THE LAST SIGNAL BEFORE DAWN

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.

After transmigrating into the body of the **Fourth Kazekage, Rasa**, he quickly realizes just how dire Sunagakure’s situation truly is. Barren land. Scarce resources. Endless sandstorms… Crushed by **Iwagakure**, extorted by **Kirigakure**, and even bullied by a minor village like **Kusagakure**. “And Konoha… is the worst of them all. Too powerful. Too terrifying. The threat it poses to Sunagakure is overwhelming.” “For the sake of survival, I have no choice but to use the **Great Deceiver System**—to spread a few ‘rumors’ and keep them too busy to continue oppressing us.” “I’m not wrong. Everything I do… is to protect Sunagakure!” Rasa glanced at the list of rumors before him— * *What? Hiruzen Sarutobi stole the credit that rightfully belonged to Uchiha Kagami?* * *Shocking! Hatake Sakumo was driven to death because his achievements threatened the higher-ups?* * *Wait… there are still people who don’t know the truth behind Namikaze Minato’s death?* * *Utter disgrace! The Mizukage reduced to nothing more than a puppet spy of Konoha’s Uchiha?!* … As the rumors spread, Rasa gained massive amounts of points for draws. “Hundred-pull… start!” * **Congratulations! You obtained an E-rank item: Forged Suicide Note (Kumogakure Genin Edition).** * **Congratulations!

In the swirling currents of time and fate, one soul was cast into a world it was never meant to be in. Karl D. Sephiroth-a name unknown to history, yet one that would soon shake the very foundations of the world. He is not a pirate. Nor a marine. He is a time traveler-an outsider who gained the Batto Batto no Mi Devil Fruit at the wrong time... and in the wrong place. With a power that blurs the line between life and death, Sephiroth seeks only one thing: A peaceful and beautiful life in this chaotic and disordered world of One Piece. But this world does not allow anyone to live in peace so easily. Position? Justice and evil? "The winner is the king... and the loser is just a bandit." In these seas, it is not principles that shape history-but power. Justice and evil are mere concepts... privileges that belong to the victors. And Sephiroth? He has no problem being called a hero, as long as he is the one who wins. Those who have witnessed his existence say: Boa Hancock, Pirate Empress: "Sephiroth... as long as you wish, I will do anything for you!" Kozuki Hiyori, Princess of Wano: "For the sake of our master, Brother Momonosuke... I beg you, die!" Sengoku, the Legendary Admiral: "I could never tell if Sephiroth is a righteous man... or not." Monkey D. Dragon, Leader of the Revolutionaries: "Friend... could you help me revise the revolutionary program of this world?" Sora Cyborg, Supreme Commander of the World Government: "This man... Sephiroth... he is truly insufferable!" And so... begins the story of a man who refuses to follow the tide. A victor who rewrites the meaning of 'justice' with his own hands.

A young man with a bright future ahead of him gets run over by a talking train, and is sent into a mystical, fantasy world filled to the centimeter with anything a man can think of. Uniquely interesting individuals to meet, grand locations to explore, and strange societies, with underlying mysteries awaiting to be explored. However... a good protagonist is always aided by an equally noteworthy, and possibly bizarre, cast of acquaintances. *** Tags: [Realism], [Isekai], [Cynical], [Dark], and [Slow-paced] (Or so I've been told). Disclaimers: 1. In spite of what Randall (the MC) says at the start, it is NOT a harem. 2. I will also shift POVs (and provide a clarification) whenever I consider it's worth it. However, the spotlight will be on the MC most of the time. 3. The MC starts off overpowered, but that will change after Chapter 40. I don't really like OP MCs too much. 4. Please read the first 3 chapters to decide whether it's worth reading. Finally, this is also my first time publishing a novel, so I hope it's not too bad. (PS: Cover is AI made.) PSS: Currently in hiatus (didn't know how to put it)
