Max is a quiet and predictable person who works at a bookstore called "The Book Nook." He loves books and old records, and his life is comfortable and routine. One rainy Tuesday, while sorting through donations, Max finds a mysterious silver amulet with intricate carvings. As soon as he touches it, he feels a strange energy and hears a whisper in his mind saying "Find me." Max is unsure if he imagined the whole thing, but he can't shake off the feeling that the amulet is special. He decides to research the symbols on the amulet and seeks the help of Mr. Henderson, a history buff. That night, Max has a vivid and unsettling dream where he sees a woman trapped in a tower, pleading for help. He wakes up feeling disturbed and realizes that the amulet is calling him to find the woman. Max knows that he's not equipped for adventure, but he feels compelled to answer the call. He decides to embark on a journey to find the woman, despite the danger and uncertainty that lies ahead. As Max prepares to leave his ordinary life behind, he realizes that his life is about to change in ways he can't imagine. He's stepping into the unknown, and the humdrum of his life at the bookstore will be replaced by the thrill of adventure and the echo of the calling amulet.

Wasters. The word spreads like wildfire across the frontier—whispered in saloons, cursed in cathedrals. Born of rogue science and stitched metal, they’re outlaws in the eyes of the Church and monsters in the eyes of the world. Levi Wilson didn’t choose this life. Once a streetwise mercenary, he was captured, experimented on, and turned into something he doesn’t understand. Augmented with prototype Vaporguard tech and left with scars he can’t outrun, Levi escapes into a land already teetering on the edge—where the Church tightens its grip, bounty hunters chase Wasters for coin, and the Old World’s empire watches the New with hungry eyes. Now hunted and alone, Levi must learn to survive—not just the bounty hunters and Inquisition on his trail, but the growing power inside him. What begins as a fight to stay alive will drag him into something far greater: a war for the soul of the frontier, and maybe the world beyond it.

[WSA 2025 Entry] [You have inherited The Class Huntsman Of Death.] ...... Deathborne. A game that I couldn’t stop playing in my free time.  A game that hooked me to the core. A game that I was determined to finish and achieve the true happy ending by hook or crook. You might be wondering why. It's because no matter what choices I made, no matter how much I tried, it always ended with a bad ending. An ending with the protagonist winning at the cost of innumerable sacrifices and being left alone as the last surviving human. Would you enjoy a movie, novel, or game that ends with only the hero surviving? Would you like such an ending? Of course not. Neither could I. That's why I tried my hardest and kept trying. Alas, despite all my efforts, I have yet to reach the true happy good ending. That's why I kept on grinding to achieve a good ending until I got that message. [Congratulations, player Mr. Per781, for clearing all hidden conditions. You are now eligible to access the hidden route, as deemed by the game developer.]  [Do you want to proceed?]  [Yes] [No]  In the next moment, I felt my soul getting dragged by and my consciousness getting detached from the main body. Being a hardcore otaku, I knew what was going on. I almost showed a middle finger and screamed, "I will commit suicide in another world if you drag me." Just then hand emerged from the screen and pulled me into the monitor leaving the room empty which resonated with my last words. "FUCKING HELLLL!"

Still frustrated, I stormed out of his house... and that’s when Truck-kun hit me. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst part? I woke up in a different body—the body of a side character in my friend’s novel. A character who is supposed to die in the prologue. [Your body is dying!] [You don’t have much time left.] [The creator of this world is mocking you.] F#ck you, Author. F#ck this novel. I will survive, and when I do—I'll beat you to a pulp! --- Additional tags: # Academy # Alternate World # Fantasy World # Male Protagonist # Misunderstandings # Multiple Love Interests # Obsessive Love # Possession # Romantic Subplot # Special Abilities # Transported to Another World # Yandere

Have you ever wondered what's on the other side of the mirror? This is not just another sappy coming-of-age story about school and first crushes. It is a brutally honest story about bullying and misunderstanding. About violence that adults often fail to see. About fear that eats you up from the inside. About the struggle – the daily struggle that thousands of teenagers face. It is a dark, poignant story about how lonely you can be in a crowd, how imperceptible the dramas of their children are to adults, and how thin the line between reality and nightmare is. Maja is an ordinary girl who struggles with hate and a lack of understanding every day. She doesn't fit in. She is different. She sees more, feels more, but she can't tell anyone. Sometimes she doesn't even understand herself. Lina – her imaginary friend – has been with her since childhood. At least, that's what the adults say. Because Maja knows that Lina is not imaginary. But if that's the case... who is she really? It is a coming-of-age story, but in a completely different light. A light that barely shines through the darkness. About how easy it is to disappear – and how difficult it is to be noticed. Adults say, “It's just a phase.” Children are silent because no one listens to them. But what if there are things that cannot be ignored? This is a story about what lurks in the darkness – and what happens when the shadow starts to look in our direction. A story in which anyone who has ever felt invisible can recognize themselves. Do you dare to look into the mirror?
