For the power of luminance was said to enchant the will of others, to bind devotion, to awaken desire so deep it unraveled kings. A gift that could topple thrones.

"Well… I'm fucked." … Imagine this: you escape your most mind-numbing college lecture… Professor Henderson droning on about the Agricultural Revolution of 14th Century Flanders, just to hide in a bathroom stall and pull your guaranteed legendary gacha in your favorite game. You've been saving for months. This is it. This is your moment. ...And you pull the worst fodder character in the entire game. Then, as if the universe hadn't humiliated you enough, you hear gunshots. That's how Klaus died… clutching his phone, staring at a trash-tier pull, bleeding out on grimy bathroom tiles while some psycho unloads a clip outside. Pathetic? Absolutely. But hey, at least it couldn't get worse. Except it did. Because now he's woken up inside [Artemis Online]... the very game that betrayed him moments before his death and not as the overpowered Protagonist with his bullshit angel bloodline and auto-heal cheat code and not even as one of the gorgeous gacha waifus everyone whales for or an extra with a decent backing. No. He's reincarnated as that exact same fodder character he pulled. The tutorial NPC. The guy with Metal Magic… the most common, bottom-tier trash magic in existence. The guy whose entire life savings (one measly gold coin) was already spent registering for the Divine Wizard Academy's Entrance Exams in two months. Oh, and did he mention the Protagonist is basically a nepo-baby demigod? Born with the King's bloodline, raised by an literal angel mother who peaced out to heaven, and adopted by the most prestigious noble clan in the kingdom because some rich lady thought his rags looked cute. The guy trips over plot armor everywhere he goes. Meanwhile, Klaus can't even afford a decent meal. How the hell is a no-name mob character with garbage-tier magic supposed to survive an entrance exam designed to kill 90% of applicants? How is he supposed to avoid getting trampled by protagonists, villains, and every overpowered side character in between? Just as despair sets in, a familiar notification appears: 「Ultimate Gacha System has been initialized」 「Roll the gacha wheel once daily for a chance at legendary rewards!」 「Good luck, player. You'll need it.」

Fate Outlaw In the year 2016, the world stands on the brink of collapse—unaware. Hidden beneath modern society, the Mage’s Association and the Holy Church wage silent wars to preserve order. Vampires, gods, and ancient horrors are meant to remain buried in myth. Set within an anomalous fusion of the Fate and Tsukihime worldlines, Fate Outlaw follows Raphael Arzenon—a mage rejected by blood and destiny—whose life is overturned when a fragment of the Moon Cell Automaton from the Fate/Extra timeline becomes embedded within his existence. Unaffected by Gaia, Alaya, or planetary common sense, Raphael stands outside the laws of the world itself. Guided by Cielux, an intelligence born from forbidden information, he gains access to knowledge and power that should never exist in this reality. As vampires rise, the Church speaks lies in God’s name, and the boundaries between worldlines begin to collapse, Raphael is dragged into a war spanning planets, gods, and humanity’s future. With the True Ancestors awakening, the Reverse Side of the World bleeding into reality, and ancient authorities returning to reclaim dominion over mankind, survival demands more than righteousness. It demands rebellion. Hunted by magi, watched by gods, and feared by the planet itself, Raphael is forced to confront a single question: If this is what humanity offers him… should he protect it at all? So what will Raphael Arzenon decide to become— A savior. A monster. Or an outlaw who defies fate itself.

A directionally-challenged woman who has lost her memories... A mentally unstable girl who lives for the "elation"... A petite young girl possessing Herculean strength... A phantom-like phantom thief cat-girl... A mysterious hacker who reigns supreme over the internet... When the gods manifest and countless souls fall into despair, a woman carrying a red oil-paper umbrella quietly passes by. A single tear of blood falls. "Dusk's rain...it too shall fall."

Sterling Voss didn't just wake up in Backlund; he woke up with a celestial infection. Transmigrated into the body of a dying East District factory worker, he finds himself fused with the Parasitic Beyonder Chains, a sentient horror from the outer cosmos that bypasses orthodox pathway laws. To survive the Church’s gaze and the approaching apocalypse, Sterling must utilize Sequence Devouring Parasitism—a brutal system that allows him to "steal" Beyonder abilities by inflicting three stages of psychological and physical "breaks" on his victims. As he maneuvers into a seat at the Tarot Club under the name 'The Tower,' he must balance his dwindling humanity against a parasite that rewards cruelty and punishes kindness. In a city of smog and secrets, he is a predator pretending to be a protagonist, building an empire on the broken minds of those who trust him.

Let Power Be Your Truth. Your Light. And Your Chains. That was the first law granted to the Nyxvalis clan. For thirty-eight generations it held. Through fire and blood, through empire and ruin, through centuries of war waged in the name of a bloodline that had long since ceased to be merely human. It held — and in holding, built a monolith so absolute that the world stopped asking whether it could fall. Then came the 39th Flame. Seven hundred and thirty-one entered the Chambers of Night. Forty-seven crawled back out. Not an army. Not a dynasty. An ember — dim, diminished, and already encircled by enemies who had spent years sharpening their finest wolves in anticipation of its arrival. A heresy in numbers alone. A silent warning to those still bold enough to hear it: If a monolith can tremble — so too can it fall. As the world prepares to record the embers in its annals, so must its instruments play their parts. Those duty-bound to hold the monolith in place. Those eager to test the might of a millennium of power. And the forty-seven — carrying a smiling ember within. A dark gothic world of political deceit and ancient bloodlines. Empires built on inherited violence. Power forged in law and broken in shadow. And beneath it all — the slow, certain rot of institutions that have never once been held accountable. This is the world of The Star Chronicles. A story about survival without innocence. Legacy worn like chains. And the particular kind of power that doesn't free you — it simply decides how you burn. Embers of the Calamity Volume III

A world that fears what it cannot control, witches — beings born with the power of Arcanum — are branded as monsters and hunted without mercy. They alone stand against the Tenebris, nightmarish abominations born from corrupted souls that devour everything in their path. For generations, witches have bled and died to protect the very humans who now turn against them. Betrayed. Branded. Burned at the stake. Driven into exile or slaughtered in the name of "peace," the surviving witches now walk a razor's edge between vengeance and duty. Some fight to protect a world that despises them. Others have embraced the darkness they were accused of. When ancient secrets surface and the line between savior and monster begins to blur, one witch will rise — carrying an unimaginable pain, and a broken halo that may either save humanity… or end it.
