Heart’s Secret

In the beautiful city of Eldrida, Angelina "Lina" Johnson finds her passion as a gifted perfumery scout and marketer for the prestigious Aurum Scents. Under the mentorship of its powerful yet principled CEO, Carter Hayes, she believes she has found her perfect place. But Lina's life turns upside down when she draws the gaze of a far more dangerous titan. Daniel Viggo, the ruthless CEO of Vega Corporation and shadow chairman of the monolithic Blackwood Enterprises, is a man forged in trauma. Three years after his mother was murdered by a woman with an angelic face, he has hardened into a predator who despises all who remind him of her. In Lina, he sees the living, breathing replica of his ghost. Consumed by obsession, he is determined to make her suffer through professional sabotage, psychological warfare, and personal violation—punishing her simply for existing. Carter Hayes, Lina's boss and protector, quickly realizes his brightest talent has been targeted by a man whose power dwarfs his own. Though CEO of Aurum, Carter is outmatched by Viggo's vast empire. He vows to shield Lina, but his ability to help has limits, and every move to protect her risks his own company. Caught in this high-stakes crossfire, Lina's turmoil deepens with the return of Lucas, a steadfast love from her high school past. He offers a sanctuary of genuine affection and a chance at a normal life—a stark contrast to the gilded cage of fear she now inhabits. Now, Lina is trapped in the middle: tormented by an untouchable tyrant who wants to break her, protected by a guardian who might not be strong enough to save her, and tempted by a love that promises an escape she may never reach. To survive, she must uncover the truth behind Daniel's vendetta and find a strength as potent as the rarest perfume—before her career, spirit, and heart are shattered by the man who sees her not as a person, but as a ghost to be destroyed. Heart Secret is a tale of obsession, resilience, and corporate intrigue, where the most precious secrets are those buried within the human heart.

28 Hours Later: I Know My Diary Is Being Read by Heroines

Reincarnated in the anime world and forgot about it. Shiryu recalled the fact that he was reincarnated after his system appeared! However, that's not only good news for him, but also bad news! To prepare himself for the upcoming disaster, he had to write a diary and become stronger with the rewards he got from the system. Still, in the process, the heroines around him multiplied and the protagonists antagonized him. He wondered what went wrong? He was just writing a diary and trying to survive! Just kidding. He knew why it happened but... Ehem, forget what I said here. Saeko: Shiryu-kun, what are you doing? Shiryu: Just talking to myself. Saeko: Instead of doing that, why don't you exercise with me? Shiryu: Exercise? You mean beating up zombies in the morning or... Saeko just smiled, and he just realized that underneath her apron, she wasn't wearing anything. Sorry protagonist Takashi. Wait, why do I have to apologize? In this life, that boy has nothing to do with Saeko. The same goes for the other heroines. As a cultured man, Shiryu won't refuse the good things that come his way! ... By the way, the franchise/anime in this book is not just limited to Highschool of The Dead. There are also several other anime including future movies. And since this is my second book that is still being updated for now, I don't promise to post daily chapters. I won't force myself for the sake of my health. ... But, you can get more chapters and new chapters faster on my Patreon.

SSS Regression: I Claimed the Tutorial as My Territory

The world doesn't end with fire. It ends with a notification. Nate didn't get a heroic ending. He died seven years after the first Gate opened, crushed under a world that turned people into numbers and "useful" into disposable. Then he woke up back on Day One, in an office hallway, with the first Gate tearing open down the hall. This time, he knows the truth. The Tutorial isn't random. It never was. It rewards ownership, not survival. So Nate does the one thing nobody thinks to do in the first hour of the apocalypse. He claims it. A rooftop. A door. A patch of territory the System recognizes as his. The moment he becomes a Tutorial Owner, the building changes. It offers him Authority to enforce rules, and Debt to punish mistakes. Doors can be sealed. Contracts can bind. Lies can be audited. Violence can be taxed. Every choice becomes law, and every law has a price. And the second he takes that power, the real enemies show up. Not the monsters spilling out of Gates. The people who can see the panels too. A smiling man with a fire axe. A terrified coworker who becomes a target. A stranger on the roof whose fear turns into a mouth for something else. The Supervisor that watches for mistakes and punishes "noncompliance." The Collector that slips through cracks and offers "shortcuts" in exchange for memories. In this world, your best weapon isn't a sword. It's a clause. If Nate wants to survive this time, he can't just run from danger. He has to build control out of a living building that wants obedience, and a hungry disorder that wants loopholes. He has to keep his people together when the System tries to separate them. He has to beat deceptive traps designed to turn him into debt. He has to survive sterile zones where mistakes don't bleed, they get locked up, and deals that offer power at the cost of who you are. Because once you claim territory, you don't get to be normal again. You become a signal. And somewhere above the city, something is watching the new Owner who dared to say: "This Tutorial is mine."
