Slow Life

The tale of the knight in shining armor rescuing the trapped princess from the clutches of an evil monster. Together, they ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. A theme as old as time. One that has been around since the dawn of stories. But what if the princess stuck behind bars is the monster? What if behind their beautiful and graceful facade, is a heart of cruelty devoid of all compassion and sympathy? This the tale of a knight who wishes to escape his master without knowing how his actions impact everyone around him. Author's Note: Kudos to Gemini AI for providing me with this image. This is just the concept art, nothing official for MC.

Surrounded by unfamiliar faces, he begins to carve out a new life, one filled with hope and the chance for personal growth.

In a world where loss is inevitable, Kaito is forced to confront the darkness that lingers within him and the painful sacrifices that come with seeking redemption. Will he be able to rise above the tragedies that define his existence, or will he become a victim of his own unresolved past? MC name: Kaito Nakamura. Age: 17.

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.

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.

Life... What is life? Who defines it? Who decides it? Who conceives it? The truth is that we all have it. Some of us hate it. Some of us don't want to lose it. To some it's... precious. To others it's a burden, it's misery... it's a threat. Life is too complex for us -no- for mere humans to understand. It isn't our choice. It has never been our choice. It will never be our choice. So basically, the only thing left for us to do is to choose. Choose whether to leave it or live it. Though, it's easier said than done.

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!

I used to be disenchanted of my own hands. Not in some weird psychological way—though maybe it was psychological, who knows. I mean literally afraid that my hands would betray me at the worst possible moment. Which they did. Constantly. Job interviews, presentations, first dates. Anytime people were watching and waiting for me to perform, my fingers would go numb and my brain would just... shut off. Like someone pulled the power cord. I called it ATSM—Anxiety That Stiffens Muscles. Stupid name, but I'm a programmer. I like labeling things, even when I can't fix them. The worst part? It killed my one real passion. I used to love billiards. Was actually decent at it, back in college. But after... well, after something happened that I don't really want to get into right now, I couldn't hold a cue stick without falling apart. So I did what any rational person would do: I gave up. Got a safe job, worked long hours, convinced myself I didn't need hobbies anyway. That plan worked great for about fifteen years. Then I made the mistake of running my mouth on TikTok, challenging the Queen of Nine-Ball to a match. Because apparently when you're having a midlife crisis, the smart move is to embarrass yourself in front of the best billiards player in Southeast Asia. This plot is about what happened after that. It's about meeting people who refused to let me quit, learning to fail in public without dying, and discovering that sometimes the only way forward is to go back and face the thing that broke you in the first place. It's also about billiards, obviously. But mostly it's about being brave enough to suck at something you love, in front of people who matter.

By the will of the goddess, Itsuki Shinomiya was given the privilege of choosing various abilities and being reborn in another world. However, before going to the other world, he didn’t want to involve himself in scary, dirty, gross things like battles. Fiercely determined to live a slow life, he chose the unique skill [Pocket Money], giving him an amount of money once per day. “With this, I can hang out with girls without having to work!” Dreaming of avoiding battles and living with cute girls, Itsuki stepped into the other world! But the reality was not that simple. Getting attacked by giant bugs, getting caught up in arguments at the guild, and getting stuck with s*aves?! In the end, will Itsuki be able to live his ideal slow life?! Using unique skills and manufacturing skills, an exciting other-world slow life with beautiful girls starts now! (hopefully)

(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

(Find the full book on already on RoyalRoad!) The gods make mistakes, and she is the greatest of them all. Can this accidentally chosen one save the world from herself? 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? Probably not, but it might be fun to see how she gets along. The world either thinks her a chosen one or a wicked lying heretic, only she knows that the truth isn't nearly that simple. A rise to the top tale, featuring themes of imposter syndrome, addiction and (found)family bonds. Warning; Ashtik isn't a superhero. Punches hurt like hell, and she gets her ass kicked a fair amount. This isn't a power fantasy, its a tragedy.
