How long can one ignore the voices in their head? Nine years. To Mark, that was the limit. For the majority of his life, Mark White has been fighting a constant battle for his sanity. The voices in his head pushed him toward madness one whisper at a time, and the music he used to ward against them was gradually losing its effects. As his mental state slowly deteriorated, Mark spent more of his time working on a game he had been developing and lamenting his lack of romantic experience. One night, the voices dealt him a powerful blow, bringing their battle to an end. To his surprise, Mark won the battle, but that came at a great cost. The voices might have disappeared, but a visual hallucination arrived to replace them, taking the form of a character from his game: Maids VS Apocalypse. Little did he know that the real apocalypse was already coming for him. ========================================= RANK UP CHALLENGE! Extra chapters will be released for each goal achieved!

Fifty years ago, a meteorite struck Earth, unleashing a wave of radiation that changed humanity forever. Mutations spread across the population, gifting some with extraordinary powers. From this chaos emerged six individuals of unparalleled strength, granted the title of "Gods." These powerful beings were each granted a domain—a unique stronghold where other mutants could challenge them for their title. To succeed in slaying a God was to ascend in their place, if successful you are given a special domain of your own. In half a century, only three challengers have claimed a godly title, leaving three of the original Gods still standing. The world remains a fractured and perilous place, dominated by these divine figures and their fiercely contested realms. Banri, an 18-year-old mutant with a fiery determination, has decided to carve his name into history. Tired of a life in the shadows, he sets his sights on dethroning one of the Gods. With his abilities untested against such overwhelming power, Banri embarks on a dangerous journey to rise above all others. The path to godhood is treacherous, but Banri is willing to risk it all to claim his destiny. Will he become a legend—or just another forgotten challenger crushed beneath the might of the Gods?

Synopsis: Title: Shardbreaker Tagline: When the world shattered, power chose the broken. --- The world was once protected by a barrier known as the Veil. Eighty years ago, the Veil shattered, fracturing reality itself and merging Earth with fragments of otherworldly realms called Shards. These Shards brought untold dangers, treasures, and monsters — but also gave rise to Shardbreakers, individuals who wield the chaotic, unpredictable energy of the Aether to control and battle within the Shards. Yun Tae-Hyun, an unremarkable delivery boy, lives in the neon-lit chaos of Seoul, surrounded by Shardbreakers, rogue traders, and monstrous threats. He has no Aether Mark, no special powers — until one fateful day when a Shardstorm strikes, and an immense Shard crashes into him. The forbidden fragment awakens a forbidden power within him: the ability to distort reality itself. But this power comes at a cost. Tae-Hyun’s newfound ability[Distortion Shatterstep and Aetherbind] are wildly unstable and dangerous. As he grapples with the chaos of his abilities, he attracts the attention of both powerful Clades of Shardbreakers hunting him for his Forbidden Shard and monstrous, mind-bending enemies born from the shards. With the Arbiter, a mysterious figure who claims to be the creator of the Veil, pulling the strings, Tae-Hyun must navigate a fractured world, protect his sick sister Ji-Hye, and decide whether to restore the Veil, which would erase all the Shards — and humanity — or embrace his dangerous powers to forge a new world from the remains. Caught between factions, monsters, and his own spiraling descent into chaos, Tae-Hyun must master his Distortion powers before they consume him — or the world will be consumed instead. --- This is a tale of survival, choice, and the unpredictable consequences of wielding immense power. Shardbreaker promises high-stakes, emotionally driven action with mind-bending combat and a menace Mc who must decide whether saving the world is worth losing himself.

He was the police captain of a city branch, he was in the city Bureau special patrol detachment and police station, has been on the front line. Lam's stories are often related to the social background and the changes of The Times. A homicide today may have been caused by another murder 20 years ago, and that tragedy 20 years ago was caused by the social prejudices of the time. What is even more tragic is that behind the seemingly close family relationship is the relationship of mutual use. Some even turned themselves into tools. Ibsen once said, "What you plant in youth, you reap in old age." I think the same applies to Lam's crime. A professor at China Public Security University summed up crimes into two categories, "dangerous personality" and "dangerous mentality." "Dangerous personality" is easy to explain, is the congenital type of criminal personality or childhood psychological development problems. The serial killers I write about all the time, that's the type. As for "heart knot", it is divided into three types: The first is the meaning of the crime, the causes of which are often unthinkable. For example, your classmates always insult you, you prepare for a long time, while they are in the dorm, hammer them to death. Another example is that you hit someone by driving a car, and if you think that there are so many people who are now hit by porcelain, there is a lot of pressure on follow-up medical expenses, and if you directly hit people to death, the loss of money is within the range of bearing. This kind of crime is often accompanied by an irrational thinking, and the mind enters a dead end. The second is knowledge, this crime is often related to cognition, because the price rises, your house downstairs from one dollar to two dollars, you feel that the boss is not rising right, you must overwhelm him through your reason, and he has a dispute. You think he's wrong, and in order to prove your own rationality, you argue more and more violently, and finally kill him. Such crimes often involve arguments, entanglements, and most often issues of paranoia. The third is complex, this kind of crime is rooted in the pain of daily life, such as parents do not love you, say you can not get a wife, relatives and friends hate you, no one to communicate. You will become more and more withdrawn inside, want to revenge society. So you go out into the street and you take a knife and you cut people - the most terrible crime, the most difficult to prevent, but also the one we should be most aware of. But whether it is "meaning knot", "knowledge knot" or "complex", it often originates from a dangerous idea. If we can face up to and try to understand the social influences behind criminal behavior, we may be more rational in the "dark moment" when dangerous thoughts arise.

Riku Tanaka, a 16-year-old high schooler, is known for two things: his passion for baseball and his unmatched intellect. While most of his classmates see him as a natural-born ace pitcher, only a few close friends are aware of his true talent for solving puzzles, cracking codes, and deciphering the most complex of problems. A quiet genius, Riku’s mind thrives on physics, chemistry, and logic, but he has no interest in using these skills for anything other than his love for the game. However, Riku’s life takes an unexpected turn one fateful evening. After a long baseball practice, he stumbles upon a chilling crime scene in the heart of Tokyo. A gruesome murder has occurred, and the police, along with FBI agents, are baffled by the lack of evidence. Despite their best efforts, they can’t find any leads to solve the case. As the media frenzy intensifies, reporters press the head detective for answers. In a moment of inspiration, Riku, observing from the sidelines, casually interrupts and offers a chilling theory: “This isn’t just a murder. It’s a carefully planned message. And I know how to decode it.” The detective, initially skeptical, listens as Riku’s genius shines through. With unparalleled logic and a deep understanding of human psychology and science, he begins to unravel the mystery. His keen mind quickly identifies overlooked clues, and as he pieces together the puzzle, Riku uncovers a network of corruption, deception, and hidden motives far beyond what anyone could imagine. Riku’s involvement in the case grows, and soon, he’s solving murder mysteries, tracking down criminals, and outsmarting the most elusive perpetrators—all while keeping his identity as a high school student a secret.

With each case, Riku not only uncovers hidden truths but also grows as an individual, making it a compelling blend of mystery, intellect, and coming-of-age themes.
