangerous world of the mafia, where she becomes entangled in a forbidden romance while struggling to adapt to her new reality. Volume 2, however, is set three years later and delves into the heart of the main story. Rest assured, the narrative flows seamlessly, making it an unforgettable read. X♡X♡

No good deed goes unpunished. This was certainly the case for Benjamin Kirby, who saved a young life & lost his in the process. But fear not! Thanks to a conscientious benefactor, Ben gets a second shot at life in a far more interesting world. Now, armed with Ancient Magic of the Gods, watch as our intrepid protagonist delves into the secrets of magic, builds artifacts and cities, & travels through the Omniverse, making friends and enemies alike. This is my first attempt at writing a fanfic (or anything for that matter). English is not my first language, but there shouldn't be too many mistakes. The story will focus on magic, exploration, kingdom-building, with romance as subplot. Update Schedule - Wednesdays and Sundays (2 chapters/week)

In a kingdom where magic is everything, Ethan Hayes was never supposed to be special. No noble blood, no grand legacy—just a mysterious grimoire with a rare four-leaf clover, and a fire in his heart to defy the odds. But peace is a fragile illusion in the Clover Kingdom. From the shadows, a dark force rises—the Eye of the Midnight Sun—hell-bent on vengeance, chaos, and toppling the very foundations of the world. And Ethan? He finds himself caught in the storm before he’s even chosen a squad. As ancient secrets awaken, and battle lines are drawn in the skies, Ethan must carve out his place—not just to survive, but to rise. With wind magic that cuts sharper than blades and instincts honed through peril, he dares to challenge even the most powerful enemies, one spell at a time. Allies will be tested. Enemies will be shattered. And a new legend will be born—from the shadows, to the eye of the storm. Can Ethan rise above the chaos—or will he be consumed by it? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The first 35chapters might feel a bit slow since they set up the story, but it gets much better after that. If you keep reading, things get really exciting later on. ------------------------- Patreon Advance Chapters: patreon .com / Samorash

Medieval times, warring knights, dragons, demons, gods, pirates, behemoths... Barbaric, ignorant, backward, numb, starvation widespread, people unable to make a living... Damn it! Punch to explode this era!! Reclaiming wilderness, farming, bridge building, road paving, coal mining, excavating minerals! Leveling up, recruiting apostles, forging an army! Barrage troops!

As a lookism fan, we love all characters..but for me, the first Generation has a charm unmatched by others...They aren't the strongest nor do they have powers like the main cast. However in terms of charm, there is no one better. So what happens, when a reader like us suddenly transmigrates into the era of the First generation..except why does he have similar talents as the second generation? .................

Feared across the continent as the Bloody Duke of the South, Lucien Valecrest brought the empire to its knees in a decade-long war of rebellion. Cold, cunning, and charming in the most terrifying way, he carved a path through nobles and kings alike—until the arrow struck his heart in the emperor’s throne room. He died laughing… and then woke up ten years earlier. Now armed with a mind sharpened by war, secrets of traitors yet to act, and a forbidden blood magic only he can wield, Lucien sets his gaze on a single goal: do it all again, but better. Smarter. Faster. Bloodier. But there's a problem. Love. Specifically, them—the future enemies, allies, and pawns he once manipulated or murdered... who now keep catching his interest in all the wrong ways. A sharp-tongued baroness immune to his fear tactics. A priestess hiding a darker side. A loyal knight far too noble for her own good. And the one woman he swore he'd never fall for again. He may be a villain, but this time? He’s falling. And it’s ruining everything.
