"If you had the chance to access any manga to gain its powers, which one would you choose?"

For centuries, they existed alongside humanity—beings with shifting forms, unnatural abilities, and no place to belong. Feared, hunted, and cast into the shadows, they were seen as monsters. Demons. Not because they were, but because it was the only way humans could understand them. When fear turned to control, they were captured. Experimented on. Locked away in labs deep underground, stripped of their names, their identities, their freedom. To the world above, they were nothing more than forgotten myths. But secrets never stay buried forever. Sixteen-year-old Ryu Mikael wasn’t thinking about any of that. He had bigger problems—like the homework he forgot to do. Instead of facing another lecture at school, he decided to ditch, heading into the mountains to get some peace and finally finish his work. Away from the noise. Away from everything. Then he saw him. A stranger. Standing there, still yet tense, his head tilting slightly—watching. There was something unnatural in the way he moved, like a predator studying prey. Then, in an instant, he lunged. And Mikael’s life changed forever.

The tale begins in a divine realm, where three deities—Kokou, Plutonia, and Ra—are mourning a tragic event that occurred three million years ago, an event that still weighs heavily on them. This mysterious tragedy has left the gods and demons divided, with many harboring hatred and regret. In the mortal realm, the story shifts to the Omi Kingdom, where two young brothers, Kor and Gor Kindel, are being prepared for a brutal test of strength by their cold and ruthless father, Bale Kindel. The test, resulted in Kor sacrificing himself to save Gor, triggering Gor's despair and awakening a cursed power within him. In another place Thia Leye, a young girl from a small village who, after witnessing the brutal death of her family and being captured by slavers, summons a dark curse in a desperate bid to survive. Meanwhile, in the Wize Kingdom, Prince Kin Orun struggles with his responsibilities and the betrayal of his step-uncle, who seizes the throne. The once-pampered prince is forced to flee into the desert, where he faces the harsh realities of life and ended up awakening an equally insidious curse as the previous two. The story intertwines these characters' fates, as they each grapple with their own battles, both internal and external, against forces far greater than themselves. As they confront their destinies, the lines between gods, demons, and mortals blur, leading to a climactic confrontation where the true nature of power, revenge, and redemption is revealed.

In a world teetering on the edge of chaos, Caius is forced to confront the unthinkable—his closest friend and brother-in-arms, Dylan, has been corrupted by a dark force. Once a beacon of hope and a defender of the weak, Dylan now stands as a twisted shadow of his former self, driven by the influence of an insidious power that preys on his doubts and guilt. When Caius confronts Dylan on the battlefield, he is torn between his duty to protect the world from the destruction Dylan could unleash and his desperate hope to save the friend he once knew. Despite Dylan’s distorted resolve to reshape the world at any cost, Caius refuses to give up on him, pleading for the spark of humanity he believes still lingers within. As their swords clash, the weight of their shared past and shattered brotherhood ignites a battle not just of strength, but of will and conviction. Caius must decide whether to fight for Dylan’s redemption or accept the painful reality that the only way to stop his friend might be to end him. This is a tragic tale of friendship, corruption, and the harrowing choices one must face when hope collides with despair.

Yang Kai, a disciple at the Jade Mountain Sect, has always been the laughing stock of his sect. Born with weak spiritual roots, he has struggled for years with stagnant cultivation and constant ridicule. An underdog through and through, he’s known for his lack of talent and his hopeless future.

The Ashwood Hotel is no ordinary abandoned place. It is a living tomb. In 1930, a mysterious fire claimed the lives of 23 people within its opulent halls—including a girl whose body was never found. Since then, the walls have whispered with silenced screams, ash rains from the ceiling, and anyone who enters the hotel becomes part of its eerie legend. When four young urban explorers venture into the decaying building, they have no idea that they are not only facing ghosts but the hotel itself. Sven, the anxious one with a knack for seeing the invisible. Natalia, the diva who feels her facade of sarcasm and lipstick beginning to crack. Jacob, the tough guy whose cool demeanor dissolves into smoke. And Lucas, the idealist who realizes too late that some spirits don’t want to be photographed. But the Ashwood is hungry. Its corridors shift, its victims return as shadows, and the stench of smoke becomes a choking reality. When the group realizes they haven’t ended up here by chance—that the hotel has called them—a race against an unrelenting past begins. But how do you fight walls that breathe? And what happens when the spirit hunting you... is your own reflection?

He was summoned to this world to save it. He fought for it, to save his sister. Shawn was an emerging engineer before a portal pulled him and his cousin from Earth. He was told by the person who summoned him that they would save the world. Except, his summoner just used the last of her divinity to get him here, and they're outmatched against her insidious, power-hungry brother. He commands an army of zealots determined to make the world whole, or shatter what’s left of the hollow planet to pieces. But Shawn has a mission of his own, to find his sister, kidnapped to this strange planet of gods, magic and monsters. He makes a deal to help his depowered summoner, in exchange for helping launch a rescue mission, and imbues a dangerous power into himself. Now armed with the powers of fire, ice, and force, plus his engineering knowledge, he'll equip his friends with cutting-edge weapons and equipment inspired by Earth technology to give them the edge they need, and jump-start a magitech revolution. Shawn and his allies will delve deep into this nested realm of monsters, mysteries, and secrets, toward the core world in their efforts to confront a tyrant deity… Take flight into the depths of Remaria! What to expect: * A fantasy adventure into a fractured world, with detailed worldbuilding and complex characters. The main POV is Shawn for 80-90% of the story. * Progression elements are more than numbers--allies will bond, powers will grow, and tech will advance. * Violence and danger are lurking elements in Remaria, as are mysteries and secrets buried within the depths of the world. * Rating: PG-13. There's violence, the heroes have old wounds in their past, and some language. Expect some sensual content of a non-explicit kind down the line. * This story is a somewhat slow burn. The characters will keep progressing, as will the dangers they face.

Kayn just wants a normal school life. No drama, no trouble—just study hard, blend in, and become a Royal Knight. But there’s one tiny problem… He looks like the final boss of a dark fantasy game. Towering muscles? Check. Demonic red eyes? Yep. Mysterious aura of overwhelming doom? Unfortunately, yes. And just to make things worse: Zero magic (but can punch a dragon into orbit). Completely immune to spells (mages are crying). Every weapon he touches instantly breaks (at this point, it's just sad). Despite his best efforts to be a normal student, everyone is losing their minds. The so-called "hero" candidates are convinced he’s the reincarnation of a legendary Demon Lord and live in constant fear of his “inevitable world domination.” The professors and nobles despise him because he’s a peasant. And worst of all? Every villainess in the academy is in love with him. Cold-blooded crime heiresses, mischievous assassins, and even demon princesses see Kayn as their perfect bad-boy soulmate. No matter how hard he tries to avoid trouble, misunderstandings keep throwing him into the spotlight! His dream of a peaceful student life? DEAD ON ARRIVAL. Now, Kayn has to survive academy life without accidentally conquering the school, triggering an all-out war, or—heaven forbid—becoming the next Demon Lord. (Seriously, why does everyone think that?!)

“What happens when you come face to face with the end of the world, get saved and taken to a new one, apparently?
