The hero and his party have defeated the Demon King and brought an era of "peace" to the world. This story follows a powerful demon who, instead of standing beside the Demon King in the final battle against the Hero, chose to steal a treasure from the Demon King’s vault. A relic that allows him to pass as human. With the demon king’s demise, he seizes the opportunity to live in the human realm and called it retirement. However, his plans weren’t going well. “In honor of defeating the last demon lord in the world, I give you all these lands and the right to marry my daughter.” – the duke. “Can I live in your city?” – the hero. “Will you marry me?” – the goddess. This gripping fantasy delivers intense action, clever strategy, and deep character development.

In the year 1500, just before the world loses its mind and decides piracy is fashionable, a seventeen-year-old merchant’s son named Jack Sparrow finds himself extremely unlucky, briefly enslaved by fate, and permanently in debt to a very unpleasant pirate named Davy Jones. In exchange for raising his sunken ship from the ocean, Jack gains the Black Pearl—a ship that moves when it feels like it and behaves as though it has opinions. Together, the newly named Caribbean Pirates bumble through storms, starvation, strong enemies, and terrible financial decisions, arriving at Loguetown just in time for the execution of the Pirate King himself. Jack, drunk for the first time in his life, fires a cannon he mistakes for a celebration prop, narrowly avoids being punched by a Marine legend, and unknowingly helps ignite the Great Pirate Era, literally with a bang. With a cursed ship, worse planning, and dangerously good luck, Jack D Sparrow sails into the One Piece world—to enjoy its luxuries, meat, women and rum.

Why did this happen to me…? I was just living an "ordinary" life Not only was I dragged into another world, but on top of that—I became a mid-tier villain in a novel… And what?! I was granted a System… that should be good, right? No—wait. Why did the System choose me? Was it the one that brought me here in the first place? What exactly is this System? And why is it ‘helping’ me? Is there a conspiracy behind all this? Is it telling me that I’ll eventually become the villain above all villains…? No. I refuse to live like a puppet under the System forever. I will uncover the truth behind this System that claims to ‘help’ me.” Notice: The protagonist is genuinely selfish, trusts no one (except for a very small few), and has no moral principles—partly due to his past. Although there may be a harem, do not expect the kind of romance you’re looking for. If this isn’t to your taste, please leave quietly—don’t come in just to post negative comments.

"Failed writer. Failed hunter. Failed at life." Aiden Jus had heard it all before. At twenty-eight, he was a walking reminder of what happened when you failed your mana awakening and spent thirteen years chasing a dream that would never come true. No powers. No future. Just a cramped flat in the UK and a lifetime of rejection letters from publishers who never bothered to read past the first page. But the day Aiden decided to give up on writing—the day he was ready to finally accept a soul-crushing desk job at an editing firm—everything changed. *[You have been chosen by Nabu, God of Literacy and Scribes]* *[Skill Acquired: Narrative Embodiment (Divine-Rank)]* The ancient Mesopotamian deity offered Aiden something unprecedented: the power to physically enter any story he writes and gain real abilities from the fictional worlds he creates. *[You have mastered Celestial Blade Art - Skill permanently acquired]* *[You have learned Tier-9 Spell: Void Severance - Spell permanently acquired]* Every sword technique mastered, every spell learned, every power gained inside his stories becomes permanently his in the real world. But so does every death trap, overpowered villain, and narrative cruelty he carelessly wrote in moments of frustration. Suddenly, Aiden isn't just a failed writer anymore. While other awakened humans rely on mana cores and dungeon raids, Aiden's strength comes from the worlds born from his imagination—a power that operates outside the traditional hunter system entirely. As rival gods compete for powerful human contractors and ancient ruins promise unimaginable treasures, Aiden must survive the deadly fictional universes he created while building his reputation in a society that once dismissed him as worthless. **From the typewriter to the battlefield, Aiden Jus will prove that the pen truly is mightier than the sword—as long as you're willing to live through every word you write.** --- *An action-fantasy progression series blending real-world hunter systems, divine contracts, multi-genre story realms, and the ultimate question: What would you do if you had to survive your own worst writing?* Author's Note 1 chapter per day.
