“Being a god sounds cool… until you realize your job is to not kill the heroes you’re sending to save the world.” Kaito thought his life was over when he died in the most embarrassing way possible (don’t ask—it involved a vending machine). But instead of eternal rest, he wakes up as a freshly minted Reincarnation God, responsible for sending heroes into fantasy worlds to defeat demon lords and save kingdoms. Simple, right? Wrong. With a glitchy divine system, a countdown timer, and zero experience, Kaito accidentally overpowers, underpowers, or straight-up breaks the three heroines he's supposed to reincarnate: Alicia, the Sword Heroine, now strong enough to split mountains… but can’t run faster than a turtle. Mira, the Mage Heroine, wields unlimited magic but risks nuking entire continents with a sneeze. Luna, the Healer Heroine, whose healing spells now harm instead of heal. Now, Kaito must guide these broken heroines from the divine realm, keeping them alive (and away from his divine wrath) while navigating hilarious ecchi mishaps, chaotic magic explosions, and accidental harem-building along the way. Can Kaito fix his mistakes before the heroines die—or worse, before he gets demoted to Toilet Cleaning God? Ecchi, comedy, isekai, and harem collide in this wild fantasy adventure!

"She was meant to be another forgotten soul, broken beyond repair, sold into a world where survival was a cruel joke. She wanted death, craved it-but fate had other plans. Eva was never meant to survive. Trapped in a world where bodies are currency and minds are playthings, she learned that suffering comes in many forms—and so does obsession. Some want to own her, some want to break her, and some will destroy anyone who stands in their way. Twisted rivalries pull her deeper into a game she never agreed to play, where salvation and ruin wear the same face. A rescue that was never meant for her leads to something far more dangerous—love, control, and the kind of devotion that leaves scars. In the darkness, five men will claim her in their own way. Some to protect. Some to possess. And some to tear her apart just to see what’s left. But Eva has never been the fragile thing they believe her to be. Even broken, she has teeth. She was supposed to die. Instead, she becomes theirs. And they'll do whatever it takes to keep her-even if they have to break her completely first."

Rule number one: "As a scholarship student, you should steer clear of the rich kids." Olive raised an eyebrow. "Why? Because of bullying?" she asked, playing dumb, though her mind flashed back to the scene she had witnessed earlier. "Exactly! You should avoid the school heir especially. Bullying's like a sport around here for guys like him. If you offend the wrong person, it won't end well. Trust me, if you want a peaceful year, just stay out of their way." _______ In a world where social hierarchy and family legacy reign supreme, Olivia Williams, a brilliant and determined student, disguises herself as a boy to attend the prestigious Belmont High School.

Enter George Lucas, the charismatic and arrogant heir to Belmont's legacy, who finds himself inexplicably drawn to "Olivia," the mysterious new student. As they engage in a fiery hate-to-love relationship, Olivia must navigate the complexities of her own feelings, the danger of discovery, and the class differences that threaten to tear them apart. As they delve deeper into their whirlwind romance, Olivia and George must confront the dark secrets of their own identities, the weight of family expectations, and the transformative power of love. But with great passion comes great risk: their relationship could upend George's family's reputation and legacy, forcing them to choose between love and loyalty. __________ Warning: Contains 18+ scenes at volume 2. And trust me, this isn't your regular type of highschool romance. Read it and you're sure going to love it.
