One of the knights had stopped galloping. After they have stopped, they were shocked by what they saw.
People who wore black clothings and hid their faces were tied together as they had lost consciousness. A young boy was resting above a tree while looking down at them. His eyes that dyed with darkness as his hair swayed on the wind. He had leap from the tree as he walk towards the carriage.
The knights had unsheath their swords in preparing to fight but the boy doesn't even glace as he approached the carriage. As he reached the carriage, he called out to the princess who was inside it.
"Sup, nice to see you again."[Boy]
The boy gave a grin as he stared at the girl...

It was on a small house, built in the middle of the forest. The knights were stationed outside the house as three people walk towards inside.
They were shock that it was clean and well oragnized. The house was plain furniture but it was polished like a noble's mansion. The boy called out to them.
"Do you want some tea?"[Boy]
The boy handed them some tea and cookies while the princess was comfortable on the couch. As the boy sat down on a chair, he stared at the blissful girl.
"So, what do you want?"[Boy]

The knight was pissed at the boy's words but he sheath his sword and sat down. The boy glared at the princess.
"Why did you even come here for? You already know that i don't even give a damn about your kingdom."[Boy]
"..."[Princess]
"Grr..."[Knight]
The princess became teary eyed seeing the boy was pissed while the knight was releasing killing intent as he glared at the boy.
"I want you to train the heroes. I beg of you."[Princess]
The princess gave a pleading voice at the boy as she was in a dire need of help. The knight became depress as he stared at the princess. The boy didn't say anything as he raise his head up.
"Haah..."
He gave a sigh as he looked at the princess. The air around him got even more colder as he was staring at the princess. The knight shuttered as he was now being in contact with a strong monster as the boy took a sip of the tea.
"Did you think that i would help you?"[Boy]
"..."[Princess]
The boy gave a dead eyes to the princess as the knight could do nothing to the boy. The princess gave resolve as she stared at the boy.
"...i-i would do anything to help our kingdom, please ask."[Princess]
As the princess said that, the boy looked at the princess body as he gave a lewd look at her. The knight gritted his teeth as the person he serve was offering her body to him. After the boy looked at the girl's body, he gave a smirk as he wasn't interested in her.
"Then we have ourselves a deal."[Boy]
"Why you..."[Knight]
The knight couldn't take the shame and charge at the boy.
"How much?"[Boy]
""...""
A cold silence had emerge from the house. The princess and even the knight had their jaw drop as the boy said those words.

The Kodoku Game
In Japanese folklore, there once existed an ancient technique among alchemists for harvesting the strongest poison known to man. A poison so vicious, so horrendous, that a single drop could incapacitate an entire nation of humans, several times over. A poison so intense that a single drop could turn the tides of a war on its head. As potent as it appeared however, this poison could be harvested from the blood of a single insect alone- an insect the alchemist’s called the ‘Kodoku’. As lucrative as was attaining this poison however, the problem lied in identifying this insect- its appearance, shape and size changed from region to region and from continent to continent. Sometimes it took the appearance of a ladybug and other times a horned-beetle. In order to determine the identity of this special insect the alchemists came up with an ingenious method. They created an impregnable jar of clay out of the best sandstone they could find and placed hundreds of different insects into the same jar. The jar was made with such great mastery that it allowed no insects to escape and allowed no objects to enter. The laws of nature dictated that the insects would remain together in the jar forever. However, it turned out that as time went on, the insects’ hunger for food and power caused them to turn against each other- one insect ate another until only one remained. This sole insect contained a poison that far surpassed that of all the others and became stronger as it ate more and more insects. The alchemists at this point had succeeded in identifying the Kodoku and could extract it’s poison as long as they continued to feed it regularly. Although this folklore ends here, the actual story does not. One day, as the alchemists cheered in joy of having identified the Kodoku they so eagerly wanted, they forgot to close the lid on the very jar that was considered to be completely impregnable. This small gap was just large enough for the Kodoku inside to crawl out. Famished from not having been fed for weeks, the Kodoku ended up eating the very alchemists that nourished its growth until not even the bones remained. Yet, the Kodoku’s hunger didn’t seem to subside in the slightest. So it traveled to the next village and began eating whatever it could find there. Its poison made it unparalleled in strength and slowly but surely it began to dwindle down the population of the entire city. Yet its hunger only continued to grow. So it traveled to the next city over and ate all it could there. Very soon, the Kodoku couldn’t find any more food to eat. There was no one left to eat and no one left to spectate. So it stood there, by itself pondering what possibly was left to eat that could satiate its hunger. But there was one thing left that Kodoku realized it had never eaten. Itself.

Living the Great Sage Life with my Fairies and Lovers in a New World
*Currently on hiatus* *This is a slow burn harem story. The beginning is fairly light, with suggestive content picking up in later chapters. All characters participating in explicit content are 18 years of age, or older. Said explicit content has been toned down and euphemized to meet site regulations, check this story out on other platforms for the uncut version.* An American IT with a passion for magic and fantasy died on his 39th birthday as a virgin due to a stab to the gut while protecting a coworker of his. He might as well died a 'Wizard' that needed one more year to become a 'Sage.' Then, like in recent isekais, he was reincarnated in a new world as Soar Osmis with memories of his past life intact. This new magical world of Manara is where everyone has a chance to become an aspiring Magician, be blessed with powers by forming contracts with fairies as Chaperone and Companion, and special abilities called 'gifts,' and it just so happened that Soar was given the 'Wizard' gift at birth. Thus, began the mostly slice-of-life harem isekai story of a man reincarnated in a world centering around the very thing he loved: magic, as he trained and used the knowledge from his past life to carve a path to a new one on his own terms while growing as a 'Great Sage.' Some RPG game mechanics applied with a growing OP MC with humans and demi-humans as love interests. Profanity and little gory violence is included, characters in explicit sex scenes are at and above the legal age (MC won't have such scenes until his new body is around that age). Some scenes include yuri (F X F).
