Card Apprentice Daily Log

Dalton Wyatt, a world-renowned scientist and inventor, is transmigrated into the body of a high school student, also named Dalton Wyatt, who had tragically committed suicide due to unfortunate circumstances and a complicated life. The enchanting world of cards he finds himself in is vastly different from Earth, yet eerily similar in certain aspects. Unlike the peaceful Earth, where humans fought only amongst themselves, this new world is plagued by dungeons and monsters. Here, humanity's survival hinges on battling these mythical and legendary creatures. Ordinary mortals lack the strength to stand against such formidable foes. Thankfully, a select few are blessed with the ability to harness their souls, manifest soul power, and become card apprentices—humanity’s last hope against extinction. Card apprentices are individuals who form contracts with grimoires, mystical artifacts that allow them to wield powerful and versatile cards to fend off monsters and conquer dungeons. A grimoire provides card apprentices with abilities such as card creation and card fusion. Most importantly, it enables them to unlock their full potential in card battles. While this world shares the concept of science with Earth, its focus is not on electronics or industrialization. Instead, cards replace the need for most technologies, fulfilling even the smallest of daily necessities. This world revolves entirely around the grimoire’s abilities, particularly card creation and card fusion. Transmigrated to a place where strength can be bought with money, Dr. Wyatt is forced to earn a living to ensure his survival. Fortunately, with his otherworldly knowledge and expertise, card creation comes naturally to him, setting him apart from other card apprentices. Dr. Wyatt crafts and sells perfect, powerful, and resourceful cards, steadily growing stronger in this monster-ridden world. --- "What did you say? Making good cards is hard? Bah! Card creation is a breeze." "My friend, let me enlighten you—there are no 'trash card ingredients,' only incompetent card creationists."

I couldn’t possibly have woken up today—this has to be a dream!"

[BL] The System Runs on Magic

༺❘✦ Ryo thought moderating online fan drama about Llewellyn, the world's most famous hero, was the worst part of his job...

He also didn't expect the Internet to start shipping them! And he certainly didn't expect the System's idea of "combat partner" to involve an absurd amount of physical contact disguised as Healing Bonuses, shared body heat, Dungeon environments that look like dates, or being randomly teleported onto Llewellyn's lap! Llewellyn might be the strongest person on Earth, but he has no one to watch his back.

My Wife Refused To Cultivate, So I Took The Saintess As A Concubine

"Sleep on the floor. Don't look at me. And don't you dare think about touching me. I only married you to silence the Ministers." "Understood. Just to clarify—this means our assets and private lives are separate, correct?" "Hah! As if a piece of trash like you has a 'private life.' Yes, do whatever you want. Just don't embarrass me." "Deal." Li Ye was not a normal man. In his first life, he was a ruthless CEO on Earth who viewed emotions as inefficiencies. In his second life, he was the First Heavenly Demon, the man who invented the Unorthodox Path and bathed the continent in blood before perishing under the Heavens' Tribulation. Now, he has reincarnated 3,000 years into the future. The bad news? He is in the body of a cripple with zero cultivation base, married to the Empire's most arrogant (and beautiful) Princess who despises him. The good news? He possesses the Karma System, rewarding him for diverging from his past life's path of slaughter. But Li Ye has a problem. To fix his crippled body, he needs Yin Essence. His wife refuses to perform the dual cultivation rites. She is saving herself for a "Supreme Genius." Li Ye, a man of logic, does not beg. He simply finds a new supplier. At a dusty slave auction, while others see a sick, dying girl with a cursed constitution, Li Ye sees a goldmine. He buys the fallen Ice Saintess for pennies. He cures her. He takes her as a Concubine. While the Princess waits for her imaginary genius to save her, she watches her "trash husband" and his "slave girl" grow stronger by the day. And when the aura of a Supreme Demon lord finally erupts from the guest courtyard, the Princess realizes she made the worst business deal in history. "Husband... I was wrong. Tonight, I am willing to—" "Take a number," Li Ye replied coldly, not looking up from his tea. "The Concubine is first in line."

Billionaire's Spoiled Heiress

Heath Villamor leaves his quiet provincial life and widowed mother behind to work in Manila as a bodyguard for Caprice Montemayor—the only daughter of Don Crisostomo Montemayor, one of the most powerful billionaires in the country. Heath accepts the job not for ambition, but out of debt and gratitude; Don Crisostomo once saved Heath’s family from losing their farmland. Raised with discipline, faith, and restraint, Heath believes in honor, boundaries, and saving himself for the woman he will marry. Caprice, on the other hand, lives by impulse. Beautiful, wealthy, and emotionally neglected, she masks her loneliness with pleasure, alcohol, and men who never stay. From the moment they meet, they clash. Caprice finds Heath infuriating—he doesn’t flirt, doesn’t react, and refuses to be intimidated by her wealth or beauty. Heath finds Caprice difficult, reckless, and dangerously tempting, yet he cannot bring himself to judge her. Beneath her sharp tongue and provocative behavior, he senses pain she never admits. As days turn into weeks, proximity turns into tension. Caprice toys with Heath out of curiosity, then desire, then obsession. Heath struggles with temptation while trying to protect Caprice from both physical danger and herself. Everything collapses one reckless night when alcohol and a hidden stimulant strip Heath of his control. Boundaries shatter. Heath wakes up beside the woman he swore never to touch. For Heath, it is sin, guilt, and betrayal of his principles. For Caprice, it is the beginning of something she refuses to lose. What begins as a mistake becomes a secret arrangement fueled by desire, manipulation, and unspoken emotions. Heath fights to pull away, while Caprice tightens her grip using fear, power, and her father’s authority to keep him close. But control is not love. As truths unravel about consent, trauma, class divide, and emotional dependence both are forced to confront who they are and who they want to become. In a world ruled by money and power, can love born from a mistake ever be redeemed?
