As a child with an unattainable dream, I yearned to become a Hero, but I veered off the right path. Looking back, my aspiration to save others was nothing more than a foolish dream. I now realize the magnitude of my sins and the impossibility of atoning for them.

One night, in the bustling urban streets of Kyoto, Sato, a weary businessman, trudged along in his usual formal attire. Consumed by a life defined solely by work and sleep, he found himself at a crossroads of despair. Years of relentless dedication to his career had left him without the simple joys of life: the freedom to eat and drink as he pleased, the chance to enjoy his passions, or even the warmth of a family. He realized that in his pursuit of success, he'd forgotten what it meant to truly live. In a desperate attempt to escape his overwhelming thoughts, Sato drowned his sorrows in a nearby bar, drinking away the emptiness that filled him. As the night wore on, he stumbled out into the streets, barely able to keep his balance. But fate had other plans. Drunk and disoriented, Sato was struck by a speeding truck and fell into darkness. When he awoke, he found himself in a vast, empty void—surrounded by nothingness. Before him appeared a radiant figure: a woman dressed in a glowing, ethereal gown. With serene grace, she spoke, revealing that Sato’s life was not yet over. He had been granted an extraordinary second chance—a chance to be reincarnated in another world, where he could finally live the life he'd always dreamed of, free from the confines of his former existence. Reborn as a baby named Souta Laurent, he now finds himself in a new world, far from the world of workaholic ambition. His parents are simple, ordinary citizens, living humbly in this unfamiliar realm. But as Souta grows, a question begins to linger in his mind: What does it truly mean to be a civilian in a world so different from the one he once knew?

Lavender faced the ultimate betrayal after discovering that her fiancé, the man she loved most, had been using her all along. He had only dated her to seek revenge against her father and to claim everything her late mother had left her as a gift to his real fiancee. Devastated, Lavender lost everything she owned to him, and her family was plunged into dire poverty as a result. Heartbroken, she fled her past, running away from her disowned father and the agonizing pain. She dedicated her life to caring for the "blessings" her ex-fiancé had left behind. But just when Lavender thought she had found a measure of peace, everything starts falling apart again. Forced to reconcile with her ex, Lavender is torn—he is a changed man now, but to her, he remains an enemy. As her bottled-up emotions resurface, past cases reopening, and his persistent efforts to win back her affection intensify, how long can Lavender's hatred last?

I'm less than thrilled to be moving back to Neyland, and the worst part is that my childhood friend Tony Nathan is going to be my neighbour and classmate again. We've known each other since we were kids, but I had to move to Korea with my family a few years ago. Now, I'm returning to London and will be attending Royalty High School, one of the best schools in the city. While I'm relieved to have someone to talk to, I have to admit that Tony can be pretty annoying. He's always been dashingly handsome and smart, but also rude and infuriating at times. Despite our friendship, I've never been a huge fan of his. As I settle into my new life, I'm surprised to discover that we'll be living in the most expensive estate in Neyland - and that we'll be living with Tony's family, the Black family! My parents are best friends with his parents, and apparently, they've always hoped that we'd end up together. Yeah, right. I have five older brothers who are cool with the arrangement, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around it all. Living with Tony's family means I'll have to put up with his annoying antics all the time. But hey, at least I'll have someone to talk to, even if he drives me crazy sometimes."

If ancient gods could be summoned by humans, could humans be summoned by inferior creatures as gods?

Centuries ago, a mysterious energy called "Mana" revolutionized society, but it led humans to face an unprecedented crisis: the "Great Fall". After centuries of intensive use of mana, flora and fauna mutated, becoming more powerful and intelligent. Confronted with this threat, humanity takes refuge in the bastions, the 21 fortresses, to survive. Humans also begin to mutate, developing greater physical and intellectual abilities, as well as special powers called "systems" and "stigmata". However, a scientist warns of an even more devastating imminent threat: insects, organized and cruel, will mutate in turn. To counter this imminent threat, humans begin to study the beasts and learn to cultivate Mana like them. Mana exercises are created to accelerate this process and copy some of the characteristics, but changing exercises is difficult and risky. As the world struggles for survival, Rin, a semi-awakened with the power to perceive everything around him, finds himself at the heart of this turmoil, determined to find his place in a world in chaos and to protect those he loves from the surrounding dangers. ***************************************** Participate in WSA 2024

The vast scale of our universe has lead us to believe that we must be alone. However, this isn't the case. Fane, a member of a highly advanced spacefaring civilization, is suddenly summoned to a medieval world, reminiscent of Old Earth's Dark Ages.

Yet, this world is not the only one drawn into the chaos. Two others have also been pulled into the fray, bringing with them powerful crystalline mages and ancient gods long thought forgotten.

Survival is only the beginning - deciphering the truth could change everything. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hello! Thanks for checking out my work! I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
