Fated to Die? Not with My Favorability System

RiftbornAsh
Leonard, an old man who lived an obedient yet unfulfilling life, is reborn as the illegitimate son of a powerful duke in a medieval fantasy world. However, this is no second chance at luxury—his family despises him, his stepmother plots his death, and his half-brother sees him as nothing more than a stain on their noble lineage. When the duke orders him to join the Hero’s party—a death sentence for someone without talent—Leonard realizes he is nothing more than a disposable pawn. But just as despair creeps in, a voice echoes in his mind. [Ding! The Favorability System is bound!] Now, Leonard has the power to gain Favorability Points from people around him. The stronger their favor toward him, the more of their talents he can steal. From noble ladies to legendary knights, he must use charm, manipulation, and strategy to survive in a world where power is everything. As the shadows of war loom and the so-called "Hero" reveals his true nature, Leonard must decide—will he remain a pawn in their game, or will he seize destiny for himself? > "I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com under the username [yadava]."

The Dragon Heir's Secret Mother

She is his enemy. He wants her son. And he just asked her to marry him. “Marry me.” “W-What?” Selene came to the Northern Territory under a false name—Lina—with a single goal: to uncover the truth behind the black scales on her son’s shoulder and the identity of his mysterious father. Instead of answers, she finds herself face-to-face with Caelis Valerian, the Grand Duke of the North—a man feared for his ruthlessness toward mages, yet revered as the unwavering protector of the beast clans. To the world, Lina is nothing more than an ordinary woman. But in truth, she is Selene—a powerful mage and swordswoman, feared by bandits and respected by mortals. Her son, Claude, however, appears to be an ordinary little boy. So why does the Grand Duke take such a keen interest in him… to the point of naming him his heir? To make Claude his legitimate successor, Caelis offers Lina a three-year contract marriage—one she cannot refuse. What begins as a cautious arrangement soon shifts. Trust grows as the distance between them fades, and before they realize it, love begins to bloom. But love built on secrets is fragile. Selene is the legendary Lunar Frost Sovereign—the very enemy Caelis has been hunting, with a bounty placed on her head. And Caelis, unaware of the truth, hesitates to grow closer to her, believing her heart still belongs to the man who fathered Claude… his own brother. When the truth is finally revealed, will their love survive—or will their contract marriage shatter before it ever truly begins?
