#VillainDad #CuteProtagonist #Ghosts #Misunderstanding #Transmigration #SmartMC Mira realized two things the moment she woke up in the body of a nameless orphan in a fantasy novel: 1. She is a disposable "shrimp" destined to die in the crossfire of the main characters. 2. She is the only person in this world who can see the screaming, terrifying ghosts that haunt every corner of the empire. Tortured by the wails of the dead, Mira finds only one source of silence: Duke Kaelus von Nacht. Known as the "Dark Lord" and the "Emperor's Sword," Kaelus is a man so ruthless and soaked in bloodlust that even the ghosts are terrified to go near him. To the world, he is a monster. But to Mira, he is a walking, talking pair of noise-canceling headphones. Desperate for a good night's sleep, Mira clings to him, acting like a naive, affectionate child to secure her place by his side. She succeeds, but she miscalculated. Kaelus didn't adopt her out of kindness. He needed a disposable child to act as 'live bait' for the assassins targeting him. Now named Seraphina, she must navigate a deadly game of survival. She thinks she is using him as a ghost shield. He thinks she is a fearless prodigy who loves him. As Seraphina munches on poison berries and naps through ambushes to avoid seeing spirits, the cold-blooded Duke starts to ask the wrong questions. "Why does she only sleep when I am holding her?" "Why does she stare into space with such disdain?" "Is it possible... that I am a good father?" Spoiler: He is not. But he’s about to destroy an entire kingdom because someone woke her up. --- ### Excerpt "Your Highness, the Archduke," the aide whispered, trembling hard to cover his laughter from bursting out. "The child... she is clinging to your leg again." Kaelus looked down. The tiny creature known as Seraphina was attached to his calf like a barnacle, drooling on his pristine military trousers. "She is fearless," Kaelus murmured, misinterpreting her desperate need for his ghost-repelling aura as familial affection. "The assassins are approaching, yet she seeks comfort only in the eye of the storm. She is the perfect bait." Seraphina, currently trying to avoid eye contact with a headless ghost hovering three feet away, squeezed her eyes shut. 'Just don't move. If I let go, the headless guy will ask me where his nose is again.' "Sir," the aide hesitated. "She's... eating your cloak." "Let her eat," Kaelus commanded, drawing his sword. "Whatever she wants, she gets. Except for freedom."

‎"I don't need a happy ending. I'll take the world instead." ‎ ‎The world was built upon stories. Heroes. Prophecies. Destined endings. ‎ ‎Then Null appeared. ‎ ‎Summoned alongside a legendary hero, he was marked as a mistake — unblessed, unwanted, ignored. ‎ ‎But Null does not need the world's blessing. ‎ ‎He has Fantasy Omniscience — the ability to read existence itself as a novel. Every past. Every present. Every future the world has already decided. ‎ ‎Yet there is a paradox. ‎ ‎Fantasy Omniscience cannot observe its own user. ‎ ‎Null exists as a blind spot. A being excluded from causality. An anomaly the world cannot define, and divine cannot foresee. ‎ ‎Now, trapped in a world that wants to use him, discard him, or make him its final enemy, Null must decide: ‎ ‎Will he play the role assigned to him? ‎ ‎Or will he become something the story cannot contain? ‎ ‎The Final Antagonist refuses to be final. ‎. - Basically: The Dark Fantasy of an enigmatic antagonist who shall ascend as the ultimate challenge for the 'world'. - What to expect: · Dark fantasy / cosmic horror · Anti-hero protagonist (morally ambiguous, emotionally complex) · Slow-burn romance (multiple love interests with an ultimate single female lead. hehe, a unique mystery exclusive to my story) · Isekai summoning subverted · Philosophical worldbuilding with actual stakes_ .

Fate sets everything into motion. Dream drives that motion into action. And action causes death. This endless cycle is inevitable. Despair. Madness. Delusion. Sins. Ideals. What awaits someone broken again and again by this cycle? Beyond the unending path, does happiness exist? But to what end? The story of why he chose to walk this never-ending path.

