The Shadows Return

MJM_8282IRIS
A deadly bluff. A sweet betrayal. A secret that changes everything. Ember Styles just wanted to survive her senior year in Sydney. As a hidden Elemental Guardian, "peace" is a dangerous illusion, but she’s determined to keep her two worlds from colliding. That is, until a covert mission into the Shadow Kingdom goes sideways. She didn't mean to be seen, and she certainly didn't mean for a handsome stranger to pick up the map she dropped. Caleb Alaric isn’t a prince in waiting—he’s a powerhouse pawn, a weapon forged by his kingdom to be deadly. Exhausted by a life of violence, he flees to Earth for a taste of freedom. When he recognizes Ember at a high school, he realizes she is the only person who can expose him. To protect his cover, Caleb plays a ruthless hand. He threatens to put a bounty on her head, claiming she’s a Guardian just to see if the lie will stick. He has no idea he’s accidentally stumbled onto her deadliest reality. Forced to befriend her own blackmailer, Ember finds herself drawn to the boy behind the threats. But as the friction between them turns magnetic, the game changes. Caleb was built to be a weapon, but as the shadows of their pasts close in, he realizes he can’t stand to lose the one girl he was supposed to break. Knowing he was from the enemy's kingdom, she befriended him to a slight dismay she may actually fall for him. In a world of shifting loyalties, the most dangerous thing isn't the price on her head—it’s the lengths he'll go to keep her.

Transmigrated as Furina, in the Naruto world

From Furina, starting the water-style domination of the ninja world [Furina + Naruto + Transformation + Single+ Bad Woman + Everyone's Idol + Genius] By some unexpected twist, she transmigrated into the Naruto world and actually became the popular character from her previous life's game Furina. The three seafood creatures she came with could only be kept as pets for viewing, nothing more. She originally thought she could just laze around, eat and wait for death as a useless slacker, letting the protagonist save the world. But unexpectedly, she activated the "Popular System." As long as viewers from another world liked her, she could gain Affection Points to add stats and level up. And when it came to being liked... this was truly right up her alley, a perfect fit for her expertise. "Naruto, I believe you can definitely become Hokage. From the moment you spoke of this dream..." "Sasuke, although I haven't gone through the same experiences and can't fully empathize, no matter if it's revenge or anything else, I will support you because we're comrades!" With her superb "acting skills" {though deep down she genuinely felt this way}, Furina naturally became the darling of the audience. But as time passed, gradually, the viewers suddenly realized that their gentle, understanding white moonlight had something a bit off about her. "The strongest 'Water Release' Tobirama Senju? He's just a mortal born in an era without me." "Uchiha Madara, what a delightful battle. I hope you can keep dancing a little longer." And this massive contrast between her before and after didn't make the audience uncomfortable at all instead, they liked her even more. ...... Furina: It's really not easy to make people hate me~ === Advance chapters: patreon.com/ReruoIzayoi
