“You’ve probably seen this play out a thousand times. Some guy dies, gets reincarnated, and is immediately bestowed a System or a Cheat on Day 1. I, sadly, was not afforded the same luxury. All I got was a Bat-themed mentor and the vile Essence of a Demon flowing through my veins... Lucky me?"

He did not want to be remembered. He only wanted to disappear. Utsu Enzu spent twenty-three years learning to make himself smaller — smaller than the Osaka apartment where his family's warmth went cold, smaller than the Tokyo desk where a supervisor's voice carved out whatever was left, smaller than the four-point-two tatami mats he measured one sleepless November night because there was nothing else to do with a mind that had already decided. He died quietly, without a note, without a name left on anyone's lips that would take long to stop being said. He woke up screaming in 1865. Six years old. American frontier. Dirt under his hands and a sun that had never once been that honest about itself. A new name — Yasei Nishi — and a new mother who held his face in warm hands and a new father who passed him bread across a lamplight table, and for one impossible year the machinery inside him that had been rusting since he was eleven began, slowly, to turn. Then the sheriff came. Two gunshots. Clean and unhurried. And Yasei Nishi crawled out of a cellar at age seven and made a decision as cold and absolute as anything Utsu Enzu ever made — only this one pointed outward. FOOLISH WESTER is the brutal, heartbreaking, and extraordinary story of what follows. Of six years surviving the American frontier alone — stealing, bleeding, teaching himself to shoot in the dark before dawn. Of a kid who did not want a name becoming a legend across territory he never intended to inhabit. Of four broken children — Wyatt, Rion, Aran, Ken — who refuse to be left behind no matter how hard he walks. Of a corrupt sheriff who has never once lost sleep. Of a fifteen-year-old kid with a ledger and unsteady hands who has been filing terrible things away for years and cannot do it anymore. It is not a story about healing. It is not a story about easy redemption or the small truths of the wild west or the comfort of a second chance. It is a story about what depression does to a person across two entire lifetimes. About revenge and its hollow, costly promise. About five children in a dangerous era learning that survival alone was never the point. The west does not care about your pain. But the people riding beside you might. RATED MA21+

いつも一人で (Itsumo hitori de - Always Alone) Series Description RATED: MA18+ | 14 Episodes | Supernatural Tragedy In a Tokyo drowning beneath endless rain, two souls exist in parallel hells separated by death itself. Seishin Hōrō-sha dies at fifteen—broken, abandoned, worthless. A truck crushes him on rain-slicked streets after years of bullying, family betrayal, and abuse. Death brings no peace. Ancient folklore condemns him: souls without purpose cannot ascend. Trapped as a wandering spirit, invisible and voiceless, Seishin watches his mother die, his siblings—Daiki, Hana, Kaito, Yukimira, Mei-Suke, Rikunuke, Sorana—scatter into crime and forgetting. None mourn him. The promises they made as children mean nothing now. For two years he drifts, purposeless, fading. Then he sees Ritchi Utsu. Five years old. Wealthy. Suffering behind closed doors in ways that mirror Seishin's own hell. "Independence training" that's systematic torture. Parents demanding perfection, punishing with cruelty. A life of isolation and psychological destruction masked by privilege. Seishin recognizes himself. Feels purpose for the first time since death. For ten years he watches, unable to intervene as Ritchi endures beatings, assault, suicide attempts. A ghost bearing witness to suffering he cannot prevent—until rain changes everything. During storms, barriers thin. Seishin manifests briefly, leaving messages in fog, reaching Ritchi for seconds that prove he's not alone. Their connection deepens. Seishin becomes the invisible guardian, the one constant. But spirits fade. His time is ending. The final year brings violence and desperate choices. Ritchi must survive without his ghost. During one last storm, Ritchi sees Seishin's face, remembers the teenager who walked into traffic ten years ago, recognizes their intertwined fates. Their goodbye transcends death itself. - "The rain remembers everything we try to forget."

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them. Fortunately, beings from another world lent their power to humans in the form of avatars. Every human would awaken an avatar and use its power to grow stronger and fight against the beasts. Yet Auric found himself unable to awaken a single avatar. An avatar wasn’t supposed to leave the body of its partner, but his father’s avatar—the black dragon—mysteriously appeared before him, unraveling a series of secrets he had never known before. Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

Li Tang was reborn on the eve of the new millennium. He knew the trajectory of the mining market over the next twenty years, had the coordinates of every newly discovered supermine, and understood the intricate details of century-defining mergers between mining giants. While experts lamented that all the rich mines were in the hands of major players and that the giants were troubled by aging and depleting resources, turning from exploration to ruthless corporate takeovers... A group from the East kept working miracles—discovering deeply buried, shockingly rich mineral deposits again and again. From scorching deserts, frozen Arctic lands, and uninhabited primeval forests, they extracted tons of ore. Fully loaded cargo ships, the industrial lifeline, thundered across the seas toward the East. He had advanced exploration technology, wielded capital like a club, and maneuvered deftly through complex global politics—completely disrupting the mining industry's global landscape. When he speaks, the world listens. One foreign mining analyst exclaimed: “He is already the sole mining oligarch on Earth!” Thank you for the support, friends.

___Lost notes___ In the former Principality of Concord, UltraMan is a living legend... the world’s strongest hero, invincible and untouchable. For a decade, he’s crushed mafias, dismantled conspiracies, and stomped alien invasions underfoot. An unstoppable force with skin that no weapon can pierce and strength that outshines ancient myths. Everyone fears him. Everyone reveres him. But no one knows why a god like him, a man who could rule this world... why would he choose to protect it instead? That’s not the question I’m asking. Because UltraMan is gone. Vanished without trace. And I’m the one who made it happen. I don’t say this lightly. The world depends on him, but the world is broken in ways power alone can’t fix. There are some things you simply can't punch away. I’m just trying to survive. If the balance falls apart, what remains? The streets, the lies, the shadows? How do you live when there’s no 'UltraMan' to save the world? And what happens if you are the one who took him away? _____ Due to the many locations to keep track of, I placed a map in the comments of chapter one and 35. Hope you like the novel!

Just another football fanfic *** Actually it isn't. 1. The MC is of Chinese origin, nothing can be done about it, if it turns you off then it's your loss. 2.
