50 million dollars that was the debt . And the payment is his son. Lucas De Maverick, the ruthless mafia boss who controls the arms trade across Asia, expected power, obedience and silence. He didn't expect Orion, a small, terrified boy with green eyes that never met his own and a voice limited to three words: yes, hm, okay. But silence tells its own story. And Lucas hears it loud and clear. Orion isn't just shy. He's broken. And someone broke him. What begins as a cold transaction spirals into a dangerous obsession, a twisted love and a hunt through the darkest corners of the underworld-for truth, revenge and justice. Because Lucas didn't ask for a heart. But he just found one worth killing for.

He was reincarnated into a stereotypical shoujo manga with magic and fantastical creatures- not as any of the main cast, but the villain's butler, a kindhearted but loyal to a fault beastkin who fought to his death to let his abusive master escape- a mere narrative tool to make the villain seem even crueler. Unlike the original, however, he was not kind, nor was he loyal. He is not above killing, stealing, and lying- and he did not care if he was despised. To avoid a meaningless, pitiful death, he would even scheme his way to escape fate. Upon meeting the young villain, however, there was a change of plans. In this second life of his, he'll bet everything on the villain, and fulfill what the original couldn't- he will help the villain find the happiness that was so cruelly taken from him- no matter what it takes.

Two groundbreaking discoveries have been made. The first being an unknown, uncharted island off the coast of Port Itra. The second: the skeletons recovered from said island. The skeletons revealed an impossible truth: a creature of both man and snake. Now, researchers and poachers alike are flocking to the island, intent on either capturing or killing the potentially deadly new creatures. Only upon arrival, the island is strangely bereft... empty... vacant of them. But what does this all have to do with Y/n L/n? Well, unfortunately Y/n is caught up right in the middle of this fiasco as the assistant of Dr. Nilsson, a world renowned herpetologist. While Nilsson is a brilliant woman and host to even more outstanding mind, she, like most, is poisoned with a thirst to find the mythical naga or die trying. Y/n neither wants to die or find the creature. Too bad he (nearly) does both. *** Cover art done by Pr1c3ss

"I-..." he stopped, the words dying in his throat when a sudden lump appeared, not giving him the time to form proper words. His breath hitched, rose orbs trembling and stuck staring at his untouched food, sweat beginning to form underneath his too-long bangs. He... He thought he could do it. And yet he couldn't. Not when he could feel every stare burning onto his person, piercing through his soul like they could see every single fault, picking out his insecurities. The judgmental looks, the sneers, the disappointment. He could feel it, how it caused every hair to stand on edge, his ears ringing until all he could hear was his own heartbeat; wildly thudding inside his ribcage, ready to burst out of his chest. Shooting up from the table, head bowed low, his lips pursed and trembling as shame-filled tears sprung up, he turned and ran away from the dining room. Not sparing anyone a single glance because all he wanted was to breathe- Future villain or not, he couldn't bring himself to act like the original owner of this body. He couldn't. • Han Choyoung had trouble making connections and communicating with others. He felt guilty, even if his loved ones supported him regardless. But after accidentally drowning to his death, he only wished he'd overcome his fear sooner. He didn't expect to wake up as 11-year-old Kazaru Evedane, the neglected 3rd prince-turned-villain from a game he only heard from his noona. Choyoung could handle the identity crisis, he died after all- but to be the neglected prince hated by everyone because he's an illegitimate child? Knowing he had to face characters he didn't know? And just because he struggled to communicate properly while faking amnesia, as he had no prior knowledge of the game- everyone started chasing him! Please leave him alone! • My take on a BL harem isekai but MC's LOOSELY inspired by Shouko Komi from the Anime "Komi Can't Communicate". PS: book cover and artworks by me alone! ON HIATUS FOR NOW
