Death and The Comfortable Couch

When her gaze fell upon the flushed sofa for the second time that century, it knew. That she drew a detached trendil of opulence at seeing what was once a blooming, cherry red divan dominating a space for neighbors to be jealous of, children eased of figmental nightmares, the elderly soothed with a warmth of familiarity. She was able to respect its symbolism of another time, another place. Where she herself was a young thing of creation. Unaware of the eternal unrest that was to be that was to be her fate. To be woken and appointed at one end of the universe. The gloriously darker end.

Darkness' Touch
She had a very perfect life as she was a perfect girl. She had everything she could ask for, a brilliant mind, wealth, and many other things, hence death never really crossed her mind. Waking up inside a novel is an unusual but very cliché thing, but the young brainiac didn't intend to lay low and hold herself back. "Make way for the protagonist? Hah. I lived my life pleasing no one other than myself. And I prefer it stays that way." The plan is to take everything she wants for herself. And in everything, she meant... Everything.

The Inured Villainess
Inure: (v.) To accustom to accept something undesirable, evil, or painful. An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete

THERE'S NO NEED FOR A DUKE IN THIS DUCHY
When Dahlia Becastra figures out she's reincarnated into a book occupying the body of another her first instinct was to run. She's been through shit and the stock pile that comes along with this body is more than her brain can handle. A father who despises her, a sister who looks the other way and in about eighteen years she'll be sans of a head. Great. Since there's no other way around it she might as well become the sole ruler of this devil's hot tub they call a Duchy, it's the only she doesn't lose her head at every turn she takes. If they want her to be the bitch of Becastra she can give them bitch. Maybe she'll forever be known as just that and in it find love.
Falling In Love With My BFF
She was sitting alone when I decided to walk up to her. She looked so beautiful with her red hair leading just above her breasts, not that I was looking there or anything... Her baby blue eyes shining in the sunlight, and you can see the happiness that she had sitting there in the midst of the forest. God did she look great. So anyway I walked up to her and sat next to her telling her how beautiful she was when i heard the awful sound of my alarm clock...Complete
The Art Of Getting Rich Again
She had it all-money, power, luxury. A brilliant businesswoman at the peak of success, she lived in a world where intelligence and cunning ruled. But in the blink of an eye, everything was taken from her. Struck by lightning and thrown into an unfamiliar medieval fantasy world, she wakes up with nothing. No wealth, no connections, no mana-not even a noble title. Just a sharp mind, a relentless drive, and a burning desire to reclaim the status she once had. In this new world where power is determined by bloodline, magic, and strength, she must outwit corrupt nobles, manipulate guilds, negotiate with criminals, and navigate a world filled with hidden dangers. Along the way, she gathers a small but loyal group of allies-a cold-hearted fallen noble, a thick-headed warrior, a skeptical scholar, and a seductive spy. With no magic of her own, she must use business, strategy, and deception to rise above the system. The world is against her, but she doesn't care. Because in the end, wealth isn't about magic or bloodline. It's about who plays the game better. And she intends to win.
She's Changed
As she is swept away into a world of unknowns she is forced to overcome her own mind as well as those around her. Between the new knowledge, she is given and the tasks she must accomplish there is little time for distraction. Yet there she is reliant on another.Complete
