Ezra Vael, once known as the Assassin King, ruled the underworld with precision and deadly skill. His targets? High-profile figures who never saw him coming. But after one fateful mission, tragedy struck—and he died. Or so he thought. Instead of vanishing into the abyss, Ezra wakes up in a new world as Kaito Ryoma, the youngest son of a noble samurai family. Unlike his old world of mana and shadows, this world thrives on Ki, where warriors live by honor and the sword. But his rebirth comes with more than just a second chance. He awakens an ancient artifact—The Sage, an enigmatic entity with knowledge that could change his fate.

But beneath the surface of peace and prosperity, a hidden threat looms, waiting to consume everything. Armed with his past-life skills, a new power, and a guiding force, Kaito must carve his own path—not as an assassin in the shadows, but as a warrior destined for greatness.

I woke up in a world that shouldn’t exist. And in a body that isn’t mine. The city around me is in ruins—silent streets, broken buildings, a sky that no longer remembers the sun. I don’t know how I got here. I don’t know who I am. My memories slip through my fingers like sand, leaving behind only fragments—whispers of a promise I can’t remember making. But something is wrong. The world feels… stuck, repeating itself like a broken record. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Time bends in ways I can’t explain. And the deeper I search for answers, the clearer it becomes—this isn’t just about me. There’s something out there, buried in the loops of time. Watching. Waiting. If I break free, will I find the truth? Or will I disappear like everything else? When the stars grant a wish, what do they take in return?

He chuckled. “What’s with the face?” I blinked. “What?” “You’re blushing.” His voice held a teasing lit, and I could practically hear the smirk behind it. “Oh.” I raised a hand to my cheek, rubbing absently, only to feel the warmth spreading across my skin. My lips twisted into a small, guilty smile. Leo’s eyes gleamed with amusement. There was something about the way he looked at me—steady, knowing—that made me uneasy. Not because I felt uncomfortable, but because I had spent so long misunderstanding him. Why hadn’t I seen his loyalty from the start? Why had I assumed he wanted me for business, for something transactional? A pang of guilt settled in my chest. “This place is…” I started, glancing around, searching for words. He leaned back slightly, one arm draped over the chair. “Deserving of a heiress,” he finished smoothly. “I had a work break.” A warm rush of gratitude filled me, but it was quickly dampened by a lingering thought. Cassie had mentioned something earlier—something about Ophelia storming into Leo’s office. My fingers curled slightly against the tablecloth.

In his past life, Dr. Kaito Arata was a dedicated doctor who spent his entire life saving others while neglecting himself. Exhausted from endless shifts and a broken healthcare system, he collapsed in the hospital and died—only to awaken in another world. Reincarnated as Lucian Vale, he is blessed with the Legendary Healer’s Crest, an ability that grants him unlimited healing, regeneration, and even the power to cure incurable diseases. However, in this world, healers are considered weak, treated as mere support for warriors and mages. Determined to change that perception, Lucian sets out on a journey across kingdoms, villages, and war-torn lands, using his skills to heal the sick, aid the injured, and defy death itself. Along the way, he befriends adventurers, royalty, and even former enemies, proving that a healer can be the strongest force in the world. But as he cures plagues, revives fallen warriors, and reshapes the balance of power, nobles, kings, and even gods take notice—some wanting to worship him, others wanting to control him. With his knowledge of modern medicine and divine healing, Lucian walks his own path—not as a hero, not as a king, but as a traveler who simply wants to help. However, even the strongest healer cannot save everyone… or can he?

"I Want to Play a Game" blends elements such as time loops, infinite streams, rule-based games, and post-apocalyptic survival, all set against a unique Chinese aesthetic with mind-bending plot twists. The story unfolds in an alternate realm known as "The Land of Endings," where all participants are "the Guilty"—people burdened with sins in the real world—who are forcibly drawn into a death game controlled by the Twelve Zodiac. The game is divided into three levels: "Heaven," "Earth," and "Human." Within ten days, participants must win "the Dao" through strategic play, deduction, or cooperation; once they accumulate enough, they can escape. Those who fail will lose their memory and be resurrected on the eleventh day, while only those who awaken the "Echo" ability can retain their memories and move on to the next cycle of reincarnation. Originally a "place for divine creation," The Land of Endings has become a brutal battleground for survival following the betrayal of the Zodiac leader, "Tianlong" (Heavenly Dragon).

Torn from immortality and cast into a fragile mortal shell, a once-feared warlord awakens in a decaying city ruled by crime syndicates and zealots. Though weak, he is not powerless—for he remembers the arcane Paths of Inscription and the art of Engraving refinement. A mysterious whisper calls to him, tempting him with the promise of restoration. But this time, he will not merely reclaim his former might—he will transcend it. From the shadows, through blood and schemes, he will carve his name into the very fabric of reality. ‎ ‎The cycle turns once more. The tyrant shall rise again.

