Ann, a corporate slave in the modern life, suddenly couldn’t resist her body’s drowsiness and fell asleep after working non-stop for... who-knows-how-long. Her sleep wasn’t a good one as she was overly worried she wouldn’t be able to finish her work. When she finally woke up, she was greatly shocked. ... more>>

An unknown room, an unknown man with his icy expression, and moreover, the man addressed her as “Arlea”, and not “Ann”.
And then she finally realized. She somehow ended up in the body of “Arlea”—a villainess in the fantasy/romance otome game she had played in the past, when she still had free time to relax. To make things worse, she remembered that in the next one year, she—Arlea—was fated to die.

‘In such a situation, what should I do?’
‘Let’s think seriously of a way to overturn the situation?’
‘But hold on, what if I can’t change the scenario? Why bother?’

Having lived her days in the modern life as a serious and restrained woman who became a corporate slave to her death, Ann finally decided... to spend her additional 365 days to live well, and to cross out some of her bucket list that she could still do!

'If I can avoid my death, it's good. If not, at least I've enjoyed my additional time here in this fantasy world where magic and monsters exist, where I don't need to slave away my life ridiculously for the corporate!'

Little did she know that her decision would cause everyone who knew Arlea to be very surprised and alarmed with her change.
What happened to the villainous, hateful woman called Arlea? Why did she become like this? What is she scheming now??
Let's see how long she can keep up her pretense!

Can she avoid her death flag, or will she be able to survive more than the designed 365 days?

I received a System that granted me skills I apparently picked in my past life, that I don't remember even picking. Then the System gave me the Middle-Gold-Finger and left my life forever.

Now with knowledge I never imagined, how can I change my sad life around? Make money? Get revenge for bullying? Find some lovers? Become powerful? I don't know, but knowledge is only knowledge, and I still need to fend for myself.

With his father dead and his brother inheriting the earldom, Braydon sets out to inherit the family’s neglected title, Viscount of Cliforge, the only land of the Kingdom on the other side of the Brimstone Mountains. ... more>>

His new lands are on the border that is held peaceful by an uneasy truce and the same lands that claimed his father’s life on the battlefield.

With no reputation in noble society and no military might to speak of he will be a long way from challenging his brother whose land is some of the most prosperous in the empire, and has the backing of their younger brother, who has the smarts to raise their position even further.

Will he become another casualty to the lands that have already claimed his father, or become something more as he climbs his way to prominence?

At least he can be sure that his brother would never see him rise peacefully, and the neighbouring Grand Duke desires the last territory of the kingdom on the eastern side of the mountains. His position is anything but stable, he will do anything to change that and build his realm.

But unlike the Aeris of the original game, this one has a secret weapon The Villainess System, a game-like interface that rewards manipulation, cunning and slaughter.

Aria is deep in the closet that she could feel the icy winds of Narnia. She prefers that to the alternative of coming out. ... more>>

For her, visiting comicons, watching favourite girl ships was an outlet.
Getting into a LARP marriage with a beautiful girl was an indulgence.
Driving the girl home was impulsive.
Now, Aria's carefully crafted world is upside-down.

Her new girl has allure, and, devotion to coax her guarded heart to come out.

Forging a romantic bond with the girl should be easy, right? Except for the scorn from homophobes, and disapproval from her own family and finally, Aria's own mind.

How far could she trust a girl who claims to be an ACTUAL alien and that their LARP marriage to be real?

Threats both local and extra-terrestrial, keep piling up, but a year and a day, and Aria's life should be back to normal. Her new girl should be gone.

Except, Astra intends for more from the adorable human girl. She could never leave the side of her new wife. And she would do anything it takes to make her fall in love with her.

============================

Author Notes:

The story is set in contemporary, present-day world with slight elements of sci-fi, futuristic technology, even those are confined to space opera genre.

This story contains, elements of coming out, homophobia, transphobia, subtle misogyny, every day microagressions and the acceptance of self.

The MC is a dumbass and her struggles are, at times, adorable and at time cringeworthy with an equally baffled and hot roomate/wife. Her fears range from extemely valid to superficial ones. This is the story of an MC who knows what she is but lacks the courage to accept.

There is a transcharacter but the revelation and implication comes late in the story. Hence I have not added a trans-tag, so as to not mislead readers. <<less

Imagine waking up from a coma and then looking at a rich CEO from a company overseas. Next to him is the most beautiful girl you have ever seen. Just when you think things couldn't be stranger, he says.... more>>

The first chapters first give detail to the world and then give life to the characters after that the story begins as the synopsis says.

* Chapter are 2500 to 4000 words each. So don't be put off by the number of chapters.

I upload once every 2 or 3 days. I sometimes upload daily or release doubles every second day.

The story is a dual mc story about a boy and a girl.

In this world, people wield superpowers restricted to the elements to fight the monsters that invade.

Depending on your element you join that clan. The different elemental clans compete with each other for the title of the strongest clan.

