Nanami Overtime

I Built A Tech Empire With System

--ORIGINAL NOVEL-- Lin Yun, an ordinary programmer in his thirties, worked tirelessly for a meager salary. Tragically, he met his untimely demise while working overtime at an exploitative company. Unexpectedly, he woke up in the body of his younger self. However, he soon discovered that the world he had arrived in was completely different from Earth. The technology in some aspects was outdated, reminiscent of the late 1990s on Earth. A smartphone was simply a fantasy, and the mobile internet was still in its infancy. The most popular game was a simple block-stacking game. Upon realizing this, Lin Yun became ecstatic. The once-subsided flame of ambition in his heart was reignited. Since the God of Transmigration had bestowed this precious opportunity upon him, he would live his life to the fullest and fulfill all the dreams he had in his previous life! Just as Lin Yun's mind drifted into a bright future, a cold voice suddenly resounded in his mind... [Ding!

My roommate's always flirting with me

Tara couldn’t believe her bad luck. Out of all the people looking for a roommate, she ended up with her boss, Selena. Selena—known for her sharp wit, enchanting looks, and a rumored history with a few past coworkers—had a reputation as the office “temptress.” Watching Selena move with that effortless allure, Tara silently vowed to keep a safe, respectful distance. But on the very first night of living together, that same untouchable boss ended up sleepwalking… right into Tara’s room, wrapping herself around her with surprising softness and refusing to let go, nestled into Tara’s chest as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Keeping her calm, Tara gingerly extricated herself, stepped onto the balcony, and drank a full glass of ice water—despite the frigid winter temperatures. “She’s straight. You’re just roommates. Don’t even think about catching feelings,” Tara told herself, hoping her resolve would hold. But Selena seemed determined to ignore any “distance.” After dodging yet another one of Selena’s friendly but borderline flirtatious invitations, Tara found herself cornered in the underground parking lot after work. Under the dim lights, Selena’s eyes sparkled with a hint of red at the corners. “Are you like everyone else? Do you hate me?” she asked, her voice tinged with unexpected hurt, a stubbornness that was oddly… sweet. The usual polite words Tara had on hand somehow lodged in her throat. Flustered, she stammered, “No… I’m just scared I might fall for you.” Selena had a secret: she was totally smitten with the company’s new intern. There was something about Tara’s quiet warmth and that little spark of defiance that pulled Selena in. So much so, that Selena willingly traded her comfortable apartment for a cramped 700-square-foot rental—just to be closer to her crush. She even went out of her way to “accidentally” create situations that would draw them together. But her darling intern remained unmoved, cool and reserved, her demeanor bordering on chilly. When a close friend pointed out that no one wants to room with their boss, saying, “Living with your boss just feels like working overtime every night,” Selena pouted but couldn’t deny it. Resting her head against Tara’s shoulder, Selena couldn’t help but think, Too true… I do have her working ‘overtime’ every night.

LOST WITHOUT HIM

We cooked the breakfast in peace and tranquillity, so focused on the process to not even chit-chat in between. Or probably it was just me, too gone in the process of cooking to notice his stare on me. "Hikari..." "Yeah?" I don't look up from the bowl I'm mixing batter in, until I feel his presence right behind me. His hands began crawling up my arms, I let go of the bowl, and he turns me around. "Yes Taehyung?" a smirk forms on the corner of his lips and a shiver goes down my spine, this couldn't be good. "Up." Up? What could that possibly mean? Then it strikes me, I feel his hands wrapping around my waist, he wants me to sit on the kitchen counter. So I jump instinctively. I bit my lip out of habit, while he spreads my legs and walks forward, leaving no space between us. "Unbutton my shirt." I was hesitant but my hands followed his demands unwilling to upset him. My fingers were trembling against his buttons, his constant gaze upon me following each action of mine rendered me diffident. God why won't my hands stay calm, I strived hard to unbutton his fourth button when his hands engulfed mine and I bit my lip as he made me look up at him. "My turn."  My eyes widened on realisation as his hands swiftly reached the hem of my shirt. He leisurely unbuttoned my shirt, his eyes never leaving my face, he was absorbing every bit of my bashfulness, every reaction I made.  I felt a chill across my chest, and that's when I noticed that he was done with his task. "I love your sub nature."  I like his dominant side too, but at times he was too intimidating for me to bare with. "Kiss me." I gulped and reached for his lips, and to my surprise he stepped backwards and giggled. "Kiss me Hikari." I jumped off the counter and reached to kiss his lips yet again but he stood straight, he was too tall for me to reach without him bending down. "I can't...." I shrugged at his unusual demand to which he was being uncooperative. "Disobeying me, are you?" He expression switched to a daunting one, and I blinked in response and shook my head. "But I don't see you following my instructions?" I gulp as he advances towards me.. __________ Hikari Yi is a girl of a grim, fatalistic world, the love of a family was never one of her assets. Away from the fallen realm of her father’s menacing territory, she leads an independent life. Little did she know the world she was running away from, was advancing towards her at a pace faster than she was travelling at. Hikari admires a world famous boy band, the ORIONS, consisting of seven members. She somehow receives an offer to look after them as a manager or a caretaker. As unexpected as it looks, it isn't. The more time she spends around them, she grows infatuated with one of the seven. Are the feelings mutual? Is he the one to fill the void of solicitude in her life? Overtime, mysteries unfold, what was Hikari's past? What other plans does she have for the boyband she adore? What secrets has she locked? As it is, it isn’t just her.

Two Genders, Same Personality

Disclaimer: [This novel is a semi-spin off story of another story I, Xalysian, haven't posted yet on Webnovel. This is a modern fantasy set in a different world although acts so similarly to the real world we're in.] [Paused, do read GRaD instead... will have smut scenes in Volume 2] Agenda, like Earth, had its own history. From the beginning of time, there was a dream born from the minds of two beautiful Goddesses, Astrade and Lionella. That dream later became a world born of life, the world took on a name, Agenda, to keep on nurturing its environment overtime. Through many histories of the past from wars to legends and lastly, memories, the world finally became at peace. Free of world ending threats of the old, free of suffocation caused by the Conqueror who was the sole reason behind the countless nightmares in the olden past. Now, we're settled in a world of peace. In the modern era of Agenda, in the country of Ridgea. We set our eyes on a little incident that caused a young man and a young woman had a dispute on what was going on with their lives. Beginning from the start of their fated morning, the man had woken up from his sleep only to find a girl sleeping beside him. Excited at the sight of her bold appearance? Indeed, one could admire such beauty. Flustered from the surprise after realising it wasn't a dream? Hell yeah! One could say that they managed to hit a jackpot! However... This man was frustrated by the beautiful sleeping girl in his bed with questions in his mind. "Who the f**k is she? And why does she looked like me?" [P.S., I'm bad with synopsis. I don't know whether I should explain the world first or just go right into the story. However, this is a spin off story based on the same world as my other works (not in Webnovel yet, since I'm terrible at keeping up with my own updates).] [P.S.S., Not recommended for people under the age of 18. Several light NSFW or full on NSFW content ahead.] Tags: [Supernatural] [Fantasy] [Spin-off] [Slice of Life] [Action] [Romance] [Comedy] [Modern-setting] [School] [P.S.S.S., Don't get your hopes up, I don't intend to fully explore the spin-off series as I'm experimenting with this concept.]
