The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.
a young woman named Ashley Vega finds herself at the center of a destiny she never asked for. Born under the auspicious Full Red Moon, Ashley is destined to be the Crescent Moon, the legendary sword of the Alpha King. However, her true identity has been hidden from her, concealed even from her by the manipulations of fate. Ashley grew up in the Moon Pool Pack, the daughter of the pack's beta, Zach. She was raised alongside Damon, the alpha's son, and Ria, the daughter of the pack's Zeta. The trio shared a bond forged in childhood innocence, unaware of the intricate web of destiny that entwined their lives. On her 18th birthday, Ashley's world shattered when she discovered that Damon, her closest friend and fated mate, had chosen another as his mate: Ria, her friend. Heartbroken and rejected, Ashley's cries to the moon goddess went unanswered, leaving her to face her pain alone. But Ashley's tragedy was only the beginning. A conspiracy against her father led to the massacre of her entire family, sparing only Ashley herself. Demoted to the lowly position of an omega, Ashley's life took a dark turn as she struggled to survive in a pack that had once been her home. Meanwhile, in the royal court of Evernorth, the Alpha Prince Jason mourned the loss of his mate before he ever knew her. Jason, along with his childhood friends Ethan, the Zeta's son, and Merlius, the Beta, formed a tight-knit trio until Merlius's ascent to power drove a wedge between them. When Jason was given a second chance at finding a mate, Ashley's path crossed his in the most unexpected of ways. Near death and desperate, Ashley found herself at the qualifying trials, where Jason saved her life and proclaimed her to be his mate. But her journey was far from over. As Ashley navigates the dangers of the Lycan Kingdom, she must face off against powerful adversaries like Merlius and Ria, who seek to manipulate her for their own ends. But Ashley's connection to Jason and the awakening of an ancient prophecy within her bring her to the brink of her true destiny. Only Jason, the Alpha Prince, holds the key to unlocking Ashley's power and controlling the uncontrollable force within her. As Ashley grapples with her newfound abilities and the dangers that surround her, she must discover the strength within herself to fulfill her destiny as the Crescent Moon and protect the kingdom from the shadows that threaten to consume it.

All Raven ever wanted was a chance — to go to college, make friends, be loved, and live like any other girl her age. But dreams, it seemed, weren’t meant for people like her. As a scholarship student at an elite university built for the wealthy and privileged, Raven's life quickly spiraled into a nightmare. Surrounded by cruelty and entitlement, she became the perfect target. Their relentless torment stripped her of everything — her dignity, her hope, her will to live. She bore it all in silence, blaming herself even for the tragedy that tore her family apart. Despair led her to the edge of suicide, but fate had other plans. Ten years later, those same bullies, now living lavish lives of success and luxury, had long forgotten the girl they destroyed. But Raven hadn’t forgotten them — not one bit. With scars that ran deep and a heart hardened by pain, she returned — no longer the fragile girl they once broke. One by one, she would visit her tormentors, delivering her own brand of justice and making them learn that every cruel action has a consequence. Because this time, Raven isn’t the victim. She’s the reckoning!
Welcome to Metamorphosis, a city whose name is less charming than the bloodsucking residents. Here, the nightlife is as neon-drenched as your nightmares, and the only predictable thing is the rhythmic grumbling of undead stomachs. Enter Callista, a young woman with emotional baggage exceeding lost luggage allowances and a past as dark as her eyeliner (but hey, who doesn't?). Thrust into a world of the supernatural with a past as murky as swamp water, Callista must navigate the treacherous landscape of the undead like an emo Barbie with a grumpy side-kick —resembling Mr. Darcy with a perpetual migraine (and a healthy dose of exasperated sighs). Their quest, however, takes a sharp turn when Callista discovers the line between hunter and hunted blurs faster than you can say "vampire academy." Think Hogwarts meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but with better fashion sense and an R-rated twist (think fangs instead of first kisses). Except, are the vampires truly the villains in this twisted fairytale? Is the world as black and white as it seems? And what does the enigmatic Queen desire besides, say, an apocalypse… right now?
Zark Arnold Morales was once a programming prodigy, a self-taught coder who quickly mastered languages like Python, C++, and JavaScript. By the time he reached the prestigious Lumenis Institute of Technology, Zark had already earned a reputation for his exceptional talent in cybersecurity. He seemed destined for greatness, with a bright future in the tech world ahead of him. But tragedy shattered his promising life. His mother's death from illness and his father's murder over unpaid medical debts left Zark alone and grief-stricken. Forced to abandon his studies, he was left scrambling to survive, taking on freelance tech jobs just to keep a roof over his head. Gone were the ambitions that once drove him—now, his focus was simply to make it through each day. In a desperate bid to cover his rent, Zark hacked into what he thought was an anonymous cryptocurrency wallet, only to discover that it belonged to Jason Cheng, a powerful and ruthless leader of the Chinese mafia. Captured and tortured by Cheng’s men, Zark was coerced into making a dangerous deal: hack into the secure system of Cheng's rival mafia, or face certain death. Zark successfully executed the hack, but he knew that completing the job wouldn't be enough to earn his freedom. With Jason's men keeping him on a tight leash, Zark plotted his escape. Against the odds, he fled to the city’s squatter areas, a place where the desperate and forgotten lived outside the reach of law and order. There, Zark stumbled upon an underground network of renegade hackers, each with their own story of oppression and anger toward the corrupt government. Operating from hidden bases in the slums, these hackers fought for the poor and oppressed, using their skills to challenge the system that kept them down. Their ideals stirred something in Zark, awakening a spark of purpose he thought he had lost forever. But Zark's past isn't so easily left behind. Jason Cheng's men are hunting him, determined to exact their revenge. At the same time, the government has begun to crack down on the hacker group, viewing them as a serious threat. Caught between two powerful forces, Zark must decide whether to keep running or to fight back with the skills that once made him a legend. In The Devil in The Code, Zark finds himself at the center of a digital revolution where survival means mastering both the art of hacking and the darker side of human nature. With enemies closing in from all sides, Zark must choose whether to use his talent for personal gain—or for something far greater than himself. But in a world where information is the deadliest weapon of all, the lines between right and wrong are constantly shifting, and the price of freedom might just be his soul.

