Asterisk

A different kind of Portal Fantasy where the struggle lies on the other side. Four years ago, a portal to a world called Earth appeared in the Night Realm. Now, Karl Bloodthrone, the Count of Crimson Vale struggles to maintain hold of his territory. But when an unexpected event binds him to a Dark Girmoire, he might finally have a fighting chance to protect himself and his territory. _______ [Rated to what degree] (if you see an asterisk *, consider the chapter to constitute R rated content) * - Mildly Stimulating ** - Somewhat Erotic *** - All hands off the deck What to expect: - Rise in both personal and territorial power - A meaningful Harem of under 10 females (not exactly sure how many there will be - Fast power progression (since this is a harem fic, we have to focus on other elements also) - Lemons (R-18 is there for a reason) Acknowledgement: The cover belongs to author.

Owen Asterisk is a background person. He has friends but no good friend or best friend. Even his mom and dad neglect him for his sister but it is okay. He did not mind it at all. He found love in novels, fanfiction, anime and manga. He very strongly believed in the existence of the supernatural and always wanted to get a grasp of it, but at the age of 24 he finally realised .......... it was all a lie. There is nothing like that. There were no heros or villans, there were no devils, no angel (or fallen angel) no dragons and no parallel reality. IT WAS ALL A LIE. But the question is that, will it be a lie for long? Watch as the world of Owen (Figuratively AND Literally) takes a huge turn when he discovers a golden lamp

He came to this world wondering why him? He was a fake, a fraud. He thought that he was prepared for the inevitable, for the moment he would have to return the name that was never his.. He thought he was ready, but he wasn't. If not the Prince of Besirique, who was he? ~~~ WHAT IS A MAN TO DO WHEN HE BECOMES THE SON OF A KING? In his past life, he was a boy with nothing to his name. In this life, the First Prince of Besirique, the Son of Sirvas. Finding himself in the midst of a palace scheme on his first day of being reborn, Ulfstead is unsure of what he should do. With arms and legs swaddled, his only prospects are to cry, sleep, and ponder the meaning of life. Read on to find out how this fake Prince grows up protects his Kingdom! This story is most definitely a world-building novel! It's just... Why is his cousin brother so sticky, his fake eunuch so touchy, or the slave boy he picked up so... hungry? These men will fight for their King (in more ways than one.) Future King/First Prince: QAQ? **** Chapters marked with an asterisk * mean they contain sexually explicit language. I will do my best to provide a chapter summary if it is necessary to the plot. If it does not, then disregard these chapters if you prefer reading just for the story. This story was originally titled 'The Rise of the Regent'. Thank you for your support!

Forced to leave behind his life on Earth, Max begins a precarious journey into the unknown world of magic. Training as a knight, learning to control mana, battling rogue necromancers and even being mistaken for Duke Walker's son... it's just one thing after the next.

Note: webnovel doesn't allow for italics as far as we know so you will come across parts that are nested inside double asterisks. You will see "**" at the start of those sections and another "**" at the end. These serve as flashbacks, dream sequences, or generally things that are going on in one characters head. Naturally these parts will be in first person. Austin was just your typical adolescent with normal issues. Until fate threw him into the path of the vampyre princess Cereza el Bernard.

[AUTHOR'S NOTE: Remastered the entire thing because I didn't like the writing and the fast progress of the story] When reading: "Quotation marks are for dialogues" **Double Asterisks mean important to remember words, phrases, etc.** 'Apostrophes are either for flashbacks or emphasis' (Parenthesized words are for side comments) {Brackets are for onomatopoeia and sometimes, feelings and detailed actions}

*TW: suicide Beauty, someone or something that is pleasing to the eye. And for the most part, a beautiful person is perceived to lead a beautiful life. At least that is what most people think. This perception of theirs was just an idealism seen through rose-coloured glasses, and it would never be anything more than that. Of course, Chen Aiyu would know. Her mother was a model, her father a nobody, and somewhere along the way, she came to join the family. She knew she was pretty, after all no one ever let her forget it. The moment she met someone new, they’d comment on how she looked. Initially it was flattering, but then it started to feel artificial. She never questioned it, why would they lie to her? But at the same time, why bring it up if it was so obvious she was pretty? It was because they were trying to butter up to her, wanting her for themselves. A pretty friend to brag about, a pretty girlfriend to show off to others. It was never for her sake, only for their own. Aiyu hated looking in the mirror. All the distress in her life, all the suffering she was going through, it was caused by that very face. But what could she do about it? Absolutely nothing. It made her feel so powerless when it was something that was supposed to make her feel powerful. People looked at her face and claimed it was the paragon of beauty. People sought after her face, contrastingly saying that they were suffering because they weren’t as pretty as her. He yelled at her, screamed at her, for what? For not returning his love? Why? It was not her fault she didn’t love him back. It was not her fault he assumed she had feelings for him. It was not her fault he decided to confess his feelings in front of everyone. Yet she was still blamed for it. The people pitied him and pointed their nasty fingers at her. You humiliated him! They would say, and she would wonder, what did I do? But for a person who has never had a break from being scrutinised and criticised against her whole life, it was nothing she couldn’t handle. The situation only slipped out of control when he brought her family into it. She told him not to, but he still did. They died, they were gone. The guilt, all over her head, her arms, her legs, her body. And no matter how hard she scrubbed it wouldn’t rub off. It’s your fault, it’s your fault. The same words over and over, just that this time, she believed it was true. *In the midst of being rewritten! An asterisk (*) will be inserted where I have rewritten until.
