Classroom Of The Elite Second Year

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned the brutal truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like.

Kurokawa Paddington, once a rising star of Nesdyria’s royal court, is cast out at seventeen and exiled to the shadowed walls of Greyman City.

In the shadowed heart of the kingdom of Arvenhall, where noble blood hides monstrous secrets, Anna becomes the second wife to a man from the most powerful noble house in the land—the Evans family. Though they are not royalty, the Evanses are close enough to it, holding a grip over the court that rivals even the King’s. To the public, they serve the crown. But in private, they may be the ones ruling it. From the moment Anna arrives at the Evans’ manor, she knows something is deeply wrong. Perfection isn’t just expected—it’s enforced. Every word, every smile, every silence feels staged. Lord and Lady Evan, regal and cold, are revered and feared across the kingdom, their influence stretching far beyond their estate. No one crosses them. Not even the King. And the King... he is distant, untouchable, watching. A man whose tragic past should have broken him—but didn’t. Rumors whisper he’s just a figurehead now, but others say he’s simply waiting, biding his time. The truth? No one knows. Except perhaps the Evans. Or perhaps he knows more than he lets on. They are each other’s shadows—caught in a silent war of power and secrets, with Anna now in the middle. Then there’s her husband—the man who chose her. Too quickly. Too deliberately. His devotion is obsessive, his gaze lingering, his touch possessive. He claims to love her. But is it really love? Or is Anna something else to him—a vessel, a key, or a pawn in a darker scheme? As Anna begins to pull at the threads of her new life, she finds herself trapped in a gilded cage of manipulation, madness, and supernatural ties far older than the kingdom itself. In a house where nothing is as it seems, being the second wife might mean she was never meant to leave. Because in Arvenhall, some women are chosen not to be loved—but to be kept.

In a society where the strong prey on the weak, where rival factions scheme in the dark, and where a single misstep could mean death, Ayato must quickly learn one thing—adapt, or perish. And one thing Ayato already knows is that in Avrael, only the ruthless survive.

He died saving a child. Now, in a world ruled by power and color, he might become its brightest hope — or its final warning. Akira Ramou lived an empty life — praised as the perfect son, admired for his strength, but hollow where it mattered most. After losing his father, he walked through each day as a ghost of himself.

Some entered Crestwood just to see him. They’d heard the name — a rumour more than a fact. Daniel Carter. A first-year student who somehow became the top of Shadow Legion. No one knew what to believe. Only that something happened last year. Among the new admissions were five students. Their intentions? Unclear. But even they couldn’t ignore the wave that hit the school on their very first day — an unexpected moment that sent whispers flying again. At the center of it all? The same name. Daniel Carter. Wherever they went, they heard it. His presence wasn’t loud, but it lingered. Crestwood used to be just a prestigious school. Now? It felt like a place built around something deeper, something darker. As the group tried to make sense of the changes, their attention turned to a certain second-year group. Confronting them led to answers. Slowly, piece by piece, they began to understand who Daniel really was. From being the topper of the school to leading a gang that now runs in the shadows… What changed him? What made the school change with him? The story begins here.

From defense to entertainment, from neural networks to world peace—this is the wild ride of a tech maverick who turned sci-fi into reality.

Everyone knows Aerry Bllen (we can’t say his real name for copyright reasons — but you know who he is): the fastest man alive. But if Aerry ran on foot, and Haruki Saionji ran with his thoughts, Haruki just might win three out of a hundred races. He’s not the smartest man alive — but he may very well be the fastest thinkable one. Sounds like a superpower, right? Not to his parents. To them, Haruki is just a problem — too strange, too intense, too different. So they send him to a boarding school designed to help “gifted” youths fit into society. But for Haruki, it’s not a school. It’s a prison. He wasn’t born to live inside the box. He was born to think outside it. And now, he’s planning the ultimate escape. Not a prison break. A school break. Will he outsmart the system before it breaks him?
