The Billionaire's Mistress: Love of a surrogate

Kieran Kensington never expected his senior year to unravel like this—quiet mornings, familiar faces, predictable days… until Jean Harrington stopped talking to him. She used to be the one person who got him without trying, who shared silence like it was sacred. But now she’s distant. Guarded. And somehow, she knows something that he doesn’t. Something that could change everything. When an unexpected altercation at school sends ripples through their friend group and rumors start to swirl, Kieran is forced to confront the messy truth behind what Jean’s been hiding—and what he’s been too scared to see. In the labyrinth of high school corridors, whispered secrets, and half-heard truths, She Knew Before I Did is a hauntingly intimate look at trust, timing, and the unspoken things that bind us together—or tear us apart. For fans of slow-burn mystery, emotionally layered characters, and the bittersweet ache of growing up.

Dane Harper's life was a monotonous grind. Stuck in a soul-sucking 9-to-9 job with barely any time to breathe, his only escape was the world of visual novels. From anime to manga, light novels to webnovels, Dane had consumed it all, but nothing compared to his ultimate obsession: Harem, Dragons, and Deities (HDXD). This legendary visual novel was a masterpiece of high fantasy, packed with detailed lore, jaw-dropping twists, and, of course, an insane harem of monster girls and powerful women. Dane had spent nearly 7,000 hours playing it, chasing every ending possible, especially the legendary [Overlord of Humanity Ending], where the protagonist builds a massive harem and spreads his superior genes across the HDXD universe. But when a cosmic accident caused by a mischievous witch-in-training, Beatrice, wipes out the entire human universe, Dane's life takes an unexpected turn.

Without hesitation, Dane chooses the world of HDXD, a place he knows inside and out, and a unique ability to help him survive: the Omni Harem System. This system not only helps him level up and gain unique powers but also guides him in building the ultimate harem.

But this isn't just a game anymore; it's real life, and the stakes are higher than ever. From battling dragons and deities to navigating the complex personalities of the women around him, Dane must use his knowledge of HDXD and his new powers to carve out his destiny without getting curve stomp by the overpowered people around him. But let's be real, becoming the Overlord of Humanity isn’t going to be a walk in the park. This is HDXD we’re talking about; a world where one wrong move can lead to a bad ending so messed up it'll haunt your dreams. As such, every step towards that ending requires heart, commitment, and sheer will, and you best believe Dane is aiming for that ending at all costs.

After staying up late one too many times, Asakawa Naoki died unexpectedly of liver failure—only to awaken in the world of Naruto. But there was a problem: he couldn’t refine chakra. Without it, becoming a ninja was impossible. Or so he thought. While Naoki couldn’t use chakra or perform even the most basic jutsu, he discovered something even rarer—he could cultivate immortal arts. If being a ninja was out of reach, then he would walk a different path altogether. Starting with the chakra refining scroll left behind by his parents, Naoki learned the basics of Qi training. Watching others practice ninjutsu, he discovered his own way forward: from learning “three-point fire” by observing Fire Release, to crafting bean soldiers from Clone Technique lessons, to mastering movement arts by adapting the Body Flicker. Scroll by scroll, lesson by lesson, he built a style uniquely his own—one rooted in nature, not chakra. Years later, as the Hokage known as the Perfect Sage, Asakawa Naoki faced the revived Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and the celestial clan behind her. Looking down at them, he said calmly: “Aliens? So what? They follow the laws of nature, just like I do— and I shine just as bright as the sun and moon.” Cover not mine* ******* 火影：不能学忍术？我直接修仙！ ******* I translate Chinese fanfictions from qidian AO3, JJWXC, LOFTER you can find the originals at the following websites if you want to if you want to read more there’s 15, 30, 50 chapters there of my written fanfictions and translated works in my Pat.Reon.
