Vanguard Japanese

Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts". Prince an innocent hearted prince of the Bourbon Kingdom, one day has his life thrown into chaos by betrayal, and inherits an "Artifact" that is the ancient spirit of "The Dark King". Through misfortune after misfortune, Prince eventually loses everything and starts his life over without a royal name. Prince vows to make his way back to the top hiding amongst the everyday people of France. Prince is a Japanese style light novel based on Machiavelli’s classic "The Prince". Although this work takes influence from it, the story, quotes, and characters are all completely original. It is mostly the concept of good and evil that is borrowed from Machiavelli.

Claiming an unusual skill called Internet Web Surfing, Hikaru discovers he can order anything from Earth, be it tools, food, or weapons, and have it delivered to this new world. Armed with this overpowered ability, he decides it's time for a fresh start. No more playing the obedient, goody-two-shoes husband. This is his second chance, and he’s going to seize it unapologetically. Unshackled from the rules and expectations of his previous life, Hikaru embarks on a hedonistic journey of pleasure and power. Not even strict doctrines, awkward surprises, or ancient taboos will stop him from indulging in his desires and conquering everything—and everyone—he sets his sights on. **** Amateur writer so please ignore my grammar. It's kind of like wish fulfillment, so MC will not be facing tense situation and betrays and stuff. There will be NTR but MC will be the one doing the did always. No questionable things, all normal 18+ kinks. I am a big believer in enjoyment on both sides, so the erotic scenes will never be one sided.
