Black Clover: The Forged Heretic

Nameless_Dreamer
Kenji Tanaka was a man of spreadsheets, data points, and predictable outcomes. A 28-year-old Tokyo data analyst who lived a life of sterile efficiency, his existence ended with a boring death and a terrifying reboot. He is reborn as Lencar Abarame in the Forsaken Realm—a dirt-poor peasant in the village of Sosei, living in a world where magic is the only currency that matters. Reborn in the world of Black Clover, Lencar Abarame awakens "Replica Magic"—the power to copy any grimoire he touches. He secretly copies Asta's Anti-Magic and Yuno's immense mana, creating a unique "Heretic Mode" that allows him to toggle between the two. Now Lencar must use his analytical mind to survive, secretly mastering his stolen powers and walking a fine line between enemies and allies. He is a heretic, a thief, and an analyst in a world that believes only in the gifted. ____ Note about Chapter release and Powerstones I will release 8 chapters per week (might change later) For 20 Powerstones, I will release 1 extra chapter that week For 50 Powerstones, one more extra chapter For 100 Powerstones, two more extra chapters that week

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! Character driven, before plot! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same. ──── ୨୧ ──── There are occasional illustrations littered throughout the novel drawn by me (slowly commissioning to get others done), usually found in the comments! !!CREDIT!! Cover Art by @Sayoto (VGen) Illustrations by me (@meowssey) and zaza (@zazhah) (Both commissioned artists are amazing to work with and I highly recommend their work!)
