The Duke Fell for the Villainess
She was just a tired grade school teacher in the modern world- unappreciated, overworked, and denied her promotion year after year. Her only escape was her favorite otome game... until a tragic accident with a banana peel ended her life. When she opened her eyes again, she wasn't in her small apartment anymore. She was in a luxurious mansion. In a child's body. The villainess of her favorite game. Born as the real daughter of a Marquis, she knew how her story was supposed to end: starvation, betrayal, poison, and death. Her stepmother and stepsister would steal everything from her, and her own father would let her die without a tear. But this time, she refuses to play the role of a doomed villainess. Armed with memories from her past life, loyal brothers at her side, and a sharp tongue sharpened by years of teaching, she'll rewrite fate itself. Yet the world of nobility is more dangerous than she imagined- scheming crown princes, false heroines, poisonous stepmothers, and a cold northern Duke whispered to be a beast. But what if the "beast" turns out to be the one man who sees her for who she truly is?Complete
Demon Slayer: Scar of a Promise
In the shadowed depths of the world, darkness reigns supreme. Bloodied skies and tangled webs weave despair across the forest, where demons lurk with twisted ambitions and unwavering malice. Yet even amidst the chaos, the fates of unlikely warriors intertwine-each driven by their own resolve, their own battles to fight. Roronoa Zoro, a lone swordsman with a reputation as sharp as his blades, ventures into unfamiliar territory with only one goal: cut down what threatens the innocent and move on. But when the enigmatic Demon Slayer Corps cross his path, Zoro is dragged into a web thicker than he bargained for-one full of deadly demons, unyielding Hashira, and fragile alliances. Tanjiro Kamado, a boy fueled by love for his sister, fights not only to protect her but to hold onto his humanity in a world that seeks to strip them both of it. With Nezuko at his side, Tanjiro clashes against demons with a blade that grows stronger by the day-but his spirit refuses to yield, even when despair threatens to crush him. As Zoro faces enemies unlike anything he's encountered before, alliances will be tested, trust will be forged, and the enigmatic secrets of the Demon Slayer Corps will unravel. From heated clashes to fleeting moments of understanding, Zoro must confront not only the enemies before him-but the purpose behind his wandering path. In a world where humans and demons fight for survival, the bonds of loyalty, strength, and conviction will carve the way forward. But will it be enough to sever the threads of fate that bind them all? Thought I would finally publish this after Infinity Castle Part 1.
