Hey guys, and welcome to part one of the long-awaited crossover series between Solo Leveling and Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint! I do apologize for the wait, as you may have known, this is the time of the year when my work schedule is about to get extremely busy. I will do my best to update as often as I can, though I might leave this blog periodically to focus on my physical and mental health.

Special thanks to my collaborator @circeyoru and my beta @the-archer-goddess for helping me trudge through two difficult drafts that required a lot of revisions and research. The resources I used were from the manhwa and light novels of both series plus the wikis, so I’ll be citing them here.

With that being said, sit back, relax, and let’s see what will be broadcasting on today’s Star Stream~!

If there’s a downside to being a reader, it’s being self-aware that your existence will not have an impact on the events which will unfold inside the novel you were stuck in. Nothing you do will change anything except maybe unintentionally cause more problems for the other characters as a mob. For instance, Woo Jin-chul speaking to you over the phone on Sunday afternoon in a clipped, icy tone that broached no argument or bullshit. 

“Effective immediately, you are hereby suspended from Hunter activities until further notice. You’ve caused a lot of trouble for us at the Association. Do I make myself clear, Hunter [Last Name]?”

Woo Jin-chul was written to be a serious character who followed everything by the book. But he still could’ve just said you’re fired and hung up.  Oh well, it’s not like it matters anymore. You’ve already emailed him a nice, formal resignation letter that he’ll probably read on Monday or whenever he gets into the office. 

What the Chief Inspector of the Surveillance Team from now on shouldn’t be any concern for you.  It was time to move on and start over in a city that isn’t Seoul or else you’ll have an unknown penalty from the Side Character System. 

You’ve just sealed the last box up in tape, any trace of your existence is gone; neatly removed, a blank canvas for the family of three who purchased your condo to fill with their possessions, create new memories and so on.  Damned shame though. You really liked this place. You wanted to stay within walking distance of a family-owned bookstore slash coffee shop but this is part of the scenario you had to follow. 

Why does a Hunter like you have a system like the protagonist of Solo Leveling, Sung Jin-Woo? Maybe it’s because you are a reader, an outlier to this fictional world, that you are equipped with a system to ensure your survival in this place. And as someone who has read this 200 chaptered novel from cover to cover, the Side Character System has given you two objectives to complete until this story ends: help the protagonist move forward in tandem with the plot, and prevent any deviation from said story structure. The latter includes not getting closer to Sung Jin-Woo beyond a side character who saw his tenacity and quick thinking as variables that are much more valuable than rankings, armor, and weapons.

It was also nice to just pay 50 gold coins for the survival fee rather than the full 100 gold coins when he participated in your daily stamina quests with you, when he could. After all, the whole reason he became a Hunter was to provide for his family. His little sister Jinha is in high school and wants to be a doctor. His mother, Park Kyung-Hye, succumbed to the Eternal Sleeping disease and fell into a coma. Despite the astronomical hospital bills, Jin-Woo risked his life countless times to pay them and ensure she was in good care.

Solo Leveling. Its characters, magic system, the mysteries behind the spawning gates and the magical beasts that emerge from them, you love it all. You cherished these people even when you knew they would not spare an iota of attention on someone as insignificant as a side character like yourself. They saved you in ways they couldn’t understand and you did not want them to know.

So, you began to help them in small ways.

Discreetly paying the hospital bills for Jin-Woo, almost all of it yet just enough for the Weakest Hunter of All Mankind to pay the remainder and still have enough to buy fried chicken for dinner. Introducing Cha Hae-in to a weapons specialist when she entered the industry after being evaluated as an S-Rank Hunter. Help Baek Yoonho avoid the paparazzi when he was discreetly out in public. Join in on Sung Jin-Woo’s dungeon raids and teach [ or at least tried to, damned plot!] him how to use his surroundings to his advantage and craft potions without going broke on ingredients. You know, the small things that could be done by utilizing the advantages of an A-Rank Hunter who is known as The Laziest Hunter of All Mankind.

Bastards.

Just because you were dressed in a black buttoned down blouse and slacks and the white Infinite Dimension Coat doesn’t mean you aren’t prepared to move out when the Association needs you or there’s a job listing that requires your skill sets! There’s a practical use for your special grade item, and it’s to store stuff in your pocket as long as the items are not bigger than your body! You use it mainly for mana and essence crystals! Furthermore, you never leave home without Unbreakable Faith strapped to your side or in your Inventory. You worked too damned hard to acquire this item too after the shitty scenario you had to go through! And comfortable shoes were a must if you’re gonna be trekking for long periods of time in a dungeon! Good, expensive shoes that look like ordinary sneakers!

