Jason Fassbender, 38, divorced and happily single, was an indie game developer—who died on a snowy night while protecting his girlfriend.... more>>

Fortunately (or unfortunately), it was not over for him.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself possessing the body of Lee Sujin, 28, a debt ridden failed idol trainee who had to become an entry level manager in a talent agency to meet her ends and almost died while protecting her star charge from a stalker.

She was only meant to be one of those people who watched with amazement and worshipped the "Heavenly Being" who walked on the same ground as her. The "Midas Hand" whose triumph knew no bounds.

But they both now had a debt-ridden family to take care of! Making the MC shine does not clear all their debts!!!

One was a game developer, another one was an idol manager. With their mismatched skills, how could they even hope to succeed?

Well, they couldn't just let the second chance they got in life go to waste now, could they?

14-year-old Sasanoyou Aosagi comes from a family of opium farmers on the impoverished island of Nagekomi. After years of blight and never-ending raids by pirates, her family finally decided to sell their most useless daughter to the brothels. "Useless" — they called her — because she would often run off to the harbormaster's office to read books instead of laboring in the poppy fields like her diligent brothers and sisters.... more>>

"Useless", however, is a matter of perspective. Although Aosagi might be plain, dull, and unattractive like dried table salt, the Madam of a particularly shady pleasure house is interested in hiring a cheap yet literate peasant girl. The red light district of Nagekomi is a garden of fraud and false flowers, and who can think of a better use of a calligraphy pen than to embellish a few love letters with lies?

All are original characters. There will be some illustrations/portraits painted by me using traditional mediums :) Sometimes the links get broken, so I really appreciate that if you let me know!

There are 8 arcs planned, this is currently the first arc. Sometimes I'll go through and update with more details/plot points as they shift around, so don't be surprised if some details in old chapters change!

Currently posting a new chapter every Saturday and sometimes Wednesday if I've made extra progress.

Set some decades into the future so I can play around with technology.

General content warnings/disclaimer: There will be some laws broken, violence, verbal threats, involuntary confinement, breaking and entering, arson, body modification, poisoning, occasional death. You might call the genre cozy crime. The tone will generally be kept light and the characters may seem callous at times. This is many of the characters are criminals. They are not meant to be role models. Do not take this story as legal advice, security advice, or as a guide on how to commit crimes. This is fiction and any resemblance to people, places, and things real or imagined are coincidence. <<less

The void of space has always been a point of intrigue for humanity. It's driven us to go to great lengths to reach out to it. After many centuries, we finally touched it. Humanity expanded into the open, endless expanse of first the Sol System and then into the Milky Way galaxy itself. Other species were encountered and Humanity answered the lingering question of whether or not we were alone. After first contact, Humanity and the various Races created the Council. A central government to bring the civilizations together and forge peace across the Milky Way.... more>>

A peace that did not last and was shattered by rebellions, war, instability, distrust, and greed. The Council collapsed and factions formed. In the battles leading to its isolation, several systems were destroyed and entire races were wiped out. With no central police force, the galaxy became a festering pit of violence, deceit, and piracy.

The war was known as the 'Galactic Fracture' by many. After the war as the Council's influence crumbled, many people struggled for work. Some became mercenaries, corporate traders, pirates, or basic laborers to support themselves and their families. Due to the dangers of space, the average individual looked for safety within their system and refused to look elsewhere.

However, where there were cowards, there were several brave souls who dared risk the challenge of the void. Merchants, Transporters, Couriers, Escorts, Miners. For every scared soul there were four more willing to race outwards into the nothing, chasing dreams, wishes, hopes, and the impossibility of something more than the boring life stuck on some random planet.

One of those people is an man named John. A man who likes to remain hidden and who takes pride in his small, low threat jobs. Well, usually. His last job turned out to be bigger than he was told. After exiting a jump, he was ambushed and his ship was damaged heavily, leaving him stranded on the planet Louxier Seven. A desolate forging world with a pitiful shipyard that would take months to get the repairs done for him, and would leave him in crippling debt afterwards.

John had accepted his fate and elected to work part-time locally while waiting for the repairs when he finds himself visited by a strange woman. A woman with a job.

In a world where magic and technology work hand in hand to make life more comfortable, it's kind of baffling that some folks still struggle to make ends meet and pile up debts. Maybe it's due to their obsession with keeping up appearances, their endless craving for wealth, or something even deeper. Money becomes their nagging problem, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to find a quick fix, even if it means ignoring the consequences. They're all about seeking momentary pleasure and diving into whatever whims and fancies they desire. It's a sad loop that drags many down.... more>>

He climbed the steps of the Demon Queen Castle alone. Both of his sides felt unusually empty. How did it get to this? What did he do wrong? Was it just because he's in debt? Why, oh, why did he borrow that money? Even if it was her dream, he should have just refused, even if it broke her heart. Even if she hates him from then on, he should have refused.... more>>

Ah, right, he has to focus. The top of these stairs does not look attractive to him now. His friends had come here first, and without telling him, they had left him alone.

They left a simple letter: "Wait for us."

And then, three months passed. He should have gone after them immediately. Why did he wait three months, and why didn't they come back? Did the demon queen kill them? What even is that question? If those petrified statues decorating both sides are to be believed, they're dead already. 

A single thought pops up in his mind: "Now then, how did it get this bad?"

Trying out a few changes. I think 6~8k per chapters might be too much. So expect a 3 chapter a week

The cover and illustrations for the character sheets are AI generated, and will be replaced as soon as I have the time for drawing again.

I think I should clarify a few things, since i got a feedback from someone. This story will not contain NTR.

What to expect in smut:
... I don't know actually. I have written several maledom and femdom scenes for this already. And but mostly its just vanilla. You can see the character sheet and their respective fetishes to know what to expect. Oh but there are a few snuff scenes, but its mostly not fetishized(?), there's also a few noncon but that's not what the corruption tag is for. I swear. <<less
