Author here: 1.This is not a romance or harem as I personally don't like them both. It's more about the mcs rather than just all time lady's man. 2.Those who are here after seeing betrayal tag should know that it'll happen at the start of the story and then far later. Starting chapters after transmigration are gonna be full of fluff(I die of there cuteness). I can't make my main characters suffer too much right at the start. 3. They both had their own differences, weaknesses with a lot of clashes but they were willing to become the strength of the other. 4.One of the mc gets transmigrated into a novel whose protagonist turns out to be his soul bond, also an overpowered hero of past. 5.There are two main characters: Aizeleo Reaper and Lunar Light Stanford (I don't care about anyone else jk) 6.Academy arcs, training arcs, fights, tournaments and system everything you need is here. 7.I am a student so can't upload a lot but I'll try to post at least 1 or 2 chapters a week. 8.The cover is not mine. So if you want me to change it just message me. 9.Thank you all who are still here. I hope you like it.
