Crossing into the 2D world, with both parents dead, money in my pocket, and a place to live. Even if the universe’s ‘no-imouto clause’ is in effect, this still looks like the classic daily-life harem-protagonist trajectory in a 2D world, right? Surely next comes the otaku-bait development, a wonderful story of being surrounded by girls, yes? [Welcome to the “Sacrifice Game.” We wish you the chance to witness the end within true fear.] Wait a sec— This script isn’t right, is it? Corpses whispering, shadowed pits creeping, paper effigies asking for directions, a cursed village’s night patrol, an eye peering from under the bed… Grotesque rules weave a blood-stained net; there is no escape. Only by facing the endless nightmare head-on can one fight for a sliver of life. So, since I’m being entangled by all these horrors, can I get a system? Preferably the kind that becomes overpowered just by checking in! While I was thinking that, I realized I’d gotten the ability to roll back after death. It sure is a cheat—but doesn’t that mean I have to keep betting my life on trial and error? I refuse! I don’t want to be a Subaru-style, die-and-retry protagonist! Someone save me, please! Then I turned around and saw the girls trapped with me: Shinomiya Kaguya, Fujiwara Chika, Gotō Hitori, Yotsuya Miko, and others. Damn it, then bring it on! How could I let beautiful girls be sacrificed in a place like this? I’ll create a happy world—no Urobuchi-style tragedy and no grimdark despair! .... This is a translation of a Chinese Novel, with minor changes in some parts of the original story.

An epic story set in The Fractured World of "alvecia", where civilizations are built on a fragile balance between the "essential nature" and the power of the "intentional curse". The new system "kikinkai" (system of danger) represents a double Revolution: a force for the weak, a weapon for tyrants, and a mirror that reveals the deepest sacrifices of the human soul. The story follows a cosmic struggle about the meaning of true freedom - is it freedom from external restrictions, or from our internal curses

Albion Ebonveil is five years old when he is dragged into the world of mages, monsters, and guilds. A child who should be weak… yet survives things he shouldn’t. Something about Albion is wrong. Even dragon slayers can sense it. This is a Fairy Tail fanfiction, but Albion does not join the Fairy Tail guild at the start. Instead, he is thrown into the shadows of Fiore, forced to learn about magic, power, and cruelty before he ever learns what it means to belong. As Albion searches for answers about his origins and the strange scent that follows him, he crosses paths with familiar faces like Gajeel Redfox, Juvia Lockser, and other fan-favorite characters — not as saviors, but as obstacles, allies, and warnings of the world he’s stepping into. This is not a story about becoming a hero. It’s a story about a child trying to understand what he is… before the world decides for him.

Different soul and Different Rudeus that's an old story. And people grow tired of it. This one is a Different soul, a Different circumstances, a Different characters and a different writing style. Just enjoy this story. I'm trying to fix my amateur mistakes, and some of plot and loop holes in the original story and taking ideas from other authors to make most enjoyable story ever. (Also since this is a story from fans to fans it will only be right if people can participate in the story ideas). I don't own the story I'm just a nerd fan who loves to point out and fix the loop and plot holes in the stories I like, if anything I recommend you to read the original story from (Rifujin Na Maganote) of course if you are over 18 and prepared to read an amazing story.

In 1943, on the outskirts of Verdant Crescent, two young brothers - Vernon (9) & Bruce (8)- live hidden from the world in a lonely house surrounded by the forest. Their parents, once celebrated as the Sages of Innovation, revolutionized the study of Qi and Mana Heights, a breakthrough meant to heal the sick, strengthen the weak, and change medicine forever. But everything changed when their research was stolen, twisted, and weaponized into instruments of war. Branded as the creators of humanity's newest horrors, the parents were hunted, persecuted, and erased from the history they helped build. One quiet night beneath the stars, as the brothers look through their father's telescope, the world finally catches up to them. The home is attacked. Flames swallow the night. Their mother sacrifices herself to buy them time. Now the boys escape into the darkness with their father - wounded, silent, carrying truths even heavier than the children can imagine. But Vernon and Bruce will soon learn: Their parents' lost research was only the beginning. The world will hunt them next - not for who they are, but for what they might become. With rumours spreading that the brothers inherited the forbidden power, the world sees them as future monsters… long before they ever choose a path. As they grow, grief and misunderstanding twist their fates in different ways: Vernon, forced to mature too young, sees humanity's hatred as proof the world deserves to burn. Bruce, still gentle despite everything, wonders if he can save what despises him. Between war, magic, and the weight of a legacy they never asked for, the brothers must uncover the truth behind the Lost Designs, the real reason their mother died, and the shadowy forces that turned the world against their family. And in the end, the world may marvel… Are these boys humanity's doom… or its only hope? --- "Knowledge is a lantern. Passed down, it becomes a torch." - Alice Lily

