Harrison was just an ordinary guy, until he wasn’t. Reborn in a world teeming with magic, knights, and ancient rivalries, he wakes up as the illegitimate son of a baron. Here, they call him “Harry,” but he knows he’s still Harrison from another world. And lodged deep within his mind is a strange coin, humming with untapped energy, feeding off every action he takes, every ripple he creates in this foreign realm. This isn’t just any coin. Passed down through his family for generations, the coin had been a mystery, an old relic Harrison’s grandfather picked up during World War II in Germany. He thought it was just a worn piece of metal with some faded Roman numerals, a quirky keepsake with possible historic value. But now, he realizes it’s far more than that. Since his arrival in this new world, the numbers have shifted, and the coin pulses like a heartbeat, brimming with a strange, undeniable power. Harrison names it the 'Simulation Coin.' The Simulation Coin grants him the ability to warp reality itself, to traverse worlds, and even shape them as he sees fit. The more he influences his surroundings, the more power he gathers, feeding the coin and deepening its bond with him. With this newfound ability, Harrison discovers he can do more than survive in this new world, he can rule it.

In a galaxy where absurdity thrives, the misfit crew of The Indifference stumbles through adventures they’re hilariously unqualified for. Zog, a well-meaning but anxiety-ridden humanoid captain, Clorita, a whip-smart and perpetually unimpressed engineer with a fondness for ray guns and pink boots, and Blip, a hyperactive dogganoid with a penchant for chaos, find themselves scraping through one disaster after another. From cube-shaped planets with overly sarcastic AI to meteorite-studded Ibizoid-style party asteroids, the crew’s journey is as unpredictable as the universe itself. Along the way, they pick up Luma, a silent, glowing Felixanoid whose calm yet enigmatic presence somehow manages to outwit the entire crew without uttering a word. Their missions range from solving riddles to escaping romantic flower-aliens turned homicidal demons, all while dodging space bureaucracy, mismanaged finances, and their own bickering. With their perpetually malfunctioning ship, their suspiciously growing bank account on a time-warped planet, and a knack for stumbling into more trouble than they can handle, they’re not exactly galactic heroes. But when the universe throws its weirdest, most dangerous challenges their way, the crew must decide if they’re capable of more than just survival—or if their true calling is simply embracing the chaos and making it out alive.

Synopsis Eighteen-year-old Alaric is well-acquainted with the art of boredom. His life drips with monotony, and fate seems determined to keep it that way. Daily, he stumbles from one small misfortune to another, practically a magnet for the absurdly unlucky. But, on an otherwise ordinary afternoon, he finds himself with his equally eccentric friend, Ragna, pondering life's oddities over cheap coffee and greasy food. Between mouthfuls of fried rice at their favorite street-side warung, the two begin theorizing: “What if magic and mythical creatures once roamed the Earth, back in some mystical age?” Their musings, however, are cut short when their world inexplicably blurs around them. Blinking, they suddenly find themselves somewhere ... utterly bizarre. The air feels primal, the surroundings raw and ancient.

Synopsis: "Echoes of the Dreaming Gods" Overview: "Echoes of the Dreaming Gods" is a surreal, mythological adventure that intertwines the fates of four protagonists Astraea, Ikaros, Selene, and Orion who each struggle with the burdens of their pasts while navigating an ever-shifting world shaped by both ancient myths and fluid dreamscapes. Guided and manipulated by celestial entities known as the Dreaming Gods, the characters embark on a journey that transcends time and space, exploring themes of ambition, power, fate, and self-discovery. Plot: In a world where reality is as unstable as a dream, the ancient Dreaming Gods begin to stir, their influence reaching across time and dimensions. These gods represent primal forces and cosmic archetypes, and they seek to manipulate mortals for their own ends. As the boundaries between the mythic past, the surreal present, and the speculative future begin to blur, four characters are drawn together, their destinies intertwined. Astraea, once a powerful queen lost to time, wanders invisibly through the modern world, forgotten by history but desperate to reclaim her lost kingdom and fading identity. She embarks on a quest to confront the Dreaming Gods and restore her power, all the while battling her growing irrelevance in a world that no longer remembers her. Ikaros, a descendant of the mythical Icarus, is cursed by his family's legacy of doomed ambition. He is a modern-day inventor, obsessed with breaking the cycle of failure by creating a device that can alter time. His journey takes him through parallel dimensions where he must confront the limits of his ambition and the painful memories of his ancestors' downfall. Selene, a silent oracle who can see the future but is cursed never to speak it, is drawn into the ever-shifting city of dreams. She wanders, writing cryptic messages on walls and watching as the calamities she foresees come to pass. Her quest is to find a way to break her curse and finally give voice to the future, knowing that her silence has caused untold suffering. Orion, an eternal rebel cursed by the Dreaming Gods to live through endless cycles of revolution and failure, struggles with his disillusionment. Once a great revolutionary leader, he is now cynical and battle-weary, fighting for causes he no longer believes in. His journey through time is a search for meaning beyond rebellion, as he contemplates abandoning his fight or finding a new purpose. Their individual journeys are set into motion by a celestial event the reawakening of the Dreaming Gods triggered by a mysterious shift in the cosmic order. As time begins to unravel and dreams bleed into reality, each character is thrust into a series of surreal adventures that test their willpower, morality, and sense of identity. The Dreaming Gods are not malevolent, but they are indifferent to the struggles of mortals, using the characters as pawns in their grand game. They manifest in shifting, symbolic forms an ever-moving river, a cloud of stars, or a colossal stone statue and offer each protagonist a chance at redemption, knowledge, or freedom, though the cost is always steep. Act I: The novel opens with each character in their respective worlds. Astraea is searching for a way to restore her lost kingdom, Ikaros is feverishly working on his time-altering invention, Selene is watching prophecies unfold from the shadows, and Orion is caught in the midst of another doomed rebellion.

