Buff Nijika

In a world where strength defines destiny, a powerless boy once dreamed of becoming a hero. But dreams don't save you from reality. Bullied, weak, and forgotten, Noah Calden met his end not in an accident — but in betrayal, blood, and silence. Shot by the very authorities he once admired, gunned down while cradling the lifeless body of the girl he couldn’t save… he died a villain in a world that never gave him a chance.Yet instead of death, a golden circle flared beneath him, pulling him into a new world… a realm of magic, heroes, and destiny. In this world, heroes are ranked from the lowly Talkers to the elite Seekers. Talkers are support roles—meant to boost morale, cast minor buffs, and cheer from the sidelines. Mocked. Stigmatized. Powerless. Noah was branded a Talker. A joke. Trash. But what no one knew… was that he alone possessed a forbidden gift. He awakens a Lexomancer system and he's now called a Lexomancer. A power that should not belong to a Talker. A power that should not exist. A magic so absolute, his words shape reality itself. Say burn—and you ignite. Say vanish—and you’re gone. His voice isn’t support. It’s a command. Now reborn as Velian Vox, the last Talker and the bearer of this lost magic, he must navigate a world that fears what it does not understand. With whispers of ancient wars, sealed truths, and gods who once spoke the world into being, Velian’s power may hold the key to balance… or ruin. But as mysteries unfold and enemies close in, one truth becomes clear: With great power comes great consequence. And when the world listens to your every word… you must choose each one carefully. Let the world hear his voice. Even if it trembles when it does.

She just wanted to cook. Now she’s feeding the apocalypse. Marron Louvel was supposed to win Earth’s biggest cooking competition… but she died before the judges could take a bite. Now she’s stuck in a fantasy world with a rundown food stall, a grumpy talking bear, and a System that insists she’s an SSS-Grade Chef. Her first customer? A half-dead adventurer who cries after one bite of her duck fat fries. Her recipes from Earth don’t just taste good—they heal, buff, and change fates. She’s not interested in romance. But that hasn’t stopped knights, beastfolk, or demon lords from lining up for more than just seconds. To survive in a world ruled by cooking power, Marron must upgrade her stall, unlock legendary ingredients, and serve dishes so good they shake the heavens. Because in the world of Savoria, flavor is power—and one perfect bite can save a life.

Severin Reignhart was just an ordinary reader and gamer—until a truck accident sent him into the world of Legacy of Heroes, a novel he had once read. But instead of becoming the protagonist or even a powerful villain, he finds himself reborn as a complete nobody. An extra with no screen time, no future, and worst of all… no real strength. His so-called Talent Ability—Command—doesn’t make him stronger. Instead, it grants a 300% boost to the abilities of those who are bound to him and follow his orders. A powerful buff, but utterly useless when he is weaker than even the lowest-ranked students at Zenith Hero Academy. Thrown into a world where strength is the only law, Severin quickly learns that if he can’t fight, he’ll be crushed. Refusing to accept the fate of an extra, he turns to manipulation, deception, and blackmail, using his intelligence to twist the battlefield in his favor. If he can’t be the strongest, he’ll control the strongest. With the looming threat of world-ending catastrophes and prodigious heroes destined to take center stage, Severin must navigate the deadly hierarchy of the academy. He will recruit, betray, and outwit both heroes and villains—because in a world where power is everything, strategy is his only weapon. And one thing is certain: he refuses to die a nameless extra.

The merciless celestial Tower of Babel stands divided into seven incomprehensible blocks, each one a realm of its own. An unknown player is trapped in Exit Life, a brutal single-player "Alternative Reality" where death resets the cycle—but never erases the suffering of facing unforgiving boss mechanics. He reincarnates in the body of a ghost—now trapped in a precarious world of buffs, debuffs, blasphemy crests, undead, system angels, phobias, and corrupted code, where a single mistake can plunge his Sanity stat into irreversible collapse. He must climb the Tower of Babel—seven realms of torment—to reach The Terminal, his only hope of logging out… after an eternity in limbo. Title Clarity: Log out of Life. The impossible desire to “log out” of pain, memory, and responsibility.

