Cal Weston is a 50 year old otaku who wakes up one morning in the ripped, youthful body of James Kai, only to discover he’s been transmigrated into the world of Stupendous Comics, a chaotic universe filled with colorful heroes, over-the-top villains, and rival criminal syndicates. Dreaming of joining the ranks of legendary supervillains like Doctor Death, Cal is crushed to learn the truth: James isn’t a feared soldier of evil… He’s a henchman... for a D-list mobster who barely controls a street corner. Now stuck in the life of a bottom-tier villain goon with a ninja cult family, Cal must navigate superpowered turf wars, bizarre villain politics, uneven home-work life balance, and the unwritten rules of henchman survival, all while trying to avoid dying in a world where even minor superheroes can throw cars. With no superpowers, no cheat system, no past memories, and no plot armor, Cal must claw his way up the villain hierarchy from henchman to something greater… Or die trying.

Hundreds of years ago, the legendary Vampire Empress fell in a battle that reshaped the world. Myths, monsters, and magic vanished into obscurity, only remembered in the history and practices of secret mage societies. In the twenty-second century, humanity is recovering from a great calamity, unaware of the impending catastrophe on the horizon. Veri, a small, frail, and hopelessly delusional high school boy, dreams of a world filled with supernatural wonder. After noticing strange cracks that no one else can perceive, Veri's delusions become reality. As he wished, the paranormal inches into his life in the form of a revived crimson-haired beauty. Ultimately, the paranormal world is nothing like he'd envisioned. Faced against mages with otherworldly powers, unthinkably ancient entities, and ruthless sinners, how can this helpless boy protect what he cares for?

Determined to improve his family's reputation, Cyril Thorne entered a prestigious academy of magic, only to discover there was something wrong with him! Out of nowhere he began hearing a voice. To him, she spoke with warmth and affection but also with boundless arrogance, demeaning everyone else around him. Her presence boosted him to the top of the academy rankings, bringing with it many unexpected benefits, introspection included. She completely changed the course of his student life. However, the changes happening to Cyril might be more unfathomable than is visible on the surface. And in the Empire, a city where magic reigns supreme and demons are no longer the threat they once were, the unexplainable will not be tolerated.

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.

When I was 5 and mommy told me everything about my real fucking dad and it really breaks my heart anytime my ma'am and dad issue comes to my mind. My dad never wanted to take his responsibilities as a father. So, it was only my mother who was responsible for my whole life for the past years. "It is 14 years now, I have never seen my real dad. You know, it sometimes worries me a lot, but once I have mommy and Garriso around me, it makes me feel a little happier, but just that I miss my fucking dad. Mommy told me not to allow daddy to come near me or anywhere around me." "A few days ago, Mommy's cell phone rang for more than 1000 hours, but mommy didn't answer dad's call. That day, I got to know how much mommy hated hearing a word from my dad. But I don't know why my dad still wants his family back. After 14 years, daddy never wanted it, but now-- I think he needs us. Hmm mommy also feels the same worried as I used to but never wanted to talk about it, even to set her eyes to see Mr. Lucas, my real dad."

___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 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—who could rule this world—chooses 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. 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?

Some call me a genius. Some call me a billionaire. Some call me a philanthropist. Some whisper I’m a threat to the world. Some cheer I’m a savior. They’re all half right… and half wrong.

Welcome to my world. Care to keep up?

Ancient Truth (Prologue) Eons ago, Makasa, the Zodiac King, commanded all twelve celestial elements—Aries fire, Libra winds, Pisces tides—to keep the universe in balance. Then Kahos, an alien horror born from dark matter, attacked. Its only hunger: consume all matter. In a cataclysmic duel, Makasa banished Kahos to the farthest edge of existence… but paid with his life. His crown of stars shattered, and the prophecy was born: “Master the Zodiac energy, command your zodiac element, defeat Kahos, and find the masaka's shattered crown and rise as the new Zodiac King.” Present Day – Nigeria The sky fractures. Stars bleed. Reality warps. Kahos is crawling back. The Chosen David Adebiyi, 15, Lagos orphan, remembers nothing of his parents—only the scorpion pendant they left. Adopted by Chika, the flamboyant “greatest wizard of all time,” David learns the truth: he is Scorpio, one of twelve Zodiac Warriors awakening across Nigeria. Each carries a unique element and a piece of Makasa shattered crown.

In the spring of 2019, strange disappearances began sweeping through Japan. One by one, people vanished without a trace, and those who remained instantly forgot they had ever existed. But for some unknown reason, Yuki Ayano retained her memories. Over time, she awakened a powerful magic ability. It wasn’t a gift by any stretch of the imagination. It was a curse. A curse that tore through her soul like a plague, twisting her thoughts until she could no longer recognize herself. It reached the point where even her allies began to fear her. They kept their distance, knowing that when Yuki Ayano pointed her finger, no one could be certain who she was aiming at.

Victor Velegas’s first life ended in the worst possible way: caught in gang crossfire while locking up his workplace. It was the ultimate bad ending, which is exactly why Chronicle, the eternally-bored Guardian of the River of Time, and goddess of the Omniverse, found it so fascinating. As a hobby, this quirky goddess collects tragic stories. Victor’s was a top-tier entry. As a reward (or perhaps for her own amusement), she offers him a cosmic do-over with two wishes. Victor, not being a fool, goes for the ultimate power fantasy: the might of a Kryptonian and eternal youth. Perfect! What could possibly go wrong? What goes wrong is Chronicle’s idea of a bonus gift. With a fit of mischievous giggles, she adds a third, unasked-for power: the lustful bloodline and… ahem… talents of a Divine Incubus King. “This should definitely spice up your new life! Go get 'em, playboy!” she cheers, hurling him back to the time of his birth. His grand new life immediately derails upon birth as his passive, Divine Incubus King bloodline triggers a critical cutscene: he’s swarmed by every mother in the neighborhood, all cooing and fighting to spoil him. Trapped in an infinite swarm of cuddles and baby talk, he's spoiled rotten by an overly affectionate local Moms Club, all under the gleeful watch of a goddess who just loves to spice up her stories. Trapped in his mother’s lap as the center of a doting, squealing vortex of maternal estregen, he can only shoot a betrayed look at the heavens. "Goddess! You made me too OP!" Follow Victor’s quest to rewrite his tragic destiny, armed with enough power traverse the universe, but whose greatest challenge might just be surviving his own overwhelming… adorableness? All while a giggling goddess watches from the cosmos, endlessly entertained. Again, I ask! What could possibly go wrong? ●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●● This is basically a self-insert and wish fulfillment novel. If you don't like it, just don't read it. I really hate those people who every author knows that don't like the fucking free novel and give it a bad review. That's how I know who's fucking mentally developed. On that note, I'm obligated to state that any elements found in this story are fictional, and that any resemblance to any person, place, or event is entirely coincidental. I also don't own the cover art, so if the real owner requests it, I'll remove it. Please enjoy this novel. ~TMITM
