In the year 2050, the world changed drastically when mysterious portals began to randomly appear, bringing with them terrifying monsters dubbed Transcendents and unimaginable dangers. Humanity nearly collapsed entirely, and the survivors took refuge in cities and secure areas, protected by individuals with special abilities called Awakened. These Awakened were the only humans capable of entering the portals and exploring the unknown realms on the other side, in search of resources, treasures, glory, or answers. Kaito, on the other hand, was just an unhappy young man who found solace in a classic online game called Mortal Tower, where he created an avatar of a powerful and charismatic villain. While many hoped to become Awakened, Kaito believed that even if he lived a million lives, he would never have the fortune to become one. However, one fateful day, fate played a trick on him. He woke up and naturally looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, but he could hardly believe what he saw. Kaito strangely resembled his Mortal Tower avatar. And to make things even better, Kaito somehow inherited the purchasing system from Mortal Tower, which would allow him to buy all kinds of items, from rare abilities to legendary equipment! Now, Kaito has to deal with his new life in an almost post-apocalyptic world full of opportunities, but also with a new great challenge called Celestial Abode, something even greater than the classic dungeon-crawling portals, something so similar to the early floors of Mortal Tower that it scares him. However, Kaito sets a goal for himself: conquer the top of both worlds, but he doesn't know it will cost him his selflessness. (Obs: No, he's still not a villain at first. There is a development for him to become a villain.) Main Tags: Action, Weaktostrong, Male MC, System and Shopping Schedule: 14 chapters/week.

[Updates Every Sunday] ——————————————————— Title: Online Shopping System in Another World Genre: Comedy, Isekai, Fantasy, Adventure Synopsis: Kazuya Asano is just your average high school senior—until a freak lightning strike hits him, sending him into another world. But instead of being greeted by a traditional fantasy setting, Kazuya awakens with an unusual power: the Online Shopping system. This system allows him to buy anything, from weapons to furniture, as long as he has enough money. With no idea how to make money in this new world, Kazuya embarks on a series of comical adventures, facing challenges, gathering resources, and getting into all sorts of mishaps—mostly because he can’t resist buying the most ridiculous things. But the system has a catch: it has a mind of its own, with emotions and opinions about Kazuya’s spending habits. As the system’s quirky personality grows, it becomes an unlikely but hilariously effective partner in Kazuya’s quest to build a nation and possibly—just possibly—get some ramen. Every purchase, every quest, and every relationship Kazuya builds in this new world is a comedy of errors, all while he tries to figure out how to earn money, deal with his uncooperative system, and create the nation of his dreams. Will he become a hero, or just the guy who bought too much random stuff?

[Mature Content; No rape] "Get away from her, Norwig." His eyes were bloodshot, an icy air swirling around him.  "How dare you touch what's mine. She's my mate and you better don't look at her, unless you want to lose your eyes." Shawn threatened. He could feel Emily's shocked gaze on him, but he could hardly care.  "Mate?" Kilan asked. His eyes glanced from Shawn to Emily who was just staring at the ground. "I didn't know she was yours Anderson. And please stay calm. As you can see, she's safe." Shawn could only scoff.

Do I have to remind you that you're my mate? You're mine Emily. No one— and I mean no one— can touch or kiss your skin." Emily was about to protest this but his lips slammed against hers roughly, cutting off her air supply for a moment. She inhaled sharply, her body immediately turning into jelly at the electrifying lip lock. -----------+ Thousands of years ago, a dreadful war befell the earth. A war between two different sides.
