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."

A Golden Piece of Bread

He was murdered for uncovering the secrets of vampires. He woke up in a different world as a weak student. Now, he must weaponize the fundamental laws of physics to find his way back. Shin knew what it meant to suffer. He had lived with nothing, fought for every scrap, and cherished every blessing. But when a trip to the shadowy city of Akuro revealed a horrific conspiracy tied to his mother’s sudden disappearance, his pursuit of truth ended in a bloody grave. Death, however, was not the end. Opening his eyes in the body of Arthur Leonor, a frail university student in an unfamiliar realm, Shin is left with an impossible ambition: reach the pinnacle of power and cross the void back to his home world before it’s too late. To survive this new world, Arthur must master a treacherous landscape of power—from bloodline traits and spirit familiars to Arche, a terrifying form of magic governed by the strict, unyielding laws of real-world physics. He is not a sociopathic conqueror. He is a wise, humble man who knows his own flaws, makes human mistakes, and carries a strong moral compass through the dark. But to protect those he loves and uncover the truth, Arthur will study, adapt, and turn the fundamental laws of nature into his greatest weapon. What to Expect: Grounded, High-IQ Protagonist: Wise, morally driven MC, humble progression, realistic human flaws. Physics-Based Hard Magic (Arche): A deeply technical power system where real-world physics, momentum, and thermodynamics govern spellcraft. Spirits, Familiars & Races: Multi-layered combat dynamics combining bloodlines, spirit pacts, and scientific magic. Transmigration & World-Traversal: Dark Urban Fantasy, slow-burn worldbuilding, vampire nobility, and planar mystery. [ Notice: This novel will be officially published by me on Royal Road under the author name 'Ever Hart'. You will also find this novel on Wattpad and Scribble Hub ]
