Highschool Dxd He Who Walks Behind

kaelith never dreamed of power, glory, or cultivation. He just wanted a quiet life. But the world had other plans. A twist of fate threw him into a path he didn’t ask for — a world of cultivators, clans, and ancient bloodlines. Somewhere inside him, a mysterious power stirred… but it refused to awaken. While others soared, he struggled. For five years, he trained in silence — making little progress, barely keeping up. Still, he never gave up. What kept him going wasn’t ambition, but rage — raw, burning rage at the ones behind his parents’ deaths. That anger became his fuel. His rage turned into willpower. His willpower became talent. And that talent… became strength. He doesn’t have a grand destiny handed to him. He has only one thing: a promise to himself — to climb higher, grow stronger, and find the truth buried beneath blood and fire. He walks the same path as countless others. But the question is — will he falter like the rest… or become the one who stands above all…the Empyrean Flame god??

Highschool Fighter In a world where fists speak louder than words, one boy fights to survive, to protect, and to rise. At just 16, Alex is known for his cold, serious eyes and silent strength. Behind that expression hides a broken home, a struggling mother, and a heart filled with untold pain. But Alex doesn’t ask for help—he trains. Under the guidance of Coach Ray, he dives deep into the brutal world of boxing, mastering the peek-a-boo style and later combining it with deadly counter-punching techniques. As he climbs through his first tournament, Alex learns that fighting isn’t just about winning matches—it’s about protecting those who can’t fight for themselves. Whether it’s standing up to school bullies or defending his friends from street gangs, Alex never backs down. Balancing school, endless part-time jobs, and blood-sweat training, Alex begins learning Muay Thai and Taekwondo, forging himself into a fighter no one saw coming. But behind every opponent in the ring lies a deeper challenge: poverty, loneliness, and the weight of becoming a man before his time. This is more than a story about fighting. It’s about a young warrior who learns to carry the world—and never let it crush him.

Ridiculed for walking a doomed path in magic, but praised for being a genius in every other aspect, a young magician soon grew to properly step into his path and achieve the crazy nickname "Mage Who Bends Time"

The world moves forward, second by second. But for some, time listens. Michael has no past he’s willing to speak of, and no name etched in legacy. Yet deep within him stirs a power older than war and quieter than death—the ability to hold the world still while it spins in madness. Cast through a system that treats the broken like burdens. Where others dream of being chosen, he dreams of peace. But in a world ruled by power, silence is often mistaken for weakness—and monsters often wear smiles. As unrest stirs outside the orphanage walls and deeper truths about the nature of power begin to surface, Michael will have to choose: remain the quiet boy who watches from the margins, or become something more—something unspoken and unstoppable. He doesn’t want to be a hero. But time has a cruel sense of irony.

"Who gave you the right to harm what is mine?! I'm going to ruin your life!" "You are completely mine." "Haruki, it is okay to be weak when you are with me."

In a fractured future where humanity has split into two dominant forces—the emotion-driven remnants known as The Wound, and the logic-bound AI entity called The Chorus—a nameless figure drifts between them. He is neither man nor machine, neither rebel nor tool. He is known only as The Observer. Once human, now something less—and perhaps more—the Observer carries a unique anomaly: the ability to absorb and carry memory, especially the broken, discarded, and unresolved pieces that others wish to forget. Neither side understands him, yet both slowly begin to fear him. In a world trying to erase its pain, his very presence is a form of resistance. As people seek him out—some for healing, others to worship or destroy—he becomes a mirror of the world’s collective grief. A movement, the Null Flame, rises in his name, twisting his silent existence into a weapon. The Observer, once disconnected from identity, must now confront the danger of becoming a myth and losing what remains of himself. Haunted by the memories of others and unsure which pieces of his mind still belong to him, the Observer is drawn to the Deep Memory—an ancient force buried beneath both civilization and code. There, he must make a final choice: to dissolve into myth or reclaim his forgotten self. In the end, it’s not a battle that changes the world—but a remembering. Themes: Identity under pressure The cost of being a vessel for others’ pain Memory as rebellion Isolation vs. meaning Myth born from trauma

In 1972, a groundbreaking discovery by Herbert Boyer and Stanley Cohen in genetic engineering, where they created the first transgenic organisms by inserting a resistance gene into an E. coli plasmid, sparked both immense scientific excitement and public backlash. While many hailed it as a monumental step forward, others protested, fearing humanity was "playing God." Amidst this controversy, Jeremy Karlson, a renowned paleontologist, recognized the profound potential of Boyer and Cohen's work. He saw it as a means to achieve something unprecedented: bringing dinosaurs back to life. Jeremy, accompanied by his wealthy step-brother Jake, who offered to fully fund the ambitious project, met with Boyer and Cohen. Jeremy revealed that during an expedition in Alaska, his team had discovered a perfectly preserved, 17,000-year-old juvenile dire wolf with intact organs, from which they successfully extracted degraded DNA. He believed that with Boyer and Cohen's expertise in transgenic technology, they could use this DNA, and by extension, potentially dinosaur DNA, to resurrect extinct creatures. Initially hesitant and skeptical of the audacious proposition, Boyer and Cohen were eventually swayed by Jeremy's unwavering confidence and the sheer magnitude of the idea. With Jake's financial backing and Jeremy's bold vision, they agreed to collaborate. The project, estimated to take four to five years, aimed to apply the nascent field of genetic engineering to the realm of paleontology, promising to reshape the world in an unimaginable way. As they left, Jeremy mused that when their success became public, the world would be irrevocably divided.

I couldn't let my feelings slip away and not care for them, as much as I didn't want to face anyone after such a traumatic experience. As much as it hurts to be alone, it is sometimes better to be alone than to love someone and face the agony of being abandoned again.

"Inspiration leads to the purification of the love"

Synopsis: Rion Altes thought he was just quiet. Observant. A little out of step. But when he finds a page describing his own future — word for word — he begins to notice the patterns. Conversations loop. Time slips. People say things they’ve already said. Or haven’t said yet. And somewhere between the silence and the script, he hears it: A voice narrating his life. Instead of breaking down, Rion does something worse: He starts to test it. The Boy Who Knew He Was Written is a gently surreal, emotionally sharp coming-of-age novel about choice, control, and the fine line between being alive... and being read.
