I woke up as an extra in a famous novel. Before I could even panic, a system window appeared. [Mission: Confess to Myles Cortez.] [Favorability: -10] [Time Remaining: 30 minutes] [Penalty: Death] Myles Cortez, the final villain of the story. Apparently, if I want to live, I have to seduce him. Easy, right? ... Wrong. "You think you can back out now?" His fingers tightened behind my head, eyes dark. "Blake, you confessed to me every day with that smile." ...I may have seduced him a little too well.

In the year 2350, Earth changed forever. Portals tore open across the skies, unleashing monstrosities no human had ever faced. But with the monsters came awakening – humans gained power, ranks, and a status screen that defined their place in the new world. Two centuries later, power no longer belonged to politicians, but to the awakened. Damian Valcor, a bored 15-year-old, only cared about passing the entrance exam for an academy. But on the eve of the results, his life was overturned when he awakened the memories of his past life. A past life where he was not an ordinary man… But a ruthless mafia boss. To his shock, the world he now lived in was nearly identical to a novel he had once come across in his previous life. Although he remembered the world, he didn’t remember any of the characters of that novel. But he was sure of one thing. Damian Valcor was not one of the main characters. He was just a random Extra. With underworld cunning, ruthless ambition, and the knowledge of what lies in the future for this world, Damian must make sure to protect his loved ones, the loved ones he never had in his past life. He will make sure to snuff out the existence of any being who dared to endanger them. But for that… He needs to rise as the one pulling the strings. And to do that, he needed… Power. "Power isn’t granted, it’s taken – and I’ve had a lifetime of practice." ________________ Schedule:- 2 Chapter/Day for now.

I, Alan, crossed into the world of Harry Potter, starting with the activation of the Mind Palace. In my eyes, everything can be analyzed; magic is nothing more than underlying science at a higher dimension. While my peers were still struggling with the Levitation Charm, I was already simulating the “automation program” of spells; when Snape boasted of his exquisite potion-making art, my chemical reaction equations left him speechless. Duels are probability studies, Quidditch is data analysis, and so-called magical talent is merely a pseudo-proposition born of information asymmetry. I developed “modular magical toys,” founded the “Hogwarts Makerspace,” wrote “rune firewalls,” and set logical traps in Riddle’s diary… I etched science and rationality into the very underlying code of this world. When Dumbledore invited me to help optimize Hogwarts’ defense systems, and Snape flew into a rage because he couldn’t understand my papers, I finally realized: the so-called magical world is just my next game to conquer. ~~---------------------- Original Author: 糯米吃黑手 Raw: 霍格沃茨：你管这叫魔法？ Patreon Advance Chapters:  [email protected] / Dreamer20  P.S: This is an Alternate Timeline fan-fic.

"What are you willing to do to achieve something? How serious are you about achieving your goals?" This was the question that Loki and the other people who came to the Four Directions sect to earn their freedom were asked on their first day in the sect. For Loki, this question was easy for him to answer because he was reborn as a slave in this world and had already defied the will of his slave master in order to join the Four Directions sect. He had braved danger and suffering to reach the Four Directions sect. So he knew what it meant to be desperate and was willing to do whatever was required of him to achieve his goal. In the world of the blessed heaven realm, there is no such thing as human rights, and freedom is a luxury that very few people have. It is said that everyone is a slave to someone. The only difference is how strong their master is. So he, just like everyone else, is under the control of someone above them. But he doesn't want to remain a slave forever. He aspires to greatness, immortality, and freedom. He wants to acquire enough power to gain control of his fate. He also wants to rise to the top of the world and be the one to control others. He even wants to gain power and control over death. In order to achieve this, he is willing to do anything. This is his answer to the question of what he is willing to do to achieve his goals. His answer to this question was why he awakened the Fenrir metac. This is a metac that can help him achieve his goals by granting him the ability to find prey, hunt prey, and devour them to strengthen himself. With the Fenrir metac, he will transform from a prey into a predator. He will even have the chance to rise to the top of the food chain and become the strongest predator. That is to be his purpose in life, and with great luck and perseverance, he might achieve it.

Locals even hail him as a prodigy for his past-life knowledge—but every gift carries a curse. Everyone wants a piece of him. His mana is pathetic, yet he must revive his house, fight invaders, and rewrite the laws of magic to survive. His "blessed" life feels more like a brutal gauntlet designed to make him suffer. His guardian angel? The Devil in disguise. But the true danger arrives in the form of the gorgeous women flocking to him. A demoness, an archangel, and an ancient dragon—all with their own agendas, where Konrad is the key. He wanted to be the one pulling the strings. Instead, he finds himself the puppet.

