Take Me Away, Dark Lord!

#VillainDad #CuteProtagonist #Ghosts #Misunderstanding #Transmigration #SmartMC Mira realized two things the moment she woke up in the body of a nameless orphan in a fantasy novel: 1. She is a disposable "shrimp" destined to die in the crossfire of the main characters. 2. She is the only person in this world who can see the screaming, terrifying ghosts that haunt every corner of the empire. Tortured by the wails of the dead, Mira finds only one source of silence: Duke Kaelus von Nacht. Known as the "Dark Lord" and the "Emperor's Sword," Kaelus is a man so ruthless and soaked in bloodlust that even the ghosts are terrified to go near him. To the world, he is a monster. But to Mira, he is a walking, talking pair of noise-canceling headphones. Desperate for a good night's sleep, Mira clings to him, acting like a naive, affectionate child to secure her place by his side. She succeeds, but she miscalculated. Kaelus didn't adopt her out of kindness. He needed a disposable child to act as 'live bait' for the assassins targeting him. Now named Seraphina, she must navigate a deadly game of survival. She thinks she is using him as a ghost shield. He thinks she is a fearless prodigy who loves him. As Seraphina munches on poison berries and naps through ambushes to avoid seeing spirits, the cold-blooded Duke starts to ask the wrong questions. "Why does she only sleep when I am holding her?" "Why does she stare into space with such disdain?" "Is it possible... that I am a good father?" Spoiler: He is not. But he’s about to destroy an entire kingdom because someone woke her up. --- ### Excerpt "Your Highness, the Archduke," the aide whispered, trembling hard to cover his laughter from bursting out. "The child... she is clinging to your leg again." Kaelus looked down. The tiny creature known as Seraphina was attached to his calf like a barnacle, drooling on his pristine military trousers. "She is fearless," Kaelus murmured, misinterpreting her desperate need for his ghost-repelling aura as familial affection. "The assassins are approaching, yet she seeks comfort only in the eye of the storm. She is the perfect bait." Seraphina, currently trying to avoid eye contact with a headless ghost hovering three feet away, squeezed her eyes shut. 'Just don't move. If I let go, the headless guy will ask me where his nose is again.' "Sir," the aide hesitated. "She's... eating your cloak." "Let her eat," Kaelus commanded, drawing his sword. "Whatever she wants, she gets. Except for freedom."

Kaleidoscopic DxD

Second compilation of my Harunaru stories. ( BOOK I ) Haru Hyoudou & the Demon King of Sixth Heaven Falling into a magic circle is one thing. Meeting a scary gun lady inside of it? That was scary. But turning into her, succeeding her, and inheriting her legend? Yeah, that was the icing on the cake. Haru Hyoudou was perfectly fine with that, though, and if anything, the gender change was secondary. (Or so she learned.) ( BOOK II ) Haru Hyoudou & the Great King of Destruction Haru Hyoudou found himself involved in a figurative "holy war". A grail that can grant omnipotent wishes? Fast way to become a Harem King! ... if he can survive the other enemy Masters first. Hey, at least he's got a smoking hot Servant with him! ( BOOK III ) Haru Hyoudou & the Fox Priestess of Peerless Beauty Haru Hyoudou was always normal. And a pervert. The odds of him ever finding a girl were slim. So when Yuuma Amano approached him, there were no words that could described the happy feeling in his heart. And then she attempted to kill him, revealing her true nature. At that moment, however, Haru's desperate pleas for someone to save him woke something inside of him. A secret that he was not aware of. Something that a certain vampiric troll is watching with great enthusiasm. ( BOOK IV ) Beloved Daughter of Konoha Kakashi fell to his knees, trying his hardest to stem the flow of tears from his eyes and clutching a hand to his chest, trying his hardest to stop the ache coming from his heart. Neither was successful. "Best. Team. Ever." He declared, weeping tears of joy. In which Naruko is a pervert, Satsuki is gullible and Sakura is the only sane woman. ( BOOK V ) Beloved Daughter of Grigori Naruko was given to Zelretch by Kushina after he showed her the kind of life Naruko would live and in turn Zelretch gave Naruko to Azazel to raise as his adopted daughter. Now as Naru Branwen, she has become well known to the supernatural world, along with being given the Down Fall Dragon Spear. ( BOOL VI ) Beloved Daughter of Gremory Reincarnation, it's a funny thing. With hopes of it happening, one of the most pure souls gets her wish. Family. The one thing she truly wanted more than anything else. ( BOOK VII ) Princess of Chaldea & The Great Holy Grail War Haruka Fujimaru, desperate for more SSRs, accepts a mystery man's offer to replace a Master in a Great Holy Grail War. With knowledge of the future and her only SSR fighting beside her in real life, Haruka plots to mess up the entire storyline just for the 1000 Saint Quartz reward. ( BOOK VIII ) Tale of the Harem Queen Naru Nanami, a girl who has no family finds herself caught up in a world full of Devils, Fallen Angels and Angels. Together with her best friend Haru, she won't only learn that death isn't easy, but how to help their friends. ( BOOL IX ) Emperor's Roar Haru Hyoudou used to have a corrupt and perverted mind. But after his training with Tannin the dragon king, he refused continuing to be the perverted fool. Watch as this new Emperor takes the supernatural world by storm while creating a new path bathed in a crimson glow. ( BOOK X ) Ascension of the Fallen Emperor After the sealing of Trihexa, one might expect Haru Hyoudou to finally find peace. However, a single discovery changes everything. Now on his own, confused, and his heart in pieces, Haru and the one person who sticks beside him must race against an ancient being whose machinations could spell the destruction of all Creation. ( BONUS ) Crusade of Eostia A thousands-strong army of Christians is sent to a faraway land known as Eostia. Their leader, Haru of Whirlingpool witnesses the evil and scum that is the Black Dogs and vows to slaughter every single one in the name of God!

