An ancient, dreadfully powerful entity that had once been sealed away to slowly fade into oblivion is revived by a chance encounter, though in a much reduced state. ... more>>

A temple monk on her way home for a vacation is distracted into exploring a newly formed Spiritual Nexus due to the cuteness of its rabbit monsters, leading to an entirely unexpected chain of events.

A kitsune whose death caused a goddess to pity her fate and revive her as a reincarnated Nexus Core, a land spirit of endless potential but whose life is tied to a crystal sphere that must be carefully guarded.

Thrown together by a twist of luck, these three navigate a complex relationship and build their own rules to live by. But there are those who are not pleased to see the return of this ancient being.

The primary romantic relationship is poly and mutual.

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

Royalty x enemies to lovers x fake dating... more>>

When the King of Paican declares his decision for the crown to be passed down not by succession, but by marriage, the palace's halls are filled with chaos. His three sons and one and only daughter are set to compete with each other in a race to find a spouse worthy of bearing the royal family's name, all for the sake of their coronation.

But Lucian knows he cannot fall behind his siblings - the crown must be his, at all costs. And he has a plan on how to get ahead.

Silas lives in the slums of Paican, his entire existence dedicated to feeding his family and fending off the whips of the Royal guards. The only thing stronger in his heart than his desire to protect those he loves, is his distain for the nobility, guilty of abandoning their own people to suffer while they drown in their own riches.

That is, until the Price himself comes knocking at his door.

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?

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.

In my previous life, the Phoenix Emperor brought his two sons to our Azure Luan clan to choose their brides.

Prince Jianyu took one look at me, the legitimate daughter, and immediately chose me. But fate had other plans. On the day I gave birth, I delivered a low-ranked phoenix chick, its feathers as black as night.

Enraged, Jianyu strangled the child with his own hands, then turned to my half-sister, Meiyun, and made her a consort .

When Meiyun gave birth to a radiant nine-colored phoenix, Jianyu drove a sword through my chest.

“You wretched woman! How dare you cling to the position of principal wife? Make way for Meiyun, now!”

In utter despair, I chose to self-destruct, dragging him with me to the underworld.

But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the bride selection.

This time, Jianyu didn’t even glance at me. He immediately chose my half-sister Meiyun, excitement flickering in his eyes.

I turned to the second prince, Liwei, who stood beside the Phoenix Emperor. “Prince Liwei, would you be willing to choose me?” <<less

"Lu Quing?" Ren's laugh was hollow. "He's no ordinary man."

"No," the figure said slowly. "He is the Remnant."

Ren went still.

"The what?"

"Angel to some. Monster to others. The last of an ancient race who sealed the Gate of Origins with his own blood." He tilted his head. "Even I fear him."

Ren gritted his teeth. "And she's falling for him."

"It was written," the silver-eyed figure said. "But not how it ends."

A pause.

"You can still break her," the man continued. "But not with war. With doubt."

Ren's smile returned.

"I know exactly who to send." <<less

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.

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

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.