[(MUST READ)] Guide to the World of Signo Welcome to Signo, a world powered by its mystical core—the very heart that fuels all life, magic, resources, and invention. The closer one’s essence is to Signo’s Core, the greater their strength and abilities become. The Seven Continents & Their Graces Each continent is overseen by one of the Seven Graces, divine-like beings who govern different aspects of power and existence: Evascera – Domain of the Grace of Life Neuraleth – Domain of the Grace of Senses Elarith – Domain of the Grace of Space Yhrakka – Domain of the Grace of Beasts Ceravayn – Domain of the Grace of Mind Thorneal – Domain of the Grace of Death Chronisca – Domain of the Grace of Time Geography & Culture There are no countries in Signo. The Seven Graces rule all, and instead of nations, the world is divided into cities—each with its own unique culture and societal structure. The Vanderes – The True Threat The Vanderes are otherworldly invaders, often just as strong—if not stronger—than the Graces themselves. They are feared as the natural predators of the Graces, and their presence threatens the balance of the world. Power System: Magic, Warriors, and Craftsmen All power in Signo flows through a concept called Connection—the bond between one's spirit and Signo itself. Mages: Use magic through their Connection to Signo Fuel magic with mental strength (willpower > stamina) Can cast, summon, buff, and reshape elements according to will Stronger mages have unwavering mental discipline Most use magical weapons or mediums forged from resources near Signo's core Warriors: Cannot use magic, but have bodies directly connected to Signo Possess superhuman physical strength and endurance Born with combat-optimized traits that limit magic use Craftsmen: Experts in smithing, engineering, and invention Can detect and utilize rare resources with ease Can use magic, but only to fuse with creations or tools Their Connection aligns with utility, not offense Anomalies: Rare individuals are born with both mage and warrior traits—they are mysterious, powerful anomalies, and their nature is still not fully understood, and some anomalies have abilities that are completely astray from basic principles. Elements & Alignment Magic is categorized by elemental attributes. A mage’s Connection can determine their affinity: A tornado-shaped connection = Wind alignment A glowing molten core = Fire Crystalline aura = Ice or Earth And so on… Some individuals are capable of wielding multiple elements. Warriors manifest elements through their combat style and personality Artificers reflect elements in the materials they use and the devices they create The 10 Taboo Beasts There exist ten legendary beasts—creatures so powerful they rival even the Graces. They are rarely seen, nearly impossible to track, and their existence is whispered in fear. Status: UNKNOWN

One day, the entire Earth is plunged into an endless ice apocalypse. All humans awaken in a desolate frozen wasteland with only a single flickering campfire to keep them alive. Here, the rules of reality have changed — everyone must gather resources, craft tools, and build from fragile wooden huts to sturdy stone fortresses just to survive the deadly cold. Monstrous frost beasts roam the white abyss. Hunger and cold gnaw at the mind. In this hopeless situation, humanity struggles, and countless people die every day. However, Ye Tian, an ordinary office worker, suddenly awakens a hidden SSS-rank class: ChatBot User! With it, he can access an exclusive "Command Console" akin to a cheat mode in a sandbox survival game: > /give longsword x1 /enchant longsword.sharpness5 /spawn survival_kit x1 But nothing is free. Every command costs Command Points (CP)—which can only be earned by overcoming brutal challenges, defeating frost beasts, or completing hidden missions. As the world falls into despair and the strong prey on the weak, Ye Tian forges legendary weapons, constructs indestructible fortresses, and commands an army of summoned beasts to dominate the frozen lands. When others shiver in broken wooden shacks, he lounges inside a grand heated palace. When others scavenge for scraps, he dines on gourmet feasts. "You want to challenge me? Sorry, I just gave myself a +1000 Strength buff." In this game of life and death, only he can write his own commands and decide his fate. --- Tags: Game Elements, Survival, System, Isekai, Overpowered Protagonist, Base Building, Resource Management, Face Slapping, Strongest Alone, Cold Apocalypse.

Summoned to another world with the unique skill [Gacha Draw], Takuya Minami thought he would become the main star. But in reality… he kept pulling useless items— – An apple. – Smelly socks. – A leaky bucket. Labeled as the weakest hero in history, he was kicked out by the king and laughed at by the entire kingdom. But one day, while nearly starving to death in the forest... SSR Acquired — "Seven Legendary Maidens of Calamity" With a world-destroying summon, hidden buffs, and insane luck, Lio rises again. And this time, he will become the strongest. "I'm not the Trash Hero anymore."

A 4000-Year-Old Madman vs. The Entire Greek Pantheon In 4327 BC, Prometheus was like, "Hey, what if I made some humans, but, like, super humans?" So he whipped up 100 immortals out of divine clay, god tears, and a stolen spark of fire. Among them? Ylem, the angriest, hottest (literally), and most stubborn of them all. Then Zeus showed up, threw a tantrum, and unleashed the Pandoras Curse—basically divine food poisoning—on them. 99 of Ylem’s siblings bit the dust, but not him. Oh no. He just got more buff, more petty, and way too good at swords.

