Haruki Murakami Top

it's common knowledge that being alone can drive someone insane, but have you thought of what the opposite can do to you?

Haruki Tenma is the kind of boy no one ever notices twice. Calm, quiet, and a little too good at staying invisible. His only real passion? Capturing fleeting moments through the lens of his camera. Miyako Hanabira is the girl everyone notices. Loud, stylish, unpredictable and way out of Haruki’s league. She’s the type who goes viral without trying and laughs in the face of rules. To her, Haruki was just a "safe friend" the background guy with a good heart and no game. Until one accidental photo submission... turns into a national contest win. And that photo? A cosplay shot of Miyako so perfect, so romantic, it gets them entered into a government-sponsored symbolic youth marriage program. Now they’re **secretly married**. Legally? Yes. Emotionally? Absolutely not. Romantically? …Well, that’s complicated. To avoid a scandal, the two agree to fake nothing, feel nothing, and just wait it out until graduation. But as they share mornings, dinners, house chores, festivals, and after-practice walks under cherry blossoms—something fragile and real starts to bloom between them. They’re not dating. They’re just married. So why does it feel like love?

He was once the most revered Celestial Master in the immortal realm — exorcising demons, commanding respect, and bearing the heavy weight of a sect leader. But betrayal threw him into a sacrificial array, his body shattered as he sealed the Gate of Infernal Flames with his own soul. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a strange yet vibrant modern world — brimming with spiritual energy and dazzling technology. No one here knew his name, no one here demanded his strength. Finally, he could shed his cold, stern façade and just be… himself: a little vain, a little quirky, and secretly longing for warmth. But then came him. Leander Ashcroft — silver-haired, silver-eyed, graceful and dangerous all at once. The young and powerful head of the Ashcroft family, who wore a gentle smile yet ruled his world with ruthless precision. And from the moment their eyes met, he caged him in a tender yet unrelenting embrace. “Mr. Han… I can be very patient with you.” “You don’t have to run anymore. You don’t have to fight alone. This time, let me protect you.” What began as a wary partnership slowly turned into something deeper, sweeter — a love that disarmed his guarded heart. Even as darkness stirred again and greedy eyes coveted his blood and power, only one man stood steadfast by his side. “The world may want your strength and your life. But the only thing I want… is you.”

After a decade of clawing through brutal Gates, top Ranker Ace Avalanche finally storms Heaven’s Gate—only to learn Earth’s apocalypse was just the tutorial. He cashes in his one wish and wakes in his broke teenage body, three months before the first Gate descends. The multiverse blocks every active skill and seals his heart, yet the System still flags him as a Ranker. Exploiting that loophole, Ace quietly stacks passive skills like Attack Speed, Critical Strike, Lifesteal, and more while the world marches blind toward its first apocalypse.

"What’s the point of love when all it does is break you?" I’ve asked myself this a thousand times. I’ve been carved open by betrayal, hollowed out by empty promises, and left to stitch myself back together, only to be torn apart again. Love isn’t beautiful. It’s a wound that never fully heals, a scar that throbs when you least expect it. So I shut the door. Swore I’d never let it in again. No more whispered lies in the dark. I was free. But the universe doesn’t care about what I think or feel. Just when I thought I’d outsmarted the pain, it found me not in the way I expected, but worse. So much worse. And now, drowning in a grief I never saw coming, I have to ask myself one last time: Was love ever the enemy? Or was it the only thing that could have saved me? —— After a devastating heartbreak and a near-fatal accident, Eleanor’s life takes an unexpected turn when she begins experiencing unnatural abilities. things no ordinary human should be capable of.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

Standing atop the battlefield of Asuras, the demoness was none other than his former wife. —— Introduction Two: Above the temple halls, beneath the rivers and lakes, where the world of humans and demons divide, along the righteous and evil paths, countless charismatic individuals weave lives full of fireworks, unable to exhaust the tales of snow, moon, wind, and flowers. Kings and generals, peddlers and pawnbrokers, scholars and swordsmen, fiends and phantoms, they are all but pages in a book—each of varying thickness, some with twists and turns, others dull and ordinary, filled with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, or a mix of good and evil, with causes and effects unending. And the book of Jiang Shouzhong's life is undoubtedly the most captivating of all. ——

Leon Thorne was the disgrace of his house, overweight, softspoken, and dismissed as a failure before he ever picked up a sword. Mocked during the Awakening and branded an F-rank, he was expected to fade quietly from the halls of power. But he didn’t. Because this wasn’t his first life. In another timeline, Leon watched House Thorne fall, shamed, scattered and erased from history. Powerless to stop it then, he’s been given one chance to rewrite it now. Stripped of excuses and reshaped by hardship, Leon claws his way forward—through blood, sweat and silence. Now, leaner and sharper, he enters an academy where only strength speaks and legacy decides your worth. But Leon carries no crest. No backing. Just scars, a sword, and the will to shatter fate itself. He’s not looking to be acknowledged or praised. He’s going to rewrite everything. NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES.

But when the nation’s most dangerous villain escapes after fifteen years, Haruki puts on the mask... and steps into a storm no one else could survive. Now hailed as a savior, the world cheers his name— though they don’t know who he really is... or what it cost him to win. With a power that shifts between light and darkness, and a past that won’t stay buried, Haruki begins to walk the fragile line between what’s right, what’s expected... and what feels human. A story of masks, choices, and the silence that follows victory. Note: This novel is translated from an original Arabic work, by the same author.

He had been in love with Satomi since high school, and after years of struggling together, they finally built a stable life. But stability came with a price. Satomi was always busy. Work became her priority, and Haruki… was left behind. The warmth of their relationship faded, and intimacy became a distant memory. Nights felt colder, the bed emptier—even when she was right beside him. Loneliness gnawed at him. Then everything changed when Satomi’s family invited him to stay at their luxurious home. That was the first time he truly saw her mother. Kyouko. Beautiful. Elegant. Younger-looking than her own daughter. And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something awaken inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls cross paths. And as Haruki struggles with his emotions, one question lingers in his mind: What happens when the one who understands you most… is the one you should never desire?

Hiroshi's smile, scent, deep soothing voice, warmth of his embrace... "This is not what I want." "This cannot be what I need. There's no way I'm going to be weak! I'm the chairman, and I can't afford to be weak." "I will never fall in love, never be weak... ever again." "I need him to leave my life, I don't care about him, I never did."

A broken home. A mother who bled quietly for her family.

Will he rise above the challenges and discover the hero that lies dormant within, or will he remain just another face in the crowd?

[2022 Best Newcomer Award Nomination] [No. 1 Bestseller in the 10th Sci-Fi Starlight Awards] [First Prize in the 2022 Sci-Fi Writing Contest] Saviors are ranked in different classes. An unranked savior is inefficient, taking years or even decades to save the world, leaving countless people to suffer in the meantime, and in the end, they might not even succeed. A third-rate savior is manipulated by conspirators throughout their life, ignorant and controlled like a puppet in someone else’s hands. A second-rate savior sacrifices greatly to save the world, enduring the death of a spouse, disability, the loss of close friends, and other hardships, only to gain an empty reputation or a gravestone epitaph. “Those saviors all have it too hard. I don’t want to be like them. I want to be a first-class savior!” “You ask me, what is a first-class savior?” “Saving the world at light speed!” “No casualties!” “Profiting wildly!” “Using the sword of the present to slay the future before it arrives, snuffing out the apocalypse in its cradle, acting entirely on my own will, and reaping the rewards I deserve!” “That’s what it means to be a first-class savior!” Stellar voyages, space-time travel, mechanical technology—the goal is the vast and unknown sea of stars!
