The M Table

There’s a strange little diner that comes into existence every full moon and only opens that night. It has two employees, Lilith, a charming but mysterious waitress, and Goliath, the quiet cook who never asks questions. And its owner, Mephistopheles, or in short, Mephisto, isn’t your average guy either. He’s a demon who listens to those in despair while serving them food and drinks. On listening to their story, he offers them a deal: he’ll make their dreams come true in exchange for their soul or their loved ones. Each Arc comprises stories involving a central character. First Arc: Back in 2006, a young pregnant woman came in, heartbroken and broke. She wanted fame, no matter the cost. Mephisto granted her wish, but in return, he’d take her unborn child’s soul seven years later. When the time came, she begged for more time. Amused, Mephisto gave her twelve more years in exchange for something else. Now it’s 2025, and that child Amelia is about to turn nineteen. Her time is almost up. Mephisto plans to collect what’s his… but he’s not the only one after her. Other dark forces are moving, each wanting Sasha’s soul for their own reasons. As strange things begin to happen around her, Amelia discovers that there’s something very special about her soul. With only a few months left, she has to decide how to live, who to trust, and whether she can escape the fate her mother sold her into. But one thing’s for sure... Mephisto doesn’t like losing a deal, especially the one he made with her mother.

MY GACHA GIRLFRIENDS

Japan was supposed to be boring this spring. At least, that’s what Aki Fujimori, a perfectly average first-year high school boy, kept telling himself as he dragged his half-asleep butt to school every morning. Same uniform, same trains, same teachers who acted like the universe personally offended them. Nothing special. Nothing spicy. Zero rizz. Then—because the gods apparently woke up and chose chaos—Aki downloads a weird new gacha app that appeared on his phone outta nowhere: 「Eternity Summon: Soulbound Edition」. Naturally, like any respectable teenager, he taps “10x Pull” without reading the terms of service (because who actually does that?), expecting the usual trash-tier characters. Instead, his screen explodes in rainbow sparkles like some cracked-out magical girl transformation, and— BAM. A real girl drops into his bedroom. A tall, gorgeous, silver-haired warrior in armor that looks like it was designed by someone who had way too much fun. She lands like a meteor, points a glowing sword at him, and says: “Master. I am the Lv. 10000 Supreme SSR: Celestia. You summoned me. Now we’re soulbound for life.” Aki, who can barely summon the courage to order ramen without stuttering, now has the most powerful woman in ten dimensions calling him Master. And she’s hot. Like “holy crap is this even legal?” hot. But Celestia isn’t just strong—she’s clingy as hell, has zero understanding of modern Japan, and apparently thinks every minor inconvenience is an act of war. (Convenience store ran out of melon bread? Sword drawn. Someone bumps Aki on the train? They must perish.) As Aki struggles to hide her existence, deal with school, and maintain his sanity, more girls from the gacha world begin “accidentally” pulling themselves into reality—each one stronger, weirder, and thirstier for attention than the last. Now Aki’s quiet life has turned into a full-blown fantasy-romcom disaster speedrun. With Tokyo on the brink of magical chaos, cosmic beings sliding into his DMs, and Celestia insisting she’s his “destined partner,” Aki must figure out how the hell he’s supposed to live a normal life…
