Ryo Kisaragi just wanted to buy a new model kit on his 18th birthday. Instead, he found himself yanked into a brutal dieselpunk world where steel behemoths roam, empires clash, and war never sleeps. Equipped with the Ironclad System, a sarcastic, AI-driven guide that grants quests and rewards, Ryo must carve his path through a world of blood, oil, and revolution. Thrown into a battlefield with nothing but his wits, he soon learns that survival means adapting—and fast. With each victory, he earns blueprints for monstrous war machines, experimental weapons, and even enhancements for his own body. But the more he builds, the deeper he’s dragged into a conspiracy spanning nations, shadowy cabals, and beings beyond human comprehension. Steel, fire, and War, mystery, and a system that won’t stop roasting him—Ryo’s journey is anything but ordinary. Welcome to the Gearbound World.

In a world where power is dictated by intelligence, manipulation, and dominance, Ryo Kisaragi has mastered the art of invisibility. Not literal invisibility—but the ability to disappear within the crowd, to erase his presence, to become a ghost among the living. A prodigy beyond comprehension, Ryo has spent his entire life ensuring that no one ever discovers the truth about him. He reads people like open books, calculates their thoughts before they even realize them, and controls outcomes without ever being noticed. He doesn’t seek power, recognition, or status. He only seeks control. But one day, everything changes. Sera Yukishiro—the queen of the school, daughter of a billionaire, and a genius with a terrifying mind—notices him. She doesn’t just notice—she sees through him. And in that moment, Ryo realizes something dangerous: For the first time in his life, he is being hunted. A silent battle begins between two monsters in human skin. A war of minds, dominance, and deception. As Ryo navigates a world where power is dictated not by brute strength but by the ability to control, manipulate, and dismantle, he finds himself caught in a web of secret organizations, hidden agendas, and a game that is much bigger than he ever imagined. But there’s one rule he has always lived by: “If you can see the strings, you are already too late.” And in this world of deception, the one who controls the board is the one who wins.

A kid named Shiro Tatsuya, who lives a very sad life stuck in an infinite cycle of despair experiences a near death situation and something resting dormant inside him awakens and everything changes.

A man rejected by the will of the world he grew up in for all of his life, and a genius with infinite potential who fell as a result of making a risky bet. Under the machinations of the deceased Heavenly Emperor, Huang Xian, two unfortunate souls from entirely different worlds got saved and fused together into a new whole, adopting the identity of the latter–Theodore Winter, the heir to one of the Supreme Pillars of the Heavenly Court. As an eon-spanning competition to decide the next generation of Heavenly Emperor and Heavenly Empress began, it brought with it a game of wits, power and plots that would shake the Heavenly Court to its core. Reincarnators, Transmigrators and Regressors were barely qualified to chase after the unprecedented monsters that had been brought into being for the express purpose of rising above the rest. Battles between peers were like peeling an onion–nobody ever knew just how many cultivation realms and Talents the other had hidden away to catch his opponents off guard. With a saint-like image and the heart of a devil, Theodore Winter entered the fray. Unbeknownst to all, other than returning triumphantly, he was entrusted with another task: To kill Huang Xian’s murderer–his wife, the Heavenly Empress! ------------------------- Read advance chapters (by paying for my meals) on Patreon: • https://www.patreon.com/sh1ro My novel series "Reincarnation Cycle's Unfortunate Bug" on Amazon: • https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CYHGRR8M/ Discord Server (currently under construction): • https://discord.gg/NdAjjmXSDh ------------------------- Hi there, this is Shiro / the author. Just one little cautionary warning here: Due to being set in an entirely alternate world from ours, while some terms and concepts might seem familiar at first glance, many in actuality are not. In canon, the World's Will of a world exactly like our own 'got inspired' by memories that it secretly glimpsed from the Heavenly Emperor, thereby creating extremely loosely related concepts in its own universe.

