Tokyo's Romeo

Reborn in modern Tokyo, Kuroha Akira comes back with exactly zero cheat abilities, zero morals, and zero motivation. His life goal is simple and noble: lie flat forever. Unfortunately, lying flat costs money—and working? Absolutely not. Since no elegant, rich onee-san is lining up to keep him, Akira pivots to a more long-term investment strategy: Find future rich girls. Raise them. Optimize favorability. Cash out dividends later. Think of it as angel investing—except the startups are people, the currency is affection, and the exit strategy is becoming a full-time kept man. This is Akira’s personal life hack: “Favorability is just an emotional stock market.” As long as he can manipulate emotional trends, hedge risks across multiple “portfolios,” and prevent any single relationship from crashing the whole system… A life of being financially supported until death is statistically achievable. Our slogan: “Lie flat. Rot slowly. Let someone else pay the bills.” *** But reality, as always, drops an unexpected patch update. Breaking News: The long-missing legendary entrepreneur and investor Kuroha Akira has been rescued after years of captivity. The prime suspects? Several women he maintained “complicated emotional positions” with during his high school era. Footage from the rescue scene captures Akira muttering in disbelief: “Why… I drained so much money… …and her favorability went up instead of crashing?!” *** His life ultimately proves two immutable truths: Emotional markets are more volatile than crypto. Being a kept man always comes with hidden costs. *** Disclaimer: Yes, this is a harem story. No, these heroines are not mentally normal. Proceed at your own emotional risk. https://patreon.com/BlackZetsu?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink

Dread Bound

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.

I became a Mirror but I am too overpowered.

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.
