Gray Erza

The forest was unusually quiet that evening, its towering trees casting long shadows under the dim glow of the setting sun. Selene Rivers adjusted her scarf against the biting autumn chill, her boots crunching against the blanket of fallen leaves. She'd come to the woods for solace, hoping the isolation would help her clear her thoughts. Life in the small town of Everhollow had been far from eventful—until tonight. She hadn't planned to stay out late, but as the sun dipped below the horizon, she realized she'd wandered farther than usual. The air felt different now—heavier, as though the forest itself was holding its breath. A low growl shattered the silence. Selene froze, her heart pounding in her chest. She turned slowly, scanning the woods, but nothing stirred. Her pulse raced as she quickened her pace, her breath visible in the icy air. The growl came again, louder this time, followed by the unmistakable sound of snapping twigs. Panic surged through her veins. Selene broke into a run, weaving between the trees, her instincts screaming at her to flee. But she wasn't fast enough. A massive wolf leapt from the shadows, landing a few feet ahead of her. Its fur was jet-black, its golden eyes gleaming with predatory intent. Selene skidded to a halt, her breath hitching. The creature snarled, baring sharp teeth that glinted in the moonlight. Her mind raced. Wolves weren't supposed to be this big. This wasn't an ordinary animal—it radiated an unnatural intelligence, its gaze locked onto hers with almost human intensity. "Stay back," she whispered, though she knew it was futile. The wolf crouched, muscles coiling as it prepared to pounce. Selene closed her eyes, bracing for the worst. A deafening roar echoed through the forest, and the black wolf was suddenly thrown sideways by a blur of movement. Selene's eyes snapped open as two figures tumbled across the forest floor—a second wolf, larger and more imposing, its fur a stormy gray streaked with silver. The two beasts clashed violently, their growls shaking the air. Selene stumbled backward, her instincts urging her to run, but she couldn't tear her gaze away. The gray wolf fought with ferocity, its movements fluid and precise, as though it had been trained for this moment. After a brutal exchange of claws and teeth, the black wolf let out a pained yelp and darted into the shadows, disappearing into the depths of the forest. The gray wolf stood still, its chest heaving as it watched the retreating figure. Slowly, it turned to face Selene. She should have been terrified. But as the wolf's piercing blue eyes met hers, she felt an odd sense of calm. There was no malice in its gaze—only curiosity and something she couldn't quite place. And then it happened. Before her eyes, the wolf began to shift. Its massive frame contorted, bones cracking and reshaping, fur receding to reveal pale skin. Selene's breath caught as the creature transformed into a man.

Standing against these perils are the Bastions of Society, known as heroes—soldiers trained from adulthood to protect those who cannot defend themselves. These individuals are trained at the "Academy," the planet's only hero school. Among those destined to become our defenders, one boy, who doesn’t even truly know what he is, will fight for his dream on a long journey to the top of it all. What will echo through each battle? His voice, amidst a piercing cry: “TRANSMUTE!!” (Volume 1 of 3) (Attention: This story is part of the "Siglaverse" label.) (The protagonist is not a villain or has gray morality, maybe he will have such morality in the future, but I don't plan on it for now) (Author's Note: While this work takes itself seriously and the plot is meaningful, please know that alongside action and adventure, there’s a strong focus on comedy. Additionally, it draws inspiration not only from Tokusatsu but also from other works outside the genre. Chapters will generally be long, with occasional exceptions. With that said, I hope you enjoy it.)

"Born too late to explore the seas and too early to explore the stars." This was a line that most people resonated with deeply, and Gray's emotions also resonated with it, even though he had no particular interest in exploring the world. Gray was someone who grew up reading about great conquerors like Alexander the Great and Genghis Khan. He admired their ambition and dreamed of becoming a legendary figure like them. Sadly, he felt he was born in the wrong era to fulfill those aspirations. However, one day while playing a video game, Gray suddenly found himself transmigrating to a new, apocalyptic world filled with magic and horrifying monsters. Instead of feeling fear, Gray was excited - this was the perfect opportunity to follow his grand ambitions. And Gray did just that. He fought and conquered for countless years, building a vast empire through sheer force of will. Yet even as his power grew, his heart grew weary and tired. Still, his empire showed no signs of stopping. It didn't take long for Gray to notice one unsettling thing: his wives had become all too eager in continuing the fight to expand his dominion over the world. .........

But during what should have been an ordinary work trip, something extraordinary happened. At the airport, she crossed paths with Leon Gray, a man who felt like he’d stepped right out of the pages of her favorite romance novels—too perfect, too enigmatic, and far too captivating to be real. From the moment he spoke, Leon felt like he knew her, offering to turn her into the heroine she’d always dreamed of being. Of course, it sounded crazy, but there was something in his words, a pull she couldn’t ignore. Before she could even process what was happening, Emma was thrown into a whirlwind where nothing made sense, and Leon’s presence seemed to drag her deeper into a reality she didn’t even know existed. What was supposed to be a simple trip ended up changing everything she thought she knew about herself—and her past.

Travelling Through time was unfortunate but Falling in love was fortunate. The dreamy man Ivy always wanted~~~

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image

Lucias never thought his life would end like this-bleeding out in an S-rank dungeon, his entire party wiped out, and a Cerberus tearing through his gut. It wasn't just the pain that ate at him; it was the unfairness of it all. That L-grade monster had no business being there. Not in this dungeon. Not in this world. Once again, the system had fooled them, and humanity paid the price. As his vision blurred and his life slipped away, one thought echoed in his mind: If I'm going to die, at least let me know how that novel ends. For over a decade, Lucias had been obsessed with a story-one of a legendary hero who slayed dragons and even gods. He knew every twist, every turn, every detail. The protagonist had been his role model as a ranker. That story was the one thing that had kept him going through his mundane existence. Now, as death loomed, he couldn't stop thinking about it. He just wanted to see the ending. But instead of dying, Lucias wakes up in a place completely foreign to him. An old butler, gray-haired and impeccable in a clean, sleek suit, approaches his bed. When the butler speaks and addresses him as "Lord Seth," it all comes flooding back. The name is too familiar. Seth, the villainous lord who was destined to be killed by the protagonist in the novel Lucias had been reading. Sweat tricked down Lucias' forehead as the realization hit him: Out of all the people I could have become, why did I have to transmigrated into the villainous lord?
