The Lady Wants To Rest

Shoved into the backseat of his father's car right after graduation, Riley Hale ended up marching toward a company building with a bagged lunch and a pen. Still in his toga, the fresh graduate never thought he’d land in the office of the continent’s top lizard, err, dragon, as his aide. And that would’ve driven any person wishing for a corporate career to tears. After all, who wouldn’t want to serve the fastest ticket up the corporate ladder: Kael Dravaryn, the infamously elegant, unhinged, and extremely overpowered Dragon Lord of the continent? Well, that would be Riley. The same Riley who didn’t expect to spend his days dodging fireballs, dressing his boss in robes more complicated than dark magic, and serving as a literal target during morning sparring. Now trapped in a job he never truly agreed to, the hardworking aide decided to hold out until it was time for his glorious resignation. But leaving a dragon’s clutches could never be easy, especially one with elemental mastery and a finger worth a private army. Yet, as Riley, who longs to quit, attempts to navigate ancient politics, wyvern threats, and other accidents (many of which are definitely not his fault), he might just hallucinate himself into seeing something beneath his boss’s arrogance and molten glares. Maybe he’d actually care if Riley got turned to ash.

Part One: Where Thoughts Rest is a deeply personal collection of poems/story that offers a quiet space for emotion, reflection, and healing. Through themes of exhaustion, grief, invisibility, and resilience, these poems/story speak to the soul’s most tender moments — when the world feels too loud, too cruel, or too indifferent. Each piece is a resting place for thoughts that have long remained unspoken, capturing the ache of being misunderstood, the sorrow of a wounded Earth, and the quiet strength of still believing in love, hope, and the self. This is not just a collection — it’s a soft voice in the dark, reminding you that you are not alone. Let these words hold you. Let them remind you to breathe. Let them be the place where your thoughts, too, can finally rest.

Honesty.

Sequel to "Surrounded by the Darkness of the Past" The day Leon first appeared at his dream boarding school, he felt an unexplained connection to this place. The corridors of the “Gilbert” high school seemed familiar to him, although he had never been there before. The longer he spent in this place, the more and more questions arose in his head. Something was wrong and only Leon could feel it. Every night, he had realistic dreams that seemed to be memories of his previous life. No one would believe him if he had not met a peer — Nadia, whose parents spent time in this place in their youth. Only she believes what Leon says, especially when he tells her about terrifying hallucinations — the sight of the young General, which causes him a terrifying fear. The boy falls into madness, which his parents do not believe him in. Unable to leave this place, he can only count on the help of his friend. The Darkness That Waited for many years, is coming to finally complete what he was unable to do in the past.

It seems that my previous synopsis was not very clear, so here is the clarification: An ordinary man dies and has the opportunity to be reincarnated, but after making a mistake in front of the goddess or basically desecrating her in his thoughts, he is punished by being reborn as a woman. But later, he discovers a method to temporarily recover his male body (legacy of lust). However, his endless desire will be the least of his problems. This world is nothing like the fantasy he dreamed. “As for genres, there's a little bit of everything: Harem, Romance, Comedy, Yandere, Yuri, MILFs, Lolis, Elves, woman-beast, Demons, Dragons, Gigantes, Priestesses, Androids, incest, Group Action, Futa, a little bit of SM, and much more. If it captures your interest, great!!!”. Here is the original synopsis>>>>> "Wait, you turned me into a woman just because I imagined that? I didn’t know you could read minds—that’s not fair!" (He had defiled her in his imagination in five different ways, each worse than the last.) After his death, a goddess granted him reincarnation in another world. But his uncontrollable lust angered her, and as punishment, she turned him into a woman. "Stop!... Don’t make that choice," warned an old voice. Through an encounter beyond reason, he learns the truth: this world is nothing like the fantasy he imagined. It is brutal, merciless, and those who let their guard down don’t live long. He also discovers a method to temporarily regain his male form. Now, drawn into a battle for power where even the gods take sides, he fights not only for revenge, survival, and ambition, but also to protect those he holds dear—and everything he has built. In this second life, forged by sacrifices beyond his comprehension, he will carve his own path… no matter the cost.