But when he takes a short break, the unthinkable happens. Shin Hoshino, a rookie with an infuriatingly perfect record, swoops in and solves the case Rei had been working on for months. And the worst part? He does it with a cocky smirk, like it was child’s play. Now, Rei has a new mission: put Shin in his place. What starts as a battle of wits quickly turns into something else. Every glare, every sarcastic remark, and every tense encounter makes Rei’s blood boil—but not just with hatred. Why does he keep thinking about Shin even after the cases are closed? Between crime scenes, late-night chases, and secrets neither of them are willing to admit, a dangerous attraction ignites. But in a world where lies can be deadly, can two enemies afford to fall for each other? Rivalry. Desire. Obsession. Let the chase begin.

Magic is order. Magic is law. At least, that’s what Airi Valeria Nachtal, princess of the Elven Dominion and heir to the arcane legacy of Manifold Arcana, was raised to believe. But when she is thrust into a labyrinth where the very fabric of reality fractures and rewrites itself, those teachings begin to unravel. Trapped alongside Stalin Arkhangelsky, a boy of age 10 who defies existence itself, and Shiro of the same age, whose very presence is an enigma beyond comprehension, Airi is forced to confront the impossible. As they navigate the dungeon’s shifting corridors, Stalin unveils a truth so profound and devastating that it threatens to rewrite everything she has ever known. With each step deeper, the world warps further. Shadows crawl in defiance of light. Echoes manifest before words are spoken. And something unseen—something unfathomable—is watching. As the walls of reason begin to collapse, Airi Valeria Nachtal must face the unthinkable: the magic she was trained to wield, the foundation of her understanding, may have been a lie all along.

Haruto Kisaragi has never been one for attachments. Detached and indifferent, he drifts through high school without purpose, believing that nothing truly matters in the long run. To him, life is a series of predictable routines, and emotions are just unnecessary distractions. Then he meets Yuki Hanashiro. Yuki is his complete opposite—bright, impulsive, and full of life. She refuses to leave him alone, pulling him into ridiculous adventures, from chasing the first snowfall to sending letters to their future selves. No matter how much he tries to keep his distance, her warmth begins to crack the walls he’s built around himself. But Yuki has a secret. Her time is limited. As the seasons change, Haruto finds himself caught between the fear of losing her and the overwhelming need to hold onto what they have. Together, they create memories that will last a lifetime—memories that will remind him that even fleeting moments can be eternal. Because sometimes, even if spring must end, it doesn’t mean the story has to.

During the Sengoku period, one of the most brutal times in Japanese history, Takayama Ukon, a young and devout Christian samurai, found himself forced to serve under Oda Nobunaga, a man despised by Ukon's father, Soemon. This allegiance, born out of the necessity for survival amid the constant conflicts, would lead Ukon down a path where, over the years, he would find himself against those he once served and helped, while standing alongside those he had killed and helped to kill—men who shared his faith. As Ukon's purpose and cause were redefined, he came to understand the path he must follow.

Di dunia di mana para hero berdiri di puncak kekuatan dan villain membawa kehancuran, hanya mereka yang kuat yang diakui. Ryo Kisaragi, seorang pemuda yatim piatu, bercita-cita menjadi hero yang melindungi yang lemah. Namun, kenyataan jauh lebih kejam. Dihina sebagai orang lemah, dihancurkan oleh sistem yang korup, dan dibiarkan mati saat serangan villain, Ryo akhirnya menyadari satu hal: > "Di dunia ini, hero bukanlah penyelamat. Mereka hanya pemenang dalam permainan kekuatan." Bersumpah untuk menjadi seseorang yang tak bisa diabaikan, ia memulai perjalanannya dari nol—menempa dirinya melalui pertarungan brutal, penderitaan, dan pengkhianatan.

Ren Kisaragi was just an ordinary high school student—until he saw the world glitch. A frozen pedestrian, a repeated motion, a moment where time itself stuttered. No one else noticed. No one else questioned it. But for Ren, it was the first crack in reality. Slowly, he begins to understand: the world is a game, a structured system governed by hidden laws. Yet, unlike the others—players and NPCs alike—Ren is the only one who knows. Armed with this knowledge and a mysterious, tattered book that seems to react to these distortions, he sets out to uncover the truth. But knowledge alone isn’t enough. Other players exist, moving through the world without realizing the game they’re trapped in. NPCs act according to scripts, yet some seem to break free in ways they shouldn’t. And as Ren digs deeper, he realizes something terrifying: The system isn’t broken. It’s watching him. And it doesn’t like rule-breakers. Now, Ren must navigate a world where reality itself can rewrite the rules. Because if he’s The Only Player of the Game—then he’s playing alone. And in a game like this, losing isn’t an option.

