You know, the kind that dies before anyone even remembers their name? Armed with nothing but his knowledge of future events and a suspicious text from Sayuki. Terumi has to navigate a world of magic, technology, danger, and slightly overpowered main characters.

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/N: I don't do a lot of hand-holding, so you have to figure out the subtle and not-so-subtle stuff. Good luck. One early spring day, Alum and his classmates fell victim to a spatial quake—descending to Lethren—the strongest line of defense. The students gained magical abilities—not to be heroes, but just because it was expected. Even with the supernatural, Alum seemed aloof but more mellow—his world hadn’t changed, but the same couldn’t be said for those around him. However… that changed—he fell in love with a Saint at first sight. Saint Amethely, despite being new to the role, is loved by everyone. She is sweet, caring, and elegant but has to carry the grand legacy of her Grandmother, the previous Saint. Despite that, she was still a shy girl, slightly clumsy, with no romance experience. But only a few knew of her awkward side. So how could he make an elegant Imperial Saint fall for him…? He, who in this world was but a nobody? There were a few options—become recognizable. Except… the shy girl Amethely had already fallen in love at first sight—Alum being the culprit. An aloof youth whose world changed and an elegant Imperial Saint, how would their love blossom? But… change was never easy for someone like him. Whichever world—his was never kind. Even in this beautiful and vibrant world—incredible magic beasts and abominations were cruel and unyielding. Schedule: weekend or either Mon/Wed

In a world where power determines survival, Orion Valor is born into a cursed life despised by all humanity. Once an ordinary high school student, his reincarnation into a hated existence is anything but ordinary. Marked by an ancient curse, humans instinctively loathe him, but the beasts of the wild and the mystical races are irresistibly drawn to him. After taming his first beast, Orion’s dormant system activates, unveiling the truth behind his curse: it is both his greatest burden and his ultimate weapon. With intelligence sharpened by memories of his past life, Orion quickly learns that to survive in a world filled with hostility, he must embrace his darker instincts. Ruthless yet calculated, Orion kills without hesitation, forges alliances with powerful beasts, and forms bonds with non-human women who see him not as a monster, but as a leader and savior. Each intimate connection strengthens his power, granting him new abilities and unlocking the secrets of his curse. As Orion navigates the hostile lands of humans, the loyalty of his beast companions and the devotion of his growing harem pave the way for his rise as a force the world cannot ignore. But the truth behind his curse may shatter everything—or become the key to reshaping the world itself. In a tale of power, survival, and ambition, Orion Valor sets out to forge his destiny, not as a hero, but as a ruler who will conquer everything that stands in his way.

Eating curry and gaming all night - that was my original plan. But fate had other ideas. Instead of relaxing in my room, I got sucked into a portal and landed in a bath. Not just any bath, though. I nearly got myself killed by a powerful woman, only to find out I was in my future mother-in-law’s bathhouse. And if that wasn’t enough, she wants me to marry her daughter. Yeah. This definitely wasn’t how I imagined my night going. Since I was here already, I figured, might as well enjoy my life a bit. I mean, what choice did I have? I’d somehow ended up in another world, got almost killed by my future mother-in-law, and now, apparently, I had to marry her daughter. If life was going to throw this kind of chaos my way, I might as well make the most of it, right? Who knows what kind of adventures awaited me? Might as well lean into it and see where this strange, new path leads. And in a place like this, where power and beauty collided, things could get... intense. But rest assured, I had no intention of diving into any unnecessary drama. No Yuri, no NTR - just a bit of spice and a lot of twists in this strange, new life of mine. ----------- Atleast 2 updates per day. 100 Power Stones/ 2 extra updates on sunday 250 Power Stones/ 5 extra updates on sunday

[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.

*Character illustrations in the auxiliary chapter.* Born and raised as a nameless shadow guard for his kingdom’s crown prince, his life’s purpose was to be used and discarded at the whims of his liege. And his meaningless life ended when the gaze of a princess lingered on him for too long. The crown prince had him beheaded without a second thought, as if throwing out trash. Transmigrating into the body of a baby girl, the nameless shadow finally had a name, a family, and a place to call her own. Throwing away his past, the shadow guard was now called ‘Emilia’, and walked on a new path to seek fulfillment. It was not meant to be, however, as the girl whom she had loved with all her heart and soul ended up mercilessly plunging a dagger through Emilia's love-struck heart at the highest point in her life. The crowd clamored at the ‘deserved death of the villainess’, and at that moment, the shadow could only wonder… why? Why am I always the one to dedicate myself fully to someone, only to be thrown away like trash in the end? And thus, as her soul floated away while cursing in resentment, ‘Emilia’ vowed to herself that in her next life she shall never be the one to fully dedicate herself. Whatever she likes shall be held in her palm, and shall never escape! The moment the vow was made, a self-proclaimed villainess system proposed to partner with her, to explore and conquer the worlds through their anchors—the heroes and heroines. And by cultivating this energy, she shall one day go back. Back to the world she was born as ‘Emilia’ in, and face the so-called heroine once more. The second time they meet, Emilia won’t be the one drowning in regret! ... Current cover was drawn by Scal2let, and commissioned by The Shadow King of Hearts (I love it so much, it's amazing, ahhh!!!
