And one giant excuse!
Sitting on her living room floor, Cassie was about to tape the third box she had been wrapping, she leaned over to hold the paper while she reached for the tape. She was about to get it when there was a knock at her door. She groaned and let go of the wrapping paper, "Bro people stay knocking on my door…" Cassie opened her door and found several chocolate boxes stacked on top of each other in front of her door; from what she could see it looked like eight. She took them into her home and shut her door.
"Who are these from?" She looked all over the boxes trying to find a card or any indication of who this was from. She got tired of that quickly and just decided to open it; she opened the first box and found that it was just regular milk chocolate, dark chocolate and white chocolate. Then she went to the second box and noticed that it was a brand she didn't recognize. "This stuff looks really fancy." She decided to look it up and search the name on the box.
When she did, she could nearly gasp at the price of it.
"A hundred and thirty-six dollars! Do they not see how small this box is?" She went to the rest of them and searched the brand names and found that either it was from a foreign place or if it was local it was the most expensive in that area.
With the very last box, she found there was a letter inside of the plastic. She opened it and read the contents of the letter aloud.

"It doesn't matter if you like this or not, but at the very least you get to brag that somebody bought you expensive chocolate, from Akuma." Cassie found herself at a loss, both for the expensiveness of the chocolate as well as the concept that Akuma seemed to just like to spend money for no reason. “I'm eating this for sure, but he has to really calm down with all this." She huffed and shut her door as she resumed wrapping up her presents.

The Exiled Villainess Returns
(Please heed the warnings above before reading) Reborn into the beautiful but deadly world of Ethetia, she comes to a sudden awareness that she is now Livia Katrina Valentine, a character of a game of a reverse harem she once played on Earth called Aster Academy: The Feuding Houses. But this revelation comes a bit too late. You see, Livia wasn't just anyone. She was not given the anonymity of being a background character, or even the blessing of being the heroine. Instead, she has bestowed the role of being the atrocious villainess. And that is exactly what she had been. As a result, Livia triggers her own death flag event at her debutante. Her memories of her past life have the grace to come only minutes before she is accused of poisoning the heroine, Amelia. But all is not helpless. Via last-minute intervention, Livia successfully manages to avoid having her head decapitated. Being exiled was a small price to pay for retaining a pulse. Plus, at least this way, Livia can finally start to live her life, to become more than just a cruel folly. Her exile should have been a new but unusual beginning to her story. But pitiless reality comes knocking. Ethetia had once only been a background setting in a game. A pretty and still picture that mostly went disregarded as the even prettier characters on the screen unloaded their dialogue, but now, it was Livia's world. As real and wonderous as planet Earth once had been, filled with small creatures with their own wills, ambitions, and needs. Such one creature decides that exile was not enough of a penalty. That Livia, the bullish and jealous tormentor of the heroine, deserves a fate more befitting of her past deeds. One worst than death. Livia's fate is ripped out of her hands. She is forced into a collar, sold to an empire rotten with greed, and placed inside a harem where she is expected to wither and die from the inside out. But Livia refuses to be forgotten. Burning with a deep rage against those who only wish to see her fall into her own grave, Livia makes a twisted promise to herself. A promise that pushes her through the darkest moments of her life and brings to light a newfound power rooted deep inside her. So keen to discard her as the villain she has once been, the little creatures in their own ignorance brought forth something they could never dream to fathom. A beacon of darkness.

Cheaters Always Win
Chester Everheart knew that life wasn't fair. Some were born in situations where it was almost impossible to succeed, whereas others were born with a silver spoon with everything at their disposal. A scant few were dropped into another world, filled with monsters and magic and forced to fend for themselves. The latter was a rare, somewhat ridiculous trope; but it happened to him anyway. Despite this he followed a motto that applied regardless of the dimension he was in. Playing fair is for suckers, and cheaters always win. Cheaters Always Win is a comedy-adventure that I've had churning in my head for a couple years now. I'd like to think it still has the charm that most LitRPGs have while also being unique in its own way. Every arc of the story will subsequently have a 'Level Complete' chapter that details all the stats, levels, equipment, etc. gained by the main cast of characters.
