And Then There Was One

What if you were transported to another world? Would you have magic, become a hero, or be corrupted by power? As Christopher Roosevelt relies on his wits to survive among sheer strength and Kaori Tanaka wrestles with the moral dilemmas of overwhelming power, the inhabitants of this world – including a mad mage, Magnus Bridge – pursue ruthless paths to achieve their own goals. A tale of ambition, choices, and the limits of humanity.

In the human territories of Avelion, where power and survival hinge on mastery of mana, talent is a rare and treasured gift. Those with exceptional skill can rise above the status of ordinary citizens, wielding influence and securing a future within a world fraught with political intrigue and endless conflict. But for our main hero, Kail, this path was abruptly severed. After a devastating incident that took his right hand and leg, he lost more than his physical abilities; he lost the support of his clan—an essential foundation in a society where alliances often determine survival. Once surrounded by strength and guidance, Kail now faces a life stripped of both his place in the clan and the loyalty of the one person he relied on most. Alone in a realm governed by mana-wielding elites, Kail must rebuild his life from scratch. Follow his journey as he learns to adapt, reclaim his strength, and navigate a dangerous world, restoring himself to face the challenges of each new day.

No, I wasn’t reincarnated, and honestly, if I had been, I’d rather not have been. I’m a larger man... okay, let’s not sugarcoat it—I’m kinda chubby. Blame my parents for spoiling me rotten as a kid. I had a younger brother, Louis, who I used to bully, but, uh... I killed him. Long story. Before all that drama, I was a Doctor of Magical Engineering. Then came the prison stint—because, you know, the usual evil villain schtick: kidnapping a princess, taunting her friends, and trying to force a wedding. Before that little escapade, I lived in the human kingdom of Magder. Anyway, now I’m fresh out of prison, shipped off to Tabnoth. Apparently, Vistor thinks throwing all the world’s rejects into one place is a genius plan. But hey, I’m not complaining. As long as this place has a good deli, I’m set.

The world of wyverns has always had a very strict social pyramid, and for centuries Alex Conrad's family has been at the top in England. They even founded a school so they could keep their children away from humans and wyverns deemed to be less worthy. But ever since Alex was a kid, the pyramid has been slowly crumbling, and now for the first time, their doors will be open to wyverns from all social backgrounds. Plenty of upper-class families are less than thrilled with the Conrads' decision, and almost all of the new students harbour hostility toward the ones who have looked down on them for so long. Especially Alex's new flatmate, a boy named Matthew Montoya, who is determined to prove a point by making Alex's life as miserable as he can manage. Things take a turn when the tension on campus claims a student's life and the two have to decide if they're going to let the tragedy bring them together or rip them further apart.

Young or old, poor or rich, there's always a place people are rushing to. This is the only way I can discern who is alive and who is not. The dead never rushes. Spirits are never late for anything. Nakijima Iori has always been a bit special, or more abnormal. He has always been able to see ghosts...not the friendly ones. Spending most of his life in a temple in Osaka, he decided to move to Tokyo to pursue a degree in Management and to leave his past behind. Little did he know a small accident on the bus would lead him into the arms of Huang Yushi, the lead detective for the Tokyo Special Unit and another person who can see ghosts. Huang Yushi, known as Hound Chief, has been the lead detective in the Tokyo Special Unit for the last 6 years. His team deals with "special" cases that many would believe as abnormal or unreal. Little did he know in his next mission a cute little spitfire would fall into his arm and turn his structured world upside down. Solving cases together, and learning about each other's past, they both need to learn how to accept each other's differences. Who knows, as time passes, there could be more than friendship between these two.