The mc is a lightning wielder who gains his powers in an unorthodox way.

Watch the mc's take the lightning clan from dead last to number one.

I'm a penniless writer. If you like my novel and want to support me you can do so here. My aspiration is to be a fulltime writer so if I can make a decent living; I will upload more frequently while increasing the chapter quality. https://www.patreon.com/lazareth <<less

Imagine waking up in a stranger’s body, only to discover you’re married to a hot MILF who despises you. That’s Aric Lawson’s reality when he awakens as Vayne Arkwright—a disgraced noble whose sins have left Ashwick in ruins and his wife, Seraphina, seething with hatred. To make matters worse, Vayne’s memories are gone due to amnesia, leaving Aric clueless about this world of magic, betrayal, and debauchery. His sole guide is Ivy, a sarcastic, self-aware system who offers no quests or clear direction—just cryptic advice and sarcasm.

Trapped in a body tied to a legacy of cruelty, addiction, and corruption, Aric must navigate a broken marriage, treacherous politics, rebuild crumbling cities, and win back the trust of those Vayne wronged—all while grappling with the lingering guilt of inherited sins. With no easy answers, Aric faces an impossible journey: redeeming himself in a life not his own while resisting the darkness within Vayne’s essence. It’s a messy, infuriating start. <<less

Princess Vyshala lost her godking father,and her brothers, to the fury of the Red Empress. As the only marriage-eligible princess of the royal household, she has sworn to protect her thirteen-year old youngest brother from a similar fate. Even if it meant going against their culture, by accepting the proposal of the Red Empress to become her bride. ... more>>

She would forge peace, while invoking the ire of her people, while shunned and ostracised.

Isolated from all that she had known, from all whom she cared and cursed by her own people, she would attempt everything to form an everlasting peace. A laborious task , for within the walls of the imperial city, threat of a different sort lurks. From the machinations of the imperial high chancellor, legionary generals still seeking to open old wounds and petty dukes fueling their rivalry.

But the greatest challenge of them all, The Red Empresses herself. The diamond-hard gaze, the icy coldness of her exterior and finally, the self-erected iron wall guarding her impenetrable heart.

When seduction is not an option, it is comforting a cold dead heart that would pave her way to peace.

Neir Featherburn Agustus is a typical office worker who works a standard 9-to-5 job at a large call center.... more>>

His life wasn't horrible, but it wasn't great either; he was a decent middle-class single man. He did, however, have one feature that set him apart from the norm: his Agustus family curse Bloodline. The Agustus family was known to be cursed by the Goddess of Love, Ishtar, for a crime his ancestor had committed.

"You were given love, but you betrayed it, and now that I've decided to take it back, you curse at me in such a way sixth Agustus... heheh... fine... you want love, I'll give it to you." No, in fact, I will shower you and your entire family with so much love that it will be the very thing that kills you."

As a result, Ishtar cursed the Agustus family with the curse of obsession. The curse is simple: any male of the Agustus bloodline will be loved to death by his lovers. In summary, Neir is a Yandere magnet; as a result, Nier does his hardest to keep his distance from the other sex out of fear for his life. He didn't want to end up like his older brother, father, uncle, grandfather, and cousins, all of whom had died within the previous two years, making him the last true Agustus.

As if it wasn't horrible enough, the world and his everyday life were now in danger. And it all began on that fateful day when the world's voice appeared.

[Attention all Gaian subjects: the day of judgment is here. As a result, the world will end in three days, the dead will rise, monsters locked in the neither will flood the mortal realm, and the Zenomen, an alien civilization, will conquer the entire known universe. However, not all hope is lost; in order to acclimate to the new world and maximize your chances of survival, please select a class and race.]

What's a girl to do? It's an isekai, obviously change everything.

He was tired. He lived in a loop: same suffering, same hatred, same ending.
He was falling. He kept gaining and losing, gaining and losing: family, friends, love.
He was dying. He kept falling asleep, dreaming of never waking up.
What was the purpose of his existence? A mere observer of countless worlds, stories and people?
Voices whispered in his dreams.
“Wait for me.”
He was waiting. But for how long? For how long before he tired, fell, and died?
“Wait for me.”
He was waiting.

Dago. A cynical descendant of wicked wizards with an insatiable appetite for women, power, and gold.

Hera. An empathetic healer whose impeccable reputation the reformed villain would like to borrow.

Upon hearing that a marriage could help him get a promotion to a government position, Dago doesn’t feel like laughing. But when a marriage candidate arrives at his flying castle and asks for help in breaking a curse, his draconic instinct tells him that her ability to change sugar into gold might be worth more than all his businesses combined. It doesn’t matter that the phoenix witch’s fiery gaze easily sees through his greed. What counts is that she is desperate enough to consider making a pact regardless.

Dago silences the whisper of remorse and from the icy depths of his soul, he summons his personal charm. But there is one thing he forgets to take into account.

He might not be the only one who knows how to intrigue.
