Zangetsu Rain Speech

In a realm where even the faintest shadows whisper untold tales, I came to realize that the forgotten often hold the most powerful narratives." As an avid admirer of the world's most beloved series, I never imagined that one night's rest would pull me into its very fabric. "Why on earth am I stuck in this world? And why, of all people, am I him?" I had become Arthur Nightingale—Class A’s most unremarkable student. A magic swordsman barely worthy of mention, ranked 8th among the first-years. A mere footnote in the grand story. Still, with this body’s abilities and my own insider knowledge, I figured I could carve out a peaceful life. Or so I believed. "This was the only way," the voice repeated, resolute. "The only way to stop her." Little did I know how truly unique Arthur Nightingale was—or the path this journey would force me to take...

Mia never believed in fate—until the night she met Liam. It was raining. He was standing alone beneath an old oak tree, lost in thought, his eyes filled with a sadness she couldn’t ignore. A simple conversation in the rain turned into late-night talks, quiet moments, and an unspoken connection that neither of them fully understood. Liam was an artist haunted by the past. Mia was a woman too focused on the future to notice what was missing in the present. Together, they found something unexpected—hope. But love is never simple, especially when fear stands in the way. And one day, without a goodbye, Liam disappeared. Now, standing under the same oak tree where it all began, Mia is left with unanswered questions, a heart full of what-ifs, and a choice: move on or believe that some connections are meant to find their way back. A story of love, loss, and the kind of bonds that weather every storm—When the Rain Fell is an emotional journey of resilience, healing, and the possibility of second chances.

A sudden crimson rain engulfs the world, shattering civilization and awakening a terrifying force buried deep within human DNA. Cities crumble into ruins, people mutate into monsters, and humanity’s greatest technological triumph becomes the source of its darkest nightmare. Alex Mercer, a cool-headed and fearless former international security advisor, becomes an unwilling participant in this apocalyptic game the night the disaster strikes Tokyo. When he awakens amidst the chaos, a cold, mechanical voice echoes in his mind—Evolution AI. This mysterious artificial intelligence doesn’t just grant him superhuman abilities; it pulls him into a conspiracy from which there is no escape. As the crimson rain spreads and the world’s order collapses, Alex must navigate through predator-like mutants and desperate survivors. The AI’s powers may be his only means to survive, but with every new evolution, he feels his humanity slipping further away. Crossing the wastelands of the Americas, infiltrating the decaying tech strongholds of Europe, and breaching Asia’s fortified enclaves, Alex uncovers the terrifying truth behind the crimson rain—this catastrophe may be the inevitable result of humanity’s own hubris. Is technology humanity’s salvation or its undoing? Is evolution the key to survival or a descent into madness? In a world drowned by crimson rain, Alex must choose: become the savior of the apocalypse or the ruler of a new world order. The end has come—but evolution is only beginning.

Wake up…. Josh found himself in a graveyard in the pouring rain, he had to cover his eyes with his hands.

She ran, for her life. Sage would often say she couldn't care less if she died but she wasn't ready, not yet. She ran not just for her life, but for her happiness, for her soul. She ran in to the wind with her dark curls waving in the air, and refused to jump at the sudden sound of thunder of the flash of lightning though she really was scared. She refused to slip on the damp ground and be caught in the rain, and be caught by them.

A world filled with swords, magic, and a kingdom embroiled in war. Immediately upon arrival, the class is asked to help a Human Kingdom win the ongoing war against a Demon King's forces. Only once victory is secured would it be possible for them to return home. Not all were swayed by the Kingdom's desperate pleas, however. Christopher Monty, a lifelong skeptic and skilled academic, wanted out before he was dragged into someone else’s mess. Disdaining his gullible former classmates, he began laying plans to escape and live out the rest of his days in this new world on his own terms. Using the cheat-like skills given to him by his transmigration and his unique Monster Tamer job, he will gather and train female monsters to help him escape. Once free, he’ll evolve his tamed monsters into human-like monster girls called Xenos, and fulfill his fantasy dream of building a monster girl harem. Life might not be easy in an alternate reality filled with magic, but Chris isn’t afraid to play dirty to achieve his goals and learn to thrive on the fantasy world of Lanka as the ruler of Xenos monsters, the first ever Xeno King.

*Currently on hiatus* *This is a slow burn harem story. The beginning is fairly light, with suggestive content picking up in later chapters. All characters participating in explicit content are 18 years of age, or older.* An American IT with a passion for magic and fantasy died on his 39th birthday as a virgin due to a stab to the gut while protecting a coworker of his. He might as well died a 'Wizard' that needed one more year to become a 'Sage.' Then, like in recent isekais, he was reincarnated in a new world as Soar Osmis with memories of his past life intact. This new magical world of Manara is where everyone has a chance to become an aspiring Magician, be blessed with powers by forming contracts with fairies as Chaperone and Companion, and special abilities called 'gifts,' and it just so happened that Soar was given the 'Wizard' gift at birth. Thus, began the mostly slice-of-life harem isekai story of a man reincarnated in a world centering around the very thing he loved: magic, as he trained and used the knowledge from his past life to carve a path to a new one on his own terms while growing as a 'Great Sage.' Some RPG game mechanics applied with a growing OP MC with humans and demi-humans as love interests. Profanity and little gory violence is included, characters in explicit sex scenes are at and above the legal age (MC won't have such scenes until his new body is around that age). Some scenes include yuri (F X F). Updates once a week.
