The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

I Just Want to Farm, But My Beasts Keep Evolving!!

All Raiden wanted to do was to farm quietly. After dying in his old world and waking up in the body of a freshly graduated nobody in a world full of monsters that are bigger than the tallest skyscrapers, Raiden made a quick, sensible decision: avoid danger at all costs. Forget becoming a battle master and monster-infested frontiers, he's taking his little sister Silvia and retiring to their inherited farm to raise sheep. Peaceful, profitable, and most importantly, safe. His master plan? Buy the cheapest Woolie in the market, shear its wool, and live off the profits. Simple, right? What could go wrong? Wrong. The moment he brought his adorable sheep, his cheat system activated, letting him appraise and improve the potential of his beasts. A few enhancements later, his Woolie is producing luxury wool that has fashion designers losing their minds. And unlike other sheep, this one loved to train and battle, maybe a little too much. "It's fine," Raiden assured himself. "It's just a sheep. A very profitable sheep." Then it evolves. And keeps evolving. And suddenly his "harmless farm animal" is creating thunderclouds that can destroy a whole continent. He thought the problem was only with his sheep; the rest of the Terra beasts would be peaceful. The real problem, though? Every Terran he rescues thinks the same way: "Master is so kind! He doesn't force us to battle! We must train extra hard to protect him!" Now his dairy cows have abs. His sheep are practising martial arts at dawn. And his Woolie, his supposedly peaceful, wool-producing Woolie, is challenging wild Terrans to duels while he chucks pills to control his Blood Pressure in the background. Meanwhile, his genius little sister is landing scholarships left and right, his former classmates keep visiting to gawk at his "impossible" success, and the Continental Alliance won't stop sending him tournament invitations he desperately wants to decline. All Raiden wants is to farm in peace, pay off his debts, and maybe—maybe—survive long enough to see Silvia graduate. Is that really too much to ask? Apparently, yes.

Magical Girls Shall Not Perish in Cyber-Social democratic Europe

By 2035, the European Community, perpetually governed by the Socialist Party, had basked in this brave new world for over a decade—the American Civil War had dissolved the nation, Japan's empire had crumbled, yet Europe alone, eternal, resplendent, social, and egalitarian, still stood at the centre of this fractured world following the great Euro-Soviet reconciliation! From the Treuhandanstalt of the so-called new federal states of East Germany, whose very existence had been erased, to the Soviet petrochemical industry of the former USSR, now stripped of the golden glow of the Brezhnev era; from the Sykast network in central Paris, where the boundaries between virtual and reality dissolved, to the modern feudal green enclave of the Bosnian agro-industrial complex in Yugoslavia. European Community enterprises served their duty under the banner of social democracy, while the social market economy maintained equitable societal functioning through the performance-driven dynamics of competition... "You'll all be eating ze bugs! Deceiving into believed you possess everything, yet you'll have nothing but the pacifiers doled out to you within the metaverse!" "The European Free Trade Area was a misguided initiative erroneously launched by Gorbachev and exploited by Rezhkov, possessing no progressive significance whatsoever. Through the corrective measures implemented by Comrades Yeltsin and Chubais, the Union of Soviet Sovereign States and labour collectives represented by the Soviet Oil Industry successfully secured the capacity to safeguard their interests within the European Community..." Bang! "Well said, I couldn't agree more!" Magical Girl Amina wiped the bloodstains from her pistol on her bustle, innocently raising her hands as the television behind her broadcast the final words of the European Community. ...Therefore, on principle, the European Community formally ceased to exist as a political entity."
