The Returner'S Magic Should Be Special Manhwa

[WSA 2025 Entry] Ivan Mendoza, a world-renowned robotics engineer, met his end at the hands of those who feared his genius. But death was not the end. Awakening in the body of Kael Valtieri, heir to a destitute border territory in the magical kingdom of Ardania, Ivan finds a second chance in an unfamiliar world driven by arcane forces. In this realm, magic reigns supreme, yet it is woefully inefficient and bound by antiquated traditions. Armed with the knowledge of advanced robotics and engineering from his past life, Kael sets out to merge science with sorcery, aiming to revolutionize the very fabric of magic. His quest? To uplift his impoverished territory and safeguard it against the lurking dangers beyond the border. But Kael’s journey takes a thrilling turn when he stumbles upon the remnants of an ancient, forgotten civilization. Hidden within their ruins lies golem technology—astonishing constructs far superior to anything Earth’s science could fathom. Driven by curiosity and ambition, Kael deciphers their secrets, melding ancient ingenuity with his modern intellect to forge unprecedented defenses. As Kael uncovers the dark history of this world, he learns of rifts that once unleashed monstrous beings from other dimensions, nearly annihilating humanity. Though a powerful artifact sealed these rifts, its strength is waning, and an impending cataclysm looms. Now, with time running out and the continent teetering on the brink of another monstrous invasion, Kael must wield his hybrid mastery of science and magic to confront the rising tide of darkness. Can one man, armed with the knowledge of two worlds, avert a catastrophe and carve out a new destiny? Prepare for an epic tale of innovation, mystery, and survival in a world where the past and future collide.

In the world of Kalhalla, where gods have fallen and their souls lie dormant in crimson crystals, a wretched outcast dares to reshape fate. Kaelis, an 18 year old so hideous and despised that even beggars turn their noses up at him, has only known rejection, scorn, and betrayal. But with the Hammer of Uuen, a relic of unknown power gifted to him as a child, he can do the impossible—reforge the bodies from the souls of the dead, only the ones who died in the war between Gods and Demons. His goal? To forge the one thing the world has denied him: a goddess who will love him. But every goddess he forges turns against him in absurd and terrifying ways. Some try to kill him, others break free, and none see him as anything more than a mistake. Yet, Kaelis refuses to stop. Even as enemies close in, as ancient beings hunt him, villains rising in power, and as the truth of his origins begins to surface... he keeps forging. Because Kaelis has one secret he can’t afford to ignore. He’s dying. And before death claims him, he will forge a goddess who will.

A beautiful woman named Seira, participated in the selection as a royal servant. She was chosen to be a servant of the royal family, especially the Emperor's family. She worked as a servant very well, and followed all the orders of the Emperor and other royal members. But one day, she was sent to serve three of the Emperor's knights who were known to be very cruel and dangerous. Three men who were feared by everyone because they were like dogs ready to take orders from their master, no matter what. "My name is Seira, I was sent from the palace to treat you and serve what you need while in this mansion." Seira was placed to do everything they needed, even including what they wanted. However, Seira's arrival made the leader of the knights curious about her. "You're very different from all the servants sent to serve us. You're not like those who leave scared," said their leader, Harvey Van Desmond. That raised a question, especially considering how Seira never showed the slightest fear of them unlike when everyone was scared even hearing their names. It was all because of a goal she had all along to get back into the palace. However, what was her reason for doing so? "Who are you, Seira?"

But he is not alone - joined by powerful allies of mysterious origins and extraordinary powers, they set out to unravel the secrets of their origin and their world. They awaken forces beyond their understanding. Gods, demons, and legendary beasts stir from their slumber, and the truth they seek may reshape, or doom the world.

