"Force her hand, and your desires shall turn to ash." That was the warning. Trafalgar Law ignored it. Desperate to save a dying crew-mate after the fallout of Winner Island, Law tracks down the infamous "Sorceress of Desires" in the rusting graveyard of Petra Terminal, expecting a criminal. He finds Dr. Kismet Sutra-a genius scholar trapped in a cage of her own making-held as rare merchandise under the thumb of a powerful patron. "It was a leash that dragged me right into the Restricted Archives." Sutra has the theory to cure the "Sea Grudge". Law has the patient. But they lack the one thing a partnership requires: Trust. They view each other as utilities, blunt instruments to be used and discarded. But when an unexpected sabotage threatens to wipe them both out, they are forced into a "Death Pact" that threatens the government itself, blurring the line between hatred and obsession. He offers his Room. She offers her Ink. Together, they hold the power to undo 800 years of silence.

Sixteen years ago, the greatest Guardian in history sacrificed her soul to seal the demonic gates of Gehenna. Today, an ordinary high school girl just woke up with her power... and the Demon Lords want it back. ​For Luna Yi, the biggest problem in her life was supposed to be Jin Motozawa-the brooding, annoyingly competent, and deadly-silent transfer student who stalks her like prey. But in a world where humans share a fragile alliance with elves, magic, and winged deities, "normal" is just an illusion waiting to be shattered. ​When a bloodthirsty stray from the demon realm corners Luna in an alley, a terrifying, ancient power erupts from her chest. She isn't just a girl with electric-blue hair; she's the vessel of Lunaclipseia, a legendary warrior whose raw Ki energy can vaporize monsters with a thought. ​Now, her "stalker" is revealed to be an elite Guardian assassin sworn to protect her, and Luna's peaceful life is burned to the ground. Forced on the run with Jin, a pink-haired Guardian-in-training, and a shapeshifting beast, Luna is thrust into a ruthless, hidden war in the shadows of society. ​But this isn't a fairy-tale adventure. The barriers between realms are cracking. A massive demon swarm led by the ambitious Lord Balthazar is hunting her to drain her essence. In a modern era ruled by flashing blades, devastating martial arts, and explosive Ki magic, survival is the only victory. ​Can Luna master the legendary fire in her veins, or will the darkness of Gehenna consume her and everyone she loves? ​Genre: Seinen Fantasy / Action / Drama Perfect for fans of high-octane melee combat, dark world-building, and enemies-to-protectors tension.

The world is a masterpiece built on a lie. Our eyes see the rhythm, but they miss the discord. Twelve-year-old Shiro has never known a day of peace. Born into a lineage of legendary heroes, he was supposed to be the next great flame. Instead, he is "Untuned"-born with a violent nerve disorder called Static that leaves his body in a state of constant, electric rebellion. While the world around him moves in a perfect, synchronized harmony, Shiro is a glitch in the system, anchored to a quiet farm in the Green Province, unbuilt for the world of warriors. His father raised him in the shadow of a legend: Saki, the mother Shiro hasn't seen since he was a child. A Captain of the Citadel and the elite blade of King Solace, she represents the pinnacle of a world that values perfect order above all else. But humanity is looking at a false reality. The peace of the realm is a facade, a "tuned" illusion masking a mysterious phenomenon that is slowly causing the world to drift out of sync. When Saki suddenly returns, it isn't for a homecoming-it's an escape. Having discovered the dark secrets buried beneath the Citadel's laws, she has defied the King to protect the one thing the world considers a "logic error": her son. Now, mother and son are on the run, pursued by unknown enemies and hidden agendas that stretch into the stars. Together with a band of unlikely allies they meet along the way, Shiro must navigate a landscape of hidden truths and ancient phenomena. In a journey that will take them from the highest spires to the deepest mires, Shiro will realize that being "Untuned" isn't his weakness. In a world living on lies, the boy who doesn't fit the rhythm might be the only one who can see the truth-and the only one who can save a world that is literally coming apart at the seams. The board is set. The pieces are moving. The Untuning has begun.

