The plain son
By @Kshitiz Raj Shrestha
In the modern metropolis of Gaya, a fragile peace holds after the Great Species War. Theodore Augustus Minotaur, a unique envoy of the human embassy, bears the weight of preventing a new cataclysm. Born of a Minotaur father and a Mermaid mother, his physique defies convention: the elegant upper body of a merman, anchored by the formidable, taurine legs of his paternal lineage. He moves with the crushing strength of a full Minotaur, a deceptive calm masking the power within. Tasked with integrating into human society to quell the lingering animosity between races, Theodore's every step is a tightrope walk. He must navigate suspicion, prejudice, and ancient grudges, all while suppressing his own instincts and the growing tensions that threaten to ignite a second, far deadlier war. The fate of coexistence rests on his broad shoulders, a peace he alone might uphold or inadvertently shatter.

Teko
By @Tonnie Tuwei
Born a frail orphan, Seishuro Tekoma, known as Teko, was abandoned and raised by a kind elderly woman in the bustling heart of Shibuya. Despite his diminutive stature (168cm, 48.5kg), Teko honed his body to peak physical fitness, a silent rebellion against his perceived weakness. Unbeknownst to the world, he wields the 'Emperor's Eye,' granting him unparalleled perception, along with universal superspeed, expert misdirection, and a genius IQ of 220. He can even 'Redact' information from others' minds and sense ki/intent. In a modern Japan where superhuman abilities are a brutal reality tied to physical prowess, a hidden underworld threatens to shatter Shibuya's fragile peace. Teko, driven by a cold stoicism forged from abandonment, finds himself drawn into the city's underbelly. He seeks not glory, but a quiet strength to protect the few he cares for, navigating a treacherous landscape where every flicker of intent can be fatal. His quest for belonging clashes with a world that only values raw power, forcing him to confront if his unique mind and speed can truly overcome a society obsessed with might.

Teko
By @Tonnie Tuwei
Seishuro Tekomoa, known as Teko-kun, was abandoned as a frail orphan, his 168cm, 48.5kg frame marked for a life of perceived weakness in Today's Modern Japan. Raised by an elderly lady, he relentlessly trained his small body, forging himself into a weapon. His "Emperor's Eye" grants unparalleled perception, complemented by universal Superspeed, uncanny Misdirection, and the ability to Redact information from reality itself. With an IQ of 220 and potent Ki/intent sensing, Teko is a walking paradox - a physical 'weakling' wielding god-tier abilities. Yet, a shadow looms over Shibuya. A rising tide of enhanced individuals, wielding the very physical prowess Teko initially lacked, threatens to shatter the city's fragile peace. Teko, drawn into the escalating chaos, must now leverage his unique blend of cerebral power and deceptive physical might to protect the only home he's ever known, facing a world that still judges him by his size.

Teko
By @Tonnie Tuwei
Teko, a diminutive, abandoned orphan, defied a world that dismissed him. Despite his frail frame (168cm, 48.5kg), his rigorous training forged a terrifying arsenal: the "Emperor's Eye" dissects reality, universal superspeed blurs his existence, and a 220 IQ orchestrates perfect misdirection and redaction. Yet, a hidden threat stalks Shibuya, preying on those with nascent superhuman abilities. Teko, hardened by a childhood without warmth, uses his unparalleled power not for justice, but to protect the memory of the elderly woman who offered him solace, now threatened by the same shadowy forces. As the lines between human and monster blur in modern Japan, Teko, a phantom of absolute power, finds himself at the heart of a conspiracy that questions the very nature of strength and the cost of his terrifying gifts. He must choose between the cold comfort of solitude and becoming the reluctant guardian against an encroaching darkness that seeks to consume his last remaining tether to humanity.

Robbed of her home and cursed by her late husband’s elite cultivator family, she has nothing left but a biting sense of sarcasm. When cruel orderlies dump a crushed, heavy-shelled turtle in her room to "keep the dying company," Ning Qiao uses her last painkillers and IV fluids to ease the creature's suffering. She doesn't expect the turtle to be the ancient Guardian of the Youming River. To repay her, the spirit initiates a cosmic identity swap. It accepts her terminal curse and mortal name, passing away peacefully in her bed, while Ning Qiao awakens entirely healed, possessing a flawless spiritual core and the cosmic authority of a river deity.

