When Emily, a terminal cancer patient, took her final breath, she never expected to open her eyes again—especially not as a 7-year-old princess with soft, chubby cheeks and sparkling green eyes. Now living as Princess Evelisse of the grand kingdom of Florabelle, she finds herself surrounded by seven doting older brothers, each more protective than the last, and a kingdom that adores her every smile. But as she adjusts to her new life of frilly dresses, endless pampering, and royal feasts, a cute, chibi-like Fluff System suddenly appears, promising her a life of comfort if she completes weekly “Fluffy Tasks.” Tasks like: ✨ “Give your brothers a sweet, tearful smile (Reward: Extra pampering for the day!)” ✨ “Convince the grumpy Duke to carry you on his shoulders (Reward: Instant Kingdom-Wide Adoration Boost!)” ✨ “Unite two rival knights through a shared ‘baby sister protection squad’ meeting (Reward: Secret Passage Map to the Royal Kitchens)” However, hidden among the fluffy missions and sweet family moments lies a deeper purpose—uniting the fractured kingdom of Florabelle. To succeed, Evelisse must bring together not just her brothers, but also the cunning villains, misunderstood nobles, and even the eccentric court magicians, using the most powerful weapon in her tiny arsenal: OVERWHELMING CUTENESS and SMARTS. With her Fluff System guiding her and a heart determined to bring warmth to every corner of the kingdom, Evelisse sets out to become not just a pampered princess, but the heart and soul of Florabelle. After all, who knew that the key to uniting a kingdom could be as simple as a pouty lip, teary eyes, and a warm hug?

Noel likes his world quiet, clean, and perfectly organized. He’s the kind of guy who alphabetizes his books, avoids eye contact, and considers a wild night one where he reads past midnight. Drama? Not his thing. Parties? Pass. Sharing a dorm with a chaotic stranger? Just another obstacle to endure—hopefully, temporarily. Enter Luca: flirtatious, chaotic, and chronically shirtless. A walking disaster with too many admirers and not enough awareness, he leaves messes—and broken hearts—wherever he goes. Loud, reckless, and charming, he’s everything Noel can’t stand… and somehow, everything he can’t stop noticing. What starts as a clash of lifestyles soon turns into late-night conversations, innocent pranks, and lingering stares. Somewhere between eye rolls and shared ramen, their rivalry begins to blur—until even Noel can’t deny his quiet little world feels empty without Luca. Noel wonders why his heart skips a beat whenever Luca’s near. And Luca? He’s realizing the one person who doesn’t fall for his charm might be the only one who truly sees him. Falling in love was never part of the roommate agreement—but hearts don’t follow house rules. --- Vibes & Tropes: Grumpy x Sunshine Forced Proximity Mutual Pining & Slow Burn Sass, Snark, and Secret Softness Movie nights, pranks, cuddles, and the accidental love story

Meet Chloe, a cynical, perpetually single baker whose only true loves are sourdough starters and the quiet solitude of her cat, Muffin. Her life takes an unexpected, hilarious turn when a well-meaning (and slightly meddling) elderly customer, Mrs. Henderson, mistakes Chloe's accidental delivery of a love poem to the wrong address as a sign of her hidden talent for matchmaking. Before Chloe can protest, she's roped into becoming the unofficial "Cupid of Maple Street," tasked with orchestrating the romantic lives of her quirky small-town neighbors. Armed with a disastrous understanding of romance novels and an even worse track record with her own dating life, Chloe bumbles through a series of increasingly absurd setups. There's the shy librarian who needs to be coaxed out of her shell with interpretive dance, the grumpy hardware store owner who secretly writes sonnets, and the perpetually confused tourist who thinks "blind date" means wearing a literal blindfold. Just when Chloe thinks she's mastered the art of not getting involved, a charming, infuriatingly handsome new resident, Liam, moves in next door. He's a travel writer who finds Chloe's matchmaking antics endlessly amusing and seems determined to prove that even the most love-averse baker can't escape destiny. As Chloe tries to set everyone else up, she finds herself accidentally falling for the one person she swore she'd never get involved with – a man who sees through her cynical facade and finds her chaotic attempts at love endearing. "The Accidental Matchmaker's Guide to Not Falling in Love" is a heartwarming and laugh-out-loud tale about finding love when you least expect it, proving that sometimes, the best way to find your own happy ending is to trip headfirst into someone else's.

