In the seemingly ordinary city of Arivon, five minutes of time mysteriously disappear every day at 3:17 PM — and no one remembers them. No clocks record it, no systems detect it, and life continues as if nothing ever happened. Only Aarav notices the missing time. As small disturbances begin to appear — repeated conversations, deleted alarms, and a cryptic message reading “Tomorrow Disabled” — he realizes that something is deliberately erasing moments from reality. While the entire city remains unaware, Aarav becomes the only witness to a hidden anomaly, forcing him to uncover who — or what — is controlling time before the city loses more than just minutes.

Full title: [The Knight’s Multiverse] - A Knight’s Journey: The journey of a cultivator in a superhuman’s modern world Author: This story has romance and cultivation elements, though the most important part of it is its characters. I strive to portray their doubts, worries and disappointments, along with their hopes, happiness and pride, as well as I can. Characters will learn, grow and bravely transcend their fears, all in the hope of being able to live freely alongside their loved ones. This is what I enjoy writing and I hope you will also enjoy reading it.    Synopsis: What happens after you die? This was a question that baffled many, with two mainstream thoughts battling each other: Religion with its Manichean division of Heaven and Hell and Science with its nihilistic approach of returning to the Universe as cosmic dust. Turned out Damian Knight, now Demian Mikhailov, discovered that none of those theories were actually true when his previous life’s memories awakened after being knocked out by a gangster’s heavy punch to the head. Now 18 years old with a deficient body, he will have to find a way to navigate this World’s deep waters, where Fighters with transcendent Physical Attributes were merely at the bottom of the power scale. From Intrinsic Superhumans to Elemental Cultivators, a single misstep and death could snatch him again, with everything he built in this new life disappearing as if a mere illusion. Fortunately, his Reincarnation came with three incredible gifts: an Equalized Adaptive Physiology Perk, a Soul Bond Perk, and a Soul Shield Perk. Armed with those three Perks, the young man will grow his personal strength to protect not only himself but also his Aunt, Adeliya, and his two older cousins, Brynhild and Seraphine from this World’s hidden forces, and with some luck it may even help him deal with those new and growing feelings birthed from the collision of his two lives. ‘Choices have consequences’. A story of tangled Reincarnations, Forbidden Love, and Cultivation to Immortality.

When the apocalypse arrives, he reverses time to repair the Dragon Veins and save the world. Li Mingzhen lived a quiet life of Daoist cultivation in the modern world, only to be forced awake by a devastating tragedy. After a century of solitude and a grueling thunder tribulation, he transcended mortality and became a True Immortal. Yet, eternal peace was denied him. He discovered a cruel truth: the world's Dragon Veins were snapping in 2088, plunging reality into inevitable destruction. To avert the apocalypse—and to mend the veins broken by human greed—Mingzhen makes the ultimate sacrifice. He relinquishes his True Immortal cultivation, carrying eight hundred years of wisdom and memory, and travels back in time to 1998, the very origin point of the world's decay.

Amid the chaos of this new world, one person awakened to a power no one else possessed: the ability to erase awakenings entirely. What right did he have to decide who deserved their power? That question, however, was the least of Logan Morris's worries; it was the least of his plans. But would the world allow an existence like his to live quietly, or would he find a way to make it work?

"Son, what's your plan after middle school?" Such a plan had never crossed Ryomen Sukuna's mind. What did he want in life? What kind of mark does he want to leave in this world? His father always asked him this question whenever he could, though Sukuna always never had an answer no matter how hard he tried. "How about heroics, son?" Oh, maybe there is one now. (No harem, only Mina Ashido the pinky queen) (shit romance btw) (Yes, Sukuna has jjk Sukuna's powers, it's all in one quirk) (no system) (This is just a story where he beats up bad guys, gets the girl and aura farms, not thought out at all. Tons of cliche stuff in here) (I'll probably get MHA: Vigilantes in here later) (This was never supposed to be a deep dark story or something, and I never really was a good author so read at your own risk.)
