In a world where destiny is a binding force, Wumian, a man marked by greed and ambition, finds himself locked in a brutal, life-or-death battle against his brother, a warrior of light who believes in the morality of their world. As thunder crashes and rain pours, their swords clash in a fierce duel, with each combatant questioning the righteousness of their cause. Wumian rejects the idealistic notion of morality, arguing that it is merely a justification for the powerful to control the weak. Driven by his desire to fight for his survival, he challenges the system that dictates their fate, questioning whether anyone truly knows what is good or evil. As the battle intensifies, Wumian’s memories drift to a time long ago on a distant planet, where he, once a cold and calculating conqueror, pondered the very purpose of his existence. Having sacrificed everything, including his humanity, to fulfill a predestined role, he wonders if it was all worth it. With his fate tied to a world he no longer cares for, Wumian's desire to break free becomes all-consuming. But when a powerful, mystical force intervenes, Wumian is suddenly thrust into a new reality—one where he wakes up in a different body, smaller and helpless. He now faces the terrifying possibility that his entire life has been part of a larger cosmic game, with forces beyond his comprehension orchestrating his every move. As Wumian struggles to regain control over his destiny, he must confront the true nature of his existence and the meaning of free will. Can he break the chains that bind him, or is he forever doomed to repeat his past mistakes? “I lost everything to fulfill a destiny I didn’t choose… but now, I’ll rewrite my story.”

"You're going crazy," she announces, grabbing her things. "I'm leaving." She's halfway to the door when his words stop her cold.

In the hyper-connected world of 2075, where Artificial General Intelligence hums beneath the surface of society and meta-humans, gifted with extraordinary abilities, walk among us, power is the only currency that truly matters. Ren, a student at Japan's elite meta-human academy, understands this better than most. His ability, Localized Chronokinesis, the subtle manipulation of time in a confined space, is often dismissed as support-class, but beneath the surface lies a mind of cold calculation and ruthless ambition. Unlike the heroes lauded in history books, Ren harbors no grand ideals of justice. He sees the academy's rigorous training, the cutthroat competition of Magi Duels, and the strategic complexities of Cognitive Wargames as mere stepping stones. He is a predator in a world of evolving apex predators, and his unique control over time is a tool to be honed, exploited, and weaponized for his own ascent. His sisters, the powerfully impulsive Akari and the brilliantly analytical Hikari, are not just family; they are assets to be managed in his grand design. The looming shadow of global power blocs, the simmering tensions between nations, and the intricate web of clan politics within Japan are not threats to be overcome, but opportunities to be seized. Ren's path is not that of a savior, but of a manipulator. He will exploit every advantage, forge alliances with calculated precision, and dismantle his rivals with chilling efficiency. He sees the world not as it should be, but as it is – a game of power, and he intends to win, no matter the cost. Witness the rise of a calculating mind in The Intelligence Age, where the quietest power can be the deadliest, and the line between genius and villain is razor thin.

Dragonic Scales RR In a world where duels determine everything from power to prestige, Jarek stands at the crossroads of revolution. His unique ability to craft cards, specifically tailored to a duelist’s soul, makes him a rare and dangerous player in an underground system controlled by corporate monopolies. These corporations dominate the legal production and distribution of cards, making it nearly impossible for rogue creators like Jarek to thrive. But a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is about to change that. The story begins with Jarek trading his custom-crafted cards to Benji, a nervous young duelist whose soul card—Chaos Rabbit of Trickery—has great potential but lacks the necessary support. Jarek sees an opportunity in Benji, not just to test his creations, but to use him as part of a much larger plan. The annual Card Kings tournament is approaching, a high-stakes event where the winner gains a coveted prize: the freedom to legally produce and distribute their own cards without interference from the corporations. For Jarek, this tournament represents his chance to dismantle the system that keeps independent card creators in the shadows. By partnering with powerful duelist and others, he plans to showcase the power of his custom-made cards and disrupt the carefully controlled market. But the tournament is no easy feat—it’s a brutal, cutthroat competition where duels are not just about winning, but survival. And with some of the most powerful duelists and corporate-backed teams entering the fray, the stakes have never been higher. Jarek’s strategy is to introduce chaos—literally. His custom cards, like Moonlight Chaos, turn seemingly weak, multiplying rabbits into rampaging, unstoppable forces, reflecting the unpredictable nature of his approach. He knows that if his partners can make a strong showing in the tournament, his reputation as an underground card creator will explode, drawing more attention to his abilities and challenging the monopolies. As the tournament progresses, alliances are made and broken, duels are fought in brutal arenas, and Jarek must not only outwit his opponents but also navigate the dangers of the underground world. If he can pull off his plan, he’ll gain not just the freedom to create, but the power to reshape the entire dueling world. However, failure means more than just losing—it could mean the end of his career, his freedom, and possibly his life.

