Superman Clock

Kaito Kobayashi, a 15-year-old boy who left his quiet life in the peaceful countryside of Kyoto to chase his high school dreams in the bustling streets of Tokyo, soon realizes that reality isn’t as glamorous as he hoped. Struggling to make ends meet, Kaito works tirelessly as a part-time courier, barely scraping by. Every day is a battle against the clock, and his dwindling bank balance only makes it harder. Then, everything changes in an instant. His landlady, Ms. Naomi, drops a bombshell—Misaki Okada, a beautiful 15-year-old girl, is moving in to share the apartment with him. Kaito’s world is flipped upside down, especially after a disastrous encounter with Misaki earlier that day, which led to him being unfairly branded a "pervert." Now, they’re forced to live together under the same roof. Things get even more awkward when Kaito discovers that Misaki is not just his new roommate, but also happens to be in his class at school. How long can they keep their living situation a secret from their classmates, especially when every awkward moment seems to make their strained relationship even messier? And will Kaito finally break free from his misfortune and prove to Misaki who he truly is? Amid misunderstandings, forced closeness, and rapidly growing tension, Kaito and Misaki’s lives are about to collide in ways they never imagined. What begins as an awkward encounter quickly turns into something far more unpredictable—and perhaps, just perhaps, it could blossom into something neither of them expected.

Liam’s ordinary life takes an extraordinary turn when he dies and wakes up in the world of Aetherium Chronicles, a novel he once obsessed over. Now reborn as the son of a powerful Duke, he finds himself in a society where power and status are determined by one's talent. But Liam knows this world isn’t as glamorous as it seems—he’s read the story, and it’s filled with betrayal, war, and a looming catastrophe that could destroy everything. Armed with foreknowledge of key events, Liam is determined to change the fate of Aetherium. He must rise through the ranks, navigate the dangerous web of noble politics, and face off against enemies who would stop at nothing to see him fall. Yet as Liam’s presence begins to alter the novel’s events, he realizes that knowledge alone isn’t enough. Can he defy the script written for this world and carve out a new destiny? Or will the weight of the story’s original fate crush him under its inevitability? The stakes are high, and the clock is ticking in a world where only the strong survive.

In a world where love is narrowed down to mere societal expectation and in the quest to fulfill duties, the identity is buried, Whispers Beneath sheds light on Amara and her internal chaos, a woman torn between a life prescribed to her and one that she has recurrently been afraid to accept. Amara is a woman who seems to have followed the right path all along. In a patriarchal world, she finds solace in the love of her husband, Daniel, beneath the hope that such a conventional life would appease the storm raging within her heart. Still, Amara intuitively feels incomplete, it is a reality that she has intentionally evaded. Just as she begins to adjust to the path that she has taken, the surprise reappearance of her figure from the past Farida, reverses the clock and brings back the events that Amara valiantly sought to erase. In the course of reconciling with the past and Farida, Amara relives the agony of self-denial that had occasioned the schism. Stuck between the anguish of upbringing, allegiance to God, and the pressure from the society, she is posed with a choice of continuing to live a deceptive life or incurring the risk of being genuine. Whispers Beneath is a heart-breaking story that evokes emotion through an unforgiving plot which highlights the complexities of self-discovery, forbidden love, and tough choices. In this story, romance is a dual-edged sword, both binding and freeing, and Amara’s decision is such that will change not only her life, but the lives of everyone around her as well. Will Amara manage to break the shackles of the unuttered whispers beneath her heart that chooses to imprison her or does she possess the courage to live her life as she wills?

The clock struck midnight when Ruelle heard the echo of footsteps. She tensed, the fine hairs on the back of her neck standing on end in the cool night air. "You shouldn't be here," Ruelle whispered, her voice a breathless murmur. The silhouette finally came to stand under the moonlight, his dark red eyes watching her and his inky black hair ruffling. "Shouldn't I?" His voice was a dark caress, and she stood there captivated by the danger he exuded like perfume. "I haven’t seen you for the last two days," his tone low. His hand reached out, fingers brushing against the silk of her nightgown, tracing the trembling outline of her collarbone. "Tell me, were you avoiding me, or perhaps... entertaining other offers?" Ruelle’s heart raced, her breaths shallow. She declared, "I don't belong to anyone.” "A bold claim," he murmured, his breath a tantalising chill against her skin as he leaned in. "Yet here you are, pulse racing, your body tensed as if in anticipation of my touch." His fingers gripped her chin, tilting her face towards his. The moonlight caught his eyes, revealing a glint of predatory intent. "Or must I remind you whose touch you truly crave?"

