A ruthless corporate strategist wakes up in a mud-filled trench during the Crimean War, inside the disgraced body of Captain Alistair Peregrine Finchley. Branded a coward. Hated by London. Assets frozen. Empire wants him hanged. Finchley wants tea. Now stuck in an alternate Victorian Britain era with only a sarcastic, old-fashioned “Gentleman’s Ledger” and his battlefield instincts, Finchley sets one goal, Retire in peace. Preferably rich. Definitely far away from cannon fire. But peace is expensive. And the empire is on sale. So he does what any disgraced noble with a modern MBA and a sniper with math-based hearing would do... turn a slum pawnshop into an intelligence network, and recruits a squad of misfits. While they do the dirty work, Finchley delegates, invests, and drinks tea. But retirement isn't so easy to outsource, especially when the gentleman ledger he carries mysteries of its own. And the Empire? It’s about to go on the market. "War? No, thank you. I’m building a pension."

Kaito was just an ordinary office worker—overworked, under-caffeinated, and nursing back pain from a chair he swore he’d replace six months ago. His only escape? Fantasy novels, strong tea, and the quiet hum of a café on a rare peaceful morning. Then came the blinding light. Now? He’s been accidentally summoned to a divine realm by a flustered priestess who mixed up the magical paperwork and pulled in the wrong guy. Oops. Stranded in a world not meant for him, Kaito finds himself face-to-face with a radiant Dragon Goddess named Aurelya—who can’t return him home, but offers him a blessing and a chance to start over in the magical land of Aurethria. Granted the unique skill Scholar’s Insight, which lets him read and understand all magical languages and ancient texts, Kaito begins his new life as a sixteen-year-old bookworm with no combat skills—but an overpowered brain. Can a sarcastic, tea-loving introvert survive in a world of scrolls, spells, and dragons? Can he keep his head down long enough to avoid divine attention? And will the Dragon Goddess ever stop feeling guilty for yeeting the wrong guy across dimensions? A slow-burn, slice-of-life isekai full of magic, mishaps, and unexpected bonds. Because sometimes, saving the world starts with being a cosmic mistake.

Zara Everleigh just wants to nap. Seriously. That’s all. She’s filthy rich, but nobody knows it. To the world, she’s just the lazy girl next door in oversized hoodies, sipping bubble tea and minding her own business.

And the internet is obsessed with “the mystery girl.” Too bad Zara has no time for love. She’s too busy hiding her billion-dollar secret—and avoiding all human interaction.

This is a story about a boy who suffered from sickness and was chosen by an all powerful system to reincarnate into another world where the impossible exists.

In a reality governed not by gods or governments, but by hidden “Paths” of power buried deep within the psyche, six prodigious minds awaken across six fractured worlds. Each is a genius. Each is broken. Each is bound to a different truth. From cybernetic underworlds and holy empires to collapsing warzones and mirror dreamscapes, a Spiral turns—quietly, violently, endlessly. What begins as isolated crises in parallel worlds becomes a singular war for the fate of all existence, orchestrated by unseen architects and ancient mechanisms that feed on choice, guilt, and transformation. Every Path grants power. Every step warps the soul. And to reach the Spiral’s end, they must either master themselves—or lose everything to themselves. Their ideologies will clash. Their bonds will twist. And one among them will rewrite the meaning of power, identity, and truth itself.

Unfortunately, being an all-powerful Demon King comes with responsibilities, annoying subordinates, and heroic idiots who won’t leave him alone. Between dodging war declarations and dealing with demons who expect him to be some ruthless tyrant, Magnus has one simple goal: Drinking tea and lazing around. But with old memories creeping in, mysterious voices in his head, and an entire world expecting him to be either their savior or destroyer… will he really get to enjoy his tea break? ----------------------- i will be posting this in Royalroad --- This book is a work of fiction.

Lin Feng thought he'd just fallen asleep during a movie night. Instead, he woke up in a world of spirit beasts, qi cultivation, and ancient sects… with his mom standing beside him—barefoot, smiling, and cuddling a rabbit plushie like this was a family picnic. Welcome to the Eastern Realms: where teenagers throw mountains, clans fight over bloodlines, and everyone seems weirdly obsessed with sword techniques and destiny. Lin Feng doesn’t care. He’s got one goal: keep his mother safe. Even if that means punching geniuses, glaring at princesses, and carrying her up sacred staircases like it’s just another Tuesday. Li Meixiu, meanwhile, is just trying to understand why strangers keep calling her "divine" and why her son now breaks stone with his abs. Also, tea. She’d really like some tea. As sects scheme and heirs flirt (with both of them), one thing becomes clear: This world may have spirit beasts, sword saints, and trials that shatter minds… But it’s not ready for a mother-son duo like this.

The Era of Clothing explores the evolution of human society through the lens of clothing—from the early days of humanity when the body was unadorned, to the modern era where clothing is a symbol of self-expression, power, and societal expectation. The story delves into how clothing shifted from a basic necessity for survival to a complex symbol of identity, status, and control. As humans evolve, so does their relationship with their clothes—once practical, now a form of art, expression, and sometimes, oppression. The novel challenges the reader to consider: In a world where we are free to choose what we wear, are we truly liberated—or have we simply become prisoners to the expectations woven into the fabric of society?

Daily dose of my personal yapping. The title was suggested by my keybord, I almost choked on my tea.

Lui Ming died at 26. Not tragically heroic. Not beautifully poetic. Just… dead. A car accident, a blank expression, and no last words. Born with alexithymia, Lui Ming never quite figured out emotions—his or anyone else’s. Smiling at funerals? Accidentally. Crying during sitcoms? Never happened. Doctors called him emotionally detached. His aunt called him “a misunderstood sweetie.” Strangers just called security. But heaven, in its infinite sarcasm, gave him a second chance. Waking up in a cultivation world where people fly on swords and explode from spicy qi, Lui Ming finds himself in the body of a disgraced young noble—abandoned by his family, hated by the servants, and gifted with severe OCD. The original owner was one tantrum away from being assassinated. And Lui Ming, who just wanted to take naps in peace, realizes something quickly: He has no plot armor. No golden finger. No system. Just his medical degree, a blank face, and tea cups that must be aligned. To survive, he needs to cling to a powerful golden thigh. But there’s just one tiny issue. He has no idea how to blend in.

The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother. Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~

Nations in Asia unite under fragile climate pacts. And across it all, a single law binds the broken world together: No one uses Surge powers. Not anymore. Not after what happened last time. But when the mutilated body of a masked vigilante is discovered in the slums of New Delhi, old ghosts begin to rise. Secret organizations move in the shadows. Forgotten powers awaken. And a mysterious underground group called The Null Signal begins broadcasting a forbidden truth: “The Accord was a lie. The Surge never ended. And the real war is just beginning.”

In the fog-choked city of Vullum, death blooms in silence. Lenora is an apothecary wrapped in ritual scars and silk—a masked woman cursed to feel the hearts of others with a single touch. Feared by the living, haunted by forgotten rites, she walks the streets like a myth wearing gloves. When bodies begin appearing with no wounds—only expressions of overwhelming sorrow and spider lilies blooming from their chests—Lenora is forced into an uneasy alliance with Dorian Vale, a cynical investigator with ice-blue eyes and secrets deeper than his sarcasm. Together, they unravel a string of deaths that echo a ritual buried in Lenora’s own past. A past tied to a boy named Cassian. A moon that bled. And a vow whispered by something not quite human. As the city turns against them, and the dead begin to remember, Lenora and Dorian must confront the truth behind the Heartbinder rite—before love becomes the final curse.
