Rayan Balthorne is ordinary—and painfully aware of it. Trapped under academic pressure, financial strain, and a future decided by a single entrance exam, he is already at his limit when something impossible answers him. An AI system. It doesn’t offer luck or instant genius. It offers one thing only: A path beyond human limits. Every gain has conditions. Every shortcut is rejected. Growth is slow, controlled, and unforgiving. As Rayan follows the system’s guidance, his mind sharpens, his discipline hardens, and his personality begins to change. The distracted, reactive boy fades—replaced by someone precise, composed, and unsettlingly focused. Teachers start to notice. Rivals feel threatened. The world pushes back. This is not a power fantasy. It’s a progression story about control, evolution, and the cost of becoming more than human—one decision at a time. When the system chooses you, it doesn’t ask what you want. It asks how far you’re willing to go

That was what Adrian Sheva, a 17-year-old boy from the most crowded district in Jakarta, said to convince himself that delving into the chess world would be a waste of time. He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly. However, it seems that the people around him disagree. They all see the talent hidden in Sheva - although Sheva himself insists that it all comes from the system - and force him to go deeper into this world. As he accumulates more experiences, playing more tournaments, making new friends, and fighting against new rivals from other countries, and winning some glories for his country, slowly but surely, this game starts to grow on him. Until in the end, he finally looks back at his journey from the bottom, Sheva cannot help but smile and say, "Oh, well... It seems that this game is not as bad as I thought..."

There comes a point in every man's life when he contemplates whether the world was made for him. This was the thought consuming a man named Byung. There was nothing left to live for. He had flunked out of college while suffering from muscular dystrophy—a disability that limited everything he could do. He had the brains to think, but lacked the physical ability to carry out those thoughts, leaving him trapped within his mind. He didn't flunk out due to his lack of intellect, if anything, it was his incredibly high IQ that brought him here. He had to feed his mind things since his body was a husk that trapped it in. But at the end of the day, depression won because no one showed interest in him, so he never even got to lose his virginity. Jobs refused to hire him because of his physical limitations. He hated his parents for bringing him into this world, only to abandon him by dying in an accident shortly after. Who was going to take care of him now? There was nothing left to live for. Byung knew his life would be different if only he could live like everyone else. But that wasn't his fate. The universe had decided to play a cruel joke on him. What if there was no afterlife, though? "I'd be glad," Byung muttered with a defeated smile, seated in his wheelchair on the side of the road. The chair was barely holding together—the pull ring loose, threatening to break at any moment. "Goodbye, cruel world..." These were Byung's last words before rolling into oncoming traffic. The infamous Truck-kun, responsible for countless isekai deaths, came to his rescue, sweeping him off the road and ending his miserable life. ------ "Zit mi-grok," a voice exclaimed. This was certainly not a language Byung recognized. He assumed this was one of those moments when your life flashes before your eyes—perhaps some forgotten childhood memory. But when his eyes opened, everything changed. What came into view were green monsters. "What the bloody fuck is this!?" Byung exclaimed. His first thought: hell. But the gigantic breasts in front of him suggested otherwise. From the corner of his eye, he caught glimpses of his surroundings. These weren't average monsters. These were goblins! . . [[[This is a dual system novel that focuses heavily on plot despite the title]]]

Reborn into the world of One Piece as a helpless baby, El thinks fate has scammed him. No golden finger. No system. No guidance. But soon, the truth becomes clear— it’s not that he has no cheat. He is the cheat. With Observation Haki awakened at birth, a sword in his hands by three, and the Voice of All Things at five, El grows into a monster of pure talent. If Big Mom was born to destroy, El was born to cut—through steel, through fear, and eventually, through the very destiny of this world. From a nameless child to the nightmare of pirates and the obsession of Marines, he carves his legend across the Grand Line without a Devil Fruit— only a blade and talent so overwhelming that even the Yonko turn their heads. This is the rise of the Strongest Swordsman, where every swing of his sword rewrites the future of the seas.

In this world, awakening a class is extremely rare, especially for children born from a simple background. But most nobles were blessed with the gift of awakening a class at the age of nineteen while only about five percent of commoners would be awakening theirs. However, every single one of them had only one goal in mind, to join the elite warrior party in eradicating the threats of their kingdom. Members of the elite warrior party had fame, riches and everything else anyone could ever asked for, so Ray felt ecstatic when he had been invited to join the elite warriors party. At the age of nineteen, he was from a remote village and all he had ever wanted was nothing more than to go on adventures with his new party members. However, things didn’t work out as he had planned it to be. Not only did he lost his mother, sister and childhood friend, he had also been treated poorly by his team members who were eager to get rid of him at the slightest chance they had. In the end, Ray was used as a sacrifice for their own selfish interests and all he could do was watch as they crushed his skull to paste. But luckily, Ray somehow found himself back to the very day he had Awakened his powers. And now, with the knowledge of the future at the back of his mind, Ray vows to find out the root behind his party members’ actions. Of course, he intends to also cruelly repay each and every one of them for what they had done to him, while also protecting those he had failed to save in his previous life.

On an ordinary day, he stood behind the counter with his eyes half-closed, quietly and diligently making ramen—just as he always did. Until one moment changed everything. A mysterious Golden List suddenly appeared across heaven and earth, reshaping the entire Shinobi World. One after another, new rankings lit up: Ninjutsu List, Kekkei Genkai List, Tailed Beast List, Beauty List, Handsome List, Five Kage Power List, Acting List, Overall Combat List… Anyone who placed on a list would receive unimaginable rewards.

In the year 2033 it began. Gods, monsters, devils, angels, every higher creature from every mythology began to bless those they found worthy and share their powers. Eventually with the emergence of the gates, we realized they were preparing us.

They are the most famous and well known people in the entire world and some are even the leaders of their own nations. They are immensely powerful, beautiful, and charming beings. After five whole years, we still have no idea what the higher’s criteria are for blessing a human. Despite the seemingly loose criteria, only 1 percent of the population actually end up as blessed and gain the privilege of entering gates and defending our world. With all of the excitement around the Blessed, we seem to have forgotten the most important question.

James was a hustler who'd succeeded in retiring early, only for the pandemic to ruin all of his plans. He spent two years locked up inside playing video games and watching movies, only to be spiritually abducted just as the situation started improving. Now his name is Jin and he's a part of the Illusion Room Sect. A cultivation sect that creates scenarios for combat-focused cultivators to hone their skills.

And most importantly, will he ever manage to surpass the rank of cannon fodder?

A thousand souls died to give him a second chance. He plans to spend every one of them on revenge. Nova Almond awakens on Earth without memories—just a sickly child raised by a kind foster mother in a world where dungeons spawn monsters, the Universal System governs power, and the strong devour the weak. But when fragments of his past life as a cold-blooded prince of a fallen Ancient Human family begin surfacing, he remembers the truth: his father butchered, his sister hunting redemption through atrocity, his closest friend's knife in his back. Now, armed with genius-level technological knowledge and the slow return of his superpowers, Nova must navigate academy rivalries, Earth's shadowy organizations like the FIENDS, and the cosmic forces that destroyed his family—while rebuilding the Shadows, collecting his scattered soul pieces, and deciding whether the man he's becoming is the monster they made or something far more dangerous: a brother, a lover... and the rightful claimant to a throne stained in blood. "The universe is vast and cold and utterly indifferent to our suffering. But we are not indifferent. We are not cold. We are the fragments of shattered crowns and broken souls, and we will build something new from the ruins of everything that tried to destroy us. This is not a story about vengeance. It was never only about vengeance. It is a story about coming home." — Nova Almond, The Crimson Dominion of the Godless System
