Ayunda Saraswati was once Aleya, an independent woman in the modern world, a corporate worker with no family or close friends. She lived a life devoid of warmth, never knowing love or attachment. Until one fateful accident claimed her life, leaving her lost in the void between worlds. Reborn in the majestic Majapahit Kingdom, Ayunda wakes up in a new life, as the 10-year-old daughter of a minor minister in the royal court. The world around her seems eerily familiar, echoing the ancient dramas she had once watched. But this is no longer the life she once knew. Here, in a world of kings, warriors, and politics, Ayunda faces an unexpected challenge: she now has a family—a dignified father, a loving mother, and a handsome brother. For the first time, she finds the warmth and care she never had in her previous life. As Ayunda recovers from a feverish illness in the quiet seclusion of her family’s courtyard, she begins to adjust to her new life, free from the burdens of the court. But she cannot forget her past life and the lessons learned from her lonely existence. She does not seek the kingdom’s destiny or its politics; all she hopes for now is to live peacefully with the family that loves her, and perhaps, experience the affection and connection she never had before. However, the kingdom’s fate is not so easily ignored. And Ayunda’s newfound family, including the handsome Crown Prince Rajendra Wijaya, may be the key to a future far different from what she ever imagined. Disclaimer: This is a work of pure fiction.

I died. That's obvious. But I was reborn. How? Don't ask me. Maybe it was some god. A divine being? Ah- It doesn't matter. My life burned away and now- well I'm stuck here in this black void. This dungeon. Maybe I had lived a pious last life. Laughable as that was. But I was given a second chance. Told to grow my dungeon, to create hulking monstrosities that would destroy the world. In short, I am now a villain. I am the consciousness of the dungeon, the little orb at the end my body. And still I live. A projection of a body is created - a trap - and I am that. I am the one to guide foolish adventurers to their death. My looks are curated. Soft features that entrap the mind. I am the dungeon. I am the projection, I am human, and I am the dungeon. And I will conquer all. Every being will bow before my might. "Before you're cuteness~" Ah- heh- that too... help... I didn't ask to look this cute!

Hi Guys! The novel has just been republished here on webnovel with all the available chapters. Here's the link :) https://www.webnovel.com/book/somnus's-descent_22943900006381205 Hope to see you there! "Keru wanted to run. He wanted to forget and pretend the world hadn't ended" In a world of fantasy and magic, Keru is an up and coming silver class adventurer. To the curiosity of those around him, he possesses a unique bloodline ability, the power over the domain of sleep, the strength of which belongs only with the class of blessed high nobility. To no ones surprise, he wanted to keep his past hidden. To his sponsor's interest, the deal they struck could cause a fun headache for her counterparts. To Keru himself, the price he paid was still unknown. *First time writer If I would describe the MC's inner personality at the beginning he would be someone that's: Reckless Conflicted Result-Oriented Emotionally Driven Pragmatic This isn't gonna be a harem novel, just wanted to get that out there ahead of time. The MC at beginning is someone who's impulse control has deteriorated severely. A lot of the trouble he gets into is because he's reckless and emotionally-involved in delicate and nuanced situations. However, he usually gets bailed out by his natural gifts and talents which allows him to continue with his carefree attitude... until it inevitably doesn't. I really want to tackle this part of the MC's character and what are the effects this kind of mindset has to an individual and those around them. *Credits for Image to KELLEPICS https://pixabay.com/images/id-2847724/ Free for commercial use under Pixabay License with no attribution required
