Eventually, he becomes a villain, losing everything he holds dear: his siblings, fiancée, house, domain, and more. After a miserable death, he reincarnates in the modern world as Dravis Granger. In his new life, he grows up to be a highly intellectual individual oblivious towards his previous life, becoming a young professor in mechanical engineering and a researcher.

Upon completing his virtual reality world, he regains his past memories. Overwhelmed by intense emotions—rage, sadness, and the realization of his past ugliness—he suffers a fatal heart attack.

He agrees and is reincarnated once more, this time with the knowledge of a modern mechanical engineering professor.

Married to the vampire prince

This is my submission for this year's WSA. In a realm where humans and vampires coexist under a fragile truce, Princess Elara is thrust into an arranged marriage with Prince Draven, the enigmatic and feared vampire heir. The wedding, meant to secure peace between their kingdoms, takes place under the shadow of night—a fitting beginning for a union neither of them desires. Draven, the youngest son of the vampire king, has long been an outcast in his own court. Scorned by his father for resembling his deceased mother and tormented by his elder half-brothers, he has learned to endure loneliness and rejection. Marrying Elara was a desperate attempt to gain his father’s approval, but instead, it only intensifies the hostility within his fractured family. For Elara, entering the dark and unfamiliar world of the vampire court is terrifying. Stories of bloodthirsty monsters haunt her thoughts, but the man she meets is far from the monster she expected. As she navigates the labyrinth of vampire politics, family grudges, and ancient traditions, Elara begins to see beyond Draven’s cold exterior to the pain he hides. Together, Elara and Draven must confront not only their own fears and prejudices but also the enemies who conspire to destroy their fragile alliance. As tensions rise and secrets unravel, they find themselves drawn together by a bond neither anticipated. But love in a world of shadows comes at a price, and both Elara and Draven must fight to protect what they’ve found in each other before the darkness consumes them.

Secret Beyond the Veil - Season 1

In a world hidden from humanity, where every individual wields a unique magic, the balance of power is shattered by the rise of a malevolent force. Lyra Elowen, a timid village girl with seemingly insignificant light magic, lives a quiet, uneventful life—until the storm arrives. When an unnatural tempest descends upon her secluded village, it brings with it Kael Draven, a mysterious shadow mage cloaked in danger and secrets. His arrival marks the beginning of a cataclysmic series of events, as shadows corrupt the land and chaos magic begins to spread. Lyra is thrust into an unimaginable conflict, forced to abandon her home and venture into an unknown world to uncover her true destiny. But Kael isn’t the only one with answers. Along the way, Lyra encounters Elias Fynn, a warm-hearted healer whose kindness contrasts sharply with Kael's cold demeanor. While Elias offers her comfort and encouragement, Kael’s abrasive but honest mentorship challenges her to confront the weaknesses she has long tried to ignore. As Lyra trains under the enigmatic mage Selene Aldara, she discovers her light magic is far more powerful than she ever imagined, tied to an ancient prophecy about a savior who can wield the lost elemental powers. Yet, with every step forward, betrayal lurks in the shadows, and the question of trust becomes a matter of life and death. Kael’s dark past comes to light, fracturing the fragile alliance between him, Lyra, and Elias. Their relationships are further complicated by an unexpected love triangle, testing their loyalties and emotions as they face mounting dangers. Lyra’s journey is fraught with peril—deadly battles, ancient riddles, and a traitor among her closest allies. The first part crescendos in a heart-stopping climax where Lyra must embrace her nascent elemental magic to save her friends and herself. But the cost of victory is high, leaving her with more questions than answers. With her newfound power comes the weight of the world’s survival, and Lyra stands on the precipice of a destiny she never wanted, unsure of who she can trust. Part 1 ends with the shadows looming larger than ever, setting the stage for a journey filled with even greater danger, deeper betrayals, and the tantalizing hope of uncovering the truth about her magic—and herself.
