A young man from Earth is living his life as best as he could, though it seems boring. Despite his efforts, no rewards awaited him. Fed up with everything, he often found himself wasting time. His routine was monotonous: wake up, go to school, come back home, and indulge in whatever entertainment the internet offered until late into the night. After a few hours of sleep, the cycle would repeat.... more>>

This pattern continued until a fateful encounter. During his second year of college, on his way home, he came across an injured kitty on the roadside. He tried to assist, but it appeared to be too late for the little creature. Or so he believed.

In an unexpected twist, before he could act further, he was kidnapped. The abductor? A house. The kitty wasn't spared either, and both of them disappeared into the structure, never to be seen on Earth again.

Suddenly, the young man found himself in the ancient House of Magus. This wasn't a part of the material world; it seemed to exist either in the spiritual realm or somewhere in between.

Now, witness this young man's adventures as he encounters the beings that inhabit this house and its surroundings. As he tries to settle into his role as the housekeeper, he must also manage the myriad challenges thrown his way.

"Wait, what do you mean the kitty was the primary target? Am I just collateral damage?"

A journey filled with amusement, self-discovery, and a fair share of frustrations with his unconventional tenants begins.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mostly stress-free story about daily life of Mc living in fantasy house with non-human tenants. There will be some action once in a while but it is not the main theme.
This is basically opposite of my other novel which is way more grim. In this there won't be probably even bloodshed.

The story can be read also on RR. <<less

The Ripple occurred in the 21st century that changed the world as we once knew it. The face of the world had changed drastically when... more>> monsters started to be found wondering in the cities and dungeons erupted in strange places. The new heroes of the world are those with classes. Many of these new heroes inherited their special class and were able to start leveling up when the ripple happened. Some people gained a new class when certain requirements were meet, and others gained a class from books from dungeons. But most common people like Johann had never been gifted by a class and have to continue working their life the same way as everyone else. And only those with a class can enter a dungeon to gain further riches.
Johann is discriminated even worse because there is no where for him to move up while working at Sauropod Station. He has to wait on people at the register, clean up their trash, and put up with everything while trying to keep a smile. But this all is about to change when he finds a class book and becomes Gas Station Sauropod's first and only necromancer.

An enemies-to-lovers vampire romance... more>>

When the man I loved left me at the altar to run away with another woman, I thought there was nothing worse that could happen. I was wrong.

To save the family from financial ruin, my father married me to Viktor Volkov, a mysterious foreigner I only met once. I had to leave everything behind to live with a captivating but enigmatic husband.

Viktor's icy blue eyes were both alluring and intimidating, and despite the tension between us, I couldn't deny the attraction. As we navigated our complex relationship, the desire grew stronger.

One night, I made a shocking discovery in his bedroom: Viktor was a vampire. I knew I should escape while I could, but instead, I found myself longing for him to acknowledge and claim me as his own.
