The Mysterious Smile

Time Magazine once gave this review of a man: "Mr. Yang is a great inventor. The products he created changed how hundreds of millions live, work, and travel." "At the same time, his inventions created millions of jobs and made outstanding contributions to regional economies." ... Never would he have imagined—Yang Wendong, already a successful entrepreneur, would accidentally travel back to the 1950s. Given a second chance, he would once again rise from nothing, climb to the peak of this era, and build a century-spanning Chinese family empire.

This is an Unoffical Chinese translated novel Author: Hua Fei ( 画飞 ) Translator: Doyenro(for fun) ---------- Su Yan has been reborn. In his previous life, he was obsessed with all things depressing—anime, novels, dramas—you name it. Now, in this world, his job is… a freshly hired newbie screenwriter who just went full-time at a TV station. At first, people thought he must’ve gone through a bad breakup or something to be writing such heart-wrenching stories. But later… Reporter: “Mr. Su Yan, would you say you’re naturally dark-minded? Do you enjoy destroying the beautiful things you create in your stories just to make your fans cry in despair?” Su Yan: “Absolutely not. I’m a 100% mentally stable, sunshine-filled guy who was born with the ability to love.” In reality... Su Yan silently looked at the skills he unlocked by harvesting his fans’ emotional breakdowns— Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu Swordsmanship, Flute Mastery, Violin Mastery, Piano Mastery, Natural Charisma... and so on. He fell into silence. “It’s not my fault. The system made me do it!” The vibe of this story? Think live-action adaptations of emotional gut-punch anime like: Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal, Your Lie in April, Scum’s Wish, Air, Clannad, Madoka Magica, Three Questions About the End, Violet Evergarden, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, Angel Beats!... Maybe even some story-driven games like To the Moon turned into scripts.

Asül El has nothing much. He lives a shabby life with his grandmother, in an impoverished village where he hunts large frogs for food and income. Everything changes when he fights a beast to save her and discovers his superior speed—something only high-end trained hunters master at its base form,and never go beyond it. A gift that has not been granted to anyone for the past 600 years. His speed makes him a target for higher demons. In the chaos, he loses his grandmother. When he later attempts to communicate with her after death, he goes against divine law: no tampering with the undead and as punishment, he is cursed to slowly decay from the inside out. But he is given a way out . Train as an elite demon hunter. Master higher levels of Godspeed. Only then will he outrun the decay—and perhaps even death itself. The line between imminent death and immortality is thin and Asül must cross it while facing demons and divinities who bar his path, all while trying to save a world on the brink of invasion from demons and beasts.

"In a world where heroes' fates are written with strictness, what happens when the 'system' decides you're just a technical glitch?" The "system" is supposed to grant heroes power, glory, and a predetermined path to victory. But for [Simo], the truth was entirely different. Instead of mythical blessings, he woke up trapped in a software "glitch" that broke all the known laws of the world. While everyone else walks according to the prewritten "heroic script", [Simo] has the ability to see cracks in reality, bend rules, and access forbidden areas humans shouldn't touch. But this digital rebellion comes at a price; the world doesn't accept mistakes, and the "Observers" have already started hunting the glitch that threatens to collapse the entire narrative. Will he manage to rewrite his own fate, or will he be "deleted" from existence?

On a quiet night, beneath a rain that wouldn’t stop— he found her. Lying there. Small. Fragile. As if she might disappear at any moment. He didn’t understand why… but he couldn’t leave her behind. In a small room, far from everything, their days begin. There are no grand reasons. No clear answers. Just silence… small moments… and a distance that slowly begins to fade. And before either of them realizes it— something gentle, something warm… begins to take shape.

Sakumo Hatake taught me swordsmanship in the backyard. He hides money in the flowerbeds. He can't win an argument against mom to save his life. He does this stupid thing where he pretends to be a strict father and it never works. In another life I watched this man put a blade through his own chest because the village he loved decided he wasn't worth defending. I have lightning running through every cell in my body. I have memories of a future that hasn't happened yet. And I have a very short list of things I will not allow. His name is at the top of it.
