Short prologue
Cradling his delicate body in my arms, I stare down at his face lifelessly as a knife was pressed against my neck. Hard enough to draw blood but not kill me. What should have felt raw and cold against my bare skin felt like nothing. My body numb, I could feel nothing but the pain of betrayal. The only resemblance was the physical look, but even the once thought brilliant hyacinth-blue eyes, now look lifeless and dull.
“Cecil,” the voice of my love brought me back to my senses. I glance down at him, careful not to shift because of the knife.

Now is not the time to reminisce, I need to get us out of here alive, and get back what is rightly fully my families: The Throne. <<less

...What? You want me to go on an adventure or something? Build a harem? Become an ashen specter? None of those activities are economically productive! Well, technically, if you kill a dragon and sell its materials, that makes you a "producer" and— But I digress! The point is, there's no way to enjoy a fantasy life if the nobles hog all the resources and technology is at the point where "flush" and "toilet" would never end up in the same sentence.

Suck it Rockefeller, Lipton, Rothschild, and Krupp: you’ll never get the chance to industrialize a fantasy world! Glory to Adam Smith!

—Author’s Note:

As a voracious reader of the fantasy genre, I’ve found a sort of unfilled niche for economic matters. No, not microeconomics like Spice and Wolf. Macroeconomics. Banking and government policies and the like. Most of the time you just see the paperwork, but never the details. Perhaps they aren’t touched upon for a reason, but I guess we’ll see.

Also, this story’s progression is rather slow with long-ish chapters, so it’ll read like a slice of life fantasy story a good bit of the way and will probably extend to during when the economics hit too, or so’s the plan. Oh, and this is my first novel so… please treat me nicely!

A change in destiny.

This the first bit of creative writing I did since high school, some 20 years ago.
It's a near-future dystopian story, with definite cyberpunk themes.

In the main city of the desolate former United Kingdom we find Violet, a mechanic who bears scars of the accident that took her Lover from her, along with her ear. Not really coping with the loss she'd become a shadow of her former self, even loosing the feline nature that came with her being OtherKin.
Now years later one of her closest friends has made a breakthrough in body modification that'd help Violet be who she should have been.

But with all new breakthroughs come some unexpected outcomes...

The story ended happily ever after.... more>>

The hero slew the Demon King. The main cast graduated from the Royal Academy, and the heroine had the wedding of her dreams with the beautiful golden-haired warrior prince. The kingdom was saved and the protagonist's newlywed life was filled with bountiful blessings.

At least, that was the ending written in the epilogue of a certain popular otome game.

What if you transmigrated into a video game after the conclusion and discovered that the protagonist's adult life wasn't so shiny, rosy, and clear-eyed? Happiness is short-lived, and many marriages are plagued with conflict and drama. No happy ending can last forever.

Darkness creeps insidiously between the cracks, and the hero has been corrupted by a mysterious evil power that has poisoned his mind since the day he killed the Demon King. While the heroine struggles with her husband’s increasingly sick nighttime perversions, she struggles to find a solution to break his curse.

She has no idea how badly her world is about to fall apart.
