In a world where 80% of children awaken a unique power at a young age, society as a whole classifies individuals according to their gifts, from Mediocre to World-Class. The powerful are revered. The powerless, forgotten. Ushiro Yamato, abandoned at birth for his lack of power, grew up in the shadows. Mocked, ignored, nicknamed "the one who stays behind," he never displayed the slightest spark of energy. But he never stopped moving forward. At the age of 11, he was allowed to participate in the Great Selection, a national test where even those without gifts can prove their worth. During an expedition into a thousand-year-old forest, he discovered an ancient circle, a sacred sword, and a forgotten prophecy. By binding his old training sword to this divine weapon, Ushiro activated a unique power: elemental duality.

Voices that should not exist have begun to speak. A woman is reborn from an ancient painting, singing of a love sealed away for centuries. A man turns the resentment of a living sacrifice into destruction that consumes his own people. A god offers a final prayer to keep a demon bound— and never answers again. A soul awakens inside a machine, asking questions no machine should ask. Something from beyond this world arrives on Earth, not to interfere, but to observe. And I hear them. This is not a single story. It is a record. A series of encounters that appear unrelated, taking place within ordinary lives and familiar spaces. Each one alters my understanding of life, death, and the boundary between them. I record these events not to explain them, but because pretending they do not exist is no longer possible.

There’s just one problem—these nine male beasts either want to dissolve the match, ignore her, or try to swindle her wealth. Fed up, Rory decides to break all the matches and wait for a better batch. Then, suddenly, her mates come groveling for her attention, offering her all the power, riches, and status they possess. What kind of beastly magic is this?!

Reincarnating into the Naruto world was lucky—living in Konoha, even more so. But luck ran out when I failed my jōnin-sensei’s test and got dumped in the Genin Corps.

Humanity didn’t fall in a single night. No one remembers when it truly happened. The world is ruled by the Percepians — a species that treats life as fuel and survival as law. Humans are preserved, not protected. Raised, counted, harvested. Inside Gosuka, you are not allowed to live freely. You are not allowed to die either. Cael Noland was never meant to survive. Born from a failed experiment meant to turn humans into something more useful, he grew up alone in a world that had already decided he had no value. He learned early that survival has no morality. That freedom is just a word people use to endure chains. That humans and monsters are separated only by perspective. Now Percepia is weakening. Resources are thinning. And something far larger than rebellion has already begun. Between a boy who wants to save someone, a ruler who values knowledge above existence, and a survivor who wants the universe to go silent— The question is no longer who will win. The question is what deserves to exist at all.

One Empire fallen. Five Kings rising. One Prince to unite them all. For generations, the Hurbala Empire was the golden heart of the world, a bastion of peace held together by the wisdom of King Hudal. But in a single night of fire and betrayal, the sun sets on the old world. King Hudal is slain, the legendary Queen Hasha is spirited away in chains to the distant Sunspire Fortress, and the crown—the symbol of absolute unity—is shattered into five jagged shards. Into the smoking ruins steps Basyar, a prince crowned too soon, inheriting nothing but a broken throne and a kingdom surrounded by wolves. As the empire splinters into rival realms, Basyar must embark on a desperate odyssey across a world transformed by war: The Shadowhold Forests: Where he must outwit King Zin Baraji in a deadly game of guerrilla ambushes and jungle duels. The Zuelda Marshes: Where the "Chem-King" Vectlar unleashes poisoned rivers and terrifying siege engines, testing Basyar’s endurance to the breaking point. The Asvalte Mountains: Where he must lead his people against armored war elephants in narrow, frozen passes. The Yilmaz Coast: Where the final trial awaits—a naval war against the "Eastern Tide" to reclaim his mother and his heritage. Basyar does not march alone. At his side stand the Ten Pillars of the Crown—an ensemble of legendary specialists, from the silent clawed assassin Faradee to the iron-willed shield-bearer Hujeena. Together, they must prove that wars are won not just by the edge of a blade, but through the brilliance of strategy, the weight of diplomacy, and the unbreakable bonds of loyalty. In a world where betrayal is the only currency and every ally hides a dagger, Basyar must learn what it truly means to lead. To save his mother and avenge his father, he must do the impossible: convince his enemies to follow him. The journey leads to Broken Crown Hill, where the blood of five nations will decide the future. Will the crown be ground into dust, or will Basyar reforge it into something stronger than it ever was before?

With every torment, he drew nearer to who and what he really was. Until one day, when the seal broke. And the cosmos discovered what occurs when you renounce a divinity.
