Hopelessly Bromantic

Leo Carter: The Accidental Time Traveler of Ancient Rome

Leo Carter is just your average 21st-century English major—slightly disorganized, perpetually late, and hopelessly hooked on the dramatic, old-school world of Shakespeare. But when a late-night study session with Julius Caesar unexpectedly turns into an accidental trip through time, Leo finds himself not in a college dorm, but smack-dab in the heart of ancient Rome. To make matters worse, Leo isn't just a tourist; he's holding a mysterious, glowing book that seems to pulse with a life of its own and whispers secrets that no modern-day student should ever know. Cue the eye-rolls from history buffs everywhere: Leo Carter, with his sneakers and too-tight jeans, is now the unlikely center of attention in a world full of toga-wearing senators, opportunistic politicians, and more backstabbing than a high school cafeteria. With the help of Gaius, a sharp-tongued scholar who suspects Leo's arrival is part of a bigger picture, Leo must navigate the bustling city streets, avoid unwanted attention from the guard, and figure out why his 21st-century self is now entangled in a centuries-old power struggle. All the while, he’s juggling his modern sensibilities with the unexpected—and often absurd—realities of life in ancient Rome, including questionable hygiene, impromptu gladiator fights, and more than one ill-timed “Et tu, Brute?” moment. As if that wasn't enough, there’s the book: a relic that some seek to control and others to destroy. With his own life on the line, Leo will have to learn the real lessons of ambition, loyalty, and how to properly make an entrance when surrounded by a crowd of toga-clad onlookers. And he might just find that some things—whether ancient or modern—are more timeless than they seem.

Otaku Grind: Rise of the Reluctant Hero

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?