 Oh, the media mocks you for being on your phone when they decide to take a picture of you and post it online? Screw them! This is the best way to read webnovels, and you have been working your ass off to complete the scenarios that the system has given you! You’re allowed to have a little downtime before you’re back on the clock again, damn it! Having the Bookmark, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, and Fourth Wall are extremely difficult skills to maintain since you can’t level up like Sung Jin-Woo! The Demon King of Salvation and Lone Messiah skills too! Unless you meet certain requirements, they’re useless! It’s always a good idea to check and double-check what you could or couldn’t do before making a move on the enemy. 

Which is probably why you had died during the red gate incident. Yes, you died. You got stabbed in the abdomen by an Ice Slayer who thought they would be helping Baruka win against the protagonist by being a sneaky asshole, and you did it because that was what the scenario told you to do. Get inside the red gate, protect Sung Jin-Woo and the other White Tiger Guild members for the whole three days and you would get rewarded.  The icing on the cake is that you had to lie and tell the protagonist that you were here inside the red gate because Woo Jin-chun told you that the S-Rank Hunter Hwang Dongsoo flew in from America to get even after he got word about what happened to his little brother in the last C-Rank dungeon he was in with Jinho, and your job was to do damage control in case anything happened. 

Shitty system. 

Anyway, Bookmark. In layman’s terms, Bookmark is a skill that allows you to copy the abilities of characters you have a deep understanding of. The deeper your understanding of the character, the more powerful the skill will be upon recreation. If your understanding of the character is low, then only part of the character’s skill is activated and the power is halved.  If you wanted to use ‘bookmark’ another character, the slot had to be emptied before inserting a new one, appearing behind you as a hologram of a book flipping through the pages until it landed on the skill you wanted to activate. Oh, and it can only be activated for a limited time. Currently, you can do it for ten minutes. The max is thirty, but you still had a long way to go before you could even reach that point. And of course, of all the characters who had an ability to take down Ice Slayers, Choi Jongin had been the one you selected. Choi Jongin is the Hunters’ fire-wielding guildmaster who got thirty seconds of screen-time in the novel at the most. You were pretty sure it increased to fifty seconds during the Jeju Raid arc. Including Baek Yoonho, he was desperate to recruit Sung Jin-Woo after hearing about the extent of his abilities.  

But back to the Bookmark skill slot. You used it, and because of your lack of understanding Choi Jongchin, your reproduced fire magic was only strong enough to knock down Ice Slayers, not incinerate them. You saw the Ice Slayer try to get one up on Sung Jin-Woo and you died. 

If you’re being completely honest, it didn’t feel like you were dying as you were cradled in Sung Jin-woo’s arms and seeing black spots in your vision.  Death was…like sleeping really, or logging out of a game for a moment and then logging back in. When you came to consciousness, having activated the Lone Messiah skill with just enough karma points you had collected and the blood of an eight-headed dragon you killed in an A-Rank dungeon, no one was there when you woke up except for a screaming nurse who just happened to be in the room at the time to check on your vitals.  That was when a familiar blue screen popped up in front of you, commencing the start of the next scenario with a timer and the requirements to complete it. 

[Scenario – Beast Rearing

Category: Sub

Difficulty: E

Clear Conditions: Leave Seoul  and keep the existence of the dokkaebi Biyoo a secret from civilians and Hunters. 

Time Limit: 21 days

Compensation: 500 coins. Expansion of shop items in relation to raising the dokkaebi Biyoo, including the availability of consumable monster corpses and mana crystals for a discounted price. 

 Failure: ???] 

“Ba-baht?”

The tiny squeak and the sudden weight on your shoulder paused you mid-rant. You glanced to the side and smiled softly, raising a finger to rub the tiny horn on your fluffy companion’s head. “Sorry, Biyoo. I was just thinking about something. Don’t worry about it.” You reassured the dokkaebi. If the system wasn’t telling you to get out of town, then Biyoo is another reason.

