In a world where anyone can receive superpowers—called *boosts*—one boy stands out for all the wrong reasons: he doesn't have one. Ulim has spent his whole life surrounded by classmates discovering incredible abilities, while he remains the only true anomaly... or so he thinks. After a strange incident during a routine school field trip, Ulim begins experiencing bizarre and unexplainable events. Powers? Curses? Something in between? As reality begins to blur and danger creeps closer, Ulim must navigate a world where not having a boost made him invisible—but what’s happening now may make him a target. Join Ulim on a journey filled with mystery, rivalry, dark secrets, and a discovery that might shake the foundation of the boosted world forever.

After a mysterious reverse-isekai event, legendary heroes, the Demon King, and his generals find themselves trapped in the modern world—with no magic, no kingdoms, and no epic quests. To survive, they must work part-time at a 24-hour convenience store, living together in a cramped apartment above it. From drunk heroes fumbling stock shelves to the assassin elf Bella navigating late-night horrors, the party struggles with mundane tasks while their past lives bleed into reality through a bizarre gacha game. The Demon King buys cup noodles, generals discover ecchi anime, and Nyx’s pranks constantly test everyone’s patience. Late-night shifts turn terrifying, imaginary Stand battles break out in the aisles, and the line between fantasy and retail chaos blurs. It’s a story where legendary warriors trade swords for brooms, monsters for snacks, and epic destiny for the daily grind—all while discovering that surviving the modern world is sometimes harder than saving it.

(AKA: Skip this and the book will swallow you up) Okay, fine. The book won’t actually swallow you. Probably. I’m not making any promises. But before you scroll past, you should know this story doesn’t start with heroes — it starts with change. When the clock of the twentieth century struck, humanity changed. Every person born after manifested a Spark — a summoned existence tied to them alone, one that would define their place in the world. Dragons. Beasts. Demigods. Legends drawn from myth, unknown worlds, and history itself. World peace collapsed almost immediately. Nations no longer stood on armies or borders, but on what their people could summon. Governments fell. Wars followed. Strange phenomena reshaped the planet. Entire cities vanished under forces no one truly understood. From the ashes, Sectors were formed — fortified regions built by survivors, humanity’s final attempt at order, upheld by powers no one dared challenge. By 2026, life is stable again. Not peaceful — just managed. Every Sector trains its youth like inventory. Every Spark is inspected, evaluated, and stamped with a role. Strength is logged. Potential is projected. Kael belongs to Sector Denab. Academy records list him as support-tier — the kind of human better suited for labor details than combat reports. Useful to the Sector. Forgettable to everyone else. His Spark, Oguri Cap, is categorized as an athletic demihuman. Kael doesn’t argue with the assessment. Being underestimated isn’t flattering — but it’s safe. And safety means time. What the evaluations don’t account for is that Kael’s Spark doesn’t behave like the others. Kael notices. And with the Qlipoth Game that decides the economy of every sector coming, He isn’t chasing glory. He isn’t trying to prove anything. He just wants to survive. To win enough that he never has to worry again. To secure a life where one unlucky assignment or one wrong day doesn’t decide whether he eats, works himself to death, or gets sent somewhere dangerous. The path ahead won’t stay simple. More summons will come. Stronger, stranger, harder to explain. Alliances will form — some of them dangerously close. Attention will follow, whether Kael wants it or not. But whatever grows around him, this isn’t a story about conquest or collection. Romance is a distant possibility. Certainty is not. For now, staying underestimated is fine. Being labeled support keeps him alive. Everyone else summons legends. Kael summons horse girls. For now, that difference is all he has.

Reborn at the dawn of China’s mobile internet boom, Chen Yansen awakens the Flame of Godhood System—a mysterious power hidden in a fully modern, scientific world.

By his mid-twenties, he commands a global empire, millions of employees, and unimaginable wealth. In a modern world racing to innovate, Chen Yansen proves one truth: with the right system—and the right people—becoming a god is just extreme management.

I. SYNOPSIS & BLURB ​The Blurb: Dante "The Raptor" Moretti doesn't just rule the underworld; he owns the air above it. As the Lord of the Sky, he runs the most sophisticated aerial drug-smuggling operation in history. As the Lord of the Streets, he controls the shadow economy of every borough in New York. ​When a rival Mexican cartel moves into his territory, Dante orchestrates a series of brutal heists, snatching their supply mid-air and leaving a trail of brass and blood behind. But the game changes when he kidnaps Bianca Valli, the daughter of a rival Don, intending to use her as a pawn—only to find that she is the only person capable of seeing the man behind the monster. In a world of kidnap, betrayal, and high-speed carnage, Dante must decide if he wants to keep his crown or the woman who makes him want to burn it all down.