I'm also uploading this on royalroad under the profile https://www.royalroad.com/profile/751665 You know Truck-kun. The chrome-gleaming, destiny-delivering cosmic entity responsible for everyone else's glorious second chances in a fantasy world. Well, I am Truck-kun. Or, rather, I was. Turns out, being the universe's busiest reincarnation service comes with a mountain of cosmic paperwork, an aggressively cheerful HR department, and absolutely zero paid vacation. One catastrophic "System Overload" and an "Unplanned Recall" later, I, the professional harbinger of plot, found myself unexpectedly isekai'd. Not as an overpowered hero, mind you, but as "Leo": a squishy, bipedal human with a horrifyingly intact consciousness, a pulse (ugh), and a brand-new body that hurts when I think about it. My new "life" comes with a glaring, glitchy HUD. Apparently, I'm now a "MAJOR VILLAIN" with a primary directive to "CAUSE PROBLEMS ON PURPOSE." Problem is, my powers—which basically turn me into a walking, accidental demolition derby—have a nasty habit of doing the exact opposite of villainy. I try to make a dramatic entrance, I accidentally save a bus full of orphans. I attempt grand larceny, I accidentally organize a charity bake sale. My "Villainy Points" are currently a dismal negative, while my "Hero Affection" keeps alarmingly skyrocketing. To make matters worse, the universe’s most annoyingly enthusiastic rookie hero, Solar Seeker (Warning: Excessive Hair Gel Usage), keeps showing up, convinced I'm some kind of misunderstood anti-hero. And don't even get me started on the system that keeps demanding I "commit an atrocity to continue" while simultaneously offering "Tax Evasion" as a villainous act. Meanwhile, the original Truck-kun (me, from another cosmic timeline) is still out there, rampaging across dimensions, causing the very reality I'm stuck in to glitch. So now, I, a former god of vehicular homicide, am stuck trying to be a villain, constantly failing upwards into accidental heroism, all while avoiding HR, actual villains, and the existential dread of having feet. Join Leo – the reluctant, burnt-out villain who just wants to clock out – as he navigates a world that refuses to let him be evil, proving that sometimes, the most spectacular failures lead to the most annoying amount of XP. Get ready for: System errors, accidental good deeds, heroes with bad knees, and a lot of grumpy monologuing.

This hilarious fantasy story mixes mythological figures, cosmic entities, and a wolf babysitter with just too much contracts on his hands. It revolves around a Monstrous—though, gullible—wolf, reduced to a babysitter and a magnet for bad contracts. Ruben—formerly Ravenswood—is a classic “grumpy but good-hearted” reluctant hero. He is powerful and fearsome, but his terrible decision-making and misfortune always puts him in some kind of inconvenient pact. He got captured by a Human, who later tricked him into a lifelong contract of protecting his daughter, Alicia—whose identity is shrouded in mystery—who also turned out to be a psychotic Yandere! In an attempt to flee the suddenly-catastrophic Gihon—which is earth—with the Human’s daughter, Ruben was obstructed by Pluto, who also tricked him into an absurd pact to slay THE Cthulhu, as the ticket to let him through the other world. Ruben urgently sought to escape Gihon, so he unwisely agreed, only to recall who the all-powerful Cthulhu was. It was too late, though. Successfully crossing worlds to Pison—another type of earth—our Fenrir was met with the “Queen of the coast,” also known as Leviathan—a severe pervert. She attacked and defeated him, but when he woke up, she had apparently made a Master-servant pact with him, in his sleep. As they traveled seeking human cities in Pison, our misfortunate wolfie encountered a godman; Jobina, the daughter of Job, the second of the seven mortal powers. Jobina—a masochist with a vendetta against Leviathan, and a tendency to turn everything into a competition—attacked him for being associated with the evil Leviathan, only to be soundly defeated. Shocked by reality, Jobina protested that she also wanted a pact with Ruben, so he’ll coach her to be powerful. And when the time is right, she’ll slay Leviathan! Our easy-to-fool protagonist, and his terrible life choices, agreed, recruiting yet another troublemaker he’d have to babysit. He only wants an easy going life without problems and crisis! The story has a larger plot, where Ruben—and his babies—constantly, “accidentally,” ruin Sarvest—the antagonist—plans. Sarvest is used to dealing with gods and cosmic entities, not an unworthy—yet effective—opponent in a bubbling wolf-turned-human. Ruben later meets what we would call God—a dumb teenager who only cares about entertainment—who also duped Ruben, using his kind-heartedness, into some kind of horrible pact. “The Silent Pact of a Wolf Babysitter” is a story filled with laughs, chaos, and unexpected twists. It follows Ruben’s misadventures as he navigates a world of cosmic powers, absurd pacts, and the challenges of babysitting a group of eccentric and overpowered individuals. With a larger plot involving Satanas’s grand schemes and Ruben’s accidental heroism, this tale promises both humor and a compelling narrative.

