Corrupted Bonds

GuideverseSimp
In a world torn apart by rifts that release dangerous monsters, Espers—humans imbued with powerful abilities—serve as humanity's last line of defense. But the power of an Esper comes with a price. Overuse of their abilities leads to dangerous corruption, a force that can destroy them from the inside out. This is where Guides come in: individuals with the unique ability to calm the corruption within Espers and restore their balance. Rowan Mercer, an S-class Guide, is one of the best in his field, capable of stabilizing even the most dangerous Espers. He has worked quietly behind the scenes, helping those in need, but his life takes a dramatic turn when he is called to work with Lucian Vaughn, an S-class Esper whose immense power and unstable corruption levels make him a dangerous threat to himself and others. Lucian, a tall, stoic, and enigmatic figure, has long fought against the growing corruption within him. At first, his relationship with Rowan is purely professional—Rowan as his Guide, helping him to stay in control. However, as their interactions grow more frequent, their bond deepens in ways neither expected. What started as a simple duty soon turns into a complex relationship where power, trust, and vulnerability collide. As the world around them faces escalating threats from rifts, Rowan and Lucian must navigate not only their personal challenges but also the dangerous world of Espers and Guides. Their bond will be tested as they fight together against the corrupting forces that threaten them both. In Corrupted Bonds, survival isn’t just about battling monsters from the rifts—it's about fighting the darkness within themselves and finding a way to stay connected in a world that’s constantly pulling them apart.

Spy × Family: The Perfect Spy/Dad System

He was once a ghost in the machine—an elite mercenary, whispered of in war zones and buried in redacted files. Cold, efficient, unkillable. Until he died. A bullet to the brain. Fade to black. Then he woke up. Not in a grave. Not in hell. But in the pristine body of a man named Loid Forger. A name that meant nothing to him—until a voice echoed in his head: [Welcome to the Perfect Spy and Family Man System.] Objective: Create the Ideal Family. Maintain World Peace. Bake Perfect Fluffy Pancakes. Penalty for Failure: [System Lock & Neural Degeneration]. Have a nice day! Thrust into the world of Spy x Family, the former mercenary finds himself trapped in the skin of Westalis' top intelligence agent, just as Operation Strix begins. But unlike the original Loid, he carries no memories of this place—only his honed instincts, a sardonic wit, and the AI system integrated deep in his brain. To survive, he must balance high-stakes espionage with laughably bizarre family missions, all while hiding the fact that he’s not the real Loid. His cold logic clashes with the warmth of Yor, a deadly assassin with secrets of her own, and Anya, a psychic child who—strangely—can’t read him at all. As missions escalate from “Make a Bento with Love” to “Infiltrate an Assassin Gala Disguised as a PTA Meeting,” he’s forced to question everything: his past, his identity, and the family he never asked for… but might be willing to die for. Or live for.

Sigrid's eyes trailed down, to the silver blade pressed against her abdomen, she raised her head and laughed snidely. "A knife to the belly of your wife as soon as you return from war, other men start by saying, honey i am home. They also don't bring home unwanted canaries as presents for their wives." Roland leaned down with a part smug and part angry smoldering look in his eyes. It was if he wished to set her on fire, and not in the passionate way. "Honey i am home." he slowly said, dragging the words out. Sigrid trailed the knife slowly over his neck, almost as if she was caressing it with her fingers. "Welcome back, i hope you don't mind but i intend to kill that canary. If you want to bring me a gift next time, try gold and diamonds. I can also accept you, just wrap a ribbon around your bare chest."
