When the boy cursed with ebony hair known as the Darkened (Son), Malo Liefos, recently lost his mother and is now at risk to being sold to slavery by the merchant family that took his family in, he tries to take the easy way out and climb the nearest mountain on a cold blizzard night, hoping to meet his mother once more in the afterlife. Instead, however, he meets the 'Evil' Black Dragon, Zalithas, who was found sealed in the mountain by the country's hero from many years ago. After being set free, Zalithas offers Malo a wish as thanks, and the thing he wished for is ... for her to be his wife?

Now, with the all powerful Dragon taking on the role as the Darkened's wife, she helps him gain great power that he thought he didn't have because of the curse, and promises train him in how to properly harness it. With the Darkened promising to protect his new wife in exchange, will he change the fate of his kingdom to be one with peace as its hero? Or will he make the kingdom who despised his kind as the Darkened, into one he leads as its new king to conquer all who challenge him? With the powers of his Unique Skill: [Essence of Tainted Conquest], allowing him to take skills from Artifacts and inherit copies of skills from the women he's bedded with while making them his lovers, it's hard to say!

A hardcore, faithful, battle-hungry MMA fighter had come to an unfortunate death from a severe food allergy. Sometime later, though, he's reincarnated into a new world, summoned by an old Fallen Arch Bishop who was seeking a successor. The former fighter had reborn into a child with new a body and looks that has the potential to make him a total lady-killer. Add into the Blessings and magic granted to him, he takes the role as the old man's successor and grandson with his new name, Owen Falto, as he devotes his new life to train and become the strongest paladin with a wife and family to raise. With his new looks, it may be easy, but will he attract the wrong woman that could ruin his new life?

Even putting that aside, though, there's one major problem: Owen might be too violent to be your run-of-the-mill paladin, but will his unorthodox battle junkie way of living be just the thing to serve as the people's guiding light to a better future?

College student, Grant Hazee, has been living his life with the mindset of a 'side character', a person who watches over the main protagonist on the side and gives them the right push when needed while keeping himself in the background. Due to this, he hasn't stand out much, other than being that guy who conveniently stands next to the person of interest. Even when he accidentally discovered his classmate's, Kimiko Uchikase's, secret identity as the magical girl who has recently been on the scene, Sapphire Stardust, Grant wasn't going to get involved and keep it to himself. It wasn't until he got caught that Kimiko confronts him, but instead of the worst-case scenario Grant anticipated, he winds up being her confidant, learning that this 'magical girl' was actually an alien from somewhere far in the galaxy. Will Grant's 'side character' life still continue with this sudden position brought to him, or will it become something more?

*This reboot is a much slower burn harem story than the original, but with tons more suggestive/erotic content happening while the MC is still in his baby phase (he has no direct involvement during the more explicit scenes over the course of this phase, so no need to worry about anything too dangerous happening). Because of the drastic change, this will serve more as a pilot to test the waters on how you guys receive it. I'll be leaving a link to a survey at the end of the table of contents, so please take a few minutes answer once you've gone through it all and tell me what you think.*

 An American IT with a passion for magic and fantasy died on his 39th birthday as a virgin due to a stab to the gut while protecting a coworker of his. He might as well died a 'Wizard' that needed one more year to become a 'Sage.'

 Then, like in recent isekais, he was reincarnated in a new world as Soar Osmis with memories of his past life intact. This new magical world of Manara is where everyone has a chance to become an aspiring Magician, be blessed with powers by forming contracts with fairies as Chaperone and Companion, and special abilities called 'gifts,' and it just so happened that Soar was given the 'Wizard' gift at birth.

 Thus, began the mostly slice-of-life harem isekai story of a man reincarnated in a world centering around the very thing he loved: magic, as he trained and used the knowledge from his past life to carve a path to a new one on his own terms while growing as a 'Great Sage.'

 Some RPG game mechanics applied with a growing OP MC with humans and demi-humans as love interests. Profanity and little gory violence is included, characters in explicit sex scenes are at or above the legal age (MC won't have such scenes until his new body is around that age). All non-human characters have the intelligence and maturity to give consent. Some scenes include yuri (F X F).
