I Thought I Can Live As Simple Human

Danny is an *Ancient Demi High Human Alpha*, also known as the *Luminaries Primordial Alpha*, a being who has lived for countless millennia. His magical power are vast, yet he chooses to use only simple abilities in daily life — super speed, strength, defense, regeneration, flight, invisibility, teleportation, and even instant cash when needed. Extremely cautious, he always scans his surroundings for witnesses or hidden cameras before using magic. Despite the ease with which he could become a tycoon, he finds such power boring. Instead, he prefers to live quietly, low key, and experience the modern world as an ordinary human. What the world calls magic… Danny remembers as infancy. He existed before structured mana systems, before academies, before ranking pillars tried to categorize power into numbers. In an age where reality was raw and unfiltered, he was not a student of magic — he was one of the forces that shaped how magic learned to behave. Fragments of ancient civilizations still carry echoes of him in myths: a silent traveler, a witness to collapses, a guardian who intervened only when extinction stood at the door. Entire bloodlines unknowingly descend from moments where he chose to spare a city instead of letting history erase it. But immortality breeds a unique fatigue. After watching empires rise and rot in repeating patterns, Danny stopped searching for meaning in dominance. The modern era fascinates him not because it is powerful, but because it is fragile. Humans pretending to control forces they barely understand amuse him more than any war ever did. The academy is not a goal. It is entertainment. A controlled ecosystem where ambition, fear, pride, and desperation collide in predictable ways. To him, it is a living experiment — a place to observe how this generation dances with power. Yet beneath his boredom lies instinct. Danny recognizes movements others cannot see: hidden organizations shifting pieces, forbidden rituals resurfacing under new names, cult structures repeating ancient mistakes he watched destroy worlds before. He does not intervene immediately. He never does. He waits. Because history has taught him one rule: Civilizations reveal their true nature only when they believe no god is watching. And Danny has mastered the art of pretending to be human long enough to let them forget. ---

The World Chose Heroes — Blood Chose Me

“Free me from this bind that tortures me. If you do, I will give you my everything—Love that does not fade. Power that bends the world. Authority that makes others kneel without knowing why. Bring me back my freedom, and I swear—I will be yours completely." ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Additional tags: #SlowBurn #NoNtr #NoBl #NoYuri Story Synopsis: Summoned to another world as “Heroes,” Akiha Kageyama, and his childhood friend Fumika Nakamura, are abandoned almost immediately thanks of their low Rank—left powerless, penniless, and forgotten in a world that values strength above all else. But Akiha is hiding a dangerous secret. Through a Blood-sealed Covenant with a sealed Primordial being, his body structure has changed. He is no longer fully human. Sunlight burns him, blood calls to him, and an invisible system watches his every step—offering overwhelming power at a terrifying price. Akiha is given a choice: slowly lose control… or form a Crimson Covenant that binds blood and soul, one that can only be formed through deep bons and trust, or else—the world would turns against him. Fumika chooses to stand beside him anyway. Together, they starts their journey as the lowest of the low—F-Rank adventurers—taking on menial quests by night, hunting monsters, gathering herbs, and struggling to survive in a world that doesn’t care about heroes who fail. Yet, beneath the quiet beginnings, lies something far more dangerous: a sealed queen of calamity watching with interest, a system that rewards obsession and sacrifice, and a bond that may turn salvation into damnation. This is not a story about saving the world. It’s a story about staying human—when the world, the system, and your own blood are trying to make you something else entirely. Note: Every lead characters in this story was already 18—legal age (Akiha and Fumika are at the end of their third year of highschool before getting Isekai'd).
