Jared Venator, or as most knew him, Scar Tacer, was, to simply put, a Mercenary, a bounty hunter, a jack of all trades if you will. He traveled the Itonian kingdom and beyond, working jobs that ranged from the highest money to the highest information and everything in between. As it was, his main clients happened to be the Itonian crown, and multiple businesses that ranged from Corporations to Industries, to Intelligence Services.
But nothing is ever normal in his life, and soon enough, he meets a man who offers him a deal, one that will open his eyes, and change his reality, forever.

The Hollow Crown
In the city of Veilrest, where shadows breathe and nightmares walk, power is a curse disguised as a gift. The once-glorious kingdom has been rotting from within, its throne left vacant after the royal bloodline was slaughtered in the dark of a moonless night. Now, the land festers under the rule of a nameless tyrant-one whose face is never seen, only felt in the whispers of the cursed and the screams of the vanished. Kastor Veyne never wanted to be a hero. With a metal-forged leg replacing what was lost to Veilrest's cruelty, he's learned that survival is the closest thing to victory. But when a prophecy names him as the rightful heir to the Hollow Crown, he's dragged into a war of monsters and gods-one he never asked to fight. By his side is Silas, a rogue with ink-stained hands and secrets older than the kingdom itself, and Lysara, a necromancer with a grudge against the living and an even greater hatred for fate. As Kastor unearths the city's buried horrors, he discovers that the Hollow Crown is not a throne-it's a prison. And the only way to break free might be to embrace the darkness he's spent his whole life running from. But power always comes with a price. And Kastor is about to learn what it means to lose everything.Complete

Fading Shadows
#Bl #Smut #Don't like don't read or else enjoy. System 003 "Happy Ending for Villains", first time having a host, worked in 1037th worlds with it's host so far and now in 1038th world. Our host this time transmigrated as Hu Chen Mu, a man who was originally the real son of a wealthy family but was switched at birth with Hu Mengyu, who grew up in his place. In their first life (the original timeline), Hu Chen Mu eventually returned to the family after learning the truth. However, filled with bitterness and jealousy, he launched a ruthless campaign against Hu Mengyu, destroying him both personally and professionally. In the second lifetime the transmigrator in this story, Yan JingJi, Hu Mengyu's childhood friend, became Hu Chen Mu's greatest enemy. Although Yan JingJi couldn't kill Hu Chen Mu due to his "protagonist halo" (the plot armor protecting the protagonist), he made sure that Hu Chen Mu's life ended miserably, sending him to prison where he would live in misery until old age, thus turning Hu Chen Mu our villain. Our Host here is to have a perfect love for lifetime, while turning around all the plots and twist to make the "Happy Ending for the Villain." A/n Sweet but sad love story, and credit goes to my mind. I love this story. Pictures I got from internet, they are not made by me. Thank you. Enjoy 😊😊Complete
