Ace had always harbored feelings for his childhood friend, only to have his heart shattered when he learned she was secretly in love with Duke. The betrayal left him disheartened, but nothing could have prepared him for what came next. That night, instead of waking up to another ordinary day, he opened his eyes in a completely different world—inside another man's body. Worse still, the first thing he heard upon waking was yet another rejection. Thrown into an unfamiliar land with a past he doesn't remember and a future he never planned for, Ace faces a choice: chase after love once more or embrace a new passion—one that comes in the form of an unexpected farming system. As he cultivates spirit crops and reaps rewards beyond imagination, he begins to wonder: perhaps love isn't found in a person, but in the soil, the growth, and the endless possibilities of the land. Will Ace sow the seeds of a new destiny, or will the echoes of rejection root him in the past?

The apocalypse is here, and it’s so overdone. Monsters? Check. Burning sky? Check. Random system that gives you powers but also wants your firstborn? Double check. In the middle of this mess are two guys who couldn’t be more mismatched if they tried: The Fool: A guy who’s spent his life perfecting the art of doing nothing. His resume includes “professional procrastinator”, “class clown”, “expert nap taker”, etc... Now he’s got to survive an apocalypse that didn’t even give him a heads-up. How rude. The Regressor: A guy who’s lived through the end of the world more times than he can count. Literally. Because he forgot. Now he’s just a brooding mess with a leather jacket and zero useful advice. When the fool realizes his classmate is a regressor, he’s like, “Great. I’m stuck with the guy who’s seen it all but remembers none of it. This’ll go well.” Yet, they will still group up and face trials that test their sanity more than their skills. But as the so-called End demands more blood and the regressor’s memories start to resurface, they realize the real apocalypse might be their inability to agree on where to hide. Fool: "Let’s hide in the basement!" Regressor: "Basements are death traps. We should go to the roof." Fool: "Roofs are for dramatic exits. I’m not dying for aesthetics!" Anyway, can a lazy dreamer and an amnesiac hero save the world? Probably not. But hey, at least they’ll have a good story to tell—if they survive. ________ __ Please note that this story is a work of fiction and a product of the author's imagination. It contains scenes of violence, death, and may not be suitable for all readers. It is intended for mature audiences only.

Lynn is both blessed and cursed, a man who walks the razor’s edge between mercy and cruelty. To some, he is a savior. To others, a monster. His choices are unfathomable—spare a murderer, slaughter the innocent, tear one family apart while leaving another untouched. "Must you kill the innocent villagers?" "Why did you save the murderer?" "Why my family and not theirs?" Desperation, fury, grief—people beg for answers, for justice, for fairness. But Lynn only chuckles, his gaze sharp and unyielding, amusement flickering beneath his words. "Why? Because I can. And because it’s interesting this way." He plays with fate as though it were a mere game, weaving chaos and order with the same indifferent hand. But even the most controlled game has unforeseen consequences. And when the world starts pushing back—when his choices come for him—will he still walk the tightrope unshaken? Or will he finally stumble?

Working on the plots, will upload multiple in after I finish the whole. And, mainly, it'll be a new book.

DON’T READ THIS BOOK! I ALREADY WARNED YOU. LIKE I SAID, THIS BOOK IS TRASH, AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO WRITE! My grammar’s terrible, my sentences are a mess, and honestly, I don’t even know why you’re still reading this synopsis. If you continue, you’ll probably regret it. Your eyes might burn from the sheer awfulness of this story. You might question why you ever thought picking this up was a good idea. So, take my advice: put this book down and walk away. Or, don’t… if you’re into strange, chaotic, and wildly unpredictable adventures written by someone who absolutely doesn’t know what they’re doing. Either way, don’t say I didn’t warn you! P.S. You’ve already read this far, so maybe you’re as curious as I was clueless when I started writing this…

A young maiden from another world foretold by ancient prophesy, destined to collect the seven keys and save the world. Surely that's the kind of story that finds some plucky high schooler dreaming of adventure and whisks them off to find their true love, right? Overworked salary women like Emily have long passed the point where such fantasies can come true, and even if they did, it's not like she'd know the first thing about what to do. ...So of course, nobody even bothered to ask her before dropping her into an entirely new world full of magic and danger. Like the three hungry orcs eyeing her as soon as she wakes up. "What do you mean I can sense the keys if I use magic?! What magic?!" If Emily could, she'd have immediately issued a rejection letter, but unfortunately, the only way back is to finish her quest somehow. But it's not all danger and confusion. The knight who rushed into battle to save her is charming and kind and gorgeous, and the beautiful and lonely prince has a soft and kind smile only for her. If everyone she meets along the way is like them... Well. It can't be that bad, right? "...--I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED BY A PAINTING?!"

Unexpectedly, he woke up in the body of his younger self. However, he soon discovered that the world he had arrived in was completely different from Earth.

No questionable things, all normal 18+ kinks. I am a big believer in enjoyment on both sides, so the erotic scenes will never be one sided.

[DROPPED] Alex Lee was just an ordinary office worker, a "salary man" as many would say, clocking in from 9 to 5 almost every day. The only thing that added some excitement to his otherwise monotonous life was his passion for idols. He was a bonafide idol otaku, someone who adored the entertainment phenomena of female group singers. As usual, he was gearing up to attend the weekly weekend concert of his favorite idol group, but... something unexpected happened, and he found himself summoned to another world! Thrown into an unfamiliar realm, Alex thought he was destined to become a hero in a fantasy world. However... to his surprise, he discovered that he had been summoned by the Demon Kingdom, who sought his aid in conquering their world?! Not only that, the Job / Class that he got in this new world: rather than wielding a sword and battling monsters as the might 'Hero', Alex instead got an odd "Job" called 'Idol Producer'!?! Now, Alex must rely on this odd "Job" of his to not only surviving in this unfamiliar magical world but also to create an Idol Group capable of captivating the entire world. Conquer the world with (Idol) Love & Peace!

Linggis Joe, a hybrid class hunter specializing in both support and swordsmanship, had one goal in life: stay under the radar and live comfortably. Despite being a skilled swordsman, he intentionally downplayed his abilities to maintain his role as a support, avoiding attention from superiors who might assign him to high-profile parties filled with Rank S hunters. For Linggis, fame, rank promotions, or extra money were unnecessary. The steady salary of a Rank A hunter was more than enough. Linggis spent most of his days analyzing the lives of Rank S and SS hunters through social media or observing them during raids—not out of admiration, but to ensure he stayed far away from their chaotic world. All he wanted was a quiet, predictable life without the burden of joining elite parties or dealing with the responsibilities that came with them. But his peaceful existence shattered during a raid. A spear, thrown by a renowned hunter, ricocheted off a monster and flew toward him. In his attempt to avoid it, Linggis fell into a deep abyss within the dungeon. When he woke up, he was no longer in his world. His system had been replaced with the Pure System, resetting all his levels to zero. Now, he couldn’t rely on the usual methods of leveling up; instead, he had to improve through conventional means like training and perseverance. To make matters worse, the system had assigned him the role of a villain. If he refused, the system would kill him. Trapped in this new reality, Linggis Joe must confront heroes sent to stop him while trying to navigate a world that despises him. Can Linggis Joe survive in a world that demands his downfall? Or will he succumb to the villainous role forced upon him?
