Night fell over the village. The beast's corpse had long since been dragged away, the people whispering prayers of gratitude to gods that never answered.
I sat alone in the shadows of my room, eyes half-closed, as glowing text still lingered before me.
[Quest Active: Survive. Observe. Integrate.
Warning: Anomaly detected. Monitoring in progress.]
The System had tried to cage me.
I pressed my palm against the wooden floorboards, whispering a thought.
Disintegrate.
The wood dissolved into dust, vanishing into the void. Another whisper.
Integrate.
The wood returned, perfectly restored, as if nothing had happened.
The System responded instantly.
[Action Detected: Reality Override
Error: Operation Undefined
Warning! World Stability at Risk]
I chuckled softly. World stability at risk? From a single plank of wood? How fragile you are.
Curiosity burned in me. What else could I erase?
I closed my eyes and focused inward—not on objects, but on concepts. On sensations.
Disintegrate… fear.
A cold shiver rippled through my chest. My heartbeat steadied. Every trace of instinctive dread—gone.
[Warning! Tampering with Abstract Variables Detected
Restriction Protocol: Initiated]
A sharp pain pierced my skull, like needles driving into my brain. The System's attempt at punishment.
I smiled through it. "So, you can hurt me. How interesting."
The pain faded quickly. Too quickly. It couldn't hold me.
A knock at my door interrupted my amusement.
"Hey, you in there?"
It was a boy. My age—or rather, this body's age. Untidy hair, dirt on his cheeks, the wide-eyed seriousness of an innocent fool.
I opened the door slightly, letting my gaze fall on him.
"I saw you earlier," he said, voice trembling with awe. "When the monster was chained… I think it was you, wasn't it?"
So someone had noticed.
I tilted my head, forcing a small, hesitant smile. "That's… impossible. I'm just a child."
His eyes lit up. "No, I know it was you! You saved us! Please—teach me! I want to be strong like you!"
Pathetic. So easily deceived.
But useful. Very useful.
"I'll… think about it," I murmured, letting my voice waver just enough to sound unsure.
The boy's expression brightened with hope. He bowed his head and ran off, no doubt fantasizing about his future greatness.
I closed the door and laughed. Low, sharp, twisted.
The System flared again.

The power enhances physical abilities but comes at a brutal cost: every use strains the body, causes recoil, and risks permanent damage. Most humans do not survive awakening. Kade does, but survival makes him a target.\n\nThe Council of Web Authority, a covert organization that regulates awakeners, moves to contain Kade under the command of Nyx Vale. At the same time, rogue awakeners—humans who reject control—emerge, led by veterans like Raze, who believe awakened power should rule openly rather than hide.\n\nAs Kade is forced into combat and training, he learns that strength without control leads to Web Fracture and eventual collapse. Power responds to emotion, making anger and fear dangerous allies. Each battle leaves lasting injuries, pushing Kade closer to losing control of himself.\n\nWhile the Council tightens its grip, independent factions rise across the world, and awakeners begin to appear openly. Ideological conflict erupts between regulation, freedom, and destruction of the old world order. Kade becomes a symbol none of them fully control.\n\nAs signs of Web Collapse surface, Kade faces the truth behind the Spiderball: it was never meant to create heroes, but to filter humanity through survival. In a world on the brink of exposure and war, Kade must decide whether power should be suppressed, controlled, or destroyed entirely.\n\nSpiderball is a long-form battle anime novel focused on human evolution, discipline, and consequence—where strength is earned through pain, restraint, and choice, and every victory leaves a scar.","pvNum":5213,"bookType":0,"checkLevel":15,"categoryType":5,"categoryId":70002,"categoryName":"Fantasy","coverId":1770342023985,"chapterCnt":21,"firstChapterId":"93954244624832169","lastChapterId":"94203866379248883","lastChapterName":"Chapter Twenty-One — Playback","lastChapterTime":1770979031000},{"bookId":"34942474508651805","bookName":"Insane Peerless Soul","authorName":"Sinha_Rahul_001","authorId":"34945631608720001","description":"This novel is base killer on earth. some reason he reconend Martial world. martial World similar cultivation world but. some things are not similar ,means levels. all level are 1 to 10 but they are not limit of martial artist.

That is, until an inexplicable event catapults him into Aethel Academy, a school as peculiar as its students: ogres, yōkai, werewolves, demons, and creatures from every mythology are the norm—making Renwick, a mere human, the strangest anomaly of all.\n\nBut the real chaos is only just beginning. When a mysterious vampire girl bites him, Renwick not only discovers a world beyond his wildest imagination, he also awakens an unstable, capricious power within himself. Suddenly, daily life at Aethel shifts from merely peculiar to hilariously complicated, packed with unexpected romantic entanglements, chilling mysteries, and—of course—epic battles that force him to confront and master his own terrifying transformation.\n\nTrapped between the halls of a monster academy and a newfound “predator” nature that refuses to be tamed, Renwick must navigate absurd situations, deadly dangers, and confused hearts. Is he destined to be just another pawn in this supernatural game of madness—or the beginning of a legend that will turn him into the unexpected Vampire God?\n\nJoin Renwick as he unleashes chaos at Aethel Academy, challenges his fate, and fights to survive… and maybe even find love along the way.","pvNum":3587,"bookType":0,"checkLevel":15,"categoryType":5,"categoryId":70002,"categoryName":"Fantasy","coverId":1770219758792,"chapterCnt":7,"firstChapterId":"94000488000841720","lastChapterId":"94204092267681680","lastChapterName":"The beginning!","lastChapterTime":1770979951000},{"bookId":"34948766300842905","bookName":"SSS-Ranked Trash Hero: I Was Scammed Into Being Summoned","authorName":"DanteCruz","authorId":"34954994908872501","description":"The Intergalactic Bureau of Change is an organization that helps certain people start over with their own Truck-kun delivery service to transport souls across dimensions.\n\nHiroshi Tanaka, a 28-year-old convenience store worker, meets one of their field agents.
