Everyone has their own struggle and happy moment in their lives, many fell to their own temptation to end their life in their journey to reach their end goal.... more>>

From zero to infinity, from infinity to zero, the countless choice in this life is nothing but a way to reach a happy and fulfilling ending.
However, that very choice, is also a death trap to reach an early end.

“I have no regret if I could be with you, as long as you’re by my side, as long as you keep holding my hand, I do not regret anything…”

The story of one man wanting to stay together with the one he loved is about to start.

“You and I, we will always be together. Even if you die… I will follow you soon, with this knife in my hand, we will always be together. Without regret, without pain, with only love, I will be with you… Even in death.”

The devotion of a woman to stay with her loved one is about to begin. <<less

It is love at first sight when dragon king Qiu Ling makes the acquaintance of the Heavenly Emperor’s son, Jing He. In... more>> his mind, there is no doubt that he will spend the rest of his life with this person. Unfortunately, Jing He is not inclined to accept his proposal, instead feeling intimidated by the dragon king and his wacky sense of romance.
With one pushing forward and the other retreating step by step, a tug-of-war for Jing He’s heart begins. But Qiu Ling never wavers in his conviction: Even if it takes ten years, one day, he will manage to romance the Son of Heaven and call him his. <<less

At the banks of the Fen Hua river stands Madam Yan’s Matchmaking Pavilion where even the most unlikely of lovers can make their wish for a future together come true.... more>>

When General Yu returns from the battlefield and is urged to marry by his family, he is less than thrilled. What is this nonsense about only bringing true lovers together in Madam Yan’s Matchmaking Pavilion? That woman is just a money-grubber with a fake backstory! He’d like to see how she’ll try to sell some flower vase to him.
But when he is faced with Scholar Zhang Shi Lan, he can’t help but wonder if this Madam Yan might truly be able to make a miracle come true. Whatever. If she can’t, he’ll just kidnap the beauty. <<less

A beautiful girl? Exceedingly so.
A rich girl? Filthy.
A powerful girl? Obviously.... more>>

All systems are go, but but but there appears to be a catch.

He held his beautiful head and screamed, "How did this happen to me?!"

After waking up to an unfamiliar ceiling a former man found himself sporting long black hair, fierce red eyes, fair skin, and a rather incredible figure. "This resting b*tch face ..." he contemplated momentarily, "It's totally my preference! But it's totally my face! Totally bad news!"

The only option was to buy time until he could figure out what was going on and very soon he realized, "Aren't I screwed?" He was a duke's daughter engaged to the crown prince of the kingdom and was currently attending a magical academy with a cast of overly hot men happening to be the same age. This was clearly an otome game setting, and with his elegant, flower of evil, villainess face he inwardly broke out in a cold sweat.

The major problem was his total lack of information for he had never heard of the otome game he was currently in. Ergo, he had no idea how to avoid a bad end. However, the true problem was even more profound. "Marrying a man is impossible: I'm only into girls!"

P.S. This is my attempt to join the supreme race known as authors, whom I hold the greatest respect for. And let me tell all the fine people of culture that otome game novels are my element and noble villainess girls are the blood coursing through my veins. Ohoho.

To be in two states at once, simultaneously bearing one state or the other. Uncertainty, that was what ruled this phenomenon.... more>>

But what if that was simply natural? Two people, suddenly finding themselves connected as though they were both one yet still separate, that was their story. The story of Daniel Eldegard and Fiora Indentia.

Transcending the connection that even a familiar would have to its master, that was what they possessed. Acting separately, but ultimately experiencing and sharing everything…

Simply put, they were two sides of the same coin. <<less

I was just an apprentice of a blacksmith, a poor peasant, with no money, no wife. I was only living a life of drudgery, servitude, and repetition. My only gratitude was my blacksmith master took me under his wing. But even that, I was subjected to his murderous and absurd training. He said it's a way to prepare me for being a blacksmith. Yet, regrettably, I died before I was even a blacksmith! ... more>>

Getting through the trials of being summoned and fighting a demon lord for many years by will of the kingdom, the young hero Arthur has come to a crucial point. Despite having a slave collar put upon him, he has broke its magic stranglehold upon him, then turned his attention to serious matters. He could finally settle down with his beloved princess who had chased him all along; yes, he softened his heart toward this catgirl princess at last.... more>>

Except. Just getting to the good part ― yet *another kingdom in another world* has called for a summoning! Its result ― he's *again* pulled away from a life, and his loved ones. Not only this, but ... some unresolved issue from his first summoning ritual might still be in play. But ... no cat princess has come with him? He won't ... have his happiness?

