Lovely Slowed

Sienna, a 40-year-old assistant manager at an IT company, feels trapped in a monotonous life, for the luxurious lifestyle she craves. Without wealthy parents or a mysterious inheritance from her grandfather, she has had to work tirelessly to fulfill her dreams of wine in the weekend, fishing on the yatch on summer, skiing by winter, and touring a vineyard in fall. Her relentless focus on her career has come at the expense of her relationships, with most of her past girlfriends either cheating on her or leaving due to her constant neglect. Sienna's go-to response when relationships end is, "What else do they need?" - she simply doesn't understand why her past partners couldn't be satisfied with her providing for their material needs. Seeking an escape, Sienna immerses herself in a video game called 'Vintage Point', where the protagonist, male/female, inherits their grandfather's vineyard and creamery. Through the use of cheating codes she got from the game community, Sienna amasses unlimited wealth and the ability to have multiple wives in the game - living out her dream life virtually. "Oh lord, rich, vineyard, and wives. My dream life." One night, after a few too many glasses of wine, Sienna passes out in front of her computer. When she wakes up, Sienna finds herself in a large, medieval-style house, surrounded by four distressed women who seem to blame her for their current life. Disoriented and unsure of what is happening, "What is happening?" This unexpected turn of events propels Sienna into a surreal situation, where the line between her virtual dream life and reality becomes blurred.

Screw all that power struggle. Slice of life here I cometh!

Overworked. Underslept. Emotionally bankrupt. That was Selene Mira—an introverted interior designer in her late twenties who barely had time to breathe, let alone live. When she unexpectedly keels over from burnout (who knew coffee wasn’t a food group?), Selene wakes up in an unidentified magical world full of floating islands, spell-wielding sheep, and villagers who think smartphones are cursed artifacts. But there's a twist: She didn’t get magic. She got Amazon. Well, not exactly. But a dimensional shopping platform that delivers anything she wants—from pepper spray to noise-cancelling earbuds—paired with a freakishly fast learning ability and a sarcastic little ring that dings in her head every time she gains a new skill. Armed with nothing but modern gadgets, dry humor, and a desperate need for personal space, Selene sets out to live the slowest, quietest, and most introvert-friendly life possible in a world that keeps trying to turn her into the main character of an epic fantasy saga. Too bad fate—and fantasy tropes—have other plans.

Nineteen-year-old Haruki Takashi is just a student at a college in Tokyo—granted a smart one. But Haruki hides his thoughts and real thinking behind his face that look like BORED every time. He harbours a disturbed past, and a flooded mind that is too loud for any internal peace. He thinks there is hope and love but for him no hope, no connection, and no love. He trusts only his logic and loneliness but he know that emotions what make A human to A human. But when a project groups him with the most motivated student in college, and her mixed group of friends, a newly determined girl who smiles even through pain, Haruki encounters the one thing he has never wanted to face—people. This is not a story about healing or saving someone. This is about broken people trying to not hurt one another. And maybe, just maybe, discovering what love really is.

Some souls never stay buried. And some hearts never forget. Seventeen-year-old Lina Cross never believed in fate—until a strange boy with haunted eyes saves her from a shadow that wasn’t supposed to exist. Adrian isn’t normal. He doesn’t sleep. He doesn’t age. And he knows things about Lina’s past that she’s never told anyone… things even she doesn’t remember. When a violent creature begins stalking her across the city, Lina is forced into a hidden world of bloodbound oaths, ancient enemies, and cursed memories that stretch across centuries. Adrian claims he’s protecting her. But his silence runs deep—and the way he looks at her feels like a wound trying to heal. As Lina begins to unlock fragments of a life she never lived, she realizes her soul is older than her skin—and so is her connection to Adrian. But falling in love with a vampire already at war with himself might be the most dangerous memory of all. Because in this story, the past isn’t done with them. And midnight always comes slow..

