When Lyra awakens in a city cloaked in shadows, a stranger’s touch binds her to a fate she never imagined. Powers she doesn’t understand surge through her, and unseen enemies lurk in every alley.

The stranger who saved her life is mysterious, powerful, and dangerously alluring. But his intentions are unclear. As her abilities grow, Lyra attracts both loyal allies and ruthless enemies, including a secret society hunting superhumans. Romance, betrayal, and unexpected alliances collide in a deadly game of power and survival. Every choice could either destroy her—or make her unstoppable.

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

“So I can summon Heroines and Villainesses, but I just have to create them myself? Seems easy enough!” Max lived for one thing and one thing only: a good story. Novels were the only escape in his mundane life. However, all the light novels and manhwas he read had the same problem: Ruining female characters. In all these novels, the powerful heroines and terrifying villainesses were always reduced to one-dimensional trophies obsessed with the MC. They had no goals or purpose of their own. When Max discovered Awakener Supreme, he thought it would be different. It started out promising; a dark fantasy, detailed, consistent world building, a complex magic system and interesting characters. But everything went downhill pretty fast. To please the fans, the dark tone vanished, and the fierce female cast was reduced to shallow fan service. In a burst of anger, Max confronted the lead writer, criticizing him for ruining female characters, and claiming he could do a much better job at creating heroines and villainesses. He never expected the universe to take him at his word. Max suddenly wakes up inside the world of Awakener Supreme, and was given the chance to back up what he had claimed in the form of a unique class. ⸢ You have awakened your Class ⸥ ⸢ Class: Architect - You can create heroines and villainesses and make them your Summons ⸥ ⸢ Class Group: Summoner ⸥ Was Max all talk? Or can he truly create more powerful and consistent heroines and villainesses to help him survive the grim world of Awakener Supreme?

IMPORTANT WARNING: I’m putting this here before the synopsis, so if anyone complains that this novel is “too slow” because I go into details, episode by episode, that’s on you for not reading the disclaimers. While I welcome constructive criticism to improve my work, I do not tolerate hate or entitlement. Here, we only spread dark humor and delightfully deranged ideas. If your humor tolerance or attention span is low, fragile, or on life support—please skip this book. Seriously, for your own peace. This story is packed with jokes, chaos, unapologetic fun, and nonsense. It will absolutely annoy you if you don’t vibe with that. Read at your own risk. Side effects may include laughter, nostalgia, headaches, irritability, and an extreme level of patience. Thank you mwa! •••• Lucinda Delos Santos spent her childhood obsessed with Smallville: rooting for Clark, swooning over Lana, and secretly sympathizing with a brooding Lex Luthor...until the DVDs ran out and her favorite story ended… prematurely. Years later, during a torrential rainstorm and a questionable internet binge, a bolt of lightning gives her more than a wet hair day—but there’s no way things were going to end like that—how else would I get to write and utterly, gloriously wreck the DC universe? Suddenly, Lucinda’s fangirl fantasies collide with reality. She has no idea how she got there, can barely stop gawking at Lex's smirk, and is definitely not asking the right questions. Now she faces a cosmic dilemma: Will she step into the spotlight as Clark Kent’s new leading lady, or attempt the impossible—taming Lex Luthor before he ruins Clark and Lana’s perfect love story? Either way, Lucinda’s life just became the ultimate crossover episode… with herself as the star. ••• Again, please read the IMPORTANT WARNING carefully, because I swear next time, I’m either gonna cry, go full healock on haters, or both. I have plans for this fanfic. If you want it to follow your plot, you can write it yourself. Thanks again mwa!

In the world of talents and superpowers, people awaken a talent varying by ranks around the age of fifteen. Some get their powers early during happy moments, while others unlock them during life-threatening situations. A few unlucky people never awaken any talent at all and become complete outsiders. Solomon awakened exactly on his fifteenth birthday. He received an incredibly rare SSS-rank talent and became famous all over the world. However, three years passed with him trying to figure out his power, but no one could help him understand how to use it. The public quickly turned on him and gave him the nickname 'Strongest Loser'. No guild, corporation, or organization wanted to recruit him despite being an SSS-rank talent holder. One day, when he was on his way home after getting rejected by the last guild in the city, a beggar came to him asking for money. He randomly helped the old beggar, who gave him a dirty paper in return. It was an invitation to the Live Streaming Academy, where only the chosen ones with an invitation could ever enroll. He thought that joining the academy might help him finally be able to use his talent. With no other choice left, Solomon decided to go there and test his luck. That single choice turned Solomon into a legend. He became the most feared for generations to come, and even when centuries passed, no one dared to say his name out loud, and he was only referred to as 'the one who shall not be named'. *** For Every 200 Power Stones = 1 Extra chapter.

Jayce’s bedroom door was slightly ajar. Just enough to wreck my world. I opened it, and time shattered into a thousand brittle shards, each one sharper than the next. There, nestled between the sheets we’d shared chaste kisses between us on during movie nights, lay Jayce. My Jayce. His perfectly sculpted back muscles flexing, his hands gripping... "Oh, God Jayce please right there don't stop—" The voice sent bile up my throat. Scarlett. My stepsister Scarlett, her long auburn hair spread across Jayce’s pillows, and her nails perfectly manicured, raked down his back as he pounded against her in a way I’d never seen him show me. Her legs were slicked around his waist, and the little designer dress she’d shared at breakfast this morning was lying on the bedroom floor with his clothes. "Feels so much better than her." Jayce groaned, sounding as if he had a mouthful of pleasure. "Brook's so... So boring. But you, Scarlett … damn, you’re amazing.” And the words hit me like blows.
