Sixteen-year-old Zero is struggling to survive in the Gray Zone—the lawless wasteland between two warring empires. Born Veidonian but marked with an Empyreal symbol he can't use, he's hated by both sides and surviving on borrowed time. But Zero refuses to die forgotten. When he meets Vex, a mysterious swordswoman with deadly skills and darker secrets, she offers him one chance: become strong enough to matter in a world where only power speaks. In a land where two hundred years of war has made strength the only law, Zero will carve his name into history—or die trying.

Lee Minho...rather…Shuu Kuhabara isn’t simple trash-he’s the finest-looking trash the underworld has ever produced. The kind of trash even enemies hesitate to touch, not out of mercy, but because they’re terrified of being blamed for damaging that flawless face. That is… until he opens his mouth. That is when all hell lets loose. So naturally, when the mafia needs someone to infiltrate the entertainment industry to hunt down a target who fled into the world of idols and cameras, there’s only one person fit for the job. Shuu is “graciously” chosen by his kind and caring Nee-san-the queen of the underworld and its iron-fisted ruler. His mission is simple: bring the target back alive. Getting himself high enough on the idol ladder to complete that mission? That’s the part that might just kill him. However, Shuu has an even bigger secret....he has had a system since birth, constantly telling him that he must become the top entertainer if he wants to uncover the truth behind his origins. A former entertainer-turned-gangster has no desire to step into a world that has abandoned him. But he might not have another choice if he wants to know the reason behind his rebirth…and more importantly, his death. __________ This will be reposted in WSA. No romance, no FL, no harem...etc.

Kai Suzuki, an eighteen-year-old with the facade of an innocent, lazy scholar, harbors a dark secret: he's a master manipulator. unexpectedly, he dies(yes he does). But instead of an afterlife, Kai finds himself inexplicably rewound in time, back to the tender age of eight. Gifted with a second chance, and armed with the sharp, cynical mind of his future self, Kai sees not a fresh start, but an opportunity to rectify perceived injustices and exert control over his world. His past life, he now realizes, was one of wasted potential, particularly in the realm of social connections and romantic pursuits where he felt perpetually on the outside. This time, things will be different. Driven by a chilling conviction, Kai embraces the controversial concept of "NTR" – not as a victim, but as the architect. With his innocent charm and preternatural understanding of human psychology, he begins to weave a sinister web. He'll subtly influence, skillfully charm, and strategically undermine relationships around him, aiming to reclaim the affections of girls he desires, or simply to prove his dominance by orchestrating the downfall of burgeoning romances.

He didn't even bat his eyes after getting the system that would help him become the best chess player in the world. No, it is better to work in a food stall and earn money honestly.

Well... let's just say the school has a few "Unusual" surprises up its sleeve more than Kenji could ever guess.
