Otaku Grind: Rise of the Reluctant Hero

Kai, an unmotivated Otaku, spends his days and nights lost in the world of anime, barely connecting with reality. His latest obsession, Eldren’s Wrath, is a dark fantasy series that explores themes of power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world of fearsome creatures and relentless warriors. One fateful night, he dies unexpectedly while halfway through the series, only to awaken in its universe—reincarnated as a lowly, unremarkable NPC merchant in a rugged, hostile village on the outskirts of civilization. It doesn’t take long for Kai to realize he’s hopelessly out of place. Surrounded by adventurers, knights, and monsters straight from Eldren’s Wrath, he knows his days are numbered unless he finds a way to gain strength quickly. Just when despair sets in, a mysterious System activates, presenting him with a harsh ultimatum: level up every day or face relentless penalties. The penalties range from losing his meager resources to physical punishments, with each missed requirement bringing him closer to a permanent death. Reluctantly forced into grueling training regimens, Kai must now engage in daily quests, battle deadly creatures, and learn combat techniques. As he grows, he discovers that the System tracks his achievements through "Protagonist Points," hinting that if he collects enough, he may unlock the rare “Protagonist Rank.” Reaching this rank is the key to returning to his original world, but it requires him to embrace challenges worthy of a hero. Twist: Every action Kai takes towards becoming a hero brings him closer to the fate of the series’ true protagonist, with whom he shares a mysterious connection. To truly earn his “Protagonist Rank,” Kai must not only surpass the original hero of Eldren’s Wrath but also unravel a prophecy that foresees a dark force linked to his past life. As his abilities grow, so do his responsibilities, ultimately pushing Kai to confront his deepest fears, forge alliances, and embrace his role in a world he once dismissed as fantasy. Now, his lazy days are behind him as he battles for survival, allies, and the ultimate prize: a way back home. But will he still want to return when the time comes, or will he find a reason to stay in this world he once admired from afar?

Ascendant Hero: Rebirth of the Limitbreaker

In a world where humanity is on the brink of collapse, society is governed by the Awakened—humans who have unlocked supernatural abilities and rise through ranks of power by defeating monsters in dungeons. The dungeons appeared mysteriously decades ago, bringing with them dangerous creatures that now threaten the survival of the world. The Awakened are society's only line of defense, but the system of power is corrupt, and the strongest hoard their abilities, controlling the flow of resources and status. At the center of this world is Jin Woo, an 18-year-old boy who, unlike his peers, never manifested any powers. Growing up in the slums, Jin Woo struggles to survive, enduring both the hardships of poverty and the scorn of a society that places value only on power. His one solace is his strong sense of justice, instilled in him by his late father, a former Awakened hero who mysteriously disappeared after a major battle. Jin Woo has spent his life studying the dungeons and training his body, in hopes that one day he could stand among the Awakened, despite being ordinary. Jin Woo’s life changes when he is killed in a surprise attack by a monster swarm in an illegal dungeon. In his final moments, Jin Woo curses the world’s unfairness, wishing for a chance to change his fate. His wish is granted when a mysterious entity known as The System offers him the chance to be “reborn.” The System gives him the unique ability to break free of the traditional leveling system, allowing him to surpass the limits of ordinary Awakened by continuously evolving without restrictions. Resurrected with newfound power, Jin Woo sets out on a quest to not only rise through the ranks of the Awakened but to challenge the very foundation of the corrupted system that controls them. Along the way, he forms bonds with a group of unlikely allies: Hana, a brilliant but mysterious mage whose magical potential was stunted by a hidden curse; Kaito, a former elite fighter who turned rogue after discovering the dark secrets of the Awakened; and Lina, an archer from a noble family who rebels against her own kin to fight for what’s right. Together, they uncover a deeper conspiracy involving the origin of the dungeons and the true purpose of the monsters. As Jin Woo pushes past the boundaries of strength and ability, he must contend not only with increasingly powerful enemies but also with the dangerous effects of The System on his mind and body. The more power he gains, the more he risks losing his humanity. Torn between his desire to protect those he loves and the temptation to wield absolute power, Jin Woo faces the ultimate choice: Will he become the hero the world needs, or will he fall victim to the very forces he seeks to destroy? In Ascendant Hero: Rebirth of the Limitbreaker, themes of power, corruption, and the human spirit intertwine in an epic tale of survival and self-discovery in a world where the greatest danger may not be the monsters, but the very system built to fight them.

A Fraud as Hero and A Hero as Demon Lord: A Twisted Tale

[WPC August Entry 2024] "Erik, you committed a serious crime by plagiarizing a man's work," declared the God. "There are millions of criminals committing worse crimes than mine. Why am I being punished?" Erik retorted. "Because you stole a novel from a man who used to be a hero and died protecting the planet." --- "Hello, fraud. Live in a world as me, the pathetic hero you described, and I will be your greatest adversary, the demon lord," Rome proclaimed with a chilling smile. In this novel, Erik is reborn as the hero of the stolen tale, but the demon lord Rome and the Gods won't allow him a moment's peace. Because who wouldn't? Erik stole a novel from Rome, God's favored child. He plagiarized it, catapulting himself to the position of the world's top novelist while Rome spiraled into despair, ultimately ending his own life. For Rome, the novel wasn't just a collection of words. It was a universe where he had lived through triumph and sacrifice, where every character and plot twist had been a part of his own existence. As a former hero, Rome made a wish to the Gods. He yearned to be reborn as the demon lord in the same world where he had met his end at the hands of the demon lord, with Erik reincarnated as the hero destined to fall by the demon lord's hand. Will Erik defy fate and evade the clutches of the demon lord, or will Rome exact his revenge? Or perhaps, something even more monumental is about to unfold? ---- **Disclaimer:** This novel is a work of fiction and is not based on any real individuals or events. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental. It is not intended to offend or attack anyone. I deeply apologize if any content is perceived as offensive.
