Fifteen years ago, Asahi Ryuuji was just a humble farmer and martial arts enthusiast from Earth—until he was transported to another world and gifted with an extraordinary power known only as the [Gift of the World]. Chosen as humanity’s last hope, he fought endlessly across kingdoms, ravaged battlefields, and against time itself. And finally, he did the unthinkable: he defeated the Demon Lord and his four strongest generals in a single, world-shaking battle. But victory didn’t bring him peace. Haunted by the countless lives he ended—even those of monsters—Asahi vanished from the world he saved. No grand parades. No goodbyes. No crown. He retreated to the most dangerous and uncharted island in the realm, where nature is wild, magic is ancient, and dragons still roam. There, he began a new life—one of soil, silence, and healing. Now 35 years old, Asahi farms quietly, surrounded by beasts most would flee from, and seeks only the comfort of growing things and listening to the wind. But the world hasn't forgotten him. Neither has she. Elysia—the Dragon Queen, strongest of her kind and ruler of skies—descends upon his island, not with fire or fury, but with understanding. Having watched from afar as Asahi sacrificed everything, she comes not to drag him back to glory, but to stay... by his side. This is not the story of battles and heroes. It is the story of what happens after the final war. Of quiet mornings, shared meals, and slowly blooming love. Of a man learning how to live again.

Transported to the complex, dangerous world of Astrum Regalia – a realm of 30 continents orbiting a black hole, ruled by god-like families wielding cosmic magic – Kaelen Varis discovers he is a Pillar-Singer, uniquely attuned to the resonant network that stabilizes reality. Guided by the stern Commander Lyra Solarius and the ancient construct Cygnus, Kaelen must learn to harness his burgeoning powers to defend the network against escalating threats. The shadowy Umbral Hand launches devastating attacks, attempting to overload the network's core Resonance Sink and later infiltrating anchors using a sophisticated, weaponized Blight code. Kaelen's unique abilities prove crucial in repelling these assaults, but they reveal a deeper danger: the Hand may be using these attacks to probe the network's foundational field, seeking the location of the legendary Astrum Codex, an artifact capable of rewriting reality. Further complicating matters, a mysterious faction employs advanced temporal technology to probe the network's past, likely seeking historical vulnerabilities. Kaelen successfully jams their temporal relay but uncovers evidence that ancient design flaws are now being exploited, leading to a harrowing confrontation involving weaponized gravity near the Nyxara stratum. As Kaelen trains to perceive the foundational field more deeply, hoping to anticipate future attacks and understand the Codex's secrets, he stands as Astrum Regalia's last resonant shield against enemies wielding the powers of void, corruption, time, and gravity, fighting a war where the echoes of the past threaten to shatter the present.

Masked Menace Synopsis: "Weakest human." That was the title branded onto Arthur, born into the royal bloodline of the strongest human nation — yet cursed with the lowest potential. While others soared through the ranks of mana cultivation, Arthur failed to even awaken his Violet Core, leaving him unable to manifest his innate ability — the very essence of a person's strength. In a world where power defines worth, and weakness is a death sentence, Arthur’s life was a tragedy from the start. In the cold, calculating halls of the royal court, love is conditional, and failure is fatal. His noble lineage offered no protection — only more sharpened daggers at his back. But fate is a twisted force. When Arthur is cast aside, humiliated, and left to rot in the shadows, something awakens within him — something that should not exist. Beneath the mask of a failure lies a menace the world isn’t ready for. Forgotten by blood, betrayed by power, Arthur will rise… not as a prince, but as a predator. The world mocked his weakness. Now it will tremble before the Masked Menace.