The jeers followed her like a persistent shadow. "Murderer!" the crowd screamed, their faces contorted in a grotesque parody of the adoration she once commanded. Just months ago, they had screamed her name, their voices a deafening roar as she shimmied across the stage, a beacon of light and pop perfection. Now, their cheers had morphed into venomous hisses, their eyes burning with a hatred that chilled her to the bone. Noelle clutched her lawyer's arm, his face a mask of grim determination. The cameras flashed, capturing her every move, every tremor of fear. The headlines screamed: "Pop Princess Plummets: Noelle Accused of Murder." The irony wasn't lost on her. Her life, once a carefully constructed fairytale of fame and fortune, had become a grotesque tragedy. The trial was a circus. The whispers, the sneers, the relentless scrutiny – it was a constant assault on her senses. Her once loyal fans, the ones who'd plastered her face on their bedroom walls, now reveled in her downfall. They devoured every salacious detail, every whispered accusation, every tear she dared to shed. The verdict was a foregone conclusion. Guilty. Noelle watched the judge pronounce the sentence, her mind a whirlwind of disbelief and despair. Death by lethal injection. ‘At least they did not give me the electric chair’ she thought to herself in a poor attempt at humor. * Months later, a solitary figure knelt at her grave, the wind whipping at his hair. Rain lashed down, mirroring the tears that streamed down his face. "I'm sorry, Areum," he sobbed, his voice hoarse with grief. "I'm so sorry I was too late." He clutched a single, wilted rose, its petals stained crimson, a poignant reminder of the life that had been brutally extinguished. * Noelle is a bright star who has the world at her feet, she feels no guilt about being the other woman coming between a husband and his wife. After all, Evan had been in love with her since they were teenagers. The only reason he married Ma-Ri was because his family demanded it, if he had a choice he would surely have picked her… When she gets wrongfully accused of murdering Ma-Ri, she loses everything and is sentenced to death, everyone including Evan turn against her and she is left to die a miserable death. She is reborn and this time she faces the humiliation of being the woman who is being cheated on. She is determined to end the cycle and not let the future she had seen come to pass, she decides to step out of the picture and focus on her career. In doing so, everything changes, Evan clings to her and refuses to let her go, a mysterious stranger who has been studying her also steps in and decides to fight for a chance to be with her.

時間自体が分断されたように見える世界で、孤独な放浪者が荒涼とした風景の中で目を覚ますと、自分が誰であるか、何を失ったのかという記憶がありません。忘れられた過去の断片と神秘的な約束に悩まされ、彼は人類滅亡の背後にある真実と自分自身の存在に埋もれた秘密を明らかにする旅に乗り出します。 答えへの切望を共有する仲間も加わって、彼らの探索は、粉々になった都市、放棄された世界、高度な文明の残骸を通り抜けます。世界崩壊の謎を解明しながら、彼らは影の存在、失われたテクノロジー、想像をはるかに超える紛争の残響に直面します。 生存と自己発見の試練のさなか、彼らの旅は立ち直り、犠牲、そして人類の光が再び燃え上がるという揺るぎない希望を伴うものとなる。 彼らは探している答えを見つけることができるのでしょうか、それとも過去の残響が彼らを忘却の淵にある世界に永遠に縛り付けるのでしょうか？ In a world where time itself seems fractured, a lone wanderer awakens in a desolate landscape with no memory of who he is or what he’s lost. Haunted by fragments of a forgotten past and a mysterious promise, he embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the vanishing of humanity and the secrets buried within his own existence. Joined by a companion who shares his yearning for answers, their search takes them through shattered cities, abandoned worlds, and remnants of advanced civilizations.

Will they find the answers they seek, or will the echoes of the past forever bind them to a world on the brink of oblivion?

The moon changed colours, and it wasn't even the red moon or blue moon. Instead it became two colours, black and white. And along with it, the behavior of people changed. “I'm the hero who will put an end to all this madness!” “I'm the villain who will kill all the heroes!” This became the character trait of people. The good people and the bad people, the righteous and the unrighteous, the guilty and innocent. The moon ushered in a new era but it wasn't one of technological advancement or a sudden discovery of magic and supernatural powers but instead it was one of crime. And amidst all this, he receives a system. *** “Are you a demon?” “Don't compare me to those puny things. I'm way above them in the food chain.” “Then what will I be hosting?” “My will..” “Your will?” “Are you ready to become strong and change your fate?” “Yes.” “I, Avamos, pass my will on to you, human Alfred savage.!” “You have received the will of a god. The gangster system.”

