He died just like that.... more>>

There was no truck.

There was no car accident.

No deadly disease.

Lee Fei reincarnated and transmigrated to the world of the book he had read days before he died.
Unfortunately, a BL Dark Book.
The worst he reincarnated as an insignificant side character!

Lee Fei became Emery Darcy, who is the third child of a very powerful duke. Your life should be full of wealth and happiness, right?
Unfortunately, Emery Darcy followed the path of an exorcist! Yes, Lee Fei is an Exorcist Bishop!
To make the irony of his situation worse, this side character had a worse fate than the villain.

What an injustice!

So what if he has divine powers and mana from nature?

He just wants a rich and peaceful life!

Ehhhh? Is the MC making a honey trap for me?

Is ML no longer a possessive demon, but a tsundere that is following me?

Is the fallen archangel a shameless voyeur who spies on me even in the bath?

A guardian knight who thinks I'm the reincarnation of the god of nature?

Stay away from me, I just want a peaceful life!

Does apocalypse come far?
No matter, I'm rich enough to protect myself!

Let's have a happy and rich life as a good nobleman should be!

One early spring day, Alum and his classmates fell victim to a spatial quake—descending to Lethren—the strongest line of defense. The students gained magical abilities—not to be heroes, but just because it was expected. Even with the supernatural, Alum seemed aloof but more mellow—his world hadn’t changed, but the same couldn’t be said for those around him. However… that changed—he fell in love with a Saint at first sight.

Saint Amethely, despite being new to the role, is loved by everyone. She is sweet, caring, and elegant but has to carry the grand legacy of her Grandmother, the previous Saint. Despite that, she was still a shy girl, slightly clumsy, with no romance experience. But only a few knew of her awkward side.

So how could he make an elegant Imperial Saint fall for him…? He, who in this world was but a nobody? There were a few options—become recognizable. Except… the shy girl Amethely had already fallen in love at first sight—Alum being the culprit. An aloof youth whose world changed and an elegant Imperial Saint, how would their love blossom?

But… change was never easy for someone like him. Whichever world—his was never kind. Even in this beautiful and vibrant world—incredible magic beasts and abominations were cruel and unyielding.

"The King is offering 10,000 gold doubloons for anyone who can cure the Princess, you say?"

Sammy was just another struggling college student when she got transported to another realm and transformed into the wholly (holy?) different form of a goddess. Now she has to acquire followers to appease the ever helpful System.

The worst part was that her powers had something stupid to do with mirrors. Go figure.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Progression fantasy god game from the seat of power — care to take over (er, save) the world, one follower at a time? Extremely (multi) class-based LitRPG system inspired by alternate TTRPGs as well as good ole DnD. GURPS as well. Does not ignore human/deific/fae nature as having sexuality, but there is no smut nor is the focus there. Definitely is there for amusement!

Romantic subplot included — slow-burn from the beginning (you won't even know who) with doubt and anxieties to tackle, but has inevitable resolution.

- Third-person POV
- Leveraging unusual abilities/ creative problem-solving
- Geeky, sassy, snarky, but lovable MC
- Pop-culture references
- Potty-mouthed

He was a typical loser who always played dungeon games, read web novels, and did nothing in his life. He didn't have a single friend, wishing all day to reincarnate into a dungeon game, and one day his wish came true.... more>>

He reincarnated into the dungeon game, but the character he reincarnated was a weak mob villain who died in every possible route.

Now he had to survive this world.

----

This story's primary focus is the protagonist's adventures with different types of characters in dungeons and defeating boss monster and some harmless fun with woman.

I'm going a write smut chapters but veryyy late in novel, so be patient about that, but before that there are going to many nudity scene and touching woman body for massage purpose as our MC also in his way to be best masseurs.

Also, I like writing a slice-of-life story, so there might be some chapters where the protagonist and others go around the city, to the mall, or do some mundane things. So expect a slow pace story.

Enjoy the story.
