Love of Fortune and Steel is a historical fantasy that weaves together romance, comedy, adventure, and the clash of worlds. James, a modern-day banker with an unwavering passion for history, experiences an extraordinary transformation during a routine museum visit. A mysterious supernatural force transmigrates him into a parallel medieval realm—a world familiar yet distinctly altered with its own unique nations, rulers, customs, and the presence of mana, a mystical energy that enhances martial prowess. In this enigmatic land, James encounters Bisera, a formidable and strikingly beautiful general of the Vakerian Empire, locked in a desperate struggle against the powerful Gillyrian Empire. Utilizing items granted by the supernatural entity, James saves Bisera’s life. Grateful and believing him to be a divine emissary sent by the Universal Spirit in response to her prayer, Bisera invites James to join her in defending the Vakerian Empire. As two souls isolated by their disparate worlds, a profound romance swiftly ignites between them. However, Bisera’s devout faith and the heavy burden of her responsibilities compel her to restrain their relationship, fearing that any overt passion might conflict with her duties and incur the wrath of the Universal Spirit, condemning their souls and the Vakerian Empire to ruin. James, enthralled by Bisera’s personality and talent, finds himself irresistibly drawn to her, yet frustrated by the invisible barriers she maintains. The vast differences in their worldviews and customs, coupled with James’s determination to return to his own world—an eventuality that might irrevocably separate them—act as chains on their blossoming love. With his modern knowledge and items, along with Bisera’s reliance on him, James quickly becomes an invaluable asset to the Vakerian Empire. However, this also makes him a target of Vakerian court politics and Gillyrian diplomacy. Their bond is further tested with the arrival of Saralta, a bold and free-spirited cavalry commander from the Vakerian steppes. In stark contrast to Bisera’s reserved and devout nature, Saralta pursues James with unbridled confidence and charm, challenging Bisera’s deeply held beliefs. Saralta’s liberal approach to love ignites a complex and often comical love triangle, forcing Bisera to confront her fear of losing James to Saralta’s advances and her greater dread of endangering their souls should they succumb to their feelings. As the Gillyrian onslaught intensifies, James, Bisera, and Saralta are swept into a maelstrom of love, duty, and faith. Bisera grapples with her unwavering sense of duty and steadfast faith, torn by the love that binds her to James. Saralta oscillates between the allure of freedom and the demands of propriety. Meanwhile, James must navigate his deep emotional devotion to Bisera and his fiery physical attraction to Saralta, all while striving to find a way between the two worlds before losing them both.

The Fake Hero’s Misadventures is a comedic fantasy novel that follows the hilarious and heart-pounding journey of Jaeho, an ordinary man who has been inexplicably chosen as the "Hero of Prophecy" in a world that believes him to be their savior. But there’s one small problem—Jaeho isn’t the real hero. He’s just a regular guy who accidentally found himself in the hero’s shoes. With his newfound fame, overwhelming expectations, and an entire kingdom cheering for his every move, Jaeho must navigate the treacherous path of being a hero without actually knowing how to be one. His lack of skills becomes a running joke, and every victory is achieved more by sheer luck and the quiet intervention of his brilliant (and somewhat overbearing) subordinate, Kaia. As the kingdom celebrates his supposed triumphs, Jaeho must juggle countless misunderstandings, the ever-growing burden of living a lie, and his growing attraction to the beautiful and powerful women who orbit around him—some of whom think he’s the real deal. Meanwhile, Jaeho’s own growing suspicion that the true hero is actually his quiet, capable subordinate only deepens the chaos. Amidst the comedy of errors, political intrigue, and unexpected romance, Jaeho finds himself in over his head. He may not be the hero everyone thinks he is, but with every new misadventure, he begins to wonder: Is it too late to be the hero the kingdom needs, or is it all just one big, hilarious misunderstanding? Filled with witty dialogue, improbable victories, and a cast of lovable, quirky characters, The Fake Hero’s Misadventures is an epic tale of mistaken identity, romance, and what happens when you accidentally become a legend.
