Kaito Yukimura thought being summoned to another world as a hero would be the start of an epic adventure. Instead, he was publicly humiliated, declared useless for having no magic, and exiled to the Black Forest to die. But Kaito didn’t die. In his desperation, he awakened his true gift: a pair of black gloves bearing cards that summon legendary villainesses—women so dangerous that even the gods once sealed them away. His first summoning, Adelheid—the Führerin of Collapse—not only saved his life. She offered him something more. A kingdom. From a forgotten village called Dreisburg, Kaito begins his rise. Not through heroic magic, but through ruthless strategy, psychological manipulation, and the lethal power of his queens: Adelheid, master of will and warfare. Lilith, poisoner of minds and faith. Naporia, empress of the sword and conquest. With every victory, his territory expands. With every fallen enemy, his legend grows. But with every summoning… he changes. Kaito can feel his humanity eroding—eroded by impossible decisions, necessary sacrifices, and the lines he keeps crossing. When the Kingdom of Avernor—the same kingdom that discarded him—sends blessed heroes and armies to crush his newborn realm of Neudämmerung, Kaito must face not only an external war, but an internal one: Is he a liberator protecting the discarded? Or is he becoming just another tyrant? With three deadly queens competing for his favor, questionable allies gathering at his side, enemies multiplying, and uninvoked cards whispering promises of limitless power… Kaito walks the razor’s edge between hero and monster. In a world where heroes are puppets and kings are corrupt, perhaps it takes a villain— —or three— to change the rules of the game.

Power decides fate— but what happens when fate makes the worst possible choice? Reincarnated war-nerd Zhan Ge, whose only real-life experience with conflict was driving military supply trucks in Ukraine “for research purposes,” suddenly opens his eyes in 1903… inside the body of Prince Oskar, the awkward, ignored fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. In the German Empire, he’s supposed to be noble. Disciplined. Patriotic. Elegant. Instead, he’s: – socially anxious, – addicted to military history, – speaking German like an Austrian action hero, and – climbing palace trees to hide from responsibility. Branded “the strange prince,” never taken seriously, Oskar becomes the forgotten Hohenzollern— the prince nobody needed. But Zhan Ge knows something no one else in 1903 could even imagine: Germany is racing toward a catastrophe. The world’s first global war. A disaster that will shatter empires, redraw continents, and erase millions. If he does nothing, the German Empire collapses. He loses his title, his home, his future, and—worst of all— his chance at a peaceful life with a wife, money, food, and absolutely zero trenches. To survive, Oskar must change history itself: strengthen Germany without unleashing darker futures stop the world from repeating its greatest tragedies outsmart rival princes, generals, ministers and avoid accidentally starting WWI early with an Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner. Armed with a century of historical knowledge, modern logic, and a dwarf attendant who constantly questions his sanity, the most unwanted prince of Prussia stands at the dawn of a new century… Determined to reshape the fate of Europe or die trying.

An existence revered even by gods themselves grows bored—and decides to retire. After stepping away from divinity, he is reborn as Wright, a mortal in a fragile fantasy world. Inspired by the slow, peaceful lives he once read about in manga, Wright sets out to enjoy an otherworldly retirement: a small house in the forest, a garden to tend, good food to eat, and absolutely zero responsibility for the fate of reality. Or at least, that’s the plan. This is the story of the quiet, everyday life of a manga-obsessed former god—trying to live slowly in a world that can’t quite handle him.

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.”

Reborn as *Prince Aster Wynfall*, alongside his devoted twin sister Astra, he makes a vow: *This time, I will not fail.* While a ruthless queen plots to erase the “defective” heirs and the court clings to its fiery legacy, Aster unleashes something this world has never seen: - *Recorded music* that spreads across kingdoms like wildfire. - *Rap* that leaves hardened mages speechless and crowds in tears. - *Concerts* that unite nobles and commoners in shared emotion, shaking the very foundations of power.

[Assessment Complete. Activating Mutagen, Please Standby….] A normal day is suddenly turned on its head when a single voice utters those fateful words into the minds of every single soul on the planet.

General warning for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed, not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Other warnings for other issues, such as self harm or implications of sexual assault Will be provided at the start of the chapters, but even then they are just implied. Nothing explicit.
