F-Rank Beast: The Heroine's Useless Partner

"When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes back." Yandere MC - yes Weird and mysterious protagonist - yes Harem – no (absolutely not) Single female lead – yes Fantasy world - yes Academy life - yes Well-written, coherent story - yes An author who loves lemon tea - yes _ _ _ In the Empire’s most prestigious academy, a single moment can change the course of an entire life. Alicia Emberlune is the last remaining descendant of a bloodline despised by the Empire, the legendary Witch Clan. For her, entering Aethelgard Imperial Academy is not simply a step toward education. It is a fight to prove that she deserves to exist. On Soul Binding Day, the creature she calls forth will determine her destiny. As extraordinary students summon radiant and powerful beings of S and SS Rank, Alicia’s hope wavers. When her turn finally arrives, something appears that no history book has ever mentioned and no scholar has ever witnessed. A small boy with a human appearance sits silently at the center of the ritual circle. His skin is pale as death and his eyes are entirely black, devouring light like a void. The measurement orb does not react to him at all. The judgment is delivered with merciless clarity: F Rank. A humiliation so rare that the Academy has not recorded a similar incident in more than a century. Alicia becomes the target of ridicule and escapes the auditorium in tears. She does not yet know that this strange child is not a creature like the others. He is a being torn from another realm, an existence without name or origin, drawn to her by an instinct older than memory. To this child, Alicia is light, warmth and the only piece of truth in a chaotic world. Even after being rejected, he continues to seek her with silent and unwavering determination. As he wanders the Academy, something ancient and dangerous begins to awaken within him. This is a tale of strength, hatred and destiny reshaped by an unexpected bond. Alicia cannot yet imagine that the child she summoned, the one the world labels as F Rank, may in fact be the beginning of a nightmare powerful enough to shake the foundations of the Empire.

Architects of reality

The last twelve months are a black hole for Ema. She has no idea who she is or where she came from. Her reality consists of a cheap sublet, dead-end jobs, and blister packs of antidepressants used to drown out the feeling that her life is nothing but a stage set. Her parents' faces are a blur. Her memories are nonexistent. Except for the nightmares. Every night, dreams call her to a place not found on any map. To a city where trees burst through concrete and shattered windows stare like blind eyes. Ema knows she must return if she wants to uncover the truth about her lost year. But stepping into the ruins of her nightmares reveals that solitude was the least of her dangers. In a dead city where black thorns devour reality, she is not alone. Watching from the shadows is a man with golden eyes. A man who knows more about her than she does-and who might be her only hope for survival. Ema will soon discover that God has abandoned this world, leaving behind only fractured remnants of His power. Now, the Architects of Reality use these shards to rewrite the laws of existence, unaware that every change they make tears the fabric of the world a little more. And somehow, Ema is the key to it all. _____________________________________ [Release Schedule] New chapter every 2 days!