She had just hatched out of her egg when you found her in a dungeon. Her species were powerful for a C-Rank dungeon, mischievous and possessed immense magical power. You didn’t know why, but you couldn't force yourself to kill this baby after the strike squad wiped out her entire family to get to the boss. She imprinted on you too as her mother, and newborn dokkaebi would not last a day on their own without someone to look after them.

So if anyone found out that you have been hiding and raising a magical beast without the Association’s knowledge, there would be a lot of trouble. She was still a tiny thing, a puff of soft white fur and tiny arms with pink paws.

Combined with a curiosity of everything around her and a cuddle-bug? How could you not love her? 

You turned to look around again at the empty space, sadness gnawing in your bones. You’ve done what you could. There’s nothing else here in Seoul for you. Oh. Right. What about Unbreakable Faith? Where did you put your sword? Back in the inventory? Or is it by the master bedroom? No, that wasn’t it. You don’t remember it being there. Ah, right. You gave it to Sung Jin-woo when his own blade broke, back when he was still an E-Rank Hunter and you were keeping an eye on him as per the requirements of the system’s scenarios.  Weapons were not cheap, and even if it cost someone millions of won, there’s no guarantee that it’ll hold up in a dungeon based on quality and ranking. When his blades kept breaking, you decided to loan him your sword and never asked it back nor accepted the return, even after all the trouble you went through to get it. Besides, he’s the protagonist. He’ll get more use out of Unbreakable Faith than you will, or trade it or can lend it to his shadow soldiers to boost their aggro skills. Whatever will help him in the end.  Your new blade is Persephone’s Wrath. Weird name, but the stats were solid and worth it after spending so many coins on it in the system’s shop. 

By now, Jin-Woo should be with his mother and sister, enjoying some family time with them before the tragedy of Jeju Island will happen. Afterwards, he will be recognized by the world as an extremely powerful S-Rank Hunter despite the criticism aimed at him or the Association’s incompetence as to why this powerful Hunter hadn’t been added to the raid roster. He deserves it. That will probably be the last time he’ll get any peace and quiet or feel like a normal person before he is dragged into the war between the Monarchs and the Rulers. After all, he’s Ashborn’s vessel. 

Ping. The scenario’s screen appeared in front of you again. On the bottom was a single sentence and the sound of a timer ticking in your ear.  Countdown to the conclusion of the scenario: 00:03:59:45

Ha. No time to be reminiscent. You needed to get on the road, and fast. At least the safe house wasn’t too far of a drive. After ushering Biyoo to go inside your coat pocket and promising her to give her a treat if she was a good girl, you walked out of the condo with the last box in your hands. 

Ha, why couldn’t you disappear after that car hit you in the intersection instead of being resurrected with a system? That would have been easier than following these bizarre scenarios and paying a goddamned survival fee every day.

Let’s meet again, Sung Jin-Woo. You thought, smiling sadly as you inserted the key into the ignition of your vehicle and kept driving, never looking back and thinking about what to do next now that you’re officially retired from hunting.

One Shot

No one else But you - [Nanami Kento x Reader September One-Shot Genre: AU, Romance, Angst, Fluff]

Status: The request box is open only for the monthly one-shot voting if the characters are chosen.

Euphonious Series

Summary: (AU) In a world of ABO, you've always thought you were an alpha, high above others.

However, encountering your fated pair, proves you otherwise.

Add to that, your fated pair, whose grey eyes that always seem to see through you and black hair that always tries to entice your hand to run through it. You found out you were an omega through the heat he caused.

You couldn't help but curse the gods in every possible way as you tried your hardest not to kneel and beg your junior in school to claim and ravage you, whose name was Sung Jinwoo.

Disclaimer: I don’t own anything except for my characters and plot.

Warning/Genre: OOC, Romance, fluff, high school life, gender neutral (Sorry for the miss grammar)

Chapter 1 - Meeting

In your current society, you have your first gender.

A female and a male.

However, once you reach a certain age, you are tested to differentiate for your second gender.

A Beta, which the majority are categorized.

Next is the minority that experiences heat, an Omega.

And then where success is guaranteed, the Alpha.

You have always thought your life is set.

Born into an affluent family, number one in studies and sports, a good enough appearance and a dominant but nonchalant personality.

You and everyone have obviously thought you were an alpha.

Or so you thought as you met those grey eyes of a boy, named Sung Jinwoo.

