A talking book. A glitching school. And three failing students caught in the mess. Rai, Lia, and Niko never signed up for magical chaos. But at Westhex Academy, time loops, rogue spells, and smug grimoires are just the start. Something’s wrong with the school—and it’s scribbled deep in the margins of a cursed 444-page tome. This story contains suggestive humor, pun-based character names, and innuendo intended for older teens and up. While there is no explicit sexual content, reader discretion is advised.

“I didn’t mean to summon you… but hey, you’ll do.” Kira wasn’t chosen. He wasn’t special. He was just the result of a divine roulette spun by a bored god — a god too lazy to fight for influence like the others, but rich enough in divine energy to mess around. Kira? A timid 22-year-old shut-in with no job, no passion, and zero emotional volatility. And yet… something about him caught the god’s eye. Or maybe the god just couldn’t be bothered to spin again. Now thrown into the world of Numen, Kira is given a one-of-a-kind system, total freedom, and only one instruction: “Go do whatever. I’ll be watching.” There is no need to slay demon lords or to protect kingdoms — just a quiet guy and a lazy god ready to break the world's balance and make something new, together. Calm. Overpowered. Free. Let the gamble begin.

"There was once a hero." All have heard that phrase at least once in their lives. Whispered by old men before firelight. Carved into stone beneath crumbled towers. Inscribed on the last pages of dying books. But more often than not, it was just a prelude— a sentence used to dress up myths, to clothe legends in something that sounded like truth. "There was once a hero who defeated the Demon King." "There was once a hero who slew the last of the skyborn dragons." .......... "There was once a hero who was thrown into the abyss... and kept climbing out of it." "There was once a hero who walked with tragedy tied around his waist like a blade." "There was once a hero who changed lives—not with miracles, but with mercy." Shotaro Mugyiwara. A name drowned in dust. A face erased by time. He wakes as a blank slate— somewhere in the shattered lands of Drakastradorn, known also as Aetheria. No memory of who he was. No sense of why he still breathes. Only silence. Only echoes. Only the wind screaming through ruins that remember him better than he remembers himself. This world is not kind. It is carved by Mantra, an energy not of magic, but of something older— from beyond space, beyond time— a power not meant for mortal tongues to name. The land bleeds war. The stars above are scarred. And in this stage of gods and monsters, drama and death... he awakens. ......... "He was always the hero." A child is born in Hokkaido, on the night of January 30, 2008. A birth that was never supposed to happen. From a womb never seeded. A life conjured, not conceived. The world shook the moment he took his first breath. Because something ancient had returned. Something the world had forgotten how to fear. --- "There was once a hero... who was a great diplomat." Who could shape armies not with swords, but with words. Who could bend even fate to a shared purpose. Shotaro Mugyiwara’s life was never normal. And it will never be. Even in a world where he remembers nothing— no comrades, no battles, no lovers, no scars— even with the past ripped from his veins... He walks. He endures. He refuses to kneel. Because the truth is simple. "There was once a hero..." "Who kept moving forward."

(Short synopsis) Whenever a suicide happens, people think that he was way too negative. But what if in reality, certain dark creatures were involved in that suicide which no one could see except a few rare people in the world with a certain trait.

[Welcome to the Great Tycoon System.] And for the first time, Gray had a way to fight back. From being weak and broke, he’ll rise to the top—one coin and one job at a time.

Before his gruesome death, Gene Conti was one of the greatest icons of the 1960s. But after spending half a century in Hell, only gambling and the suffering of others excite him. Fortunately for him, his days of boredom are over. Having served his sentence, he finds himself in the body of a young man in the modern era. Now freed, Gene wishes to continue what he missed the most as a dead man: acting. Once again, he aspires to be an actor admired the world over. But will the angels and demons leave him alone? Will his bold attitude clash with the sensitive modern era? Or will the actor from Hell surrender to his lust for chaos and violence?

They called him the “Silent Tactician” long before the blood dried on the banners. Before the journal was found. Before history remembered the cost. At the heart of an elite academy where talent alone isn't enough, Nitsuo stands not with power or prestige—but with silence, strategy, and an unreadable gaze. To most, he’s just a quiet second-year. To a few, he is the mind behind impossible victories. Behind his team’s laughter, behind the storm of noble politics and magical duels, he records everything—in a worn leather journal that one day will be all that remains. Each student here dreams of glory. Each battle is more than a test; it’s a war for identity. Magic is studied like warcraft. Words are weapons. Feelings are hidden behind masks, until a single moment—a mistake, a duel, a glance too long—cracks them wide open. But Nitsuo didn’t come here to win. He came to carry a promise. And while his comrades clash and grow, while quiet rivalries bloom into unspoken feelings and accidental flirts stir the hearts of more than one, a war far beyond the school walls brews in the dark. Because legends aren't born—they’re remembered. And The Silent Tactician doesn’t speak to be heard. He writes so his story won't be lost.

