Surviving A Novel I Don't Remember: A Tutor's Guide To Staying Alive

"If I can just stay under the radar, I might survive the final chapter." Kim Jowoon woke up in a novel world as the illegitimate fourth son of a marquis, Julian Von Astrea, and it looked like every single character hated him. It was a world where everyone looked like a protagonist—shining eyes, tragic backstories, destiny practically dripping off them. Everyone except him. He didn't even get a script. Then the Affection System popped up and crushed his hopes in one clean line of text: every so-called “hero” in the capital had a solid 0% interest in his continued existence. Naturally, Julian did the most reasonable thing possible—he ran. Straight into the safest job he could think of: tutoring the young son of the Empire's most reclusive (and famously cold) Duke. The plan was foolproof. Win over the kid, stay invisible, collect a fat paycheck, and live long enough to die of old age instead of plot relevance. It didn't go smoothly at first. The child never spoke, the Duke barely appeared, and Julian briefly wondered if he'd chosen the wrong kind of death. But somehow… it worked. The Duke's son quickly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm and fun moments, and silence turned into trust. And even stranger, the Duke's affection level didn't just rise—it skyrocketed into something Julian absolutely had not planned for. For the first time since transmigrating, he felt safe. Then the Emperor began to interfere, so much that he became a madman to Julian. Julian thought he could live quietly. Well... He thought wrong.

THE SENTINEL GUIDE

Mu Chen lands a spot on a top-notch special ops team at this super high-tech military base, where honestly, everyone's watched like they're just another piece of equipment, guides and sentinels alike. Officially, he's supposedly a weak, late bloomer guide, brought in because they're short on people and the higher-ups are hoping to collect some new intel. But the real deal? He's secretly packing some serious power that, if anyone found out, would land him locked up, cut open for study, or stuck with them forever. The team's field leader is Ye Fan, a legendary A-tier sentinel who's got a reputation for being incredibly tough to control and having practically zero compatibility with guides. He's not exactly thrilled about Mu Chen joining, thinks the timing of the transfer is sketchy, and gets a weird vibe from him – too quiet, too polished, like a signal that just won't decode. Mu Chen keeps a low profile, playing the part of a harmless newbie while he figures out all the team's protocols: how to get permission to link up, compatibility ratings, and surveillance that even digs into their private thoughts. As the missions get more intense and the system gets more suffocating, Mu Chen ends up saving people over and over in ways that just look like sheer luck or skill. Except Ye Fan can sense the truth behind it every single time, like a wave of relief he never expected. Their connection builds under the intense pressure of the unit: stolen moments of kindness between missions, silent acts of protection, and a spark that gets seriously risky because it's totally off-limits. The more the institute tries to keep them in check, the more Mu Chen has to gamble with exposing his true self. And the more Ye Fan has to figure out if he'll stick to the rules of the system that made him, or torch the whole thing to keep Mu Chen safe.

Royal Secret: I'm a Princess!

