But peace like that never lasts. Not when your very existence defies Heaven and Hell. Eventually, something breaks. Shadows from the past. Whispers of a future he was never meant to survive. Secrets that claw their way to the surface. Visions he can’t explain. And something inside him begins to wake up. Born of the Devil. Forged by a legendary witch. Baptized in fire and the blood of demons. This history—his truth—was buried to protect him. A curse cast by a mother desperate to save her child from the darkness he was destined to become.

There, where all who carry heavy pasts gather, hiding them behind towering walls...

Will he escape this inferno— or will its flames consume his body until nothing remains but ash? Eras and realms collide and intertwine, forging a twisted, uncertain reality... But is it even real at all?

A top student, admired for his brilliance and composure, Akira is secretly drowning in expectations and isolation. That begins to change when he’s seated next to Airi Tachibana, a quiet book-loving girl who doesn’t smile just to please or look at him with admiration.

In a world where magic defines one's worth, three souls walk a path toward an uncertain destiny—each bearing a power that can shape the fate of nations. Lucas, the God’s Chosen Sorcerer, wields divine magic that bends reality itself, blessed by forces beyond mortal comprehension. A shining beacon of hope—or a harbinger of destruction—his path is riddled with expectations he never asked for. Celia, the Queen of Curses, commands a power feared by even the strongest mages. She carries the weight of a past filled with whispers and condemnation, but where others see a curse, she sees the strength to carve her own future. Kaiser, the Unwanted Void, stands apart. Neither blessed nor cursed, he is the anomaly that should not exist. In a world that measures worth by magic, he is a shadow in the light—yet, the abyss within him holds something far greater than mere sorcery. Together, they are bound by fate yet divided by their own battles. As war brews and forgotten gods stir, the lines between hero and villain blur. In the end, their choices will decide more than just their own lives—they will determine the very foundation of their world. This is their journey. This is their Last Step.

In a future where monstrous creatures have destroyed human civilization to the brink of extinction, a 17-year-old teenager named Ilyas awakens—only to find himself back in the past.

An Epic Tale of Gods, Creation, and Betrayal In a realm beyond time, where stars are born from breath and worlds are shaped by will, Bhravum, the God of Gods, reigns supreme. With unmatched knowledge won by sacrificing half his soul, he forged the Five Realms—heavenly Zephyra, the angelic skies of Elysera, the battleground of Valekar, mortal Earth, and the dark abyss of Nerakhul. At his side stands Freyuma, a cosmic being of warmth and magic, mother of nature, and the lifeblood of all existence. Together, they maintain divine order with the help of loyal guardians: Suya, the Sun God; Sandhy, the light of life; Chayum, the Moon’s keeper; Saynuma, the warrior-minister; and Alraz, protector of the heavens. But beneath even the deepest realm, in a place lost to time and light, something ancient begins to stir. Vuyamin—once a god, now a monstrous serpent of void and venom—was cast out for daring to steal the divine throne. Imprisoned beneath creation, his hatred has only grown. Now, whispers of his return reach the stars. As the balance of the universe begins to crack, an ancient prophecy resurfaces. The gods must prepare for a war not just of power, but of destiny—because the greatest threat to creation… was once part of it.

The sky tore open—and the earth followed. One by one, the seals broke. And with them, hell answered the call. Not in whispers. Not in shadows. But in flame, storm, and death. Cities fell. Oceans rose. The righteous vanished without a trace, and the damned were left to face what crawled from the void. The demons had broken the ancient covenant—a pact that held the balance between heaven, hell, and humanity. And in their treachery, the world was left defenseless. So the Divine issued a command: “Send me an army.” But none answered. None, except nine. Nine demons rose from the ashes of their own damnation. Not out of loyalty. Not out of guilt. But for something deeper—honor, purpose, redemption. They would fight their own kind. Protect the world they once helped break. They are not heroes. They are not saviors. They are the Hell‘s 9.

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?

