Tony Stark is a genius billionaire, a weapons tycoon, and the man who will one day become Iron Man. What the world doesn’t know is that he has never been alone. Sebastian Michaelis, the impeccably polite butler of the Stark family, is not human. Bound by an ancient contract forged long before Stark Industries existed, he serves with flawless manners—and merciless efficiency. When Tony is captured in Afghanistan and dragged to the brink of death, Iron Man is born in fire and steel… and the devil finally steps out of the shadows. As Tony fights terrorists, rival corporations, and global threats, unseen horrors fall silently in his wake. Technology may protect the world, but something far older and far more dangerous is guarding Tony Stark’s life. In a world of heroes, monsters, and gods, Iron Man is humanity’s weapon. His butler is something else entirely.

Lee Eunwoo was a completely ordinary Korean office worker. Actually… no. He was even below ordinary. He had no talent, no money, no girlfriend, and his boss treated him like a disposable NPC. His only hobby was reading trashy webnovels where the protagonist becomes the strongest being in the universe. One day, after staying up all night reading a 3,000-chapter cultivation novel, Eunwoo muttered: “If I got reincarnated, I’d definitely do better than this idiot protagonist.” Then he died. Just like that. Truck-kun didn’t even bother slowing down. ⸻ The System Appears When Lee Eunwoo opened his eyes again, he didn’t see heaven. He didn’t see a fantasy world either. He saw himself. But something was wrong. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t blink. He couldn’t breathe. And then a mechanical voice echoed. [Welcome to the Universal Reflection System.] [Host has been reincarnated as: Mirror.] Eunwoo: “…Wait.” At first Eunwoo believed his second life was cursed. He was just a mirror in a dusty antique shop in a small fantasy town. But then a thief broke into the shop. The thief looked into the mirror. And suddenly— BOOM. The thief collapsed unconscious. [Skill acquired: Reflection.] Anything shown in the mirror… Can be copied, reflected, amplified, or reversed. Magic spells? Reflected. Sword skills? Copied. Curses? Returned to sender. Even divine abilities could be mirrored. The stronger the opponent, the stronger Eunwoo becomes. ⸻ Eunwoo’s Biggest Problem The system kept giving absurd powers. But Eunwoo misunderstood everything. Every time he gained a new ability he thought: “This is probably the weakest starter skill…” Meanwhile the world thought something completely different.

[Congratulations, Host! You have defeated the 777th Hero Party!] [Eternal Quest has been completed!] [Final scenario is unfolding!] “Even… if I can’t kill you… I will rid this world of your existence!“ Maximus, the hero teetering at the edge of death, yelled. In contrast, the Demon Lord just waved his hands dismissively. He had been bored out of his mind either way. Even if the hero succeeded, he would do his enemy the greatest favor. As a bright flash enveloped the Demon King, he just closed his eyes and smiled. “Time to go home.” Aiden was already planning what he would do once he got home. Getting a new console was a must, and premium snacks. Oh, and he would get his parents a condo. However, as the flash faded away, the sight that greeted him wasn’t of the Earth he remembered. The place was ruined! Monsters lurked everywhere. Buildings were crumbled and turned to dust. All buildings but one. The very same one he was standing on. “What the hell is going on here?“ [Congratulations, Host! As a reward for your excellent performance, you have inherited the Apocalypse Landlord system!] “Eh? I went from a demon lord to a property manager!?“

Some say he is the bad apple in a basket, that he's rotting everything around him with disgrace and corruption. Some say he is the biggest scum of the southern continent of Jambu, that he's colluding with the dark sects to cheat, steal, and commit all manner of atrocities. Some say he is the most wanted playboy. "Lock your daughters at home to keep Fang Xing away!" To all of those people, "That's right, I am that big rotten apple. Any problem with that?" --on indefinite hiatus with the current PtH team. Last chapter: 425 on Dec 31, 2018.

In times of war… What is a Battle Mecha engineer expected to do? Are they expected to do research and realize their imagination? How about a Battle Mecha pilot?

Or are they expected to create brilliant strategies to triumph over the enemy through a miraculous move? For someone who excels in human psychology, deceit, assassination, and disguise, what happens when that person is merged with all those professions? This is the story of a cowardly, wretched, and despicable fatty.

Hedonism: the pursuit of pleasure. If you were rewarded for embracing your deepest desires, what would you do? What’s wrong with a little vanity? Materialism? Lust—no matter the taboo?

Armed with the means to seek out pleasure while getting stronger for it. Your enemies? They’ll die….after you’ve had your fun.

Every New Year’s Eve, the blood moon rises, and with it comes a deadly truth: sleep can mean death. Some who succumb are dragged into the Lunar Plane, a nightmarish expanse ruled by lunar creatures that consume minds. Some humans, known as dreamers, survive the ordeal but at a terrible cost. They wander the creatures’ endless voids, returning only when they escape, their presence feared above all. Society has learned to dread them, seeing them as both a threat and a resource: unstable, unpredictable, yet capable of knowledge, foresight, and psychic power far beyond normal human limits. To control this danger, governments and mega-corporations maintain strict contracts with known dreamers. Some are coerced into monitoring the Lunar Plane, keeping the peace, hunting rogue entities, or extracting intelligence from the void for profit and defense. Others are weaponized for warfare, their unique abilities exploited to infiltrate enemy networks, manipulate adversaries, or sabotage opposing forces on either earth, or the lunar plane in which they are teleported to in their dreams. Wealthy citizens protect themselves with neural implants, anti-dreamer wards, and other advanced technology, creating a stark divide between those who can go toe to toe with dreamers, and those who cannot. Dreamers walk a razor’s edge, feared, exploited, and isolated, their humanity often traded for survival or for the strategic advantage of those who control the world above. Ryven never wished to become a dreamer. He never wanted to roam a void of horrors or wield powers he did not understand, yet after a sudden car crash, he awakens inside a the expanse of a horrifying creature, forced to watch it mimic his friends and family as he struggles to find a way back to life in the world above, a world both dazzling and terrifying in its technological sophistication yet blind to the nightmare many inhabit. As the blood moon rises again, the boundary between life and the Lunar Plane blurs, and Ryven must navigate a world that fears him even as it uses him.

When the zombie apocalypse began, I expected screaming, chaos, maybe even heroic last stands. What I didn’t expect… was my wife being eaten for breakfast.

On a national highway, I chanced upon a great stroke of luck, but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't overcome it. Swept up by this great fortune (who wanted to complete its own achievements), Genichi was sent into the two-dimensional world—and discovered that he had shattered. Shattered in the most literal sense: his soul broke into countless fragments, each traversing into a different world. As for his cheat ability, it was this: kill another version of himself from a different world, and he could gain everything that version possessed. But... Isn't there something off about this? Looking at another version of himself—already nearly dead—presented before him, Genichi couldn’t help but ask: Isn’t this basically just inheriting the other “self’s” legacy from another world?
