When The Door Next To Mine Opened

Shizuoka_
Takumi Hayasaka has known nothing but misfortune. From an abusive childhood to a college life marked by isolation and poverty, he lives each day in quiet resignation, numbed by the weight of his traumas. His tiny apartment is his only refuge—a space where silence and darkness reign. Until one day, the door next to his opens. Enter Saeko Tachibana—a graceful, mature woman in her early thirties, living alone. A warm smile, the scent of home-cooked meals, and a gentle voice begin to pierce the fog around Takumi. What starts as simple neighborly concern—offering him dinner, helping with laundry, lending a listening ear—slowly turns into something far deeper, something that begins to revive Takumi’s broken spirit. But Saeko carries her own past, and the healing between them is anything but easy. When the Door Next to Mine Opened is a heartfelt, slow-burn romance about recovery, quiet love, and the kind of kindness that changes a life. In a world that seemed to forget Takumi ever existed, Saeko’s affection reminds him what it means to be seen, to be cared for, and perhaps, to love again.

Reincarnated With a SSS-Rank Hypnosis Skill in Another World

Jake had spent his entire life buried in textbooks, chasing one exam after another — until he finally graduated from one of the world's top universities as a nuclear engineer. He thought the hard part was over. It wasn't. On the very first day of his new job, a speeding truck ended it all. But fate had other plans. Jake woke up in the arms of a stunning goddess who offered him a second chance — along with one extraordinary skill of his choosing. [Hypnosis (SSS-Rank): The power to control minds and issue irresistible commands.] Reborn as the bastard son of a noble house in a fantasy world, Jake quickly realized he held a power that could change everything. "Lady Aria," Jake said, his voice low and calm, "you'll find yourself wanting to obey me more than anything else." The cold, dignified head maid stiffened, her eyes clouding with confusion — then softening into eager submission. "Stepmother," Jake smiled lazily, "you've been working too hard. You need to let me take care of you... personally." The once-proud woman faltered, her cheeks flushing as she nodded without hesitation. "Miss Evelynn, heir of House Marlow," Jake said casually to the visiting noble, "you'll trust me more than anyone else in the world." With every whispered command, Jake planted a seed deep inside their minds — seeds that would soon blossom into absolute devotion. *** Check out my discord for character illustrations: https://discord.gg/Z9pY9tE9e8 (No Yuri/No NTR)

Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm

Martin was a succubus who perished at the hands of the Sun God, struck down by a single divine arrow during the epic war between gods and demons. Meanwhile, Martin, a Ph.D. in literature and a seasoned movie enthusiast, lost his life in a car accident in August 2023. By some cosmic twist of fate, the souls of the two Martins converged within the chaotic currents of time and space, merging and eventually settling in the body of an eleven-year-old boy named Martin Myers, living in Los Angeles in 1996. A world without spiritual energy? Fortunately, as a succubus, I don’t need spiritual energy to cultivate; all I need is the essence of desire. Emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and excitement—are all desires. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become fuel for my growth. Alright, let’s see what reliable ways exist in this world to stir people’s emotions en masse. Hmm, becoming a writer—sounds promising; and music, that could work too; but wow, Hollywood movies! They have a global reach; this is perfect! What’s that term again? Right—"Idea Recycler.” I’ll start with writing, but the ultimate goal is to become an international movie star. Acting skills, you say? Don’t worry—I’m a succubus, after all! Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this novel.
