[Romance] Lord Black Dragon Still Hasn't Hatched Today

Jasmine received "shocking" news: she had to marry the Dragon Ghost as his wife. But in exchange, after the marriage, she would inherit the entire estate, subjects, and territory of her husband. Jasmine was overjoyed: "Is there such a sweet deal in this world?" On the wedding day, she dressed up sharply and stepped into the magnificent cathedral, casting an affectionate glance toward her future partner. And then she saw... a Dragon Egg. The majestic Dragon Ghost was nowhere to be seen; there was only an egg lying there all by itself. Inventory of assets: A dilapidated castle, with drafty winds blowing in from all directions. Subjects: Three hundred skin-and-bone slaves who, at first glance, looked like walking skeletons about to collapse from hunger. Territory: A dead land spanning ten thousand square kilometers around the Dragon Valley, so desolate that "dogs eat stones and chickens eat pebbles." Jasmine knew she had fallen for the scam of the century, but unfortunately, the knights who escorted Jasmine here had long since "whipped their horses and vanished," running away a long time ago. An old butler, so aged he could barely walk, tremblingly stepped forward, waiting for the new Lord's instructions: "My Lord..." Jasmine held the "egg-husband" in her arms, and her rational nerves snapped: "I have land and people, could I really let myself starve to death?" Putting words into action, Jasmine rolled up her sleeves and officially embarked on the path of tilling the soil to get rich. Many years later. A strange town suddenly appeared on the mainland, rumored to be obscenely wealthy. From that place flowed exquisite fabrics, pure white porcelain, and sparkling jewelry... Anyone who had ever set foot there could not help but exclaim in amazement, while wandering poets competed to compose poems praising that prosperity until their throats were sore. A certain greedy King became overcome with avarice and brought a massive army, intending to seize the town for his own. The result? They were treated to the sight of a giant dragon descending from the sky to "pay them a visit."

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."

The Lich King of Nazarick (An Overlord x OC Story)

THE FALL OF KINGS In the dying days of YGGDRASIL, Ezekiel Douglas ruled as a digital demigod. His avatar—forged in the image of the Lich King himself, Arthas Menethil of Warcraft—stood as a monument to fallen glory, a testament to power purchased with corruption's cold kiss. Frost and fury. Death and domination. Every pixelated plate of that cursed armor whispered of Lordaeron's lost prince, of Frostmourne's fatal seduction, of a throne built on bones and betrayal. Alongside his brother-in-arms, Momonga, Ezekiel commanded the legendary guild Ainz Ooal Gown—forty-one souls strong, forty-one voices unified, forty-one players who'd carved their names into YGGDRASIL's eternal halls with blood and brilliance. They were feared. They were famous. They were inevitable. But empires crumble. Legends fade. Friends drift like smoke through digital fingers. Now the servers stood on death's doorstep, counting down their final, fatal heartbeats. The world was ending—not with apocalyptic thunder, but with the soft, sorrowful click of a logout button. One by one, the guild fell silent. One by one, the heroes departed. One by one, until only two remained. On that last night—that quiet, catastrophic night—Ezekiel and Momonga wandered the Tomb of Nazarick like ghosts haunting their own mausoleum. A final farewell. A funeral march through marble halls. They walked where legends once laughed, where strategies were forged, where virtual immortality seemed certain. They could not have known that midnight would bring metamorphosis. They could not have imagined that the game's ending would be their new beginning. The servers would die at midnight. But death, as the Lich King knew well, was only the beginning.

In Danmachi with Plasmids (New Version)

A man who once lost his family in a tragic accident spent the rest of his life consumed by overwork, desperate to prove his worth to a world that never cared. His struggle ended in exhaustion and an early grave. But death was not the end. Given a second chance in a parallel world, he devoted decades to research, seeking the key to crossing into other realms. Yet even with knowledge, power, and fame, his life ended as before—isolated, unsatisfied, and weary of endless labor. Now, fate offers him one final path. In a world ruled by magic and gods, and armed with a power unlike any other, will he at last reach the dreams he’s chased across lifetimes? Or will his differences cast him out once again? ----- The first chap will be more about exposing the world of Bioshock and how Plasmids works and setting up the storyline for the future. I am not a writer, I do this for fun and you are reading this for free. The minimum you can do is to just leave a reasonable opinion, please don't hate mail me. This is the rewrite of what's essentially my first work. Once again, I do this for fun and love doing it. Thank you for understanding. ----- *Work in progress* Tags #Bioshock; #Danmachi; #Magic; #Adventure; #Gore (In some fighting scenes); #Action; #Intelligent Mc (I'll give it my all); #Reincarnation; #Transmigration; #Fastpaced(At the start); #Mediumpaced (Most of the story); #Slow romance; #Harem; #R18- In the medium to far future *And more to come if I feel like adding them* ----- I don't own the cover image, the world of Danmachi and Bioshock, or the characters apart from the Ocs I suppose. Thaat's all! Thank you for reading!