He received a genetic score of 28... completely disqualifying him from applying to military college! He helped deliver a friend's love letter... and fell into a lake becoming infamous for dying for love! His very first gift... warped him into a brutal training simulation! However he perserved through all these trials! Our Dear Student Wang Zheng has finally started his lucky(?) university life! This is the song of a blood boiling and exciting storm! The most ferocious and heated mecha adventure around is finally here! TL Note: This is a novel about doing the impossible, seeing the invisible. Follow along for a ride across the universe! TL;DR: Not Shakespeare, not complex, but fun and easy to read. Come support! As the translator, I've enjoyed translating this novel and I hope to bring the essence of what the author has tried to portray into the chapters you will read. To sum it up in 3 words: Mechs! Explosions! Science! To be perfectly honest, this novel is about your typically overpowered protagonist who does get looked down from time to time but always overcomes the odds with his own special power. He's abit more mature having grown up on his own and just a littttttttle bit dense. Although it always ends up with him winning, it always happens in an interesting (subjective) and fun way that makes me enjoy reading this. The novel has elements of lighthearted comedy from time to time and I do chuckle at how direct the humor is. It's not as smart as say WMW nor does it weave an intricate story much like Ergen's novels. More importantly, its fun and it doesn't try to hide it.

Alaric Ashford considers himself an author. Relentlessly bullied and tormented throughout his youth by both schoolchildren and his cold, semi-abusive parents, he retreated into a lonely, reclusive existence, his small world shrinking with every year. Once labeled a "gifted kid," Alaric developed a warped sense of self—a mixture of arrogance and deep self-loathing—believing he’s destined for greatness, even as he despises the bleak reality of his life. His parents' deaths were orchestrated by hitmen, hired by a psychopathic bully from his past, someone who took pleasure in toying with him like a predator stalking its prey. After their murder, Alaric dropped out of college and now spends his days shut inside a dim, cluttered apartment. His life is a cycle of inactivity, filled with nothing but endless procrastination and the dwindling cushion of his inheritance. Alaric convinces himself that success will come eventually without effort—after all, hasn't he suffered enough to earn it by now? But when the universe is suddenly integrated into the vast and mysterious multiverse, and an omnipotent system begins to reshape reality itself, Alaric is forced onto a new path. This unprecedented event could push him to finally take action, to break out of his isolation and connect with others. Or, just as likely, his arrogance and disconnection from reality could lead him toward a swift and inevitable ruin. One thing is clear: Alaric will forge his own story, crafting his own myths and legends—no matter the cost in human lives—as he steps into the role of a Sanguine Mythmaker.

...something felt off. Despite the warmth of the celebration and the thoughtfulness of my friends, a strange unease settled over me. The journal in my hands, while beautiful and personal, felt like a key to something deeper. A weighty reminder that even with all the laughter and joy, there were layers beneath my ordinary life that I had yet to uncover. I opened the journal and flipped through the blank pages, wondering what I could possibly fill it with. As I reached the last page, a folded piece of paper slipped out. It was crisp and unfamiliar, not something I would have expected in a brand-new journal. Curiosity piqued, I unfolded it carefully. The note was handwritten in neat, flowing script: _"Your life is about to change. The key is within you, but you must remember who you are first. Happy birthday, Eli. You are more important than you think."_ A chill ran down my spine as I stared at the words. Who could have written this? How did they know I’d get this journal? The sense of unease that had been gnawing at me all day surged forward, wrapping around my chest like a vice. Suddenly, the classroom door creaked open, and I looked up, startled. Standing in the doorway was a figure I didn't recognize—small and frail, with long, dark hair cascading down her back. Her eyes, large and sorrowful, locked onto mine with an intensity that made my breath catch. For a moment, the world seemed to still. The air around me grew heavy, and the soft light filtering through the windows dimmed as though a shadow had fallen over the room. Her presence was haunting, almost otherworldly, as if she didn’t belong here—or maybe, as if she belonged more than anyone else. She took a step forward, her lips parting as if to speak. And when she finally did, her voice was barely more than a whisper, but it echoed in my mind with the force of a revelation: _"I'm sorry."_ With that, the room seemed to warp, reality blurring at the edges. Darkness crept in from the corners of my vision, swallowing the confetti, the balloons, the remnants of the party—until all that was left was the girl, the journal, and the strange, foreboding feeling that my ordinary life was about to be shattered forever. And then, everything went black. --- This is how it began: on what should have been a simple, forgettable birthday, I found myself thrust into a mystery far greater than anything I could have imagined. The note in the journal was just the first clue—a breadcrumb leading me toward something I could never have expected. Whatever this was, whoever this girl was, one thing was certain: my world had shifted, and there was no turning back. I was Eli, and my story was just beginning.