Fuyuki Hayakaze was a seventeen-year-old high schooler with one claim to fame: he was a world-record-holding speedrunner with a knack for breaking games in ways their developers never intended. His motto? "If it wasn’t patched, it’s fair game." That is, until he heroically dives into traffic to save a child from the cruel, uncaring wheels of fate—otherwise known as Torakku-kun. Now reincarnated in a fantasy world governed by a game-like System, Fuyuki finds himself alive, confused, and... bug-eyed. Not only can he see the hidden mechanics behind every attack, spell, and status effect—he can also view the complete stat blocks of anyone he meets. HP, MP, buffs, debuffs, passive traits, hidden titles—he sees it all. Most would call this a cheat skill. Fuyuki calls it a debug menu. Armed with his gamer instincts, a total disregard for narrative integrity, and a deep-seated hatred of tutorials, Fuyuki sets out to sequence-break his way through a world that clearly wasn’t balanced for someone like him. But as Fuyuki digs deeper, he begins to realize that the system isn't just a mechanic—it's watching him. Logging him. And maybe... learning. This is the tale of a boy who treats life like a game—and a system that was never meant to be played.

When I died, I expected hell, heaven, or maybe reincarnation as a bug. I didn’t expect a post-apocalyptic game world overrun with zombies, dungeons, mutated beasts, and people who awaken class cards like they’re gacha summons. Worse? I woke up naked in a crater… with a glowing screen in my face. [X-Rank Class Acquired: Harem Master] Choose 5 Starting Erotic Skills. Warning: You are now officially overpowered and probably horny. Yeah. Not kidding. Now, I level up by fighting monsters, exploring dangerous dungeons, and—uh—getting intimate with gorgeous, badass women who want to kill me, love me, or both. Turns out? My skills let me grow stronger by bonding. Emotionally, physically... you get the idea. And the deeper the bond, the more broken the buffs. I’m not some noble hero or stoic warrior. I’m just a regular dude trying to figure things out—with a dirty mind, a dirty mouth, and a dangerously sexy skillset. So yeah, welcome to my world: where leveling up means fighting with my fists, my wit, and sometimes, my d*ck. Let’s see how far I can go before the world burns... or my harem blows up in my face. Literally.

[Warning: Mature Content, R18+] Born with a mark that was never intended… Gifted with intelligence and skills far more advanced than her peers. Elsa Morgan didn’t experience the normal childhood that everyone had. Always been haunted by her nightmares and by unexplainable events since she was young. Elsa became a doctor to find answers. Destined to bear sufferings and do what is right for his people… Chris Jorgensen was bound to the woman he had not met yet and marked without knowing what he had done. In order to lead his kingdom to glory and victory, he must find her first no matter what it takes, even if it means crossing the other world. Two worlds apart that defy what is the norm in their worlds. Brought together by the invisible tie that binds them together. Or is it true love that defies all reasons? When accidents turn out to be fate in disguise, will they be able to reject the strong pull towards the person who turned their whole world and everything they worked hard for upside down? ******** “What the hell! I told you not to move!” Elsa shouted while running back to the man, who lifted his head and smirked at her. Elsa screamed when the naked man abruptly pulled her onto his lap and started sniffing her all over her body, especially on her chest, hair, and neck. She heard her dogs growl and come closer to the man but quickly calmed down when he gave them a quick glance, and it absolutely surprised her. “What are you doing!” Elsa pushed the naked man on the chest for she could feel him hard down there and it was making her really uncomfortable. “Your smell… Mmm… Lavender and blueberry… God, you smell divine…” The man casually said before burying his face in her neck and sniffing her hard. “You pervert!” With all her strength, Elsa pushed him once again and slapped him so hard that she also hurt her palm, making his head turn to the side on impact. She briskly stood up and shouted, “Nile, tackle! Girls guard!” In a swift move, Nile jumped to the naked man tackling and pushing him to the ground while Ciel, Gaia, and Nuri surrounded him, not removing their gaze from him while growling and showing their sharp teeth and fangs. But then a more powerful force is pulling her eyes beyond the man’s buff chest and deep in her mind she convinced herself that she would do this because she is a doctor and he is her patient– an injured patient, she reminded herself. She would look at him only to see the extent of his injuries and nothing more. She is a doctor… A licensed professional for God’s sake! ‘How can I buckle him up if it’s on the way of the strap? Should I move it to the side?’ Elsa was having a battle in her head ultimately muddled about whether she would touch it or not. From the way he looks, she is sure that he is heavy and she must use the straps properly to be able to securely drag him to her car for both their safety. ******** Chris pretended to be sleeping while he let himself heal, or so he thought. The sedative took a while to have an effect on him. But eventually, he dozed off and was unconscious for real this time. He opened his eyes and saw white walls and someone was holding his right hand. He sat up and saw the red-haired woman’s hand on top of his while her wrist was glowing. Chris’ eyes widened, he held his shoulder and shook her up, “Wake up! There’s a glowing mark on your wrist!” But no matter how hard he wakes her up, she’s not opening her eyes. “You are mine, Elsa. And I am yours.” Chris moved his face closer to hers and planted a soft gentle kiss on her lips. “Whoever you are, Elsa, I will protect you. Even if it’s from the man that you call Dad.” Chris whispered as if someone would hear him. Completed Book: CEO's Contract Obsession ********

