Pirate Gold Found

WSA 2025 participant in the New trope (please try it): Micheal von Shelb, the lazy yet brilliant Duke's son, discovers he’s a disposable side character in a series of romantic dramas where the authors gleefully kill off his family and even his unborn kids. Unwilling to accept his footnote status, Micheal sets out to rewrite his destiny. Armed with his brain, wit, and slightly impractical inventions like man-bras, he vows to save his wife, Magda, restore their lives, and revolutionize the Empire. But fate's got other plans. Between dodging political plots, equipping beastmen, and launching horseless carriages, Micheal's quiet life dream spirals into chaos. As the multiverse meddles, Micheal proves that even a side character can upstage the main plot, one sassy retort at a time.

At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs.

Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic.
