Roni Loren Off The Clock

"In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a battlefield, how far would you go to protect your heart?" Lia Romano thought she had escaped the chains of her past. Once the cherished wife of Dante Moretti-Il Leone, the most ruthless billionaire in Milan-she walked away with nothing but her dignity and a secret too precious to share. Her divorce was a scandal whispered in every corner of high society, but no one knew the truth: that Lia was framed for a crime she didn't commit. Now, three years later, Lia has rebuilt her life as a celebrated marketing strategist, fiercely guarded by her seven overprotective brothers, all CEOs ruling Italy's most powerful industries. But when her new job forces her to work under Dante, old wounds resurface, and so does the undeniable spark between them. Dante's world is thrown into chaos when he discovers her secret-Matteo, the son he never knew he had. As Dante fights to reclaim the family he lost, he must also face a web of conspiracies threatening to destroy everything. From Vittoria Conti, the venomous socialite who dreams of becoming Mrs. Moretti, to Alessandra Ricci, the jealous colleague hell-bent on Lia's downfall, enemies lurk at every corner. With scheming villains, jealous rivals, and shocking betrayals, Lia and Dante's love story is anything but simple. Torn between her past and her future, Lia must decide: Can she forgive the man who broke her heart, or will the shadows of his world consume them both? Amid fiery boardroom battles, luxurious galas, and emotional confrontations, La Rosa e il Leone is a tale of redemption, family loyalty, and a love that refuses to fade—even when the odds are stacked against it. "He called her his rose, but roses have thorns—and this time, she wouldn't let him bleed her dry." Will Dante prove himself worthy of Lia's love? Or will the scheming forces around them tear them apart forever?

After his family and relatives, the next person to attend his funeral was his homeroom teacher and friends™, his murderer, and then a mysterious red-eyed crow. Said mysterious crow sucked his soul right out and offered him a better life than this. No, he still won't be a cutie princess, but he can be the next best thing after that. He was invited to transmigrate into different realities without any restrictions. It wasn't a Villain system, a Cannon fodder system... it doesn't belong to any category. Just experiencing the worlds should be enough to satisfy it. Furan Shi agreed with one condition. Filter: ‘Animal Characteristics’ System: Are you… sure about this?

I'm trying my best to make this as light-themed and fast-paced as possible for people like me who just wanted to relax, aka not much brain games... not much face slapping.. ehe..

Hi some of yall might recognize the cover, this is the redo of my old novel that I decided to stopped writing, I felt horrible for months after disappearing. Now I decided to continue and finish it. I hope my old readers come and find this book again. Below is the synopsis. A story of a boy name Vesper Nine who lives in a magical medieval world, dreaming of becoming a dragon knight to protect the land of Astafel from abyssal creatures and wicked dragons but after awakening his true power, the reality between worlds began to collapse.

In an infinite universe where eight regimes govern different aspects of existence, a central mechanism known as the "Nocturnal Clock" regulates the flow of time and destiny across 24 kingdoms. When the Clock begins to falter, the protagonist, a renowned social engineer with a calculating mind and a cold demeanor, is tasked with uncovering the cause of the growing chaos. As he delves deeper into the mysteries of the Clock, his investigation leads him to a hidden cult bent on unlocking the "Crypt of Aeons," a mythical place beyond human comprehension. The Crypt is said to hold the ultimate truth: existence is merely an illusion crafted by a cosmic mind, and the regimes, kingdoms, and even time itself are mere pieces in a grander design. The protagonist must navigate a labyrinth of betrayal, conspiracies, and self-discovery. Every answer he uncovers about the Crypt and the Clock draws him closer to a harrowing revelation: his own existence may be nothing more than a "cog" in a greater machine, created to serve an unseen purpose. But will he be able to bear the cost of uncovering the truth? Set against a backdrop of breathtaking landscapes and kingdoms where steampunk technology merges with magic, the story explores the boundaries of humanity, the psyche, and cosmic truths. Each step forward brings him closer to a point of no return, where evil can no longer be distinguished from good, and darkness becomes the only light.

So basically, I have reality manipulation. . .except it only works if people really believe in me. And, it doesn't work on me, only on others. Yup. You can already guess the chaos that ensues. + Jeez, why is the Heavenly Emperor calling me Master? And, is that the Sword Saint asking for my autograph? Wait, now I'm the herald of some eldritch cult? Seriously guys, I'm not as impressive as you think I am. Or, am I? + What to expect: Lots Of Comedic Misunderstandings (Like K*ng from One P*nch M*n), Overpowered side characters, gods, devils, the whole she-bang.