Physically and mentally exhausted from the harsh labor of a toxic corporation, salaryman Yuji Sakamoto slams down his resignation letter. Seeking to heal, he goes camping, only to wake up in an unfamiliar new world. He is granted a unique ability: [Conve∞]*, an infinite web shopping skill that allows him to procure any item from modern Japan. Using this power, he begins a self-sufficient slow life—making a living by selling modern conveniences like shampoo, building his own log cabin, and cultivating a farm. The peaceful days spent with his beloved dog, Haru, slowly begin to heal his weary heart. However, shadows soon start to fall upon his quiet existence: a mysterious beast lurking in the forest and a new contract with the Merchant's Guild, who have taken a keen interest in his special ability. Will Yuji be able to protect the small happiness he has finally found and his peaceful life with Haru? This is the tale of a former salaryman's survival slow-life in another world—one that's not always so laid-back!

"Some stories don't end with love. Some hearts never heal. And some obsessions are deadly." She loved him for 12 years. For 12 years, he never looked back. Ayla Wilson's world revolved around one man-Silas Williams.A love unspoken, a devotion unseen. She was the girl who watched from the shadows, the girl who never dared to step too close. Until the night she ran. Until the night she had nowhere else to go. A forced marriage. A locked door. A father who saw her as nothing more than a bargaining chip. The walls closed in, suffocating, unbreakable. Then came the escape. A wedding gown stained with rain and desperation. Footsteps pounding against the pavement. And a destination she should have never chosen. Silas Williams! But Silas was no longer the distant boy she once admired. He was untouchable. Ruthless. A man with a heart colder than she could ever imagine. A wife by law, yet a ghost in his world. A marriage that existed only in ink, hidden behind their home. A dangerous love. She told herself she could survive this. That she could live in his shadow without demanding more. Then everything changed. A loss so cruel it shattered everything.

(This tale weaves the story of Eldric, a man neither purely virtuous nor wicked, but a flawed, lustful soul like any other, driven by desires that burn deep in his loins.) Most adventurers, driven by the allure of fame and gold, flock to the grand cities near the royal capital, where opportunities for glory abound. Yet, in the quiet rhythm of everyday life, it’s the humble villages in the countryside that face constant peril I, known as the warm-hearted Eldric, a grizzled, half-retired adventurer in the prime of my middle years, am one of the rare souls who seeks out the dangerous tasks in the overlooked hamlets. In those forgotten villages, I find myself entangled with plain yet captivating village women—each with her own spark, her own allure. A buxom farmer’s wife with calloused hands and a shy smile, a tavern maid whose laughter hides a hungry gleam in her eye, or a widow whose lonely nights ache for a man’s touch~ Together, we sow passion in the quiet fields and shadowed barns, our bodies entwined in sweaty, primal dances under the moonlight. These women, unpolished but radiant in their own way, offer me their gratitude in the most intimate of ways, their soft moans and eager caresses a reward no city could ever match. This is the saga of a wandering adventurer, a man whose heart beats for the thrill of danger and the heat of forbidden trysts, chasing not just coin but the sweet, sinful pleasures found in the arms of village women who crave as fiercely as he does. *All characters are 20+, all scenes are fictional! *All content and extra stuff do not represent real people or places *Have sexual scenes

Death. She didn’t expect Kavish Trevance. Feared across kingdoms, the King of Hounds commands shadows, beasts, and killers with a glance. A monster in a crown, ruthless, revered, and cold-blooded.

But nothing about Kavish is simple. He touches her like she’s sacred. Protects her like she’s priceless. And when the mate bond awakens, her weaponized heart becomes her most dangerous enemy. Now Nesrin must decide: burn the world for revenge, or surrender to the fire consuming them both. A disgraced she-wolf. A brutal Alpha King. One throne. One bond.

Ashtik Sai-Weleg is not a hero, nor is she a villain. She's nothing but a simple huntress with some mild social anxiety. That is all she has ever been, and that is all she ever wanted to be. Then an old and long-since forgotten god decided to put into action, his ancient and foretold prophecy. If all goes to plan, his holy Champion would have been there to save the world. Only... it did not go to plan. Instead of the chosen one, his divine mark has been violently attached to Ashtik, and now the whole world stands on the edge. Can she unite the world? Can she forge an alliance to battle the apocalypse? Can she remain on the side of good when all evil actions seem to save so many more lives?