It had been an average day for you.

Waking up and getting ready for school, listening to your teacher as they teach their subject.

Doing your duties as a student council president and catching your schoolmates who were slacking and skipping school.

Punishing them or dragging their asses back if they defy you.

It was a normal routine for you however what made that day different from others was meeting him.

Your fated pair.

You had just finished all the necessary paperwork and meetings as the student council president and were on your way home when you saw a group of students harassing some middle schoolers.

Stopping in your tracks, you saw that some of them were from your school while the others were from schools that were close to your area.

Observing the group of high school students, you couldn't help but notice that they seemed to be part of the same friend group, as there were no conflicts between them. Instead, they were bullying some middle school students.

You sigh as you shake your head.

Such a bunch of brats.

Seeing that they have already beaten a few middle school students and are about to harass them again, you step in without hesitation and call out to them.

The students who wore similar uniforms as yours stiffened once they heard and saw you.

They have been the same junior students you have always dragged back to school from skipping classes.

They were either in some arcade or in some brawls with other delinquents from another school, in which case resulted in you facing both parties.

Neither did you take sides as you beat them.

In the end, you would contact the other school's student council president, who happened to be one of your childhood friends, to inform them about your schoolmates and what happened.

Afterwards, you would finally escort your own schoolmates' beat-up assess back to your school infirmary.

That was how it usually plays.

And since they have crossed paths with you a few times already, they have seen what you're capable of and have unconsciously ingrained your presence in their minds.

They knew they were in trouble.

However, the other students from a different school were unaware of their dilemma, nor did they know you.

And so, seeing you leisurely walking up to them, they immediately put their attention on you and abandoned their previous targets at once.

Oblivious to the danger they're putting themselves into.

Arrogant in their stance, clearly the one leading them was an alpha.

You sigh once again, deciding to finish this quickly. Since you were eager to go home and were quite looking forward to the dessert that your mother had bought from abroad.

The thought almost makes you salivate.

"What this? Trying to be a hero now aren't you?" The alpha taunted as he strode over to you, smirking as his lackeys trailed behind him and slowly circled you.

Eyeing you up, it was clear he was sizing you as he instinctive knew you were an alpha.

You two were almost the same height however you clearly towered him by a few inches.

Showing an indifferent attitude and not answering his taunt, he faltered as you gave him a cold stare.

Embarrassed by showing weakness and intimidated by another alpha, he hid it by sneering at you and barking again at your classmates.

"Hey! What the fuck are you doing?! Get your asses here!" He shouted, his voice showing traces of agitation. This affected his lackeys as their earlier confidence faltered as well.

Looking at their other friends, they were confused as they remained rooted in their place.

Their faces paled, body trembling and sweat dripping down from their forehead. Hesitant, they gave a small shake of their head, their eyes showing undeniable fear.

Annoyed, the alpha was once again about to shout when suddenly a presence loomed over him and a cold voice interrupted.

"I'll advise you to leave if you don't want yourself embarrassed and beaten up by the end of the day, kid."

It was your voice.

Calm and deep, sending shivers down their spines as they felt authority dripping off it.

The alpha and his group paled instantly. Something inside them, especially the leader in their group instinctively told them this student was dangerous and someone not to be messed with.

However, an alpha is an alpha. They weren't one to be bent over nor ordered around so easily.

And because of this and due to his arrogant pride, the alpha kid faced you with a sneer and defiantly challenged you.

"Fuck you."

"..."

The surroundings fell silent, and the atmosphere immediately grew colder than it used to. A heavy feeling washed over everyone watching the two and they felt a foreboding sense creep up their spine.

You, however, just gave a small cold laugh before dropping your bag. Your eyes narrowed darkly.

Not long after, sounds of screams and agonizing cries echoed in the park while your schoolmates and the group of middle school students watched in horror as you beat them with ease but not without mercy.

Instructing your schoolmates to drag their friends' asses to their school infirmary, you told them that their student presidents, whom you have informed already, were waiting for them at the school entrance.

They knew that if they didn't show up, this president of theirs would hound them no matter where they were. Because of this, you didn't worry if they ran away.

As for your schoolmates, they already know to show up the next day if they want to keep their balls alive.

Watching them limp away, you finally let out a breath and pick up your school bag, satisfied that everything was almost over.