For seventeen years, Samantha Kisaragi wished for only one thing: a normal life, free from the chronic illness that made her a fragile glass doll in her family’s eyes. One morning, her wish is granted by... a tiny, floating mochi with a god complex? This smug spectral "System" offers her a miraculous, perfectly healthy body. The price? She must now complete a series of insane missions, from the mortifying to the life-threatening. The rules are simple: succeed and level up. Get stronger, faster, and maybe even a little more charming.

With only a cheeky floating dessert for a guide, a terrifyingly competent senior known as the 'Ice Queen' as an unlikely ally, and a clock ticking on both her brother's life and her own romantic prospects, Samantha must learn to be a weapon. She was a girl who just wanted to be normal. Now, she has to become a monster to protect everything she loves.

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.

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.

I wasn’t born with a Spirit Root. I was born with a shovel. They called me trash. A pit slave. The one who buried the dead for the sect that killed my mother. Then the corpse of a fallen cultivator whispered back. [System Activation Detected.] But this wasn’t some leveling aid or beginner buff. This System didn’t offer guidance. It offered blood. Techniques. Power. At the cost of my soul. For every corpse I devour, I gain their skills, their memories, their essence. Each time, I lose more of my humanity. Good. I don’t need to be human.

It’s the era of Transmigration. I wanted to possess a body of a rich young lady in a Rofan childcare novel, and live while receiving lots of love. No. 1 to be avoided! No. 1 in frustrating the reader! I possessed someone inside an infinite return novel called: Return Until the World is Saved. Forget being a young lady from a prominent family, I will soon be ruined because the survival difficulty of the original work is S-Class. I became an extra. Ailette, the young daughter of a servant in the Count’s manor. We are poor, but it’s a happy life between a kind brother and a good father. I’ve got a best friend I’ve never made before because I was always busy. Even the gods of the Transmigration Management Bureau are openly fond of me. I’m living a life full of confidence. On top of that, I accidentally bought the ‘After-Life Insurance’ full package just before my death. I leveled up with the high-speed growth buff, and diligently destroyed the original plot. Thanks to plenty of special privileges, I came to give satisfaction for all the frustrated readers of the original work. “You wiped your face with your dirty hands.” “…….” “Don’t be surprised. It’s because I have an obligation to be kind.” And then, there’s the protagonist who is still nothing more than a handsome push over, Thesilid. ‘Why is he being this crafty with me?’ (I'm just translating this, this novel and all its rights belongs to : Irinbi 이린비)

[Fast-Paced Cultivation + Turning Side Effects into Buffs + Scheming Trickster + Cautious and Calculating Style] Ye Bufan transmigrates into a cultivation world, becoming a humble rogue cultivator in the Zhao Kingdom. Born with a low-grade Yang spiritual root, he once dreamed of pursuing the immortal path. However, after diligently cultivating for a hundred years, he still failed to reach the Foundation Establishment stage—even as an old man nearing the end of his lifespan. Seeing no hope in cultivation, he decides to marry and enjoy a peaceful final chapter of life. Unexpectedly, he's captured by a stunning demoness from the Demonic Sect and is forced to become a cauldron (furnace for dual cultivation), practicing a life-draining demonic technique. Ye Bufan is devastated—until he awakens the Negative Reversal System.

I’ve always tried to see the good in everything. Sure, I was born with a frail body that only grew weaker over time, but at least I had loving parents who cared for me—even though I’ve been a burden to them for the past 15 years. Yes, I lived in constant pain, trapped indoors. But at least I had the internet, television, and books—I could explore the world without ever leaving my room. Imagine having my condition in a time before technology. A life spent staring at nothing would have been unbearable. Yes, I struggled to breathe. My body was numb, my vision fading. My parents sat beside me, their tears falling as they held my fragile hand. But at least they would finally be free. They had a new baby—three of them, a happy little family that wouldn’t be weighed down by me. That was wonderful. They could live without worry. Sure, death was terrifying. But no one knows what comes after. At least now, I would finally have my answer. "Goodbye, Mom. Goodbye, Dad. Thank you for being the best parents. I’m sorry I couldn’t be the child you deserved. Please… be happy." . . . Wait. Does death mean I’ve been reborn in another world? What is this place? Is that… a moving mountain?! I should run. My name is Yaw-Yan. Want to know how I built my floating kingdom with just a stick?
