Altered reality

Our protagonist was an ordinary guy with an aspiration to be called hero, yet people mistook his actions. Until one day he woke up to find himself in the very world of an anime he watched for the first time. But he isn't the protagonist, instead, he's a minor bullied character who never even appeared in the series. Determined not to get involved with the main characters for fear of changing the plot, he plans to stay in the background to plan for his future and let the protagonist handle everything. However, fate has a different surprise for him. As events unfold, he realizes that he may have a bigger role to play than he ever imagined. Can he navigate this new reality without altering the story, or will he have to step up to shoulder the responsibility he took upon himself? Discover the twists and turns in this fresh new Rom-com series Altered Reality. Note: Please endure the slow pace in the first couple of chapters, it gets interesting as the story unfold, trust me ;). Note: This story is heavily inspired by the anime Re:zero and the manhwa Webtoon character Na Kang Lim, both are awesome, give it a try if you haven't yet. You can call it a rip off version of them, if you please, LMAO. But hey, this story has it's own plot, objective, goal, characters, and ending, which i hope you will find enjoyable. And if you do, please support it to the least you can, thanks. Note: I am extremely, because of my own stupidity i had to delete the previous book, and even got many chapters deleted, now i have to write those deleted chapters all over again T_T. But on the bright side, i could improve the quality of those deleted chapters 13-19.

Despite his poor background, he had managed to rise steadily from the lowest rank of a Private to the youngest and one of the most respected Generals in his country.

Then, Keira added in her hoarse sweet voice, “I will enter the Military Academy to conquer you, General Zach. So be ready, because I never take a ‘NO’ for an answer.” That was the last words that Keira dropped before she closed the gap and kissed Zach on his lips, leaving him just staring at her in bewilderment... =========== Author's Note: Hope you enjoy reading this ORIGINAL novel of mine.

Neon Shadows - Memories of Sin

In the shadow-soaked alleys of a city where memories are both currency and weapon, burned-out detective Maxwell Hartwell is known for his unique immunity to memory extraction, a trait that marks him as both an asset and an outcast. When enigmatic Elena Voss approaches him to investigate the murder of Victor Kane, a top memory trader renowned for his ruthless ambition, Max is drawn into a web of deceit that permeates the highest echelons of society. Max's investigation leads him deep into the underbelly of the memory trade, where human experiences are bought and sold to the highest bidder, altering personalities and histories at will. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, he's forced to contend with his former partner, Detective Sarah Lim, who walks a thin line between law enforcement and moral compromise. Throughout his journey, Max is aided by the Archivist, a secretive figure who trades in illicit memories, providing Max with information that cannot be obtained by conventional means. As Max delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a disturbing truth: Victor Kane's death is merely the surface of a much larger conspiracy that threatens to topple the precarious balance of power within the city. His investigation reveals a sinister plot to control the memory market, orchestrated by figures that blur the line between friend and foe. Haunted by fragments of his own inaccessible past, Max must navigate through layers of betrayal and manipulation, confronting painful truths about himself and those he once trusted. The closer he gets to solving the murder, the more entangled he becomes in a struggle for power that will define the future of memory itself. With the city on the brink of chaos, Max is faced with a choice that will not only determine his own fate but also the fate of a society where memories can be rewritten at will. As alliances shift and secrets are unearthed, Max must decide whether to continue protecting a world that has forsaken him or forge a new path that could lead to redemption—or ruin.

Madbound: Healer's Bane

Amidst an apocalyptic virus, Alona Lim had always been fond of blood and needles. She's considered to be a one in a million genius young doctor. However, she made a decision that had endangered humanity's only hope for survival—risking the last prototype vial on her best friend Harold. Being the risk taker that she was, Alona took even the slimmest chance of her best friend's survival despite the consequences it bear, only to wake up anew in another body. Alona, who was now named as Vera, swore she'll never get involved with medicine ever again and will enjoy her new life with much more action instead of grinding herbs and learning anatomies. But, seeing how these new people have terrible medical services, much less hygiene, had been sending her wits to the edge. Living in a patriarchal kingdom was already stressful as it was, but seeing how years of unbrushed teeth smooch, months of unshowered people shamelessly walk around, cooking ingredients from rat-infested food storage, and everything that checks off of the bucket list on how to spread a plague fast makes her OCD screech the shit out of her system. Medicine was easy, however, there were also different kinds of people who were fond of blood and needles—the "demonic" witches. Being born as a noble lady, the only reason they must get involved with needles are sewing and embroidery. Medical practitioners are only for the men, the "only logical beings." Witchcraft was a big taboo and considered as demonic practice that were associated with women who disobeys their father or husband. Once discovered that one practices witchcraft awaits nothing but grave punishments. But it does not help much when she's straight-up wayward with a calloused heart. As much as Alona shows potential as a medicine practitioner, she had to keep her male disguise, if not, more and more people will rise suspicion with her erudition to heal.

Most of the hotels she designs are for her family. Odette's family owns the top five-star hotel and restaurant in the country and a construction firm that Odette's dad has owned for years. Odette was an intelligent and fearless type of girl. She was even part of a Taekwondo team when she was in middle school. Odette was the eldest child of the Lim family. Her dad was known for being strict when it came to business. But Odette was a daddy's girl; she got everything she wanted, but not in her father's deal with Mr. Lopez. Her father dared to seal the deal about marriage with the son of her business partner. Odette had no intention of falling in love with her soon-to-be husband. Even though she can make herself feel good, she knew the deal was just for business. She partied all night with her friends just to feel relieved about how her situation would be framed in the future without having the right to decide for herself. Kiel Calvin Lopez was a well-known billionaire actor and model. In his generation, he was known as the "Supreme Idol" for being the top endorser of luxury brands. His films were blockbusters. Together with his co-actor and real-life girlfriend, their love team was incredible. Kiel had a cold personality, and most of the people around him thought his arrogance just came from his wealth and fame. They don't realize he's doing it to avoid making his girlfriend jealous of other girls. Kiel was the eldest son of the Lopez family; he had a twin who was completely different from him. Kiel was the obedient son and the future face of the Lopez Group of Companies. He will take over his father's multinational corporation. Everyone knows that Kiel is next in line as chairman and CEO of the company, yet he wants to pursue his dream of being an international actor. Will he choose to marry someone he knew he had never loved as an obedient son?  Sloan Payne is an actress and model. Even though she was a great actress, some of her haters called him a "wannabe," and another fan thought she just used Kiel because before he entered the entertainment industry he already had a name because of his dad. Sloan was not from a wealthy family, just like Kiel. But she proved to a lot of people that she was not just famous because of her boyfriend but also because she had talent. But will Sloan agree to the idea that her boyfriend will not be her husband in the future and that she should get married to another girl just for business? When will her love be able to fight for their relationship?  In the marriage of two people, what disaster will it be if there is an intruder? Who will he have to choose between her wife and her girlfriend? Will they still have time to realize they've fallen in love with each other, or will it be too late to express their feelings? Will it be Kiel who falls in love with Odette? He was already aware of his feelings for his girlfriend, Sloan. But will he be aware of what he will feel over Odette? Or should he just ignore it because his mind still tells him it's Slovene? It will be too late for Kiel to discover it, or will he make a move to make things right between him and Odette? Or was it Odette who would realize she was slowly falling for her husband? She had a feeling Kiel already belonged to someone else. Despite my best efforts to keep feelings away from him, she never knew what her heart was saying. Will she fight her love for Kiel or let it go? Is it worth fighting for? Will she choose what will make her happy or not?
