The Isekai genre often highlights the fantastical adventures of male protagonists endowed with superhuman strength and surrounded by adoring companions. However, an alternative narrative focuses on the plight of "strays"—individuals transported from Earth who struggle to survive in a hostile environment where they are regarded as mere commodities, goods, or even trash. This perspective challenges the traditional heroic framework by emphasizing themes of vulnerability, exploitation, and resilience. Unlike the empowered heroes who dominate conventional Isekai tales, these strays navigate a world that is indifferent or outright antagonistic to their existence, thereby offering a critical commentary on issues of marginalization and the human condition. This nuanced portrayal underscores the harsh realities and ethical dilemmas faced by those who find themselves displaced and devalued in an unfamiliar and often unforgiving realm.

Their power is unimaginable, and their ambition threatens to plunge the realms into chaos. Tarezuchi’s journey will lead him to uncover his family’s exiled past, face ruthless enemies of unparalleled strength, and forge alliances in a world riddled with greed, hatred, and betrayal. But with every secret revealed, the stakes grow higher, and Tarezuchi must decide: will he embrace his destiny as the forbidden heir, or will the truth destroy him before he can rise? In this epic tale of cultivation, war, and dimensions, the line between hero and villain blurs, and only the strongest will survive.

On an Earth where wars between nations no longer exist, threats like evil organizations, demons, mafias, aliens, giant monsters, and other dangers still roam the planet. Standing against these perils are the Bastions of Society, known as heroes—soldiers trained from adulthood to protect those who cannot defend themselves. These individuals are trained at the "Academy," the planet's only hero school. Among those destined to become our defenders, one boy, who doesn’t even truly know what he is, will fight for his dream on a long journey to the top of it all. What will echo through each battle? His voice, amidst a piercing cry: “TRANSMUTE!!” (Volume 1 of 3) (Attention: This story is part of the "Siglaverse" label.) (The protagonist is not a villain or has gray morality, maybe he will have such morality in the future, but I don't plan on it for now) (Author's Note: While this work takes itself seriously and the plot is meaningful, please know that alongside action and adventure, there’s a strong focus on comedy. Additionally, it draws inspiration not only from Tokusatsu but also from other works outside the genre. Chapters will generally be long, with occasional exceptions. With that said, I hope you enjoy it.)

Marcelo Moreira, a 15-year-old solitary young man, lived an ordinary life, dealing with school routines and his own problems. But everything changes when he and his entire class are summoned to a medieval kingdom with the mission to defeat a terrible demon. What should have been a heroic opportunity turns into a nightmare when the demon invades the summoning ceremony, kills the responsible mage, and possesses all the students, transforming them into deformed monsters with horns. For unknown reasons, Marcelo did not receive any powers during the summoning and, therefore, was the only one who escaped possession. Now, lost in a strange world full of dangers, he must cope with the horror of seeing his classmates — and the girl he likes, Kaori — turned into murderous creatures. Without special abilities, relying only on his determination, Marcelo discovers that there may be a way to free the possessed. But to do so, he will have to face unimaginable dangers, survive in a cruel world, and, above all, find the courage to confront his own fear. With his humanity put to the test, Marcelo embarks on a journey full of challenges and difficult choices. Will he be able to save his friends before it’s too late? Or will he be consumed by the darkness that threatens to destroy everything around him?

Savannah Moretti has enough problems without adding “workplace crush” to the mix. Ryan Hartwell—her annoyingly smug, Greek-god-looking colleague—has been her sworn nemesis since day one. She can deal with his snarky comments, unsolicited advice, and the way his stupid blue eyes seem to see right through her. What she can’t deal with? Her traitorous brain constantly imagining him shirtless. Or, worse, helpful. With her youngest sister’s wedding only a month away, her anxiety skyrockets to new heights at the thought of enduring yet another round of her family’s relentless interrogation about her (nonexistent) love life. Again. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and when Ryan, of all people, offers to be her plus-one for the week-long island wedding, Savannah is too cornered to say no. It’s just one week. A harmless fake-dating arrangement. What’s the worst that could happen? Besides Ryan force-feeding her lobster rolls... or making her question everything she thought she knew about him—and herself?