In a world where human misery manifests as bone-chilling nightmares and every ounce of power demands a brutal sacrifice, Kaito Sora is the ultimate anomaly. After a sudden, jarring death, he awakens in the damp alleyways of Tokyo, housed in a new body that commands attention—a sixteen-year-old towering at six-foot-four with piercing storm-grey eyes and a crown of messy blonde hair. He has been thrust into the heart of the Jujutsu Kaisen world, but he hasn't come empty-handed. Bound to his soul is the Akashic Sign-In System, a celestial interface that rewards him with the legendary techniques and abilities of other realities simply for being in the right place at the time of destiny. While the sorcerers of this era bind themselves with restrictive vows and risk their lives for a shred of cursed energy, Kaito begins his journey playing by a different set of rules. From the precognition of Observation Haki to the untraceable speed of the Flash Step, his arsenal grows with every landmark he visits and every tragedy he prevents. However, the true terror of his potential lies behind a massive, rusted golden seal deep within his psyche: Genesis. It is a dormant, absolute power that promises the ability to rewrite the laws of existence and create new techniques from nothingness, free from the recoil and drawbacks that plague even the strongest sorcerers. Spotted by Gojo Satoru and brought into the fold of Jujutsu High, Kaito must navigate the treacherous politics of the sorcery world and the looming shadow of the Shibuya Incident. He starts as a talented rookie with "foreign" tricks, struggling to keep his secrets while forging bonds with classmates who become his anchor in this dark reality. But as he completes the mysterious quests required to shatter the seal of Genesis, the balance of the world begins to tilt. Kaito Sora isn't just here to survive the coming war; he is here to dismantle the cycle of curses and stand as the sovereign architect of a new age, where the "Honored One" is no longer the only one standing at the top.

He spent eleven years wandering from club to club and bench to bench as a bench warmer in Indonesia's second-tier league, chasing a dream that had long since given up on him.

In a world where abilities are common and survival is not, power decides who gets remembered—and who gets buried early. Daiso Reveles is weak. Born with a teleportation ability, he isn’t the fastest, strongest, or most gifted among the children drafted into squads that fight humanity’s wars. Every jump hurts. Every mistake costs lives. While bloodline prodigies rise and legends are born, Daiso learns something else: How to arrive first. How to stay when others retreat. How to choose people over outcomes. As the world escalates toward open conflict—villains evolving, cities collapsing, and observers refusing to intervene—Daiso becomes a quiet constant in battles that shouldn’t be survivable. He is never meant to be the strongest. He is meant to be remembered. Stillness, Before It Breaks is a dark action series about potential, consequence, and what it costs to hold the line when the world keeps moving forward.

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline!

At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?"

The world didn’t end in fire. It tore. A Nexus experiment meant to study dimensional energy instead punched a hole through reality, unleashing Rifts, monsters, and mana into a modern world that had no defenses—and no second chances. Two months later, humanity is still standing. Barely. Quinn was supposed to be ordinary. Quiet. Observant. But exposure to the Nexus explosion changed him. He can feel mana—not as power, but as presence. Flow. Pressure. A language the world itself seems to speak.all thanks to the system he awakened amidst the Apocalypse. Riley survived the same disaster with no such sensitivity. No whispers of energy. No control over mana. Instead, his body adapted—stronger, faster, tougher—refined by pain, momentum, and instinct. Recruited into a Nexus training facility designed to forge weapons rather than heroes, they’re thrown into a brutal two-year training program alongside other survivors—some gifted, some altered, some already ranked far above them. Here, strength is measured. Growth is earned. And failure is fatal. As humanity regroups and fights back against increasingly dangerous Rift beasts, Quinn must learn to integrate a mysterious System that tracks—and judges—his evolution, while Riley is pushed to physical limits that threaten to tear him apart before he can surpass them. Rivals rise. Instructors test them. The gap between survival and supremacy grows razor-thin. As they climb the ranks. By the end of the training, only one thing is certain: The next wave would be filled with a threat greater than the monsters from the Rift and it won’t just test humanity’s resolve. It will decide who stands at the front when the world breaks again.

And for the first time, the numbers refuse to make the decision for him. The Last Override is a grounded sci-fi one-shot about power, responsibility, and the weight of choosing what the world gets to keep.
