Flashing Stranger

[It’s the same novel I'm currently working on, but it’s focused on male audience.] Shinji Kobayashi lived and died as a perverted otaku—alone, broke, and mid-“activity” while watching a gender-bending hentai. When he awakens in a strange, elegant room, he’s no longer a man. He’s Lilith Elric—seventeen, beautiful, and just a few days away from her 18th birthday… the day she becomes a Tribute. In a world where women are sacred and rare, born only through natural childbirth, Lilith finds herself as a living treasure. Men are artificially created, raised without mothers, and taught to worship women. A woman’s adulthood marks her entry into a life of reverence, desire… and expectation. To the world, Lilith is a divine blessing. To herself, she’s still Shinji—awkward, horny, confused—and now trapped in a society that treats her like a goddess and a prize. With only fragments of the girl’s memories, no system yet to aid her, and mounting pressure to “serve” society, Lilith must navigate lust, politics, and power. But deep within her lies something no one expects—a destiny that could unravel the very balance of this female-starved world. Is she just another sacred offering… Or will she rewrite what it means to be divine? Recommended readers: 18+

WARNING!!! -Explicit and Dark Romance- For years after Livana lost her sight, she lived in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations—engaged to the man chosen for her, confined to the shadows while he managed the empire her mother left behind. But blindness didn’t make her powerless. She heard everything. The whispers in the other room. The treachery in her fiancé’s voice.

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all.

All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.
