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.

Legendary Trait unlocked: Deep-Lying Playmaker.」** From trialist to conquering the football world, every pack, every point, and every impossible moment building toward football immortality.

In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time.

As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities.

From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds.

She doesn’t even know I exist. To her, I’m just the guy who picks up her coffee at the café, the guy who runs errands, the guy who’s nowhere near her league. But then, everything changed. One day, out of nowhere, I’m granted a system. A tool that promises to transform my life. [Ding! New Mission: Seduce and Conquer a MILF – Reward: $10,000 + Charisma Skill Unlock] A MILF?

Behind the Wall, humanity lives on borrowed years. The calendar counts down. When it hits 0, the human world gets erased—no last stand, no second chance. The only way to buy time is to send crews through the Gates into the Beyond, a boundless outside world where air can turn to poison, distance can lie, and Conjuring Icons wear roles like masks—The Maid, The Painter, The Joker—each with rules that kill you faster than claws ever could. Hidden across that endless territory are Points, ancient structures that hold “years” inside their cores. Bring one back and the countdown jumps upward. Fail, and the world bleeds closer to doom.

And on their street, a loud, shameless priest named Link runs a small church and a stolen street sign—just a neighborhood clown… unless the laughter stops. Outside, power is real and unowned. You can earn it. You can steal it. You can become something that no longer fits inside the word “human.” Because in a world built on time debt, ownership ends here.

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.
