    Machigai is an action-fantasy story set in a world where supernatural energy known as Kiru decides strength, survival, and status. In a city constantly threatened by monsters, powerful fighters, and hidden organizations, Kuro Blackwell lives as one of the few people born without Kiru. While others are able to protect themselves with incredible abilities, Kuro is left behind in a world that only respects power. After a devastating monster attack and the worsening illness of his sister, Yasuro, Kuro is forced to chase strength he was never supposed to have. His goal is simple: join the Defense Force, find someone with a rare healing ability, and save the only family he has left. But as Kuro begins to awaken his own power, he discovers that the threats facing the city are far larger than monsters. Deadly clans, corrupt secrets, powerful enemies, and dangerous factions begin to pull Kuro into a conflict that could change everything. As he trains, fights, and loses more than he expected, Kuro must decide what strength really means in a world where being weak can cost everything. Machigai is a story about power, survival, loyalty, loss, and the dangerous line between becoming strong enough to protect people and becoming something colder in the process.

    Joko was just an ordinary poor college student living in a cramped dorm room, working part-time to pay for tuition, J and trying to survive the harsh realities of city life. There was nothing special about him-at least until he realized one impossible thing: He was never wrong. Every decision Joko made always turned out perfectly. His exam answers were always correct. His small choices always brought him luck. Even when the situation seemed impossible, the world seemed to force everything to go his way. At first, that ability felt like a miracle that finally changed his life. But as time went on, that perfection turned into something terrifying. People began to grow suspicious. His friends drifted away. Some were jealous, some were afraid, and others wanted to take advantage of him. Behind all the success he achieved, Joko slowly lost something far more important: the freedom to be an ordinary person. Because what if a life that's always right... is actually a curse? And for the first time in his life, Joko wanted to make a single mistake.

Survival isn't just about cunning-it's about trust, choices, and the courage to face truths no one else dares to acknowledge.

I am editing a few chapters, so I'm sorry hehe.
