X Men Anniversary Issue

In this world, the real friends of a man are the monsters in his mind. But when you listen to these monsters, you are going to become a monster yourself. Is there any harm in becoming a monster? All men are monsters, or so believed an ancient vengeful spirit. Based on her past experience, all men were impure - impurities desperately hindering fertility - and that all women deserve to be in nowhere other than in her promising sanctuary. All women in the world deserved an eternal peace, who can deny that fact? The vengeful spirit found a solution of reproduction without the need of men, and so, there was no defying reason for the monsters to remain in the grand picture. Why not kill all the men in the world, straight to extinction? Why not clean up the impurities that no veil of justice could hide under the sense of defence? The world was meant to thrive under the sacred care of humanity, not to collapse under the careless cruelty of monsters that were destroying it in the name of leadership or power. In this world, it was not humanity that was at the brink of extinction. But only men were the ones at the brink of extinction, of all possibilities, in the hands of women. Was it morally wrong for Kord and his fellow so-called monsters to fight back?

Growth of civilization has been augmented continuously by the colossal presence of technology. A hundred years ago, earth suffered devastating calamities and humans weren’t able to survive in it anymore. Humanity almost perished but a few skilled technologists came together to weave seven space stations that were capable of housing thousands, albeit a few. The space stations banded together to form a single massive station named “The Sanctuary”, where about 7,000 people lived. Resources were scarce and all crimes no matter their severity were punishable by death, unless the transgressor was under 18 years of age. After the Sanctuary’s life support systems were found to be deteriorating, 202 skilled military personnel were dispatched to one of the the nearest planets, a promising candidate for supporting life. The main mission of the military personnel was to scout a planet for a few strange creatures that were capable of resisting radiation and thriving in unfavorable conditions. Humanity had never forgotten to reclaim its lost home, hence various projects were launched yearly with the sole aim of finding a solution to earth’s biggest problem— extremely high level radiation. Project Helix was finally supported by the Assembly although it raised ethical concerns. The project focused on introducing animal genes into humans, with the belief that humans would be able to survive the harsh conditions of earth. Many problems were considered before the Assembly finally gave their support. Would the genes from these animals be compatible with the human genome? Would they be able to integrate into human cells and function as intended? How would the genes be edited and regulated to ensure they don’t disrupt other essential human genes or processes? Could introducing these genes have unintended consequences, such as altering human physiology, behavior, or cognitive abilities? Would the introduction of animal genes into humans raise ethical concerns, such as the potential for unforeseen side effects or the blurring of lines between species? Each one of these problems was enough to dissuade the upper echelons of the Assembly but the deteriorating life support systems was a major concern hence humanity decided to take a big risk, or perhaps a leap of faith. Let’s delve deep into this story so as to enjoy the alluring taste it has to offer, as Miguel Morien creates a new path for humanity, a path along which humans are able to fuse with the genes of beasts, thereby bringing out their lethality and battle prowess, further dazzling the entirety of the world with it.

Transmigrating into the body of the infamous Demon King, Adira expected a life of power, domination, and ease. Instead, she’s greeted by chaos—a crumbling kingdom, a mountain of unfinished business, and enemies lurking in every shadow. Worse yet, she’s surrounded by a group of dangerously obsessive men who’ve decided she’s their everything. Each man is tied to the chaos of her past actions, but all of them have directed their overwhelming passions toward her.

The Silent White Snake: A silent, watchful guardian with icy eyes that follow her every move. He rarely speaks, but his obsessive actions ensure no one dares get close to his “treasure.” The Sword Demon: “You can’t leave me. You’ve shown me strength and taught me what no one else ever could. I’ll follow you to the ends of the world.” Once a starving boy she trained on a whim, he grew into the fearsome Sword Demon, vowing eternal loyalty and love. The Assassin Leader: “You saved me from those chains, and now I belong to you. Always.” Freed during a slave auction she accidentally obliterated, he’s risen to lead the strongest assassin guild in the land. His devotion is as terrifying as his skills. And that’s not all. More obsessive admirers appear, each more intense than the last. From navigating demon politic stuff to dealing with her dangerously obsessed admirers, Adira must balance power, survival, and her own sanity while wondering: Why the hell am I surrounded by these crazy men?!

The beautiful boy, "Aoi Souma," who had been voraciously collecting knowledge, regained the memories of his previous life. It was a near future, but without a doubt, it was still Japan. However, no matter how you looked at it, this world was not a continuation of his past life. The world was heavily skewed towards women in the gender ratio, humanity had awakened to superpowers, and was being threatened by invaders known as "Crangy." For the prosperity of mankind, the societal structure was one where men were controlled by the state, and the norms were drastically different. Women yearned for contact with men, while men engaged in sexual activities out of a sense of duty. In such a society, Aoi Souma, who retained the same sexual desires and sensibilities as in his previous life, was an unusual existence. This is the story of a boy trying to safely and surely establish an ideal harem life within a dystopian society, one that could certainly be called a managed society. ------------ *Note* This is not my novel, I am simply translating it.
