Outliers

I once thought myself an outlier, only to learn of the existence of beings known as the "extraordinary." Yet, even among them, I found no place to belong. If my suspicions are correct, I am likely a zombie—a particularly benevolent one. I have no desire to gnaw on others; all I wish is to live peacefully. How I yearn to be a normal person! Hmm? The Revolt of Jiashen? The Eight Miraculous Skills? I've heard these might hold the key to restoring my humanity. Humans! Hand them over at once! Or else—I'll teach you a lesson you'll never forget!

To his now-ex-girlfriend Rose, he was nothing more than a stepping stone for academic success. "Arnold, you’re just a tool. You’ll never belong in the world of the powerful," she told him as she shattered his heart and pride. But Arnold Sinclair is far more than he appears. Unknown to everyone, he is the sole heir to the Sinclair dynasty—the wealthiest and most influential family in the world.

Now, his trial is ending, and the shackles of anonymity are breaking. Armed with unmatched resources, intelligence, and a newfound resilience forged in hardship, Arnold is ready to reclaim his name, his pride, and his place in the world. But wealth and power come with their own challenges, and as Arnold reenters the elite world, he must navigate not only old betrayals but also new enemies who fear the rise of a Sinclair.

Vyn, born into the legendary Aethelred family, was a stark outlier in a lineage famed across the Southern Continent Empire for its near-mythical strength and nobility.

In a world ruled by strength, his lack of magical abilities rendered him nearly invisible.

After two relentless years fighting beasts and despair, an unimaginable twist occurred. At his lowest, a mysterious ‘System’ appeared, spouting utter nonsense.

One of the biggest tonal outliers on this list, Susan Hill’s The Woman in Black is crafted like a traditional gothic novel, and could likely fool readers into thinking that Hill is a few hundred years older than she truly is. Published in 1983, The Woman in Black is best known today for inspiring one of the longest-running plays in London’s West End (and a Daniel Radcliffe movie). Structured in the classic British form of a story told around a fireplace, Hill’s short ‘80s anachronism chills thanks to its ominous titular figure, who stalks a house on the foggy moors and foretells the death of children. The Woman in Black may not feel like a quintessentially ‘80s horror novel, but it’s an excellent reminder that, even at the peak of its copycat boom period, the genre refused to be pigeonholed.

The Arc Alliance, which uses a type of energy developed from magic, to power all sorts of technological marvels.

The two factions are currently at war with each other, and have been so for three hundred years. However, both sides have agreed to certain rules, so fighting is contained in a contained area known as the War Belt. It is on an Alliance controlled planet within the War Belt, where the main character lives. Mordred is a young woman in her early twenties, who works as a mercenary. As she was abandoned as a child and forced to live on the streets, along with the planet she is on, Outlier, is a very impoverished planet, there was little other work she was able to do. She also has another reason for being a mercenary, and that is to find her father who disappeared seventeen years ago. After a complicated mission, Mordred finds herself entangled in the schemes of forces much larger, and more powerful than she could possibly imagine. Along the way, she does encounter many allies, but the lines between friend and foe start to blend, as things are not exactly what they seem. Mordred is faced with many challenges, and will be forced to confront herself, along with the reality she resides within. As the drums of war grow louder, and tensions start to rise, Mordred will be forced to make a decision that will affect everything she knows.

In a world where, unbeknownst to most of Earth's population, people with special powers exist, known as Meta-Humans. Such people belong to one of two opposing organizations. The first, known as Harmony, aims to coexist with regular society and protect them from superhuman or supernatural threats while remaining in the shadows. The second, known as Eden, aims to overthrow regular human society and establish a world where the super-powered reign supreme. These two opposing sides have been fighting for centuries, with countless conflicts scattered throughout history. The power balance between the two had remained even for a long time, and in order to tip the scales in their favor, Harmony began a certain project...the creation of nine orbs made using pure, natural power, known as Meta-Orbs. These orbs can grant a person unimaginable power, but right as the creation of these objects is completed, a conflict results in all nine Meta-Orbs being scattered throughout the world...and anyone who comes across them will gain immense power, even normal humans, therefore giving rise to the world's first unnatural Meta-Humans. And so, this ensues a vicious scramble between Eden and Harmony, as both sides look to find the people that come across the Meta-Orbs and take them into custody. These artificially-induced unnatural Meta-Humans are labeled as 'Outliers', and in the span of a few days, all of them have their lives irreversibly changed. Whether this change is for the better or worse, remains to be seen...

Everyone is born with a chance to do something extraordinary with their life. Regrettably, not everyone realizes this soon enough to reach their happy ending.

A rat, that is what I am. Well, to be exact I'm a man rat. an abomination of untold proportions, a deviant to the beauty of mother nature. Born to inhabit the dirtiest of sewers and the deepest of holes. To hide away beneath the dirt only leaving to hunt down some of the weaker prey.  That is the race I was born into. The weakest of the weak, a fetid and miserable group whose hatred for one another is only beaten by our immense dislike for Goblins. Those scummy little green trash.  But me, I am an outlier to this, an anomaly of sorts. For I was not born a brainless buffoon who can only feel hatred and hunger. I was born intelligent.

An outlier who hides in the security team, a scum who joins a wealthy family, and an outlier who becomes a big boss when he takes off his vest.

Usually, stories that take place in ancient China fall into 3 categories: 1. (Female Lead) A 21st-century top-notch assassin somehow meets an end and is transported into the body of a useless good-for-nothing miss, then strives to work hard to help this miss achieve greatness. 2. (Male Lead) An almost, or already is, martial artist immortal dies, gets backstabbed, or just loses his power either time-travels to an earlier version of themselves or claims a new and young body altogether or gets justice for himself, people dear to him, and his followers. 3. And outliers. This story is one of those outliers. The telling of a wicked pair of lovers whose shenanigans knows no bound. (This is an original story and not a translation.)

What is this!? What's going on!? Where am I!? Will somebody answer me!? How?! How could I be back here?! (Urban, Time distortion. - Notice, this world isn't a fantasy world, it's a normal world aside from a few outliers)(Title is supposed to be a play on distorted text)
