[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

--WSA 2025 ENTRY-- Neraxis saved the people and wiped out the monsters, but instead of cheers, he faced silence and a glowing blue text: [Task Failed Successfully!] [Rating Generated: SSS-Rank] "The hell does that even mean?" he muttered, finding the situation a bit strange. Before he could process, the so-called heroes—who had hidden while he fought—emerged. He waited for gratitude, only to feel a dagger pierce his back. The only girl he loved stood behind him. She betrayed him. The crowd and heroes? They were staring at him with disdain and contempt. "You..." he groaned as a spear and sword headed for him, ending his life. But instead of dying, he was sent back to the past—specifically, to the first day of the academy, year 2367, 8 years before his death. However, many things had changed. One of the most significant was the sudden appearance of a Tower, a mysterious structure that had appeared across all the continents, granting power to those brave enough to contest its challenges. "Not again... With this chance I will end you all" Neraxis vowed to himself, embarking on his path of revenge, while also trying to give his life new meaning. ***** Disclaimer: MC is not instantly going to be a villain, as his background is that of a hero. The switch will be gradual in accordance with the events that happen along the way. Some snippets of such events have already been teased :) *****

I used to be a 30-something IT administrator. Single. No clue about women. Technically sharp, socially not so much. Then I died. Somehow. (It was probably stupid. Don’t ask.) Now? I’ve been reborn in a primitive fantasy world as a girl. Not a badass warrior. Not a magical prodigy. Just… a really cute farmer’s daughter with an unusually high IQ, a growing existential crisis, and zero say in any of it. Also: no goddess, no system, no cheat. Just me, my memories, and some ridiculous baby reflexes. Oh, and did I mention this world has a super clunky magic system built around runes, vectors, and mana circuits? Guess who’s about to debug magic. This is a story about struggling with identity, building from scratch, and rewriting the rules—one awkward moment at a time. Author’s Note: This is my second story, written as a side project whenever I'm stuck with my main novel Shard of Possibilities. If you enjoy it, please leave lots of comments, critiques, and suggestions — they help a ton and keep me motivated. Thanks for reading!

In a world where magical prowess defines everything, Reyon Phoenix is the youngest heir to the Phoenix House, the strongest magical family in the world. Despite being born into a prestigious family, Reyon has always struggled with his limited magical reserves. Unlike his genius ancestors, most notably his grandfather, Leywin Phoenix, a legend who used his superior control of magic to create the groundbreaking concept of Vector Magic, Reyon has never been able to unlock his true potential. At 25, after years of pushing his limits, Reyon has only managed to reach the 5th Circle of magic, the same level as his late grandfather. However, he knows he’s no closer to achieving the feats Leywin once accomplished, as Leywin’s techniques could manipulate mana in ways no one else could, transcending even the mythical 9th Circle. When a terrifying dragon emerges from the depths of history and threatens to destroy the world, Reyon is powerless against it—his strength is not enough to match the beast's devastating might. On the brink of death, Reyon’s world suddenly changes. A mysterious light transports him back in time, to when he was just 17 years old—before the world was destroyed and before the tragic events that led to the demise of his family. Now, armed with the knowledge of his future and the fragments of his grandfather’s lost notes, Reyon has a second chance to master Vector Magic and rewrite his fate. But with a past full of enemies and allies whose destinies intertwine with his own, Reyon must navigate the complex world of academia, family expectations, and dangerous rivalries.

A game is about to begin—a ruthless contest of blood and death where mercy is a forgotten word. The weak will be trampled, the innocent will be devoured, and only the cunning, the ruthless, and the unparalleled will rise. This is no ordinary game; the wager? it's nothing less than the world itself. But isn’t that what makes it thrilling? After all, what fun is a game if survival comes easy?

Super Thriller Live One stream. One player. One fatal choice. Every night at midnight, a chilling broadcast appears on the dark web — Super Thriller Live. No one knows who runs it. No one knows where it's filmed. But one rule is always the same: A random viewer is selected. They must play the game. If they win, they’re rewarded. If they fail... they die. Gao Jian, a quiet night shift worker with a troubled past, thought he was just another late-night viewer. But when his screen flickers and his name appears as the next contestant, reality warps into a living nightmare. Transported into a series of escalating horror scenarios — each more brutal, psychological, and surreal than the last — Gao Jian must follow the unseen host’s twisted instructions while millions watch in silence. With the world questioning whether the stream is real or just the most elaborate horror show ever made, Gao Jian must navigate a deadly maze of puzzles, hallucinations, and buried traumas. The reward: freedom and a second chance at life. The price of failure: live-streamed death. But Gao Jian isn’t just a player. He’s starting to remember things… things that connect him to the game in ways he never imagined. What if you weren’t just playing for your life? What if the game was playing you?

They’re broke. They’re emotionally unavailable. They’re probably not licensed to do any of this. But somehow… they keep saving the world by accident. Meet Kazuki Kuroda, a washed-up conman with a mysterious past, a strawberry milk addiction, and a gift for lying through his teeth. Leading a team of psychic freeloaders, demon cats, and emotionally unstable sidekicks, he takes on odd jobs no one else wants—ghost infestations, psychic toddlers, cursed ramen contests… He never means to be a hero. He just wants lunch. But when a simple errand spirals into citywide chaos, Kazuki and his ragtag crew get mistaken for world-saving legends. Again. Between possessed microwaves, fake god impersonations, accidental cult leadership, and one very emotional haunted bathroom ghost, things start getting weird. And dangerous. Because beneath the punchlines and pratfalls… something darker is stirring. And Kazuki? He’s not just lying to the world. He’s lying to himself.
