Fifty Shades Of Shades

I died run over by a truck. Yeah, I know... "How original!" you’re probably thinking. But hey, it’s not my fault the isekai industry has a partnership with transportation companies. The truly weird part came after: I didn’t reincarnate as a prince, a dragon, or even a humble slime with plot armor. Nope. I became a tree. Literally. With roots, branches, and a trunk that not even Instagram filters can fix. And to top it all off (or rather, cherry blossom it), I’ve got a system that calls me “Host” and says I need to found the Sakura Clan, a legendary organization where all members are ridiculously beautiful and smell like flowers. My job? Bond humans to the clan using a technique that turns ordinary people into floral demigods. Basically, I’m a divine tree with the soul of an HR manager. All this in a world of mages, knights, martial artists, kingdoms inspired by ancient civilizations and... way too many creative ways to die. I just wanted to read novels and drink coffee, not lead a cult that smells like spring. But hey… If I’m going to be a tree, I might as well bloom with style. Sigh. I just wanted to sleep under the shade… not be the shade. P.S. My native language is not English. If you find any errors, please point them out so I can correct them. Thank you very much for your time. (This is my first book.)

This red dragon came from the vast wilderness, coveting all the powers of the world. He has held countless titles: Mountain Fury, Purgatorial Calamity, Red Emperor, Ember Dragon… The world trembles under the shadow of the great dragon. He ignited the surge of the magical industrial revolution. In the empire he established, wyverns roar, cannon fire resounds, steel behemoths appear in the sky and on the earth, and disasters from other worlds run rampant. “Submit, or die.” Cassius spread his sky-shading wings, looking down upon the trembling humans, elves, and dwarves beneath him, and spoke thus. ……… A story of a red dragon with a built-in player template conquering, ruling, and transforming another world. (Pseudo D&D, Fourth Catastrophe, Red Dragon)

Welcome to the abandoned carnival where the laughter died long ago. In the heart of a decaying city stands "The Crimson Playground," an amusement park abandoned decades ago after a series of gruesome disappearances. It’s a place steeped in myth and whispered horrors, painted in shades of rust and dried blood. Elara, a sharp-witted investigator haunted by a past she'd rather forget, is drawn to the playground by a cryptic message tied to her missing sister. She doesn't believe in ghosts, but the playground believes in her. As Elara navigates the twisted rides and macabre attractions, she encounters Kael, a cynical former security guard obsessed with the park's history; and Jax, a charismatic but morally ambiguous hacker with a flair for the dramatic. What begins as a search for answers quickly descends into a terrifying fight for survival. The park is a living nightmare, where forgotten toys move with malicious intent, and the very ground hums with dark energy. The Crimson Playground isn't just abandoned; it's a trap designed to feed on fear and memory. Elara and her unlikely allies must unravel the sinister secrets of the playground's founder and the malevolent entity that controls it. They face psychological torments, physical threats, and the horrifying truth about the park's victims. Can they escape the supernatural clutches of The Crimson Playground before they become the next permanent exhibit in its gallery of despair?

In a world torn apart by a reason known to anyone who existed since the beginning of time, the two sides swirl amidst occurrences and survival. Somewhere lying amidst these two—somewhere deep-lying—is the bridge connecting these two repulsive races. A bridge may be what they are seen to be. But they are constantly placed in between not allowed to mix into any side. There's no black or white, just shades of grey. They are not a bridge. They do not belong to any part. They do not belong to each other. They are... Nexus.

But after a brutal raid leaves his village in ruins and awakens something ancient within him, Vrakon begins a slow, harrowing journey of survival, evolution, and self-discovery.

Clementine finds her world upended by a bizarre clause in her late grandfather's will. To inherit his legacy, a struggling but historically significant architectural firm, she must enter a temporary, high-stakes contract marriage with Rhys Sterling, the notoriously ruthless CEO of Sterling Innovations. Rhys needs Clementine's firm to complete a prestigious, city-defining project that will solidify his dominance. Their agreement is clear: a year of public pretense, no emotional entanglements, and a shared goal of professional success. It's a business deal, pure and simple, or so they tell themselves. From their first fiery encounter, Clementine and Rhys clash. She sees him as an arrogant, unfeeling corporate shark; he views her as an impulsive, impractical artist. Yet, forced into close quarters by the demands of their fake marriage and the complexities of the architectural project, their sharp banter slowly gives way to grudging respect. Kaelen's unconventional methods challenge Rhys's rigid control, while his unwavering support in unexpected moments chips away at her cynicism. As they navigate treacherous corporate rivals, scandalous rumors, and the suffocating expectations of high society, an undeniable, inconvenient attraction ignites. They discover hidden vulnerabilities, shared dreams, and a surprising passion that threatens to shatter the carefully constructed walls around their hearts. But when a long-buried secret from Rhys's past resurfaces, threatening to unravel their fragile bond and expose the truth of their contract, Kaelen and Rhys must decide if their unscripted love is strong enough to withstand the storm. This is a fast-paced, dialogue-rich tale of two stubborn souls who find love where they least expect it, proving that even the most ironclad contracts can't dictate the heart's true desires.