But as his characters begin to question their existence and seek to defy their fates, Yuto is forced to confront an impossible question: Is it his right to control their destinies… or should he let them rewrite their own fate?

For fourteen years, twins Shiro and Kuro have known only pain, captivity, and battle. Born to mortal parents, their fates were sealed before birth when a fragment of Zeus’s soul embedded itself within their mother’s womb. Blessed—or cursed—with the powers of lightning, air, and the cosmos itself, they were destined for greatness. But an unknown organization feared their potential and stole them away as children, murdering their mother and erasing their past. Raised in a secret facility, they have been trained—tortured—to become the most powerful warriors in history. With their abilities shackled by collars designed to control them, they endure relentless battles, endless experiments, and a cruel existence where even their pain is shared—when one twin is injured, the other suffers half the wound. Yet, something inside them stirs. A power greater than their captors imagined, something even their collars cannot suppress forever. As they approach their eighteenth birthday, their true inheritance awakens—the limitless power of the cosmos. With their full strength unleashed, they finally seize the chance to break free from their prison. But their escape comes at a cost. The moment they are unshackled, the world feels their presence—a presence long hidden by the facility’s suppression field. Now, their captors aren’t the only ones hunting them. Governments, secret organizations, and unknown forces all want a piece of the twins who command the storm. Forced into hiding, they take refuge in Ashnar Academy, the world’s top training ground for elite warriors, assassins, and combat specialists. But even here, danger lurks in every shadow, and whispers of prophecy follow their every move. Enemies are everywhere. Allies are few. And time is running out. Because the storm is coming. And Shiro and Kuro will either rise as gods—or fall as monsters.

In a world where gods experiment with creation and discard their failures, one Tokyo high schooler's life is about to get cosmically complicated. Reo Kisaragi, an ordinary teenager with a passion for urban legends and a desperate need for TikTok likes, accidentally performs a summoning ritual that was never supposed to work. To his shock, he finds himself bonded to Kuro—a sarcastic, overpowered "failed divine experiment" with a casual attitude toward reality-bending chaos. What starts as a comedy of errors quickly escalates when their bond creates "reality cracks" that begin affecting others. Haruto, the school's feared delinquent, suddenly develops destructive voice-based powers. Yui, an eccentric occult enthusiast, discovers her shadow has a mind (and agenda) of its own. And all of them find themselves targets of the Divine Order—celestial enforcers tasked with "purifying" anything the gods consider imperfect. As Reo and his newfound allies struggle to master their chaotic abilities, they discover they're caught in the middle of a cosmic conflict. The Forsaken—other failed divine experiments cast aside by their creators—offer protection and training, while revealing the gods' darker secrets. What began as an accident becomes a battle for survival against increasingly powerful divine enforcers, from robotic Exorcists to the deadly Seraphs who serve the King of Gods himself. With the help of rebel deities, cosmic outcasts, and their own growing powers, Reo and his friends evolve from hapless teenagers into something the divine never anticipated: proof that their "failures" might be their greatest success. But as the Divine War escalates from school hallways to city streets to cosmic battlefields, they face an unsettling question: in a world ruled by gods who demand perfection, is there room for those who are perfectly imperfect? Part comedy, part action epic, and part exploration of what it means to be deemed a "failure," this story follows Reo's journey from accidental summoner to potential world-saver, all while trying to survive high school, manage newfound powers, and deal with a cosmic entity who thinks everything is an opportunity for a training montage.

He’s been preparing for something worse.

For Sara, joy was never about thrill or adventure. It was security. It was home, family, and the quiet warmth of a life where nothing unexpected happened. Predictability. Stability. Safety. But fate had never been kind to those who sought control. One meeting. One collision of worlds. And everything she believed in began to waver. For someone who saw love as eternity, her ideals demanded more than fleeting emotions. Love wasn’t a game of temporary attachments—it came with boundaries, with limitations. But… Would those ideals survive when love demanded surrender? When the world demanded more, would love ever be enough?
