Knot me on ice, Captain(BL) - Chapter 148: Rhoda

Aizel has been depressed since he was a young man. From being tormented in school to being treated as an outcast solely because he is an antisocial person, the only things that kept him going were novels, manga, piano, and sword practice.He never anticipated being transferred to another world while drunk by the side of a lake under the moon. The world with mana is filled with superpowers, magic, and monsters, and he is unsure whether he is dreaming or not.Only to discover later that he possesses a power that may be called the most deadliest thing he could have ever imagined, but with limitations and drawbacks...“All of the kingdoms, magic, and everything about Xelgar fascinate me. But what Alora said makes me very curious.”“I knew I could easily use sword skills, fire skills, and techniques because I had seen and read so many anime and novels. I still can't believe that there is now a unique power as well.”“Is it true that I possess the power of imagination, as Alora claims? Isn't that a little overpowering? However, I was still unable to use some techniques and skills in the fights. The power has a disadvantage and a limitation.”“Is that because of my cracked core? If I can somehow recover it, will I be able to do anything just by imagining?”

“Stop following me!” Asher yelled, his patience running thin. He had let it slide for too long because she had done a lot for him. But now she was everywhere, suffocating him.“I’m only trying to protect you,” she responded.Asher sighed, running a hand through his hair. “I need some space, alright? I can take care of myself.”She didn’t budge, and just kept staring at him with that same obsessive look, like she had no intention of leaving.“Is it because you’re strong now? Are you going to leave me because I'm no use to you anymore?” Her voice had turned cold, sharp enough to cut through the silence.“Of course not, you know that’s not the reason…”“Then why do you want me to stop following you?”“I’m just going to the restroom, for God’s sake!” He massaged his temple, clearly at his wit’s end.“Oh, you should have said that earlier.” She giggled, the earlier tension melting away.“I did,” he sighed in defeat.

Introvert!? Me!? The hell am I an introvert? I stay indoors all day because I am afraid of getting my butt kicked.Until I contract my beast, I won’t be walking freely. This is a promise I made to myself.My name is Ryder, and I am black-marked. The planet where I live is dominated by summoners. If you guessed it, then you are right—we contract beasts from the Astral Shadow Plain and summon them at will after successfully forming a contract.A mark appears on the left shoulder of every human after a period of maturity, a mark given by the beast that chooses you. There are five different types of marks—the brown, the orange, the red, the black, and lastly, the white.Of all the markings, I was marked black. I was chosen by a supreme demon monarch of the Astral Shadow Plain—the Dracogon.There was only a 0.5 percent chance for me to survive the contraction process. However, with a slight twist in the original outcome, contracting a creature from the black-marked plain was nothing compared to the catastrophe I caused shortly after—I opened a link between the beasts of the Astral Shadow Plain and the planet of humans, Terra.Everyone on my planet has been endangered because of me. The fact that no one knows when the link will trigger and cause a breach that pours mindless creatures into my world makes it all the more unsettling.Now, with no other choice, I have to find a way to resolve the mistake I made—alone, just like I caused it.

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!”Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem:Ruining female characters.In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own.When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters.But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service.In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses.He never expected the universe to take him at his word.Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class.⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme?
