In the city of Altaran, memories are currency—and power. The ruling elite hoard knowledge like gold, while the desperate sell fragments of their past to survive. With the right tools, you can buy blissful ignorance, erase a crime, or rewrite your loyalties. But every stolen memory leaves a scar… and some scars never fade. Ilyas Varin, known on the streets as Rook, is an illegal Memory Forger—erasing, rewriting, and stealing thoughts for the city’s most dangerous players. His tools can sever trauma, fabricate alibis, or bury the darkest sins. His own past? Locked behind mental fortresses even he can’t breach. But when a high-profile client’s mind reveals a memory of Rook himself, imprisoned and begging for a freedom he doesn’t remember losing, the lines between hunter and hunted collapse. Now, with the city’s most feared factions—the Blackwell Consortium, rogue mind-brokers, and the secretive Mnemonic Order—circling like vultures, Rook must unravel a conspiracy buried deep within Altaran’s neural underground. His gift made him powerful. His forgotten past might get him killed. In a world where the mind is no longer sacred… what happens when your own memories become your greatest weapon—or your final betrayal?

After years trapped in a hospital bed, Haise’s life finally comes to an end. Or so he thought. Instead of finding peace in the afterlife, he wakes in a strange, endless space where a mysterious entity offers him a mission with no clear explanation. Before he can ask a single question, the world fades away once more. Haise opens his eyes in an unfamiliar land. In this new world where strength and talent decide everything, he is given a unique power to help him survive. A tool unlike any other. At first, he does not understand it. But soon, it becomes clear. He can bind souls to his cards and call upon their strength whenever he needs it. Collect them. Command them. Rise above them all. This is not just a second life. It is his chance to win.

The novel unfolds an epic saga in a world ruled by light and shadow — but light is not always good, and shadow is not purely evil. Ancient forces clash for the right to reshape the world, where truth is tainted by betrayal, and nobility walks hand in hand with cruelty. Weapons are not mere tools of war — they are extensions of their bearers’ souls, echoing their past, their burdens, and a path not chosen, but forced upon them. Loyalty shifts. Justice is a fluid illusion. And power… in this world, it is no privilege — it is a curse. No one holds it without sacrificing a piece of their soul. This story weaves between philosophy and battle, between blood-soaked poetry and silent screams, where death is not the end… but the beginning of a truth that can only be told — in the language of shadows.

Why, spill their blood? The journey of a God to simplicity, to the origin of all things. Time is nothing but a tool. Schemes of the figure hidden behind the vile of all beginnings.

In a world where magic and technology once coexisted in harmony, peace reigned for centuries. But as time passed, magic became a tool for selfish ambition and destruction. Following devastating wars, new and unknown entities began invading our world through mysterious Gates—rifts that humanity could neither understand nor control. These cataclysmic events fractured what was once a unified global order. Humanity split into four distinct factions: > The Royalty-Nobility Faction seeks to preserve power and tradition. > The Military Faction, dedicated to security but increasingly authoritarian. > The Freedom Faction, standing for individual rights and a future free of oppression. > The Neutral Faction, protectors of knowledge and guardians of balance. Alliances formed, and tensions rose. The Royalty and Military factions joined forces to consolidate authority and suppress opposition. In response, the Freedom and Neutral factions forged a peace pact, focusing on protecting the next generation and creating associations to resist control. Standing beside the Freedom Faction, the Church has long served as a beacon of hope and faith. This is the story of a young, ordinary boy—blessed with uncommon luck—who will rise to become one of Humanity’s Guardians. His name is Accel. -Enjoy Reading-

“Justice is just a story... written by those who won.” Lucian Veylor was executed as a villain. But what if he was the only one who ever saw the truth? Now, reborn in an empire on the brink of collapse—where heroes are staged, and weakness is erased—Lucian awakens with the Villain System: a sentient interface that thrives on fear, control, and calculated dominance. This isn’t revenge. It’s redirection. He sees the narrative. He understands the rules. And he will overwrite them—line by line. Power? He’ll carve his own throne. Enemies? He’ll use them as tools. Truth? He’ll twist it into a blade. In a world that worships false heroes and shallow justice, Lucian will rise as the ultimate contradiction— the villain who tells the truth... and rewrites the world in silence.

