The Extra Villain: I Made a Contract With The Dragon Empress!

Do you believe in reincarnation? Some people would say yes, while others would say no. But what if it truly existed? Surely, everyone—especially those who felt like failures in life—would wish for another chance to live, right? *** Merlin Ken, a renowned editor, died while reviewing the raw draft of a popular novel titled “The Lost Hero.” But instead of moving on to the afterlife, he awoke to find himself reincarnated inside the very novel he had been editing! Worse yet, he wasn’t the protagonist—he was just an extra character with the same name, fated to become nothing more than a stepping stone for the main character. Determined to survive, Merlin resolved to defy fate by breaking the novel’s plot! By chance, a mysterious system appeared before him to help! As time passed, however, Merlin began to notice strange deviations—events that never existed in the original story. "[Ding! The first mission has been released! Awaken your Guardian Spirit on Awakening Day, three days from now! Reward: 1x Special Talent Awakening Potion!]" "[Ding! Congratulations! You have awakened the Guardian Spirit of the Ancient Dragon Empress! The reward has been delivered!]" Merlin: “What!? That’s impossible! My Guardian Spirit was supposed to be trash! How did it become an extraordinary figure instead!? Someone explain this to me!” And so, Merlin’s journey to change his fate began… *** #Note: 1. This is my first novel, so it may not be perfect. I welcome any feedback or criticism, and I’ll do my best to listen and improve. 2. The main character is a single man who has never had a partner. I’ll try to make his interactions with the heroines feel natural and reasonable. 3. This story follows the harem genre, but on a small scale—around four or five heroines. Not every female character will become the MC’s partner. The romance will develop at a steady pace, neither too fast nor too slow. 4. At the start, the MC will be a bit naive since he comes from the modern world and still holds onto his moral principles. But over time, he will adapt and become ruthless when necessary. 5. There will be no NTR, yuri, or similar elements. This will be a straightforward story. Thank you for reading, and I hope you’ll support this novel! #Tags: #Action, #Fantasy, #Adventure, #Romance, #Magic, #Political, #Anti-Hero, #Harem, #Reincarnation, #Dragon, #Academy, #Handsome-Male-Lead, #Beautiful-Female-Lead, #Conspiracy, #Magic, #Elves, #Yandere, #ObsessiveCharacter

When the Gods Forbade Our Love

Long ago, Aethros and Nyvoria were one land. Until the gods fought, broke the world, and cursed humanity with endless war. Aethros became the land of conquest, ruled by fire, strength, and ambition. Nyvoria became the land of survival, guarded by spirits, faith, and restraint. Kael, the son of Aethros’ war-hungry king, was raised with a sword in his hand and hatred in his blood. One of seventeen princes, each commanding his own army, Kael is given a single command to prove himself worthy of the throne: Bring back the head of the Nyvoria king. Lunara, born to palace servants in Nyvoria, grew up with no crown and no choice. Trained as one of Nyvoria’s strongest soldiers, she fights to protect her people not to conquer. When her family is threatened, she is forced into a royal marriage she never wanted, bound to a future she never chose. They meet on the battlefield, enemies by birth, strangers by fate. What begins as conflict slowly turns into something forbidden. For the gods have written a cruel law: If citizens of the two lands unite, their love becomes a curse. If the woman carries a child, darkness will fall, crops will die, and both lands will suffer—until she is killed before birth. As war intensifies and truths surface, Kael learns his mission was never about peace. Lunara learns her loyalty may cost her everything. Hunted by kings, betrayed by blood, and condemned by heaven itself, they are forced to make an impossible choice: Obey the gods and let the world bleed forever— or challenge the gods and risk destroying everything. This is the story of a time when love was forbidden by heaven… and two souls dared to defy it.

Ashes for Tomorrow: Ray of Light in Space

"Ashes For Tomorrow: Ray Of Light In Space" Countless universes exist. They are always in motion, changing, and sometimes, even all laws can collapse due to a single will. In the midst of this, a young man who lived without purpose or hope, simply cold and emotionless—Uzuki Anekawa, 21 years old. However, one day, an entity called the "system" suddenly appeared before him. Unlike in typical stories, it doesn't grant power or authority. This system forcibly imposes unwanted tasks on him and even commands him to join an organization called "The Universe Garden." That organization has the mission to monitor and repair "spatial distortions" that occur in the universe—threats that disrupt the flow of time, disorder history, and even affect other universes. Uzuki finds himself caught between the system's commands and the organization's orders, with no room even for his own will, and is sent to various universes merely as an entity that "must perform" tasks. There, he must impersonate others, correct distorted histories, and battle against aberrations called "spatial entities" that possess enormous destructive power. In the midst of such a harsh journey, he encounters beings he can call companions, or those he "reluctantly" fights alongside. Those encounters gradually begin to shake his frozen heart. "Why me?" As he completes missions, Uzuki eventually becomes aware of the abnormality in the system itself and the mysteries hidden in his own past. From there, he encounters even more bizarre entities and strange agents. The deeper he delves, the more he learns, and the more strange things he discovers. For every question resolved, thousands of new questions arise. What he should pursue is not merely the truth of the missions, but his own reason for existence and the truth of this universe itself.
