The Arcane Gear - Rebirth of the Lazy Mechanic

In a world where women hold power and men are rare, a boy wakes up alone in the depths of one of the most dangerous forests. He has memories—some hazy, some painfully clear. Memories of a life before, where he had once been an energetic boy, a budding mechanical engineer, before tragedy drained all color from his world. Now, he is twelve again, orphaned once more, surviving off berries and instinct, waiting for parents he knows will never return. But fate does not let him stay forgotten. One night, an injured group of adventurers stumbles into his quiet existence. Unbeknownst to him, they are no ordinary travelers—they are a princess and her elite soldiers, wounded after a deadly battle against a notorious criminal. When they seek shelter in his fragile hut, he reluctantly offers them aid—not out of kindness, but because he knows all too well the pain of losing people. What starts as a simple act of charity turns into something more. As they recover, the women begin to question the strange boy who lives alone in the deadly wilderness. His words, his habits, his view of the world—nothing about him fits his age. And when they witness his quiet sorrow, the way he cries in his sleep, they begin to wonder... Who is he, really? And more importantly—can they convince him to leave before this forest swallows him whole? A tale of second chances, reluctant bonds, and a boy who has lost too much, set in a world where survival is never guaranteed.

The Day I Defied Extinction

Imagine you survived an asteroid impact—one that was supposed to wipe out humanity. The world you once knew is gone, reduced to fire, ruin, and silence. The streets that once bustled with life are now nothing more than graveyards of the past. You are one of the few left breathing, but survival is no victory. Nero never expected to live through the end of the world. A college student with nothing but shattered dreams, he wakes up buried beneath the wreckage of Manila, his body broken but alive. As he struggles to navigate the wasteland, he soon realizes that the asteroid carried more than destruction. A strange, pulsating purple substance seeps into the earth—killing some, but transforming others. Those who survive its touch gain abilities beyond human limits. Some call it a miracle. Others, a curse. But the real nightmare has just begun. With resources dwindling and desperation turning survivors against each other, Nero and his group are forced to leave their homeland, journeying to Korea in search of a future. What they find instead is a world teetering on the brink of something far worse than extinction. And when they uncover a massive dome in the heart of the United States—housing thousands of untouched, surviving humans—they believe they’ve found salvation. They were wrong. Inside the dome, society thrives, but at a terrible cost. To its people, those exposed to the purple substance are no longer human. They are abominations. Freaks. Unworthy of survival. But Nero refuses to accept their judgment. He did not defy extinction just to kneel. And if the world cannot accept what he has become… then he will carve a new future from its ashes.
