After the sudden death of his parents, Kenji—rightful heir to a powerful empire—is deemed too young to rule.

Warning : 18+ reader only. ( This story contains explicit sexual content, taboo relationships, and sensual themes. ) Summary : Nakagawa Haruki thought marriage would bring him happiness. He’d been in love with Satomi since high school, and after years of struggling together, they finally built a stable life. But stability came at a cost. Satomi was always busy. Work became her priority, and Haruki... was left behind. The warmth between them faded, and intimacy became a distant memory. Nights felt colder, the bed emptier—even when she lay right beside him. Loneliness gnawed at him. Then everything shifted when Satomi decided they should move to her parents’ home. That’s when he truly saw her mother for the first time. Kyouko. Beautiful. Elegant. Younger-looking than her own daughter. And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something stir inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls collide. As Haruki wrestles with his emotions, one question haunts him: What happens when the one who understands you most... is the one you should never desire?

A crazy comedy story where the older brother suddenly turns into a cute little girl, the editor turns into a hardworking tentacle monster, and the author keeps shouting that they can still write one hundred thousand words a day. It’s a lighthearted, silly novel full of jokes, chaos, and fun.

Reincarnated as Javier De Armand as the youngest son of one of the Human Kingdom’s most powerful noble families, former salaryman Nakamura Junichi enters a world ruled by ancient bloodlines, divine relics, and collapsing empires. Born into the formidable Armand family, Javier hides his true intellect and combat genius behind a lazy smile and a laid-back demeanor. While the world sees him as a useless noble son, he quietly builds a legacy of innovation, loyalty, and power. From the daily chaos of being punched, dragged and chased by a beautiful elf maid for his antics, to crafting advanced mana relay towers and puppet knight army, Javier’s influence grows quietly but relentlessly. He walks a delicate line between playful freedom and deadly responsibility. Guiding allies, managing internal politics, and countering threats from scheming nobles, monstrous armies, and even forces beyond understanding. Javier’s silent work becomes the key to Armand’s survival. But the battlefield isn’t just war. It’s love, loyalty, and trust. Whether fending off persistent princesses, outsmarting corrupt nobles, or navigating his own rising harem of jealous and powerful maids, Javier must balance duty with desire, always one step ahead, always watching, never showing his full hand. In a world where kingdoms teeter on the edge of madness, one noble son dares to laugh, love, and lead, on his own terms.

A fantasy with elements of psychological drama and political intrigue. It follows Roy Shyam, a cynical yet compassionate 17-year-old cursed with endless transmigration, bound to a yandere witch whose obsession ensures he can never escape. Rather than returning to the same timeline, Roy is hurled into new worlds, entering the life of each universe’s Roy while facing subtle or drastic changes in his environment. The curse breaks down his identity and prevents him from speaking of it without summoning the witch, causing him to go back in time to the moment before he mentions her. We are then introduced to another version of Roy before our Roy has taken over his body; he emerges in a society where countries, schools and institutions thrive through the use of prana, a force that connects life, will and reality itself. Here this Roy forms Nova in Veil (a shadowy sanctuary for the broken) and draws the attention of the Celestial Watch, protectors of the land hiding a dangerous secret. The plot moves from intimate suffering to rebellion and public spectacle, culminating in choices about memory, fate, and what it means to live.

Set in the Shadow Slave world...a time before Sunny was born...this story follows a simple soldier who must survive in a dystopian, apocalyptic landscape where magic and gun warfare collide. In a far-off Quadrant known as North America, a young soldier named Hope is 16 years old when he gets infected by the Nightmare Spell. He passed! But...he feels a bit scammed...? A flaw that makes him fade from people's memories... A cursed attribute that makes him remember everything endlessly in eternal wakefulness... It's as if the Spell is twisting his future and existence into an almost improbable one. All he has ever known his purpose to be was to serve as a simple soldier. Not too powerful. But not so weak either. And maybe, just maybe like some others, become an Awakened. Although he never dreamt of being one. Now that his whole life is compromised after his First Nightmare, his first objective is to survive on his own. But as he tries to escape his fate, his actions seem to lead him further from his goal. He struggles against obstacles that slowly grow bigger and out of proportion. Maybe the Dream Realm and the Real World aren't so different than one may think. Hope's journey involves uncovering secrets and gaining knowledge about his true nature and his new role in the world. Is he fit to be a hero? Could he redefine it? *** Please read the READER DISCLAIMER in Volume 0. This is my spin-off novel of "Shadow Slave" by Guiltythree. But please don't expect the same writing style, setting, and characters, especially the main character. This story reveals more about how people/cities/governments operate after the Spell’s arrival. I always find it interesting how maybe one country handles it fairly, but how others handle it with desperation to the point that you question humanity. There will be easter eggs pointing to the original novel either intentional for the plot or unrelated to it, but all for fun. I am a new author so props to all who bear with me and helps me improve my writing. If it is not for you, please don't leave outright hate comments. Eat wassabi instead if you want pain. Critique and advice would be great too. Cover Art: @ellieaedon I will be posting on RoyalRoad.com and on AO3 for some people's preferences.

“This is the fully revised and improved version of my series. This version Will be The official version with cannon events" Haru Morisaki enters his second year of high school hoping for a normal life. But “normal” ends the moment he pulls a crying girl away from the rooftop edge. Her name is Mina. Red eyes, trembling voice, a smile too soft to be safe. She falls for him instantly. Too fast. Too deeply. And Haru, broken in ways he never understood, doesn’t notice the danger until it’s already too late. While a warm, awkward bond starts growing between him and Kurozawa—the tough café girl with a secret softness—Mina’s world begins to twist. Her smiles hide fear. Her love hides knives. And every time Haru pulls away… she breaks a little more. Now Haru must choose: face the darkness chasing him… or fall into the arms of the girl who would die for him—and kill for him. A story of obsession, trauma, and the fragile hope of finding someone who sees you.