Aided by a brooding rogue swordmaster bound to the river's aura, and a loyal friend hiding a bloody past, Ning Qiao prepares to drown the Tuohe Clan's arrogance.

The Malpractice Directive
By @john1208
Isken Rahal is a discarded asset. Laid off from his data-entry job at the monopolistic biotech giant, Valtara, he finds himself in a rain-slicked back alley, negotiating the sale of his own kidney just to survive the week. But as the scalpel falls, a cold prompt appears: [Patient Status: Critical. Initializing Surgeon Protocol]. Suddenly, Isken’s miserable life becomes a series of clinical trials. The System assigns him missions to 'diagnose' and 'excise' the societal tumors that ruined him - the corrupt executives of Valtara.

But Isken isn't the only one with a System. A rival user known only as 'The Pathogen' is hunting him down, adapting to his every move. Furthermore, his bitter rivalry with Valtara's top corporate fixer, Syrine, begins to blur the lines between target and ally as they cross blades in the shadows. As Isken carves his way to the top, he uncovers the horrifying truth behind Valtara’s cruelty: they aren't hoarding wealth, but desperately conducting human trials to cure an impending city-wide extinction. Will he complete his final excision, or become the very sickness he was meant to cure?

The Charlatan's Engine: Weaponizing the Prestige
By @john1208
Zennor Fent hit rock bottom when the corrupt Vexillion Trust shattered his hands, reducing the once-promising illusionist to a starving beggar in the flooded subway tunnels of Vintara. Then, [The Charlatan's Engine] awakened.

But the System has one lethal rule: he must never reveal the secret behind a trick. As Zennor begins humiliating the city's elites through bizarre, supernatural public spectacles, the Trust dispatches their deadliest hounds to silence him. Can Zennor execute the ultimate city-wide illusion before the curtain falls on his life, or will a single missed cue get him killed?

The Causality Hustle: Rewriting My Rock Bottom
By @john1208
Banyu Darma hit rock bottom when he took the fall for a disastrous structural collapse in the vertical mega-city of Jakarta-Tiga. Now a destitute scrap-diver drowning in debt, he awakens the [Causality Patch Engine]. The System doesn't hand out gold or magical superpowers; it awards retro-revisions. [Mission: Sabotage the espresso machine in the Pan-Indo Corp lobby.] [Reward: Revision of June 4th - You never sold your mother's antique watch.] The moment the bizarre mission is complete, reality shimmers. The watch appears on his wrist, his bank account updates, and his flooded basement instantly transforms into a clean mid-level apartment as his personal history overwrites itself. But rewriting the past creates terrifying friction in the present. As Banyu takes on increasingly unhinged missions to ultimately gain enough authority to undo the disaster that killed his sister, the city's ruthless elites begin suffering violent phantom memories of the timelines he is erasing. With a relentless corporate fixer hunting the source of these temporal tremors, can Banyu rewrite his ultimate tragedy before reality autocorrects and deletes him entirely?

The Chokepoint Monopoly
By @john1208
Rivo Zann is freezing, starving, and one missed debt payment away from being processed into biological fertilizer by the Gresca city syndicates. At absolute rock bottom, he awakens the [Chokepoint System], which issues dangerous, hyper-specific missions with seemingly pathetic rewards: the deed to a rusted fire escape, the air rights to a three-foot alley, or the zoning permit for a single sewer grate. But when the city's most ruthless mega-corp attempts to lay a billion-dollar energy grid, they discover their entire route is legally blocked by Rivo's three-foot alley. Suddenly, Rivo isn't just surviving; he's installing toll booths on the ambitions of the ultra-rich. With every mission, Rivo braves violent gangs and corporate hitmen to secure his bizarre portfolio, and the rewards visibly transform his life from a hunted beggar into an urban warlord armed with municipal codes. But as he begins strangling the syndicates' supply lines, the elites decide that assassination is cheaper than paying rent. Can Rivo monopolize the city's infrastructure before the syndicates bulldoze him into the concrete?