Returning to her life when she was still 18 years old, the first thing Ling Yu did was sever the relationship with her so- called family and run to the countryside, to which they thought she had given up.

The thing they called Apocalypse, Natural Disaster or what not, Ling Yu knew that things were deeper than that. With doors to another world appearing in this realm, monsters pouring out and humans gaining special abilities, nothing was able to stop the world from destroying. However, along with the system’s help, Ling Yu was determined to survive this time, thus she started on the epic journey to find her family, as well as people who will join hands together to stop the end of the world.

Amano Haruya, a quietly observant 19-year-old, lives an invisible life: broke, orphaned, and walking Tokyo’s margins one courier job at a time. But one cold morning, a system appears—offering not hope, but function: “Every step you take from now on is worth money.” Not magic. Not fantasy. Just perfectly legal, traceable income from every step. Starting from ¥1 per step, the system builds momentum—and slowly begins to layer in daily log-in rewards (including company shares, rare skills, properties) and special challenge tasks like auctions or social deals. At first, Haruya uses the system to survive. Then to build. Then to infiltrate. Soon, he’s spotted in high-society auctions, invited to investor dinners, and even mistaken as the secret heir of a forgotten zaibatsu. He never confirms it—but he never denies it either. As his asset portfolio grows to include major stakes in billion-yen firms, exclusive-use vending contracts, urban land, and a set of scalable passive skills, Haruya becomes both a ghost and a legend in Tokyo’s financial undercurrent. All without ever telling anyone the truth. But rivals emerge. Influencers and heirs get curious. And the system, though passive, keeps nudging him forward. Because Haruya isn’t walking for money anymore. He’s walking to own the country.

Hell Minds What if the stories you told… started to tell themselves back? Kaira, a sharp-witted teen with a voice made for the mic, starts a podcast with her four closest friends—Malik the skeptic, Juno the tech genius, Ezra the horror buff, and Lia the quiet empath. Their show, Hell Minds, is meant to be a fun dive into the world’s most terrifying real-life ghost stories—from haunted dolls to cursed houses. But as the podcast gains popularity, strange things begin happening. The lights flicker every time Ezra speaks. Malik dreams of voices he never heard before. Lia swears the ghosts are listening. And one day, their latest episode doesn’t upload—because the file has been changed. Someone… or something… added a voice that doesn’t belong to any of them. Now, the friends aren’t just telling ghost stories. They’re living them. And the deeper they dig, the more they realize: some stories want to be left alone.

"...You know what I do to people I don't like?" White lashes lowered, a stark contrast against his hair-proof that the color was real. "No, Boss." "I fucking kill them." His eyes glinted again, but he said nothing, just nodded. "You're not afraid of dying, are you?" "No, Boss." "Shame." *** When Ian is assigned a bodyguard by his friend and trusted associate, he refuses. No crime boss needs a bodyguard-it's the only way to keep his crumbling dignity intact. Yet he relents. Not because of the white-haired man who immediately gets under his skin, not because he hates his guts, and definitely not because he nearly killed the stray the first time they crossed paths. If Ian were honest, he doesn't know why this guy affects him so much. But he might be right to be wary. After a series of heated and dangerous encounters, Ian begins to suspect that his bodyguard isn't who he claims to be.

Somewhere in the depths of space… An object pulsed faintly, radiating light—yet at the same time, it seemed to absorb it. Its size was impossible to measure, as if its very existence defied the laws of reality. Anything that approached—asteroids, stars, even light itself—was consumed without a trace, disappearing into the void. If one were to observe closely, they would see the fabric of space twisting and distorting around it, yet somehow appearing stable—as if reality itself were an illusion.  Its rough, circular shape resembled what humans might call a black hole—though whether that truly defined its nature was a question beyond understanding. Its location? Fortunately for humankind, it was nowhere near the Milky Way galaxy. Suddenly, a streak of white and gold light erupted from the black hole's center, cutting through the darkness with blinding speed. It shot into the depths of space, with no sign of slowing or changing course. Its destination? Unknown.
