This book’s full title is: “Murderous AI: That Time I Got Kidnapped to the Future and My Suit Solves Everything With Explosions” Christopher “Chris” Cross never expected much from his night out in Chicago—until he picked up a pair of sleek, high-tech sunglasses in an old gaming lounge. One bad decision later, he finds himself kidnapped into the distant future, permanently bonded to a sentient A.I. battle suit with an unhealthy obsession with destruction. Now stranded in a world where humanity rules the stars, corporate-backed militaries wage endless wars, and advanced technology is as dangerous as the people who wield it, Chris has a few pressing concerns: • He has no way back home, and his new A.I. co-pilot thinks ‘diplomacy’ is just another word for ‘missile strike’. • The suit he’s wearing is an outdated experimental relic, but somehow, it’s more advanced than anything in this era. • R.A.G.E. wants to solve every problem with overwhelming firepower and keeps offering unsolicited ‘explosion-based’ solutions to everyday situations. • By sheer accident, Chris prevents the assassination of a high-ranking military official, putting himself on the radar of powerful factions—and making enemies he didn’t ask for. With shadowy organizations watching him, dangerous figures hunting him, and an A.I. constantly trying to escalate every situation into a full-scale war, Chris has no choice but to adapt—or die trying. But in a galaxy where power determines survival, he’s quickly learning that controlling R.A.G.E. isn’t just about keeping himself alive. It might just decide the future itself. *** This work will be participating in the 2025 Spirity Awards. Upload schedule: Every Tuesday and Wednesday with a minimum of 4ch/week (I’m a working man.

Born in chains. Trained to kill. Left to die. Mae-Bi was the lowest of the Demonic Cult’s assassins — a cursed tool, leashed by the Blood Blade Lord and forced to serve. He was nothing more than a weapon, one heartbeat away from death. Then came the mission that changed everything. Sent to kill a man even the Cult feared, Mae-Bi failed — and died. But death didn’t take him. The man he tried to assassinate gave him something worse: a second chance And a system. Mae-Bi wakes up in his eighteen-year-old body with a system in his head and decades of blood-soaked memory. The cult still lives. The cursed centipede still twists in his chest. But this time? He’s not their hound. He’s the blade at their throat. Also to clarify upfront: No romance. No harem. Just martial bloodshed, betrayal, and survival. This is Murim at its most brutal. And revenge is only the beginning.

> "What if you woke up with no name, no memory—and a voice in your head whispering that you killed someone?" A man wakes up in a decaying apartment with no identity and no face in the mirror. His throat burns like it’s been strangled, and the only clue to who he is lies in a half-burnt photograph of a woman he doesn't recognize. Scrawled on the back are five chilling words: "You chose to forget her." As he wanders through a rain-soaked city twisted by shadows, strangers call him by different names. Some fear him. Others pity him. But no one knows the truth—not even him. Haunted by hallucinations, fragmented dreams, and the constant pressure of a hand he cannot see on his throat, he begins to unravel a trail of clues that lead to a murder... and possibly a version of himself he doesn't want to meet. Is he a killer running from guilt—or a pawn in someone else’s game of revenge and memory? In a city where mirrors lie and the past rewrites itself, uncovering the truth may cost him more than his mind.

At just five years old, Kisimoto Sasukan was thrust into a nightmare when a tragic water-related accident claimed his father's life. Left alone in a whirlwind of confusion and grief, he found himself in the hands of a reporter seeking a heartbreaking interview. The vulnerability of his small frame contrasted sharply with the daunting questions of the adult world around him, until his desperate mother and sister finally burst through the chaos, their faces etched with worry and sorrow. As the years rolled by, the shadows of their past loomed larger, and at the age of twenty-three, Kisimoto and his family became victims of a sinister and elusive NGO. Snatched from their lives, they were thrust into a dark reality where they were held hostage, mere pawns in a game cloaked in secrecy. The menacing threats of execution were delivered with cold precision, but the true horrors lay in the inhumane experiments that turned their bodies into grotesque test subjects. Surrounded by forty others from distant corners of the globe, their humanity was stripped away, reduced to mere data points in a twisted scientific narrative. Then, in an act of sheer will and desperation, Kisimoto achieved the extraordinary—he escaped, dragging his mother and sister into the light of freedom. Yet, the scars left by the torment were far deeper than he had anticipated. As the relentless search for the vanished subjects intensified across various networks, Kisimoto stumbled upon a chilling revelation. He realized he had changed beyond comprehension. He felt different… And he was resolved to break free from their sinister grasp. The search for truth was only beginning. [EDIT: SORRY! IT HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED ON WEBNOVEL!

Bladebound – Full Story Synopsis In the fractured world of Valmera, five powerful kingdoms rule with steel, gold, and fear. Beneath the illusion of peace, corruption festers, ancient magic stirs, and secrets long buried threaten to resurface. Once a loyal soldier of the Veyron army, Kael Draven was known for his unwavering discipline and skill with the blade. But when his family is slaughtered under mysterious orders from within his own command, Kael is branded a traitor and forced to flee the only life he knew. Haunted by the past and bound to a cursed sword once wielded by the legendary warlord Valek the Unbroken, Kael wanders the wilds of Valmera, seeking vengeance against the five who conspired in his family’s murder. Each of them now holds immense power in their respective kingdoms, shielded by armies, magic, and lies. But Kael is no longer the man he once was—he is Bladebound, fused with a weapon that feeds on blood and remembers every kill. As Kael carves a bloody path through Valmera’s tyrants, he uncovers a deeper conspiracy: the rise of the Order of Ashen Flame, a forgotten cult bent on resurrecting an ancient entity that once brought the world to its knees. The same cult that cursed his blade—and killed his family to silence its true legacy. Joined by unlikely allies—a rogue Arkanis mage, a disillusioned princess turned rebel, and an exiled warrior monk—Kael must navigate a web of betrayal, forbidden magic, and his own growing rage. Every strike brings him closer to vengeance… but also to losing what little humanity he has left. In the final act, Kael will face a brutal choice: fulfill his revenge and let the darkness consume him, or break the curse, destroy the cult, and finally forge his own destiny—not as a weapon of wrath, but as a warrior of redemption.
