The Culinary Heiress: My Necklace Connects to the Modern World

Megrie is one of the world’s top chefs in the modern age. A successful entrepreneur with a chain of restaurants, she is a woman who controls both her career and her life. Then one day, without warning— she is transported to another world. A world where fatness is considered beauty. There, she bears the same name: Megrie. But the life she inherits could not be more different. Once the beloved daughter of a city lord, this Megrie lost everything after her father died of a mysterious illness. Her stepmother and step-siblings seized her status, stripped her of dignity, and reduced her to a servant. She was denied proper food, worked relentlessly, and slowly starved. The pampered noble girl died of hunger. And so— the modern chef Megrie awakens in a dead girl’s body. Hunger becomes her first battle in this new world. To survive, she sneaks out of the castle and breaks into a house in town, desperate for a kitchen where she can cook a single bowl of hot noodle soup. She is discovered by the three men who live there. Between being turned in and staying alive, a deal is struck— she will cook their dinners, and they will keep her secret. She believes this is the beginning. She is wrong. The silver necklace she wears holds an impossible power— it allows her to access her modern-world kitchen. Ovens. Mixers. Fermentation chambers. Using techniques unknown to this world, she conquers its palate and unsettles its people. Potatoes, flour, soup, bread— ordinary ingredients, transformed into dishes that quietly change destinies. But just as she begins to carve out a new path for herself, the shadows close in. Her stepmother’s long-hidden schemes surface. The truth behind the city lord’s death grows more sinister. And the emotions entwining those around her are no longer simple acts of protection or exchange. This is not merely a story about food in another world. It is the story of a grown woman— armed with experience, resolve, and choice— who navigates腐ted power and tangled emotions, and slowly, deliberately, reclaims ownership of her life.

Blue Archive: Scarring Kivotos Emotionally

Credit of the book's cover is @bm_tol, Absolute goated artist; all their works are absolutely pleasing to the eyes. Credit to second cover towards 'Rco As' (found in danbooru). --- Inside Kivotos, thousands of schools exist, each with its own unique themes. Inside these schools, there are factions that are otherwise referred to as ‘Clubs’. Inside these clubs exist important ‘Characters’, each having their very own personalities and struggles… Gehenna Prefect Team, Abydos Foreclosure Task Force, Tea Party, Pandemonium Society, and many others that are more obscure than the last. Atsuko, the Hime of Arius District, would no longer speak using her voice after the person who had once loved her voice the most left this world. (Sign Language) ‘It was our mistake, Sat-chan. There’s no need for you to blame yourself for everything. We also take responsibility for the things that have happened in the past.’ Hoshino, the sole member of Abydos Student Council, would listlessly go through her high school life after the death of her senior. “Uehe~? Where’d you find that glove, Shiroko? I thought she burnt it herself…” Hina, the Chairman of Gehenna’s Prefect Team, never put down her pen in fear of falling asleep, reminding herself of memories. “I am not a workaholic. If there’s nothing to do, I would inevitably reminisce about the past. I fear the thoughts of living those nightmares again.” Nagisa, a member of the Tea Party, Leader of the Fillius Faction, became paranoid of dangers after the betrayal of her previous faction, causing the death of her friend. “It’s not that I think you’re wrong, Sensei. But I’ve already experienced what would happen if these kinds of precautions aren't taken. It’s better to regret after failing to fight for something than regret losing it pointlessly.” Many other students across Kivotos have experienced it themselves, yet none had ever prevented them. Meanwhile… “Ahahaha! I knew it! High school students are so easy to manipulate!” As it turns out, all she needed to do was orchestrate some scenarios, speak of a few one-liners, and then boom! Points come rushing back into her System! “I’m sorry, students! But you’re all my source of power now! Muahahaha!” There was almost no guilt present inside her heart as she mercilessly cut off a connection built upon love with the others. And the cause of it was... the Theatrical System! Using points, she could upgrade her specs! Using points, she could increase her knowledge! All in this world requires points! For that… -Don’t blame her for trying to extract the maximum amount of points from each of you! — Inspired by Vixen's Gambit Alternative Titles that I had in mind: 'Inside Kivotos, Traumatizing the Students!' 'Blue Archive: Students are Prone to Manipulation' 'Monetizing My Deaths in Kivotos' 'Blue Archive: Orchestrated Tragedy' 'Blue Archive: I Turned it into Red Archive?' For one reason or another, I scrapped those names. Some due to the fact that I don't like the name or it doesn't sound appealing enough.

Exiled to a Foreign Land: Managing a Destitute Estate

Philip never expected his new life to be so… complicated. When a tragic accident in the modern metropolis of Bortinto abruptly ends his struggle for survival, he wakes up as the scandal-ridden heir of a ducal house in a world where magic and science coexist. Any fantasies of an easy, heroic life vanish the moment he realizes that the estate that he is tasked with managing is drowning in debt, and his reputation has been shredded by rumors involving his predecessor’s broken engagement to the socialite Lady Rosetta—the granddaughter of a prince. Even as he scrambles to rebuild his estate’s fortunes—grappling with contaminated land, mounting debts, and shrewed industrialists—he unearths troubling secrets about the original Philip’s heartbreak and suicide. A dark, hidden force seems intent on wiping him out for an unknown reason. As conspiracies emerge linking Lady Rosetta’s departure to these shadowy machinations, Philip struggles to separate ally from adversary, not knowing why this power in high places is so bent on destroying him. Meanwhile, the realm teeters on the brink of monumental change. Technological and social revolutions collide with century-old magical traditions, and war drums thunder on the distant borders. Armed with his modern knowledge of finance—now fused with the world’s burgeoning industrial innovations—Philip attempts to ride the trends and transform his estate into a beacon of prosperity and secure his heirship to the ducal title. Yet each small triumph only attracts more enemies. Tasked by the System with cultivating a supernatural entity while uncovering the real reason behind Lady Rosetta’s canceled engagement and the original Philip’s tragic end, he must also shield those he grows to care about from the looming threats. Will he harness the synergy of magic, technology, and commerce to steer his estate toward greatness, or will malevolent forces quash his second chance at life? Will his second chance at life end the same tragic way as his first?

Unclassifiable Mage: The Failed Heir’s Rivalry

Serenya Arclight was born into greatness — but was branded as a failure. As the youngest daughter of one of the Four Great Archmage families, she was expected to inherit a legendary command of elemental sorcery. Instead, her spells fizzled, backfired, or broke apart, earning her the title of the failed heir. In the academy’s history books, her role was already written, to become a laughingstock, a cautionary tale, and a shadow to be compared against her gifted sister. But when an ordinary woman from another world awakens in Serenya’s body, the story begins to unravel. At Arclight Academy of Sorcery, Serenya discovers she can wield a strange, “unclassifiable” magic that doesn’t bend to fire, water, wind, or earth. Instead, her spells warp the rules of magic itself — silencing flames, rewriting duels, and threatening to upend the very system that the noble families have ruled for centuries. Her greatest rival is Celestia Dawncrest, the radiant prodigy of the Dawncrest family, one of the best archmage families. Perfect, brilliant, and beloved, Celestia embodies everything Serenya is not. As whispers spread through the academy — of curses, forbidden powers, and a “failure” who refuses to fail — Serenya must fight to carve her own place in a world that has already cast her aside. Rivalries will deepen, alliances will form, and secrets buried in the void between elements will rise again. For her, this is no longer the story of a failed heir. It is the tale of the girl who dared to shatter magic itself. Expectations: Female MC but with Shonen Elements