In the labyrinthine heart of a city perpetually teetering on the brink of chaos, where shadows conceal the lurking menace of hardened criminals and danger lurks around every corner, the elite Special Weapons and Tactics team, known as S.W.A.T., stands as the unwavering shield protecting the innocent. Their mission: to restore order from the precipice of anarchy, to navigate the treacherous terrain of high-stakes confrontations, and to ensure the city's survival against the relentless tide of lawlessness. Leading this crack team is Sergeant John Tuck, a man known simply as "Tucker"—a seasoned veteran whose steely gaze belies a sharp mind and unwavering resolve. His leadership is forged in the crucible of countless perilous operations, his decisions often the difference between life and death. Under his command is a brotherhood of highly skilled operatives, each a specialist in their own right, bound together by shared experiences and an unbreakable loyalty. There's David, the meticulous strategist, whose analytical prowess anticipates every move of their adversaries; Devlin, the explosive expert, whose controlled detonations open paths through seemingly impenetrable obstacles; Hodges, the sharpshooter, whose precision is legendary, capable of neutralizing threats from impossible distances; Bravo, the master of infiltration, whose stealth and cunning allow them to penetrate the most heavily guarded strongholds; and Buck, the unwavering force, whose raw strength and tactical acumen provide an impenetrable wall of defense. Together, this tightly knit unit faces down the city's most dangerous elements, confronting heavily armed gangs, sophisticated criminal organizations, and desperate individuals pushed to the edge. Their battles are fought not just on the streets, but within the confines of their own minds, as they grapple with the moral ambiguities of their profession, the psychological toll of constant exposure to violence, and the ever-present threat hanging over their lives and the lives of those they protect. This is their story—a story of courage, sacrifice, and the unwavering dedication to upholding justice in a city that desperately needs it.

"The Sword Saint Who Saved a Ruined World." Baek Seung-woo, the Sword Saint who once saved a world on the brink of destruction. The wars had long ended, and yet—I found myself possessed within a novel written by a former comrade. Originally, I was supposed to be a mere side character—a minor antagonist who tormented the protagonist before meeting a miserable end. But... "Why the hell am I an instructor? And what's with this damn tail?" Thrown into a world I barely knew, a story I had never read—only overheard in passing, I was lost in a world where the line between reality and fiction blurred. To make matters worse, the weapon in my hands wasn't a sword, but magic. No goal. No knowledge of how this story unfolds. For now, I have only one priority—Survival. Because for me, that's the only way forward. *** For advance chapters visit my Patreon. Link: patreon.com/aarvan

The surviving Mages were looked down upon by the rest of the world. Normal Mages, that is. The Mages from the Strongest Magic Family, the Vesta Family, were an exception.

Upon his arrival, he is saved by a giant pixie fairy (she originated from an island of giants and hence has the size of an average human) who becomes his companion and guide. Working as a detective in this new world, he finds himself in the midst of a world torn by conflict between two opposing civilizations - one relying on magic and mythical creatures and the other on the technology of the 1930s, when mysterious "Engineers" had arrived. The protagonist has to survive and navigate this dangerous and unfamiliar world with the help of his friends, using his skills to survive and solve crimes while uncovering the truth behind his sudden transfer and the ongoing conflict. In a way, it's a retelling of the Peter Pen story. But in a particular way. The book was published on paper a few years ago and was well-accepted.

But this time, he carries not only the weight of his past betrayals but also the key to the world's salvation—or its ultimate destruction.

As rival kingdoms crumble and ancient forces awaken, the Necrotic Magic Swordsman must confront his greatest challenge yet: himself.

Edward Blake never imagined that death would be the least of his worries. When a tragic accident thrusts him into the pages of Obsidian Chronicles, a manhwa he barely remembered reading, he wakes up as Edward Arclight, the disgraced Duke of a crumbling estate in the mighty Aurelis Empire. Once a powerful family that shaped the empire’s history, the Arclights now hold nothing but a hollow title and a barren land plagued by unrest and debt. The world Edward finds himself in is one of magic intertwined with relics of advanced technology. After an apocalypse a thousand years ago shattered civilization, humanity rebuilt from the ashes, blending ancient tech with powerful magic to forge kingdoms and empires. Yet this fragile society now faces a growing threat—the return of the Demon King, a malevolent being sealed away by ancient heroes during the apocalypse but never truly defeated. Edward’s headache intensifies when he realizes the manhwa’s destined protagonist—the hero meant to lead the charge against the Demon King—doesn’t exist in this version of the story. With no chosen savior and no script to follow, Edward is left with one horrifying conclusion: the responsibility to save the world might fall to him. But Edward Arclight is a duke in name only, and his people, bitter and downtrodden, see him as a symbol of failure. With dwindling resources, fractured alliances, and a land teetering on rebellion, Edward must rise from obscurity to rebuild the legacy of his house. Along the way, he discovers hidden truths about the apocalypse, the origins of the Demon King, and the mysterious artifacts of magic and technology that could hold the key to saving—or dooming—the world. Caught in a web of political intrigue, ancient prophecies, and the looming shadow of annihilation, Edward must rally reluctant allies, outwit his enemies, and awaken the power hidden within his family’s forgotten heritage. In a world where magic and technology collide and destiny has been thrown into chaos, the forgotten duke must rewrite his own fate and face the ultimate question: Can a side character defy fate and become a hero?
