I felt the sharp tip of the soldier's blade touch my skin like a deadly kiss of steel and couldn't help but feel relieved. "Thank God," I thought, "He didn't push it far enough." I opened my eyes and stared up at the sky. The cold, unwavering storm clouds thundered as if to draw me away from the battle. In the rain, my head felt like it was floating above my body, my consciousness staring down at a corpse that wasn't me. I moved my eyes downward and saw the hilt of a sword covered in jewels and gold. My shaking hands (Oh, why did they have to shake?) gripped the cool metal and traced it to its target. There it was. The blade passed through my body and poked out the other side quite comically. "Ha,"I laughed, before everything went black.
Your Weight in Gold is written from the perspective of a teenage girl, so many themes and events are seen through her eyes and might be altered.
This story's prologue is loosely inspired by the works of manga artist and writer Kusanagi Mizuho, as well as the current anime/manga Rising of the Shield Hero. I will be using a couple of themes from these great works, but only for the first few chapters.

Reverence
"I have no reason for staying here then. I'm not going to put myself in your so-called missions. Let me go back to my country as I have no partake in your operation" I said. Surpassing the beast, I take heavy steps towards the door when he pulls me back by my arm. I was taken aback when he pulled me, losing the balance I stumble on my tracks and with his strong pull I land on his chest. I immediately push myself back when he snakes his arm around my back making me unable to move from his grasp. We were so close now that my front was almost touching his making us look like hugging. He lowers himself and says "If you have a death wish then go ahead. The moment headquarters hear that you're no use to them, they will kill you without sparing a glance at you". Reverence This story depicts the story of two individual from different sides of the world who falls hardly for each other. If one is fire then the other one is water, making it next to impossible to meet at one point. Our male protagonist 'Aron' is smitten with our female protagonist 'June', however he doesn't show his emotions fearing that it will make him look weaker. He carries a strict and scary aura around him which makes people think that he is a ruthless person. On the contrary he is quite the opposite from inside. And our female lead carries a carefree nature who doesn't care about anything but herself. She is a savage quick witted person who can do anything for her own survival if required. When these two polar opposites crosses path with, we can expect a lot of drama and action, eventually seeing these fall for each other.

I Became The Villain's Secretary
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!

One of the capture target in a Bl Otome Game I recently played. I hate all the characters guts in the game. All are possessive and obssessed. It's a dark theme bl game. Everyone are overwhelmingly crazy. Especially, this Akira. That's why, now that I possess his body I knew for sure am the only one normal in this world. Let's not get into the drama. Let's escape this hell place full of dark drama and try to find a place where actually normal people lives. Or so I thought? "Don't think you can escape from us" "Baby, your existence are ours only." "You dare to ignore and leave us? You're wishing for everyone's death" "Ignore or leave us again, I promise I'll burn every places your feet set into" "I'm sorry. But I have to agree with them... You should have think it twice, when you make us fall in love with you and then disappear from everyone's sight... the consequences... You... are our possession " "......." Honestly, wat da fak is going on?? That love lines are not supposed to be said to me?? Hello??? Go, tell that to the heroine! You assholes!!

Just the janitor | Yandere heroes x male reader
In a world of superpowered beings, it's natural some become heroes to try and better the world such as Scarlett the Bold, Janice the shield, Mary the healer, and the one everyone fawns over: Stardust. As cheesy as it is to say, "With great power comes with great responsibility." So they formed the hero's guild under the name: Justice. To keep not only themselves in check but any future heroes who come to take up the mantle of preserving peace and justice. And then there's you; No powers, no great feats of achievement. Just a regular person trying to go about his days worrying about the future rather than saving lives. After hearing your mother complain about your need to get a job after graduation, you come across an advertisement online that grabs your attention. Not knowing what the future has in store for you, we can only pray god will have mercy on your soul. -------------------------- Hey guys welcome back to another story I hopefully won't delete after a week again!

Lillian's Mercy: King slayer
I woke up in a daze, unsure of why my body felt so stiff, so sore. I winced as I threw my legs over the side of the bed, and again as I stood up, pain flaring from every muscle in my body as I made my way to the polished mirror beside my wardrobe. I gasped at the sight of the bruised and battered girl in front of me. The memories from last night flooded my mind. It was my birthday. Father had invited several high class guests to the event. He expected me to begin courting. The man he had introduced me to was a plump old man. I had refused adamantly, his years against my fourteen churned my stomach. Unfortunately, my father didn't take my refusal well. He grabbed me by the arm roughly and dragged me into the attic-my bedroom. His beatings were getting worse. At least the last time i t hadn't taken much effort to hide the pain. This time that wouldn't be possible. This time, there would be no hiding it. This time the pain was too much. I whimpered as I headed to the door, but it was locked. It seems my father had predicted my state. Rage and anger burned through my veins as I slammed my fist against the door. One day I would learn to defend myself. One day I would escape this wretched castle. One day I would no longer be bound by the Caspian people. One day I will no longer be their princess. "I will get away from here, and you will pay for what you've done old man." I vowed before slamming my fist against the door again. "I will be free." I huffed as I crawled back into the bed for some much needed rest.Complete
