"Cutie, I'm starting to like you" What started off as an unexpected guest gradually became so much more. Darren Chu is under house arrest and fretting with a desire to win his case when a man came knocking on his door for a place to stay. “Cutie, I got this. What do you take me for?” Timothee William is flirty, shameless, and sexy. He’s got this laid back aura and mouth-watering winks but a trashy mouth. It definitely didn't help that he was full of hot curses and mind-bending, lust-raising, sexy tattoos that obscure Darren’s view from what he should be really worrying about. When it came to the day he has to choose, he was torn and yet he was moved. A character for a character. A man for a man. A challenge for a challenge. A love for hate and a prince for a prince. Will Darren be able to overcome things thrown in his way? Or will he find comfort in someone he did not expect?

My grandfather was a tattoo artist, but he specialized in tattooing sinister designs. Tattooing, an ancient art, has flowed silently through the ages. In ancient times it was called "mo" (墨, ink), referred to in classical texts as "ni" (涅) - the process of embedding ink beneath the skin's surface with needles to create permanent patterns. For over 2,000 years in China, people have adorned their bodies with auspicious floral tattoos for blessings and spiritual protection. But there exists another kind of tattoo - one intertwined with the occult and dark arts. These are said to possess mysterious powers: warding off evil, changing fortunes, attracting wealth, enhancing romance, and ensuring safety. The world knows them as the Tattoos of Gods and Ghosts. Around these enigmatic yin-yang tattoos begins a thrilling tale brimming with vivid stories. What hidden secrets and forbidden knowledge lie concealed within? Where will these dark designs lead their bearers...

Ryo died in the most pathetic way possible: run over by a Prius right after bombing a job interview. And as if that wasn’t humiliating enough, he reincarnates in a fantasy world… with a broken compass hanging from his neck. Yes, you read that right: no legendary swords, no hidden magic, no auto-generated waifus. Just a talking compass with a mind of its own that changes direction whenever it feels like it. Today it points to a sacred temple? Tomorrow, a ruined tavern infested with alcoholic slimes? The day after? Who knows. Not even the compass seems sure. But as he runs from flaming wolves, argues with recycled bandits, and unlocks skills with names like "Courage I: now you scream with more dignity," Ryo starts to suspect this ridiculous compass might hold the key to returning home… Or to something much worse: becoming a real hero. A light novel packed with magic, absurd humor, questionable decisions, and a protagonist who never asked to be here (but is definitely going to complain about everything anyway).
