Lucid wakes up in a strange purple forest that feels like a dream. He remembers everything, but his face is hidden behind a mask and his body is covered in torn rags. Lucid knows he is not a hero. He was abandoned in a dying world and called a coward by the people he once fought beside. Now, a voice named Alice speaks from within his own mind. It is just as lost as he is and cannot remember its own past, but it is filled with a hope he lacks. Alice guides him forward, and as they journey through broken worlds, it might be the only one who can help him find the answers he needs and his only way of home

He doesn’t start in East Blue—he starts on Laugh Tale. Roger laughs at the bold kid who shouts he’ll turn the world upside down… then realizes he just took another monster aboard. Name: Aos. Raw strength beyond giant standards. Innate awakened Observation. Rapid grasp of armament wrapping. Black long gun across his back; seastone rounds along his belt. He dissects: haki forms, gun paths, sword lines, body frames. High EQ gets him accepted; relentless grinding keeps him rising. With Shanks and Buggy he forges lifelong rivalry—never a background follower. Combat tags in play: Observation kill shots Advanced Armament bind Seastone round control “Don’t Move” style ability lock targeting fruit users No harem. No female lead. Not a Straw Hat tag‑along line. Much later, on a calm sea day, the Going Merry meets an uninvited figure. A black gun. A living legend. “Want to know what One Piece is? I can tell you.”

Sixteen-year-old Kai has given up. After his family moves to a new city, he loses his friends, his confidence, and his will to connect. He's the invisible kid at school, drowning in loneliness and convinced this is just his life now. Then he hears a sound he's never noticed before—the sharp thwack of a shuttlecock. Through a gymnasium door, he watches two kids his age laughing and rallying, missing half their shots but having the time of their lives. One of them, a cheerful girl named Maya, waves him inside. "Wanna try?" What starts as a clumsy attempt to kill time becomes something Kai never expected: a reason to look forward to tomorrow. With Maya, the goofy but loyal Leo, and the quietly intense Ren, Kai discovers a sport that demands everything—his focus, his body, his heart. But badminton doesn't just ask for effort. It asks for trust. It asks for vulnerability. And as Kai rises from a complete beginner to a competitor worth watching, he'll have to decide if he's ready to stop running from his pain and start fighting for something. The shuttlecock travels 493 kilometers per hour at its fastest. But sometimes, the slowest rallies change your life forever. A story about friendship, second chances, and the beautiful brutality of growing up.

He once cracked systems and rewrote fates with a keyboard. Now he bends the laws of magic with his will. After dying in a world of concrete and code, Siegfried Fors awakens in one of steel and sorcery, a realm ruled by bloodlines, where power is inherited, and miracles can kill. He died trying to save others. Now he’s fated to do it again. To some, he’s a prodigy. To others, a curse waiting to unfold. Because sometimes, salvation isn’t granted… it’s hacked from the hands of gods.

Five hundred years ago, the world decided the Hydro Archon Egeria was dead. She wasn’t. Now, under the name Lora, she walks Teyvat again with a single objective: to overturn the future that was forced onto her people. The Heavenly Principles wrote a prophecy. Fontaine is meant to drown. The gods are meant to obey. Lora doesn’t. Every move matters. Archons, the Abyss, Celestia—everyone is playing their part, all trying to control the board. And Lora? She’s already placing her pieces. Passing the throne to Focalors was only the opening move. Because this time, she isn’t fighting fate head-on— she’s playing for checkmate. No chosen-one nonsense. Just a former god who intends to win—before the heavens realize the game is already lost.

The greatest enemy of mankind, an Arch Deofol that reads a future like a book, read it to a vain noble, Rotsard Vallhall. The story was about a great hero who would save their world, but in that story, Rotsard was only a third-rate, stepping-stone villain who died in shame within two years. After finishing, the Arch Deofol mocked Rotsard. If he changes the main points of the story and saves himself, mankind is doomed. If he chooses to save mankind and not interfere, his own life, his very soul, will be forfeit in the most pitiful and shameful way. What it wanted to do was to throw Rotsard into despair that would sweeten his soul, the Arch Deofol would then devour. What it didn't account for, was how spiteful the young noble was.

An unknown cosmic phenomenon is causing the Sun to lose mass at an alarming rate, gradually forcing Earth into a widening, fatal orbit. As temperatures plummet, an unforgiving winter engulfs the planet’s surface. Ecosystems collapse, countless species vanish, food chains disintegrate, and human life expectancy declines under the strain of famine and cold. In a desperate bid for survival, governments initiate genetic enhancement programs to engineer individuals capable of enduring the extreme climate. What begins as a noble scientific endeavor is soon corrupted by war, political collapse, and moral decay. In their desperation, humanity creates beings with blood so unnaturally hot it can evaporate moisture on contact, creatures who dare to call themselves human. Yet these engineered survivors carry a catastrophic flaw. Neural instability in certain subjects gives rise to a severe condition known as Gnosis: a perceptual distortion that reshapes reality itself. To them, the world becomes flesh. Snow resembles layers of fat, walls pulse like living hearts, and every leaf hangs heavy with veins and sinew. The grotesque becomes beautiful: the beautiful becomes grotesque. The cold did not merely freeze the world outside, it froze the human heart as well.

Elias Kane is the undisputed top operative of the Trash Trope Intervention Division, a covert agency that exists to dismantle the most outrageously toxic, over-the-top romance plots by seducing and systematically dismantling the worst offenders. He's left a trail of broken egos so long that the list of women he's ruined could wrap around a luxury skyscraper. Retirement was finally within reach—one last mission to close out his legendary career. Then the division decided his finale deserved "nightmare difficulty." This world is a glittering matriarchy where women command absolute power: they own the corporations, dictate the laws, and treat breathtakingly beautiful young men as prized possessions—sponsored, displayed, traded, and discarded when the novelty fades. Every target Elias faces here is a virtuoso of manipulation, capable of switching from velvet tenderness to razor cruelty in the blink of an eye. The flip risk is catastrophic. One wrong move and he's not just out—he's obliterated. Elias stared at the mission brief for a long moment. Then he shrugged. Fine. If they're raising the stakes, he'll raise them higher. He's going to make every last queen crawl before he's done collecting his pension. So tell me, sweetheart— Are you willing to be my good little dog? You only get to answer "Yes" or "Woof."

Kim is nobody special — and that's exactly the problem. An eleven-year-old Academy student in Konoha with a dead father, a medic mother pulling double shifts, two sisters who need raising, and a scar that reminds him the world doesn't wait for you to be ready. When fragmented dreams of another world reveal that this one is heading toward war, gods, and extinction-level events, Kim does what any reasonable person would do: he looks for a loophole. He finds one. The Synchronization Jutsu — a self-developed technique that lets him passively resonate with the chakra of those around him — turns proximity into power. Classmates become unwitting tutors. Bloodline traits leave traces in his system. Every hour spent near stronger ninja pushes him further, faster, in ways the world's rigid clan hierarchies were never designed to allow. But growth attracts attention. The Academy's new top student catches the eye of Root, Danzo's shadow organization, and Kim finds himself walking a razor's edge — training under ANBU operatives by afternoon, teaching his sisters kata by evening, and pretending to be ordinary in between. Armed with pragmatism, a talent for teaching, an embarrassing crush on a weapons shopkeeper, and a moral compass that bends but refuses to break, Kim navigates a village that smiles in the sunlight and schemes in the dark. The clock is ticking. The war is coming. And an unremarkable boy with a remarkable secret is building something no one sees coming — not from the top down, but from the middle out. He's not a genius. He's not a prodigy. He's just paying very close attention.
