Lux was a genius who squandered his potential. On what should have been the day of his success, he found himself alone—without family, friends, or anything but regret. Then came death. Reborn into a world where power is determined by spiritual roots, Lux awakens in the body of a boy cursed with an Omni-Element Spirit Root—an ability so misunderstood that it is considered useless. Cultivators mock him, and elders dismiss him. His future seems grim and predetermined. But Lux knows something they do not. In a world where people chase power blindly, balance is the strongest force of all. This time, he won’t waste his life. This time, he’ll make every moment count.

[Family Stream, Farming Stream, Cultivating Stream, Talented Mc, No System] In the Soaring Immortal Continent, the humans and demons have been in constant state of war for tens of millions of years. The story began in a small mountain of the continent, the Wang Immortal Family, who have just given birth to their first child of third generation.

In an alternate 1888 Japan where the Continental War has ended, fifteen-year-old Buki Kirā emerges from three years of isolation—a child soldier who has forgotten what it means to be human. Systematically broken since age five, Buki exists as a weapon in human form. He calculates distances with tactical precision but cannot measure grief. He delivers death notifications with clinical efficiency, handing families their shattered worlds as if distributing routine correspondence. Social worker Clara Hoku releases him carrying a devastating secret: General Hazami Kokoro—the only person who tried to teach him humanity—died three years ago saving his life. Her final order echoes in his fractured memory: "I order you to live. Not survive—live." Working as a postal carrier for the Imperial War Correspondence Office, Buki delivers delayed letters from fallen soldiers—final words, death notifications, personal effects of the dead. Every delivery forces him to witness raw grief while feeling nothing himself. When a child asks if the letter means Papa is coming home, when a mother collapses reading her son's last words, when a widow thanks him through tears for bringing her husband's final thoughts home—he observes, records, but cannot comprehend. Fellow postal worker Yuki Amane recognizes what others miss: he's not cruel, he's broken. She teaches him that letters aren't just paper—they're the last fragments of people's souls. That delivering them with compassion matters, even if you don't understand why. Then General Hazami's own letter arrives—one year late, written the night before her death—and everything Buki has buried begins surfacing. Memories of two lives, two deaths: the systematic abuse that taught him emotions meant pain, his years as a child soldier creating the casualties whose letters he now carries, and impossibly, memories of dying before in 2027 Tokyo—murdered by his mother after witnessing his family's slaughter. A sixteen-episode psychological journey through trauma, grief, and the agonizing process of remembering how to feel when feeling itself became your enemy. RATED MA18+ Here is the Japanese translation of your story premise. I have used a style typical of Japanese light novels or "Seinen" anime synopses to capture the somber and psychological tone. 作品概要：タイトルの未定 (Untitled) 大陸戦争が終結した、もう一つの1888年。3年間の隔離生活を終え、15歳の**武器・キラ（Buki Kirā）**が姿を現す。彼は3年間の空白を経て社会に戻った、人間であることを忘れた「元・少年兵」だった。 5歳の頃から組織的に心を壊され、武器として育てられたキラ。戦術的な距離は正確に測れても、悲しみの深さは測れない。戦死通知を届ける際も、まるで事務的な書類を配るかのように、淡々と遺族へ「崩壊した日常」を突きつける。 ソーシャルワーカーのクララ・ホクは、ある残酷な事実を隠したまま彼を釈放する。それは、彼に人間性を教えようとした唯一の人物、ハザミ・ココロ将軍は、3年前に彼の命を救って戦死したということだ。彼の断片的な記憶の中には、彼女の最後の命令が響いている。 「命令する、生きなさい。ただ生存するのではなく、人間として生きるのよ」 帝国戦争通信局の郵便配達員として働き始めたキラは、戦死した兵士たちからの「遅れて届いた手紙」を配達する。最期の言葉、死亡通知、遺品。一通届けるごとに、彼は生々しい悲しみに直面するが、彼自身は何も感じることができない。父親の帰宅を信じる子供、息子の最期の言葉に崩れ落ちる母親、夫の想いを届けてくれたことに涙を流して感謝する未亡人。彼はそれらを観察し、記録するが、理解はできない。 同僚の**天音ユキ（Yuki Amane）**は、周囲が気づかない彼の本質を見抜く。彼は冷酷なのではなく、壊れているのだと。彼女は彼に教える。手紙はただの紙ではない。それは人々の魂の欠片なのだと。たとえ理由が分からなくとも、慈しみを持って届けることに意味があるのだと。 そんなある日、一通の手紙が届く。それはハザミ将軍が死の直前に綴った、1年遅れの手紙だった。それをきっかけに、キラが葬り去ってきたすべてが表面化し始める。2つの人生、2つの死の記憶。感情は苦痛であると叩き込まれた組織的虐待の記憶。今自分が手紙を届けている「犠牲者」たちを生み出していた少年兵としての歳月。そして、あり得ざる記憶――2027年の東京で、家族の虐殺を目撃した末に母親に殺害された、前世の記憶。 全16話で描かれる、トラウマと悲嘆の心理的旅路。「感じる」ことそのものが敵となったとき、人はどうやって心を取り戻すのか。その苦悶に満ちた再生の物語。 【対象年齢：R18+ 指定】

