Meet the main character - you ✨

One day your whole world crumbles around you. Literally. The sky splits, and everyone you know turns into dust. You escape to the thousands of glowing portals to any dimension imaginable. Only you are trapped, and hundreds of other you-s don't seem to care. That's when a stranger appears and offers you a card, a key to any world. The price is high, and yet you take the chance. 
Your adventure begins at the Crossroads. 

🪐 Episode 2.
You and the Mage set out on a field trip! 🚀 
Prepare to travel across the universe: Cups, Wands, Pentacles - peoples with stitched mouths and half-felines. Also, apparently, the Black Emperor's back (scary!), Maze is out there to get you, and the Sun guards her twin's secrets. 
Your card is the key to any world, but can you wield it properly and will that be enough to survive? 

☄️ Episode 3.
Welcome to the Black Castle! Make yourself at home, 'cause the Black Emperor won't let you leave anyway. The Black Empress couldn't be more friendly, never mind a few attempts at your life. The Mage is not by your side, thanks to his cousin, and Maze certainly haven't given up on your card... The Black Emperor is himself, which is everything but what you expected of him.
Buckle up, it's time to face up all of your worst fears!All Rights Reserved

Salvage ~ V1: Nuts and Bolts (Steampunk/ Gaslamp Romantasy ~ FxM, MxM) by avaseofpeonies

A Steampunk/ Gaslamp Fantasy Romance set in the industrial revolution era of a fictional world. Magic, mad science, multicultural ambiance, and political intrigue all tightly laced up into one corset and powered by the steam of two romances - one F/M and one M/M. For mature audiences, 18+. ~~~*~~~ All creations carry a trace of the maker's ethereal energy, whether deliberately placed in the magical Artifacts made by the Alchemists, or unwittingly left in the handiwork of ordinary people. Kazia can feel that energy, in both machines and people. She may not be able to do any of the grand magic other Alchemists can, but give her a damaged machine and she can trace its energy to the problem, and know precisely how to repair it. She does have one other ability. One far more dangerous. One she will never acknowledge, and will never use. Fleeing her villainous father rather than becoming his pawn, Kazia finds a peaceful life on a farm in a neighboring country, where no one knows that she is the daughter of Prince Gorvan Devratha. But with war looming between her birth country of Valesk and her new home in Caedra, how long can that peaceful life last? She can be safe in the Caedran capital, among the Queen's Alchemists, but will anyone there trust her - especially the handsome but embittered Lord Kelvaran Meratha, who suspects Kazia's father of murdering his family? Abrizhen is Kazia's older brother. He does his best to play the role of the Prince's good son and heir, but when tasked with retrieving his wayward sister, he must return to the city he'd called home for many of his youthful years. There he'll have to reckon with his past, and finally choose between the life of a dutiful prince, or the welfare of his sister - and the rekindling of an old flame. ~~~*~~~ Please see the introduction for detailed content warnings.

The siren and the serpent ⚣ by AngryPeopleUnited

❝Thaddeus Wraith had successfully destroyed the fortress within my head and scrambled my senses. Which was strange. How had I gone from fearing somebody, maybe even loathing them. To wanting to feel him against me, the heat that radiated off his body--for his lips to move against mine. I craved the chaos that we had together, and by gods did it intoxicate me to know that I had him. 𝒜𝓁𝓁 𝑜𝒻 𝒽𝒾𝓂. Every damaged, broken piece, every intrusive thought that came into his mind when those green eyes bore into mine. I had it all. ❞ ━━━━━━━━༻❁༺━━━━━━━━ Orion Vale was meant to drown when a storm took him at sea--but instead, a siren's magic spared his life. Pulled aboard Captain Wraith's ship, Orion soon feels an unexpected connection to the ocean...and to the mysterious force that saved him. As strange powers begin to awaken, he's caught between his shifting feelings towards the captain and this cryptic prophecy tied to his "curse." Lines begin to blur, and hate may turn into love. Torn between the captain's relentless hunt for sirens and his destiny, Orion must navigate a dangerous path where every choice could lead to betrayal or salvation.

I Became The Villain's Secretary by J_axnettx_e

After I suddenly died I possessed the body of what I thought was an extra within a novel. From then on my life was mostly calm, though not fulfilling. Until one day I discovered I wasn't just a background figure; instead I was an insignificant character who'd end up being the villainous Grand Duke's secretary, only to die shortly after being near him! But I had no choice, it was too late to change my fate, so I decided to live as obediently as possible under the orders of the sadist villain. But I still had a plan. Even before the female lead makes her appearance, I will try in every way to make the villain a little more normal, or at least ensure that the two do not meet, so that no one will face a harsh death, including me! And then, after the villain doesn't become obsessed with the female lead and becomes more normal, I will be able to resign and live peacefully. So I just cleared all the suspicions he might have about me in order to not incur his wrath and die like in the novel. * * * "I'll give you a choice." The corner of his lips raised crookedly. Though that smile did not reach his eyes at all. "One, don't resign and stay here forever..." His gaze was enough to unnerve me. "Two, let me kill those who dared to give you the idea of resigning...then don't go and stay here forever." No, haven't I already made sure that the villain has become a little more normal!? ...What the heck is going on!? He shouldn't be like this!