Is Magic really just a wish machine? No! In a universe where Magic truly exists, the ultimate nature of Magic must be as simple and aesthetically pleasing as the laws of physics. This is the story of a mass-produced magical war tool who learned the ultimate nature of Magic. But what of it? Just as birds can fly without understanding aerodynamics, magicians can use Magic without grasping its ultimate nature. Learning the ultimate nature of Magic doesn't mean the tool can instantly transform into a great magician. But yearning for knowledge is a human instinct, and curiosity is the primary driving force of human civilization. Even for Magic, which should seemingly defy explanation, humans hope to understand its inherent operational laws. The pursuit of Magic's ultimate nature requires no reason! The story in this book takes place in an era where steel and gunpowder dance together. Here, firearms are on the rise; armor remains the main character; military theory is changing rapidly, with endless innovations in systems and techniques. And this world has something more than ours: Magic. The world is undergoing a profound transformation, and no one can remain detached from it...

Hoping to reach home before dawn, they encounter a mysterious old man with a broken-down car at the very spot where, years ago, a school bus full of sleeping girls and their driver tragically crashed.

Shen QingShu, 22, died in an accident. His biggest regret before his death was that he’d been single all his life. He obviously wasn’t a monk, but he’d never eaten meat. Then, when he opened his eyes, he saw a handsome, self-assured man standing before him. The handsome man parted his thin lips slightly and asked, “Wanna have a one-night stand?” Shen QingShu didn’t hesitate at all. “Let’s do it! Twice!” The next morning, Shen QingShu woke up aching all over. Only then did he discover he’d transmigrated into a book. The handsome guy beside him who’d gone two rounds with him was the protagonist gong, Han Cheng, the second son of the Han Group. And the original owner of this body was just a disliked, death-seeking cannon fodder. Shen QingShu: …Well, this is f*cking awkward. But Shen QingShu didn’t panic. Anyway, he was just a cannon fodder. He figured they’d part in a few days He knew he was a tool man, a character who only existed to develop the plot. -Half a year later- Shen QingShu looked at the man next to him and wondered: It’s been more than six months. Why hasn’t he left already? Until the day he saw the protagonist shou and Han Cheng meet by accident. Tool man Shen QingShu immediately felt the call of duty. Eyes shining, he prepared to push the plot forward. “Don’t come looking for me in the future.” Shen QingShu was extremely self-aware. Han Cheng was shocked. “Why? Do you have feelings for someone else? Who is it?” Shen QingShu: … Darling, this reaction isn’t quite right. “I don’t accept this,” Han Cheng said, furious. “One day as husband and wife means a hundred days of grace. Can you even calculate how much grace we have?” Shen QingShu: … No, wait, what are you talking about? It’s not like I’m your wife. I’m just a tool man, and it’s time for me to go offline! However, Shen QingShu found that not only did the protagonist gong refuse to let him go offline, he was going to make him his bride! Shen QingShu: I’m crying. By Lin Ang Si

In a galaxy where cultivation fuels empires and secrets are buried in vaults of space and soul, one fractured girl may hold the key to a forgotten truth. Kaela has spent her life running—from the memories that haunt her, from the pain stitched into her body, and from a past she’s too scared to remember.

Her eye—once a tool of torment—aches with warnings she doesn't understand. And whispers about the expedition point to something no one is prepared for. Because something waits on Xelthora. And Kaela isn’t the only one being drawn toward it. Celestial Veins is a sci-fantasy space epic of forgotten bloodlines, fractured destinies, and the quiet strength of those who were never meant to survive.

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.