After living as a famous Korean vlogger-slash-mukbanger, Neoma died a (shameful) death and regressed to her tragic first life--- the life where she has to live as a hidden princess with a tyrannical father and a yandere twin brother. She died at the hands of her psycho brother in her first life. But luckily, she charmed her "big brother" this time. Her father remains a sc*mbag, though. But a blessing in disguise happened when her twin brother got "sick." Because of that, she has to pretend as the "Crown Prince," forcing her father to treat her well. She thought she was finally on the road to becoming a lady of leisure. But, despite her laziness, she still ends up completing royal duties that put her closer to the throne than her sick twin brother. The next thing she knew, they already prophesied her to be the first empress of their very patriarchal empire. Now Neoma finds herself in the middle of the succession war she never wanted to be involved in! *** [EXCERPT 1] “Neoma de Moonasterio, the first princess of Moonasterion Empire. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero’s proxy.” [The hell is this psycho saying?] Neoma, despite her confusion, still smiled at her father--- the emperor. “Father, what do you mean by that?” “From now on, assassins sent by my enemies would target Nero,” the emperor explained. “Until he’s strong enough to protect himself, you’ll pose as your twin brother.” Her smile froze, but she still acted innocent. “But Father. If I take my brother’s position, then wouldn’t the assassins mistake me for him and…” She stopped talking when she realized that was exactly what the emperor wanted her to do. [This sc*mbag wants me to be bait?!] “You’re no longer a princess, Neoma de Moonasterio. From now on, you’ll live as Prince Nero de Moonasterio,” Emperor Nikolai said coldly while looking down at her with glowing red eyes. “Try to survive until your twin brother comes back to take his rightful place, understood?” Neoma was too shocked to react. [Are you f*cking kidding me, you sc*mbag?!] *** [ORIGINAL BOOK COVER. Artwork by sola_cola.] *** [EXCERPT 2] “I’m so sick of your tyrannical a*s,” Neoma yelled at her father aka the emperor. “I won’t forgive you for hurting Lewis and Tteokbokki!” “What will you do about it then?” Nikolai asked with a smirk. “Kill me?” “Yes! I’ll f*cking kill you, sc*mbag!” “Language,” he warned her, upset that his five-year-old daughter curses like a sailor. “Using vulgar words is unbecoming of the future Crown Prince.” “I’m a princess!” Upon yelling those words, the royal princess’s eye color changed from ash-gray to red. [This is getting serious.] “Stop it, Nero,” Nikolai told her sternly. “If you keep that up, the royal knights will come and–” “I’m not Nero!” Neoma screeched angrily. Then she jumped in the air with her left fist, ready to punch him. “In the name of the moon, I’ll punish you!” [What…?] And Princess Neoma, pretending as the Crown Prince for her sick twin brother, punched Emperor Nikolai, her father, in the face.

Rescuing Him in Every Twisted World

Liesa Valtieri was just a psychology assistant—nothing glamorous. She picked up a case her supervising therapist had flat-out refused. That single decision dragged her into a long-term, extremely hands-on job: jumping through the fractured inner worlds of business tycoon Angus Romano, patching up the emotional blind spots of his split personalities, one world at a time. _________________________________________ World One: The CEO and His Personal Doctor The CEO leaned back dramatically on the hospital bed, eyes dark with grievance. "You only lost love," he said hoarsely. "But I lost a leg." Liesa glanced down at his medical chart, then at his perfectly intact limbs. "…Angus, it's just mild discomfort in your right leg." He stared at her in silence, then spoke with grave resolve. "If you don't love me," Angus said, " this leg can go." She rubbed her temples. "Love. I love you. Happy now?" He smiled, instantly healed. _________________________________________ World Two: Prison Kingpin and Rookie Guard "Do you like me?" he asked, casual as small talk. Liesa didn't even hesitate. "No." He nodded, "Alright. Then I'll escape tonight." "…Wait..." _________________________________________ World Three: Noble Lady and Her Devoted Attendant Liesa put a book in his hands, expression serious. "I just want you to study more," she said. "Grow up educated. Contribute to the society." The attendant hugged her waist, cheek pressed against her shoulder. "No," he said calmly. "I just want to stay with you and sleep." "..." _________________________________________ World Four: Heiress Wife and Her Husbands… Plural? Angmar Romano crossed his arms, tone cold but precise. He said, "Strictly speaking, I'm Liesa's husband. The wedding was just ruined by a certain jerk." Across the room, Durgus Romano smiled faintly. He said, "Sorry. First come, first served." Liesa stared at the two identical faces in front of her. "…OMG," she muttered, "I never would've guessed this world had two Mr. Romano. And they're twins." _________________________________________ World Five: City Lord's Wife and Her Scheming Husband Angus sighed, gaze gentle, voice full of regret. "All my life, I've only wanted one thing," he said softly."To put down the blade and be a kind, harmless man." Speechless, Liesa said, "Could you put down the knife on my neck first?" _________________________________________ ...
