In the early pre-colonial years, in the then known Ile-Ife empire, a king had ruled and he was known as the Alaafin, the chosen one of the gods, he was the pride and joy of the people, that is, until he goes against the customs and traditions of the kingdom and takes the laws of the people into his own hands, he will then be asked to commit suicide.
So what happens when the Alaafin is presented with the empty calabash but he doesn't want to die, he doesn't want to give up his throne, when the most loyal of men are asked to turn their backs on the very people who raised them and the ways of the people are turning out to be not what they seem?.
Delve deep into the history of the Nigerian-Yoruba culture, where there wasn't just slave trade and colonisation, where the very leader of the land turns his back on his own people because of jealousy, greed, lust and power.

"How could you do this to me?" "I have people to protect." "Curse you." "This chest won't open for you. Your power is locked away forever." "CURSE YOU!" The hero then walked away and left her there at the chest for all eternity. Or so he thought. Thousands of years later, now in a cave she hears someone coming.

Hard Man
Although no one knew it, Desire was struggling. It was highly unbelievable because as a top worker in one of Lagos' most exclusive and influential night clubs, she was making thousands every night. All her other friends were living large, and building houses, so why couldn't she? Her father had died five years ago, leaving them drowning in a sea of debt. Her mother was sick, and couldn't do anything, so from an early age Desire had had to wear the mantle of responsibility. A twenty six million naira debt was on her neck, and for five years, Desire had consistently been paying it off; while simultaneously keeping a roof over her mother's head, and saving up money for school. Salvation came at last; but in form of the hardest, most handsome man she had ever laid eyes upon? General Babalola Halal. He was offering five million Naira for a whole month of exclusive sex. Pure, undiluted gratification. It was her job, and this offer was coming on a platter of gold. Even more tempting was the fact that it was the exact amount needed to be free of her father's debt. Completely. But he was hard, and demanding, and excruciatingly virile. Accepting this posed a risk far greater than millions. The stark reality of losing everything she stood for, and gaining nothing in return because a man like this never gave anything of himself. He was rich, five million Naira meant nothing to him. But she knew what she was getting into, she knew how addictive his touch was, and how hard it was to stay sane around him. Could she do this? Was losing her sanity a price she was willing to pay?Complete

The Villainous Hero that Kept the Villain as a Pet so he can Live in Luxury
There's a story about a young prince that was treated like trash by the people around him. However, like most of these stories, he ends up having an op power and gets revenge on all the people that wronged him, while also helping other people. However, in the process of doing all that, he kept his identity a secret so he doesn't get unwanted attention. It was the type of story where you would get frustrated about how the main character kept getting his credit stolen by side characters. However, he didn't mind as he only wanted to help people, because he was genuinely kind at heart. The Villain, on the other hand, was an evil person. He was a tyrannical person that had even forced the emperor to give him a high ranking title as a duke. He ran a mercenary company that was known to be ruthless, but they did complete all their jobs as they were asked to. The Villain was known to be the owner of the black void sword, which was known to be the sword of the fallen demon king. With it, he became one of the most powerful men on the continent, and nobody dared to cross him. However, the prince's path as the righteous hero meant that he would always clash with the villain of the story. ... "Ah... fuck..." It seems I was reincarnated as that prince that was labeled trash after I accidentally saved a kid from a truck. I don't really want to do any of that justice crap, nor do I want to keep being treated like shit. Not to mention, the whole secret identity part of that novel was the worst. There's no way I'm gonna hide the fact that I'm op. ... Thus, our main character, Takagi Inari, reincarnated into the young prince, Takagi Inari. However, can someone as shameless as him even count as the hero of the story? Wait. Too late. He's already put a collar on the original Villain to keep as a pet. Seeing the two, who's even the real villain anymore... (I don't do extra extra checks for this series. So there might be misspellings or grammar issues for this series)
