Global Design Competition Listening

Lan Sol was a beta tester for an open-world survival strategy game called *Global Ice Age Survival*. The game had only released its beta version over the years, with no sign of a public release anytime soon. The premise of the game was simple: Upgrade the campfire—the most crucial source of warmth and the heart of the territory—build various structures, recruit workers, and survive in the frozen world. Sounds boring? Not quite. The game featured monsters, magic, dungeons, and numerous kingdoms scattered across multiple continents. Players could ally with kingdoms, conquer them, or even dominate the entire world. The ultimate goal? Transform a medieval-themed kingdom into a modern, automated one. The game was difficult but oddly satisfying. Lan Sol had finally achieved a 100% completion rate. He eagerly awaited the official release, excited to conquer the game once more. But when he woke up the next day, he found himself in a snowy wasteland. A cold wind howled as the world around him lay blanketed in white. It was so cold that it felt as though the sun no longer existed. It didn’t take long for him to realize he had been transported into the very game he had played for over a year. And he wasn’t alone—every individual on Earth had been transported to this icy world. Waking up next to a campfire, Lan Sol began his journey by upgrading it, knowing it was the first step to survival. Before long, he discovered he had received an exclusive reward: an SSS+ ranked talent.

But death is not the end for him. Minho wakes up seven years in the past, but not as himself. He finds himself in the body of Kang Hyunjae, an unknown amateur actor with a struggling career and nothing to lose. As Minho grapples with his new reality, a mysterious system appears before him. The system offers him one chance: if he can rise to the top of the acting world and become a globally renowned star, he will have the opportunity to reclaim his original life, free from scandal. Determined to rewrite his fate, Minho sets out on a grueling journey filled with cutthroat competition, grueling auditions, and the shadow of his former self. But the acting world isn’t any kinder than the idol industry, and the deeper he goes, the more he uncovers the truth about the people who betrayed him and the price of fame. Will Minho be able to overcome his inner demons, outshine the competition, and reclaim his life? Or will his second chance slip through his fingers as he faces new challenges, betrayal, and heartbreak in the pursuit of his dreams? The stage is set, the spotlight is on, and Minho must decide what truly matters in this dramatic tale of redemption, resilience, and revenge.

But he'll have to combat betrayal, interstellar beings, revenge, and his own lack of knowledge before he gets anywhere close. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for reading!

"Doctor, the game I designed seems to have become reality!" "Isn't that great? People are under such great pressure at work, but you've managed to escape from it all, immersed in the game world, living the life of your dreams."

In the hyper-connected world of 2075, where Artificial General Intelligence hums beneath the surface of society and meta-humans, gifted with extraordinary abilities, walk among us, power is the only currency that truly matters. Ren, a student at Japan's elite meta-human academy, understands this better than most. His ability, Localized Chronokinesis, the subtle manipulation of time in a confined space, is often dismissed as support-class, but beneath the surface lies a mind of cold calculation and ruthless ambition. Unlike the heroes lauded in history books, Ren harbors no grand ideals of justice. He sees the academy's rigorous training, the cutthroat competition of Magi Duels, and the strategic complexities of Cognitive Wargames as mere stepping stones. He is a predator in a world of evolving apex predators, and his unique control over time is a tool to be honed, exploited, and weaponized for his own ascent. His sisters, the powerfully impulsive Akari and the brilliantly analytical Hikari, are not just family; they are assets to be managed in his grand design. The looming shadow of global power blocs, the simmering tensions between nations, and the intricate web of clan politics within Japan are not threats to be overcome, but opportunities to be seized. Ren's path is not that of a savior, but of a manipulator. He will exploit every advantage, forge alliances with calculated precision, and dismantle his rivals with chilling efficiency. He sees the world not as it should be, but as it is – a game of power, and he intends to win, no matter the cost. Witness the rise of a calculating mind in The Intelligence Age, where the quietest power can be the deadliest, and the line between genius and villain is razor thin.

When Samatar stumbles upon a mysterious meeting, he unknowingly steps into the orbit of this dangerous world. As his life intertwines with their plans, he finds himself caught between survival and something far greater. With nothing left to lose, Samatar must decide whether to fight for his freedom or become a pawn in a game far beyond his understanding.
