The Parting Glass Ed Sheeran

Iwasaki Yuto is an ordinary college student who views himself as nothing more than an unremarkable "NPC" in the grand scheme of life. He goes through his days quietly, blending into the background at school and keeping to himself. His world revolves around gaming, anime, and escaping the harsh reality of his social invisibility. Yet, despite his attempts to stay unnoticed, he can’t shake the feeling that something is missing—especially when it comes to love. In his daily routine, Yuto faces the same struggles of rejection, loneliness, and self-doubt. He watches others live out their high school romance fantasies while he remains on the sidelines, quietly wishing for a chance to experience something meaningful. But when fate throws him into unexpected situations and confrontations, Yuto begins to question if he’ll always be a background character in his own life—or if, somehow, he’s destined for more than the ordinary existence he’s resigned himself to.

When I opened my eyes, I was inside a novel. [The Birth of a Hero]. [The Birth of a Hero] was a novel focused on the adventures of the main character, Choi Han, a high school boy who was transported to a different dimension from Earth, along with the birth of the numerous heroes of the continent. I became a part of that novel as the trash of the Count’s family, the family that oversaw the territory where the first village that Choi Han visits is located. The problem is that Choi Han becomes twisted after that village, and everyone in it, are destroyed by assassins. The bigger problem is the fact that this stupid trash who I’ve become doesn’t know about what happened in the village and messes with Choi Han, only to get beaten to a pulp. “…This is going to be a problem.” I feel like something serious has happened to me. But it was worth trying to make this my new life. DISCLAIMER: I am neither the author nor translator of the story. Please support author on official site. Translation credit: Eatapplepies

Ren, a typical high schooler, decides to take an alternate route home from school. Little did he know that this choice would lead him to his death...or did he? He's tasked with saving a world from it's demise by the hands of the Demon King. Sounds like a story full of adventure, right? However, a man naturally attracts a harem in this world due to it's declining population. And with relationships comes responsibilities. And that's just the tip of the iceberg as adjusting to a new world is not as simple as stories make it out to be. In addition, knowing that his actions can possibly cost the populace their lives leads to immense pressure on his shoulders. This is just some of what awaits the protagonist in just part 1 of this of this multipart and multiversal storyline. There are things moving on a much grander scale, and everything must be balanced, including his abnormal existence. Equilibrium is...inevitable. -comments- I had a few goals for writing this story, but this will come to light way down the line (probably in several years). I decided to go in the opposite direction from plots of similar stories. That's why I'll get most of the romance out of the way in the first 2 parts (loose plan). The rest of the parts will focus on world building and battles. If you think the protagonist is overpowered at the start...you have no idea. -the picture is AI generated and not an accurate reflection of the story. -I am a fulltime worker who writes irregularly and slowly (physical typing speed). I write when I can and will post once monthly. -nudity is depicted, but it is not of the 'ecchi' genre (hate panty shots and needless fan service that doesn't add to character development). -Intercourse happens but is not detailed. -this is a war stricken world, so unsavory things happen. Please keep that in mind for things unsaid but implied. I try to keep things as lighthearted as possible while trying to keep it as realistic as possible. -I wrote this as if watching it in my head, which influenced the writing style. Also, when reading novels, if there are multiple characters, I sometimes find it hard to distinguish who's talking as I can see multiple characters saying what was written. I decided to always make it clear who's talking, so it turned into a book/script/anime hybrid. -any feedback, including typos, are much appreciated. Upload Schedule: 1st of every month (wish I had time to do it more frequently, but alas, responsibilities. I am not writing to become an author, but only for myself and my own mental health. If the opportunity presented itself, sure, why not? However, I can't justify the risks for pursuing something I don't have an absolute diehard passion for. I have immense respect for those who can pursue it and overcoming the obstacles. I sincerely apologise to anyone reading it in its early days and wishes for more confident. I only thought of stories for myself for many years, but I found myself forgetting parts of my stories. That's why I decided to write them down and record them online, leaving a piece of me out there for hopefully eternity. My goal is not short-term, but very long-term. I just hope that someday, long after I'm gone, someone will read my work and they were happy that they had done so. Just the thought of that makes me content. I hope you understand that I would only upload more frequently and pursue a career in this if my work profoundly resonated with people, so much so that it basically forced me to be an author.

Photon crystallization technology casts human souls into glass, but it cannot seal the poisonous fog of lust for power - the energy tower of the Glow Council is about to burn out, the black market transactions of the Mirror Chamber of Commerce swallow up the starlight, and the doomsday bell of the Prism Knights has already sounded.

Forge and Glass is a journey of transformation, where Alaric, a young man with untapped potential, begins his quest as a raw, unshaped soul. His journey is a crucible, much like the process of forging metal in fire—burning away impurities, refining the core, and molding it into something strong, beautiful, and purposeful. The challenges Alaric faces are not just physical but spiritual, testing him to the limits of his mind, body, and soul. In a world where fire and glass hold opposing meanings—fire symbolizing strength and perseverance, glass representing fragility and truth—Alaric must learn to balance both extremes within himself. He discovers that the true alchemy of life lies in embracing the tension between strength and vulnerability. Through the trials, lessons, and betrayals he endures, he learns that his true power is found not by avoiding the cracks but by understanding and embracing them. Like a glassmaker shaping fragile material into something beautiful and resilient, Alaric’s journey becomes a process of self-discovery and deep personal growth. He faces hardships that shatter his perception of the world, only to rebuild himself with a clearer, wiser understanding of who he is and what he is capable of. His story is an invitation for readers to reflect on their own paths—how we are all shaped by the challenges we face, how moments of fragility can reveal our greatest strengths, and how the process of self-transformation is often a painful but necessary step towards achieving our fullest potential. Forge and Glass is more than just a story of overcoming trials—it’s a profound exploration of the human spirit. It asks: What happens when we embrace our imperfections? What becomes possible when we stop hiding our brokenness and instead let it reveal our deepest wisdom? This book will inspire anyone who has ever faced adversity, found themselves shattered, and risen from the ashes stronger and more self-aware.

I'm a special guy, no doubt. No one can do what I do. No one has the ability I have and if the government found out about what I can do, they'd probably lock me up to do thousands of experiments on me... and yet, I still manage to do everything wrong. Even with all the advantages anyone can possess and having the literal answers from the universe, I am absolutely lost. In fact, the universe and I have a rocky relationship and are in a constant fight. So, I hope you know that the universe is telling my story wrong. I am not a genius, I am not an innovative visionary and more importantly: I AM NOT GAY.
