A novel published on December 31, 1980, became a global sensation throughout the 1980s. Its popularity was so massive that it lasted well into the 2020s, leading to multiple adaptations: movies, dramas, comics, and even an Otome game. Viviana Carsten, a 60-year-old chairwoman of a massive electronics conglomerate with five major subsidiaries, was obsessed with the novel as a teenager. When it was turned into an Otome game (a reverse harem dating sim), she couldn’t resist checking it out. The game had five difficulty modes, ranging from very easy to very hard. It turned out her grandniece was also obsessed with the game. When she realized the Otome game was based on Viviana’s favorite novel, she played through all the modes, ending with the notorious “very hard” mode. There was even a $10 million prize for anyone who could beat it. The catch? Each reset cost $1,000, and the game was brutally difficult. The twist? Someone hacked the game’s hardest mode. Originally, you’d start with -20% affection from each male lead, but the hack made it -80%. The objective in every mode was to reach 100% affection from all the male leads, but starting from -80%? Practically impossible. Especially when each of the male leads is dangerous and influential, and a single mistake could mean death. Viviana, being rich and stubborn, tried the game herself. She got so hooked she forgot to sleep, ignored work, and completely abandoned her perfectionist lifestyle. Then one day, without realizing it, she passed out… and woke up inside the game, as the villainess. Her first word? “Shit.” Now stuck in the brutal “very hard” mode, Viviana has to survive in a world where everyone wants her dead. Welcome to Viviana’s survival story, trapped inside an insane reverse harem Otome game. Happy gaming!

In which I fell in love with my brother's best friend. ••••• "Don't pretend like you don't feel anything." His voice is low, sending shivers down my spine. "What do you mean?" "You know damn well what I mean." "I don't know what you're talking about." I pretend to ignore him, flipping some pages in my book. "Come on. I have all these assignments waiting. Aren't you supposed to teach me tonight?" "It depends on what you want me to teach." He smirks, his voice sounding even more dangerous. ••••• I thought that my brother was the most popular guy in school, but as soon as i step into my university life, I realize how wrong i was. Meet Vaughn Cooper, his best friend. The guy is the epitome of every girl's dream. Godlike handsome. The quarterback. He's got the looks, and he's got the brain. Come on, he's got the scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country, while I have just barely passed the entrance examination after long years of struggle during high school. How could a guy who worked that hard and deserves nothing more but adoration be labeled as a bad boy? Yeah, the answer is simple. The moment we lock eyes, I realize something as i stare into those piercing, amber eyes. He's not every girl's dream. He's every girl's nightmare. In my case, my nightmare.

#MATURECONTENT #SMUT #REDFLAG . . Her Ex says "You're something that can't be shown in public Penny. You're fat, fat repels people and worse you're ugly." Her sister says, "Take a good look at yourself, Penny. I'm better looking than you, why wouldn't Chris choose me?" Her mother says, "You're an embarrassment. I wish you were dead." Her stepfather says, "You're useless and will never amount to anything." Their servants say, "She's a product of rape. The child that had ruined her mother's life." But he says, "You're my life. My wife. My everything. Anyone who dares bully you will have me to contend with." After being betrayed by her ex and sister, Penelope is deceived into marriage with a mad Billionaire. But what she thought to be a curse, turned out to be the sweetest thing in the world. It was surprising how much the madman dotted on her and was ready to kill anyone who touched his wife. . . Excerpts, "I... I'm fat, nobody wants to be with fat a girl." She blurted out, hoping he would stop trying to rip off the sheets from her body if he was aware of it. It's a norm for men to hate fat women. They get easily turned off when they see the larger boobs, flat wide ass, and pot belly. But the man before her didn't seem like he cared. "I have eyes, woman," he said flatly. This man must truly be crazy. His hand slid higher, the sheet slipping between his fingers and she panicked even more. "I'm uneducated. Unemployed and eat a drum of food every day." Penny continued. She would do anything, anything to make him see her as unattractive. "I drive a Tata Nano car. The cheapest car in the world. I'm useless, a product of rape, and a shapeless cow. How can you still want me after all these?" Penny cried out. "Then why are you here?" His voice turned cold, anger burning in his eyes. He had no idea why such a beautiful woman would look down on herself like this. "B... Because I... I was forced to marry you." She said hoping he would let her go, but it seemed her words only fueled him more. "Is that so?" His breath warmed her skin as he leaned in, his lips a hairsbreadth from her ear. A dark chuckle escaped his lips as he watched her tremble. "Then you're mine now. My wife. Mine alone." He growled. . . For more info, you can follow me on all social media. @kourtneysspears.

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again.

"You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story.

Omegaverse## Kaelith thought his life was over when his machine blinked its last light, his step-sister’s novel still in his hands. Dying while reading a love story: wasn’t that just cruel irony? He never even had the chance to experience love himself. But death wasn’t the end—it was a reset. When Kael opened his eyes, he wasn’t in a hospital or some afterlife. He was inside the world of very book he had just finished, a world ruled by Alphas, where Omegas were expected to submit, and vampires lurked in the shadows of power. And him? He was a nobody. A character that wasn’t meant to exist. But worse than that, he was an Omega, born into a prestigious Alpha family that saw his existence as a stain. Hidden from the world by a father who refused to acknowledge him, protected only by a mother’s desperate pleas. Yet, unlike the character in the novel who lived in quiet submission, Kael refused to let this new life be another cage. He wanted to live. To experience everything he never could. So he went to college. He went to parties. He kissed a stranger at a club. That was his first mistake. Because that stranger? Leonhardt. A ruthless Alpha who never cared for Omegas until Kael’s scent shattered his world. Then came Veyron. The Chaos Bringer. And lastly, Cauis. The sanctuary.

He didn’t know if he wanted to escape or to fall even deeper. — An Alpha. A Vampire. A Beta. Who would he choose? Would it be Leonhardt, the possessive Alpha who refuses to let him go? Veyron, the enigmatic vampire who tempts him with both danger and pleasure? Or Cauis, the only one who offers him a love with conditions? One heart. Three paths. Which one will he follow? ##Note that it's just the world of the book he entered, so the plot won't follow especially when they are two different characters. He's now a main character in this world, more like writing his own storyline.
