(Will edit after main story conclusion. Specifically from the start.) *** Synopsis: A fifteen-year-old schoolgirl happens to find herself approached by a strange woman after a rough day—who happens to know her plans on running away. Astonished, she tried to interrogate, but ended up getting dragged into another universe and another world. There, she finds out that experiments are being ran on fourteen other candidates set aside for her. Being the last candidate, she is told that she might be the first one to face demise. But she is determined to find out what is up with this facility. Eventually, she comes across an astonishing fact—that this whole world and setting is similar to that of a book she read during her younger days. And the protagonist happened to be her own cousin, who also killed her at the near end of the novel. *** (Prologue) Listen... No one is judging no one here. And so am I. The world has been cruel these days. Being modern means being rude to people on the street who are below your rank—That is what they believe. I find this all frustrating, why move with a state of mind that could as well kill you someday. You don't know if this person is a lawyer, a far relative, a doctor, a politician. But you already get the gist, don't you? And like any other teenagers my age, I really want to run away from all this. It's not like I am an orphan or from a poor household. I am from a family which is a standard class in economical terms in this world. And yet, I want to run away. Haha! Anyways. I did succeed. I wonder at what cost? I am away from all that hostility of course... But now I am in another world. Not reincarnated. Not transmigrated to another body. I am with my own soul in my original body, but in another world. This world... is weird. Thinking back, I remember reading a strange book when I was young. This book actually speaks about this world. I am a character there. Funnier thing, I don't know what is up with it either. It appears to me that the writer decided they want to see the 'live-action' version of it. So now... I am the actor playing my own character.

The Devil's obsession with the Heiress

[Warning: Mature content | Dark romance] Aliana Vanderbilt is the witty, fierce heiress to a multi-billion-dollar empire. She always lived life on her own terms, until one fateful night changed everything. After a brutal accident involving a "lost child" that only she could see, Aliana woke to a terrifying new reality. By day, she is haunted by restless spirits. By night, she is consumed by vivid, steamy dreams of a mysterious man with icy blue eyes. Her search for a solution comes to an abrupt halt when she finally comes face-to-face with Gavriel Valentine. An enigmatic man sitting at the pinnacle of a rival business empire. He is dominating, dangerous, and everything Aliana should avoid. Yet, he alone possesses the power to end her misery. Whenever she is near him, the ghosts vanish. Driven by a desperate need for peace, Aliana bulldozes into Gavriel’s life with a scandalous demand. However, what she does not expect is his counter-offer… that she must marry him. What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.

Interstellar Era: My Ex-Husband Chases Me Everyday

The Interstellar Era brought a new reality for humanity. Pollution and space pirates became the latest problems for the government. To Mu Ning, however, things weren't simple. At the height of her career, she got in an accident and ended up becoming a task executor. After completing countless missions and finally returning to her own world, she was greeted by two adorable twins… glaring at her. The worst part? They looked an awful lot like her. After digging deeper, Mu Ning almost wanted to beat herself up. Six years had passed since her accident, and another soul had taken over her body, leaving chaos everywhere. Bringing down her parents? Check. Ruining her sibling’s career? Check. Forcing a marriage with her long-time crush and earning the worst impression possible? Check. Mistreating her own children? Check. Destroying her entertainment company? Check. The checklist went on until Mu Ning’s head throbbed. Her only comfort was that she still knew tons of Earth recipes and had the spirit farmer to purify the land she owned. With danger hanging over her like a blade, Mu Ning had to fix everything and survive... while swearing to find the soul that messed up her life. And at the same time, she had to deal with her husband’s scheming white moonlight, an adopted daughter trying to steal her place, and a mother-in-law who couldn’t stand her! Rolling up her sleeves, Mu Ning let out a cold laugh. After living in so many worlds, very few things could truly scare her. ......................................................................... Extract 1: "Sign this divorce paper, if you still have even a little shame left." The cold, distant crown prince of the empire, Liam, looked at Mu Ning with complete indifference. Mu Ning felt her heart twist painfully. She had liked this man for more than five years. But some relationships simply couldn’t be forced. With a quiet sigh in her heart, Mu Ning signed the divorce papers. .......................................................................... Extract 2: [Alert! To survive, you must kiss Mu Ning within 10 seconds!] Liam blinked at Mu Ning with an innocent expression and blurted out, "Wife, my system is asking me to kiss you 10 times." System: "..." Liar! Mu Ning smirked coldly. "Get lost."