“Being a god sounds cool… until you realize your job is to not kill the heroes you’re sending to save the world.” Kaito thought his life was over when he died in the most embarrassing way possible (don’t ask—it involved a vending machine). But instead of eternal rest, he wakes up as a freshly minted Reincarnation God, responsible for sending heroes into fantasy worlds to defeat demon lords and save kingdoms. Simple, right? Wrong. With a glitchy divine system, a countdown timer, and zero experience, Kaito accidentally overpowers, underpowers, or straight-up breaks the three heroines he's supposed to reincarnate: Alicia, the Sword Heroine, now strong enough to split mountains… but can’t run faster than a turtle. Mira, the Mage Heroine, wields unlimited magic but risks nuking entire continents with a sneeze. Luna, the Healer Heroine, whose healing spells now harm instead of heal. Now, Kaito must guide these broken heroines from the divine realm, keeping them alive (and away from his divine wrath) while navigating hilarious ecchi mishaps, chaotic magic explosions, and accidental harem-building along the way. Can Kaito fix his mistakes before the heroines die—or worse, before he gets demoted to Toilet Cleaning God? Ecchi, comedy, isekai, and harem collide in this wild fantasy adventure!

When Kaito and his two best friends board a midnight train to Tokyo, they expect an ordinary journey. But as thick fog engulfs the train, the passengers fall unconscious—only to wake up on a mysterious island with no memory of how they got there. The train is gone. The station is abandoned. And the world seems to have forgotten they ever existed. As Kaito and his friends search for answers, eerie whispers echo through the night, shadowy figures lurk in the mist, and a strange key in Kaito’s pocket glows with an unknown power. Each step they take unravels a terrifying secret: this island is a trap, and they are not the first ones to be caught in its grasp. Can they escape before the island consumes them? Or will they become just another story lost to time—forgotten, like the train that never arrived?

Ninjas Prologue: The Phantom’s Return The moon was a sliver in the sky, casting a ghostly light over the village. The wind carried the faintest trace of a whisper—an omen that the village’s peace was about to be shattered. Kaito, known as the Shuriken Shadow, had long been a legend—a myth. Yet tonight, he returned. No longer the idealistic student of the Shuriken Shadow Clan, he had become an instrument of vengeance. His mission was simple, yet infinitely complicated: to find and eliminate Ryuu, his former comrade, now a traitor to the clan. The winds stirred as Kaito dropped from the shadows, vanishing into the darkness.

Kaito Raizen was just an ordinary high school boy who dreamed of being the mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes. Ever since childhood, he admired both heroes and villains, but he never wanted to be either. Instead, he envisioned himself as the unseen hand that pushes both sides to their limits, making their struggles more entertaining for him. In the world he lives in, however, that dream seems impossible. Despite years of hard training and studying, Kaito has only managed to become average, able to score decently on his tests and beat up a mafia boss on his own. But controlling the world? He hasn’t even come close. What if an entire battalion shows up? He’d be dead in seconds. But just as it seemed like his ambitions would never be realized, fate—or rather, the heavens—answered his prayers. Kaito is reincarnated into a new world, with all his memories intact. Now, armed with a new chance and magic, he’ll bend this world to his will.

The son of a world-famous tycoon in Imperial City, Olsen Richard entered into a contractual marriage with Tania Woods to shield himself from the relentless scrutiny of the world after suffering a devastating heartbreak from his ex-lover. For Tania, this arrangement was an escape—she could barely endure her self-absorbed family, who saw her as nothing more than a bargaining chip to free themselves from the crippling debt they owed the Richards. Aware that marriage was no bed of roses, Tania, once fragile and uncertain, embarked on a journey that would forever transform her.

Daiki Akezawa is a gloomy, introverted, and unapproachable student at **** High School. But what his classmates don’t know is that he’s living a double life—as the world-famous streamer KZ. Determined to keep his anonymity intact, Kaito avoids forming connections, pushing others away without a second thought. Yet, despite his best efforts, he can’t ignore the way his classmates laugh, talk, and enjoy life so effortlessly, so much so he feels a slight hint of pity--directed at himself. Something deep inside him stirs—something he’s tried to bury. As the past he refuses to confront lingers in the shadows, and as unexpected friendships start slipping through the cracks of his walls, Daiki is forced to ask himself: Will he keep running, or will he finally let someone in?

In a remote mountain village, far from battlefields and castles, young Kaito lives a life of dusty routine: Each day, he hammers nails, plows, and axes for farmers in his father’s forge. Samurai? To him, they’re just ghostly tales spun by traveling merchants – until a stranger in torn silks arrives, wielding a blade of gleaming steel. Mesmerized by the warrior’s alien grace, Kaito watches him fight with a precision unlike the brawls of village life. But when the stranger vanishes under mysterious circumstances, he leaves behind only a ceremonial tanto (dagger) and a question that haunts Kaito: What lies beyond the mountains? Driven by curiosity, Kaito ventures beyond his valley for the first time – and stumbles into a world where swords are not just tools, but language. Yet the deeper he delves into the warrior’s art, the more perilous the dance between duty and desire becomes…

