[A/N: No smut. Moderate pacing, with a slight lean toward fast pacing to keep the story sharp and avoid dragging. Romance is secondary] ___ I transmigrated into a slow-paced action romance fantasy novel. You know the type. A naïve, righteous protagonist with a growing harem, invasive creatures to slaughter, a God to kill, and a guaranteed happy ending. And then there was the Mob villain. The jealous, exiled half-brother who goes full psycho, challenges the protagonist… and gets killed by his own fiancée. Yeah. That villain was me, Caelir Vayne. But everything changed when I awakened SSS class and three op skills. Cloning. Copy. Fusion. “…Wait. Isn’t this a little too overpowered?” But something’s wrong. Why isn’t the plot following the story? Why are events spiraling out of control? And worst of all… Why is my fiancée, the girl who killed me in the original story, now staring at me like I’m the only thing that exists? Hold on. They have a word for this kind of behavior. “…Don’t tell me... she’s a yandere?” ------------ Updates: 12 chapters per week. 1 chapter on Wednesday and Saturday, while 2 chapters on other days. ... I recommend reading the free chapters first before deciding whether to continue or leave the novel. Trust the process. The story is planned, and the payoff is worth it. ...

The story follows the adventure of the 12th Unit.

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYSNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

For four hundred years, Astraea has been stuck—not in traffic, but in a nap that lasted a little too long. She’s a 437-year-old Void Dragon who snoozed right through the end of magic and woke up… as a ten-year-old human girl. When magic tiptoes back into the world, so does Astraea! The peppy System that greets her gives a cheerful chime and proudly announces: *Classification: LUMINOUS CHILD *Tier: 0 *Power: Sparkle Specialist Now she’s learning “glow safety,” collecting gold-star stickers, and practicing her sparkles in a class called Cosmic Youth Awakening Program. It’s basically magical kindergarten. And after four centuries of waiting, snack time feels like a celebration. Her System thinks she’s a cute little glitch. Her teacher calls her “very imaginative.” Her doctor says she’s “just going through a growth spurt.” But every sticker she earns, every crayon she shares, every weird memory that pops up when she hears a certain song or smells a certain tea… is another clue that Astraea isn’t just growing up. She’s catching up. The world sees a sparkly kid with great glitter control. Her System sees a happy little anomaly. But under the arts-and-crafts and afternoon naps, an ancient, starry truth is waking up—one gold star, one nap, one dragon dream at a time. Some childhoods are just… extra long. And some kids have been waiting longer than your country’s existed.

It all started with a Book review… [To Kill A Demon Lord…] had everything; It had Magic, It had action, it had an abundance of interesting characters and—probably most important of all—it had Vampires. Kevin (Username: Kevin_The_Man) enjoyed the read. Stayed up to date with every chapter update and it quickly became his favorite Webnovel… That was until the Author killed off his favorite character, Caius Von Helsing, A Vampire Spawn who spent most of the story frustratingly resisting his Vampirism so as not to ‘become a Monster’. Kevin wrote a review expressing his dissatisfaction. So naturally, when the Author replied and asked for Kevin’s help in making a revised edition of the story, he quickly accepted… … Only to fall asleep and wake up in the world of [To Kill A Demon Lord…] as none other than his favorite character, Caius Von Helsing, the Vampire Spawn. Kevin—now Caius—quickly discovers that there is so much more involved in making a ‘revised edition’ of a novel than simply writing it. And that there are powerful forces that especially want Caius to die and stay dead… … But that death is still quite in the future so Kevin—now Caius—is quickly optimistic. He has a mission now; To enjoy the wonders this world has to offer—as the original character never would—by fully accepting and evolving his nature as a Vampire.
