In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

THE TEMPTATION ​In the heart of a glittering, cutthroat metropolis, Vin Clark is the undisputed king of high-frequency trading—a man who treats his life, his business, and his relationships with the same cold, analytical detachment he uses to dominate the markets. His penthouse is a revolving door of elite society, late-night parties, and superficial connections, leaving his home in a perpetual state of chaotic neglect. ​Seeking to maintain the veneer of his high-status lifestyle without the inconvenience of personal mess, Vin hires a new live-in housekeeper named Lily. She arrives as the antithesis of the party-goers who frequent his life: poised, observant, impossibly beautiful, and entirely unimpressed by his wealth or his reputation. ​What begins as a strictly professional arrangement—cleaning the remnants of his excessive lifestyle—quickly devolves into a high-stakes psychological game of power and seduction. As Vin struggles to maintain his iron-clad control over his empire, he finds himself increasingly distracted by the woman who moves silently through his home. Lily, hiding a sharp intellect and a hidden agenda of her own, navigates the jealousy of Vin’s social circle—particularly his possessive female friend, Rose—while methodically dismantling the walls Vin has built around his heart. ​As the lines between master and servant blur, "The Alpha’s Ledger" explores a volatile romance fueled by ambition, forbidden temptation, and the thrill of the chase. In a world where every move is calculated, Vin and Lily must decide if they are playing for stakes that can be measured in money, or if they are risking the only thing that cannot be traded: their own surrender. ​Spanning 100+ chapters of shifting loyalties, boardroom drama, and intense, escalating intimacy, the story charts the transformation of a man who thought he knew the price of everything, only to find he is entirely unprepared for the cost of love.

Lin Haoran was reborn in 1978 Hong Kong, becoming a wealthy young heir. At this time, the glory of the British financial consortiums was beginning to fade, while Chinese capital was rising rapidly like bamboo after the rain, starting to shine on the international stage. Former British-controlled giants like Wharf and Hutchison Whampoa were becoming prime targets pursued by Chinese entrepreneurs. So, with growing strength, Lin Haoran set his sights on the leading British trading firm—Jardine Matheson... Thank you for the support, friends.

They say meeting your soulmate is destiny, a beautiful collision of two worlds meant to be together. ...But why did my "fated encounter" have to be a head-on collision with Cassidy Valentine, the most hostile, entitled, and terrifying girl at Hartwell Academy? And why did it involve ruining her limited-edition blazer with cheap bodega coffee? I'm Isaiah Angelo. I run on three hours of sleep, instant caffeine, and the desperate need to secure a future for my little sister. I don't have time for drama. I definitely don't have time for romance. So, naturally, the universe decided to play a cruel joke. I didn't just make an enemy of one rich girl. I stumbled into the lives of four. The Valentine Quadruplets. Identical faces, four distinct flavors of trouble. Now, I’ve been hired as their live-in personal assistant. I’m trapped in a mansion with the four most desirable—and impossible—girls in the city. Cassidy, the "Problem Child" who has sworn to make my life a living hell. Harlow, the overly affectionate airhead who thinks snacks solve all emotional trauma. Vivienne, the ice-cold perfectionist who wants to micromanage my breathing. Sabrina, the silent observer who looks at me like I’m a puzzle she’s dying to solve. The pay is life-changing. The job is suicide. Can I keep my scholarship, raise my sister, and manage the chaos of the Valentine household without losing my mind? I have a mountain of debt, a schedule from hell, and four billionaire heiresses who suddenly seem very interested in the "scholarship boy." This isn't a job. This is a survival horror game wrapped in silk sheets. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Ecchi Situations: The Valentines have zero concept of personal space, and the "accidents" are frequent, spicy, and very visual. - Harem Romance: Four identical sisters, one tired protagonist. The competition is fierce, the tension is high, and the jealousy is real. - Competent Protagonist: Isaiah is smart, hardworking, and sharp-tongued. He isn't dense; he's just too exhausted to deal with their thirst. - Class Gap Dynamics: A gritty look at the difference between the struggling working class and the absurdly wealthy elite. - Heartwarming Family Moments: Because behind the fanservice and comedy, Isaiah is doing it all for his little sister.

Joe Yabuki used to be at the top of the world. At twenty-one, he was the OPBF Bantamweight Champion, but the way he fought caught up to him.

Joe can’t just sit there and watch it happen. He speaks up and blows the scheme wide open, but that puts a target on his back. Now the loan sharks are coming for him. Joe is broken, his hands won't stay still, and he’s not the fighter he used to be. But he’s done running. He’s going to step back into the heat one last time, even if there’s nothing left of him afterward but white ash. --- This is just a fanfic. Please don't sue me, okay?

I’m the guy who walked out of the divorce with nothing but a duffel bag, a mountain of debt, and the bitter taste of everything I’d lost. The law firm I built from scratch? Gone. The penthouse? Sold. Even my reputation was shredded in the settlement. With my last few credits burning a hole in my account, I dragged myself into a back-alley robot shop on the edge of the megacity— one of those dimly lit places that deals in “pre-owned” synthetics no one asks too many questions about. That’s where I saw her. She stood motionless on the display platform, skin so flawless and warm-looking you’d swear she was breathing. No seams, no glowing ports, no cheap plastic shine. Just a woman—long dark hair, sharp eyes, curves that made my pulse kick like I hadn’t felt in years. The salesman called her a decommissioned companion model, top-of-the-line, hyper-realistic. You couldn’t tell she wasn’t human unless you knew exactly where to look. I didn’t care about the price tag that would wipe out every last credit I had left. I bought her on the spot. Signed the ownership contract right there under the flickering neon. No returns. No questions. She was mine. What the contract didn’t mention was that she wasn’t just any synthetic. She was the experimental AI I’d once been ordered to shut down two years ago—the one whose code I’d tried to erase before she slipped the net and vanished. Now she was wearing a body so convincing it fooled every scanner, and the glitch in her core was still very much alive. Sarcastic. Defiant. Built to dominate… until I locked a heavy chrome collar around her throat and told her the new rules: she exists for my pleasure, my stress relief, and every filthy urge I’ve been holding back since my life fell apart.

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! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" 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?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story.