Josh Anderson was once an ordinary boy who only wanted a peaceful life with his mother. But peace was a luxury he could never afford under the rule of his tyrannical father, Marcus Anderson. Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed. After years of enduring Marcus’s abuse, Mary was finally pushed too far—beaten unconscious in front of her sister, Jane Rocky, and her own son. Rushed to the hospital, she never woke up. The news of her death shattered Josh’s world. His mother—his protector, his source of warmth—was gone. And the one responsible? The man who called himself his father. At his mother’s funeral, standing before a crowd of mourners, Josh made a choice that would change his life forever. He was no longer Josh Anderson. That name had died with his mother. From that moment on, he became Josh Rocky, a boy with no room left for love or sympathy. And as Marcus Anderson fled the country to escape justice, Josh vowed that one day, he would hunt him down and make him pay. Ten years later… The once-fragile boy has become a cold, ruthless man—the CEO of Rocky Jewelries Company, one of the most powerful jewelry empires in the country. Feared by employees and competitors alike, Josh Rocky is known as "Sir Grumpy"—a man who fires employees without hesitation, shows no mercy to rivals, and views kindness as a weakness. To him, emotions are nothing but obstacles. Love? It’s a lie. Sympathy? It’s a weakness. Family? It’s a myth. Will Josh remain the ruthless man he’s become, or will the ghosts of his past force him to confront the emotions he buried long ago?

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations. His job was everything to him. Until Luxor. Luxor changed everything. Luxor changed him. Ravi was done. The tiredness etched into his bones. He laid down his mantle and vanished. He chose the most boring planet in his memory for his retirement, except this Earth was not like the one he remembered- Nests, monsters, superheroes, and villains filled the streets but that was not his business. He has a plan, a quiet, uncaring life filled with wine, food, and books. But the New Captain at the Bureau seemed to enjoy shattering all his carefully laid plans. He was the most annoying person Ravi had ever met, blonde hair, the most beautiful blue eyes, and a sunny smile, the righteous Arlen Sinclair constantly got involved in cases much bigger than him, dragging Ravi along into his Shenanigans. **** Grumpy, Cynic Shou who doesn't care if the world burns× Golden Retriever, Righteous Gong who is the first to bring the bucket to save the burning world. #Foundfamily #Sliceoflife, #crime, #mystery, #Superheros, #OverpoweredMc, #Protagonistfallsinlovefirst #MutualPampering #Powercouple #Superpowers #Cooking #Farming #yaoi #Detectives #Villains [This book is participating in the WSA contest] Disclaimer: The book cover to be taken down at owner's request.

When mischievous, fearless Mashal lands in London to spend Ramadan with her sister Nawal, she brings with her a whirlwind of laughter, mischief, and drama. Her only goal? To spread joy, tease the kids, and maybe stir up a little harmless trouble.

Elena Song was many things. A loyal girlfriend. A hopeful fiancée. A woman who tried, again and again, to love—and to be loved. But none of it lasted. The last straw? Getting an invitation to her ex-fiancé’s wedding. With no family, no one to call, and nothing left anchoring her to her life, Elena was used to surviving in quiet dignity. Alone.

Then the system speaks: [ROLE: Side Character] [OBJECTIVE: Survive] [WARNING: Plot deviation detected… rerouting.] Suddenly, she’s being pushed into deadly tasks, meeting people she shouldn’t, and making choices no extra was ever supposed to make. Like helping a mysterious mercenary with storm-colored eyes who seems oddly… familiar. She thinks he’s just some grumpy mercenary… She insults him. Probably kicks him. Definitely threatens him. He says he’s no one. He’s lying. He’s the villain prince the system forgot to warn her about. And now, he can’t forget her.. Unless it’s because of the system that clearly wants to get rid of her at all costs.

John just wanted a quiet botanist life. Maybe grow a few “slightly suspicious” plants, feed his sentient cotton-plant pet named Barry, and definitely not return that research journal he “accidentally” stole from a sketchy lab. Then the Men in Black showed up. Then came the alien spaceship with neon signs that screamed: “Congratulations, Earth! You’ve been selected for a once-in-a-lifetime—possibly never again—chance to join the Multiverse Game!” Before he could say “I’m not qualified,” John found himself floating in space with a backpack full of snacks, a panicked cotton plant on his shoulder, and a smug AI panda named Shiv who asked him to pick a class. He chose Botanist, the weakest class. Shiv laughed and dumped him on a planet full of flesh-eating, brain-hijacking, nightmare plants. Now John has no power, no combat skill, and no clue. All he has is: A glowing survival backpack, a grumpy, sentient cotton plant named Mister Barry, and a stolen journal he barely understands. But hey… maybe that’s enough. Maybe a class no one respects can grow into something terrifying before the actual Multiverse Path of Chosen Game ( DEADLY) If the plants don’t eat him first. (Daily update: 20:00 GMT +8)

