Things aren't always what they appear to be.
  
  A kingdom is currently in the midst of a civil war. The old King has passed away, and two factions have risen up, each supporting a different potential successor: the king's young son, raised by royalty and prepared for kingship his whole life, or a popular magistrate from the countryside, risen to fame on the backs of the people he governed. 
  
  Bloody fighting has consumed the land. Roads, towns, and even cities aren't entirely safe.
  
  Enter Marek, the young sorcerer with an innate gift for magic. He can create illusions: hallucinations, images, sounds, sights, tastes, even emotions. His whole life, he's dealt with things that weren't real, but were thought to be.  Currently, he wanders aimlessly through the country, driven away from his home by the people he once knew.
  
  Enter Casi, the telepath who crosses paths with Marek in a dusty inn. The two set off on an adventure that will test their limits, and it stretches their minds on the subject of what it truly means to be human.All Rights Reserved

Emily has always been a simple village girl-or so she thought. Raised by her loving but secretive Nana and Uncle Sebastian, her life has been anything but ordinary. Every five years, they uproot and move to a new place. And then there's the one thing that sets her apart from everyone else: she can teleport. In the Six Kingdoms, creatures known as "Travelers"-those who can cross between realms-are believed to be long extinct. But Emily is living proof that the legends are wrong. She has inherited a rare and powerful gift, one that once belonged to her mother. Yet, this ability is dangerous, a secret that must be kept at all costs. When Emily stumbles upon the truth about her parents' past, she is thrust into a world of hidden legacies, forbidden magic, and long-buried secrets. As she unravels the mysteries surrounding her origins, she must learn to control a power that could tear the very fabric of reality apart. Who can she trust when even those closest to her have secrets of their own? With only a forgotten amulet, the echoes of a mother she never knew, and the unwavering love of her guardians, Emily must navigate a path fraught with peril, love, and betrayal. Because in a world where the past refuses to stay buried, her destiny is not just her own-it could determine the fate of all realms.

Please spare me, Villain! by Genguin

Imagine, just for a second, let's imagine you end up somehow travelling into your favourite book. Then you started working your magic and you cosy up to the male lead who was supposed to get you killed or you make the demon lord fall in love with you so he can protect you from your imminent death. And woah you got your happy ending. But now let's imagine a completely different scenario where you end up in a book you read like 10 pages of (including the ending). And you find yourself literally dropped into the lap of a psychopathic rival who enjoys just a teeny bit of bloodshed. He's also the guy who killed your favourite character and not to mention you. But then you hold on for a second because you realise you're not dead and he wants to use you as an immortal tool to sharpen his aim. Well that's the story I ended up living in. And I've got one request from Mr. Villain over there, please spare me!
