​"Existence is not a right. It is a prize for those clever enough to steal it." ​Elias Vane is a dead man walking—literally. After surviving a fatal plunge into starlight-tinted waters, he returns to a city that no longer recognizes his face. He is suffering from Ontological Dissolution: a cosmic glitch where the universe is slowly "editing" him out of reality. In a world where memory is the only currency and the sky is divided into seven layers of forgotten history, Elias is forty-three percent real and declining fast. ​To survive, Elias must commit the ultimate sin: sign a Contract of Bifurcation. To keep his edges sharp, he must anchor his existence to a version of himself from a parallel reality, slowly siphoning the "solidity" of a man who hasn't yet realized he’s becoming a ghost. ​Driven by a desperate refusal to fade, Elias is drawn into the Council of Reflected Shadows—a cabal of outcasts who trade in stolen certainties and forbidden truths. Alongside a thief of time, a cartographer of erased places, and a void that used to be a human, Elias must navigate the District of Perpetual Mourning and uncover the secrets of the Great Erasure—a cataclysm that wiped a millennium of human history from the collective mind. ​In a reality that is unmaking itself, Elias Vane will learn that the only way to stay real is to become the very thing the universe fears most.

In a world where every person is born with a unique skill, the ultimate goal is to nurture that skill until they attain God-level power. ​Characters are officially ranked from weakest to strongest using the following hierarchy: ​Level D ​Level C ​Level B ​Level A ​Level S ​Legendary ​Every individual begins at Level D from birth and gradually climbs upwards. However, on extremely rare occasions, an individual can be born with Level C stats, a phenomenon so rare that only five such births have ever been recorded in history. ​The stat ranges correspond to these levels: D 10 to 90 C 100 to 990 B 1,000 to 9,999 A 10,000 to 99,000 S 99,000+ to 100,000 Those who surpass the absolute limit of their innate skill ascend to the Legendary rank. These individuals achieve the ultimate expression of their power by creating a Soul Palace—a personal realm or domain unique to their perfected skill. ​Though a Level S figure poses a significant threat to an entire planet, the power of the Legendary far eclipses this, cementing their status as true Gods. Only fourteen Legendary figures are known to exist across the world, each one said to possess the capability to destroy the universe. ​The story begins with a child named Leon. From the moment of his birth, Leon was an anomaly, possessing a stat reading that simply displayed: NULL. ​In this world, only those who own a stat reading can perceive it, or through the use of a specially designed reading machine. Every machine registered his stats as "NULL," leading the administration to conclude his power was simply too low to register. But Leon knew the truth: he was the only one who could see his genuine, baffling stats. ​Adding to the mystery, Leon could also see a woman dressed in a maid uniform. She was only visible to him—unless he specifically willed her to be seen by another. She attends to all his desires and needs, her existence a complete mystery to him. While she holds the answers to his origins, she is forbidden from revealing them. ​While everyone else is obsessed with the climb—leveling up and advancing their skill,Leon is obsessed with self-discovery. He needs to understand why he is different, why he is the only anomaly in a world built on quantifiable power. ​"Who am I, and what the hell is this stat?" Leon muttered, staring at the midnight sky from his window, the enigmatic maid standing silently behind him. ​Note to the reader: If you're into fantasy, high-stakes powers, mysterious leveling systems, and a main character unlocking a hidden destiny, this is the story for you.

Is It Wrong to Wake Up as Myself in Orario? A DanMachi fanfic DON'T READ IT IF YOU EXPECT HEAREM AND FUCKUNG SCENES ONLY. I was supposed to land in Japan. Economy seat. Window side. Educational trip on paper—maid cafés in my head. I’d even joked that if the DanMachi world were real, the Hostess of Fertility would put any café to shame. Mama Mia energy. No contest. Then the sky screamed. Metal buckled. Alarms howled. A flash—too bright, too wrong. Truck-kun? In the air? I laughed once, stupidly, and then— Ding. That should’ve been the end. I woke up on cold stone. No hospital. No wreckage. Just towering walls, morning light spilling down narrow streets, and a city breathing around me—vendors shouting, boots on cobblestone, the distant clang of bells. Orario. Not reincarnated. Not reborn. Me. Same thoughts. Same memories. Same hunger. A silver bell rang nearby. I turned—and there he was. Bell Cranel passed me at a run, white hair flashing, eyes bright with a courage that made my chest ache. The world moved around him, like it wanted him to succeed. An orphan on a scholarship back home. An extra here. Or so I thought. That night, a falna burned into my back like destiny deciding it had waited long enough. Strength answered when I reached. Luck followed when I moved. Floors fell. Monsters did not. Weeks later, whispers followed me through the streets of Orario. A nobody who climbed too fast. An outsider who survived too much. Bell ran ahead, chasing his dream. I followed— not to replace him, not to steal his encounters— but to live them. And if fate had dragged me here, then this time, I would answer it on my feet.

Where am I ? Who am I ? There’s a faint metallic smell. My body feels sticky. I try to think, but nothing comes back. No name nor face. My body moves, but something feels wrong. It's like it isn’t mine. Everything around me feels unfamiliar, the more I look, the less I understand. I need to find out what happened.

In the Monster Hunter world, he hunts side by side with Pokémon. In the Pokémon world, he raises Elder Dragons. After all—why should your next Pokémon even be a Pokémon? “Look over there!

Wrong world. Right power. A wand in hand, a universe in mind. A first-year at Hogwarts wakes a Mythic Primordial System that speaks in principles older than magic. Spells still work—just not like the textbooks say. The System unlocks Sevenfold Insight, hardens skin to ironbound flesh, and sets quests that pay out for clever choices: earn a beast’s trust, outwit goblins at the bank, turn a duel into an alliance. While professors grade charms and hexes, he builds a hidden Sanctum and learns to weave fate-threads through choice, promise, and name. Each step bends school rules—potions become elixirs, brooms become windcraft, shields become bodies that do not break. Dark wizards scheme in shadow. The System is already there, several moves ahead. Magic meets myth—and the syllabus will never survive it.

Ren Wu died once. Two thousand years ago, he was the Imperial Chancellor who governed Hell itself—an Auditor who enforced cosmic law, taxed gods, and sentenced demons with a brushstroke. Then Heaven and Hell cooperated. He was assassinated before he could finish signing a decree meant to fix the cycle of reincarnation. Now, he has awakened in the body of a dying factory owner at the bottom of the modern Underworld. His wealth is his health. His business is survival. His enemies are corporations, gangs, ancient clans—and the government of Hell. While others cultivate to become immortal heroes, Ren Wu cultivates assets. He monopolizes supply chains. He weaponizes contracts. He turns gangs into employees. He turns ancient cultivation manuals into corrected instruction manuals. To Ren Wu, modern cultivators are not warriors. They are illiterate workers using corrupted translations of Hell’s employee handbooks. As Ren rebuilds his corporate empire, fragments of his sealed memories return… Why did his archaeologist parents send him an ancient coffin before vanishing? Why does the Administration desperately want him erased? Why does every ancient family’s sacred art trace back to Hell? To uncover the truth, Ren Wu must do what he does best: Acquire political shields. Build unions. Exploit loopholes. Rewrite laws. Because in this world… You don’t punch judges. You don’t sue gangsters. And you never fight the system. You become the system.
