Love of Fortune and Steel

Love of Fortune and Steel is a historical fantasy that weaves together romance, comedy, adventure, and the clash of worlds. James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy. Their bond is further tested with the arrival of Saralta, a bold and free-spirited cavalry commander from the Vakerian steppes. In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.

That Time I Got Reincarnated As An Abyssal Phoenix (Remake)

First came a god, one who fell into darkness, driven mad by a storm of joy and sorrow not their own. A god driven by desperation for their own salvation and hatred toward the very creations they help give form, one who was cut down by the brightest of lights, a light whose heart was filled with grief. Next came six wings of crimson red, six wings that were once pure and whole but were now stained with blood and sin; six wings that spread the taint that seeped from the broken shards of madness long since left behind. Even now, after hundreds of years, those who follow the malformed gospel of those bloodied wings continue to spread the writhing taint, twisting life to meet their unholy ends. And now a third has come, one who is not of this world but who holds the key to undo the locks and reforge the pieces. In the end, whether they will fall like those before them, crushed by the weight of all that is, or rise and break the shackles that bind them, only time will tell... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I do not claim to own "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" or any of the corresponding characters in that anime; everything belongs to their respective owners. Additionally, images and artwork I may occasionally use do not belong to me; I only use them as references. If their rightful owners ask me to remove them, I will. Finally, this fanfiction will only be uploaded here, on Webnovel, four the foreseeable future. If this changes, I will update this section with the relevant information.

One Piece: My Wife Is The Sun Goddess Luffy

Ralph transmigrated into the world of One Piece. Right at the start, he was rescued by Luffy — only to discover, in shock, that Luffy had become a cute short-haired girl! Luffy… a girl?!!! Luffy had turned into Lufia — how was this adventure supposed to unfold now? She’s the granddaughter of a Marine vice admiral, the daughter of a revolutionary, and since childhood has been led astray by a certain red-haired pirate, dreaming of becoming the Pirate King. She’s optimistic, passionate, and full of dreams. Along the journey, regardless of gender, people are inspired by her, gathering around her as friends. In the end, everyone realises she is the Sun Goddess, destined to save the world! This… actually sounds pretty reasonable! After a kiss that sealed their bond (well — CPR), Ralph’s system awakens. His main quest: become the man of the Pirate King! As long as he gains characters’ affection, he earns rewards — the Six Powers, Haki, navigation skills… Gaining Lufia’s favor makes him grow even stronger. Become the Pirate King’s man, the partner of the Sun Goddess, and the ultimate reward will be granted! Big reward or not, it doesn’t really matter — like the One Piece itself, it might all be intangible anyway. What really matters is that I love girls with short hair, easygoing personalities, and serious foodie tendencies! I’m definitely going to become the Pirate King’s man! Sanji — I’ll compete with you in cooking! Zoro — I’ll compete with you in swordsmanship! Usopp — I’ll compete with you in bragging! Franky — I’ll compete with you in being outrageous! As long as it boosts Lufia’s affection, I’ll do anything! Robin — please don’t fall for me, my heart belongs only to Lufia! Hancock — you’re the worst offender, don’t think being beautiful is enough to—
