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."

No Spiritual Root? Then I'll Cultivate My Own Great Dao

In a world where Spiritual Roots determine one's cultivation destiny, Li Yuan has drawn the worst possible fate. After transmigrating into a conventional cultivation world, he discovers that his new body possesses no Spiritual Root. Without one, he cannot follow the path taken by countless cultivators, no matter how hard he tries. But Li Yuan knows something this world does not. In his previous life, his friend created an entirely different cultivation path—the ORIGIN Dao Path. Rather than relying on Spiritual Roots, pills, or inherited cultivation techniques, this path focuses on the evolution of one's very existence. It begins with the true self, draws strength from both the world and one's own will, and allows innate talents and divine abilities to emerge through individual nature and comprehension. Now, stranded in an unfamiliar world with no backing, no resources, and no one willing to believe in his path, Li Yuan must turn that theory into reality. He starts with nothing. He earns his meals through physical labor, studies discarded spiritual materials, and experiments with the energy that conventional cultivators take for granted. Every discovery brings new possibilities—and new questions. Can a cultivation path born in another world truly work here? Can someone without a Spiritual Root rise in a world that treats Spiritual Roots as the foundation of immortality? And how far can a person go by cultivating a Dao that no one else understands? Li Yuan has no ancient inheritance waiting for him. No mysterious system will hand him effortless power. If he wants to reach the summit, he must walk the path himself. After all, a Dao does not become true simply because someone believes in it. It becomes true when someone walks it to the end.