"Oh no you didn't just summon me!" ... is what he thought. He wouldn't reveal what he has in mind, at least not just yet. But at least he still has all those abilities and skills learned in the previous summon, and years of vital experience seeing how the summoners treated summoned 'heroes'. By subtle tricks of his own, he escapes the trap of this king. Arthur avoids wearing a second leather collar offered to him by a king ― who tries to softly 'convince' him, saying it would 'help' him fight better stronger longer. Or, by clever questions, he could play along and divert his captors' minds ― to infer his own script-

-and then ... having escaped from the summoning ritual, invisible for a time ... he could look for a way to arrange matters to his benefit. Because ― Arthur has served as a summoned slave once before ― and so this kingdom must pay for its insolence!

"Lovely Goddess" was the name of the last game I played before dying. It was an ordinary Otome game with a beautiful heroine, 5 top-notch capture targets and of course a villainess.... more>>

After dying of sleep deprivation, my soul was transported to the world of the game and into the Villainess' 8-year-old body.
Now, not only do I have to cope with my own death and the loss of my family but I also have to deal with my new situation.
I'm rich, beautiful and a powerful mage. There's no way I'll die because of a dude after being given a second chance at life. Nope! Not doing this! I will not participate in this nonsense.

These are the words Eschia said that night.

When she woke up, she was transported into the world of novel that her bestfriend wrote. But that's not only problem that she have.

The protagonists look like her and her late boyfriend. That's not a big deal right? It's an advantage instead! However, it only applies if she reincarnated as the female lead and not as the villainess <<less

When the highschool counselor Daren Aldrech dies protecting a student during a school shooting, he is told by his angel of death that he does not meet the requirements to to gain divine status and become an angel.

This is my second series which I am doing on the side with a lower release rate (about 1 chapter per week) compared to the 3 per week from "Key to the Void."

A fast-paced comedy/fantasy adventure starring a sassy female warrior striving to break a curse. ... more>>

Regaining your youth isn't all it's cracked up to be.

At 23 years old, expert mercenary Willa Lang isn't exactly old to begin with, so she's less than thrilled when an 'undeserved' curse turns her back into a younger version of herself. A MUCH younger version - meaning she now looks like a six-year-old. Willa needs to turn herself back to normal, and quickly. But the woman who cursed her is being a complete witch, insisting that Willa show herself to be kind, generous and unselfish before she'll lift the curse.
Kind generous and unselfish... Go on a quest and help a few people. It can't be that hard, right?
Wrong.

A story about a girl who suddenly woke up to an unknown ceiling... ... more>>

She has reincarnated... into a body of a red-haired seven year old duke's daughter called Rosette Yttrea.

May had read too many novels to procrastinate with her studies; she was a very degenerate isekai hoe and a sucker for villainess noble girl isekai. Many comrades who love the genre would have imagined at one point, "What would it be like to suddenly reincarnate into a different world?" She too embraced such fluttering thoughts.

But when the actual situation came to play, she wanted to do nothing but swear endlessly upon how naive her thoughts were.

Don't transmigrators usually reincarnate after death by a kiss from truck-kun? SHE WENT TO BED LIKE ANY OTHER NORMAL DAY!
Before reincarnating, isn't there some sort of god or omnipotent being to give her some OP powers? SHE JUST WOKE UP LIKE THIS!
Don't reincarnators usually have extensive knowledge of what's going to happen in the future?
It was true she was an isekai fanatic, but NONE of the specific plot and details stuck with her after she was done reading.

So why is she in this situation? Hey, God? EXPLAIN THIS?!
