At the Beginning, I Put a Green Hat on Verlaine

He transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old boy. Asou Akiya’s new parents were dead, he had no ties, no burdens, no way back; the original owner had left him nothing but a precarious foothold as the lowliest grunt in Yokohama’s most notorious port organization. For an ordinary human without a single ability, simply staying alive was set to nightmare difficulty. No golden finger from the heavens? Then he would forge his own. Four years later. Destiny finally handed him its greatest turning point. After a cataclysmic explosion rocked the city, Asou Akiya, with meticulous calculation and trembling hands, rescued a breathtaking French beauty who had lost all memory. The man had been betrayed, abandoned, left fragile and shivering in the cold; yet beneath that porcelain vulnerability burned a soul of blinding brilliance and combat prowess that touched the very ceiling of this world. “…Who… am I?” “You are a romantic French poet, Rimbaud.” “A poet?” “Yes,” Akiya whispered, voice steady as scripture, “and you are the love of my life.” From that moment, Asou Akiya placed him upon the apex of his heart and spoiled him rotten. He soothed every wound with tenderness, watered the tender shoots of love with carefully tended lies, and watched them bloom. So what if memory returned one day? He had already seized the most priceless treasure in the world. Thank you, Verlaine! The partner you were willing to discard is now my wife. 【Asou Akiya × Rimbaud (French name: Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud)】 {Mon âme éternelle, Observe ton voeu Malgré la nuit seule Et le jour en feu.} O my eternal soul, Hold fast to desire In spite of the night And the day on fire. — From A Season in Hell, Rimbaud

Reborn as the Apocalypse: My Divine Harem and The Omega Exchange

I am not a god. I am the Cycle of Destruction and Rebirth itself. In the previous eon, I was betrayed. The women I trusted—my so-called soulmates—stabbed me in the back, forcing my destructive laws to go berserk and wipe out an entire civilization. Now, I’ve awakened in a modern world where Aetheric energy is just returning. I am weak, my memories are fractured, and the apocalyptic toxin inside me is threatening to tear this new era apart. My only anchor? The Omega Exchange, an ancient entity bound to my soul, hiding in the shadows of the world's most hypocritical faction: The Divine Temple. To survive and reclaim my cosmic throne, I must balance two paths: Flesh to suppress the Destruction. Soul to ignite the Rebirth. In my eyes, the women of this world are no longer equals. They are divided into a strict, unforgiving hierarchy: 1. Fuel (The Contaminated): Fake saints and worthless parasites. Good for nothing but raw energy to be ruthlessly burned and consumed by the Exchange. 2. Vessels (The Release): Beautiful, but lacking true essence. Their only purpose is to absorb my violent urges and satisfy my primal lust. No attachments. No mercy. 3. Spirit-Rhyme (The Resonant): Rare, brilliant souls that resonate with the abyss. They are my eyes in the shadows, my branded priestesses. I conquer their minds and shatter their sanity long before I ever claim their flesh. 4. Apex-Tier (The True Origins): The flawless, singular few. Bearers of the universe's ultimate laws. Only they are worthy of absolute possession, my protection, and ruling the ashes of the next era by my side. This time, I will not be deceived by fake affection or holy masks. I will solve the mysteries of this recovering world, unmask the traitors hiding in the Divine Temple, and violently take back what is mine. Those who submit will reign. Those who deceive me will be reduced to dust. ======= Thank you to all our readers for your incredible support!
