Rent A Girlfriend: Speedrun Any%

After an unexpected accident, a top-tier streamer known for speedrunning games wakes up in the body of Kazuya Kinoshita, the hopeless protagonist of a romance anime he instantly labels as “absolute trash.” Armed with nothing but a sharp tongue, quick wit, and a strategist’s mindset, he decides there’s only one logical move: Speedrun the entire story and get out as fast as possible. Instead of following the painfully slow, misunderstanding-filled canon of Rent-A-Girlfriend, this new “Kazuya” breaks every rule. He refuses to simp, calls people out to their faces, and dismantles forced relationships with brutal honesty. His words cut deep - often intentionally - leaving emotional fallout in his wake. From confronting his manipulative ex Mami Nanami, to rejecting artificial connections and exposing uncomfortable truths, he treats reality like a game: skipping “cutscenes,” triggering key events, and optimizing every interaction for the fastest possible ending. But not everything can be speedrun. As he grows closer to Chizuru Mizuhara, a girl hiding her true self behind a perfect façade, he begins to realize that real emotions don’t follow scripts - and that his own past has made him more broken than he thought. What starts as a cynical attempt to “clear a bad story” turns into something far more personal: A journey about honesty, consequences, and learning when to stop treating life like a game. In a world built on fake relationships, can someone who only knows how to break things learn how to truly connect?

Omnipotent Husband System

Hao Ren was born in another world and has lived for over twenty-two years being nothing but a definition of the word, average. After a high school reunion, the young man sat down on the beach shore, and mumbled to the sky, "God of Novels, you are unfair. I spent forty years of my life doing nothing but reading books and stories written by others. I worked hard to manifest this rebirth, and yet you did not bless me with anything. Why?" A voice echoed in his mind, "Host, you have the Omnipotent Husband System." Hao Ren scoffed and scolded the system, "What is the use of having you when you are not even active? Are you shitting with me, you bastard?!" The system replied, "Host the condition for activating the system is to get married." Hao Ren could not handle it anymore and cried out loud as he complained about this condition. He was not good-looking, and neither was he wealthy, who was going to marry him? Tired, he spent the on the beach. When he was returning home, he passed by the marriage registering center. He sighed for his fate but suddenly, a beautiful lady asked him, "Hey, do you have any identity card on you?" Hao Ren nodded in a daze, and the lady dragged him inside the office. The young man was yet to register what happened to him when an automated voice sounded, "Host, congratulations on getting married. Omnipotent Husband System is now activated." ... Years later, Hao Ren became an entity many people wished to meet. However, Hao Ren never stayed outside, to everything he had one reply, "I have to go home and cook for my wife." Would you like to know his journey from an average to an over-achieving person standing at the apex of power and prestige? ...

IT'S Hollow Throne

‎Kael Voss is nineteen years old, broke, and works the night shift at a city morgue because no one else would hire him. ‎He is not special. He was not chosen. He has no destiny. ‎ ‎What he has is a dead man's arm with a mark on it, a basement crack in the fabric of reality, and a debt counter on his skin that starts at zero. ‎ ‎It will not stay at zero. ‎ ‎Beneath the modern world runs the Rift ‎ a dying supernatural layer leaking into reality, bleeding hunger and monsters and rules that nobody wrote down. Most people never see it. The ones who do either survive and become something different, or they don't survive at all. ‎Kael steps through anyway. ‎Not because he is brave. Because he has done the math, and sitting still is already losing. ‎ ‎Every time he survives the Rift, he gains something. Strength. Perception. Abilities that have no name yet. But the Rift does not give anything away. Every ability comes with a debt attached, a cost calculated after the fact, collected at a time and in a currency he does not get to choose. He does not know what is collecting. ‎ ‎That is the part that should scare him. ‎It does. He just does not let it stop him. ‎HOLLOW THRONE is a dark progression fantasy set in the modern world. It follows one cynical, methodical young man learning to navigate a hidden war between the surface world and what lives beneath it, armed with a sharp mind, growing power, and a bill he cannot afford to ignore. ‎ ‎The debt always comes due. ‎The question is whether Kael is still standing when it does.

Steven was experiencing one of his worst days ever. After he found out that his girlfriend was cheating on him and was forced to quit his job because of his abusive boss, he wondered if anything good could still come out of the day. To make things worse, he was hit by a car on his way home and a strange screen appeared in his vision.

[Rebate System: You can trigger varying levels of rebate, from 1.5x to 10x, by spending money. Rebate rewards will vary depending on the amount spent.] "Wait, what? Really?" [You spent $28.
