*Slow Burn Historical Fantasy Novel* Elise wollte sich gerade in das Kleid umziehen, das in der Ecke ihres Bettes lag, als sie ein leises Klopfen an ihrer Tür hörte. Neugierig drehte sie den Türknauf und sah einen großen Mann vor sich aufragen. "Meister Ian!" rief sie. Ian lächelte mit dem üblichen schelmischen Grinsen, das er immer benutzte. Seine purpurroten Augen wanderten ein wenig durch ihr Zimmer und entdeckten das schwarze Kleid über ihrem Bett, dann richtete er seinen Blick auf die Frau, die vor ihm stand. Er trat einen Schritt vor und sprach. "Woher haben Sie dieses Kleid?" "Mr. Harland hat es mir geschenkt." antwortete Elise und reckte den Hals, um zu sehen, wie sich Ians Brauen in seiner Eleganz zusammenzogen. "Weißt du, warum ein Mann einer Frau gerne ein Kleid schenkt?" Er gab das Rätsel auf, bei dem sie immer zweimal überlegen musste, bevor sie antwortete. Doch dieses Mal fand sie keine Antwort und schüttelte stattdessen den Kopf. "Ich weiß es nicht." Sein Grinsen wurde betörend, als hätte sich tief in seinen scharlachroten Augen etwas geregt. Langsam ließ er seine Hand über den Kragen ihres Kleides gleiten, was ihr einen kalten Schauer über den Rücken jagte, der sie für einen Moment erschreckte, da es eiskalt war. Nachdem er die ersten beiden Knöpfe ihres Kragens geöffnet hatte, neigte er den Kopf nach unten und flüsterte ihr ins Ohr. "Weil sie derjenige sein wollen, der den Stoff auszieht." Er hielt inne und küsste ihren Hals, wobei sich die blasse Haut rötlich verfärbte, bevor er seine Bewegung zurückzog, sie mit seinen Augen fixierte und gemächlich antwortete. "Leider kannst du das Kleid da drüben damit nicht tragen." Er gluckste und reichte ihr eine Schachtel in die Hand. "Die gute Nachricht ist, dass ich ein Kleid für dich vorbereitet habe." Elise war ein verfluchtes kleines Mädchen, das Geister sehen konnte. Ihre Familie hasste sie und schmiss sie von einer Adoptivfamilie zur nächsten. Doch das Unglück kam nicht allein. Als sie von ihrer Tante aufgezogen wurde, wurde sie als Sklavin verkauft. Als sie dachte, sie würde nur ein Opfer für den Zauberer werden, wurde sie von einem Mann gerettet, dessen Identität ganz anders war als die eines normalen Fabelwesens. *** Dieses Buch ist ORIGINAL und keine Übersetzung Autorendiskord beitreten: https://discord.gg/YPKueb4

The moment Jiang Chen woke up in a cultivation world, he realized he wasn’t the hero—but the villain destined to fall under the protagonist’s blade. The so-called "Heaven's Chosen" was already set on a path of revenge against him, blessed with endless fortuitous encounters, loyal allies, and the protection of fate itself. Labeled an arrogant young master and despised by all, Jiang Chen seemed doomed to play his role as a mere stepping stone. But everything changed when the "Villain System" bound itself to him. A system that thrives on disrupting destiny, harvesting the protagonist's luck, and granting Jiang Chen terrifying power with every step he takes to destroy the narrative. Jiang Chen chuckled, "A protagonist protected by the heavens? Let's see how far you get when I strip you of everything you hold dear." The heavens may seek to crush him, but he’ll turn their chosen hero into nothing more than a pawn in his own story of ascension.

"Born too late to explore the seas and too early to explore the stars." This was a line that most people resonated with deeply, and Gray's emotions also resonated with it, even though he had no particular interest in exploring the world. Gray was someone who grew up reading about great conquerors like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. He admired their ambition and dreamed of becoming a legendary figure like them. Sadly, he felt he was born in the wrong era to fulfill those aspirations. However, one day while playing a video game, Gray suddenly found himself transmigrating to a new, apocalyptic world filled with magic and horrifying monsters. Instead of feeling fear, Gray was excited - this was the perfect opportunity to follow his grand ambitions. And Gray did just that. He fought and conquered for countless years, building a vast empire through sheer force of will. Yet even as his power grew, his heart grew weary and tired. Still, his empire showed no signs of stopping. It didn't take long for Gray to notice one unsettling thing: his wives had become all too eager in continuing the fight to expand his dominion over the world.

