[mature content!] A perfectly 'normal' rom-com about an immortal time-travel tutor and his four broken students.

Haruko could hardly believe it — she had actually transmigrated into a melodramatic female-oriented novel. And she had become a cannon fodder villainess! Facing a death flag right at the start, Haruko decisively transformed into a yandere loli and confessed to the female lead. “Ichiko, the one I like is you!” “You clearly said you liked me — so why are you still going to someone else!” “I won’t allow you to like anyone else. You can only like me!!!” She would confess, make her fall in love, and then fake her death in front of her — making herself her one and only. But gradually, Haruko noticed something was off. The female lead seemed to have been raised into a yandere. “Hey, Haruko, you can only like me too, okay?”

In a world where power defines the impossible, the greatest mysteries are the ones no one dares to question. Areyos Orionis is no ordinary warrior. Armed with extraordinary talent, an exceptional mastery of combat, and secrets that even the most experienced fighters struggle to comprehend, he enters a world where strength alone is never enough. Alongside friends and rivals who each possess their own ambitions, Areyos will face brutal trials, formidable opponents, and challenges that push the limits of what he believes possible. But beneath the clashes of steel and magic lies something far more unsettling. Ancient civilizations left behind mysteries that remain unexplained. Powers exist that defy everything the world believes it understands. And the truth behind the world's origins may be far more complicated than anyone imagines. As loyalties are tested and hidden forces begin to emerge, every victory comes with new questions, and every answer may lead to something even more dangerous. In a world full of legends, becoming powerful is only the beginning. Welcome to God Shelter !

Crestwood used to be peaceful. Now people lock their doors before sunset. The town has become consumed by a string of brutal murders, each victim connected in ways the police fail to understand. To everyone else, the deaths seem random. But Aubrey knows better. There’s a pattern hidden beneath the bloodshed—something watching, choosing, waiting. And when the pattern begins circling her, she realizes she was never outside of it. Desperate for answers, Aubrey gathers the friends she trusts most, only to uncover a terrifying truth: all of them are connected by something far deeper than coincidence. Their lives, their encounters, even the tragedies that shaped them feel orchestrated, as though they had been guided toward one another long before they were born. But the deeper they dig, the more reality itself begins to unravel. Because behind Crestwood lies something far worse than a murderer. There are forces moving beyond human sight—silent influences shaping lives, steering choices, and bending fate toward an outcome only they understand. To them, people are nothing more than expendable positions in a larger design, living entire lives unaware they were never truly in control. Everything was proceeding exactly as intended. Until one of them changed. Among Aubrey’s group, one fate begins drifting beyond what was planned, triggering a chain reaction no one foresaw. What should have remained controllable becomes unpredictable. Dangerous. For the first time, something within the system is no longer obeying the role it was given. And if even one pawn can move on its own… Then the ones controlling the board may finally learn what fear feels like.

#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."

Traveling to a world where ghost stories and abnormal creatures are rampant, Serie not only becomes a beautiful, fragile, and sickly girl like a porcelain doll, but is also taken in by the salvation organization as an S-level abnormal creature and imprisoned in a steel fortress in the deep sea. But Serie didn't care, because she found that as long as she closed her eyes, those witches condensed by fear, desire and power would open their demon eyes on the other side of the world. They were walking taboos and also puppets dancing on Serie's fingertips. Each witch has a completely different form and ability. Complete tasks, light up the skill tree, and continuously upgrade and evolve. Beautiful and powerful S-class witches appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain—— "The Witch of Pleasure plunges New York into a lewd abyss?" "The Dread Devourer ate the Golden Gate Bridge clean?" "The Slaughter Witch rules the battlefield, weaving nightmares for her enemies with threads of blood?" "The ruling witch made the organization's top executives betray her and become her loyal servants?" Alarms on the radio sounded one after another, and the employees were talking about Serie's trumpet, some with fear, some with admiration, and some with vigilance, but they would never know that the culprit of all this was that useless and cute girl who was tied with chains and restraints and did nothing every day except act coquettishly and wait for food. Serie said nothing, just buried her face in the pillow and continued to play the simulation game: "Let's open a new account... I want to try a different evolution path this time."

The story takes place in 1980, following main character Marcus Thark — born on July 8, 1980 — as he begins his first year at Hogwarts. Quiet, observant, and raised in an old, wealthy household shaped by alchemy and subtle magic. This is a fanfiction set in the world of Harry Potter, offering a darker, more grounded perspective. In later chapters, we’ll meet the main characters whose paths cross with Marcus’s — each with their own ambitions, fears, and pasts. It's my first time writing, which is why the chapters are taking a while to finish. I chose to create a fanfic instead of building a completely new world, since I'm still learning. I'm open to any tips or feedback about the story and looking forward to improving.

In the past, when demons nearly wiped humanity from the face of the earth, there were those who chose not to run. People who loved this world deeply enough to pay a price that should never have been asked of anyone. One of them was a hero whose name is no longer remembered by history—buried, erased, or perhaps deliberately forgotten. He did not die. He was sealed. Suspended between existence and oblivion, within a sanctuary designed to never be found—because the power he carried within him was far too dangerous to be set free, even by those who loved him. Five thousand years later, the seal broke. He remembered everything. The names of the people he loved. Their faces on the final day. The promises made on both sides—that their sacrifice would not be in vain, that the world left behind was still worth saving. He awakened with a hope that had endured for thousands of years, and for the first time after that long slumber, he breathed the air and looked upon the sky. And then he began to see the world that had truly been waiting for him.
