Without hesitation, Avery gave up her position as the "real" daughter and returned to her biological parents.

With a hundred billion dollars to her name, she became a master of technology and a talented woman, soaring straight to the peak of her life. But everything changed when she met Alexander Moran, a wealthy and handsome man. He was an absolute bigwig—decisive, cold, and callous. Yet, for some reason, he couldn’t stop tangling with her, always eager to give her all his love. On their first encounter, he said, "I'll give myself up as collateral." The second time they met, she questioned, "Why should I trust you?" After multiple encounters, his tone shifted. "You shouldn't have crossed this line, Avery, if you didn't want it to be like this." a sturdy arm wrapped around her swaying body. Her head grew hazy, and an intentional, hot sigh escaped her lips.

Kai’s life was small—coffee-stained mornings, cracked recipes, and a system in his head that tweaked toasters and dough like it was nothing. Then the sky shattered. Aliens—Skraiths, jagged and brutal—invaded, tearing his city apart with green-glowing weapons and relentless claws. Superhumans rose to fight back, fire and lightning blazing through the chaos, but Kai’s world crumbled with them. Hiding in his apartment, Kai stumbles on blood—human and alien, smeared on his wall after a superhuman battle. His system, once just a tinker’s tool, awakens, offering him a choice: mimic their powers, temporary and wild, through the blood itself. Desperate, he takes it—stealing pyrokinesis, then electrokinesis, then kinetic energy, each power burning through him, fading fast. But it’s not enough. Armed with a humming Skraith weapon and a body tougher from alien blood, Kai joins a ragtag crew of enhanced fighters—Liv, Rylan, Jace, and Tucker—scraping to survive in a warzone where every shadow hides death. As Skraiths swarm and the city burns, Kai’s system pushes him deeper, analyzing, integrating, crafting minor enhancements—durability, strength, sparks of power that could make him a target or a savior. Government factions, rogue scientists, and the aliens themselves start sniffing around, drawn to his strange tech and blood-stolen abilities. By the time Kai crafts his first super-powered enhancement—an artificial strength boost—he’s no longer just a tinkerer. He’s on the edge of something bigger, something dangerous, where blood and sparks could forge a hero—or break him entirely. In a world unraveling, Kai’s fight for survival becomes a desperate race to master his system, outrun the Skraiths, and confront the truth: the power he’s chasing might destroy him—or remake the world.

In a world ravaged by civil war, humanity teetered on the brink of collapse. The conflict was fueled by the fact that humans possessed extraordinary abilities, which they wielded against one another in a desperate bid for dominance. As the chaos escalated, the Hoshino family, driven by a desire to restore peace and balance to the world, took drastic measures. They created a virus, one that, when inhaled, would suppress the special powers that had become the root of the conflict. The virus, a potent tool in the quest for tranquility, was disseminated globally, its effects felt by all who breathed it in. To ensure that humanity remained in check, the Hoshino family periodically released the virus, maintaining a delicate equilibrium. However, there was a caveat: the Hoshino family themselves were immune to the virus's effects, possessing a unique resistance that set them apart from the rest of humanity. This immunity granted the Hoshino family unparalleled power and control, allowing them to shape the world according to their vision. As the sole guardians of the virus, they held the fate of humanity in their hands, dictating the course of history and maintaining the fragile peace that had been forged. Generations passed, and the Oshino family's grip on the world only tightened. They ruled with an iron fist, crushing any opposition and maintaining control through brutal force. But their power went beyond mere physical dominance - they had also developed the ability to manipulate the minds of people, erasing memories and altering perceptions to suit their own agenda. The world was a dystopian nightmare, with the Hoshino family pulling the strings from behind the scenes. But amidst the darkness, a glimmer of hope emerged. A young man named Kaito, along with his loyal companion, a dog from the slums, rose up to challenge the Hoshino family's stranglehold on the world. They were joined by a motley crew of individuals from the slums, each with their own unique skills and strengths. Together, they formed a ragtag resistance, determined to fight against the Hoshino family's tyranny and reclaim the world for its rightful owners. As Kaito and his companions delved deeper into the heart of the Hoshino family's stronghold, they began to uncover the dark secrets behind the virus and the family's mind control techniques. They discovered that the virus was not just a simple suppressant, but a complex tool that altered the very fabric of human consciousness. They learned that the Hoshino family had been using the virus to erase memories of humanity's past, to make people forget that they had once possessed extraordinary abilities. The more they learned, the more they realized that their fight was not just against the Hoshino family, but against a system that had been designed to keep humanity in chains. They saw that the world was a prison, with the Hoshino family as the wardens, and that the only way to escape was to confront the truth and shatter the illusions that had been cast over the world. With this knowledge, Kaito and his companions steeled themselves for the ultimate battle. They would fight to free humanity from the Hoshino family's grasp, to restore the memories of the past, and to reclaim the powers that had been lost. The war for the future had begun, and the fate of humanity hung in the balance. Would Kaito and his companions be able to overcome the Hoshino family's formidable power, or would the world remain forever trapped in a cycle of oppression and control? Only time would tell.

This will be a kingdom building kind with comedy but there will be a fair share of adventures. Greji was just your average high schooler minding his own business when BAM! He got hit by the infamous Truck-kun. Next thing he knows, he’s waking up in a whole new world as the son of a broke count.

No ancient spirit to train him. No talent, no godlike bloodline, no family fortune. Literally nothing. Except… oh, he’s got killer looks. Great for the masses especially women, not so much for slaying demon kings. As the demon king's armies getting out of the seals, Greji is left scrambling to figure out how to save the world without any of the usual perks. His grand “strategy”? Bluff, charm, and somehow survive with nothing but his absurdly good looks and sharp (but mostly sarcastic) wit.

Can he actually take down the demon king, or will his stunning face end up plastered on "Wanted: Dead or Mostly Dead" posters? One thing’s for sure: Greji’s new life is anything but ordinary… or fair. DISCLAIMER!!! I used ai to enhance my grammar but the storyline,dialogues, and idea are mine and mine alone.
