Lurops: God of the Broken Wave

In 1954, a nuclear blast went off in the Pacific. It didn’t kill the creature sleeping in the deep trench below. It woke him up. When he rose from the ocean, he wasn’t just an animal anymore. He was something bigger — a massive blue giant, shaped like a bell, with a mind that could think and wait and remember. He had already died once. He knew it wasn’t the end of everything. People didn’t know what to call him. The news called him a monster. Scientists gave him a long, strange name: RERUNBACKTOKAIJU. The kids who lived through the wreckage called him Lurops. He destroyed cities. He was burned by acid. He came back. Smarter. Stronger. Somehow, he even learned to surf. Over the next seventy years, he faced things no one could have imagined: a nightmare from the deep that ate living genes, a shining hero robot built from grief and bad guesses, a machine that slowly became the closest thing he had to a friend, a son who hatched without warning on a dark beach, and a terrible weapon made from his own mother’s bones. People tried to give him a role. Hero. Guardian. Monster. Savior. He refused them all. “I’m not yours,” he would say. “I’m just here. The waves are good. That’s enough.” But it was never just about the waves. It was about staying. About choosing not to end everything. About living in a world that hurt him — and not walking away from it. It was never simple. It was always more. LUROPS is a five-arc kaiju epic about destruction, inheritance, the stubbornness of survival, and whether a creature built by catastrophe can choose, with full knowledge of what it costs, to become something else.

My School Life As a Figuran

​"Beautiful..." Reina whispered. She took off her coat, letting the mountain breeze sweep against her white dress. ​I stood a few steps behind her, watching how the white petals fell and got caught in her black hair. In this place, with no one watching, Reina didn't look like "The Princess" or the perfect "President." She looked... fragile. Like the petals she was staring at. ​"Izumi," she called out without turning around. "Do you ever wonder... what if we had never entered that room? What if you had never agreed to work on those stupid fliers?" ​"I’d probably be a very successful unemployed person by now," I answered. "And you’d probably still be the most feared person in school, yet the loneliest person in your own world." ​Reina turned around. Her eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made me want to look away, but I forced myself to stay still. ​"The world out there is so noisy right now because of that video," she said. "Everyone has an opinion about us. They all feel like they own us. But here... under this tree, no one owns us but ourselves." ​She took a step closer. One step. Two steps. We were now only inches apart. ​"Tell me," she whispered, her voice nearly swallowed by the wind. "Who is Nakamura Izumi to Kurokawa Reina, when there are no cameras recording?" ​Love. ​The word felt foreign on my tongue. It felt too "shiny" and disgusting for someone like me. ​But, her silhouette under that white cherry blossom tree... the weight of her head on my shoulder... the way she looked at me when no cameras were watching... ​It all kept replaying in my head like a broken film that refused to die. ​My mind was spinning. I swallowed hard, looking into her eyes which reflected the shadow of the evening sky. I paused for a moment, then took a deep breath. "For me, you are..."

Picking Up Attributes In Martial World

A top assassin dies after killing his own boss, and instead of staying dead like he should, he wakes up in a cultivation world that feels like it came straight out of every cliché he’s ever heard about. Broken meridians, bullied by clan members who look down on him, a father who gave up on him for a younger brother with better talent, and an engagement annulled with a beauty… or maybe not that trope. Nothing special. Just unlucky. When he finally decides to leave the clan and find his own path, he discovers something strange about himself. People drop attributes while doing things, and for some reason, only he can see and interact with them. A cultivator repeatedly tempering his body leaves behind things like— [Strength +6] [Stamina Recovery +8] [Body Tempering Progress +5%] An alchemist wasting herbs and ruining pills over and over drops— [Alchemy Talent (Low)] [Herb Identification +15] [Pill Stability +7] A swordsman practicing the same technique until his hands go numb drops— [Sword Muscle Memory +9] [Blade Intent Fragment] [Combat Awareness +4] And when someone dies, the drops become even more ridiculous— [Strength +321] [Death ×3] [Physique Fragment: Jade Bone] [Incomplete Cultivation Insight] All of it can be picked up by him. He doesn’t need cultivation talent, bloodlines, or a master’s guidance, because while others spend years training, comprehending, and risking their lives for small improvements, he collects everything they leave behind, whether it’s stats, techniques, talents, physiques, or even professions. In a martial world where effort, talent, and luck decide how far you can go, his path is simple. Let others work. He’ll take the results.
