Ren Ashford died choking on instant noodles. Not heroic. Not tragic. Just stupid. So when he wakes up in a world of magic, systems, and glowing rune-lit cities, he’s not impressed. Everyone around him dreams of awakening powerful combat systems—Adventurer, Mage, Merchant, or Life. Ren? He just wants to survive quietly and maybe nap through the apocalypse. But fate has other plans. At the academy’s grand awakening ceremony, Ren receives a Special System—the lowest tier, the most ridiculed, the kind that gets you laughed out of the room. His is the Parasite System. It doesn’t fight. It doesn’t cast spells. It doesn’t craft. It leeches. By attaching to a host, Ren duplicates their experience, skills, and rewards—without lifting a finger. And his first host? The radiant, overpowered, and painfully dramatic Hero of the Empire, Leon Brightshield. Now stuck to the golden boy of destiny, Ren must navigate a world of monsters, politics, and magical nonsense… all while being mistaken for a useless sidekick. Deadpan. Detached. Dangerous. Ren Ashford is about to prove that sometimes, the best way to win… is to let someone else do the work.

When the "Rebellious Brat" is summoned home... a storm of chaos flavored with the scent of an old flame begins! 'Ice,' a cheeky Computer Engineering student, is forced to trade his high-tech city life for the streets of Nakhon Pathom. Instead of running code, he’s now chopping chicken at his father’s famous stall. But his boring new routine is flipped upside down when he keeps running into a massive, terrifying man lurking outside the local convenience store every single day. 'Leo,' a 32-year-old tattoo artist, is covered in ink and radiates an aura so cold it makes grown men back away. But behind that rugged, "bad boy" exterior lies one massive weakness: the boy next door he’s been pining for since they were kids. Now that Ice is back, Leo is ready to trade his tattoo needle for bags of iced green tea and favorite cakes. His mission? To "persistently woo" and win over the brat who once owned his heart. "Aren't you tired yet? I curse you out every day, yet you still have the nerve to show your face!" "Can you stop scolding me for a second? You’re as fierce as a little pup, aren't you?" One is a stubborn brat with innocent eyes; the other is a fierce-faced "simp" who’s completely whipped for his childhood crush. Join the journey of this "Grown-up Golden Retriever" as he tries to break through the wall of "selective amnesia" and survive a terrifying father-in-law. It’s time to prove that no matter how tough he looks... his heart will always lose to this boy.

"You have two choices, Aria," Ethan said, his voice as cold as the glass of whiskey in his hand. "Go to prison for corporate espionage, or sign this paper." Aria stared at the document, her hands trembling. "And if I sign?" "Then you belong to me," he leaned forward, his dark eyes locking onto hers. "You will be my personal assistant by day and my fiancée by night. You will live in my house, wear my ring, and obey my rules until your family's debt is paid." ____ Aria Sterling was once the princess of the business world until a hostile takeover destroyed her father’s empire and left her family in ruins. The man responsible? Ethan Vance. Now, stripped of her fortune and working as a waitress to pay for her brother's medical bills, Aria is desperate. When she tries to sneak into a gala to steal evidence against Ethan, she walks right into his trap. But Ethan doesn’t want to send her to jail. He needs a fake fiancée to secure his control over the company board, and the fallen heiress is the perfect candidate. Aria agrees, but she has a secret agenda: she will use this contract to infiltrate his company, find his weakness, and take back everything he stole. She expected a war. She expected humiliation. What she didn’t expect was for the cold-hearted CEO to protect her from the shadows. As secrets about her father’s fall come to light, Aria realizes that the true villain might not be the man sleeping in the room next door. Caught between revenge and an undeniable attraction, Aria must decide: Is Ethan Vance her worst enemy, or her only savior?

Once, a body alone ruled the Three Realms. No techniques. No divine arts. Only the absolute peak of Body Cultivation. They called it the Supreme Immortal Body. Then it vanished without warning, leaving the heavens confused, the worlds unsettled, and countless experts arguing over whether it had ever truly existed. It should have remained a forgotten legend. Unfortunately, it did not.

Every week, a man walks into the police station and confesses to a murder that hasn’t occurred… yet. When the crimes inevitably come true, the authorities are baffled. Is it luck, coincidence, or something darker?

Immortality? It is something many people wish for. But what happens when it is forced upon you? Does happiness last a thousand years? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? A million? For Rain, time had lost all meaning, serving only as a reminder of his suffering. To endure his endless existence, he mastered almost everything the world has to offer. Martial arts. Medicine. Engineering. Science. He learned them to fight the boredom of his long life and to uncover a way to break his curse. Sadly, death never came. No matter how long he waited, it avoided him. Just as he believed his life would be spent in endless isolation, a new change swept across the world. It’s unlike anything he has seen before. Not the asteroids that wiped out the dinosaurs, the ice that covered the land, the great flood, or the rise and fall of countless civilizations. This time, the change comes from the one place he never expected. Nightmares. “Interesting.” A childlike smile formed on his lips. After so long, a new presence caught his attention. He got no idea what it would mean for the world, and he didn’t care. All that mattered was whether it could give him what he had been seeking for so long.

For years, he endured in silence, carrying the weight of loss and despair… until the shadow inside him awoke.