Unlike Ivory’s pure blooded gamma family, she was different since birth, from her eyes lacking irises to her hair being multicolored, to lacking a wolf, she’s been labeled an outcast her entire life. Miraculously, she found her mate in the pack’s alpha prince, who accepted her and kissed the ground she walked on. However, she never expected that he’d select her twin sister as his mate and future Luna at the crystal ball. Worst, she was accused of a crime she didn’t commit and locked up unfairly. Like she was yet to suffer enough, her cruel mate decided to give her to Alpha king Auden, in exchange for a deal. Alpha king Auden of the north wasn’t an ordinary alpha, popularly known as the soul eater, every wolf quaked at the mention of his name, and past maidens who’ve been given to him in exchange for deals are all rumored dead, making Ivory believe her life was doomed at this point. But little did she know that the monster she believed would be the end of her life, might just be the one who was destined for her. ~~ • ~~ Auden’s life couldn’t be more different from what it’s perceived. After losing the little he once cared about, he’s been emotionless ever since. Stuck with a curse he knows nothing about, he’s supposed to find his fated mate before said curse could be broken. But after losing hope of never finding her, he’s long since accepted his fate to succumb to the curse, but before that, he’ll carry out one last goal: avenge his losses. Ivory was only a means to an end, a chess in his cheese-board for him to control and later dispose of. But when his goals start blurring with raw passion he never saw coming, when he couldn’t differentiate between hatred and desire any longer, when he couldn't bear the mere thought of losing her to all the forces suddenly wanting her dead after she awakened powers none has ever seen before… he finds himself stuck in a tricky loop. To claim her or to let her drown?

Tags: R18+ | YAOI | BL | MATURE | DARK | HAREM | PSYCHOLOGICAL | DRAMA | SMUT After dying in a traffic accident, Choi Yeonho wakes up inside a webnovel as its doomed villain brother — the same villain mocked and hated by readers before dying miserably at the hands of the five male leads. Exiled overseas with a ruined reputation, broken finances, and fragments of memories that do not belong to him, Yeonho quickly realizes the original story was never as simple as it seemed. The more he uncovers about the original Choi Yeonho’s past, the more suspicious the heroine, Choi Hana, becomes. Instead of following the novel’s original plot, Yeonho decides to destroy it completely. Using his knowledge of future events, he begins interfering with the heroine’s story and slowly pulls the five male leads toward himself instead. However, as relationships change and hidden truths begin surfacing, Yeonho finds himself dragged into dangerous power struggles, family conspiracies, obsession, and revenge far deeper than the original novel ever revealed. In a story where the villain was never meant to survive, Choi Yeonho plans to steal everything that was originally taken from him — including the male leads themselves. But the deeper Yeonho digs into the truth, the more shocking revelations begin to surface, slowly exposing secrets capable of destroying everyone involved.

In the Kingdom of Fiore, magic is everything. After a mysterious tragedy leaves him with nothing, five-year-old Albion Ebonveil finds himself dragged into the infamous Phantom Lord Guild—a place where strength determines your worth and weakness is met with cruelty.

Along the way, he forges unlikely bonds with those around him, uncovering the truth behind his mysterious Innate Magic, the secrets of the Ebonveil Clan, and the darkness hidden within himself. This is not a tale of an overpowered hero. It is the story of a broken child struggling to find his place in one of Fiore's darkest guilds—where every battle, every friendship, and every choice shapes the person he will one day become.

Every "Diver" gets 96 hours on Earth before the Black Thirst disease drags them back... Back to Thirstfall—a brutal otherworld where a ruthless system called Ocean's Law decides who lives, who dies, and who gets erased. Most Divers break within a year. Dryden Sands lasted ten. He clawed from nothing to Rank-A with a class everyone called trash. He mapped hidden dungeons, cracked the system's blind spots, and survived things that shouldn't be survivable. Then the person he trusted most killed his family and took everything. Including his life. But dying triggered something—a relic fused to his soul that no one was supposed to find. It didn't save him. It reset him. Same world. Same body. Directly to Day one, when everything started. He knows where every secret is buried. Every trap. Every traitor. But his body is Rank-F, his new class is rated SSS, his time is bleeding out, and the system has already flagged him as something that shouldn't exist. In Thirstfall, the ocean doesn't just drown the weak. It hunts who shouldn't belong anymore. -------------- #No harem. #No romance plot armor. #Mostly survival.

Three years of marriage for Seren was a long period of servitude. As a wife who was considered defective and fragile, she was nothing more than a pawn forced to submit to her mother-in-law's ambitions.

Seren was forced to become a servant in her own home. “Starting today, Haelyn will live here. You must take care of all her needs until the baby is born!” Mark ordered.
