Mankind in its present state has been around for a quarter of a million years, yet only the last 4,000 have been of any significance. So, what did we do for nearly 250,000 years? We huddled in caves and around small fires, fearful of the things that we didn't understand. It was more than explaining why the sun came up, it was the mystery of enormous birds with heads of men and rocks that came to life. So we called them 'gods' and 'demons', begged them to spare us, and prayed for salvation. In time, their numbers dwindled and ours rose. The world began to make more sense when there were fewer things to fear, yet the unexplained can never truly go away, as if the universe demands the absurd and impossible. Mankind must not go back to hiding in fear. No one else will protect us, and we must stand up for ourselves. While the rest of mankind dwells in the light, we must stand in the darkness to fight it, contain it, and shield it from the eyes of the public, so that others may live in a sane and normal world. We secure. We contain. We protect. — The Administrator

After the death of her parents, Grace built her life on duty, silence, and strength. But as she nears the throne, whispers of the past begin to surface— dark, persistent, and impossible to ignore. A secret long buried now claws its way into the light, threatening to unravel everything she thought she knew about her blood, her family… and herself. As deception coils around her and every truth turns to ash, Grace must face a haunting choice: protect the lie that keeps her kingdom safe, or uncover the truth that could destroy it— and her along with it.

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

Levi Larson wakes from the same nightmare: his parents slaughtered, his eyes ripped from their sockets. The Nightcrawlers tormenting him offer revenge. All he has to do is sign a Sleepwalker contract surrendering his body. He refuses. He wants his eyes back and his parents avenged, and he does not believe these creatures can deliver either. When Nightcrawlers invaded Earth, holy pillars descended over a thousand cities, creating sanctuaries where humanity could survive. But even there, humans remain vulnerable in their sleep. The genetically gifted humans negotiate partnerships with the nightcrawlers, gaining monstrous abilities and a path to evolution in exchange for the sunlight they absorb, while retaining control of themselves. These humans become Daywalkers. Levi needs to become one. But blindness makes him a poor partner: he cannot absorb sunlight efficiently, leaving him little to offer a Nightcrawler. In his most desperate moment, a Nightcrawler offers him a Daywalker contract. Levi accepts. Only after signing does he learn the price. His contracted nightcrawler’s evolutionary path has killed every partner who attempted it. Now Levi must find the solution they all died searching for.

They thought they were logging into the ultimate sci-fi VRMMO. They had no idea they were the unwitting champions of a starving, newborn Chaos God. [Welcome to Epoch 40k: Mecha] The developers promised glorious mechas, interstellar colonization, and a grand sci-fi epic. Instead, players are dumped into a rotting nightmare where the tutorial involves dodging Ork raiding parties for scrap metal, and the local NPCs chant religious litanies just to repair a rusty tractor. Behind the curtain, however, a newly awakened Chaos God named Lucian Sanctus is desperately pulling the strings. Sitting at the absolute bottom of the Warp's food chain, Lucian needs to harvest emotional energy to survive. But feeding openly means drawing the ire of the established Chaos Gods—especially Slaanesh, as he knows she would love nothing more than to devour a fledgling deity before he can become a threat. His brilliant, desperate solution? Summon gamers from Earth. By disguising a grim, unforgiving reality as a virtual sandbox, Lucian can safely gorge himself on their gamer rage, triumph, and gacha-induced despair without the Emperor or the Chaos Gods noticing a thing. Armed with a total disregard for their own lives, a terrifying penchant for exploiting bugs, and a deeply questionable moral compass, these "players" have formed the Red Dawn guild. The galaxy might be a decaying cesspit, but they have sworn to fix it... or accidentally establish a brand-new galactic empire trying.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Under the sun, the world is not as it seems. Underneath what was presumed to be the truth lies a long-forgotten history of the world. Janus, an ordinary man, is haunted by a realistic recurring nightmare of a ruined world run by bloodthirsty beasts and beings that far exceed human imagination. He jolts awake as he crashes onto the floor, memories of the nightmare flooding into his mind. "It's... it's just a dream," he consoles himself, but the thick darkness of his room offers no comfort. His body shakes violently. The line between dreams and reality slowly begins to blur. Two worlds begin to bleed into each other: the normal world he has always known and the nightmare world that has haunted his dreams. Fantasy and reality. [PING] [SEAL BROKEN, FIRST GATES OPENED, ABYSSAL HOUND RELEASED] The system message plays. The nightmares from his dreams begin to crawl into reality, bloodthirsty and hungry for human lives. Janus is forced to choose: rise up, gain the power necessary to stop humanity's destined collapse, or stand by and watch as humanity is slaughtered. But the path to power is paved with pain, suffering, and death. With the System, he levels up. But will that be enough? Will he be able to prevent humanity's destined collapse before it's too late? Along the way, he forges various relationships, friendships, and rivalries, while encountering enemies and psychopaths who threaten to drag him further into the darkness. The taste of power is sweet, but often, it is poison seeping into the bones and corrupting those with an unquenchable thirst for it.

After traversing to a parallel world where Spiritual Qi has been revived for three years, he discovers that he possesses a Bodhi Branch capable of Enlightening everything into living beings. Thus, he takes a look at his mobile phone, Enlightens it, throws it into the sky, and it transforms into a fair-skinned, long-legged maid. He then finds a tank, Enlightens it, and it turns into a brawny man with a simple smile and a bald head. He Enlightens fighter jets, aircraft carriers, nuclear bombs... and they all become demons. In the end... he finds himself being revered by this group of abnormally powerful demons as a super big shot.

Xin Huohuo is very unlucky; she accidentally brought home two freeloaders, and they're even seriously picky eaters. What's the use of being handsome! Can you pay with your face? Can you use it for mobile pay? What's more, she also attracted a sinister character, along with a long trail of ghosts. A black-bellied, money-loving girl + a goofy, violent guy + a stone-faced, sharp-tongued guy; the shady dealings of these three rascals. Eighth Lord: (Mysteriously) "Life and death are all gifts from life itself..." Seventh Lord: (Impatiently) "What does that mean? I don't understand plain talk!" A certain Lord: (With a deadpan face) "Everyone, go to hell! Hmm, the girl stays." Xin Huohuo: (About to cry) "This is the ultimate meaning of 'the early worm gets eaten by the bird'!"