In the ashes of the Great War, the races of Erdale gathered together in the land of demons to escape the chaos. There, they found books, an untold number of books transported from another world that formed the basis of a new nation. And when this secret nation is revealed to the world, it shall usher in the dawn of a new age. Secret Nation Chronicles is an isekai story where, instead of a teenager from another world uplifting civilization with modern knowledge, it's a lot of books from the other world about anything and everything being transferred. The inhabitants reading those books used the knowledge and built the modern civilization themselves, taking advantage of the fact that they also have magic. This book is a collection of stories surrounding the modern civilization already built from the knowledge that will eventually be revealed to the rest of the medieval fantasy world. Spin-off story set in the Wizards of the Otherworldly Court universe.

OUTLIER The System doesn't just want you to survive. It wants you to dominate. In a world where status is everything and your social standing is a death sentence, Han-gyul was a zero. Known by the cruel nickname "The Outlier," he was the statistical anomaly of worthlessness-a boy whose only talent was surviving the relentless bullying of the school's elite "Aces".

He is no longer just a victim; he is Outlier #001. Now, Han-gyul is forced into a high-stakes game of survival where the missions are mandatory and the penalty for failure is deletion. Overnight, his weak frame transforms, his senses sharpen, and a cold, predatory power begins to surge through his veins. As he navigates the brutal hierarchy of J-High and the dangerous "Grey Zone" districts, Han-gyul must decide: Will he use his new strength to end the cycle of bullying, or will he become the very monster the world taught him to be?

La Tierra ya no es un hogar, es una cáscara de metal oxidado que vaga por el vacío, un planeta-nave movido por motores continentales y la desesperación de miles de millones. Somos los parásitos del universo, los piratas que apagan soles para encender los nuestros. Cuando la flota humana llega a un nuevo mundo de océanos esmeralda, creen que será otra cosecha fácil. Pero se topan con El Eje, una civilización de depredadores biológicos que no conocen el miedo y cuya tecnología orgánica hace que nuestras armas de fuego parezcan juguetes de madera. Para evitar la aniquilación, los altos mandos recurren a los hermanos Graves: Silas ("S"): El cerebro. Un sociópata táctico que ve la galaxia como un tablero de números y probabilidades. Kael: El músculo. Un comandante de campo curtido en mil carnicerías, líder de un escuadrón de locos e inadaptados. En un movimiento desesperado, Silas clava el Arpón Continental en el núcleo del enemigo, encadenando ambos planetas en un abrazo mortal. Ahora, nadie puede huir. La guerra ya no se libra con flotas espaciales, sino en una base de cristal negro donde cada palabra es un engaño y cada tregua es una trampa. Dos mentes brillantes. Dos especies al borde del abismo. Una partida de ajedrez donde el primer error será el último.

She just stays - doing paperwork, locking memories in a bottom drawer, and quietly teaching the next generation how to survive. A slow, winding story about corporate loneliness, the weight of outliving everyone, and the small miracle of choosing to stay anyway.

"But if God truly exists... if He's really watching-then let Him judge me. Let Him decide whether I'm a mistake... or a miracle." In a world where Faith is power, warriors of God are granted Divine Armaments-legendary weapons from scripture, reforged for the modern age-to vanquish demons and purge corruption. But among them stands an anomaly. Born from both human and devil blood, Alberich Fultone should have been an abomination. Instead, he possesses Faith beyond human limits-a paradox that Heaven cannot accept and Hell refuses to ignore. Bound by his cursed blood yet wielding an extraordinary power, Alberich walks a path of contradiction, hunted by angels, demons, and the very Church he fights for. To control his unrivaled Faith, he must either conquer his demon side or be consumed by it. But in the end, one question remains: Can a devil truly serve God?

They spent their final year of high school being pushed around, but they weren't just taking hits-they were taking notes. They called it the Masterpiece: a cold, calculated plan to dismantle the school's most feared gang, expose the truth about Sarah Thompson, and walk away into a normal life. They thought the Farewell Party at the Westfield Palace would be their final victory lap. A clean break from the chaos. They were dead wrong. When the sirens fade and the "Masterpiece" spirals into a brutal, high-stakes brawl, the trio realizes they've accidentally stepped into a much deadlier food chain.
