He has only one advantage, or perhaps two. He uses his intellect in a world where many think with their muscles, and he disregards the means to achieve his goals.

The Rift in Kaalam

Velan ends up in a realm known as Kaalam by the will of a mysterious person who called himself Master. Then Velan was given a single mission by that person: "Kill the King of Bandha" Before Velan could even respond to it, he was sent back in time to an ancient kingdom—the Bandha Kingdom. There, he finds himself chased by guards, put on court trial, finally ending up on a dungeon prison where he meets Anya, a chaotic and violent woman who helps him escape the prison. She reveals to him secrets that he was never supposed to know. Secrets that were kept away from him. And as he approaches his target, the King, he questions his mission itself and the mysterious Master who sent him. Later, Master reassures him that it's all for the stability of Kaalam. "The King is a Terror of Kaalm, an evil being that destabilizes Kaalam's harmony." Master had said to him. Would he kill the King like Master says and stabilize Kaalam? Or would he choose to follow Anya who saved his life?

ABSOLVE: The Dark Horse

He was arguing that free will exists when the world ended. One move from winning. A stone between his fingers. His oldest rival across the board, insisting that nothing anyone does is truly chosen — that every step of a man's life was laid down before he took the first. Then the room skipped, and Shen Huang woke facedown in black water on a world that had never heard of Earth. He did not panic. He counted. Wrong cold. Fog the color of a bruise. A crowd above him, waiting. Two seconds, and he understood he was dead, and elsewhere, and here on purpose. The third second was the one that should have frightened him. He was interested. In this world, power is inherited. The Vashari are born holding it — fire that follows the eye, minds that bend memory, futures read like a page. Everyone else is Nuun. The empty. The severed. Cattle with names, herded into a drowned frontier nobody else wanted. Shen Huang has no power. He will never have power. He has something worse. He has four thousand years of a dead world's warcraft locked behind his eyes — every siege, every betrayal, every annihilation history ever recorded — and he has landed among a people who have never seen a single one of them. They will call him the Nobody. Then the general. Then the King of the Empty. And when they finally find a word for what he is, it will not be a title. It will be a curse, whispered in a language older than their gods, for the thing that moves without being moved. He has done this before. He does not remember losing.

Warm My Bed, Brother-in-law

“Spread your legs for me until your husband wakes up.” I barely have time to breathe before I’m pressed against the office door. His fist tightens in my hair, and his other hand hikes my skirt up without hesitation, like this was always going to happen. His lips hover at my ear, his voice quiet and deadly. “Six months, Elena,” Damian murmurs, knuckles brushing the inside of my thigh. “For six months, my brother will get your name, and I get your body. Fair, isn’t it?” I should push him away. I should scream until someone hears me. I should be thinking about my husband lying in a hospital bed, machines breathing for him. Instead, my fingers clutch my husband’s brother’s shirt, and I hate that my body responds before my mouth can find the word no. Because in a world built on blood and betrayal, the only man who’s ever looked at me like I was more than a decoration is my husband’s much younger brother. I’m Elena Vitale, 38, wife of a powerful mafia boss now clinging to life in a coma and somehow, I'm the one left holding an empire I never wanted. And the only person ruthless enough to help me hold it together is Damian Vitale. At 26, he’s the black sheep of the family… an exiled hacker who built his own ruthless syndicate from nothing but resentment, genius, and an obsession with me that began when he was nineteen. Our deal is brutally simple. He’ll protect my husband’s empire. He’ll hunt the traitor who put a bullet in his brother’s chest. And in exchange, I’ll give the devil everything he’s craved for years. My body. My surrender. My soul… until the day my husband opens his eyes.

The Ending Reader

People say every person dies twice. The first time when their heart stops. The second time when they are forgotten. Vael learned that earlier than most. In the rain-soaked megacity of Nexarum, he lives with a curse that allows him to hear the final words people will ever speak. Most are meaningless. Some are horrifying. But one night, inside a Dead Scene where reality twists into nightmare, he hears a silver-haired girl whisper: “Thank you for finding me again.” The problem is she says it like they have already loved each other across countless ruined worlds. As the city collapses beneath endless rain, fractured timelines, and horrors born from abandoned stories, Vael is dragged into a war against the inevitable end of humanity itself. And at the center of it all stands a girl trying desperately not to fall in love with the boy destined to erase himself for her sake. Because in every timeline, the world ends. And in every ending... Vael dies for her.

