Rather Than The Son I'Ll Take The Father

The Alchemist’s Son

Damian Thorne, a 25-year-old struggling artist, leads an ordinary life in a bustling city—until the day he receives a mysterious letter from a long-forgotten relative. His estranged grandfather, a reclusive alchemist, has passed away, leaving Damian his secluded estate in the countryside. Intrigued, and with little to lose, Damian decides to visit the property, only to discover that his grandfather’s legacy is far more complex than he imagined. At the heart of the mansion is an ancient, hidden laboratory filled with cryptic notes and strange, alchemical equipment. Damian quickly learns that his grandfather was part of a secretive alchemical order dedicated to uncovering the Philosopher's Stone. His grandfather had been on the verge of a breakthrough—one that involved transmutation of not just metal, but reality itself. As Damian delves deeper into his grandfather's research, he starts experiencing strange occurrences. Time warps. Shadows move on their own. Old enemies of the order resurface, determined to seize the secrets Damian has inherited. To protect his life and the legacy of his family, Damian must master the forbidden knowledge of alchemy before it consumes him. In a race against time and enemies both seen and unseen, Damian discovers that the true power of alchemy is not in transmuting gold—but in unlocking the secrets of life, death, and the universe itself. However, every step he takes closer to mastering alchemy brings him closer to a dangerous truth: that some knowledge was never meant to be found.

I'll Save The Female lead

As I found myself thrust into this bewildering situation, I couldn't help but wonder if fate had a strange sense of humor. Here I was, once the top A-rank agent, now trapped in the role of a notorious villainess in a reverse harem novel. But why did it had to be the villainess? Well, I don't care! But now that I'm here, I'll enjoy my life to the fullest that I couldn't before. Plus, my family is real rich. Though an issue soon occurred. The female lead keeps sticking to me! I tried to get rid of her by distancing myself since I don't want to end up in the chaos like in the novel… But the female lead is just so adorable!! What would happen if the once fearsome antagonist was now trying to protect the very person she once tormented?  "Sabiiiii!" Ann's voice chimed, her eyes sparkling with innocence. It was hard to resist her charm, and I found myself softening despite my initial intentions. And it seems the so-called main suitors are suffering from collective amnesia. They flocked to me, oblivious to the fact that Anne was the true focus of their affections. "Stay Away! I will not give you my lovely Ann," I declared, my frustration mounting. "Who said I wanted her?" The chaos continued with the supposed fiancé as well, who seemed convinced that our engagement was set in stone, "You are my soon-to-be fiancée! Please compose yourself"  "I refuse to get engaged to you and to compose, whatever that is". "Don't you think you're quite rude to your soon-to-be Fiancé?"  "I'm not rude, you're too nice! And I told you I'm not getting engaged to you" "Thank you, my Lady"  "…Are you dumb?!!!" What in the world of strawberries was going on indeed? It was a baffling and comical twist of fate. But as the days passed, I found myself navigating this bizarre world with a newfound determination. If I was going to be stuck in this story, I might as well do it my way. And who knows, maybe I could turn this chaotic tale into something truly extraordinary.

I’d Rather Not Be the Hero (But I Guess I Don’t Have a Choice?)

Kazuki Takahashi was living a monotonous, stressful life in modern Japan, filled with nothing but endless work and sleepless nights. That was, until he unexpectedly dies from overwork and wakes up in a strange new world—one filled with magic, mythical creatures, and deadly battles. Reincarnated as a "hero," Kazuki discovers he’s been tasked with saving the world from a Demon King and his seven powerful generals. However, there’s a twist—unlike the other heroes summoned, Kazuki has no magic. Instead, he possesses extraordinary physical abilities that make him overpowered, even without casting a single spell. But there’s one problem: Kazuki doesn’t care about being a hero. All he wants is to live a peaceful life, free from the stresses that plagued him in his past world. Alongside his eccentric companions—like the fierce sword-woman Serena, the witty mage Leo, and others yet to be met—Kazuki embarks on a journey across a world of guilds, rankings, and deadly monsters. As he tries to avoid conflict, Kazuki faces challenges from demons, monsters, and even fellow heroes from other worlds, all while wrestling with his role in this dangerous adventure. With comedic encounters, moments of heartfelt connection, and a brewing storm between the forces of good and evil, Kazuki’s new life is anything but quiet. Will Kazuki accept his fate as the savior of this world, or will he continue to avoid his destiny for as long as possible? A blend of fantasy, action, and comedy, *The Lazy Hero’s Escape Plan* is the ultimate story of an overpowered hero who just wants to enjoy his second chance at life.