I have more finesse than that. Besides, why steal money when you can steal someone's peace of mind?" A chuckle escaped Meilin's lips despite herself.

[MATURE CONTENT] Uncle Heath gave me a look that said that he knows what I'm doing and that he finds me petty and a scheming sly fox. He suggested countless times that I changed my codename from The Countess to Fox or Nine-tailed Fox, because he says it suits me better, or a Serpent, but I don't care. I am literally a Countess after all. He sighed. "Okay, Countess, you won. But if you get yourself killed on this, the same way your parents and their friends later on did, don't come back to haunt me as a ghost. I've been trying to protect you, as I promised I would as your Godfather, but you are a stubborn lil thing who kept insisting on this. You're 27 now, you better not die younger than you mom did." "Wait," Harriet gasped, "the mission you want," "It's the one my parents were working on when they died. Probably the reason why they died and related to their killers," sigh. "It's what kept me working all of those years, the hope on getting my hands on this mission, and uncover what actually happened in July 9th of 1999." I hate number 9, it signifies unluck to me, while 7 is my lucky number. Call me superstitious if you want, I feel like it's an actual thing. "All the documents on their death are here, it's kept secret together with the archived mission they were working in." "Ah, Selene," she said softly, coming closer, full of compassion but not touching me, as her hands are dirty with uncle Heath's cock. Ew, ew. "It's okay, it's been 24 years now," sigh. "Which makes me want to solve it even more," then I turned my eyes to uncle Heath, who was now up, standing at 1.97m, opening his safe that's hidden behind the big painting of a scenery found in Sicily, Italy, which Harriet painted. Picking a thick file in a leather case, he held it under his left arms and locked the safe again, covering it with the painting. I broke into it once, but I was unable to crack the code of the safe. I always knew he hid this file in there, "Be careful, for the love of God, Selene." "I will, I promise!" Narrowing his eyes, he raised his right pinky finger and I cringed in disgust. "Wash your hands first, ew." Rolling his eyes, we quickly went to the bathroom at the back of his office and then came back, hands clean, file still under his arm. "There you go, now, pinky it up, I know better than believe your shallow spoken words by now, I know how scheming you are." Grinning like a wolf who had been caught in sheep's clothing, I raised my pinky finger and intertwined with his. "I promise I'll be careful." Sigh, "I can't believe I'm giving you this. The last two times I gave these damned files to someone, they died. You batter change that statistics to 2:1 instead of 3:0, Selene. Do you understand me?" I grabbed the files, but he kept his hold on it, "I understand," with all my strength, I tried tugging it to me and out of his grip, and after a lil struggle, he let go.
