Bound by the shadow crown

The words escape the pages of a popular webnovel, and the peaceful everyday has been corrupted in calamity. In simpler words, there's a damn apocalypse occurring. And in a particular building, overlooking the chaotic streets, two idiots flirt. "Do you want to rebel against your destiny?" the voice is firm and confident in its careless allure, promising a deal among the rubbles of this disaster. The man's lips curves dangerously, and he tilts his chin. "Then I'm in your hands, Joker." *** One sentence summary: In which an apocalypse has begun, and a certain delinquent 'accidentally' seduces his boss. Even shorter summary: deadly insulting machine MC x face looks good to punch (lovingly) ML

Kazuki Tanaka, a typical young adult living in modern-day Japan, leads a mundane life working a part-time job and immersing himself in his hobbies. Little does he know that his life is about to take a dramatic turn when he steps into his apartment after a long day. Complaining about the monotony of his job, Kazuki picks up his bag, which contains his laptop and other groceries. As he opens the door to his apartment and flicks on the lights, he briefly closes his eyes, expecting the familiar sight of his living room. But when Kazuki opens his eyes, he is no longer in his small apartment. Instead, he finds himself standing in a vast space bathed in daylight, with a grand mansion looming before him.

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

Never would I’ve thought that a simple water ball would awaken those feelings inside of me, as the day passed, memories falling to pieces together to awaken an ability that brings me trauma and dread towards the future. As the day passed, more knowledge and different future that lies ahead of me appeared and scare me. I tried to bear through the world, and see what kind of struggle I can make before stopping at the juncture where I can make a change. In this godforsaken world… I wonder, what change can I make? tldr: Claude was just a brat—a village troublemaker with a sharp tongue and a sharper mind—until a prank gone wrong awakened something terrifying and impossible. Memories. Not from another life, but from many. Futures that never happened. Timelines that fractured. Pain that felt too real to be fiction. Now, armed with fragments of knowledge from alternate realities, Claude knows one thing: the peaceful village of Buena is not safe. A disaster is coming—the Mana Calamity—and no one is prepared. So Claude trains. Under Paul Greyrat's sword. Alongside Rudeus' magic. With grit, secrets, and a plan no one can know.
