In the remote countryside village of Grimwood, a boy named Vlad grew up chasing that legend with unwavering determination, driven by a promise he had once made to the moon. However, at sixteen, during the Awakening Ritual, he was branded a failure—awakening only a pathetic D-Rank talent that promised nothing but mediocrity. Yet while others mocked his impossible dream, Vlad refused to give up. Together with his childhood companion Chloe and the friends he would meet within the walls of Arcane Academy, he continued moving forward. What no one knew was that he had awakened something far greater than mere talent. [Legacy System Initialized... Welcome, Host.] As Vlad takes his first steps toward an impossible dream, ancient mysteries begin to unravel and primordial beings that have slumbered for countless ages slowly begin to awaken, their attention inexplicably drawn to Vlad, a D-Ranked boy. --- It's a slow-paced fantasy academy story filled with action, comedy, and a lot of heartwarming romantic moments that will leave you grinning under your blanket at night. No overexaggerated moments of everyone calling the MC pathetic or trash because of his talent. It's a one-time thing and then it's done. Once the protagonist proves his strength, he won't be mindlessly mocked. No over-the-top cliche drama of spoiled noble kids picking fights with the commoner MC in the academy. There are only mild moments to keep the story grounded in reality.

Shirogane Kaito died from overwork. Thirty something, corporate heir, alone on his office floor. No friends. No peace. Just work until his body gave out. He wakes up nineteen in a world where men outnumber women one to seven — and every man acts insufferable about it. Women treated as objects. Arrogance as a personality. The whole social order built on a ratio nobody chose. Kaito wants nothing to do with any of it. He already lived the exhausting life. He is not doing it again. Using nothing but his business knowledge from his previous life he builds himself up from zero — labour, investing, trading — and within a year he is completely financially free. Buys a house. Fills it with manga. Takes a café job just because he likes it. Peaceful, quiet, finally on his own terms. Then a homeless girl with purple hair has nowhere to go and he has a spare room. And somehow after that his quiet life starts filling up — with a possessive older woman who knows his schedule better than he does, a campus girl who hated all men until she met him, a silver haired coworker always on his shift, a tall girl who just wants to be called cute, a shy girl nobody has ever really seen, and a neighbour with two daughters who has already quietly decided she is not letting him go. He is not looking for any of this. It finds him anyway.

Chen Xiaoyun, an orphan from Guangzhou, China, once met a girl who looked remarkably like him. Before he could learn more about her, a deadly virus was unleashed around the globe.

From tanks to jockeys to even invisible zombies and mutated dogs. The mutations are just endless. "Why is there a zombie apocalypse just as I find my family? And why can I suddenly create things from thin air?" Will Xiaoyun survive the chaos with the new people he meets along the way? Will he use his newfound abilities to bring peace to a devastated world? Or perhaps he will just take another nap in the bed like a lazy pig—— "Shut up. How am I supposed to do anything when you keep throwing women at me?" ____________ Author's note: There is no NTR or Yuri unless you consider a threesome as Yuri, in which case I have nothing for you.

Synopsis – Fated Moon In an age where power dictated destiny and kings believed the world bent to their will, one woman stood as an exception. A queen of unmatched beauty and formidable intellect, her presence alone silenced courts and stirred nations. Desired by emperors, warlords, and rulers who were never denied, she defied them all—choosing not the most powerful, but the one her heart recognized: King Toran Volkov of Highcrest. That choice became a spark in a world built on pride and hierarchy. Her rejection of men who commanded empires ignited a quiet but dangerous storm—one fueled by wounded egos, envy, and a thirst for dominance. Years later, that storm broke. Betrayal rose from within, alliances formed in shadows, and a ruthless rebellion swept through Highcrest. The royal family was marked for extinction. The king and queen fell. But their legacy did not. In her final act of defiance against fate, the queen ensured her children would live. Her infant daughter, Roseline, only four months old, was sent away under the cover of chaos—left at the borders of Armathia, a kingdom once bound to them by trust. Her son, Louis, was taken far from the palace by loyal guards, armed not with comfort, but with truth: the names of traitors, the kingdoms that conspired, and the burden of reclaiming what was stolen. Fate, however, had not finished its design. In Armathia, the grieving queen—too late to save her fallen allies—stumbled upon a cruel twist of chance: in order to redeem herself of guilt and inability to save her friend, she took the child, not knowing the child is her friend's child. To her, she's just a helpless baby abandoned to die, her identity marked only by a name—Roseline on her neck. Moved by instinct and sorrow, she took the child into the palace, raising her as her own alongside her son, Prince Kingston. Years passed, and Roseline grew into a woman who mirrored the very queen the world once revered—graceful, enigmatic, and impossibly captivating. Veiled from the world, her beauty became legend rather than sight. But destiny stirred once more when Kingston, now a young man, found his heart drawn to the girl he had once called sister. Yet beyond palace walls, another story unfolded. Louis did not grow in peace—he was forged in loss, hardened by exile, and driven by a singular purpose: vengeance and restoration. Unlike his father, he would not fall to betrayal. Unlike his mother, he would not underestimate the cruelty of power. When he finally emerged, he did so not as a prince seeking a throne—but as a force that would seize it. And he did—ruthlessly. With calculated precision and overwhelming strength, Louis dismantled the very system that destroyed his family, reclaiming Highcrest in a storm of blood and reckoning. But victory brought no peace—only a deeper longing. His sister, the last piece of his family, was still lost to him. For years, he searched relentlessly across kingdoms and borders, chasing whispers, rumors, and fading traces—yet she remained beyond his reach. Until fate intervened once more. An invitation arrived. A royal union in Armathia—the marriage of Crown Prince Alexander. What should have been a distant political formality became something far more significant. There was something about it—something that stirred instinct, memory… certainty. A bride hidden behind elegance and mystery. A presence the world spoke of in hushed admiration. And Louis knew. The sister he had searched for all those years… was waiting at the end of that invitation. But the past was repeating itself. The same forces of power and entitlement that once destroyed his parents now circled once again—this time around Roseline. Powerful men, blinded by desire and control, sought to claim her, to bend her fate as they had tried before. But this time… history would not repeat itself. Standing between Roseline and the fate that destroyed their parents, Louis became her shield—unyielding, relentless, and feared.