In a world where strength decides everything, Lin Tian was born with nothing. No powerful clan. No wealthy background. No cultivation talent—at least, that was what the world believed. On the day of the Awakening Ceremony, Lin Tian was judged as trash, mocked by his peers, and abandoned by fate itself. To everyone else, his path had already ended before it began. But they were wrong. Behind his calm eyes lies a genius that refuses to bow to heaven. From the lowest dust of society, Lin Tian walks a ruthless path of cultivation—fast, decisive, and unforgiving. He does not rely on mercy, nor does he cling to false righteousness. Those who insult him will be crushed. Those who stand in his way will be erased. As his strength rises, so does the scale of the world—sects fall, nations tremble, heavens crack, and immortals are forced to look down in fear. This is the story of a poor genius who was born beneath the heavens— and chose to defy them.

He died. No glory, no epic battle, no final redemption. Just poof, the end. But the story didn’t end there. When he opened his eyes again, Ren Zu found himself in a world where profound cultivators split the sky, the earth… and even the stars. And the worst part? He wasn’t anyone important. Just a background character — the biological son of a prodigious cultivator who died before the story even began. The protagonist? The one who shines, conquers everything, and is loved by all? He was adopted by Ren Zu’s original family. And Ren Zu? He was thrown into the protagonist’s birth family. Their roles had been reversed. And as if that wasn’t enough, the protagonist even stole his wife… Now, Ren Zu is trapped in the role of the emotionally useful NPC — the kind who’s destined to die early, just to serve as a trigger for the hero’s rise. Spoiler: He’s not going to accept that. If the world wants to erase him, then the world will burn with him. If fate gave him the role of a disposable side character… …then he’ll become the villain who defies even the heavens.

What begins as a clash of two arrogant egos—a human who refuses to be impressed and a demon who demands worship—turns into a fight for survival. When a mysterious assassin targets Do-hee on a desolate road, Gu-won appears not as a hero, but as a dealer. He offers her a life-saving contract in exchange for her soul.

The heavens sealed a power so forbidden it could rewrite creation. Then a dying divine beast placed it into the hands of a nobody… and fate cracked. Qi Shan Wei was born in a forgotten corner of the mortal world—meant for an ordinary life, an ordinary death. But in a single encounter, he inherits a fragment of the Prismatic Divine Core, an impossible legacy hunted for millions of years by immortal sects, ancient clans, and beings who rule stars like kingdoms. That fragment is not a gift. It is a summons. From the moment it awakens, the cosmos turns its gaze toward him—fate-bending spirits, heavenly geniuses, realm-devouring gods… all drawn by the rumor of a power that commands the seven Prismatic Forces that govern existence itself. To survive, Shan Wei must break through faster than the age can comprehend. To rise, he must master laws that were never meant for mortals. To rule, he must uncover the prophecy buried in the forgotten heavens—one that dares to speak of an Eternal Emperor who will decide which realms live… and which are erased.