Imagine a gamer, so skilled he bends reality itself (or so he thought). One moment he's conquering virtual worlds, the next, he is *in* the world. Trapped within the hyper-realistic game, he faces foes far more terrifying than any pixelated monster, forbidden magic, dark powers, and a looming darkness that threatens to consume not just his avatar, but his very soul. Will he find a way back, or is he destined to become a legend…or a ghost? The line between game and reality blurs, leaving him questioning: is this escape, or a fate worse than death?, would he be able to claim what he came that far for? and what happens when he begins to question reality as he discovers that he was in a simulation before he got sealed in the game ---------------------------- Excerpt: Where am I?" Blaze thought as he looked about in an empty room filled with nothing but an active mist of darkness. At this moment, Blaze was conflicted and the feeling of anxiety coupled with a foreboding sense of insecurity made him feel discomfort. "The last thing I remember was, me being in my gaming room rejoicing after finally defeating the final boss in the game when a notification suddenly pops up..." Blaze thought for a while and suddenly it came back "the notification!!,they promised me a cash reward of 10million dollars if I could complete the final task. So…,is this the final task. Sitting in a dark room without furniture,I can totally do it. After that,that cash reward would be mine!". Everytime Blaze thought of the cash reward, he'd be distracted from his thought. He stayed there for 3 hours, sometimes standing up to walk around the room which seemed as though he was walking around in circles, which also confuzzled him. How'd he know that he was there for 3 hours?, after sitting for a while, a digital clock suddenly appeared and what confused yet scared him, was the fact that the clock seemed to follow him everywhere he went. 30 minutes in, he heard a **PING** sound and a voice suddenly said "System Online- Welcome User 432234!". ________________________________ WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, READ NOW TO FIND OUT MORE!!……… Update between Monday - Friday (seldom Saturday)!!.

In a futuristic era where advanced technology rules, society has become a chaotic mix of digital immortality, artificial intelligence, and decaying morals. The world is divided between those living in virtual utopias and the impoverished masses, suffering in the wastelands of reality.

With the clock ticking towards the apocalypse, can he rise to become the savior foretold, or will Kaliyuga spiral into eternal darkness? The end of the world is just the beginning.

--- **Glimmers of Oblivion** Aruma Itzel was an ordinary 18-year-old until the day an immense clock appeared in the sky, counting down from 1 hour. In a world consumed by uncertainty, Aruma is randomly chosen for a deadly test: to survive a dimensional dungeon filled with multiple floors, each with its own unique challenges and terrifying creatures. With each floor, Aruma faces increasingly powerful enemies, from swarms of giant insects to frozen beasts and masters of dark arts. As he progresses, he uncovers abilities and strengths he never imagined, relying on his ingenuity and will to endure. The live broadcast of his battles allows the world to watch and comment in real time, giving him the support of strangers and the love of his family, but also the scorn and ridicule of his opponents. Guided by an enigmatic system that rewards him with invaluable skills and items, Aruma explores worlds filled with illusions, powerful creatures, and complex mental challenges. But as he climbs, he realizes that his enemies are not limited to the dungeon itself; other warriors, representatives of different planets and dimensions, also fight to survive, seeing each other as rivals. Amid alliances, betrayals, epic battles, and moments of personal discovery, Aruma learns that in this life-or-death game, true strength is not always found in skill or power, but in the courage to face the unknown and the hope for a future that, though uncertain, still shines before him. Will Aruma overcome the dungeon’s challenges and return home? Or, like so many before him, will he become just another forgotten glimmer in the cruel machinery of an unforgiving game?
