In the fortified city-state of Changye, despite its reputation as one of the most undesirable places to live, individuals still have the opportunity to earn money and survive within its walls. However, everything changed after the Shanghai Risk Event, a catastrophic disaster caused by a reality warper that tore through Eurasia. This event unleashed a wave of anomalous phenomena and creatures, leading to the emergence of "Anoms" - anomalies capable of transforming objects, creatures, and even people into dangerous and unfamiliar entities. Within the confines of Changye, beneath the auspices of the Shichinin no Ken Association - an affiliate of the Otherside Bureau - lies a small office dedicated to finding and gathering information on these anomalies. This is the story of an Assistant who finds himself employed by an organization tasked with hunting down these anomalies and navigating the horrors that have become commonplace in this dystopian reality. This is a tale of a world plunged into darkness, where monsters, demons, cryptids, and anomalies roam freely, and how the people who inhabit it must confront unimaginable horrors as part of their daily existence.

The 21st century is the apogee of silent collapse. An era shaped by social anxiety, low self‑esteem, emotional fragility, chronic loneliness, identity loss, obsessive comparison, burnout, derealization, and a generation drowning under invisible pressure. Most people break quietly. A few break differently. In rare cases, a personal flaw grows so intense it twists perception itself — a Psych Break. David is one of them. A boy so insignificant he’s almost invisible. Ignored at school, forgotten at home, unnoticed in the crowd — until his flaw crosses the threshold.

His girlfriend of four years dumped him at the school gate for a fat, bald, middle-aged man driving a Mercedes-Benz.

Broke, heartbroken, and completely done with love, Marcus Cain walked away in shame. Then a cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind: [Divine Cashback System activated!] The rules were simple.

He spent three years killing people for money. Now his job is making sure nobody kills the girl dressed as a cat goddess. In the near future, mega-corporations have discovered that cosplayers are worth more than celebrities. The top performers live like idols — private jets, penthouse suites, merchandise deals worth more than small nations' GDPs. They also attract obsessive fans, corporate espionage, and occasionally, people with guns. Kai Reuben, 21, is the most capable person in any room he walks into and the most uncomfortable. Three years as a mercenary left him fluent in threat assessment, efficient in a fight, and completely unequipped for civilian life. Peacetime is loud. People's emotions are data he doesn't know how to file. He has constructed a pleasant face for public use and it has been stuck there ever since. He retired eight months ago because the world got too peaceful and his reputation got too large — other mercenaries couldn't beat him, so they started targeting the people near him instead. He walked away before anyone else got hurt. He has been trying to figure out what to do with himself ever since. He does not figure this out at a cosplay convention on a Saturday afternoon. What he does instead is deflect a bullet with a combat knife in front of thirty thousand live viewers, neutralise three armed assailants, critique the venue's west walkway security to the responding officers, and retrieve his cold brew. The clip hits one million views before midnight. The cosplay internet decides he's the most committed method actor they've ever seen. NovaCorp's Director Chantal decides something more accurate and makes a call. By Sunday morning, Kai Reuben has a new job he didn't ask for, a contract he probably should have read more carefully, and a problem he has absolutely no protocol for. PIXEL GUARD is a light novel in the action romantic comedy tradition — overpowered protagonist, genuine emotional stakes, and a harem that operates less like a competition and more like a slowly assembling disaster that Kai is professionally equipped to survive and personally entirely unprepared for. The action is real. The comedy is real. The feelings, which Kai has filed under pending further classification and fully intends to address at a later date, are very real. He is going to have to stop moving toward the threat eventually. He is not there yet.

# My Body Development System Won’t Stop Upgrading Me?! Dorian was perfectly fine being a campus menace. Okay — maybe not fine. He was tall, overweight, chronically insecure, and violently allergic to mirrors. But as long as he stayed at the top of the social food chain, nobody could laugh at him first. Then he stole the wrong wallet. Inside it was a ring. He put it on. And that was the worst decision of his life. > BDS ACTIVATED. > Host Status: Catastrophic. > Beginning emergency upgrades. Now Dorian has a system. A glow-up system. A body optimization system. A system that promises to turn him into the ultimate version of himself. There’s just one small problem. Every time he levels up: * He loses weight. * He gets more handsome. * His charisma increases. * And one very specific stat goes up by exactly one inch. It was funny at Level 1. Concerning at Level 3. Terrifying at Level 7. Now Dorian has a new problem: The more popular he becomes, the more attention he gets — and the more the system keeps rewarding him. And it won’t stop upgrading him. With jealous rivals, confused professors, accidental fan clubs, and a system that thinks “bigger is better” is a life philosophy— Dorian must decide: Does he stop leveling up… Or does he see how far this absurd evolution can go? > Warning: Overdevelopment may result in catastrophic consequences.

Kenzo is one such aspirant, desperate to survive in this brutal new world.

But today, the 55th official awakening ceremony could change everything. Inside the Tower of System, Kenzo’s world explodes into absurdity.

Now, armed with superhuman abilities, a chaotic mind, and a complicated love life, Kenzo must navigate dungeons, portals, and monsters while juggling the attention of multiple women—sometimes for fun, sometimes for advantage, always for chaos.

No escape.
