The Estate: Legacy of the Future

Philip Graciasta’s life is thrown into turmoil when his father, Alexander—a brilliant tech magnate with far-reaching ambitions—dies unexpectedly, leaving behind a massive fortune, a labyrinth of secrets, and a future fraught with danger. At the funeral, Philip meets the enigmatic and captivating Galatea, who has been mysteriously appointed as the trustee of his father's estate. What should have been a straightforward inheritance quickly spirals into a treacherous game of power, deception, and high-stakes corporate warfare. Determined to claim his rightful place at the helm of Andromeda Industry Group, Philip faces formidable opposition from within his own family. His powerful mother, Victoria, a real estate mogul, sees Galatea as a threat to her own ambitions. His half-sister, Lilianna, quietly manipulates events behind the scenes, serving as an informant for a shadowy organization whose true purpose remains unclear. As Philip struggles to untangle his family’s web of betrayals, he realizes that the stakes are far higher than he imagined. In his quest for control, Philip is reluctantly drawn into the larger forces at play. Dr. Max Sokraberg, a scientific visionary and Alexander’s closest friend, becomes his unlikely ally. Max holds the key to revolutionary technologies that promise to reshape the future, but these advancements also carry ethical and existential challenges. Philip soon discovers that Alexander's ultimate vision involves more than just the future of their company—it involves the future of humanity itself. The specifics of this grand plan are shrouded in mystery, but its implications ripple through everything Philip encounters. Meanwhile, Enrich Falconhyde, a former diplomat from Osgoria is thrust into a dark transformation. Once a peace-loving idealist, Enrich is consumed by grief and rage following his fiancée’s tragic death in an assassination attempt. His sorrow turns him into a warmonger, zealously supporting Osgoria’s extremist military faction. This faction seeks total domination over Alyssia, at any cost—even if it means mass civilian casualties. Enrich's descent into fanaticism mirrors the growing instability of their world as wars and social tensions rose all over the globe paralleling technological transformations. As global tensions rise and the secret organization pulls strings behind the scenes, Philip must navigate a rapidly changing landscape. Galatea, despite becoming ever more intimate with Philip, remains an enigma, concealing a secret that could shake Philip’s very understanding of reality. In a world teetering on the edge of war and technological transformation, Philip must unravel his father’s mysteries and decide whether to embrace or reject the future Alexander envisioned.

JIKIRUKUTO

Unravel the fabric of reality with Jikirukuto, where a boy's wish-warping power ripples through dimensions, entangling Yuki, Kitsune, and Taiyo in a Schrodinger's cat of existence. In Isekai, they're heroic pawns in a cosmic game, battling tenebrous entities and navigating a landscape sculpted by a mad scientist's contraption. Yet, the mundane present-day beckons, rife with personal struggles and romantic entanglements. But prepare for a Heisenbergian uncertainty principle of narrative, where reality's parameters shift with every heartbeat. Temporal anomalies blur the lines between past, present, and future. Doppelgängers waltz with the original, their identities collapsing like entangled particles. And amidst the chaos, a chilling truth emerges, whispering of a malevolent force manipulating the very fabric of existence. Jikirukuto is a genre-defying maelstrom, where LitRPG mechanics dance with psychological horror, slice-of-life vignettes bleed into Lovecraftian nightmares, and ecchi humor collides with existential dread. Can they untangle the Gordian knot of their entwined fates before reality succumbs to the singularity, swallowed by the event horizon of narrative collapse? Jikirukuto: Embrace the scientific sublime, where logic is a fractal and sanity a fleeting illusion. This revised synopsis injects a heavy dose of scientific jargon and concepts, emphasizing the mind-bending twists and the underlying chaos theory themes. It also retains the character dynamics and genre blend while hinting at the existential threat lurking beneath the surface.

Hero of Greed

The Vecora Continent is home to three countries of great power, each with its own grudges, desires, and internal machinations. Athios. An alliance of belligerent city-states that make up the southern region, whose borders are being encroached on by hungry neighbors. Theurgard. A clannish collective located in the freezing northern steppes of Vecora. With the passing of time, it has evolved into a hawkish empire, whose frostbitten populace hungrily stares toward the more temperate south. Finally, Rochan. A kingdom made up of traders, merchants, seafarers, and ambitious adventurers. They call the Delane Peninsula their home, sandwiched between Athios and Theugard. Rochan has found itself benefiting off the other two's skirmishes, though such gold has created dangerously ambitious nobles. And living on this continent, is Gary. Neither his name nor personality would suggest Gary would ever have an impact on the world. Generally unpleasant and of average talent, he would have been lucky to be put down as a footnote in history. He is a greedy, lying, sorry excuse of a team leader who is more than willing to risk it all for some gold. But stuck in a dire situation, Gary experiences a freak accident, one that leads him either to the end of the world, or a chance at greatness. Living in a world with scheming nobles and existential doom, Gary must change his actions, and become something he was never meant to be: a hero. Or... at least pretend to be one. ................
