He has been a victim of ridicule and isolation, with classmates teasing him about his appearance and hair. As the bus rumbles along the deserted streets, Alastair feels the weight of the world on his shoulders, knowing that his father treats him like a soldier. As he enters the schoolyard, he sees Eren, the school's poster boy for ignorance, loitering near the bike racks. Alastair feels humiliated and surprised that someone dares to stand up for him, and that it is a girl, Liana Castellanos. Liana's determination and strength make Alastair feel a spark of hope ignite within him, a warmth that battles the coldness of the rain. As they walk together, Alastair feels a sense of solidarity and hope, a feeling he had almost forgotten about having an ally. The weight of his father's disapproval has been a constant companion for so long, and Alastair's journey continues to shape his perspective on life.

The fic will not have Yaoi or any NTR, if I do ramance sex scenes would only be implied since I don’t want to loose focus on the actual plot like the many horny writers out there do. For that same reason there will not be any harem since writers who write harem fics tend to focus more on harem building than they do on the actual plot or growth of non female side characters. ____ last note: This isn’t my first attempt at writing a fanfiction but the first fanfiction I have decided to try and commit to. I can’t make any promises on quality but rest assured the only reason I haven’t wrote before is because I care about the quality. most of my issues with writing stem from overthinking something or trying to follow too close to cannon. my goal for the story is break both of those habits. try not to flame me too much in the comments.

… Due to a series of misunderstandings, Lin Yuxing, a poor student, is mistakenly identified as the love interest of the aloof campus heartthrob, Gu Zhongyi. Lin Yuxing: Please stop spreading rumors and don’t interfere with my part-time job. Gu Zhongyi: I have too many pursuers, and I happen to need a shield. The monthly salary can be negotiated. Lin Yuxing: Hello, Senior Gu, I am the best shield you can have! In front of the seemingly unapproachable Gu Zhongyi, Lin Yuxing receives special treatment.

Kael Valen’s life had always been defined by his ego, but everything changed the moment he met Serena Winters—a woman whose strength came not from a sense of superiority but from the scars of her past. She had learned to protect herself through hardship, a survivor of battles fought in silence, with a singular focus on achieving her dreams. They were worlds apart. His ambitions consumed him, and he rarely considered the feelings of others; she was a strong-minded woman who valued resilience over pride and self-reliance over dependence. Their lifestyles, ways of communicating, and understanding of love were at odds. He saw love as something to possess and control, while she saw it as a partnership, an exchange of mutual respect and growth. Could they bridge this gap, or would their differences be too great to overcome? Would their love evolve into something that transcends their pasts, or would it fall apart, a casualty of their contrasting views on life and love? Ultimately, their fates were uncertain, but one thing was clear: love, if ever meant to be, would demand transformation from both. Whether they ended up together or apart, they would never be the same again.

Hello! I am Lucian, or in this life Kenneth Des Velezerk.  I was a normal university-going student in my previous life and I was having the time of my life. I had a beautiful girlfriend, good grades, and an easy side job that made me decent money and I could care for my family. Everything was great. But, I was too much of a party animal.

But... unexpected twists keep catching me off guard.... Why is the crown prince in love with me ?!

Fate can sometimes be misleading, like who could have thought that a nobody like me had to save the world. "Bastard die already!". [You've been beheaded] [Loading save file] It's kind of annoying having a responsibility that big. "rhaaaaaaar!" [You've been incinerated] [Loading save file] Thing is, sometimes it feels impossible to achieve my goal. "You have fought well kid, you have gained an assured position on my undead army". [You've withered] [loading save file] But at the same time it's addicting. "No mortal should have this information". [You've been slayed]. Each new life saved, each victory, each conclusion I reach sent me closer to the truth. Who I was? Who gave me that power? What will happen in the end? Despite everything I was still myself. I think? *Heavily inspired on re:Player by Ethel_Imaginations.
