I Got Stuck In My Favorite Webtoon by chibikc

I'm stuck in a Webtoon. Sounds cool, right? No. I should have watched Love Game in Eastern Fantasy a little closer instead of skipping through half the series. The only way home? Convince the dangerously handsome Legendary General to gift me one of his most prized possessions. Will I survive long enough to find my way back or will I lose myself in a story that isn't mine? *** This is a work of fiction that's set in a fantasy world. While inspiration has been drawn from various historical and cultural elements of Imperial China, it should not be considered an accurate representation of the history, politics, social order, spirituality, philosophy, or customers of those eras. Also heavily influenced and inspired by Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.

Nietzsche (L Lawliet) by hen_rietta

I'd like to say our story started when I was handed the Death Note by the golden, bejeweled Death God, but that's not the true beginning of my story if I'm being honest. No, my story started years in advance, before this murder book found its way to me. Technically, it started before I was born, really. You may be wondering, "how can your story start before you were born, Nietzsche?" Fate, dear witnesses. Fate. (I don't remember when I started this, but it's not finished, it will probably never be finished, I'm just publishing it out of boredom. Sorry.)

"No," I shook my head sitting back, "I saw you. We turn into pretty similar creatures, why do you think we're in a cave?" I smiled and lit my eyes up yellow and watched her immediately follow mine.

He- I probably shouldn't talk about it."****
