Twenty years ago, my little sister was kidnapped by another world's summoning spell. Twenty years later, I’ve finally hijacked my way into that world! And now, I'm searching for her. Angels? Demons? Gods? Or even Fate itself? So what? I don't fucking care! I will find my sister, even if I have to tear this world apart! ___________________________________ Read this story if you are looking for: - A genuinely smart main character who wasn't a loser in his past life and doesn't get spoon-fed too much superpowers or cheats. He becomes strong through sheer willpower, overcoming hardship, and outsmarting impossible odds, winning seemingly unwinnable fights. - A harem, but not the typical kind. The main character won't chase any girl like a literal simp. Also, the girls aren’t flat, two-dimensional tropes either. Each has depth, distinct personalities, powerful backstories and real emotional impact on the MC. Also, the MC is mature, so expect meaningful and serious relationships, not the cringey, child-like and meaningless romance drama. - A thrilling and well-thought-out plot filled with betrayal, deception, mystery, and plot twists at every turn. Friends become enemies, enemies become allies. Even those who seem trustworthy may later reveal their true, wicked nature. In this ruthless world, everyone has their own ideals and goals, and the line between good and evil isn’t always clear. - No yuri. - A unique blend of isekai, western-style cultivation, and even regression plot.

Synopsis – When We Were Strangers Emma Cruz and Liam Navarro have known each other since elementary school — two quiet souls sharing the same classrooms, hallways, and lunch breaks, yet never truly noticing each other. They weren’t friends, weren’t enemies, just two names that passed each other like strangers on a train. But during their final year of high school, fate brings them side by side once again — this time, as classmates in the same section. What begins as small talk soon grows into something deeper. Emma, the driven and organized honor student, and Liam, the quiet boy with a poet’s soul, find unexpected comfort in each other’s presence. Slowly, a quiet bond forms — one built not on grand gestures, but on shared silences, lingering glances, and the steady unfolding of trust. As they navigate academic pressures, family expectations, and the uncertainty of their future paths, Emma and Liam begin to redefine what it means to really *know* someone. But when life forces them to confront unspoken feelings and the possibility of separation after graduation, they must decide: will they remain just two people who finally noticed each other too late, or can their story become something more? Told across thirty emotionally rich chapters, *When We Were Strangers* is a slow-burn love story about timing, growth, and the quiet kind of love that blooms when you least expect it — the kind that changes everything.