The Beastlord’s Second Chance Ethan Cross was a legend, a walking nightmare for his enemies, and a self-proclaimed genius of beast taming. By the end of his deeply exhausting career, he’d tamed creatures so powerful that kings avoided making eye contact with him out of fear of being accidentally mauled. His crowning achievement? Defeating the World Devourer, a cosmic garbage disposal capable of eating planets, magic, and your will to live. He sealed it away, saved the world, and heroically died in the process. Or so he thought. Instead of eternal rest or even a pat on the back from the gods, Ethan wakes up in his old, eighteen-year-old body. No wealth, no legendary beasts, and no dignity. Just a moth-eaten shirt, a pair of pants that could sand wood, and Scruff. A pigeon masquerading as a Wind Falcon with the coordination of a drunk squirrel. Turns out, starting over is worse the second time around. The world still revolves around beast taming: kingdoms are built on creature power, social hierarchies are determined by the strength of your companions, and everyone pretends they know what they’re doing. Ethan knows better. He lived through this circus once, and he’s determined to rewrite the script this time. The plan is to gather the most powerful beasts early, stop the rise of future disasters, and definitely avoid the whole “die heroically while saving everyone” thing. The problem? Valeria Drake, an insufferable prodigy with a Dire Wolf and a superiority complex, is still around to ruin his day. Oh, and the World Devourer might not be as sealed as he thought. Armed with an unhealthy amount of sarcasm, and the overwhelming desire to avoid his past mistakes, Ethan is ready to claw his way back to the top. Maybe. Assuming he doesn’t trip over his own hubris or get mauled by something embarrassing like a feral raccoon. Because the world isn’t going to save itself, and this time, Ethan would really like some applause when he’s done, or simply at least a decent pair of pants.

Lion travels through a dangerously high-level martial arts world, locked into a system of exploration. Only by exploring can he become stronger, isn't that right? To gain strength, he must resort to greed, accepting bribes and profiting for himself as a middleman. He becomes a target of ridicule for everyone, hating that he can't kill those who slander him. But behind the scenes, he uses his greed to secretly amass wealth and power, without leaving a trace. One side with a bad reputation, the other side reigning over the world! The Empress, with tears falling silently, speaks her truth: "My love, I yield to you. Come to my palace tonight!" The talented and beautiful women of the court speak out: "My lord, no matter how the world looks at you, I will be with you as your partner in life and death!" The heroic women of the martial world declare: "To fulfill Lion's destiny, we will cross any obstacle!" Others ask in confusion: "He is clearly a despicable person, why are you still protecting him?"

My first work, will definitely have plot holes lol. 21st century guy gets transmigrated into a videogame series. He's not really smart, but he's not dumb as a rock either. He's a little bipolar when it comes to how he should act, flipping from being heroic to miserly back to heroic. The rest can be summed up so: kid becomes mage with the ability to blend in assassins creed style, but will use it for every purpose instead of just becoming a killer, goes to the academy.....

"So, you're telling me I wrestled three cyclopes last night and... won?" Dr. Alexander Matthews, a myth-obsessed professor, never expected his latest research trip to Greece would lead to actually becoming Hercules. After stumbling upon a cursed diary, Alexander wakes up in ancient Greece... only now he’s got bulging muscles, an olive-wood club, and a to-do list that includes slaying the Nemean Lion. His body is built for heroics, but his mind is still very much a coffee-fueled academic. Between dodging centaurs and managing way too many injuries, Alexander struggles to keep his cool. With ancient monsters to fight, divine drama to dodge, and the constant realization that he's really bad at ancient Greek armor, Alexander must somehow survive Hercules' legendary labors — all while trying not to faint from pain... or embarrassment.

In the year 2077, humanity’s dominion over the Earth came to an abrupt end. On a night where the moon failed to rise and the sun disappeared, a mysterious phenomenon ignited an evolutionary leap among animals. Some gained heightened intelligence, and all harbored a deep, primal hatred for the human race. What followed was chaos, as the newly empowered animals claimed dominion over land, sea, and even subterranean realms. Space explorers launched desperate missions to flee the planet, but their fates remain shrouded in mystery. The remnants of humanity retreated into hiding, their survival measured in whispers and shadows. Over the course of millennia, small human enclaves grew into nations, their survival made possible by the creation of Ecliptine, a drug capable of temporarily granting superhuman abilities. However, this power comes at a steep cost: the drug is not universally compatible, its effects last only a week to a month, and repeated use mutates its users in unpredictable and often horrific ways. As humanity struggles to reclaim its place in a world no longer its own, alliances fracture, nations teeter on the brink of collapse, and a new question arises: is the cost of survival worth the price of humanity itself? This is the story of survival, transformation, and resistance in a world forever changed by Eclipsed Genesis.