Ashton is stuck between an underwater volcano, and a heart devouring dragon. Metaphorically speaking anyway. The princess of the sea has sworn on her mother's life to drag him down. Problem is, Ashton can't be killed. So after hundreds of years of pulling beasts of legend to her side, rewriting history, and backing him into a corner where he broke his heart into pieces, she thinks that with one final push... she may convince Ashton to simply end his own existence. Ashton is fully aware of her little schemes, it's not every day a dragon get's its still beating heart ripped out, then is bound to the land it ruthlessly conquered. Ashton would have even found it mildly poetic that the slain dragon was now forced to bless the land for all eternity... if, and emphasis on the IF, the blessing hadn't been twisted into a curse for the last 700 years. Now, Ashton has a few minor inconveniences to deal with. First, he's stuck in a decaying body. Second his memories aren't fully intact. Third, it would prick his pride if the descendants of "blessed" dragon died while he was in their territory. Fourth, he has two really, really, REALLY scary siblings that don't always bother with the details. Fifth, the only reason this princess and her mother even had the chance to scheme against him is because he was looking for a possible mate. He's the only one of his kind, thousands of years alone has him craving for a companion... for a heart to sing just for him... There are really only two outcomes now that Ashton is starting to regain his memories. Will the princess succeed in dragging him down, used as the new sacrifice to keep the "blessing" going, or will he ascend?

The tale of the knight in shining armor rescuing the trapped princess from the clutches of an evil monster. Together, they ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after. A theme as old as time. One that has been around since the dawn of stories. But what if the princess stuck behind bars is the monster? What if behind their beautiful and graceful facade, is a heart of cruelty devoid of all compassion and sympathy? This the tale of a knight who wishes to escape his master without knowing how his actions impact everyone around him.

He transmigrated. At home, there's a beautiful stepmother who stayed behind after his father went on a solo overseas assignment, eager to build a good relationship with him. Next door, there's a dignified and uninhibited wealthy madam, and her seemingly delinquent twin daughters. At the desk in front of him, a cold and elegant honor student who appears to be facing some family issues. Tucked away in his drawer, a letter from the valiant kendo club captain, asking him to meet her on the rooftop after school. The infirmary door always has a "currently in use" sign hanging on it. Strange noises always emanate from the sports storage room. The neighbor's wife seems to always be in some kind of trouble, always asking him to fix her computer. Facing all of this, Uesugi Kazuki silently glanced at the mask in his school bag. "Now then... which outlaw will I be punishing tonight?" Note: Don't think too deep. Content Warning: This story contains disturbing themes including sexual content, violence, psychological manipulation, and social depravity. Reader discretion is not just advised—it's mandatory. Before start you should understand that the story has lots of what one might call R21 material although most of them aren't actually explicitly shown just mentioned, in a disturbing way. --- This is a OG. --- Note: A reader brought this to my attention that tags are confusing and could imply that MC is the one doing all these acts. So I wanted to clarify this before more readers give on the novel simply because the confusing tag. "No, how did you get this idea? Those are tags for the acts happening in the novel or have been affirmed to have happened by other characters or mentioned by the narrator. That doesnt't necessarily mean MC is the one dooing them. Did you not read evil organisation/Cult or hero tag? The hero tag is for MC and Evil Organisation/Cult is the one forcefully committing those acts. (most of the time). The story is also an AU meaning this story is only for entertainment purposes. You will already notice these elements in the starting chapter especially regarding night life, infact there is chapter named *004 There's Something Wrong with This World* that will give you a better idea. I am sorry if the tags were confusing I will redact and modify them for future readers convenience. Thanks you for bringing this to my attention." Was my reply to them. I am a big Fan of Marvel comics and anime especially there darker aspects and their implications. I had this idea for some time now but as I am a newbie i might fail in some areas. So I ask you to read and judge the book for yourself. I am not asking you to read 100 or 200 chapters, i am asking you to read the first few dozens of those. If abled probably 50? Because those show exactly what you would expect from this novel.

He aces every exam, never misses a day, and walks the halls like a perfect model student. But behind his glasses lies a mind trained for war—and a past drenched in blood. At St. Veritas International School, Lâm Kha Vũ is untouchable. But when a symbol from the shadows resurfaces—the mark of a blue rose—his double life begins to crack. Genius. Liar. Heir to a terrorist legacy. He didn’t choose the darkness. He was born from it. And now, it’s calling him back.

