I rested my head on his chest, and he stroked my hair in a comforting manner. "I love you", he whispered softly in a deep tone. That was the first time he said it. And the first time I had accepted it. Love. ***************** Love isn't something Kiyomi Yamada ever wanted to understand. To her, it was a dangerous word — the kind that breaks people, the kind she promised herself to never believe in. But everything changes when an unexpected bond forms between her and Minato Shimizu, the quiet boy from Class 2A who always seems to be hiding something behind his calm eyes. As Kiyomi's once ordinary school life unravels into a tangle of laughter, secrets, and longing, she finds herself caught between friends growing apart — Akio's jealousy, Hinata's heartbreak, and Asahi's quiet care. When gossip begins to spread, and unspoken truths ripple through Class 2A, Kiyomi must finally face the one question she's avoided her whole life: How do you love someone… when you're afraid of losing them? Told through Kiyomi and other main characters' eyes — with humor, tenderness, and the ache of first love — How Do You Love is a heartfelt slice-of-life story about friendship, fear, and the small, quiet ways people learn to love.

Miyako Amane transferred to the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School—a place where meritocracy decides everything—under the invitation of her friend’s father. Her goal? Just to enjoy high school life. Make a few friends. Maybe experience a sweet, innocent romance. That was the plan. Unfortunately… she became a little too popular. Before she knew it, her peaceful life turned into chaos: Love letters on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Confessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. And on Sundays—finally—she rests. Miyako Amane: “Being liked and confessed to feels great, but… why are all the people confessing to me girls?!” Sakayanagi Arisu: “You’ll have to ask yourself that. Also, stop researching ‘Sakayanagi-exclusive Mousse Cake,’ it’s creepy.” Horikita Suzune: “You’re so annoying. My mouth hurts from reading you bedtime stories—now go to sleep!” Ichinose Honami: “Miyako-san is so cool! Um… if she doesn’t peek at me changing again, maybe my evaluation will be higher~” Shiina Hiyori: “I’m reading. Please, Amane-san, don’t tempt me with food—especially not that embarrassing ‘Shiina Hiyori Approved Type II Bear Cookie’!” And so begins the bizarre daily life of the most dangerous transfer student in the Classroom of the Elite—the girl who accidentally started a school-wide Yuri phenomenon. -------------------------------- Read up to chapter 40 in advance at p@treon

What would you do if almost everyone around you saw you as a hindrance or not at all? What if your own father was one of those who wished you gone? That is the story of Rosemary's life. Ever since the death of her mother during accident where only she survived, Rose has felt useless. Despite her best attempts to ignore the hurtful glances and words of the royal court and her father, she can't help but feel like a wilted flower. It becomes so bad that she considers ending it all, until she is rescued by a handsome young man with cold violet eyes who promises to change her world. ---- Before long, I reached a stone bridge overlooking Kaguya river. Luckily for me, the place was empty at the moment. Although, would anyone have even bothered saving a wretch like me? At most, they probably would have just watched as I met my end in a moment of morbid curiosity. And as I stood at the edge, I remembered all the times I had cried. All the times I had hurt. But now, I was ready. I smiled as the wind whipped around me. It was time to end it. Turning around, I let my body fall backwards into the river. The sky was a sea of stars. The city lights around me sparkled like gems. It was so beautiful. For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of calm wash over me. I didn't regret it. No, I had finally found the courage to stand up for myself in my very own way. The water was high, so the fall itself didn't kill me instantly as I had hoped. As the river enveloped me, I closed my eyes. This was the end of my journey. A journey full of misery and tragedy. If there was another life, I hoped it would be better than this one. "Sis!" I heard a voice scream. Orlin! My brother came for me? What was he doing here? Had he followed me? But why? Did he care about me? Or was it just pity? No, right? Surely at least one person in this world loved me. Why had I given up on myself so soon? I knew he loved me. Yet, I still went through with this stupid decision. I allowed those girls and Father's words inhibit my better judgment... "Sis, where are you? Rose! Please show yourself! I want to talk!" Ore yelled at the top of his lungs. Right, my life was not all misery and tragedy. There were faint glimmers of joy and hope left. Ore was a big part of that. How selfish of me... I was actually about to abandon my brother. I tried to resurface, but my swimming skills weren't the best. To make matters worse, the current was far too strong. If not for the current, I would have at least been able to dog paddle over to the edge with some effort. My right hand broke through the fierce waters and was yanked by another hand. I was pulled out of the murky depths and saw a pair of cold violet eyes staring back at me. Father? No, it wasn't him. Although, those eyes felt familiar. Before I could make out the face of my rescuer clearly, darkness swept over me. Was it too late? I didn't want to die... Not anymore!

