Live from Planet X: Gin Maximus When a god-tier warrior crashes into a hero-obsessed world, the cameras better be rolling. Gin Maximus was forged in a dimension of gods, monsters, and apocalyptic war—where strength was survival, and mastering different forms of techniques was the only way to live. He was the strongest of them all. But when a black hole tears through his final battlefield, Gin is flung into an unfamiliar world: Planet X. Here, heroes are influencers. Power is ranked, streamed, and monetized. Dungeons spawn from thin air, and adventurers race inside for glory and likes. At first, Gin tries to stay low, posing as a silent cameraman for rookie dungeon crawlers. But his instincts won't let him stand by—not when he sees real danger, corruption, and a rising threat that smells all too familiar. He teams up with Iwazumi, a 17-year-old caregiver whose dream was to be a hero like his idol, Prime. Though he never expected much, Iwazumi awakens a rare Pluse ability—Damage Transfer—which lets him absorb pain and help others heal. As Gin guides him from behind the lens, their unlikely duo begins to shake up the dungeon world. But secrets won’t stay buried. The Outer Eyes watching Gin from afar may not be as distant as they seem. And this time, the fight isn’t just for survival—it’s live.

If I could write the official handbook on how to avoid nightmares forever, I would. I'd even sell it at half price. Because seriously... who needs nightmares?! Life’s already hard enough to make grown men sob over late rent and existential crises. Sleep should be a reward. A pat on the back that says: "Hey champ, congrats on surviving another hell of a day. Now drift away while your dreams simulate the life you'll never have." But nope. Nightmares exist. And worse? My entire family manufactures them! I was supposed to escape that twisted fate. I had plans to join the Happydream Faction, spread serotonin, maybe craft a dream about a floating llama. But my mom—bless her manipulative soul—signed me up for Fearcraft Academy against my will. No permission. No banana milk bribe. Just pure betrayal. Now I’m stuck in this psychological theme park with other traumatized teens, being trained to craft terror. And don’t even get me started on our sponsors. A bunch of creepy entities from who-knows-where who stream human dreams like Netflix. They watch us. Rate us. Comment shit like: [ Delicious! This nightmare tasted like despair. I'm in love! ] And apparently, they pay in cosmic currency, depending on how disturbed your dreamer ends up. I mean, what?! Also, quick side note: My great ancestor, Magnus McTerror, once gave [redacted] a nightmare so vivid, it might’ve nudged mankind's global history toward disaster. So yeah. I’ve got historical trauma in my DNA. Yay me. Now toss in a roommate who laughs like he enjoys chaos for breakfast, teachers who casually talk about emotional collapse as homework, and a mandatory simulation test where we have to confront our greatest fear—or be demoted to the school’s fear kindergarten. I don't know how this is going to end. But if I have to learn how to weaponize memory, manipulate feelings, bend dream physics, and design nightmare avatars... Hahaha... I guess we'll both have to wait and see. . . . . . . . . . .

I was framed and thrown in prison! My honest, hardworking parents died tragically while seeking justice for me! After nineteen years of living an upright, law-abiding life, I finally see the true face of this world. "If others can kill and walk away free, why can't I?" "If others can treat human life as worthless, why can't I?" "If others can stand high above the others, why can't I?" "Since I have chosen this path, I will be more wicked than the wicked, more ruthless than the ruthless!" "I refuse to be second to anyone; I will only stand above all others!" "If I am to live, then I don't mind letting others die!"

But even they couldn’t ignore the wave that hit the school on their very first day — an unexpected moment that sent whispers flying again. At the center of it all? The same name. Daniel Carter.

Confronting them led to answers. Slowly, piece by piece, they began to understand who Daniel really was.

What if money was power? What if capital was magical? What if income was cultivation? What if a young man decided to destroy this unjust world of inequality and build a better one? That was exactly what Cæ (Cash) sought to do amid grief, anger, and hatred when he lost everything in an accident. Having come from nothing in the slums, his only goal had been to live a good life. By the age of twenty-two, he had finally managed to pull himself out of poverty with a decent job and romance. And then he lost everything he had ever built in an accident that left him in a coma for half a year. The world deprived him of the only person he had truly come to love. The predatory healthcare system burdened him with debt. The corrupt justice system deprived him of justice. The financial system robbed him of everything he owned. For the second time in his life, Cæ had been left with nothing. Well, almost nothing. The accident and the ensuing coma had altered his brain and mind, giving him an extraordinary talent for cultivating and mastering magic. He had been blessed with Acquired Savant Syndrome, a medical condition so rare that there were very few instances of it ever having occurred in history. It gave him endless potential and remarkable power. It gave him the power to destroy the world that he hated from the bottom of his heart. It gave him the power to destroy it and build a better one. And that was exactly what Cæ set out to do.

The world is normally filled with monster tamers or plainfolk. The difference between them is mana. The higher the mana reserves, the higher the potential to form a contract with even magical beasts. Of course, they can only hold one contract for one beast, regardless of their mana. The monster tamers are basically invincible because, depending on their mana reserves, they can merely redirect the damage done to their bodies to their familiars. Even death can be automatically transferred to their monster companion. In such a world, there are those who were born with mana but cannot form any contract with the monster. Unlike tamers, they don't have any support from any monster or have another life, but they have the ability to manipulate their mana to bring it out and form their own techniques. These people are called Hunters. The tamers and the hunters were always at odds with each other. Lin Fang is a pet shop owner who sells food for the monsters. He is a plainfolk who inherited the store after the death of his father. His mother remarried someone else and shifted to her new husband’s home after giving the house to Lin Fang. Lin Fang had an elder sister, a monster hunter who is one of the strongest individuals in Huaxi City, but left abroad to accept an offer from a company a decade ago. Since then, she has never returned and rarely speaks to him, even on the phone. After his graduation from high school, Lin Fang received a system as part of the inheritance. Using the system, he hoped to revive the store his family ran for years. Taking loans from putting the house on mortgage, alongside the pet food, Lin Fang started selling the monster eggs given for free by the system, hired a monster trainer to train the monsters, etc… After 7 years, he finally sells the 1000 eggs initially given by the system and unlocks the summoner system, becoming a summoner and a monster egg seller. On weekdays, he sells monster eggs to earn money, and on weekends, he becomes a summoner who controls an army of monsters to take down dungeons, fight a beast horde, explore the hidden worlds, and do much more. This is the story of Lin Fang, the only summoner in a world filled with monster tamers and Hunters.
