• 1-2 New Chapters Every Day A 21st-century tech manager from 2035 wakes up in the body of Emperor Commodus—the mad ruler fated to die by his own guard. Marcus Holt doesn’t plan to go down like that. He’s got one advantage: JARVIS, a solar-powered AI he built back on Earth, still running on his battered laptop. With it, he can predict famine, stop riots, and even outsmart senators. But in ancient Rome, a machine that thinks like a god is the most dangerous secret a man can have. Lucilla, Commodus’s brilliant sister, senses something wrong. Her brother suddenly speaks with reason instead of rage, reforms instead of blood. To her, that means one thing—he’s possessed. And she will stop him before he tears apart the world she knows. Then there’s Marcia, the former slave who once feared Commodus but now sees something human behind his eyes. She becomes his ally, his love, and the only person he dares to trust with the truth about JARVIS. Together, they dream of saving Rome—even as it turns against them. But the closer Marcus gets to building a better empire, the clearer it becomes that changing history might destroy him first. Will Commodus’s heart win over his logic—or will the god he created decide his fate?

Even within the unseen grasp of a False Entity. Everything will one day fade into the unruly unknown. The false of yesterday, to the truth of tomorrow.

• 1-2 New Chapters Every Day Han Yoo-jin never stood out. He worked long hours at a Korean entertainment company, doing what he was told, blending into the crowd. That was his life—ordinary, predictable, and a little empty. Then one night, he met Jung Sae-ri, a young actress who seemed to shine brighter than anyone else in the room. Something about her stayed with him long after the event ended. The next morning, Yoo-jin woke up to a strange new ability.

Jealous rivals, greedy agencies, and the ever-hungry press are ready to tear down anyone who rises too fast. Yoo-jin will have to protect the people he cares about, keep his secret hidden, and prove that not every success story ends in a scandal. Because in a world built on fame and lies, staying true might be the hardest thing of all.

Gods have gone mad. Their divinity has bled into sickness, twisting the world into a graveyard of broken kingdoms and desperate creatures. From that rot, something worse crawls out. An Imp. A killer.

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan.

It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away?

Any resemblance to real names, places, or events is coincidental. This is an extremely fast-paced novel, and the protagonist becomes absurdly overpowered. He is not the usual “hero complex” type. The villain and antihero tags are not for show. If you are looking for a “goody-two-shoes” protagonist, this novel is not for you. Kailen is a morally grey character. Note for Readers (Please do not skip): Early on, Kailen awakens with a shadow affinity. Yes—it may remind you of popular works you've read… but this is only the beginning. As the story progresses, he will unlock and master multiple affinities, each adding a unique evolution to his path. The shadow affinity is a nod to some of my favorite novels, but the journey, characters, and world are entirely my own. Join the Community: Care to interact with me and other readers?