The Golden Leash of Clan Kadek
By @john1208
Kenji Lim only ever wanted to paint. Living in a cramped apartment, selling his art on the bustling streets of Taring Bay, his biggest worry was making rent. That is, until a frantic chase through the city's neon-lit alleys ends with him face-to-face with the legendary Kadek Clan, a secret dynasty of martial artists who control the global underworld from the shadows.

Kenji soon realizes he wasn't found to lead; he was found to be a pawn in a deadly succession game. Can a shy artist who prefers canvas to combat learn to master a power he never wanted and outwit the very family that holds his golden leash?

By @john1208
Fleeing through the rain-slicked woods of Tarnstead, Rovik - the universally feared, bloodthirsty Demonic Lord of Ghal-Tir - is tackled by men in white coats. His cosmic Ascension reward was a carefully laid trap: transmigration into a Qi-starved, eerie modern psychiatric hospital where his chilling, quietly ruthless threats are treated with heavy sedatives.

Miasma in the Madhouse
By @john1208
Opening with a shadowy pact struck centuries ago, grandmaster alchemist Corvin Morstan awakens in a padded cell at the Bleakmoor Institute. The modern world is on the brink of an incurable, supernatural plague known as the Hollow Rot. Corvin is the only one who can concoct the cure, but his archaic speech and deadpan demands for venomous centipedes have the clinical staff convinced he suffers from a severe schizotypal personality disorder. Told in close third person, Corvin sarcastically navigates mandatory group therapy while crafting antidotes from cafeteria mold to save his younger sister, Tasia, from the encroaching infection. He finds an unexpected ally in Dr. Yvaine Helstrom, a disgraced epidemiologist who realizes his 'delusions' are actually saving the city. When Corvin brutally beats a terrifying plague-demon to death in the courtyard, the staff merely applauds his vigorous shadow-boxing. But as the dark truth surfaces - revealing his past self deliberately engineered this very asylum stay to intercept the plague's epicenter - can Corvin synthesize the ultimate cure before the rot consumes the woman he's falling for?

What the Water Gave the Mire
By @john1208
I, Rhys Llewellyn, was once the best detective in the rain-slicked city of Aberddu, until a case gone wrong left me disgraced and my partner dead. Now, I'm stuck with the dregs: cold cases nobody wants. That’s how I found her - Ffion, a sharp-witted ghost bound to the crumbling riverside manor where she was murdered a decade ago. She can’t remember her killer’s face, only that she trusted them. The catch? I can only see her in reflections - a fleeting image in a windowpane, a shimmer on a puddle, a glimpse in my own weary eyes in the mirror. She is my only witness, and I am her only link to the living world. As we piece together the puzzle of her last days, a fragile, unspoken love blossoms in the space between our worlds. We dream of finding a way to bring her back, but the city’s strange magic has a price. What if solving her murder isn't enough, and the very connection that allows us to meet is also the one that's pulling her apart, reflection by reflection?

Empire of the Iron Wolf
By @john1208
Saran was the ice-cold pawn who drove the Qara clan into bankruptcy, only to be rewarded with a one-way trip out of a penthouse window by her fiancé, Naranbaatar. Reborn on the day of her lavish engagement, she publicly detonates the ceremony, grabs her innocent younger brother Batu, and defects to the very man she once destroyed: Timur Qara, the fierce but stoic leader of the Iron Wolf tribe. Her new mission? Use her future knowledge to systematically crush his enemies and hand Timur an untouchable empire. Told in alternating third-person perspectives between Saran and Timur, the story takes a satirical jab at high society as Saran treats devastating sabotage like picking up the dry cleaning. But the real jolt is her aggressive, action-based affection toward Timur. She buys him territories and ruins his rivals, yet her immense guilt forms a bittersweet, unspoken love that prevents her from actually confessing her feelings. Timur, a hardened warrior out of place in the modern metropolis, is left constantly flustered by this terrifyingly devoted woman. With Naranbaatar’s sympathetic but twisted motives to save his own dying nomadic clan coming to light, can Saran protect her brother and make amends before the city burns?
