``` "Era um jogo de sobrevivência." O grande Império de Alfaros estava em caos. Príncipe Regan estava retornando do campo de batalha após quatro anos. Anos atrás, ele costumava ser o príncipe mais belo do Império. Ironicamente, o mesmo príncipe era hoje conhecido como O Príncipe Mascarado. Diz-se que ele tinha uma grande cicatriz no rosto, um rosto que costumava ser muito bonito. A cicatriz era tão horrível que o Imperador se assustou quando a viu e o enviou para o campo de batalha. Mas a guerra havia acabado. E ele estava prestes a retornar. . . . Olhando para os olhos verdes que nem sequer piscavam ao ver seu rosto marcado pela cicatriz, Regan sentiu-se surpreso por um instante. Ao mesmo tempo, algo brilhou em seus olhos frios quando viu o quão calma ela parecia. "Qual é o seu nome?" "Evelyn, Vossa Alteza" "Evelyn..." Regan saboreou o nome em seus lábios. Seus olhos vermelhos olharam para o rosto dela que estava completamente impassível e ele disse "Evelyn, você será minha escrava pessoal a partir de hoje." Evelyn parecia calma. No entanto, com o passar do tempo, Evelyn percebeu que Regan queria mais. Muito mais do que ela poderia dar a ele. Ela tentou impedi-lo. Mas o que ela faria quando o príncipe colocasse seu coração nas mãos dela à força e estivesse adamantino em tomar o dela? Evelyn então optará por se afastar ou seguir em frente? Principalmente no momento em que os horrores de seu passado assombram seu coração __________ Esta história faz parte de um concurso, então se você gostou de ler, por favor apoie para encorajar o autor.

``` —Era un juego de supervivencia. El gran Imperio de Alfaros estaba en caos. El Príncipe Regan estaba regresando del campo de batalla después de cuatro años. Hace años, solía ser el príncipe más hermoso del Imperio. Irónicamente, el mismo príncipe era conocido hoy como El Príncipe Enmascarado. Se dice que tenía una enorme cicatriz en su rostro, un rostro que solía ser muy hermoso. La cicatriz era tan espantosa que el Emperador se asustó cuando la vio y lo mandó lejos al campo de batalla. Pero la guerra había terminado. Y él iba a regresar. Al mirar los ojos verdes que ni siquiera parpadearon ante la vista de su rostro marcado por la cicatriz, Regan se llenó de sorpresa por un momento. Al mismo tiempo, algo brilló en sus fríos ojos cuando vio lo tranquila que ella parecía. —¿Cuál es tu nombre? —Evelyn, Su Alteza. —Evelyn... Regan saboreó el nombre en sus labios. Sus ojos rojos la miraron a ella, cuyo rostro estaba completamente inexpresivo, y dijo: —Evelyn, serás mi esclava personal a partir de hoy. Evelyn parecía tranquila. Sin embargo, con el tiempo, Evelyn se dio cuenta de que Regan quería más. Mucho más de lo que ella podía darle. Ella intentó detenerlo. Pero, ¿qué podría hacer cuando el príncipe ponía su corazón en sus manos por la fuerza y estaba decidido a tomar el suyo? ¿Elegirá entonces Evelyn alejarse o seguir adelante? Especialmente en el momento en que los horrores de su pasado sombrean su corazón. Esta historia es parte del concurso, así que si disfrutas leyendo, por favor apoya para animar al autor.

Haruyo Aoyama is a best-selling fantasy author, known for his epic worlds and intense battle scenes. But when it comes to romance? He knows nothing. In fact, he avoids it like the plague. He’s never dated, never kissed anyone, and thinks love stories are nonsense. So when his little sister begs him to read her favorite BL manga, he barely makes it past chapter one before slamming it shut. “What is this unrealistic garbage?! No way guys actually act like this!” …Famous last words. The next morning, Haruyo wakes up as Ren, the main character of the very same BL manga he trashed! Even worse? He’s now the irresistible love interest of four ridiculously attractive men—each one ready to fight for his affection! As if that wasn’t bad enough, a mysterious system appears, demanding that he complete “romance missions”—or face terrifying penalties. From sudden love confessions to accidental kisses, Haruyo is stuck in a world ruled by BL clichés! Will he survive this insane reality, find a way back home, and keep his zero-romance streak intact? Or will he lose himself in the very love story he swore was unrealistic? One romance-averse author. Four devoted suitors. A system that won’t let him escape. For Haruyo, this might just be his greatest story yet.

Dunia ini berjalan seperti biasa... setidaknya, itulah yang selalu dia pikirkan. Raka, seorang siswa SMA biasa, hidup dengan perasaan hampa—seperti ada sesuatu yang hilang dari hidupnya, sesuatu yang dia tidak bisa ingat. Tapi di balik keseharian yang membosankan itu, realitas yang lebih besar sedang menunggu untuk mengungkapkan dirinya. Sebuah anomali ruang-waktu mengguncang dunia, menghadirkan 29 gadis yang seharusnya tidak pernah ada. Mereka berasal dari berbagai era dan dimensi, masing-masing membawa kekuatan luar biasa yang bisa mengubah hukum realitas itu sendiri. Namun, keberadaan mereka juga menjadi ancaman terbesar bagi dunia—dan organisasi rahasia di balik layar mulai bergerak untuk mengendalikan atau memusnahkan mereka. Saat Raka bertemu Aurelia, gadis pertama dari anomali tersebut, dia tanpa sadar mengikatkan takdirnya dengannya. Namun, satu per satu kebenaran tentang dunia, waktu, dan dirinya sendiri mulai terungkap. Kenapa hanya dia yang bisa menstabilkan keberadaan para gadis itu? Kenapa setiap kali dia menggunakan kekuatan mereka, dia merasakan luka dan trauma mereka? Dan yang paling penting... siapa dia sebenarnya? Di tengah pertempuran melawan organisasi rahasia, negara-negara besar, dan batas waktu dunia, Raka dihadapkan pada pilihan yang mustahil. Menikahi mereka semua... atau menyaksikan dunia hancur. Dan ketika semua ini berakhir, satu pertanyaan tetap menghantui: Apakah mereka benar-benar masih hidup?

Kaoru Kagami, known to his fans as the mysterious Erebus Kyrielight, is one of the manga world's rising stars, crafting epic tales of heroism and despair under the veil of anonymity. But behind his pen name lies a chuunibyo artist who spends more time summoning his "Abyssal Flame Technique" than meeting deadlines.