In a lush, self-contained terrarium, Rollan, a solitary isopod, has known only the safety of his miniature world. Beneath the moss, soil, and decaying wood lies a predictable existence, shielded by the glass walls that define his reality. But when a jagged, glowing rock disrupts the tranquil balance of the terrarium, it brings with it a mysterious and imposing creature—a being from "the beyond" with a chilling message: the terrarium is merely a shell, and the world Rollan knows is breaking. As the intruder challenges the harmony of the small community, Rollan emerges as an unlikely leader, rallying his fellow creatures—ants, beetles, springtails, and spiders—against the creature’s divisive philosophy of domination. Together, they defend their unity against the growing crack in their fragile world, even as it reveals glimpses of something far greater and far more dangerous. When the shell finally shatters, Rollan and his companions are thrust into an infinite, surreal expanse beyond the glass. Facing an enigmatic force of light and the daunting vastness of the "beyond," Rollan must grapple with his newfound role as a guide and protector in a world that dwarfs his understanding.

In a world where power and prestige are everything, Akita Matsumoto is content with his role as a background character at the prestigious Arcanis Academy. Surrounded by prodigies and future heroes, he’s just another face in the crowd — and he plans to keep it that way. But when his unusual Essence Weaving ability, Coin Flip, starts drawing unwanted attention, Akita quickly finds himself entangled in the academy’s chaotic undercurrents. Coin Flip is as unpredictable as it sounds: one flip can grant Akita incredible strength, while the next could curse him with bizarre debuffs. This unreliable power should’ve cemented his status as a harmless nobody. Instead, it places him at the center of a storm involving rival students, powerful mages, and sinister forces lurking in the shadows of the academy. Thrown into dangerous duels, school politics, and high-stakes tournaments, Akita is forced to navigate the cutthroat world of the academy’s elite. Alongside enigmatic allies like Elara Moonshadow, a lethal assassin with a hidden agenda, and Lira Starfall, a prodigy mage whose powers are as mysterious as her smile, Akita learns that staying unnoticed might be harder than he thought. As threats both internal and external converge on the academy, Akita’s chaotic abilities may be the key to survival — but only if he can learn to harness them before they tear him apart. With his every move dictated by a coin toss, Akita must find his own path between hero and villain, forging alliances, outwitting rivals, and, most importantly, trying to stay alive in a world that’s anything but predictable. In a school of legends and prodigies, how does a ‘mob character’ like Akita Matsumoto find his place? By embracing the chaos.

The people in this world possess a Card, a supernatural ability. Our protagonist, on the other hand, possesses the latent ability called “Death Battle.” which allows him to respawn back in time to the beginning of a battle, duel or fight if he dies or loses, with the only solution being either a draw or win. With the help of this ability and no combat prowess, he enrolls as a fake student in one of the academies with the help of a secret ally, to find his lost sister, who went missing in this city. The story explores his morality as he tries to tackle the challenges that come with his ability, “Death Battle.” Each death is as painful and he gets little to no time to prepare for fights, so he often has to sacrifice his life multiple times to have a slight chance at understanding his opponents.
