    Summary

    Anaxa is a minor NPC villain, his death destined to be an inconsequential footnote of the true protagonist's story. However, one day Anaxa suddenly gains memories of the past incarnations he's lived through, and realizes this world is stuck in a looping cycle. The hero, Phainon, has actually perished countless times in his quest to save the world, and now only Anaxa has the insight to prevent him from failing once again. Unfortunately, the rest of the world still sees Anaxa as a strange, evil sorcerer. Will he be able to convince others of his good intentions while also avoiding the numerous death flags lining the path to a happy ending?

    Summary

    Avid reader Aventurine wakes up as a noble in his favourite novel, 'Trailblazing Romance' which should've been a dream come true—until he realises he's inhabiting a body with a mysterious illness whose of no one else but the nameless spouse of Veritas Ratio—the villain he always loathed and who the spouse is destined to be executed alongside.

    Determined to (literally) keep his head on his shoulders, Aventurine does everything in his power to avoid the execution that ended the original timeline.

    But while doing so, he learns that Veritas Ratio isn’t exactly the villain and that the heroine perspective might not have been exactly correct.

    He had to admit, even though Trailblazing Romance was mostly shitty and had huge plot holes, it had one thing going for it—the way the heroine and the prince fit together perfectly.

    Their loyalty, the build up from strangers to friends to then romantic partners—all of that had been unfairly adorable to read. And Aventurine may or may not have giggled a few times while reading those parts, but nobody had to know that.

    Summary

    "Of all the ridiculous, risky things I expect of you, gambler," he said, slowly and deliberately, "bringing a trained assassin to your own home — one that attempted to kill you mere hours ago, no less — was decidedly not on the list of things I ever anticipated."

    The tone was scathing, harsh and reproachful, but it did little to faze the smaller man, whose smile never faltered. "One of these days I'm going to teach you that to gamble well means being able to anticipate any outcome, no matter how ridiculous or impossible it might seem."

    While on their first field assignment since Penacony, Aventurine and Ratio are surprised to encounter a vengeful Avgin mercenary. As soon as she speaks, however, a name and face from the past spring instantly to Aventurine's mind — that of his supposedly dead sister, Kadriya. In what proves to be the biggest gamble of his life, he strikes a deal with her to convince her to come back to Pier Point with him, even though he can't be sure of her actual identity. What follows is a tense and chaotic ride that none of them expected, filled with mystery, secrets, distrust… and regret.

    Summary

    It’s not often that Hogwarts accepts a transfer student in their seventh year – but that’s not the only thing that makes Aventurine special.

    A Muggle-born Slytherin, a charismatic showman, and a fool who sometimes seems like he has no idea how to cast magic… but at times seems capable of far more than he should.

    The more Ratio learns about his new classmate, the greater his intrigue grows.

    … And the deeper his emotions become.

    Summary

    Guizhong has once told him that she thinks he'll give it to someone he loves. To someone that would care for him. To someone that would give him the world and not take it from him. To someone that would give him everything he would ever ask for just as how those doctors took it from him.

    He thought it was ridiculous. He thought it would never happen, with the life he had. He never once thought he would find love. Platonic or romantic. That he would never find it because he's undeserving and who would dare love someone like him? Who's been touched and been so... ruined for everything?

    That carried on even when he's left whatever that hellhole was. When he entered the arena and further destroyed whatever remains he had. No one would love him. No one would look at him and think that they've found their person.

    Until he met Childe.
