(I entered the WSA contest, I hope for your support) After defeating the "Great Evil" Antares, Liam was reincarnated 10,000 years into the future as Lucius Behringer, and he was awakened along with something called a "Hero Window" that only he can see, and the Hero Window's only function is to regain the power of his previous life. However, in the future, only three of the four Heroes are mentioned. Liam, who defeated the Great Evil Antares, seems to be unknown, and his name is only remembered as a "Hero of No Merit." To find out why he is not recognized as the hero who defeated the Great Evil Antares, Lucius must travel to the "Hero Sanctuary," one of the four hero academies in the world. To find out why he is not mentioned, he needs to enter and investigate something called the "Fragmented Dimension," where only a few entrances exist in the world, and the Hero Sanctuary has one of those entrances.

On an ordinary day, Lucius stumbled upon a strange, run-down shop. At first, he assumed it was abandoned—until he stepped inside. [You have entered the Universal Alchemy Store.] [Congratulations! You are now the store’s owner.] [Please craft your first potion.] Lucius blinked. 'What kind of joke is this?' But as if guided by an unseen force, he followed the instructions. Minutes later, his first creation was complete. [Love Potion: The drinker will fall in love with the first person they lay eyes on.] Lucius swallowed hard. 'Wait… does this actually work?' Before he could process it, the shop’s door swung open. Standing in the entrance was no ordinary customer—she was an elf. Long, pointed ears, mesmerizing green eyes, and a body sculpted by the gods. A visitor from another world. A dangerous thought crept into his mind. 'Should I test it on her?' ----------------- Disclaimer: This book has mature content.

Kyle's life was lazy and ordinary, but little did he know something extraordinary lay dormant deep inside his body. All his life, he remained unaware that everything happens for a reason. Everything changed when he turned 16. His older brothers, fed up with his laziness, devised a plan to teach him a lesson. They urged him to take the entrance test for a prestigious academy, thinking that getting a beating in the test would instill some sense into their lazy brother. Kyle was stunned, speechless, but due to their coordinated planning, he reluctantly agreed with a hint of resignation. "I don't think I will pass the test anyway, so trying it for the experience isn't a big deal." "The only problem is, I can't guarantee that all my body parts will stay intact until the end of the entrance test." But to Kyle's shock, he passed the test without even lifting a finger!
