Parasyte Solitude

In a realm where cultivators wield weapons bound to powerful spirits, Kai, a humble blacksmith from the outskirts, lives in the shadow of legendary warriors and their spirit-forged arms. While most dream of battles and glory, Kai finds peace in the solitude of his forge—until one fateful night when he discovers an ancient, shattered weapon bearing a faint pulse of life. As he repairs the broken blade, he awakens an ethereal spirit long forgotten, binding him to a power beyond any he could have imagined: the power to craft weapons infused not only with strength but with souls. With each weapon Kai repairs or creates, he begins to unlock secrets hidden within the world’s ancient armories—spirits with voices, memories, and desires. The crafted spirits share a consciousness that reveals the suffering of countless beings sacrificed to forge power. Bound by this newfound connection, Kai realizes his creations wield more than just strength—they hold the essence of those lost in the name of power. As word of his unique talent spreads, Kai becomes a target for ruthless factions who seek to harness his skills, demanding he forge weapons capable of dominance and control. However, Kai’s creations refuse to be mere instruments of war, and an uprising brew among the crafted spirits. Caught between warring clans and his own creations, Kai must decide if he will become a tool of destruction or wield his craft to ignite a revolution of liberation and change. In "The Celestial Forge Master," Kai’s journey becomes one of self-discovery and courage as he forges a path that challenges the very nature of power and sacrifice. With every swing of his hammer, he must face the question: will he be a maker of weapons or a creator of freedom?

There’s Edward, his assassin butler who finds himself helplessly loyal to his unbothered lord; Noah, a scarred experiment with tentacle powers who clings to the warmth Kai unknowingly provides; and Charles, a gentle yet troubled fox shifter whose rough life on the streets turns into a fixation on Kai’s rare kindness.

Bronze WINNER of WPC#322: Male Lead: Zombie Invasion Takemi Kazuichi might very well be the luckiest and unluckiest person in the world. He was an orphan, and he was severely bullied in school. Because of that, he became a hikikomori, a shut-in. When he turned sixteen, he was adopted by a rich couple who loved him as if he was their own son. Unfortunately, they died in a plane crash, and Kazuichi never overcame his bad habits of being a shut-in, largely because of his preying relatives. Fast forward to four years later, Takemi Kazuichi still stayed in the house left by his late parents. He never bothered going to work or going out to socialize with people. For the lack of a better term, he was a rich hikikomori. He never even bothered to check the news or log in on any social media. All he did was live his life in solitude, devoid of any human interaction. One day, as he came out of the shower, he heard a strange thumping sound by the doorway. "That's weird, I didn't order any delivery today." He told himself before absent-mindedly opening the door. And what stared back didn't resemble a human at all. It was a zombie— or so that's what the first thing that came into Kazuichi's mind. Unbeknownst to him, the world had drastically changed, and he was the last one to know.

As he reached out, fingers brushing against the cold stone walls, memories of drifting above an unfamiliar land for eons slowly returned. For tens of thousands of years, he had existed as a bodiless spirit, an invisible observer of time and space, with only his thoughts for company. The endless solitude had nearly erased his sense of self. But today, he felt something new—touch. He had finally acquired a body, a physical form. Yet, this “container” felt ominously wrong. Though he longed for a body, he hadn’t expected it to come in the form of something sealed in a coffin. How he came to inhabit this vessel was a mystery, but he knew one thing for certain: he was currently entombed in a burial box. With a bitter laugh, he realized his journey as a “complete” traveler across worlds would begin by clawing his way out of a grave—not exactly the rebirth he’d imagined. Using all his newfound strength, Gawain struggled to push open the heavy coffin lid. His unused muscles ached and strained, but the sensation of real, physical power thrilled him. After several attempts, he finally dislodged the stone cover, letting a thin ray of light pierce the darkness. “At last… a glimpse of the world again.”

Author: Mikawa Ghost Cover, Illustrations: Hiten From classmates to brother and sister, living under the same roof. After his father's remarriage, Asamura Yuuta ends up getting a new stepsister, coincidentally the number one beauty of the school year, Ayase Saki. Having learned important values when it comes to man-woman relationships through the previous ones of their parents, they promise each other not to be too close, not to be too opposing, and to merely keep a vague and comfortable distance. On one hand, Saki, who has worked in solitude for the sake of her family, doesn't know how to properly rely on others, whereas Yuta is unsure of how to really treat her. Standing on fairly equal ground, these two slowly learn the comfortable sensation of living together. Their relationship slowly evolves from being strangers the more the days pass. Eventually, this could end up in a story about love for all we know.

With new abilities and burning questions about his origins, Shenlong embarks on a journey to reclaim his honor, prove his worth, and uncover the mysteries surrounding his past and the enigmatic Qin pendant.
