THE RISE BEYOND THE SHADOW

[OVERCLOCK]!! Life as a low class slumdog was all that Adelaide had. With his days spent scavenging in the toxic waste zone, and the nights spent sleeping under the creaking towers of high-tech junk. His life changed on the day he found a strange, lifeless crystal buried beneath piles of junk. The crystal was anything but ordinary. One pulse of energy and Adelaide’s world shattered—literally. When he woke up, he saw that he was in a completely different body, in a completely new world, with memories that weren’t his. Now going by Rion Hale, a sixteen-year-old human with a hidden potential, Adelaide finds himself in a world where the rules are not quite what he was used to. Instead of the supremacy of technology, the world was teeming with Cultivators who wielded supernatural powers through a force called Origin Energy. But all hope is not lost. Armed with the knowledge he brought with him, he uses his Resonance ability, an uncommon Adept power that allows him to harmonize with machines, amplifying their capabilities far beyond their design limits, to become what would eventually be known as the Deity of Machinery. Armed with ingenuity, inherited memories, and a supernatural gift tied to technology, Rion walks a fine line between two identities and two worlds. But as forces from his new world begin to take interest in him, one thing becomes clear. He didn’t just cross into a new world. He might be the one to change it forever.

Reborn as Princess Nefertari Vivi—the sole heir of the Alabasta Kingdom and owner of untold riches—she was meant to live a life of luxury, diplomacy, and political expectation. But fate has other plans. With the blood of royalty and the fire of rebellion in her veins, she refuses to be a pawn in the World Government’s game. Becoming a pirate? Impossible. Joining the Navy? Laughable. Yet from within the shadows of the Grand Line, she rises—not as a princess of peace, but as the hidden boss of the pirate world. In a brutal world ruled by Devil Fruits, Haki, and ancient powers, survival is the first step. But for her, survival isn't enough. She’ll ignite revolutions, challenge emperors, and rip through fate itself to forge a throne no one saw coming. If the world won’t give her a crown—she’ll take it.

Rosemary spent 18 years thinking she was a member of the wealthy Harris family, only to discover she was a fake rich girl. When the real heiress returned, Rosemary was cast aside and sent back to her poor hometown. But fate had other plans for her, as she soon discovered that her hometown was actually the most exclusive villa area in the country. In a single night, Rosemary went from a modestly wealthy girl to the true heiress of a top-tier elite family. Her biological parents showered her with love, handing her millions of dollars in pocket money, providing access to any car from their fleet, and letting her buy anything from the world’s top designers. As for school, the best institutions were at her fingertips, and if she didn’t feel like studying, she could play with the family company. But what shocked Rosemary the most was finding out she had an ex-fiancé. She couldn’t understand why he kept clinging to her, holding her hand, and trying to kiss her. “Who are you, sir?” Rosemary asked, annoyed. “Sweetheart, I’m your husband,” the ex-fiancé responded. “I don’t have a husband, only a former fiancé”
