HEROIC CARDS : NEW ORDER

In the alternate world of Hale, Jon was once a titan of industry—a successful senior artist for a premier company specializing in collectible cards for famous franchises. He lived a life of creativity and prestige, until the sky fractured. Without warning, Dimensional Gates and Dungeons tore through the fabric of reality, unleashing waves of monsters that brought only chaos and destruction. In the wake of the catastrophe, emerged—superhuman heroes endowed with the powers to push back the darkness. But this new world order came at a steep price for Jon. As fantasy became a living, breathing reality, the world lost interest in cardboard monsters and imaginary heroes. John’s company collapsed, and his life’s work became worthless. For ten years, John lived at the absolute bottom of society, scraping by on grueling part-time jobs just to survive in a world that had moved on without him. Everything changed one night when Jon finally "awakened." Unlike the Hunters who gained strength or speed, Jon gained a unique, paradoxical ability:A system that allows him to bestow the powers of cards he collected to people—but he cannot use any of these cards on himself. Armed with his artistic genius and a decade of hardship, John decides to play a different game. He will not be a hero ; he will be the one who creates them. Using his ability wisely, John begins to scout talent and forge the world's most elite heros, eventually building the strongest and very first International Guild in the history of Hale.

The Pawn Ascendant: Chronicles of the Expendable Hero

A coward 28-year-old convenience store clerk with crippling anxiety who apologized to customers and avoided conflict at all costs. Then he died saving a child and got summoned to a fantasy world as a "hero." There's just one problem: he wasn't meant to succeed. While three powerful heroes get legendary skills and royal treatment, He is given trash stats and a useless ability called [Adaptive Evolution]. The truth? He's the Expendable—a sacrificial pawn summoned to absorb the System's curse so the real heroes can shine. He's supposed to die within months. They didn't count on his survival instinct. Betrayed by his party, sold into slavery, and thrown into death matches for noble entertainment, he learns the world's cruelest lesson: kindness is weakness, and only monsters survive. So he becomes one. Copying skills from everyone who tries to kill him. Devouring the power of those who underestimate him. Smiling politely while orchestrating massacres. The cowardly hero transforms into something far more terrifying—a strategic nightmare who turns every attempt on his life into a new weapon. But as he climbs from Level 1 to god-slaying powerhouse, he discovers the horrifying truth: he was never random. His soul is a fragment of the First Hero—the one who nearly destroyed the gods 1,000 years ago. The Expendable Protocol wasn't designed to kill a nobody. It was designed to kill him before he remembered what he was. Now the gods themselves descend to finish what they started. But he has spent years learning from predators, tyrants, and monsters. He's absorbed hundreds of skills, toppled kingdoms, allied with demons, and killed without hesitation. The coward who apologized to goblins has become the man who makes gods afraid. From convenience store clerk to weapon of mass destruction. From victim to predator. From hero to heretic to something the world has no name for. One man's journey to survive in a world that wanted him dead—and his transformation into the exact monster they deserved.

BINGED: Reincarnated as an OP

“Freedom,” Ren cried, falling to his knees. “That's all I wanted. I wanted to be free, to live happily with Reena, to have a life… my life.” “I never wanted all of these! I never wanted to be special… or powerful or…” his voice trailed off. “I never wanted to fulfill any freaking prophecy! I never wanted to be everyone's target, having blades at my throat.” “I… I just wanted to be Ren. Nothing more, just simply living.” “We both want the same thing, Ren,” Faerin said, calmly, kneeling on one knee in front of him. She touched his cheeks and a golden aura glowed from it, “We can change that together, forever.” *** Ren, an orphaned slave working in the toxic particle mines of the Outliers, receives a death sentence when he turns Rancid and is on the verge of becoming one of the wild monsters known as Binged. Becoming a Rancid was the last thing anyone in his world would wish for; it was the very corruption that was spreading across cities like wildfire and turning them into demonic monsters. For some, it also came with a blessing—a chance to be Awakened with amazing powers. For Ren, it was a chance to change his life and find his sister, yet fate had other plans for him. Pressed by a purpose he knows nothing about, and gifted with the power of flaming cards, he becomes everyone's target, chased around the entire city for something far deeper than committing a crime. Everyone believes Ren had been marked by an ancient Seraph and was to bring destruction once again to the world. Yet, they do not know that Ren was being granted a very daunting purpose to end Rancidity, the very corruption that has eaten up the entire world and put an end to the monsters and demons taking over the world.