I Can Extract the Plot ( As a Trash Side-Character)

Caelen Vance was supposed to die in Chapter One. Not metaphorically. Not “almost died but awakened hidden powers” died. Actually executed. Publicly. By axe. Unfortunately for the plot, Caelen remembers the game he reincarnated into. And unfortunately for the world, he just unlocked the single most broken ability imaginable: Endless Concept Extraction Touch anything. Steal one of its concepts. Permanently. Sharpness from swords. Durability from shields. Intent to Kill from monsters. Later? Luck. Identity. Memories. Even Divine Authority itself. There’s only one catch: He can only extract once every 24 hours. Now trapped inside the brutal dark-fantasy RPG Apocalypse: Reforged as a talentless noble bastard with a dead mana core and a 30-day countdown to execution, Caelen has exactly one goal: Survive quietly. Get rich illegally. Avoid every main character. Retire before the apocalypse. Naturally, everything goes horribly wrong. The future Ice Tyrant overseeing his execution becomes suspicious of him. The regressed heroine meant to save the world thinks he’s a timeline-breaking demon. A terrifying demon assassin starts living inside his shadow after he accidentally frees her from slavery. And a merchant genius keeps trying to convert emotional intimacy into legally binding business contracts. Now Caelen must survive political conspiracies, eldritch horrors, noble assassins, and the increasingly violent cold war between four dangerously competent women all while pretending he is absolutely, definitely, completely normal. Which becomes difficult after he accidentally removes a monster’s “Intent to Kill” and gives it an existential crisis. After all… It’s hard to stay a background character when you’re secretly stealing the concepts holding the world together.

The Destined Path of Water

For generations, the River of Life has blessed the valley with crystal waters, flourishing forests, and a promise whispered through every spring festival. Hidden within its depths sleeps an ancient water dragon—the silent guardian who has watched over humanity since the beginning. When ten-year-old Sae and nine-year-old Rika are each saved by the mysterious dragon on opposite sides of the same river, their lives become bound by an invisible thread. Though they grow up worlds apart and never meet, both carry an unexplainable connection to the river, a strange blue necklace, and dreams that refuse to fade. Years later, as a massive dam threatens to silence the sacred waters forever, forgotten legends begin to awaken. The dragon's strength wanes, the river's voice grows faint, and two souls unknowingly destined for one another must uncover the truth hidden beneath the flowing current. In a story where nature remembers what people forget, The Destined Path of Water is a heartfelt fantasy about destiny, memory, sacrifice, and the bonds that transcend time. As the river's fate intertwines with their own, Sae and Rika must discover whether some promises can survive—even when every memory has been washed away. Two souls. One current. A destiny written by the river.

Gematrail — Echo Observer — Lævateinn

There is a layer to this story that cannot be reached through the surface plot alone. Clues have been deliberately woven throughout the story for the author and readers to uncover together. Everything needed to reach it should already exist in the knowledge and tools we possess, yet it has not fallen into anyone’s hands—not yet. As you read on, the story quietly waits for someone to notice. *** DEVOUR. The ordinary. The reality. The world. Despair, hope, good and evil—none are permitted. The prophecy is fulfilled here. Soon, the world will lose everything. And the man who once saved it has already lost himself. *** The boundary between illusion and reality had long since ceased to exist. In the year 20XX, without warning or precedent, Monsters emerged — consuming cities, devouring lives, swallowing the world’s last reserves of hope whole. And then, when humanity had nearly surrendered to despair, a Savior appeared. What awaited him was a death sentence — the charge: high treason against the state. Stripped of everything that had ever made him himself, he was cast into a cold and indifferent sea. Yet even there, sinking through the abyss, a light found him — the luminance of a Goddess, merging with what remained of his shattered soul. Darkness coiled around him like a living thing, its tendrils hungry and absolute. And still, against all reason, he was pulled back to the surface. He returned with nothing. No past. No name. No self. They gave him a new one — Ariwara Yūki — and with it, a second life stitched together from silence and borrowed time. Beside him walked Sano Amana, the girl who would become his anchor, and for a while, the two of them knew something that almost resembled ordinary days. Then the Monsters came back. They always come back. As his own memories continue to bleed away, Yūki pursues the vanishing silhouette of Amana — drawn ever deeper into a storm where government conspiracies and the ambitions of shadowed factions grind against each other like tectonic plates. He was once the Savior of this world. Now he has nothing. So what, exactly, can a man with nothing left — do? *** Comedy / Ecchi / Fantasy / Harem / Horror / Mature / Mystery / Romance / School Life / Sci-fi / Slice of Life / Supernatural / Tragedy From Japanese Full-length light novel This translation is provided by the author.
