Take Me Away, Dark Lord!

#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."

Chasing my Luna

Marriage was set for Scott Devlin with an unknown bride that his uncle-turned-foster-father arranged for him. He was permissive to return the kindness for keeping him as part of the Devlin family, but anxious to be tied down to a human. The marriage was something planned, shrinking his world for him not to imprint. Growing up, he has been warned that blood will mark his life as soon as he meets his mate. Skeptic of the foolish warning, as an Alpha of the Grayback Clan, Scott thought that the marriage won't ever draw a line for him to imprint, and that his fate is always written in the stars. On the day of his wedding, a turnabout shook the Devlins when Scott didn't show up... The Devlin siblings took the matter in their hands knowing that their brother, despite brazen and blatant, have a soft spot for their father and would never dare defy his wishes.

Taking the opportunity to runaway and escape her overwhelming taxing life as a doctor and only daughter of Alva Woodsworth, Diana fled to the island where their honeymoon should be spent. She considered it as a treat for being (un)lucky in life. It's true that when stars align, the universe will work in your favor. And so, in one of the most unexpected nights of Scott's life in a private island that no one can simply go into, his world crashed into the hands of this woman whose scent made him weak to his knees. As soon as he gets lost in her eyes, he knew it was the compelling works of the imprint. "My Luna", he told Diana.

KONOHA : The Uchiha Clan’s Rising Sun

At a clan meeting of the Uchiha, the radicals and the conservatives were locked in fierce debate, while the moderate leader, Uchiha Fugaku, tried to smooth things over in the middle. Just then, Uchiha Jin strode in and declared loudly: “One clan, three factions — is this not a betrayal of our ancestors?” “From today onward, the Uchiha Clan needs only one voice — mine!” “I’ve said my piece. Who agrees? Who objects?” … On the Night of the Nine-Tails, Danzo led the Root ninja to surround the Uchiha compound. Root ninja: “By order of the Hokage, the Uchiha Clan is to remain within the compound tonight and must not step outside!” Uchiha Jin stepped forward through the crowd and sneered: “Which Hokage’s order are you carrying?” “The Fourth Hokage who is fighting on the front lines? The Third Hokage who has already retired? Or that so-called ‘Five-and-a-Half Hokage’ who hides in the shadows dreaming all day?” “A bunch of rats. Whoever stands in my way dies!” … At a high-level Konoha meeting, the Third Hokage was furious. Hiruzen Sarutobi: “Minato, the Uchiha Clan is too dangerous. How could you hand the ANBU over to them?!” Minato Namikaze remained calm and replied lightly: “Advisor Sarutobi, how many times must I say this? Do not speak words that harm unity. The Uchiha are, and always will be, Konoha’s Uchiha.” “And you have already retired. Please do not interfere with the Hokage’s authority.” Hiruzen Sarutobi: “Minato, you’ll regret this!” Minato Namikaze: “Sarutobi — I am the Hokage.” … The three Great Ninja Wars proved the flaws in the First Hokage’s Will — and Uchiha Jin brings a new Will of Fire to this world!
