wonder bookstore

A doctor has died, and returned to life as a bookstore owner, finding himself catering to the dead. The world of ghosts and ghostly encounters opens up before him, and as old tales mingle with new, and the worries of the dead carry over to the living, he finds himself caught as an Envoy between the two worlds, and life and death are no longer idle terms to him... A bookstore that opens late at night... Welcome.

Born into an abusive, unstable family and crippled from a young age, Harley grew up with pain as his only constant. Happiness was something he learned about through books—fantasy novels, forgotten histories, and imagined worlds where suffering had meaning. Then he died, and death wasn't the end of his suffering. Reincarnated into the world of the last novel he read, where humanity survives an apocalypse through supernatural "Awakened" warriors battling creatures from beyond reality, Harley should have been given a second chance at a good life. Instead, he was discarded. Thrown out of the noble household he was born into, Harley lived as a slave in the mines, a circus clown mocked for survival, all to eat. So when fate finally offered him the chance to awaken—to gain power like the others—Harley broke once again. Because after surviving a horrific trial, the power he awakened—although powerful—had a fatal condition that he could never accept. ... Author's note: This novel is dark, and the first few chapters portrays the MC's mindset from being an ordinary man to getting chosen by the Harvest. Everything he does is for his own benefit. There would be a female lead, but you guys would hate her... I think. I personally liked the way I designed her. Anyways, see y'all at chapter 100. Side note... the book started out very slow. Additional tags: No-Harem.

As the sole living relative, he gets to inherit his old pop’s bookstore. A place where he had spent most of his childhood. There, however, he finds an ancient book that ends up shaking his view on the world and raising the curtain over a side he never knew existed, one filled with magic, mythical creatures, and all sorts of dangers. “Wait a minute! Are you telling me, grandpa was a wizard?!” Follow Lucien as he slowly unveils the mysteries of this hidden world, meets new people, saves princesses, befriends dragons, and uncovers the ancient secrets of his bloodline. This is the story of the Bookstore Mage. ******* This story is set in a modern-day setting. It’s not earth but a parallel world similar to ours with different countries and all of that. There will be some world-hoping elements down the line. There will be some elements of army building. There will be pets. There will not be any harem, I’m not confident enough to write a realistic one without compromising the relationships. There will be a realistic development of both the MC’s powers and his relationships. This will seem like a slow start, but it will hopefully pick up the pace whilst still being enjoyable. I’m not writing the chapters now, this is an old draft I had for a long time. So the updates will be consistent. And lastly: The cover Is not mine, if the owner would like me to remove it please let me know.