However, glancing over to the side and seeing the group of young students all bruised and battered, you sigh inwardly.

You made a mental note to have those bastards write up a thousand-word apology and assign them chores around campus as punishment.

Walking over to the group of middle schoolers, you asked them if they were alright.

"Yes, senior. Thank you so much for your help!" One of the kids replied while the others nodded with a bit of enthusiasm.

Looking over their battered faces while a smile was on their lips and their eyes shining as they looked at you, you couldn't help but worry and apologize to them on behalf of your schoolmates as their school president.

Throughout the exchange, one particular student was silent and kept his distance from you however you didn't blame him. If you were him, you would also be wary, especially after what they have been through before you came.

You may have saved them, but there's no guarantee you won't do the same as what those previous people did.

Though you felt his eyes lock onto you, you didn't know whether it was hostility or something else. Just that you couldn't ignore how intense his gaze was as he watched you.

Deciding to let it go, you took out a card from your pocket and gave it to them, advising them to visit the clinic if they ever experienced any signs of discomfort.

It was one of the clinics your cousin works at.

Given the number of students you frequently handled in such cases, your cousin already suspected it was you who sent them whenever students arrived at their clinic with bruises on their bodies.

Your cousin scolds you because of it.

You simply shrugged and responded that it at least contributed to the business. No matter how you deal with these troublemakers—whether through a gentle approach or not—if they still refuse to listen, they need to learn the hard way.

It was that or nothing.

You explained and your cousin could only accept defeat as deep down he knew that kids your age are hard to disciple.

As the students bowed in gratitude, you noticed the admiration in their eyes as they stared at you.

Not used to such gazes, you cough and avoid their eyes. Instead, you immediately urged them to go home as the sky slowly turned dark.

Inwardly, you hope they won't turn out like you, as you know you are barely crossing the line when it comes to disciplining such unruly schoolmates of yours.

Bowing their heads once more, they said goodbye and walked away, eager to head home while chatting happily.

You sigh again and lift your hand to brush your hair, glad that everything's finally over.

As they turned the corner, you were about to leave when suddenly there were hurried footsteps behind you. You felt a hand grab your shirt tightly, stopping you in your tracks.

That's when you heard them, stammering with a soft and warm voice, calling out to you pleadingly as you turned your head.

Your eyes locked with grey-coloured ones.

It was the boy from earlier who was watching you so intensely.

He has soft black hair with bangs that brush against his lashes. He also reaches your shoulders in height and has a lean build.

Clearly, the boy was growing and showing a distinct trait of an alpha.

However, it wasn't those physical traits that shocked you, it was his scent. A scent so endearing your body reacted in ways you never experienced before.

You felt your body heat up, your hands trembling and your breath laboured as you continued to lock eyes with the boy.

His scent enveloped you, intoxicating and enticing, making you crave something you knew was wrong.

Slowly, dread fills you as realizations hit you all at once.

You cursed.

"Fuck."

A/n: Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed it! Their age will be explained as the story goes and don't worry there won't be inappropriate ages or such.

Please leave a comment on what you think! Thank you!

The request are open? If it's can you write about Sabo x noble/celestial dragon!Reader or Katakuri x Maid! Reader?

I'm sorry. I'm currently not taking any request.

Hello, could you please make a Yamamoto Takeshi x reader Sawada fanfic? Reader Sawada was assigned to a long-term assignment as a prime minister's secretary. He reported less and less until he decided not to do it anymore. 5 years later Yamamoto Takeshi was assigned to contact her and, if necessary, return her to Japan at any cost. Great was his surprise when he found her seeing her accompanied by a small boy of about 4 years old identical to him. Why did she turn pale when she saw him? Why did she escape from him? What happened that last night they saw each other? I will send you a gift as a gift Could you please tell me if you accept my request please?

Hello,

I'm very sorry but I would like to decline your request because I'm currently going for surgery on my arm. I don't think I'll be able to write as much as usual and with the busy season coming up at work, I'll not be able to fulfill your request.

It will probably be a long while before I can write again, as my schedule is quite unpredictable right now. And I'll be only posting scheduled fics that I've already written for the next month or so that I'm off. So I'm really sorry!😓😭

However, I'll make an announcement once I'm available and back to writing once everything has calmed down. You're more than welcome to send a request again after.

I'm really sorry😭and thank you for taking the time to send a request.