On the verge of her death, she made a wish to not encounter him again if there was a next life. She wished for the end of their fate only in this lifetime. She wanted to forget everything about him. However, when she opened her eyes again, she found herself in the room of the mansion of the man she just married. She was awakened by a dream that seemed to be a nightmare of her past life. She didn’t remember completely everything that had occurred in her past life and the dream was fragmented. But deep inside her heart, she only felt one thing. She was adamant about leaving him, to be far away from him. Therefore, she left his mansion just before she met him in person in the present lifetime. However, what she didn’t expect was that the so-called husband pursued her, not allowing her to leave him. Would Joanna be successful in leaving the man in this lifetime? Would fate play the same tragedy as her past life? --- As he pulled his finger away from her soft, warm lips, he said, “It is good you stopped winding up, Joanna. Otherwise, I would have used the other method to make you stop blabbering over the same, boring topic endlessly.” When he noticed the stubborn woman was about to prove herself to be stubborn, the man leaned forward in a swift movement, facing the woman’s stupefied face which was an inch away from his. “Continue to blabbering, don’t blame me if I apply my other method right now,” the man murmured above her breath, trailing his gaze from her quivering eyes to her lips before moving it back to her now widened eyes. --- *Cover doesn’t belong to the author.

I have been close to death more times than I can count. At the time of birth, I underwent an operation almost for a month, due to a damn metal piece stuck inside my stomach. Stabbed in the ribs by a lunatic psychopath? Check. Almost crushed by a falling piano? You bet it happened with me. Heck, I have even survived a lightning strike on a clear, sunny day. But the final nail in the coffin? I choked to death on a grape. A F**ING GRAPE! Dying at 24 because of a slippery fruit, life had a terrible sense of humor. Well, joke’s on me, I guess, because now I’m here—in the fantasy world of Extra Wants to Live, the one trashy web novel I binge-read after a bad breakup. And it's my luck that, I have transmigrated into the body of a villain character, just the day before he dies in the hands of his own maid. Whether I am lucky or unlucky is still debatable though. Welp, that's how it is. And, now I have to survive, not only from the hero and his entourage, but from the actual protagonist of that web novel, who also is a transmigrator like me. I knew the ending already, but........ Would I be able to survive till the end?

Marcus Evans was the epitome of an ordinary guy—stuck in a dead-end job, addicted to reading webnovels for a taste of excitement, and completely invisible in the grand scheme of life. His greatest joy was escaping into the pages of Decade Long Crusade, a sprawling epic where the hero, Ash Braker, rises from weakness to ultimate power in a world of magic, technology, and danger. But when Marcus wakes up one day in a body that isn’t his, in a world that feels disturbingly familiar, he quickly realizes the impossible: he’s been transmigrated into the Decade Long Crusade universe. However, there’s a catch. He’s not the hero, nor even a notable character. He’s an unknown extra, an expendable background figure doomed to die without making a mark on the story. To survive in a world where extras are crushed underfoot by stronger powers, Marcus knows he can’t play the game like a hero. The only way to protect himself is to manipulate the plot, ensure Ash Braker’s rise to power, and play the part of the ruthless villain who pulls the strings from the shadows. As the world of cultivation, magic, and futuristic technology threatens to swallow him whole, Marcus must make hard decisions, form dangerous alliances, and betray those who stand in his way. Because in this world, it’s better to be the villain than to die forgotten.

Zeriel is a powerful CEO, a multi-billionaire known for his cold and ruthless demeanor, a man who has everything,except a heart open to love. To the world, he’s a shrewd businessman with no tolerance for weakness or attachment, but in truth, Zeriel hides a far darker secret.

Born with ethereal wings and supernatural powers, he’s spent his life concealing his true identity, blending seamlessly into the human world. But Zeriel’s existence is shadowed by a curse: he is destined to die at thirty, a fate decreed at birth for being an “abomination” in the eyes of his people. To escape this grim destiny, Zeriel fled the fae realm and made a life among humans, focused solely on finding a way to break the curse. Love is not only unimportant to him; he believes it is a weakness, a trap for the foolhardy. Until he meets her: a human woman whose spirit challenges and infuriates him in equal measure.

As he battles his growing feelings, Zeriel is thrust into a dilemma. If he opens his heart to love, will he weaken himself and risk his only chance at survival? Or could this forbidden love hold the key to saving his life, transforming him into something his people could never imagine? Join Zeriel on a perilous journey where dark secrets unravel, battles are waged in both realms, and one love could alter the fate of two worlds. Will he defy his curse, or will his heart betray him when he needs it most?