One Piece: The Cloud City

Before the Straw hats ever set sail there was the early years of pirates. Atlas, an escaped experiment hell bent on revenge and willing to align with the crew that will one day become the most infamous pirates before vanishing just as quickly. Will he manage to make a name for himself that will last or become just as forgotten as Xebec himself by the time of Luffy? Hey there, I won't lie this whole fanfic is something that will be updated whenever I get inspiration for it. I like to create these stories and work off of the world building inside the world's to explore what could be possible if someone was willing to push the norms of their uses. some of that will mean I will step into pseudo fanon but only in so much as I am using the tech and other power systems that exist in the one piece world in ways the op never intended or showed it being possible to use like that so have no way to confirm whether they would consider it canon or not, I will leave that up to you guys. will have slight alternate universe in it, in that Linlin in this world has not slept with as many men as possible but is instead looking for the perfect person to have her kids with. do with that as you will but yeah she will be the main love interest too. going to try a more slow approach but let me know what you think. please be willing to understand that I have a lot going on and so my updates might not always be great, but if anyone actually bothers reading this then I will try to be good haha. other than that, I would love any constructive criticism as I would really like to improve my works and actually become a decent writer and not just the same old "eh he can kinda write okay fanfics that are the same as every other fanfic" writing level, no offense to all the others writing on here haha.

Mystery of Existence

The concept of Creation encompasses the entirety of existence as well as non-existence, representing an intricate interconnection essential for maintaining balance within the framework of Creation itself. Existence embodies all that we have observed, including galaxies, universes, the theory of the multiverse, and beyond. Consequently, countless undiscovered truths remain as mysteries, even infinite celestial bodies represent only a fraction of the greater whole. It is understood that even the most potent celestial entities, including deities, may lack insight into the ultimate truths underlying Existence. Humanity has developed systems designed for traversing the cosmos in pursuit of knowledge, however, these explorations have often yielded little in terms of concrete understanding. Many have found themselves in a state of confusion, leading to a collective withdrawal from exploration. This trend persisted until the emergence of an individual driven by a profound curiosity regarding the truths of Creation. This individual, Jonathan, committed himself to extensive reading, which chronicled the journeys of those who had traversed the cosmos, thereby offering invaluable insights for humanity to reclaim its most illustrious era. In his quest, Jonathan stands before an ancient and imposing set of Doors adorned with unknown symbols, which resonate with immense power that defies quantification. Jonathan realizes that unlocking these doors entails solving a complex puzzle, prompting him to embark on an expedition to uncover the missing symbols. During his adventures, he encounters Mary Carter, a young woman possessing an obsession with literature containing information about the cosmos. They quickly form a partnership, united by their shared objective. A significant clue within one of Mary's texts directs them to Indonesia, specifically to the Candi Borobudur, where they believe a manuscript exists that contains the knowledge required to transcend dimensional barriers. This manuscript is crucial to solving the puzzle of the Ancient Doors. With this objective in mind, they prepare for their journey to Indonesia. However, one may question whether their expedition will progress smoothly or if they will find themselves entangled in perilous circumstances. Who knows, but we'll see it soon...

Born Into Villain's Family: I Have a 200% Rebate System

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. [Beep! You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money! What Aurora didn't expect, though, was that she would end up becoming one of the technology big shots herself, in the end.

Heroine Creation: All My Summons Are Custom Made

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!” Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem: Ruining female characters. In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own. When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters. But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service. In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses. He never expected the universe to take him at his word. Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class. ⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥ ⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥ ⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥ Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme? Character arts, novel art, panels and R18 images are available on the Discord! https://discord.gg/6yTukRbQF
