Quit Being A Hero

___Lost Notes___ In this age of superheroes, the public safety is at the hands of these all so powerful figures. Located in the metropolis of Condor is the worlds strongest hero, UltraMan. In his decade long carrier, he has destroyed multiple conspiracies started by the city's old elite, single handedly apprehended the mafias that encroached upon the weak and feeble and even stopped several alien invasions and infiltrations. It is safe to assume that such a man would have many enemies, but with skin that cannot be pierced by any earthly means and strength that puts the legends of old to shame, how can such a creature ever be defeated? If UltraMan wanted to, he could have conquered earth at any time. So why did he not? No one quite knows. '' In any regards, he is seen as the balancing force of the world. So what happens if he is removed from the picture? What if I removed him? How will the world live? How will "I" live? ....

In a world where strength determines one's future, William, an orphan with no extraordinary talents, faces a grim destiny—until a brutal attack leaves him clinging to life. Instead of death, he awakens to a mysterious and powerful entity lurking within his mind: the Shadow System, a game-like interface that promises him unimaginable power. But this power comes with dark secrets, and refusing it would mean his death. Forced into a pact with a voice that can hear his every thought, William must navigate a dangerous new reality where shadow abilities and celestial power collide. As he enters the prestigious military academy, his newfound abilities draw both allies and enemies, all while a deadly conspiracy brews in the shadows. With the odds stacked against him, William must unravel the mystery of the Shadow System and decide whether to embrace the darkness within—or be consumed by it. His journey from a bullied outcast to a potential god will challenge not just his survival, but his very humanity. Power always comes at a cost—will William be able to pay the price? "What am I?" William asked the system. The system’s voice echoed in his head, cold and indifferent. "You are nothing."

# RELAXED Liu Qing is reborn and goes back two years in time. He starts his reborn life at the point of getting a breakup text message from his girlfriend. Previously, in that life, he dated his girlfriend for a few years, and used all the money he earned from being a security guard to support her and pay for her lifestyle and living expenses when she quit her own security guard job to go back to school. However, in the end, she looked down on him after she found an office job, then cheated on him and eventually left him for another man. To add insult to injury, in his desire to have a simple life with his girlfriend, he rejected the chance to reunite with his wealthy estranged mother and missed out on the opportunity to become a rich second generation. He was overwhelmed by immense grief after all that and fell into a deep depression that eventually destroyed him. In this life, Liu Qing is determined not to become a simp again, especially since he is being given another chance to change the path of his life. He says to her, “Let's come clean. Isn't it good to break up? I don't have to be your spare tire anymore. You can also live with your one true love. We would each get what we want.” Then he resigns from his security guard job to reunite with his mother. When everyone asks him why, he says, "Because I am going to inherit assets worth billions of dollars!"

Superpowers appeared suddenly plunging the world into chaos. Wars broke out, countries were destroyed, and the powers spread like a plague. 100 years later powers became the norm, countries all collapsed, and The Watch rose up to protect the world. Life was black and white. The heroes fought the villains and saved the day, the villains did bad things and were defeated. That’s how most children saw it. Peter Het never should have seen it that way, but he did - until his image of the world burnt in front of his eyes. Levi Winter always saw it that way - until the world gave him reason to. Both wanted to try and make a difference using the powers they'd been born with. One had planned to help the world by being the perfect hero, the other by killing the people he saw as responsible for the problems that polluted the world. Neither found themselves doing what they’d imagined. The one seeking to be a hero became a criminal, the one seeking vengeance became an icon of heroes. Their paths in life diverged like streams rushing down a mountain and are then brought back together to cascade over the edge into a new unknown. Both are seeking peace in the unceasing hurricane of life and the violence they can’t escape, and they’ve come to realize that ‘hero’ is nothing more than a title.

The soul’s life has become a series of dull routines, where dreams and ambitions seem distant, buried under the weight of daily struggles. Surrounded by a culture of endless expectations and pressure, it feels increasingly lost and disconnected, its purpose clouded by frustration and self-doubt. But one night, in a moment of quiet reflection, the soul stumbles upon the Japanese concept of Kaizen—a philosophy of continuous, small improvements. Curious and a bit skeptical, the soul decides to give Kaizen a chance, committing to small, meaningful changes every day. As it takes small steps—like organizing its space, setting achievable goals, and reconnecting with passions—it begins to see shifts in its outlook and confidence. Slowly, the soul learns that lasting change doesn’t need grand gestures; it’s about finding joy in small victories and growth. Through this journey, the soul reconnects with itself and discovers a renewed sense of purpose and happiness. With Kaizen guiding it, the soul realizes that transformation is not an overnight miracle but a steady, fulfilling path toward becoming its best self.

When the world is thrust into chaos with the awakening of mana, Gawain Alaric is one of many caught in the storm. But unlike the others, he’s been here before. After witnessing the fall of humanity in his first life, he returns to the past with one goal: seize the power he once lacked and alter the fate of the world. Armed with his knowledge of the future, Gawain is determined to rewrite his destiny and rise to power in a new world where strength, mana, and cunning rule. The world has undergone a forced evolution, and now, humanity was forced to fight for their lives in the nightmarish tutorial, all the while building enough strength to save themselves from monsters in human skin. But Gawain knows the real threat isn’t just the monsters lurking in the darkness—it’s whom they called, Otherworlder, a being who exists in the world beyond and manipulates Earth’s downfall for their own twisted gain. Gawain has seen their true face and witnessed the destruction they bring. This time, he will stop them before they can plunge the world into chaos. At the heart of this apocalyptic upheaval stands the Tower—an ominous structure that appeared overnight, its peak shrouded in the clouds. And well, let's just say Gawain knew about the horrors there better than anyone else. The Tower isn’t just a place of trials and rewards; it’s a game board for the gods, who watch from their lofty thrones, amused by the suffering of mortals. To them, Earth is nothing but a grand spectacle, and humanity’s fight for survival is their favorite form of entertainment. But this time, he won't be just a mere pawn. He won't let that monster wipe out his home. This time, Gawain will be the one pulling the strings.

Hardin, a seventeen year old is pulled into the world of adventurers and superheroes after risking his life to save a small boy. He awakened a power deep within him.

[WPC August Entry 2024] "Erik, you committed a serious crime by plagiarizing a man's work," declared the God. "There are millions of criminals committing worse crimes than mine. Why am I being punished?" Erik retorted. "Because you stole a novel from a man who used to be a hero and died protecting the planet." --- "Hello, fraud. Live in a world as me, the pathetic hero you described, and I will be your greatest adversary, the demon lord," Rome proclaimed with a chilling smile. In this novel, Erik is reborn as the hero of the stolen tale, but the demon lord Rome and the Gods won't allow him a moment's peace. Because who wouldn't? Erik stole a novel from Rome, God's favored child. He plagiarized it, catapulting himself to the position of the world's top novelist while Rome spiraled into despair, ultimately ending his own life. For Rome, the novel wasn't just a collection of words. It was a universe where he had lived through triumph and sacrifice, where every character and plot twist had been a part of his own existence. As a former hero, Rome made a wish to the Gods. He yearned to be reborn as the demon lord in the same world where he had met his end at the hands of the demon lord, with Erik reincarnated as the hero destined to fall by the demon lord's hand. Will Erik defy fate and evade the clutches of the demon lord, or will Rome exact his revenge? Or perhaps, something even more monumental is about to unfold? ---- **Disclaimer:** This novel is a work of fiction and is not based on any real individuals or events. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. It is not intended to offend or attack anyone.
