272 Days Until...

Kyle. A boy worn thin by expectations that were never truly his own. Misunderstood, overestimated, and exhausted from a lifetime spent pleasing everyone but himself. After graduation, he leaves behind his quiet countryside home, hoping a distant university might finally offer him peace. Instead, the city offers him something far stranger than loneliness. Waiting inside the house meant to be his new start is a girl he has never met-serene, unfamiliar, and fundamentally wrong in ways he can't quite name. She doesn't feel human. And she isn't very good at pretending to be. She asks if she can live with him. Reluctant, and too kind to refuse, Kyle agrees-unaware that he has just welcomed into his life something far older and far greater than he could possibly understand. She is not merely otherworldly. She is an existence that should not care about human hearts at all. An Outer God wearing a fragile disguise, observing a species she was never meant to touch. Yet he fascinates her. Beneath his calm exterior is a boy shaped by a past that taught him to distrust affection, to measure love as obligation, and to fear what it might demand of him in return. His brokenness is not something Anathasia was prepared for, nor something her kind was ever meant to encounter. As she watches him, studies him, and begins to feel, the boundary between observer and participant begins to erode. What begins as quiet cohabitation becomes something far more dangerous. Will their impossible bond heal the wounds Kyle tried so desperately to bury, or will it awaken emotions in both of them that neither of their worlds will allow to exist?

Harem of Villainesses: I Awakened SSS-Rank Skills After Killing a God

# Synopsis My past life doesn't matter. How I died doesn't matter. Only what I am now matters. I woke up in a dead boy's body with one mission: fulfill his last wish. "Kill the sun and weather gods," he whispered before his soul disappeared. I had no choice. A dying wish is sacred—so I accepted it. When I transmigrated, I gained a system and one skill: Absorption. My first target? The sun god, freshly reincarnated and weak. He was just a child. Killing him felt morally grey, until I remembered: gods don't die permanently, they reincarnate. He'd return in a thousand years. So I absorbed his core. [Congratulations! You have slain the Sun God and attained his blazing core!] [Title Acquired: Flame Champion] [Title Acquired: Godslayer!] Staring at those notifications, something changed in me. I didn't just want to fulfill the boy's wish anymore. I wanted to kill every god that exists. One god became two, two became six. Each kill made me stronger, I absorbed their cores, their powers, their very essence. But killing gods has consequences and unexpected rewards. For every god I slay, another villainess joins my side, each one bringing her own power to my crusade. Now, after six divine corpses, Heaven itself demands my head. They've sent their champions, warriors blessed by the gods I haven't killed yet, to strike me down. But I won't stop. Not until every god falls. Even if it means becoming Heaven's greatest enemy with an army of villainesses at my back.

Solar Ascension

Nox always had a dream, he wanted to see the sun without the hazy pollution fog that constantly hung above the slums, he also wanted a chance at becoming a Solar knight, the selected few that were granted a Helion Core and the chance to stand against the monsters known as Eclipsed. But for someone born and raised in the gutters of Aureum, dreams like that were nothing more than fantasies. The Academy, the shining heart of the Solar Confederacy, was a world reserved for the privileged — not for rats scraping through metal heaps for a handful of credits. Until a tier 2 Eclipsed suddenly attacked the slums and by some miracle, Nox found himself alive and in the hands of a crazy teacher at the academy. Now, under the watch of a definitely half-mad Academy instructor who seems far too interested in him, Nox finds himself walking through the gates of the Solar Academy — the very place he once thought unreachable. He doesn’t know it yet, but his survival wasn’t luck. It was the beginning of something far greater. Something that could change Aureum forever. *** Extra chapters and mass releases: 100 power stones = 2 Extra chapters. 50 Golden Tickets= 4 Extra chapters.

