"Oh wonderful hero," a melodious voice echoed through the room. "Your world faces a terrible crisis, and you have been chosen to—" "No," he said flatly. A pause. Then a shimmer of golden light coalesced into the form of a beautiful woman in flowing robes. She blinked at him. "I... what?" "I said no. I'm not interested in whatever quest or destiny you're selling. Pick someone else." The goddess's perfect features creased in confusion. "But... but you've been chosen! The prophecy speaks of a warrior with a fierce spirit, one who—" "Lady, I don't care about your prophecy. I've got enough problems here without adding some fantasy world's issues to the mix. Now un-freeze time and leave me alone." "You don't understand," she pressed. "Our world is being ravaged by the Demon King's armies! Millions will die without—"

Jessica Moran should have died. A near-fatal accident shattered her magic core, leaving her incapable of using magic ever again. But when she wakes, it’s not just her magic that’s missing—her memories are gone, too. She doesn’t remember the friends, enemies, or rivalries she once had. She doesn’t recall the lessons, customs, or expectations drilled into her since birth. Even her own family feels like strangers. The noble elite whisper that she lost her mind along with her magic. A broken girl, an embarrassment to her house, unworthy of the prestigious knight academy. But while Jessica doesn’t remember who she was… her body does. • Her reflexes are too sharp for someone who has barely held a sword. • Her instincts drive her to dodge before she even registers a threat. • And when she fights, it feels too familiar—too natural—like something buried deep inside her already knows how. Thrown into the Elite Class, not because she deserves it, but because no one knows what else to do with her, Jessica plays along. She doesn’t argue. She doesn’t fight the rumors. Because even she can’t explain why battle feels more like home than her own past. And somewhere—deep in the shattered remains of her lost memories—something waits.

Lucien was a man of detachment, an observer in a world he neither cared for nor sought to change. To him, life unfolded as it was meant to, a series of inconsequential events, none of which ever managed to spark his interest. His world was meticulously ordered, untouched by chaos, even when his father arrived home one day with a stranger in tow. The boy, Noah, introduced as Lucien’s cousin, was young, quiet, and entirely unremarkable. The boy’s sudden appearance raised more questions than answers, especially since no one had known of his existence until that moment. Lucien, true to his nature, dismissed the development as yet another insignificant twist in his father’s unpredictable whims. Until he found a peculiar book, one whose cryptic words seemed to draw a connection to the boy. Against his better judgment, he began to notice the boy’s every move, every glance, every hesitation. For the first time in his carefully controlled existence, Lucien’s mask faltered.

A decade ago, the world was saved by a single warrior. The Calamity Killer—a legend who single-handedly conquered every calamity-level gate, eradicating the monstrous threats that once plagued humanity. No one knew his true identity, only that he was the strongest hunter to ever exist. Then, one day, he vanished. With his disappearance, the gates stopped appearing, and the world entered an era of peace. Hunters retired, governments stabilized, and people moved on. But they never forgot the man who had saved them all. His name remained in history—an untouchable myth. Until now. Ten years later, the Calamity Killer returns—but something is wrong. His overwhelming power is gone, leaving him a shadow of his former self. Worse, his reappearance triggers something terrifying… the gates have begun opening once more. Once a prodigy who started clearing gates at just 15, he now faces a world that still remembers him as a legend—but he is no longer the invincible warrior they once knew. Weakened but not broken, he must train relentlessly to reclaim his former glory, all while uncovering the truth: Why did he lose his power? Why are the gates returning? And this time… can he stop what’s coming?

Alec Vance was supposed to be dead. His body was never found, his name erased, and his existence forgotten. Betrayed by the man he trusted the most—Blaze Carter—he was left for dead in the underground world of crime and power. But death didn’t take him. Now, after years in the shadows, Alec has returned. Not for revenge—but for something much darker. He doesn’t just want to destroy Blaze; he wants to make him suffer, piece by piece, until there's nothing left. As the city drowns in mind games, obsession, and blood, Alec and Blaze are locked in a battle where trust is an illusion and love is a weapon. But when the lines between hatred and passion blur, who will survive this deadly game? In a world where betrayal is inevitable and death is a mere illusion, one question remains—can you ever escape the past?

Gaia is dead. The world is a mess of fused realms—acid rain burns the ground, food is scarce, and the air is poison. No one knows why Gaia, the ancient guardian of life, died, but her rotting corpse unleashed chaos. Monstrous Outer Gods slithered into the cracks of reality, twisting the land into nightmares. Yet, in the ruins, people still fight to survive. Under a giant boulder—the only shelter in this toxic wasteland—a boy wakes up. He’s the last human alive, his memories fuzzy except for flashes of a lost Earth: sunny skies, laughter, and a strange power inside him. He can create Kaiju, giant monsters that could crush armies… if he knew how to control them. But right now, he’s just a hungry kid, scrambling to find food and avoid getting killed. Outside his rock, alien clans run the show. Some trade clean water for labor, others heal wounds with glowing mushrooms, and a few settle disputes with fistfights to blow off steam before rage drives them insane. Everyone fears the 100% Rule. Too much stress, sadness, or anger? Your mind snaps, turning you into a Husk—a mindless monster with no soul. The boy’s Kaiju power could help him survive… or push him closer to becoming a Husk. Worse, death here is permanent. If he dies, someone else takes his place—an outcast, a kid, a warrior. The world doesn’t care who you are. It just wants to eat you alive. This isn’t a story about heroes. The boy isn’t special. He’s just trying to survive, one day at a time—bargaining with clans, scavenging junk, and accidentally summoning Kaiju when he panics. Maybe he’ll find a way to fix this broken world. Or maybe he’ll just find a decent meal. In a place this messed up, even small victories matter.
