    Summary

    "Who are you?"

    "No," Cale Henituse held out a gun, effectively shooting the sword that was previously pointed at him away to the furthest corner of the train, "Who are you?"
    ***
    Yoo Joonghyuk's thoughts spiraled for a moment—grabbing at scraps of half-finished theories and abandoned timelines.

    Was this round… another failure before it even started?

    The idea hit him like a hammer to the chest.

    Each regression was a reset. A new chance to set things right. To do better. To avoid the deaths, the betrayals, the pain. But if this was how things were going from the get-go—if pieces were showing up in the wrong places, forming bonds they shouldn't even have, aligning themselves with unpredictable outsiders—

    His jaw tightened, fingers twitching just slightly at his side.

    He hated this. This uncertainty. This lack of control.

    He glanced at Cale again, eyes sharpening like the edge of a blade.

    Who was this man?

    More importantly—

    What the hell did he know?

    Because if this redhead thought for one second that he could derail Yoo Joonghyuk’s plans, steal his allies, and waltz through scenarios like some self-insert protagonist—

    He had another thing coming.

    Summary

    Cale Henituse died a hero—peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, finally ready to embrace the slacker life. So waking up on a freezing sidewalk in Seoul as starving teen Cha Roksoo, with a crying little sister and no mother in sight? Yeah. He’s pissed.

    This isn’t Earth 1. Or Earth 2. And it’s definitely not the afterlife. It’s just hell. Again.

    Things get worse when he realizes his sister is Cha Siyeon, the real-world counterpart of Penelope Eckhart, the doomed villainess from the game “Daughter of the Duke: Love Project!”—a game she played right before they both got sucked in. Now? They're trapped inside it. Siyeon as Penelope. Cale as her unplanned, unwanted older brother. Thanks, God of Death. Sincerely, go die.

    The plot doesn’t know he exists. The goddamn Ekhart family is watching them like hawks. And now there’s a pest named Vinter clinging to his sister, and a bastard crown prince breathing down his neck.

    But Cale’s got goals: protect his sister, scam his way through nobility, and maybe—finally—kill a god.
    Mostly though?

    He just wants his damn slacker life back.

    (slacker-life-chan please don't leave me!)

    Summary

    (COMPLETED) - Childe thought he could bear any burden, until silk flowers bloomed in his lungs. Confession alone, no matter how heartfelt, couldn’t cure hanahaki. The flowers would not vanish if the afflicted felt unloved or abandoned—and Zhongli had given him every reason to feel that way. Every cruel word, every absence, had convinced Childe he was nothing more than a tool, discarded when no longer useful.

    Summary


    ... And it's like this, the Omega Consort Prince Aventurine was unloved, unwanted and abandoned until the very end.

    ...

    Stupid plotline. Stupid book. Stupid emperor!

    These were the scathing reviews Veritas left regarding the novel called 'My Alpha Emperor,' proclaimed to be one of the most well-written books of all times, with a perplexing rate of 8.7 out of 10.

    Veritas was frustrated by the tragic fate met by Aventurine who was his favorite character— so frustrated that the Universe heard his pleas and decided to put him in that very same novel he absolutely despised.

    Summary

    Tim got used to it. The organized chaos. The chirping and cooing and occasional feathers in his coffee. The flock of doves following him around and nesting in his drawers. The murder of crows bringing him shiny trinkets and stealing his pens. It became his normal.

    For over a year and some change, the Nest felt full. Lively. Predictable, even.

    Until the day he came home from patrol, coffee in one hand, data chip in the other…

    …and found a raven sitting on his desk.

    Just—there. Like he owned the place.

    Staring.

    Silent.

    Still.

    Like a ghost.

    And Tim—Tim just blinked and said, "Okay. That's new."
