Pokémon: The Reemployment of the Retired Champion of Paldea

AbsoluteCode
A year after transmigrating, Lucas Blade, forced by circumstances to become a trainer, accidentally passed the Champion Exam. Immediately afterward, he announced his retirement on the spot, stating that, having once suffered through the 996 grind, he now just wanted a leisurely and peaceful life. However, just as he invested a huge sum to buy land and planned to build his farm, his long-delayed golden finger (cheat ability) finally arrived. At this time, the Tera orb had not yet been developed, and Sada/Turo had not yet become completely obsessed with the research of Area Zero... On one hand, there’s a special hint system in his chat group secretly helping him grow stronger; on the other, there’s the increasingly bizarre farm, thanks to the random appearances of strange people and Pokémon. On top of that, he still has to deal with the various students with different personalities at Naranja Academy, where he works... From that moment on, Lucas’ peaceful life began to stir with new waves. PS: The setting of this book combines anime and games, with some original elements. The golden finger (cheat ability) is relatively low-key.] Tags: Pokémon, slice of life, making up for regrets, relaxing, heart warming novel

Reborn as the Last van Ambrose

Elias "Grim" Kingsley, a nine-year-old orphan with a hardened heart and sharp tongue, dies alone from pneumonia in an overcrowded orphanage. Known for his perpetual scowl and biting remarks, he's labeled a "problem child" by caretakers and "damaged goods" by potential adopters. Years of rejection have built thick armor around his young heart. In death, he encounters the God of Balance who offers him a second chance at life in a different world—this time as Grim Van Ambrose, son of a noble house. Balance explains that every soul deserves to know love and connection, something Elias was cruelly denied in his first life. Promised the family and belonging he never experienced, Grim begins his new life only to suffer an immediate tragedy: his mother dies moments after his birth. This cruel twist of fate reinforces his belief that loss is inevitable, leaving him with a distant father and the mysterious voice of a "Guidance Assistant" in his head. As Grim grows into his new identity, he struggles with his dual nature—the emotional scars of his past life bleeding into his present one. His difficult personality and sharp tongue remain, now paired with noble privilege and expectations. Despite his outward brashness, he carries the deep wounds of his first life and the fresh loss that welcomed him into his second. What begins as one orphan's second chance evolves into an epic journey through a world of ancient beasts, elemental magic, and deadly political intrigue. As Grim uncovers the truth about the Ambrose Clan's fall from grace and the conspiracy that framed them for treason, he faces increasingly dangerous adversaries—both human and monstrous. His quest for revenge against those who destroyed his family's legacy will challenge him to master forbidden techniques, forge unexpected alliances, and ultimately decide whether to rebuild the Ambrose Clan as it was, or transform it into something entirely new. In a realm where power determines survival and ancient secrets lurk beneath noble facades, Grim must learn that sometimes the greatest battles aren't fought with swords, but with the choices that define who we truly are.

[Sexual Content and lemons warning] This novel has smut but is not smut focused. It has Plot and story, developing relationships. Though it may feel a bit slow in the beginning it will pace up soon. No NTR. 18+ ----------------------------- With her sitting on me, I could feel her thighs, so soft and I didn't want her off of me but this was not the time for that. “I wouldn't betray you like this Jennifer, you know this” I said, shifting my gaze from her thighs to her eyes. “You were with Renn all along.” She said as she drew a blade to my neck. “You can't tell me you don't have a hand in this” At that moment, there was nothing I could say to please the beast who had me in chokehold. I just laid there and prayed for a miracle. —------------------------- In a world where every player controls five versatile avatars, Contrario Williams is cursed with just one avatar.