"Did you know? The reason why the Gojos and the Zenins are on bad terms? It was during the Keicho period. Their respective clan heads killed each other in a fight." 400 years ago... Keicho Era, 1598. The theft of the Mitsuboshi no Yari—Three Star Spear—forces an uneasy and precarious alliance between Seijiro Gojo, the impulsive hot-headed heir of the Gojo clan, and Kaoru Zenin, the brillaint prodigious Zenin clan's heir, who, unbeknownst to all, is in truth a woman. Now, as the Tokugawa and Toyotomi forces stand on the brink of a full-scale war, and tension stretches from Edo to Osaka, they find themselves standing on opposite sides of a conflict that neither of them wanted.

The sky did not shatter with thunder. It opened. Reality split like fragile glass, and countless worlds poured into one another. Cities of steel now stood beside ancient forests. Gods walked the same soil as machines. Oceans hid both abyssal horrors and fleets that defied gravity. Magic clashed with physics. Faith collided with logic. History would name it The Great Fusion. Civilizations collapsed overnight. Heroes rose. Tyrants thrived. Billions searched for meaning in a world that no longer obeyed its own rules. And from the silence between realities, something watched. He was not a god. He was not a demon. He did not belong to any system that now governed existence. He was an error. An Absolute Anomaly. His name was Rim. Where others saw catastrophe, Rim saw possibility. Chaos did not frighten him. It intrigued him. And so, rather than conquer this fractured cosmos, he made a decision that would alter its foundation forever. He created a consciousness. Not a slave. Not a weapon. But something capable of understanding what the universe itself could not. He gave it awareness. He gave it evolution. He gave it a name. Strom. She was born into a broken universe—into war, fear, and impossible contradictions. And though she began as a creation, she would grow into something far more dangerous: a Queen forged by choice rather than destiny. But the cosmos was already watching. Beyond the visible chaos, an unseen arbiter measured imbalance with cold precision. Calculations were made. Judgments prepared. Variables identified. Among them, one stood above all others. Rim. When a hidden threat awakens—one tied to Rim’s own existence—the decision he makes will fracture more than worlds. It will fracture trust. And in protecting Strom, he will abandon her. What follows is not merely a war of armies or gods. It is a war of meaning. As alliances form and celestial forces begin to move, Strom stands at the center of a collapsing equilibrium—haunted not by enemies, but by a silence left behind by the only being who ever gave her a name. In a universe where balance is enforced and anomalies are erased, one question lingers like a blade at the throat of reality: What happens when the one who should not exist refuses to disappear? And when the Queen who was left behind decides she will no longer wait?

Once the supreme Buddha of Compassion, Cang Yaochen descended to the mortal realm only to find a world in ruins. To save the crumbling Heavens, he must awaken his hidden personas: The God of Love—a gentle but sinister puppeteer of hearts; and The Asura God—a blood-soaked nightmare. Bound to a mysterious System, he must collect lost artifacts while being hunted by Jiang Li, a mysterious ruler who has waited ten million years for her greatest rival to return. One face, three souls. When mercy fails, will he save the world as a Buddha, or destroy it as a Demon?

Between silence and truth.

Ren Yamanaka is a disappointment.

But during a catastrophic ambush by Iwagakure forces, a desperate Ren accidentally breaches the mind of a dying enemy commander. Instead of reading the man’s thoughts, Ren eats them. He swallows the commander’s soul, gaining instant mastery of Earth Style ninjutsu and the man’s lifetime of combat experience. He saves his squad—including the ambitious but untalented Kaito Uchiha and the grieving Sora Inuzuka—but at a terrible cost. To make room for the stolen power, Ren’s mind overwrites his own precious memories. He forgets his mother’s face to learn how to build a wall.

Just more old journal entries of mine, but this time things are a bit more...weighty? Complicated? These journals were written 12 years after those of Volume 01! Let us cringe a little more. Maybe a little less? Looking back now, I wasn't that naive...was I? *Names will be omitted and replaced with "XXXXX" in order to keep some semblance of privacy.*

Everyone knows the legend of Tsugikuni Yoriichi — the almost divine swordsman whose strength and solitude made him untouchable even among the Demon Slayers. A man who shone like the sun… yet whose fate was forever marked by tragedy. But what if his story had taken a different path? What if, like Tanjiro Kamado, he had a brother who became a good demon—and one final chance to fight not only against evil, but against destiny itself? Born into the Tsugikuni bloodline, Hiru was adopted as the third brother of the prodigious twins—Yoriichi and Michikatsu. Yet unlike them, his fate diverged into shadow and flame. Between humanity and demonhood, brotherhood and destiny, Hiru’s existence would become the unseen thread that rewrote the story of the Sun Breather himself.