One Piece: Starting Out as the Monkey King

Stranded on a deserted island as an eight-year-old boy in the brutal, monster-filled world of One Piece? Definitely not an ideal start for a transmigrator. However, fate had other plans when a careless birthday wish was granted. Armed with meta-knowledge of the future and a god-tier Devil Fruit—the Mythical Zoan: Monkey-Monkey Fruit, Model: Monkey King—the boy, now named Bardock, refuses to be a mere background character. With an indestructible body, Fiery Golden Eyes that can perceive the microscopic, and the Flying Nimbus, he tames the savage island and dives into hellish training to survive. His journey truly kicks off when he manages to hitch a ride on the Red Hair Pirates' galleon. There, he not only becomes Shanks's favorite barbecue chef but also unexpectedly awakens his own Conqueror's Haki (Haoshoku Haki) while witnessing a sky-splitting duel between Shanks and "Hawkeye" Dracule Mihawk. Now, Bardock has dropped anchor at the Sabaody Archipelago—a chaotic hub crawling with wanted pirates and corrupt World Nobles. Crewless, completely broke, and blocked by World Government bureaucracy from returning to the West Blue, Bardock has to get creative to make some quick cash. And so, an absurd legend is born. Hidden behind sunglasses and a familiar blue hat, Bardock starts cleaning the streets of low-bounty pirates in the dead of night with nothing but a metal baseball bat. Concealing his true monstrous strength, he cashes in his targets at the Marine Base under a pseudonym that will one day make a certain reindeer doctor cry in absolute frustration: "Tony Tony Chopper," the infamous bounty hunter dubbed "Blackjack Chopper." With no cheat system to hold his hand and no powerful patron to protect him, Bardock is determined to assemble his own crew and carve his name into the annals of the sea. This is the story of a boy wielding the power of the Monkey King, ready to turn the Grand Line upside down in his pursuit of absolute freedom!

GAME OF THRONES: AEGON THE AVENGER

Lightweight system) (Slow-heating) Aegon travels to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire and becomes Aegon Targaryen, who shares the same name. Good news: He possesses the bloodline of the Valyrian Dragon King and can ride dragons. Bad news: I didn't transmigrate into Aegon the Conqueror who conquered the Seven Kingdoms, nor into any of the Targaryen kings in history, but into "Little Aegon"—yes, the one who got smashed against a wall by the Mountain and had his head split open. To make matters worse, the Targaryen dynasty had already fallen, and a usurper had ascended the throne in King's Landing. He could only drag his broken body and rely on the system to stay alive as he fled to the Narrow Sea. Aegon thought he was getting a tragic and heartbreaking script, but what happened? Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully checked in at the Valyrian Ruins and received 1 chance to win a prize. Ding! Congratulations, host, you have drawn the Golden Legendary item and obtained King Ghidorah (juvenile form). Aegon stared in astonishment at the grotesque three-headed beast on the system screen: "Wait... is this art style right?!" When the shadow of a three-headed dragon, obscuring the sky, swept across King's Landing, when the chaotic Seven Kingdoms were reunited under the dragon's wings, and when usurpers and traitors were reduced to ashes in the flames, the maesters who wrote the Targaryen Chronicles bestowed upon him the title "Aegon the Avenger" after Aegon the Conqueror.

DxD: Yokai King

Reborn in the world of High School DxD… was that supposed to be a joke? Because I wasn’t laughing. Still, it’s not the worst place to end up—if you stay away from the supernatural, that is. Except fate wasn’t about to let me sit on the sidelines. When I woke up, I didn’t just get reincarnated as some random guy. No, I looked exactly like Nate Adams from Yo-kai Watch… complete with the watch. At first, I thought it was some kind of bizarre prank universe. But the Yokai didn’t see it that way. To them, I wasn’t just some kid with a fancy watch—I was their prophesied King, the one destined to restore their pride and lead them out of the shadows. Great. Another “Chosen One” gig I never signed up for. The Yokai treat me like royalty, Yasaka’s staring at me like I’m the moon itself, and the prophecy says I’ll fix everything that went wrong with their world. And honestly? I can’t just ignore it. Like many DxD fans, I hated how the Yokai faction got shoved to the side. Guess what, Devils, Angels, and Fallen—you won’t be able to ignore us anymore. With a harem of powerful Yokai girls (and maybe a goddess or two), I’ll carve out a future where my people won’t be treated like pawns or second-class citizens. And when I eventually cross paths with Issei Hyoudou, I’m not going to hate him. No, I’ll sit down with him and talk about what it’s like to actually handle a harem. Because unlike half the fandom who whine about him being a pervert, I get it. This is my story. This is the rise of the Yokai King. ----- MC: Nate Ship: Nate X Harem (because it's DXD No-NTR (No of the girls in Issei Harem is gonna be in Nate Harem) DxD X Yo-kai Watch