Yuuta Konuari was the weakest, most average guy on Earth. Barely scraping through college. Working a part-time job. Growing up in a quiet orphanage with no family to call his own. Life was simple. Predictable. Lonely. Then fate played a cruel game. One night, he dreamed of a woman. A stunning, powerful Dragon Queen from another world and he slept with her. The dream felt so real that he woke breathless, but he convinced himself it was nothing. Just his lonely mind playing tricks. He forgot about it. He moved on. He continued living in silence for Five year. Until she showed up in his room. Erza, the Dragon Queen, crossed worlds to find him. She brought a child with silver hair, tiny wings, and red eyes that looked exactly like his. A little girl who called him "Papa." She gives him one year. One year to prove himself worthy of being her mate. One year before she kills him for tainting the royal bloodline. Yuuta should be terrified. He is terrified. But he has never had a family before. And Elena with her wagging tail, her boundless curiosity, and her absolute certainty that Papa can fix anything has already claimed his heart. On the surface, this is a story about a mortal man who somehow won the heart of an ice queen. A slice-of-life romance about cooking, dancing, and learning to be a family. It is warm. It is tender. It is the kind of story that makes you believe love can conquer anything. It is not. Beneath the surface, something else lurks. A secret buried in Yuuta's blood. A past he was forced to forget. A truth that connects him to the very monsters hunting them. The scars on his back are not from childhood accidents. The nightmares that wake him screaming are not random. And the woman who swore to kill him is beginning to realize that the mortal she despises is not the villain she imagined. He is the victim. The forgotten son. The boy who was never meant to exist. As enemies close in from both worlds, Yuuta must uncover the truth of his origin before it destroys everything he loves. He does not have magic. He does not have power. He has only his hands, his heart, and the stubborn refusal to let go. He doesn't need to be a hero. He just needs to hold on. But holding on may cost him everything.

On an infinitely chaotic, dimensional battlefield… Uchiha Madara, his gaze filled with contempt, activates his Susanoo. "You wish to dance, too?" Ryomen Sukuna stands with his hands in his pockets. "You're the challenger here." Aizen Sōsuke slicks back his hair with a single motion. "From this moment forward, I will stand at the top." The bald Saitama just scratches his head, completely lost on what is happening. Having lost her signature ahoge, Saber Alter frantically swings Excalibur Morgan in a chaotic frenzy.

For Joric, a soul who had clawed his way out of the hellish reality of the 41st Millennium, any new world was a paradise by comparison. After all, what fate could be more hopeless than being cast into the galaxy-spanning nightmare of the Imperium of Man? He had no divine blessing, no unnatural psychic gift—nothing but his own wits—and was born into the polluted, sunless depths of a hive city's underhive. Yet, through sheer grit and a fervent devotion to the Machine God, he ascended from the grime to become a Tech-Priest of the Adeptus Mechanicus. It was on an archeotech recovery mission, deep in the ruins of a forgotten age, that he made contact with a strange, ancient device. In a flash of impossible energy, he was hurled across the veil of reality to a world uncannily similar to the lost Terra of ancient legend. For a fleeting moment, Joric believed the Omnissiah had guided him home. He was wrong. He soon discovered this world was not the cradle of humanity, but a rain-slicked dystopia of chrome, neon, corporate overlords, and digital ghosts. This was a cyberpunk reality, and his grimdark tale was just beginning.

He was supposed to be dead. The Hero who defeated the Demon King. The Empire’s shining sword. The boy the world called salvation. But when Kael finally opened his eyes after five years of silence… he remembered nothing. Not the war. Not the victory. Not even himself. Waking in a grand mansion far from the capital, Kael finds himself surrounded by strangers who treat him with desperate devotion—Robert, the gentle healer who refuses to leave his side, and Elric, the composed duchess who claims him as her fiancé. They say he is safe. They say the war is over. But safety feels like a cage. His body trembles at mirrors. His heart recoils from unfamiliar faces. And in the quiet hours of the night, a mysterious man dressed in black slips through his balcony, bringing flowers and speaking as if Kael once meant the world to him. The Emperor. A man who smiles like a friend—but watches like a king who has already buried him once. As fractured memories begin to surface, Kael realizes something is terribly wrong. The nightmares are not from this world. The blood on his hands is not only from a battlefield of demons. Before he was a hero… he was something else. Something broken. Something unforgivable. Now, caught between a past he cannot remember and a world that refuses to let him rest, Kael must decide: Will he become the Empire’s weapon once more? Or will he finally choose to live—not as a hero, not as a symbol— But as himself?

WARNING: Some mature content!!! 18+ This is what you call Urbantasy.. Fantasy in an urban setting with a strong female lead -- a story riddled in mystery, magic, and a lot of sass. ======= CHAPTER 1 sneak peek! ======= The air between them tightened like a rope. Cael leaned closer, head tilting slightly, pulling at her waist again, smugness softened into something sharper and quieter. His eyes flicked to her lips then back to her eyes as if asking for permission he didn't need. Hunger of a different kind pumped through Cael. The hunger that Galathea unmistakably recognized as it pressed hard against her lower abs, forcing through the fabric as if it can tear through. At the sensation, Galathea's mouth parted before she could stop it. Her whole body screamed at her to either shove him away or close the last inch between their lips herself. ===== SYNOPSIS ===== Galathea Brooks spent her life surviving quietly -- counting inventory, enforcing rules, keeping her head down inside one of the most powerful art institutions in the city. It's a simple life because paint doesn't talk; power doesn't notice people like her. and names are just names. -- That is... until a painting remembered her. When ancient works buried beneath Artemis Art Gallery began to respond to Galathea's presence, she becomes the center of the system that's older than the building itself. A system that cataloged her long before she knew it existed. Her name is not a coincidence. It is a KEY. Cael Alexander, on the other hand, has always understood control. As Artemis' immaculate but dangerous CEO, he manages secrets like no other. He knows the gallery and its bowels more than anyone. He knows what's hidden; he knows what's awaken. What he didn't expect, however, was Galathea. As archaic works of art start to stir, boundaries fracture -- between observer and artifact, power and possession, restraint and desire. Every choice Galathea makes draws her deeper into fate that doesn't want permission... only acknowledgement. Mind you, awakenings don't ask when you're ready.
