A Guide for Heroes (Who’d Rather Not Be)

Erdan Kernt was just your average, lazy, overthinking, (slightly) dirty-minded guy trying to enjoy his favorite isekai anime in peace. Next thing he knows, he’s standing in a glowing magic circle, surrounded by robed weirdos calling him “Hero” and begging him to save their world. But Erdan isn’t your typical isekai protagonist. He doesn’t want a harem, doesn’t want overpowered abilities, and definitely doesn’t want to leave his bed (unless food’s involved). What he does get is a sharp-eyed servant with a broken past, a cute puppy, and a pile of expectations from people he barely trusts. Now, between mysterious cults, shady allies, and a kingdom that sees him more as a tool than a savior, Erdan has to figure out whether surviving this world means becoming the “hero” they want, or just stubbornly being himself. Welcome to another world where nothing goes the way it’s supposed to. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note: I'll be publishing a chapter each Wednesday. Sometimes it might be delayed because of school or, you know, life stuff, so just a heads up. There will also be the occasional chapter in third person, so it won't only be in the perspective of our protag. I’ll probably go back and mess with earlier chapters now and then, fixing typos, making things sound less dumb, or just changing stuff if someone points out something weird. The story itself won’t change, but how I write it might. Basically, even after I post a chapter, I kinda see it as “Work In Progress” until the whole book is finished. Anyway, feedback, comments, reviews, whatever—you’re awesome if you leave any of that. This is my first real shot at a webnovel (without fully AI generated slop), so I’m just winging it and hoping to get better as I go. Thanks for reading! NanPan

Sold By Husband, Stolen By His Mafia Enemy

Isabella was never going to be Cristian’s wife, she was just a placeholder. Being married to a man who loved her step-sister, Isabella learned to be a presence without being noticed. She cooked for his meals, bore his last name, and bit her tongue as Cristian pursued Veronica's lies and fragile tears. Isabella decided to get a Divorce but she never got back home. Kidnapped by Giovanni—the most feared billionaire mafia lord and Cristian’s arch-enemy—Isabella is now no more than a pawn in the twisted game that is about to unfold. A secret file and the choice between two women are the only demands he makes of Cristian. There is only one choice to be made between Veronica or Isabella. Giovanni was supposed to use her, not want her. But her defiance, her shattered pride, her strength whispering in her eyes crawl under his skin. He holds her, first as a means to an end, and then as an obsession. As enemies begin to close in and secrets spill over, Giovanni's want turns cold. But when Cristian finally regretted losing her, he saw the truth too late. Since the woman he abandoned is now under the devil, a non-sharer. ----- “Listen carefully Valasco,” Giovanni said, pacing leisurely. “ I’ll give u two options. 1: You will give me that file and I’ll give u ur girls .” “ 2: You will choose one woman for me to release, and the other one will be the price of that file.” Giovanni repeated. “I save one. You come for the other later… if she survives.” I shut my eyes tight. Plz, for god’s sake pick me “Choose wisely, husband! Your girl or ur wife” I said nothing. I had no strength to beg, no longer. Cristian swore on the line. “Giovanni, you insane bastard—!” “Choose,” Giovanni snapped. The longest second of my life. I already knew… I already knew who he’d pick. And still I waited-once more pathetically hopeful. “Fine,” Cristian finally said, his voice shaking. “I choose—” -------------- Who’ll be the one Cristian choose? Who’ll be punished? Who’ll be crowned? Who’ll bring that file’s secret out?

One Piece: The Living Devil

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding! Defeat System at your service!] "Defeat System? What's the function?", Hearing the pleasant system prompt, Rosse felt even better. ══════════════ [Host: Rosse] [Strength: 63/100 (G+; even Marines are stronger than you)] [Overall Rating: A (All you’ve got going for you is status)] [Abilities: None] [Skills: None] [Note: Defeating enemies grants you rewards equal to the enemy’s overall rating -1.
