“Night has fallen. Monsters, open your eyes. Werewolves, kill. Vampires, kill. Tengu, kill. Corporate security, kill. Mercenaries, kill. Gangs, kill. Counter-terror squads, kill. Cyberpsychos, kill. Biotech mutants, kill. Interdimensional demons, kill. Void Zerg, kill. Arcane abominations, kill. Millions of Dream-Possessed, kill...” The Public Safety System says: “It’s morning. Last night was a peaceful night— The cyberpsycho killed all the monsters. Survivors, please speak.” Li Pan says: “First of all, I’m not a cyberpsycho.

At the edge of creation, two ancient celestials argue over the minds of humans. One believes logic, invention, and discipline are the greatest powers a human can wield. The other believes imagination, madness, and reckless creativity can surpass all boundaries. Their quarrel births an experiment. Two humans are chosen from Earth and cast into a decaying world of steel, steam, soot, and magical war. Our MC, Aoshi Minamoto, a hidden genius who wasted away in obscurity and illness, awakens in the body of a disgraced blacksmith drowning in debt. Kaien Ota, a self-proclaimed king and delusional dreamer, embraces death with a smile and is given the same impossible chance. Both find themselves in a world that reeks of smoke and blood, where kingdoms cling to life through industry and war, and where survival is a fleeting privilege. Neither are granted powers. Neither are warned of what awaits. They enter their new lives with nothing but their minds, their convictions, and a survival chance that teeters on the edge of nothing. In a world where morality is swallowed by desperation, invention can kill as easily as it saves, and blood is the price of ambition, their paths will decide which truth holds greater weight. Logic or imagination. Order or chaos.

When Seth Virell opens his eyes, he finds himself standing before endless shelves of rotting tomes and whispering ink. The air tastes of dust, secrets, and something… watching. A lone desk sits in the center, a brass placard gleaming faintly: “Archivist.” The Library of the Broken Spine is no mere repository of books. Its shelves contain realities long erased, stories abandoned by the worlds that birthed them, and truths that should never be read aloud. Here, every choice Seth makes is recorded — not in paper and ink, but in the fabric of existence itself. Granted a single Discipline and an oath he does not remember swearing, Seth is tasked to catalog, alter, and seal away dangerous narratives before they leak into the living world. But each book he touches tries to write him back. And in the shadows between the shelves, something waits — not to be read, but to be remembered. In this library, forgetting is mercy. Remembering… is damnation.

Accidentally, Keal clicked Spawn—and in an instant, he vanished from his room and he was teleported into a mysterious world known as Alterra.

'Kai, you're a boy, but you're so good with Mystic that I'm going to enrol you in the Mystical Class.' 'Can I refuse, Madam Principal?' "Hahaha... "You want to reject it, then? I'll give you a choice: you can either be expelled and become test material for the Imperial Mystical Tower, or accept my recommendation." 'I'd go for the latter.' It was an offer I couldn't possibly refuse. My name's Kai von Salvador, but that's not my real name. I was at the best magic academy in the empire, which was actually in Yuri's game, 'Scarlet Butterfly Chronicle'. It's a game where men don't feature at all, because in the world of the game women are more talented in Mystica than men. So, in this world women control the government. It's a unique setting that combines Victorian-era steampunk with magic. I'm the only guy in the special class at the moment. Oh no! 'I just want peace…'

Karl awoke to find himself shockingly reduced to a crippled Evil God confined within a bottle. The Fischer family had inadvertently become his favored members, sharing a fate connected by blood throughout the generations. They established a secret clan, infiltrated the state, manipulated wars, ascended the God Pantheon stairway, and fought for the honor and future of the family. They were assassins lurking in the shadows, beloved scholars, esteemed priests, powerful dukes, and legends in heroic epics. From budding to robust growth, steampunk evolved; the Spirit Realm descended through dreams; witches and ancient gods stepped forth, and people listened to the lost whispers at their ears. They were both the creators and the enders of stories. Generation after generation, in a continuous succession, they marched forward. "Step over my corpse and go on," he said.
