Farming Harem Web

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!

A guinea pig in a scientific experiment, I must now satisfy the duties of a samurai—and all the women in my household.

Betrayed and murdered by his fiancée in a theater where he once performed, Haruna Beifong dies with the bitter taste of betrayal on his lips. But death isn't the end – a mysterious deity, amused by his tragic fate, offers him a second chance at life in another realm. Reborn as Ash in a world populated entirely by female elves, he quickly discovers that escaping one treacherous world has only led him into another's dangerous game of power. In Sylvara, one of the great cities of the Selenian Empire, the Elf empire, Ash finds himself entangled in the secrets of a society on the brink of crisis. Yet in this realm where male beings haven't existed for millennia, Ash's very presence threatens to unravel the fabric of elven society. As he navigates political schemes and ancient mysteries, he must decide: will he repeat the mistakes of his past life, or has death taught him enough to recognize friend from foe in a world where beauty often masks deadly intentions? In a society where power is concentrated in the hands of immortal female elves who reproduce asexually, Ash's arrival might either be their salvation or the catalyst for their downfall. After all, old habits die hard – and falling for beautiful, dangerous women seems to be one of his habits that survived even death itself. Join Ash as he journeys to reclaim his rightful place in this world of beautiful elves. #My entry into this year’s WSA Your support would mean everything to me!

[IT'S NETORI, not the disgusting Netorare] COUGH Since our lazy author-nim is a bit... let's say, challenged in the synopsis-writing department, I'm stepping in.
