**Hey everyone. So long story short I had to start posting on a different site. You can catch new chapters on Royal Road!**
After having a prophetic dream, 18 year old Clergy wakes up in a prison with no memories. He's eventually rescued and taken to Dargas, a metropolis plagued by corruption, poverty, and very recently, arsonists.
At first, the fires are just a nuisance. An excuse to crack down on the masses, but one night that all changes.
The night a fire claims the King's life.
Now, the city is imploding on itself, as it hunts for traitors and races to fill the throne. Clergy is tossed into the middle of the chaos, forced to find the meaning of his dream and the truth behind his imprisonment; all while unraveling the city's darkest secret.
I feel like putting this in every chapter becomes redundant after a while, but I really do appreciate the views and any feedback y'all might have. This is my first draft and my first time posting it up, so any input helps me out a lot. Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy!

To Steal A Crown
*potential trigger warning of abuse, neglect, name calling, etc* DISCLAIMER: this is written between myself and someone else who is originally from New Zealand. There are different spellings.

He faces the choices of being driven from his home as he has been before or facing the humans. Things go well at first but it isn't long before things take a turn for the worse and Nairobi is imprisoned within a cave. First it's for profit so that people can come to the cave and see him, but as the years pass, the humans' amazement at the strange creature turns to disgust and revulsion toward the freak of nature. Now, nearly a century after his imprisonment, Nairobi meets someone new that may be the key to his freedom and return to the forest. Flahme is a demon from Hell with a half-remembered past and a mission. She must retrieve items to free herself from servitude. (This shall be item 9 of 13. Flahme is not my oc.) This is meant to be a bxb story and will be eventually, but it is a slow development. THIS IS A SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOW BURN BL NOVELComplete

i was reincarnated as abusive father of the hero twins
When a 17-year-old gamer wakes up in the body of one of the most hated characters from his favorite RPG-Darian, the drunken, abusive father of the twin heroes-he's not just confused... he's horrified. The world is grim, unforgiving, and very real. The man he's replaced is a violent failure of a father who, in the game's timeline, is destined to die at the hands of his own children. The problem? Those children are now clinging to each other in fear, and he's holding a bottle he doesn't remember picking up. With no cheat powers, terrible stats (including negative mana), and only vague memories of game mechanics, he has one goal: rewrite the future. He must earn the trust of the twins he was supposed to ruin, master forgotten skills through grit and repetition, and survive in a world that sees him as nothing more than a worthless commoner. There's no prophecy, no system guide, and no forgiveness for failure. Can a burned-out soul trapped in the body of a villain become the father two future heroes need?