Shirogane Kaito died from overwork. Thirty something, corporate heir, alone on his office floor. No friends. No peace. Just work until his body gave out. He wakes up nineteen in a world where men outnumber women one to seven — and every man acts insufferable about it. Women treated as objects. Arrogance as a personality. The whole social order built on a ratio nobody chose. Kaito wants nothing to do with any of it. He already lived the exhausting life. He is not doing it again. Using nothing but his business knowledge from his previous life he builds himself up from zero — labour, investing, trading — and within a year he is completely financially free. Buys a house. Fills it with manga. Takes a café job just because he likes it. Peaceful, quiet, finally on his own terms. Then a homeless girl with purple hair has nowhere to go and he has a spare room. And somehow after that his quiet life starts filling up — with a possessive older woman who knows his schedule better than he does, a campus girl who hated all men until she met him, a silver haired coworker always on his shift, a tall girl who just wants to be called cute, a shy girl nobody has ever really seen, and a neighbour with two daughters who has already quietly decided she is not letting him go. He is not looking for any of this. It finds him anyway.

As ancient secrets buried within his blood begin to awaken, Rowen steps onto a path unlike any other—a path that could change not only his fate but the fate of the entire world. Some destinies begin with greatness. His begins with failure.

But Yu Jin soon realized: The sword is not only for killing… in this world, it may hold far more wonderful uses. --------------------------- Join my Patreon now to get instant access to the next chapters!

Realizing his mistakes too late, Ferda returned to the starting point of it all. The day he was informed of his engagement to the “King of Beasts,” a sentence no different from a death warrant for nobles. “Get engaged to Princess Valdrova.” “All right, I will.” “…What?” This time, he decided to go through with it. To accept the engagement to that red dragon— The one he had killed with his own hands.

Thanos raised his hand, the Infinity Gauntlet gleaming with six radiant gems, and snapped his fingers! Snap! Half of all life in the universe turned to dust. But one man remained untouched. Protected by a strange gem—so red it shimmered black and purple—Michael stood unharmed. Then, he grinned… and snapped his own fingers. Snap! Every creature Thanos had just erased returned to life. Thanos stared in disbelief. He snapped again. Snap! Michael lazily raised his hand and snapped once more. Snap! The universe reset itself as if nothing had ever happened. Thanos looked at his cracked Infinity Gauntlet and roared in frustration. “...MMP!” -------------------------------- 40 advanced chapters are now available on Patreon!

Let's be honest. You've read this story before. Pathetic loser gets transmigrated, finds a magical system, gets into a magical academy, and suddenly every girl in a ten-mile radius wants to jump his bones. It’s trash. I should know; I died choking on my own rage while reading it. Yeah, I got that story. Except I'm not some clueless kid. I was a Yakuza enforcer. And the body I got stuck with? It belongs to the fattest, laziest, most perverted side-character I’ve ever met. My new name is Satori, and my life is a cosmic joke. My "cheat" is the [Scumbag System]. It doesn't reward heroism or kindness. It rewards manipulation, corruption, and causing the kind of chaos that makes for a damn good show. And if I fail? The penalties are... creative. And excruciatingly painful. First on the System's hit list: my gorgeous, powerful, and utterly disgusted stepsister, Natalia. The mission: seduce her, corrupt her, and make her mine. This isn't a zero-to-hero story. It's a story about a wolf in pig's clothing, and the flock has no idea what's coming. Welcome to the hunt. === ADDITIONAL Tags: No Yuri, No Ntr, Netori, Gates, Dungeons, Yandere, Tsundere, Gacha, comedy

