Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts". Prince an innocent hearted prince of the Bourbon Kingdom, one day has his life thrown into chaos by betrayal, and inherits an "Artifact" that is the ancient spirit of "The Dark King".

Prince vows to make his way back to the top hiding amongst the everyday people of France. Prince is a Japanese style light novel based on Machiavelli’s classic "The Prince". Although this work takes influence from it, the story, quotes, and characters are all completely original. It is mostly the concept of good and evil that is borrowed from Machiavelli.

He awakens in a mysterious, otherworldly room, where he encounters an all-powerful entity. This being grants Kazuki a unique ability and presents him with a grim ultimatum: he must travel to various universes and complete missions assigned by the entity, or his own universe will be deleted. After seven days of grueling training with Enea—the guy who had kidnapped him—Kazuki is sent on his first mission. Together with Enea, he arrives in a world where dinosaurs never went extinct. Here, humans reside in massive, fortified cities. While some individuals venture beyond the walls, ordinary people rarely leave their safety. The world boasts advanced technologies far beyond those of the 21st century in some fields, and some inhabitants wield powers reminiscent of dinosaur traits. Their mission: uncover and thwart a rebellion brewing in the shadows of one such colossal city.

Hunter, a bold transfer student, finds himself thrust into the unfamiliar halls of a prestigious, Japanese-dominated school. From the moment he steps onto campus, he realizes he’s out of his depth—cultural norms, strict rules, and a school hierarchy that doesn’t tolerate stepping out of line. But none of that prepares him for his first encounter with Yukio—a charming yet unapologetically eccentric girl who takes a peculiar interest in him. What begins as a budding friendship takes a bizarre turn when Yukio reveals her true nature: she’s a self-proclaimed “perverted entity.” Intrigued and not one to back down, Hunter challenges her with a bold claim—he’s more perverted than she is. Thus begins an outrageous competition that spirals into a series of escalating dares, pranks, and teasing moments that blur the line between rivalry and romance. However, the stakes are far greater than Hunter realizes. The school’s ironclad rules, enforced ruthlessly by the Principal and a formidable Student Council, leave no room for misconduct. As Hunter’s antics with Yukio and a growing circle of admirers draw more attention, the Student Council begins to see him as a threat to the school’s pristine reputation. Yet, despite their suspicions, Hunter’s cunning ensures they can’t pin any infractions on him.

The concept of essence grapples with the notion of particularity. When we focus on an individual, we are pointing out the idiosyncracy of their essential nature. Therefore, in this narrative, it all commences with a simple gift from a friend—a Dating Game from a renowned Japanese company. On Christmas Eve, tragedy strikes as he is murdered. But as he closes his eyes, a blinding flash of light transports him to an unknown location. Upon awakening, disorientation reigns as he gazes upon a different room through unfamiliar eyes. His reflection, once a mirror to his former self, reveals a startling revelation: "W-What is this? This person I see in the mirror, who is he?" Here, the juxtaposition of the insignificance of his old self and the allure of his new identity serves as a symbolic crossroads. It plunges his psyche in a conventional understanding of self-sufficiency and the authentic self. Thus, he embraces the name Nakamura Takumi, becoming the very embodiment of the dating game's protagonist. [Note: This is the same history on Wattpad (in spanish) and on HoneyFeed (But it's abandoned), I'm the same guy. Also, the illustrations are from an AI, so, There's gonna be errors!] [It should be noted that there will be a few characters/dialogues in Japanese, but with the translation/meaning obviously]

"When a decent living and resourceful young teenager is manipulated by a destructive "Kitsune (Japanese fox spirit)/or to say Huli Jing (Chinese fox spirit)", his life takes a drastic turn. The fox spirit, unaware of the true nature of their pact, forms a love contract with him. As they gradually fall for each other, this becomes the boy's greatest problem. Complicating matters further is the involvement of powerful gods from "Chinese and Japanese mythologies",the Tiānshì (Divine Messengers) of the Chinese gods - East, West, South, North, and Central - and the Mikoto (Divine Messenger) of the Japanese gods, particularly the central deity, Amaterasu Omikami, become entangled in their fate. Unbeknownst to the boy, the Kitsune/Huli Jing is an extraordinary, destructive fox spirit born from the combined spiritual energy of six Japanese and Chinese fox spirits. In ancient times, she was notoriously difficult to seal, requiring the collective efforts of fifteen Chinese and Japanese gods and goddesses from each direction. "Now, in the present, she has broken free from her seal, empowered by her accumulated strength". Having been sealed since childhood, she has forgotten most of her powers. However, this forgetfulness proves advantageous, as she begins to experience human emotions. Unfortunately, this newfound humanity also means facing the wrath of the gods, their Tiānshì, and Mikoto . And lastly that the female lead and the main character doesn't know his identity." Note: the cover is an ai generated I just added the title

Synopsis: Takeshi Mori, a aimless 40 year Japanese man having retired early in life with riches now wonders through the empty city streets at midnight as usual wondering what to do with his life, but that is all shattered as while looking up momentarily he sees an unfathomably big eye staring down at him, with one blink to check if he's too sleep deprived he is gone in an instant.

What is the mark on his hand and what are the increasingly loud howls and growls he can hear coming his way?

It'll also have some romance but it'll be a slow burn and i mean SLOW burn. Also i would recommend reading the prologue to get the whole picture and not just jumping into chapter 1. And just a reminder but this is not just a story but the life of the character that is Takeshi Mori, so there isn't just random conflict constantly or too unexpected plot points and progression, i want to make it realistic as i can without boring you guys too much but it's my story so i can do whatever the hell i want. Either stay or leave. Person 1: Hey do you know where my dandelion is? Person 2: Um it's just over there. That's Your Dandelion right? Absolute Cinema: Those who know
