Surviving As An Anomaly In Another World

ItsNonsense
When Class 2-B of Katanja High School was summoned to the fantasy world of Aethermoor by a Saint in surprisingly little clothing, thirty-four students landed exactly where they were supposed to - a grand golden hall, trumpets blaring, crowds cheering, hero medals being handed out like candy. Haruki Sora landed face-down in a wasteland. No hall. No trumpets. No medal. Just grey cracked earth, ash in his hair, and the distant glow of a celebration he wasn't invited to somewhere on the horizon. To be fair - he wasn't that upset about it. While his classmates were being fitted for enchanted armor and assigned to save the world, Haruki was doing a quiet inventory of his situation. One half-eaten rice ball. One water bottle. His grandmother's folding knife. A knitting project he was three months into. And two voices in his head that had, moments before he regained consciousness, been debating whether to slit his throat "just to see what would happen." Perfectly normal. Absolutely fine. The voices - Sol, a Silver-tongued system with the energy of a disappointed butler who took the wrong job, and Rax, a Chaos system with the enthusiasm of a golden retriever who learned to yell - informed him, once he stopped fainting, that he had managed to land at the "exact midpoint" between the Human Dominion and the Demon Territories. A place called The Grey. A place no map bothered to name. A place every sane person avoided entirely. And because of that impossibly precise mistake, he hadn't received one system. He'd received two. Both starting at Tier 2. Both arguing constantly. Both absolutely convinced that their host was, in their own unique ways, a complete handful. His classmates got Tier 5, Tier 6, Tier 7. The class president Hana Mizuki received a Tier 7 that made the Saint herself raise an eyebrow. The class representative Ren Takahashi received a Tier 6 and immediately tried to use it indoors. They were given Hero Medals - gold crested, gleaming, and unbeknownst to them, tracked - and told they were chosen. Destined. The salvation of humanity. They were told to kill demons on sight. Not negotiate. Not question. Just eliminate. Nobody mentioned that the last Demon Lord died two centuries ago. Nobody mentioned that the demons haven't started a war since. Nobody mentioned that the Saint who summoned them - serene, composed, draped in divine authority - has spent decades making sure the war "appears" ongoing, because a Saint without a war to justify is just a woman with wings and a lot of opinions. Haruki didn't know all of this yet either. What he knew was that he was hungry, his systems wouldn't stop bickering, and there was a grey tuber in the cracked earth nearby that his grandmother's foraging instincts were telling him was probably edible if cooked right. So he made a fire. And he cooked the tuber. And he sat in the ruins of a civilization that history forgot - a people who once lived in the boundary between human and demon and called it "home" - and ate his meal and looked at the grey sky and thought: Alright. It's not great. But it's not unsalvageable. This is not a story about the chosen hero. It's not about the highest tier, the grandest destiny, or the most powerful system. It's about the one student nobody summoned, who learned a little about everything from a grandmother who believed that was enough, wandering through a world that keeps trying to make him its secret weapon while he keeps trying to find a quiet corner, a decent meal, and maybe — eventually — a small house somewhere not terrible.

Kaleidoscopic☆DxD

He knew his life was supposed to be simple. He was supposed to live normal lives, get a normal education, perhaps someday give up the foolish notion of building his own harem and settle down with a nice girl. It would have been nice... It could have gone on forever. Then some S&M-wearing Fallen Angel shit came around and messed everything up.

Vile Dominion

(There are few chapters which has indentation issues, due to the site glitch. I would recommend the readers to read the novel on Royals Road if you find any difficulty. I have tried fixing them, but some chapters retain those problems) In a world where the heavens themselves weave intricate schemes, Li Gang is reborn into the brutal cultivation realm of the Divine Spirit World. Here, power is absolute, and the strongest warriors and immortals manipulate fate, treating mortals and weaker cultivators as mere pawns in their grand designs. Armed with the memories of his past life and a mind sharper than any blade, Li Gang quickly realizes that raw strength alone is not enough to survive. Every sect, clan, and faction hides venomous plots, and even disciples are mere tools for their masters' ambitions. The path to power is paved with betrayal, deception, and blood. But Li Gang is no ordinary pawn. With unparalleled intellect and an unwavering will, he begins to turn the tide—navigating deadly conspiracies, outwitting ancient masterminds, and twisting their own schemes against them. Whether through manipulation, ruthless strategy, or sheer defiance, he refuses to be controlled. Yet, the deeper he delves into the world's secrets, the more terrifying the truth becomes. The so-called "Immortals" are not as invincible as they claim. They, too, are caught in a game far greater than he ever imagined. The true masterminds lurk in the shadows, pulling the strings of even the highest cultivators. To break free, Li Gang must not only rise to power but shatter the very foundations of this world’s control. Can he outscheme the schemers and become the ultimate ruler, or will he, too, fall victim to the grand design? In a world of lies, only the sharpest mind reigns supreme. (Some grammatical errors at the beginning chapters. It is fixed later on!)

Marvel: God of Spotlight, The Homelander

"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.
