#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 was born in flames. In a world where survival was earned through fists, blood, hunts, and death, childhood was nothing more than a weakness that disappeared with time. I was thirteen when I learned that running could only save you for so long. My feet tore through the dry grass as I ran down the narrow path. Every breath scraped against my throat. My heart hammered against my ribs......

A steam punk fantasy. Previously, it was called Reincarnated as a Supernatural Horror Entity. Jack, a content creator for mystery, horror, and conspiracy stories, died and was reborn as a formless ghost. He acquired the system-panel like ability to get stronger. He could earn new supernatural traits. And he could even evolve and gain new incarnations. The problem was... he was now in an alternate Earth. The one that was still in the Industrial Revolution Era. The one with cursed steam engines, monster-infested sea exploration, mysterious pirates, supernatural powers, mythical creatures, demonic entities, and completely different geography. Jack had to adapt and survive. Thus, the legends of the Circle of Jacks appeared in that world. Transcendent incarnations of Jack made their impacts in this new world... (1) Jack Mystery, the mysterious specter, (2) Judge Jack, the rakshasa of judgement, (3) Jack Night, the human mercenary, (4) Racer Jack, the kamaitachi speedster vigilante, and (5) Jack Lantern, the devil puppet who decided to be a bizarre puppeteer. I will also be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com: https://www.royalroad.com/profile/36721/fictions If you, dear readers, enjoy the story and are willing to support my work, please visit patreon.com/Alkrishna. It should be about 30 chapters ahead there.

In the Gray fog enveloping 1878 London, a young aristocrat awakens in a lavish bedchamber, a phantom ache throbbing in his neck as if an unseen blade had grazed it. He is Elias Montagu, the Duke of Manchester—or so the servants insist, bowing as they prepare him for a pivotal session in the House of Lords. Yet the throne belongs to King George V. Grand cathedrals venerate deities bearing names devoid of meaning—Senaiy, Uire, Siny, Urey, Senry, Ueis—their scriptures clashing in silent contradiction, their idols gazing with empty stone eyes. The moon looms low and blood-red above spires that pierce the sky too sharply, while Big Ben stands unnaturally elongated, its chimes echoing with a hollow dissonance. Beneath the empire's veiled industry, vast mechanisms pulse in silence, unspoken and unseen. Fragments of an impossible past seep into his mind: crumbling structures of a future age, machines fueled by unseen fire, a desperate scrawl reading "Everything ends up being a lie," and the unblinking stare of a colossal crimson eye. As Elias navigates ballrooms filled with hollow smiles and corridors echoing with veiled whispers, the veil of reality thins. Some sights are not meant to be beheld. Some gazes are not meant to be returned. In a realm woven from deception, clarity bears a title whispered only in fear. The Duke of Madness.

EARTH was destroyed but some of the inhabitants were send to a different world, which will be targeted next by the DESTROYER, who destroyed Earth. They were given a game like system and a mission to avenge EARTH. Elena was only a 16-years old girl that time and she was suddenly transported to another world full of betrayal, killing, plunder, debauchery and more. That world was also at the verge of extinction by the DESTROYER. But Elena was able to save the world after going through a lot of unimaginable hardship for seven years and became the World Savior. After fulfilling her mission now she have a chance to either stay in this world as hero, or go to another world to start a new comfortable life as a reward. So, what will she do? How will her journey go from now on? Join Elena who is a kind hearted, overpowered and ruthless girl in her journey to enjoy her life to the fullest after overcoming a lot of harsh trials. ______________ Elena is overpowered FMC and she is not involved in any kind of romance. I hate the idea of my protagonist to be a lovestruck maiden like many novels. She is strong, independent, kind and decisive. This story mainly focuses on the adventure and fantasy aspects more with slice of life and actions mixed in it. This novel is my take on creating a perfect Female Main Charector of my liking and to create a story of a proper hero and savior. ______________ The cover does belong to me, so no prob. discord: https://discord.gg/vAxDUSd266 kofi: ko-fi.com/omniscient_ Have fun reading.

If you have a golden apple, who would you give it to? At the banquet, Lorne, who was invited, saw the golden apple on the plate engraved with the words "To the Fairest," as well as the three goddesses in front of him caught in a dispute. The matter was quite troublesome and anyone would be panicked however, Not him. He smiled, picked up a knife and completed the process in three steps. The first step was to peel the skin, and he gave the peel to Aphrodite. "To be honest, you are indeed quite beautiful. As a layer of skin, it’s still passable." The second step was to cut the flesh, and he gave the flesh to Hera. "You are the queen of heaven, but everyone on Olympus, from eight hundred years old to the beasts, can cuckold you, including men, women, and even goats. Since your dignity is already lost, I’ll give you the substance." The third step was to give the remaining core to Athena. "You were supposed to be born as a male god to inherit Zeus’s throne, but because of Zeus, you lost your seed. So, I’ll give you this seed." And it was done.. Looking at Aphrodite, clenching her fists, Hera, raising her scepter, Athena, summoning her spear and shield, Lorne quickly stepped back, firmly shielding the goddess of discord, Eris, in front of him. "And you still want to be the goddess of discord? Look at me, I made them unite in an instant. Even your provocation isn’t as effective as mine." "..." Looking at the Greek gods around them sharpening their knives, Eris fell into silence. . . .

Takumi died in a ridiculous way and ended up in another world. Instead of gaining a powerful ability, he ended up dragging along an arrogant and useless goddess. Now, trapped in a group where all his companions are more problematic than helpful, his new life promises to be a disaster full of debts, chaos, and embarrassment.

Battle Through the Heavens was my first donghua and also my first novel, and because of that it holds a very special place in my heart. Xiao Yan, his journey, his struggles, and his growth are things no one can truly replace, and I know that the original story is already complete in its own way. Still, as a fan, I often imagined a different path—one where family emotions play a stronger role, where bonds, loss, and protection become as important as power itself. This idea is not meant to change Xiao Yan or deny the original story. Instead, it is a personal re-imagining inspired by my own thoughts and feelings as a reader. I was especially inspired by the fanfic BTTH: Thunder Shattered by Yi Pin Ru Xi Yang Yang. I am not trying to copy it directly, but rather use it as a foundation and modify the story according to my own imagination—focusing on a more powerful background, deeper family relationships, and emotional growth alongside cultivation. I am not a professional writer, and this is not something I am doing for fame or recognition. This story is purely for my own satisfaction and love for BTTH. If anyone has thoughts, ideas, or suggestions, I am open to them, and I will gladly shape the story in a better way.

In a world governed by the "Vessel System," power is not a gift—it is a one-way evolution. To gain the strength of a God, you must first become empty. You must become a Hollow.

What if the only way to save the world… was to break it? Dominic grew up worshiping the Monarchs and the Mage Emperor—the legendary team who ended a five-hundred-year war and forged an age of peace. But peace is a lie. Beneath it, corruption festers—woven into thrones, laws, and the very order meant to protect the world. The system isn’t failing. It was built this way. As Dominic’s faith collapses, so does his restraint. This world cannot be saved. It must be broken. To change it, he will have to tear down everything he once believed in—and risk becoming something far worse than the evil he seeks to destroy.