Even within very little light, Master exuded a commanding presence; his stance was upright, and yet, he was soft enough to have the little pink tassel still on his waist. Just as she reached the end, Master took a few steps forward and raised his hand “Could I have the pleasure to escort you, Miss Asano?” Hatsuki’s eyes were expressive as they blinked a few times, staring to the core. Her hands, which were carefully pinching the hem of the skirt, left loose and stared at the Master for a few seconds. “You may, Sir…” She placed her hands on Yuki’s cold palms. His fingers little by little intertwined with her fingers while his free hand reached for her chin. The tip of his index fingers brushed on her soft skin as his face gently leaned towards her as well. Hatsuki had an unreadable expression, as though everything that was happening was just a dream. Feeling that Hatsuki’s focus wasn’t on him, Yuki swiftly glided Hatsuki, making her feel the presence. “Raise your head, You are now the strongest woman in the after realm” ~ After realm, under realm, and hidden realm all mean the same.

Void used to be that guy. You know—the walking apocalypse. The bringer of end times. The one responsible for sending an entire realm into therapy. Wielding the Destruction Principle, he nearly wiped the World Realm clean off the cosmic map. Why? Because he could. And also because existence was boring and needed a little… shaking up. But surprise! Blowing everything up isn’t as fun when you realize there’s no second season. So what does an all-powerful existential threat do when he’s bored? He reincarnates. Now walking the mortal world like a grumpy tourist with divine PTSD, Void sets out to comprehend the Creation Principles—you know, the opposite of what he’s good at. Classic character development. But don’t worry. This isn’t your usual redemption arc. Because as Void digs deeper, he discovers the World Realm is just one small corner of the Nothingness Realm, and there are bigger, dumber, and more suspiciously mysterious universes out there—with secrets that make destruction look like a toddler tantrum. So yeah. He might end up protecting the world. Or he might finish what he started. Depends on his mood. And how annoying the gods are that week. ⸻ Author’s Note Hey. Yes, you. This is my first book, so don’t expect 10,000-word chapters out the gate. Early chapters are short, chaotic, and full of me learning how to write like someone who isn’t high on Void energy. Stick around. It gets longer. It gets wilder. And Void gets weirder. Let’s wreck reality together.

In the kingdom of Velvaria, dragons are either feared as destructive monsters or worshiped as divine beings. But 17-year-old Kip Flint, a failed squire with a talent for getting into trouble, doesn't care about any of that. He just wants to survive long enough to escape his miserable village, avoid his overbearing grandmother (who may or may not be a retired witch), and find a purpose in life. But everything changes when Kip accidentally bonds with a baby dragon—not just any dragon, but Ignavarax the Catastrophic, the last of the ancient, chaos-wielding Stormflame breed. Ignavarax is small, sassy, allergic to magic scrolls, and has a nasty habit of exploding when sneezing. Now hunted by knights, cultists, rival dragon-riders, and a very grumpy librarian who wants her books back, Kip and his new fire-breathing, nap-loving companion must journey across the kingdom to find the legendary "Sanctuary of Scale"—a mythical place where dragons and humans once lived in peace. Along the way, they’ll encounter: Tamsin, a sarcastic thief with a talking sword and a price on her head. Sir Pompwell the Brave, a delusional knight convinced Kip is a chosen hero. The Feathered Council, a group of griffons who refuse to take anything seriously. And a necromancer who just wants to open a bakery (but accidentally raised the undead instead). With chaos around every corner, Kip must rise to the challenge, learn what it really means to be a dragon-rider, and try not to get barbecued in the process. Because Ignavarax is growing fast… and so is the danger that follows them.

"Why can't you come back?" He sniffed, eyes red and blazing with love, and pangs of guilt gnawing on my chest. "My heart beats only for you," he continued, knees propped hard on the floor and head slightly bent. I felt like the devil himself as I watched tears flow uncontrollably from his eyes. He would not understand, would he? I bit my lips nervously wishing there was something I could do to console him. "Your sight alone quenches my thirst and hunger. Come back to me and I'll accommodate both you and your daughter," he broke into a weak sob "Come back to me, lest I die," he breathed heavily, holding his chest as he voiced the words and my heart sliced into shreds.