"SSS-Rank Fallen: I Tame the Ancient Beasts"

Everyone dreams of awakening a legendary beast affinity. At Ironpeak Academy's awakening ceremony, the elite students receive their destinies: Dragon Affinity. Phoenix Affinity. Leviathan Affinity. These are the powers that will make them legends, the affinities that grant them the right to tame mythical beasts and climb the World Rift rankings. And then there's Kain Veyron. "Trash Affinity." The crystal shatters. The hall goes silent. Then the laughter begins. Kain's awakening grants him the lowest possible result—an affinity that only allows him to bond with vermin. Rats. Cockroaches. Slimes. Stray dogs. The academy's rejects. The creatures even commoners won't waste beast cores on. His family disowns him on the spot. The academy marks him as expendable. His childhood friend—the girl who promised to conquer the Rifts with him—turns her back without a word. In a world where your beast determines your worth, Kain has been branded worthless. But Kain has a secret. When he bonds with that diseased sewer rat the other students kicked toward him as a joke, something awakens. A power even the academy's appraisers couldn't detect: the Eyes of Ancient Truth. And through those eyes, Kain sees what the rat truly is. Not vermin. Not trash. But a seal. A prison. A degraded form of something that once made gods tremble. **Ratatoskr, the World Tree Devourer. Sealed and fallen. Waiting for someone to restore what was lost.** That cockroach scuttling through the cafeteria? **Khepri, the Solar Calamity.** That stray dog begging for scraps? **Fenrir, the Twilight Wolf.** These aren't trash mobs. They're SSS-rank ancient beasts—gods who fell from grace, their power sealed, their forms degraded into the weakest creatures in existence. And Kain's Trash Affinity? It's the only power in the world that can unseal them. Restore them. Awaken them to their true divine forms. The academy laughed when Kain bonded with a rat. They won't be laughing when that rat transforms into a world-ending catastrophe beast. They called him Trash Tamer. They marked him as the weakest in their generation. But Kain is about to show them what happens when you underestimate the one who commands fallen gods. This is the rise of the SSS-Rank Fallen Tamer. And the ancient beasts are waking up.

Fate: I Just Want to Die and Sit on the Throne of Heroes

I crossed into the world of Type Moon and, for some reason, the Root itself recognized me. As long as I die an abnormal death, I can ascend to the Throne of Heroes and become its lord, an existence stronger and freer than even the Seven Grand Servants. So, in order to die, I started acting like a complete fool across the Nasuverse. I cursed Gilgamesh to his face in Uruk, challenged almighty Zeus in Greece, openly kidnapped Skadi in Northern Europe, proclaimed in Israel that Solomon was a demon god instead of a holy king, and even stood at Morgan’s side in Britain. Yet for some reason I am still alive. By 1994, Fuyuki City, history has given me a ridiculous list of titles: the third friend of the Most Ancient King, the first prime minister of Mesopotamia, the man favored by the Greek gods, the king of giants in Northern Europe, the incarnation of God who awakened Solomon’s humanity in Israel, the miracle worker supported by Prince Camelot. On top of the Fuyuki Bridge, a young yet world weary Lovi sits on the railing, staring at the city lights and sighing. “Tell me, what exactly went wrong? Or you could just kill me here and let me finally ascend to the Throne of Heroes. Please.” Kiritsugu Emiya lights a cigarette, glances at Artoria holding the Holy Spear, at the treasury of the King unfolding beside Gilgamesh, at the crimson spear tip reaching out from the distant Kingdom of Shadows. The cigarette in his hand trembles slightly.

Fusion, The balance Keeper awakens

Fusion is a science-fantasy saga set on a living world shaped by three suns—Solara, Virel, and Nexon—whose energies govern will, identity, and transformation. At its center is Allium Bell, a being created to maintain balance between these forces. Designed as a function rather than a person, Allium begins the story detached, precise, and unsure what it means to choose. As disturbances spread across settlements—emotional flattening, identity erosion, and subtle behavioral harmony—Allium and a small group of allies investigate what initially appears to be environmental instability. What they uncover is not a single enemy, but a growing manipulation of identity itself. As ancient entities exploit the world’s systems and the power of the tri-suns, the cost of balance becomes increasingly personal. Rose, a seraphim seeking warmth and self-definition; Cassidy Firewell, a human forger shaped by loss and humor; Weaver, a creator haunted by the limits of design; and others are drawn into conflicts where force alone cannot solve what is breaking. Fusion is a slow-burn narrative that prioritizes atmosphere, character psychology, and consequence over spectacle. Threats emerge gradually—through silence, behavior, and implication—before violence ever arrives. Power is never free, growth is never clean, and victories carry lasting cost. The series explores themes of identity vs. function, choice vs. design, and the danger of systems that value balance without humanity, building toward escalating conflicts that reshape both the world and those sworn to protect it.
