I'm the Absolute Buff Master

—WEBNOVEL SPIRITY AWARDS 2026 ENTRY— Gareth Mourne is 16 years old with a sick obsession: Endless Tower. An RPG where a colossal 50-floor tower appeared out of nowhere. Each floor houses a gate — the only way to face the corresponding boss and push toward the world's salvation. Because if all fifty floors aren't conquered… a meteorite will fall from the sky. But the Tower doesn't wait patiently. Far from its shadow, rifts appear: cracks spawned by the Tower itself that vomit monsters without rest. If they aren't wiped out, progress slows to a crawl. Gareth knows this. He knows it because he's beaten the game more times than he can count. He doesn't play for fun. He plays for glory. He plays to shatter his own records. Every run faster. Every route more optimized. Every buff stacked to an absurd limit. The community gave him a name: Mourgare, the BuffMaster. The night he finally breaks his best time… he falls asleep. And wakes up in a world he recognizes. A world he's convinced can't be real. Believing it's all a lucid dream, Gareth acts without fear of consequences — sabotaging himself in the process and completely destroying his reputation. Until he realizes it's all real. And then he decides something simple: if this world is Endless Tower… he'll conquer it the way he always has. Alone. And when he defeats the first boss solo, the name Mourgare will be etched into the sky — and as his reward, he'll receive his System. With a Special Class that fits him like a glove. [Buff Master] This time, it isn't about breaking a record. It's about leaving his alter ego at the very top.

The Cop System

Alaric Northling was born where the law only arrived to collect bodies. Raised in the suffocating sprawl of the slums, the son of a woman the city used and discarded and a father who never existed beyond a name, Alaric learned early that justice was a myth sold to people who could afford it. Survival was the only truth. He stole because he was hungry. He fought because no one protected him. He ran because that’s what boys like him were meant to do. Until the night he didn’t. An arrest. A holding cell. Fluorescent lights buzzing like dying insects. And a single, dangerous thought: What if I stopped running… and became the one they run from? He doesn’t want redemption. He wants control. The moment Alaric decides to join the police force — to infiltrate the very institution that terrorized his childhood — something awakens. [SYSTEM ACTIVATED] Host: Alaric Northling Pathway Selected: Law Enforcement Ascension A presence only he can see begins to measure him. Evaluate him. Train him. Every choice becomes a calculated variable. Every confrontation, a quest. Every moral compromise, a stat increase. The system promises efficiency. Power. Mastery over crime. But it never explains the cost. As Alaric rises through the ranks, the line between justice and domination begins to blur. The streets recognize him. The criminals fear him. The corrupt watch him carefully. Because the boy from the slums isn’t trying to clean the system. He’s trying to outgrow it. And when a man who understands the darkness is handed the tools of authority, the city must ask itself a terrifying question: Did it just create its greatest protector… Or its most intelligent predator?
