In 1427, the Byzantine Empire, nearly reduced to the mere mayor of Constantinople, continued to struggle under the threat of the Ottomans. The Empire of Trebizond could only survive through marriage and the mercy of the Crescentists. The fall of Rome was imminent. But far away on the northern shores of the Black Sea, no one noticed that the remnant of the empire on the Black Sea, the last kingdom of the Goths - the Principality of Theodore, was in the calm before the storm. No one would have imagined that here would emerge the greatest restorer of the Roman Empire. Until many years later...

"I am not Superman. I am Homelander." The whisper was an internal prayer, a caustic reassurance. Outside the glass tower, the world saw only the Homelander, the Icon, the Man Who Flew the Bomb. They saw the perfect, smiling face of the hero who, in the chaos of the Battle of New York, carried a nuclear warhead through the wormhole and saved a city. The cheers from the streets below—the deafening, worldwide adoration—were the fuel for his ascension. He was crowned their king, a savior in star-spangled spandex. In this new reality, fame wasn't just influence; it was power. He had a system now: the Superstar System. The higher the popularity, the stronger the abilities. It was a viciously simple contract, one he embraced completely. "Matt," he purred into the spotlight, curing the blind lawyer's eyes on live television. "Your city needs an icon, not a devil. Let the light in." He assembled his own team—a perfectly marketed, perfectly managed Super Seven—with Spider-Man now running PR and Daredevil as his reformed protégé. Every action was a performance; every enemy, a prop. When the news of a purple alien named Thanos reached his gilded penthouse, Azu smiled, a blinding, dangerous flash for the cameras. "Thanos," he murmured, the adoration of billions surging through his veins, making his skin feel like charged steel. His eyes flared with a dazzling red light that promised annihilation. "I heard you're going to wipe out half of my fans?" He was trapped in the Marvel universe, now its most powerful celebrity. And the show had only just begun.

Arriving in the Pokémon world and inheriting the land and breeding house left behind by his great-aunt, Lucas decides to reopen it. How to utilize the land? Definitely by cultivating it, planting... and then helping to take care of the Pokémon entrusted here by customers, creating a perfect paradise for them. Not just a paradise for Pokémon, but for people too. "You ask why the Pokémon in my backyard are so imposing?" Lucas turns his head and shouts helplessly, "I've already told you, this is a Breeding House! It's not a place for you Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and Champions to have your afternoon tea parties." Cynthia, Lance, Steven, Wallace, and Diantha pretend not to hear. "..." Looking at the nearby Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy who have come to trouble him with their Pokémon's psychological problems again, Lucas...

People always say, control your emotions, don’t be weak, don’t do this, don’t do that—but you know what? F*ck all that. This story isn’t about perfection or pretending to be strong—it’s about being real. The characters in this world don’t have all the answers; they stumble, they fight, they break, and still, they keep moving. Just like us. I want the readers to feel that—every joy, every heartbreak, every spark of anger and desire. I want you to walk beside them through the Land of Eirs, to bleed when they bleed, to rise when they rise. Because this isn’t just their story—it’s a reminder that no matter how heavy life gets, we keep moving. Always.

For the ten-million-dollar prize, Darian is grinding through a massive virtual game called “Marvel World.” What he doesn’t realize is that from the moment the game began, he was already transported into the real Marvel Universe; becoming its only player. From cutting deals with Tony Stark to outsmarting Hydra agents and walking straight into S.H.I.E.L.D.’s crosshairs, Darian treats every encounter like a quest to be cleared and every hero like an NPC with loot to drop. To everyone else, he’s an unpredictable anomaly, but to himself, just a gamer following the mechanics. Nick Fury: Darian is an excellent agent, but he's a bit of a snob. Every time a mission is issued, he skips over it. Tony Stark: I can't believe it! The other day, Darian and I teamed up, and I came back with only my underwear left. Banner: I'm the exact opposite. My only underwear was stolen, and in a rage, I transformed into the Hulk, making headlines that evening. Thor: Darian claims he's reached 1000 Justice Points, then he raised my Mjölnir Hammer and ran off... When the world questions his methods, Darian just shrugs and says, “I’m just playing by the rules.”