It leans towards slice-of-life, aiming to make up for various regrets, and features happy daily life without any angst. No pairing, feel free to ship whatever you like!! There might be some ambiguous elements (male on top of male), so proceed with caution if you're sensitive to that! Caution! Don't come in and insult me! This is just for my own fanfiction! Severe out-of-character (OOC) elements; his mental state is constantly erratic and insane. Orochimaru's mental state is similar to that of the eccentric Snake Uncle at Naruto's wedding, specifically referring to Orochimaru in Rock Lee's Gaiden, only younger and now just a snake. --------------------------- Join my Patreon now to get instant access to the next chapters!

They thought the Red Dragon Emperor was gone. They thought Kuoh was safe from his madness. They were wrong. Hyoudou Issei, the infamous perverted dragon of Kuoh Academy, vanished during a mysterious battle. Everyone thought he was dead lost to some unknown disaster. But Issei didn’t die. Oh no. He was thrown into another world. A brutal world of magic, monsters, demon lords… and plenty of busty heroines. There, he did what he does best. He survived. He trained. He grew stronger. Strong enough to fight gods, conquer kingdoms, and maybe even tame a Demon Lord’s daughter. (Totally not his fault… probably.) Now, after three insane years over there, Issei is back. But this isn’t the same high schooler who used to scream about boobs all day. This Issei has mastered new powers, sharpened his mind, and... okay, he still screams about boobs, but now he can destroy mountains while doing it. The devils, angels, and fallen of this world? They have no idea what’s about to hit them. Old friends don’t know whether to hug him, punch him, or run for their lives. And for those who ever doubted him… well, let’s just say Dress Break has leveled up too. A stronger, crazier, and hornier Red Dragon Emperor. A world on the brink of chaos. And a storm of comedy, romance, ecchi, and overpowered insanity is about to begin. Get ready, Kuoh. Issei’s back and he’s bringing the harem with him.

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

A scientist, beaten a cold from escaping the government could only die silently in a small alley. His final words? Why didn't they just offer more money??? His consciousness was then pulled and lured to another world by an entity called the 'assistant', into the body of Naruto. The assistant gives out missions he need to complete, but lacks one vital information about this new Naruto...he HATES being told what to do, so while he is given missions, he plots to remove this so called assistant from his mind. Now, follow this chaotic and mischievous boy as he wrecks havoc across the elemental nations! He loves explosions, and he loves research, but most of all, he's an absolute menace to his enemies! ------------------ Notes: He has watched Naruto, but he remembers almost nothing, so basically, all he knows is names of characters, possibly even forgetting their appearances. Will not affect plot!!!! For those who dislike system type novels, good for you, he does have a system, BUT, it will be gone very early on. If you want to know when? Uh, wait Also, I will DEFINITELY change some plot, for example, NPC A who dies in Naruto will probably be alive in my series, won't say who lives n who dies, but yh, there will def be changes Lastly, this is generally comedy, I will do my best to follow the general plot of the original story, and NO, this isn't a complete takeover, this is a fusion of minds between Naruto and the scientist, so even if one side is more dominant, it is more like living two different lives in this case P.S, it starts off as a ROB(cause im a terrible person), promise that it vanishes quickly, got reminded by a comment so wanted to drop this here as a quick warning, as stated before, the system will be gone early + No, Naruto won't end up with Sasuke/another guy, I tend to lean into comedy that revolves around these types of humour, so if anyone is not comfortable with these things, it might not be for you, even if those jokes aren't spoken often. Either way, enjoy~
