Guess The Musical

I’d Rather Not Be the Hero (But I Guess I Don’t Have a Choice?)

Kazuki Takahashi was living a monotonous, stressful life in modern Japan, filled with nothing but endless work and sleepless nights. That was, until he unexpectedly dies from overwork and wakes up in a strange new world—one filled with magic, mythical creatures, and deadly battles. Reincarnated as a "hero," Kazuki discovers he’s been tasked with saving the world from a Demon King and his seven powerful generals. However, there’s a twist—unlike the other heroes summoned, Kazuki has no magic. Instead, he possesses extraordinary physical abilities that make him overpowered, even without casting a single spell. But there’s one problem: Kazuki doesn’t care about being a hero. All he wants is to live a peaceful life, free from the stresses that plagued him in his past world. Alongside his eccentric companions—like the fierce sword-woman Serena, the witty mage Leo, and others yet to be met—Kazuki embarks on a journey across a world of guilds, rankings, and deadly monsters. As he tries to avoid conflict, Kazuki faces challenges from demons, monsters, and even fellow heroes from other worlds, all while wrestling with his role in this dangerous adventure. With comedic encounters, moments of heartfelt connection, and a brewing storm between the forces of good and evil, Kazuki’s new life is anything but quiet. Will Kazuki accept his fate as the savior of this world, or will he continue to avoid his destiny for as long as possible? A blend of fantasy, action, and comedy, *The Lazy Hero’s Escape Plan* is the ultimate story of an overpowered hero who just wants to enjoy his second chance at life.

[BL] The Musical Prince and his Mortal God

A Prince who yearns to be great and a God who desires to become nothing. *** Tragedy befalls the island of Salyras every fifteen years. When Prince Nevian’s compelling music does nothing to prevent his island and people from sinking, he wonders what his passionate ability is useful for. He drifts for two days across a wild sea and washes upon an island of monsters. Despite being delirious from hunger and grief, he manages to produce one last song to save a man from the snares of a menacing creature. Nevian is surprised when he lives and is greeted by the man he saved. An honest-spoken individual named Aestos, who has otherworldly abilities that grant him the title and prestige of a God. Prestige he never asked for. Fascinated by Nevian’s music, Aestos requests that the Prince accompany him to retrieve a fabled sword that would strip him of his supernatural strengths and grant him the ability to live as a simple man. Aestos relies on Nevian’s enchanting songs, unable to prevent himself from also becoming bewitched. And despite being unsure of the long journey ahead, Nevian puts his faith in the man and agrees to help, believing if his music is truly destined for anything remarkable, now is the time to test it. ------------ [ Excerpt: ] I leaned and kissed Aestos’ face. He swiveled his head—rapidly—and our noses brushed. I laughed tiredly. “What is with that reaction, friend?” His face tightened. But he was not upset. He wore the countenance of a delighted man who feigned confusion because it was comfortable not to recognize what some actions meant. “You are always touching me. Every hour, a hand of yours reaches for me. Why?” he asked. I felt bashful, although confessions came naturally to me. “You must understand by now.” “I am trying to,” he answered sincerely, and he spread his fingers over his chest. “Because here, I feel something I am not used to. Whenever you touch me.” I smiled softly. “You feel your heart.” “I feel more than that.” “Does it frighten you?” He pondered over it while holding my gaze. “I don’t want it to.” I stole his other hand and held it against my chest to let him feel the music of my heart. “Do you feel the rhythm?” His eyes fell to where he held me. “I do not need to feel it,” he murmured. “I hear every time it changes.” I adored him with an enthusiastic smile. “Your ears are extraordinary, and you notice when affection drums in my chest. For you, Aestos. Because you are becoming someone special to me.” ------------ A story about love, destiny, (some) mythological creatures, music, magic, family, and tragedy. Takes on minor themes of historical Greek mythology & culture. [ This story centers affectionate friendships between men. BL tag for bromance. ]
