Downfalling

The adventure of a modern day detective turned aristocrat

Ari Kang, a sharp-witted detective from modern-day Korea, is renowned for her unrelenting pursuit of justice. With a mind rivaling Sherlock Holmes, she navigates the labyrinth of crime with an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries. But when a frustrating cold case leads her to seek solace in an old detective novel, fate plays a cruel joke—she wakes up inside its pages. Now trapped in the body of Lady Evelyne, the fallen daughter of a disgraced duke, she finds herself in a world of Victorian-style aristocracy, ruthless power plays, and a society where murder is disguised behind silken smiles. To make matters worse, she’s no longer just an observer—her original character was meant to die, serving as nothing more than a footnote in the book’s protagonist’s journey. Refusing to accept her fate, Evelyne sets out to rewrite the narrative, using her detective instincts to navigate the treacherous halls of nobility. But her investigations draw the attention of an enigmatic prince—the fifth in line to the throne—whose golden eyes hold secrets as deep as her own. As alliances shift and hidden enemies lurk in the shadows, Evelyne must untangle a web of conspiracies, solve murders that weren’t meant to happen, and uncover the truth behind her own family’s tragic downfall. But one question looms over her: if this is a book, can she ever escape? And if she does… does she even want to? A thrilling blend of mystery, intrigue, and slow-burning romance, The Adventures of a Modern-Day Detective Turned Aristocat is a tale where the detective becomes both the hunter and the hunted in a world where survival depends on wit, charm, and a well-placed deduction.

Extra Survival Life

When Eren Harlow wakes up in the body of Raynor Velcroft, a third-rate villain from his favorite fantasy novel, The Sovereign Chronicles, he knows he’s been dealt a bad hand. Raynor is notorious for his arrogance and selfishness, and his story is one of humiliation and failure. Things take a turn for the worse when he’s expelled from the academy dorms for harassing one of the novel’s heroines, leaving him homeless and an outcast on campus. Eren, however, isn’t like the original Raynor. Calm, collected, and determined to survive, he decides to avoid the villain’s downfall and live a quiet life.

From crafting shelters and gathering resources to setting traps and hunting for food, he transforms his exile into an opportunity for self-reliance.

But staying out of trouble isn’t easy when the story’s main characters—heroes, villains, and love interests—keep crossing paths with him. With the forest harboring hidden dangers and the Survival System occasionally issuing cryptic and risky tasks, Eren must balance his desire for peace with the challenges of a world that seems determined to drag him into the spotlight. Will Eren be able to rewrite his fate and live quietly as an extra? Or will the academy’s politics, secrets, and his new role in the story force him into the chaos he wants to avoid?