°MATURE AUDIENCES• He carried me, my legs wrapped around his waist, while my back rested against the wall. I loved this position when he gave it to me. I thought he was an ordinary man. I thought that since I had already tasted his touch, the dreams of our intimacy always haunting me, I could own him. Finally, as a goddess, I believed I could enjoy myself freely this time, get lost in pleasure, which I could finally savor. I wanted him for myself alone, my personal treasure. But then I began to fall for him. A treasure I thought I could use and discard at will became something I couldn't go a day without. His presence became my weak point, my doom and yet, I couldn't help but embrace him. __________ "They all deserve to die a terrible death." These were the words of the goddess of revenge when the anguished cries of a woman, a victim of relentless domestic violence reached her divine ears.

She had always prevailed, delivering justice to those who deserved it. But this time, her task proved unexpectedly complex. Living under the same roof with her husbands after signing a marriage deal, one of them proved to be no ordinary man. Tristan D'Leon, a vampire, a creature born from the depths of hell, carrying his own mysterious burdens and duties. Their fates intertwined, both driven by obligations they could not ignore.

A high ceiling, adorned with intricate carvings and fanciful decor. A warm golden light passing through stained glass highlighting the beauty of justice and righteous valour- a contrast to the maleficent beings that would often face this light- illuminates the room. Upon a raised dais, there is a displeased king, and by his side, stern-faced nobles and court officials stare down menacingly at the accused. Below these extinguished figures, bounded by chains and covered in grime, was a six-year-old girl. "Ixion Akastos Vespera" "In the presence of our sovereign King and the noble dukes of this great nation, you are summoned to answer for the grave crimes alleged against you. The entire house of Vespera, your family and lineage, has been wrongfully slain by a treacherous prisoner of theirs. We have reason to believe you have conspired with the ungrateful fiend, betraying your own blood and committing treason against our liege. How do you answer? Are you guilty or not guilty of this heinous crime?" "Not guilty." "Not guilty? Very well. You shall-" "I killed them myself. Not the dragon, only I." Murmurs erupted among the usually unperturbed high-class nobles. "Is it not according to law that a bloodline inheritor may kill all other potential heirs? As for my unfortunate mother, she was merely an unintended mishap." °°° Alexandra Chase, among a million others, found herself in a deadly game orchestrated by a supreme goddess to gain access to another world. Unfortunately, her life in this new world won't be any softer than the one before it. Her drive is not only to survive but also to supersede those beings who stand above. The goddess's schemes are far deeper than she could imagine. She is granted talent, unlimited potential, and terrifying attunement to the world itself with her new body, but many geniuses die young. Her most capable weapon is a concept many have yet to fathom- her soul.

Reina Saeki is a teenage genius obsessed with the mysteries of the universe, spending her days in the quiet of her lab, chasing big questions that most adults can’t even dream of. But despite her sharp mind, Reina has trouble with one big mystery: people. Known as the “Ice Queen” by her classmates, Reina feels more comfortable with science than socializing, often avoiding others and coming across as cold and unapproachable. That begins to change when her younger brother, Hiro, nudges her to try being a little friendlier. Soon, Reina’s small attempts to connect start drawing a few classmates closer to her—especially Himari, who admires her intelligence; Ayumi, who’s full of energy; and Kaito, a calm artist with a thoughtful nature. Little by little, Reina learns that making friends isn’t as simple as solving a problem. It’s messy, awkward, and sometimes confusing, but it’s also rewarding in ways she never expected. As Reina’s personal journey unfolds, she realizes that understanding the people around her is just as meaningful as exploring the universe. Kodoku na Uchū no Kodomo is a heartfelt story of friendship, growth, and the challenges of opening up to others in a world that can feel as vast and unknown as outer space.

Marcu Aurelius Saavedra was known as a one-woman man, and everyone knows that. He doesn’t cheat and do flings. Marcus Aurelius’ loyalty is unwavering, believing a man should only love one woman. But soon, Marcus Aurelius’ beliefs crumbled when her girlfriend of 7 years left him. Now, she’s back, and he needs to face her. But to hell with it, he will not face her alone when Cruella Cervantes barged into his life-literally and figuratively. At that moment, when he saw her heart-shaped face and her hazel eyes staring into his dark brown eyes, his belief began to crumble. Yet his gaze could not leave her full lips, which were inviting and tinted a delicate shade of pink, fueling something within him. Marcus Aurelius then proposed a fake relationship with Cruella. One rule she must abide by is not to fall in love with him. Their relationship will be under bedroom negotiation, and falling in love with each other is a sin. And yet all he could remember was the need to kiss her and stare at her hazel eyes. But the question is: Will he overthrow the attraction he felt for the woman, knowing it’s a sin, or would Marcus Aurelius let his feelings show as he thrust hard and deep inside her?
