I’ve always wondered if I was cursed from birth because the kind of bad luck that haunts me feels almost supernatural. People call me a computer genius, but my real talent is something no one sees. They say I’m beautiful, yet I bury that behind oversized clothes and a mountain of insecurities. After dumping my cheating boyfriend, the only steady thing left in my life was my soul-sucking job until I lost that too. And the man responsible? Theron Lockhart. My high school bully didn’t just return he returned as the new CEO of my company. And his first executive move? Firing me and my entire department, like history repeating itself in the cruelest way. He didn’t recognize me, which should’ve felt like relief. But fate clearly wasn’t done toying with me. One moment, he was rescuing me from a run-in with my ex. The next, a rumor had spread: I was his girlfriend. And then the tables turned because Theron needed to avoid a scandal, and I was his best option. “Name your price,” he said, that arrogant smirk still intact. “Do you want your job back?” I didn’t hesitate. “Make me a director. Only then will I pretend to be your loving girlfriend.” I thought he’d laugh. I didn’t expect him to say yes. “Deal,” he replied, his gaze locking on mine. “Just remember, Amaris Kennerly once you sign that contract, you belong to me.”

One Man. In One War. With Two Names. Among the Three Realms. He was Ymir Celestie of Lunar. The chaotic Prince of the Kingdom. A character I cherished so dearly because his design was modeled after me. One of the finest creations, and central antagonist in the game I was working on. But if someone asked whether I’d ever want to live his life, I’d probably stare at them and wonder what kind of non-sense hypothetical situation they might be imagining. BECAUSE THIS MAN IS A FUCKING PSYCHOPATH! He's a butcher, a maniac, someone who would murder for disrepecting him, even if that's indirect. . . And here I was… reincarnated as a psychopath, hiding behind the mask of a prince, and a professor. --- Disclaimer: All characters, events, and mythologies depicted in this work are entirely fictional.

"My Lord, I Have a Question" is a novel that blends elements of transmigration, system mechanics, political intrigue, action, magic, mystery, and detective fiction. Set in a fantasy world reminiscent of Victorian-era England, it uniquely combines Western fantasy, steampunk aesthetics, and mythology. This is a journey of acquiring knowledge, uncovering the truth of the world, and guiding ordinary people away from the conspiracies woven by mysterious forces.

When the world begins to crack in places no one else can see, Aira is the only one who notices the whispers calling her name. Then she meets Rimuru — a mysterious girl with white hair, blue eyes that shimmer like another sky, and a smile that hides more than it reveals. Rimuru isn’t fully real. Each time she uses her power to fight the “Echoes” leaking through the Veil between worlds, her body flickers — as if reality itself is rejecting her. But near Aira, something changes. She becomes stable. Solid. Alive. As the Veil weakens and ancient shadows stir, the truth begins to surface: Aira is more than human, and Rimuru is more than lost. Together, they might be the only ones who can stop the world from unraveling — if their connection doesn’t rewrite it first. A story of light and memory, of laughter born in chaos, and of love powerful enough to defy the laws of existence.
