you must make a choice.” Kuragami’s mind spun. The overwhelming power surged through him, coiling like a sleeping dragon, waiting to be awakened. His mother was in danger. His people were suffering. And here he was—powerless. But now, he had a choice. The gods had abandoned him. The humans had turned their backs on him. The demons called him their prince. Was he ready to accept the darkness? Would he embrace his true heritage? As the battlefield burned and the heavens trembled, Kuragami clenched his fists, his voice steady. “I refuse to be weak.” The Demon God’s laughter echoed through his soul. “Then rise, Demon Prince. Your destiny begins now.” A black aura exploded from within him, shaking the very fabric of reality. His body burned with newfound strength, his vision sharp, his senses heightened. And for the first time in his two lives… He was no longer powerless. --- Betrayed, murdered, and torn away from his only family, Johnny’s life ended in despair. But fate had other plans.

But Kuragami has only one goal—become strong enough to uncover the truth behind his past and protect the people he loves. When the war between gods and demons erupts once more, will he stand as a savior… or embrace the darkness within?

On an ordinary day, Lucius stumbled upon a strange, run-down shop. At first, he assumed it was abandoned—until he stepped inside. [You have entered the Universal Alchemy Store.] [Congratulations! You are now the store’s owner.] [Please craft your first potion.] Lucius blinked. 'What kind of joke is this?' But as if guided by an unseen force, he followed the instructions.

Imagine this: you're a college student, neck-deep in textbooks about mythology and theology, dreaming of one day becoming an expert in ancient legends and gods. That was me. My life was simple—normal even—until one fateful day, I died. Yeah, just like that. Game over. Or so I thought. Next thing I know, I’m face-to-face with an otherworldly woman named Chaos—real, powerful, and with plans for me. Before I can process it, she sends me back as Hades-. You know, the Greek god of the Underworld. You’d think my knowledge of mythology would give me an edge—wrong. The legends are twisted, the stories half-true, and the gods? Far more complicated than anyone imagined. Everything mortals think they know about the gods is completely wrong. So here I am, a mortal soul navigating the life of a god. Armed with nothing but my wits and what little I know, I have to survive, adapt, and figure out how to make it in a world that’s far more dangerous and unpredictable than I ever imagined. Think you know the gods? Trust me, you don’t. Open the book, step into my shoes, and see for yourself.

The woman hushed him, glancing around anxiously. She knew the boy was only curious about the drawing, yet the inscription beside it spoke of someone else entirely. Still, the credit had been given to the man in the portrait. "Why?" "We just... don’t say it." "Are you talking about The Next General?" A man dressed as a scholar interjected, inserting himself into the conversation. "Everyone is talking about it. After a hundred years, it has returned. I can't decide whether that fills me with hope or dread." His words were meant to impress, to showcase his knowledge, but the woman only tightened her grip on the boy, scooped him up, and hurried away like a hunted animal sensing danger. The scholar let out a single sharp laugh. "A chaotic rhythm… and marvellously extraordinary times are upon us," he murmured, before turning and walking away. --- Disclaimer This is a work of fiction.

When Ed served in the military as a mecha-human, he never thought about the future. Like every soldier around him, he believed he would eventually perish in the line of duty. And he never feared that outcome—after all, he had nothing to lose except his life. The only thing that could be called entertainment in his existence was a novel he had been forced to read.

Reincarnated into that same world, he now finds himself in the role of a minor villain—the one destined to murder the heroine’s parents. Born into a family that loves him, yet heading toward a doomed future, he realizes one thing: If he doesn’t take the protagonist’s place, everything will collapse. And so, he must change the story. ***** A/N:- I suck at synopsis. My grammar won't be perfect but I will try to keep the story interesting. Give a few chapters of read before judging.

Rane was the cherished young miss of the William family, but as fate would have it, their affection deeply favoured her adopted sister. The reason was simple, as children Genna and Rane were switched at birth. Rane had lived in the slums while Genna was raised by the Williams family. By the time the Williams family found her their ties with Genna had already become too tight. They couldn't accept her. Haunted by a tumultuous past that saw her wandering the unforgiving streets, Rane had developed a quiet, fragile demeanour that resembled the calm before a storm. The scars of her past etched into her soul made her reluctant to defend herself, even when Genna—sometimes out of jealousy—slandered her unfairly. Rane often faded into the background, a silent observer in her own life, but this only stoked the fires of resentment among her siblings, who labelled her as spineless and malicious. The relentless bullying and merciless ridicule she faced took their toll, leading her down a dark spiral into depression. Friends, teachers, and family dismissed her pain, assuming she was merely feigning weakness, leaving her to suffer in silence. Instead of receiving the support she needed, Rane found herself trapped in a vicious cycle of mistreatment that deepened her despair. Only her godmother, Jenna, seemed to grasp the extent of Rane’s anguish. By the time Jenna intervened, attempting to rescue her from the suffocating grasp of her adoptive family, Rane had become a mere shadow of her former self. The vibrant spark of life within her had dimmed, extinguished by the burdens she carried. Her will to fight, to change her circumstances, slowly ebbed away, mirroring her physical decline. Ultimately, she succumbed to the weight of her suffering, leaving this world with one solitary wish: she wanted to be strong so strong that no one would be able to take advantage of her.
