The Emperor's Unwanted Bride Shizune Tendo lives a cursed life in the modern world-a weary housekeeper drowning in bills, obligations, and the daily cruelty of her tyrant employer. Her days blur together in exhaustion and quiet resentment, until one night she discovers an ancient book hidden among forgotten belongings. Curiosity turns into horror as she reads. The book tells the gruesome true story of Kaori Udo, the unwanted wife of Emperor Hiroshi Yamamura-a woman married for political convenience and later ordered to be executed by the very man who vowed to protect her. Page after page details Kaori's suffering, betrayal, and brutal death. Unable to bear it, Shizune weeps and curses the book for condemning an innocent woman to such a fate. That is when everything changes. The book begins to glow. Lightning splits the air. And Shizune is swallowed whole. When she awakens, she is no longer in her world. Dressed in unfamiliar silk, surrounded by ancient walls, Shizune realizes she has been thrown five hundred years into the past. Worse-she has awakened in another woman's body. A woman with a name she knows too well. Kaori Udo. The emperor's unwanted bride. The same woman destined to die by Emperor Hiroshi's command. Trapped in history and bound by an engagement already written in blood, Shizune must find a way to escape the marriage before it ends in her execution. But fate delivers a final, cruel blow when she finally meets the emperor face to face. Because Emperor Hiroshi looks exactly like Kenzo Yamamoto-her ruthless modern-day boss. Same face. Same cold eyes. Same tyrant. Is this fate? A curse? Or a twisted test of survival? Now reborn as the woman history erased, Shizune must outwit a merciless emperor, defy a future already written, and rewrite a fate that once ended in death-before the unwanted bride is killed once more.

"Would it kill you to let yourself open up?" "No," I sigh, tilting my chin and fixing my gaze to the ceiling. I clench my fists, nails digging into my palms as I fight to stay grounded. "But it might kill you." ************* One is a half-demon with a harrowing past. The other is a barista with emotional baggage. Brought together by chance, bound together by fate--or a curse, depending on who you ask. But one thing is certain: she never should have saved her life. When Danika "Dani" Breeland runs into Ashe at a nightclub, she had no way of knowing that the chance encounter with her fiery redheaded crush would pull her into a secret world filled with the supernatural, or that something as simple as a silver ring would bind the two women together in unexpected--and dangerous--ways. Navigating this strange new world isn't the only threat that Dani faces, however. There are far worse things to fear than soul-sucking vampires and egotistical witches--things lurking just beyond the Veil--and while Ashe may be tasked with keeping the balance, Dani may very well be the key to its undoing.

It is a magical world where the strong rules. But rampant corruption and chaos exist, where slavery, rape, murder, and discrimination against the weak were all but common. The magically superior people trample over the lesser unfortunate folks, using them as stepping stones and disposable assets. All hope for these downtrodden souls seems lost, but the wheels of fate have other plans for them. In a faraway ocean, one that is filled with demons and sea monsters, a great technological civilization suddenly appeared, one that came from a world that is only filled with chaos and destruction. This civilization became the heaven for people seeking a stable and peaceful life. The Earth rose and seas parted ways, and the environment had totally changed for its adaptability. Unfortunately, the inhabitants of this great technological civilization are all but manaless, arriving in a world where they are seen as inferior and as slaves. How will they react of finding themselves in a world where people can split mountains or bend the fabric of space, and where beings exist that even conventional weapons cannot defeat? How will they survive against deadly monsters, magical beasts, and superhumans that could threaten entire nations? And how will the other powers that exist in this world react to a powerful, advanced nation filled with a race they deem inferior? This is the story of one of the most powerful empires on Earth, and how it broke the balance of power and rose to the top.

In a world where history is a dying ember and reality is a fraying knot, one boy's blood is the only key to the past-and a death sentence for the future. Three hundred years after the fall of the Zenith Tree and the collapse of the kingdom of Aethelgard, the world of Zelonian is a graveyard of gray ash and obsidian shadows. The survivors, known as Keepers, huddle in the ruins, protected by failing magic from the Abyss-a hungry void that seeks to consume the remnants of existence. Fifteen-year-old Liam is a scavenger living in the fringes, haunted by a "sickness" of the mind: he sees "glitches" in reality-vibrant, golden echoes of a world that shouldn't exist. When a routine supply run to a forbidden library ends in an ambush by an Abyss Rider, Liam's life is shattered. In a moment of pure terror, he doesn't just fight; he rips reality open. Liam accidentally manifests the Aetheseahr, a celestial knife of pure starlight. It is the first of the Genesis Weapons, artifacts of the ancient Celestial Atlas gods that were lost when the hero Arkham Shyrnova failed his quest and was cursed to eternal, stone-bound immortality. But Liam's survival comes with a terrifying revelation. He is not a "mere human." He is the son of Travelers-beings from a distant dimension who possessed the blood of gods. His very existence is a violation of the "Loop," a cosmic cycle of death and rebirth overseen by Nyx, the God of Secrets. Joined by Lyra, a fierce warrior with her own hidden agenda, Liam must embark on a journey across the decaying landscapes of Zelonian to find the remaining artifacts before the Abyss swallows the world. But as he begins to unlock his "God-blood," he realizes that the "Hero's Journey" he's been thrust into is a lie. The gods aren't waiting to be saved; they are waiting to harvest him.

A fan-version of my friend's book titled "The Pride Sanatorium". This version contains a completely different lore and backstory. I do not own any character that originate from the OG book, they belong solely to my friend. Life is a river that never sleeps- It bends, it breaks, it mends, it keeps. Dreams may fade, but they don't die, They rest beneath a patient sky. Love echoes past where time can see, A whisper in eternity. And though the end may seem to call, The never-ending lives in all. You belong to me, but I never belong to you. [Just an ordinary bully x victim trope.. right?]

Daichi Suzuki thought his life was ordinary. A college graduate with a steady routine, he never imagined his fate would be rewritten by a dream. One night, while reading a strange novel about apocalyptic "games" staged by higher beings, he dreams himself into the story - only to die within it. That death becomes the catalyst for something impossible: transmigration and reincarnation. Daichi awakens not as himself, but as Yu Yuki Hoshizora, a seventeen-year-old high school girl in a world eerily similar to the one he read about. But soon she realizes this isn't the same world as the novel - it's a parallel worldline, one where the "main character" of the original story doesn't exist. Without that anchor, Yu is left to face the apocalypse alone. The rules of survival are cruel. Humanity is forced into endless rounds of catastrophic disasters that reset and evolve, designed for the amusement of beings beyond comprehension. Each apocalypse is different, each more merciless than the last. (A/N: Hi don't mind me I'm just trying something new hopefully you guys enjoy this)
