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 barely 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 slowly warmed up to him. Lessons became warm conversations, 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 Empire started falling apart. A masked criminal began tearing through the capital, and Julian started waking up with missing memories and an unsettling sense of déjà vu. No wounds. No explanations. Just the feeling that something had happened—and that he was better off not remembering it. He had thought he was the one being hunted. But the higher the Duke's affection climbed, the more frequent the blackouts became, and the more a terrifying possibility took shape. He came here to survive the story. Now, he was starting to suspect the Duke wasn't protecting him from the plot at all… He was protecting the plot from him.

'빛 없는 영역'과 형의 혼돈은 그들의 빛을 파괴하고 그들이 두려워하는 괴물로 진화시킬까요? '혼돈의 존재'? '사이'는 자신이 찾고 있는 것과 전쟁을 끝내기 위한 해결책을 찾기 위해 모든 것, 심지어 정체성까지 희생할 의향이 있습니다. 인류는 자신의 파괴에서 진화할 수 있을까요? 지식은 제정신을 가질 가치가 있을까요? '인간'이 된다는 것은 진정으로 무엇을 의미할까요? 최종 판결은 그 양심에 무게를 둡니다.

MOONBOUND DESIRE: THE ALPHA'S FORBIDDEN MATE

Seraphina Crane thought she had it all—Beta female of the Silvercrest Pack, mated to future Alpha Thorne Ashford, perfect life mapped out. Then she catches Thorne in bed with her best friend on the night before their mating ceremony. Humiliated and shattered, she does the unthinkable: crosses into rival territory and spends one reckless night with a dangerous stranger whose touch sets her soul on fire. She doesn't know his name. Doesn't know his pack. Only knows that for one night, she felt truly alive. Then her Alpha father assigns her to negotiate peace with their ancient enemies—the Shadowfang Pack. She walks into the treaty meeting and her world implodes. The stranger from that night sits at the head of the table. Alpha Corvus Nightshade. The most ruthless pack leader in the territory. Her fated mate. The mate bond snaps into place violently, impossibly. But wolves from enemy packs can't be mates—it's forbidden by ancient law. When Corvus offers her a dangerous bargain to hide their bond while they navigate pack politics, Seraphina accepts. She'll be his secret mate for one month while they forge a treaty. Just business. Just survival. Until his wolf claims her in ways that shatter every rule. Until the bond becomes unbearable, burning through their defenses. Until their packs discover the truth and demand they choose: their love or their people's survival. In a world where fated mates are sacred but pack loyalty is absolute, how much will they sacrifice when their bond threatens to ignite a war?

Claimed by the Prince of Darkness

Eighteen-year-old Ruelle Belmont has learned to be useful and grateful, because in her family love is given only to those who earn it. When her father’s debts grow beyond saving, she is sent to Sexton, a prestigious vampire institution that accepts one human from every household. But Sexton is no place for a human. Inside its halls, humans are not students. They are Groundlings, valued for their blood and how easily they can be broken. Favour is currency and cruelty is entertainment. And failure means being sold. Ruelle soon discovers that the cold and dangerous pureblood she once crossed paths with is here as well. Worse, she is forced to share a room with him when she is hunted by a couple of vampiresses.  Lucian Slater watches her too closely for a man who claims to despise humans. Yet when Sexton’s predators begin to circle, he is the one who steps in to help her. And for the first time in her life, Ruelle is learning something she was never meant to believe. That she may be worth wanting. And in Sexton, being wanted is the most dangerous thing of all. ——————— The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her nightgown, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"