In the year 2036, artificial intelligence is as ordinary as electricity—powering homes, writing essays, and replacing entire industries. But when Playtoon Co., a mid-sized South Korean tech company, unveils UPRAISED, the world’s first full-dive MMORPG, everything changes. Unlike anything before it, UPRAISED doesn’t just simulate reality—it evolves with it. Taste, pain, freedom, consequence—every sensation is real. And for Lukas, a 24-year-old convenience store clerk in Manila stuck in a loop of routine and quiet frustration, it’s more than a game. It’s a way out. Haunted by the feeling that life is passing him by, Lukas spends his savings on a NeuroDrive capsule and dives in. No plan. No class picked. Just hope. But the shadows welcomed him—and soon, so did the blade. But UPRAISED isn’t a fantasy playground. It’s alive—with adaptive AI, ruthless players, and a system that doesn’t always play fair. When Lukas is unexpectedly flagged as a Red Name—marked for death, hunted by players, and feared by NPCs—he learns the hard way: in this world, every choice has weight, and every mistake has teeth. This isn’t just a second life. It’s the only one that ever felt real. And as Lukas rises through the chaos, he uncovers a deeper truth: UPRAISED is more than a single world. Hidden within its code are sealed realms—forgotten, forbidden, and waiting. When the first portal opens, it won’t just be a new expansion. It will be war.

bored from his school life Maarg had been living a free and simple life but what will happen when he realises that the new epidemic will change his and his loved ones lives forever!

Chibi Pride: “Look him in the eye, keep your voice steady, and if you need a moment to gather your thoughts, don’t say umm, hold your breath.” Chibi Sloth: “Think… of all the time… we could save…” Chibi Gluttony: “Moderation doesn’t mean abstinences.” Chibi Lust: “Nothing is sexier than a man who brings exotic trophies back from his hunt.” Chibi Wrath: “It’s not even that big a deal, it’s one freaking box man.” Chibi Envy: “Come on Greed, if we don’t get it now, we’ll keep thinking about it, then next time a craving hits, we’ll just want more. Probably something more expensive, or more of it.” Chibi Greed: “It’s. Not. On. The. List.” Max watched the seven tiny forms of the great and powerful seven deadly sins argue… over a box of Lucky Charms. He steadied his shoulders and met the tiny Greed’s eyes blocking the box he’d reached for, “I’ve worked two double shifts this week, yes it’s outside of budget, and not on the list, but...” He took a moment as Chibi Pride nodded encouragingly. “Twice this week I left work so late I was too tired to make anything. Yes, it’s cheaper, yes, it’s healthier, but I need something I can grab on the go, or stuff my face in under ten minutes. I’ll ride my bike to work to cut back bus fares.” Greed glared at his companions, “We’re supposed to work together.” Pride grinned showing all his teeth, “We are.” The other five all grinned at Greed playfully. “I am getting a box of Lucky Charms Greed.” Max didn’t let his voice waver under Greed’s increasingly irate scowl. After a small hesitation, he reached for the box next to Greed, and put it in his cart. When Pride patted his ear he let out the breath he’d been holding as a wide smile spread over his face. Hell yeah! I finally did it! After three months, they, no he, managed to stand his ground. Ryan, the security guard, watched the young man… talk to a box of cereal. All the fucking crazies around here, he hated it when they started talking to themselves. Never knew when one would get violent… at least this kid was a regular… always talking to fruits, vegetables, sometimes the occasional discounted meat. He leaned his head to his walkie talkie, “It’s our fruit negotiator, apparently the cereal isn’t keen on going home with him today. Tell Karen she can relax.” Ruby listened to the chatter as she gave her best customer service smile to their very own special Karen. She’d refused to pay for her four hundred dollars’ worth of groceries until someone verified the crazy guy she’d spotted had been spoken to. Her two crotch goblins still screaming hysterically in the father’s cart… they had to be at least eight years old already… God how much longer was her shift? Ruby checked her phone… seven hours… and twenty-three more minutes… not including her lunch.

He had been in love with Satomi since high school, and after years of struggling together, they finally built a stable life. But stability came with a price. Satomi was always busy. Work became her priority, and Haruki… was left behind. The warmth of their relationship faded, and intimacy became a distant memory. Nights felt colder, the bed emptier—even when she was right beside him. Loneliness gnawed at him. Then everything changed when Satomi’s family invited him to stay at their luxurious home. That was the first time he truly saw her mother. Kyouko. Beautiful. Elegant. Younger-looking than her own daughter. And for the first time in years, Haruki felt something awaken inside him—something dangerous, something forbidden. Living under the same roof, two lonely souls cross paths. And as Haruki struggles with his emotions, one question lingers in his mind: What happens when the one who understands you most… is the one you should never desire?
