Jesse Baron

The Reverie of the Crimson Widow

"My name is Isolde von Adalbrecht... or is it? I can’t quite remember." Once a barefoot country girl named Liesel Maren, she was plucked from obscurity and renamed, her past erased, her voice softened, her will reshaped. Groomed by the mysterious and cruel Archduke Otto von Adalbrecht under the watchful eye of his kind sister Elsa, Isolde is thrust into the shadowy world of noble politics, court masks, and dangerous secrets. But her quiet life as a duchess shatters after the Crimson Veil Massacre, a bloodstained wedding that leaves five noble children orphaned and Isolde as their legal guardian. Her appointment as head of House von Adalbrecht sparks outrage among the aristocracy, whispers from the Church, and veiled threats from the royal court. The children, heirs to a great fortune and legacy, resent her, viewing her as a usurper in silks. Surrounded by spies, manipulated by the Empress, and shadowed by The Order, a faceless elite faction answering only to the Crown. Isolde must survive a court built on secrets, lies, and the ever-present gaze of the obsessive Crown Prince Hadrian. Amidst it all, Baron Étienne Montclair stands by her side, offering subtle loyalty and an unspoken love she cannot return. But Isolde never wanted power. She only ever wanted peace. And yet, to protect the children she never bore but came to love, she must play the part of the perfect noblewoman, until the day she can quietly leave it all behind. As her past begins to claw its way back, and as the eldest child, Friedrich, comes of age, Isolde faces a final choice: reclaim her identity and freedom… or be consumed by the very title that once saved her.

An Extra's POV: My Three Fiancees Hate Me

Discord:https://discord.gg/VVhNsRjm "Who would have thought that one ordinary review could instantly fuck your life? Definitely not me" ****** Luke was your average teenage boy—with an unhealthy obsession for light novels. After finishing a new read titled “The Hero’s Obsessed Harem,” he jumped online to post a review. His biggest issue? The so-called “hero” kept stealing other men’s love interests, and somehow, the story praised him for it. Right after posting the review, he got an odd reply from the author: “You think my book is flawed? I’ll make you regret that.” Luke brushed it off as a salty writer who couldn’t handle criticism—until everything went dark. The next time he opened his eyes, he was in the body of Riven Von Grave, the fourth son of the low-ranking Grave baron family—an irrelevant extra in The Hero’s Obsessed Harem. Riven was a forgotten character, engaged to three duke’s daughters since childhood, only for all three to abandon him for the so-called hero. And to make matters worse, he was fated to die in a war against demons—utterly forgotten. But Luke isn’t having any of it. Screw fate. Screw the plot. And most of all, screw the author who threw him into this mess. Armed with a mysterious system and pure spite, Riven is going to rewrite his destiny, and win back his fiancées as well. But with every change Riven makes, he changes the story, and pulls a calamity bigger than the demons toward them. What will he do when he realizes the impending doom, will he be able to fix his own mistakes?

New World, New Life: I Became A Bigshot In The Ancient World

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "Fuck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

Phantom Weaver of the Veiled Eclipse

Inola was just your typical beast kin orphan—ears too sharp, stomach too empty, and dreams far too big for the crumbling orphanage she called home. The place was run by a greasy baron with a combover and a crooked smile, who made sure the kids knew the value of silence, obedience, and cheap labor. But today—today was her thirteenth birthday. And somehow, today also happened to be the day she found herself standing in a line stretching halfway across the capital, clutching a ticket made of black silk and gilded gold leaf. Her fingers trembled just holding it. Everyone else in line stared like she’d grown wings and started breathing fire. She still didn’t know how this happened. All she did was help a sweet old lady cross the road yesterday. The carts had been fast, the rain had been pouring, and she’d nearly slipped twice. But the old lady had smiled, warm as cinnamon bread, and handed her the strange ticket without another word before disappearing into the alleyways. It wasn’t until this morning that Inola learned who that old woman was. The former Queen of Vaerindale. Disguised and wandering the city for her own mysterious reasons. And that ticket? A personal invitation—one of only thirteen—to enter the newly discovered Mythic Dungeon before anyone else. A dungeon no one had survived exploring. A dungeon rumored to contain Essence Stones—ancient artifacts of unimaginable power, used to forge custom classes with limitless potential. And Inola, ragged boots and patched coat and all, was going in as a scout. Well… whatever. Life hadn’t exactly offered her many handouts before, so this? This was a miracle. And she wasn’t about to waste it. Her claws flexed. Her tail twitched with anticipation. “I’m going to make a better life for myself. Even if I have to claw it out of the dungeon with my bare hands.” Read as this fox kin becomes the most powerful illusion-type classer as she masters how to bend reality with her Phantom Weaver of the Veiled Eclipse class.

Save the World? I'm Too Lazy

For Lucian, who had lived a life full of betrayal, reincarnating into the world of the fantasy novel "Hero x Sword" wasn't a second chance—it was a grand annoyance to his desire for a quiet life. Reborn as Alaric Valerius, the son of a minor baron destined to be executed by the world's hero, he refuses to resign himself to such a troublesome fate. His goal is simple: to live his second life with maximum laziness and absolute peace. However, to escape this destiny and finally achieve the peace he craves, he is forced to do the most inefficient and forbidden thing imaginable: kill the world's symbol of hope, "The Saint of Solian." But this action tears the script of fate apart. The hero's death doesn't bring him the peace he craved. Instead, it awakens a new shadow that never existed in the original story. Strange, dark incidents begin to occur across the kingdom, heralding a far greater and more ominous disaster. Now, Alaric is the world's most wanted fugitive, though no one knows his identity. Led by Set de Medeiros—the grieving Minister of War and the hero's uncle—the kingdom's entire military might is deployed to hunt down the mysterious assassin. At the same time, Alaric is the only person who realizes the world is beginning to deviate from the novel's plot, with a new, unexpected threat on the rise. Hiding behind the mask of a lazy student who would rather sleep in class than train, Alaric must use all of his cunning to survive the greatest manhunt in the kingdom's history. It was all incredibly exhausting for him, but the prospect of death was a far greater annoyance than the effort required to live. Will his identity as the hero's killer be revealed? Can a man whose greatest motivation is laziness be forced to save the world? And in a world that has lost its light, what dangers await in the newborn darkness?
