When the world's lifespans become visible countdowns, Ethan Cross inherits the only exchange that trades in time itself. At 22, Ethan Cross is drowning in debt, his mother dying with 180 days left on her clock. Then a subway explosion changes everything. As flames consume the train, a blood-soaked pocket watch activates the Karma Scale System—and suddenly, he can see everyone's remaining lifespan floating above their heads. Three seconds. That's all he has left. But the terrorist beside him? Five minutes. Ethan Cross makes his first trade: your life for mine. The wound in his gut heals instantly. The terrorist crumbles to dust. Welcome to Pawnshop No.13, where vampires buy sunlight immunity, cultivators trade centuries for power, and gods mortgage their divinity. Ethan Cross doesn't just sell time—he rewrites fate itself. But his mother's illness isn't natural. She's marked by the Chrono Council, a higher-dimensional civilization that harvests entire worlds like cattle. To save her, Ethan Cross must do the impossible: bankrupt Hell, monopolize Heaven, and challenge the gods who treat humanity as disposable batteries. The price of eternity? Everything. In a universe where time is currency, Ethan Cross will buy, sell, and steal his way to godhood—one second at a time. Because when you can see death coming, the only question is: whose clock runs out first?

Han scrapes a desperate existence from the trash heaps at the edge of a world where magic is harvested from monstrous beasts and sold by corporate titans like Dawn Enterprise. When he’s caught trespassing, he’s offered a way out: sign a contract to be the fifth member of a legendary hunting party for 20 missions, and earn an "armament"—a magical artifact that grants the powerless a chance to rise. Blinded by hope and illiteracy, Han signs. He soon learns his party is a farce. His teammates are powerful, resentful professionals, and their leader, the radiant and cruel Third Light, treats them all as disposable props. The hunts are not for glory, but for gathering specific, rare beast shards. As Han endures mockery, terror, and near-death, he realizes he isn't a hunter. He’s the pack mule, carrying the components of a ritual he cannot comprehend. When the ritual is complete, it rips open a path to a forgotten castle, the prison of Azeru, the Sacred Soul Beast—a majestic, ancient dragon bound not by chains, but by his own unbreakable oaths. Han’s contract was never for an armament. It was a bill of sale. He is the "willing slave" delivered to Azeru in exchange for one of the dragon’s sacred scales. Abandoned by Third Light, Han expects a fate worse than death. Instead, he finds not a monster, but a lonely, principled sovereign. Azeru, who despises humanity’s cruelty, shows Han a devastating kindness, reshaping his own divine form to accommodate his frightened, mortal "guest." In Azeru’s gilded cage, Han learns the true history of power: of fallen kingdoms, of the avarice of Third Light’s father, the entity called Daystar, and of a duty so heavy it can paralyze a god. When the time comes for Azeru to pay his debt, he does not give Han up. Instead, he bequeaths to him the last relic of the kingdom he once served: The King's Crown. It is not an armament of brute force, but one of sovereign will and soul-deep authority, a fragment of a lost age's majesty now fused with Han's own desperate spirit. With the Crown burning on his brow and a dragon's bittersweet farewell at his back, Han steps back into the world. His goal is no longer survival, but revenge. He will hunt the hunters. He will make Third Light and the shadowy Dawn Enterprise answer for the lives they commodified. But the Crown is a beacon. In a world where power is the only currency, a treasure that once commanded kingdoms draws every predator, mercenary, and hidden power from the shadows. As Han stalks his prey, greater hunters begin to stalk him. He must learn to wield a crown meant for kings while living like a fugitive, navigating a web of ancient grudges and fresh betrayals, where every ally might covet the power on his head.

Aegon Targaryen was meant to become the Dragonbane, a broken king crowned in ashes, remembered only for the extinction of dragons and the slow decay of House Targaryen born of the Dance. But fate has erred. Armed with knowledge of what is yet to come, Aegon rises amid ruin: his mother’s enemies still draw breath, the Greens’ poison festers in court and council, and traitors, lords, and would-be kings circle like carrion crows. If House Targaryen is to survive, it cannot return to what it was. It must rise as it was always meant to be... unyielding, unchallenged, and forged in fire and blood. Note- This is a translation

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Lee Jun-woo was a nobody—bullied in his past life, then transmigrated into a webnovel as Kang Ye-jun, a pathetic villain destined to be the protagonist's stepping stone. For 100 days, he endured beatings and humiliation to awaken the EX-rank talent: Absolute Counter Evolution. Now, he's done being a punching bag. Every attack makes him stronger. Every opportunity the protagonist seeks? Jun-woo steals it first. Every heroine destined to fall for the hero? He'll claim them instead. The world's fate favors protagonists? Jun-woo will shatter that fate with his bare hands. Kim Si-woo, the Heaven's Chosen One with the SS-rank Emperor's Heavenly Body, thinks he's destined for greatness. But Jun-woo has other plans. "Your opportunities? Mine. Your heroines? Mine. Your destiny? I'll steal that too." In a world of Hunters, Gates, and cultivation, only one question matters: What happens when the villain has a system designed to destroy the protagonist? --- [System Activation: Reversal Points - 0] [Mission: Steal everything the protagonist holds dear] [Reward: Become stronger than the Heaven's Chosen One] [Failure: Death by protagonist's hands] The reversal has begun.

My father is the Champion of the Donghuang League, and my mother is a world-class Pokémon Breeder.

[System: Survival is mandatory. Dignity is optional.] Kaito Arisawa died as he lived—losing to a "Natural 1" luck check during a 72-hour strategy game marathon. Now, he’s woken up as Julian von Andechs-Merania, a minor noble in the Holy Roman Empire. The catch? Julian is a scripted "side-character" destined to be killed off There is no academy to protect him. No destiny that guarantees survival. Romance exists, but only if he live long enough to earn it.

Here, her oath is not just a promise— It is her identity. And Terra may break it… or give it new meaning.

In the Chaos City of Nolan Continent, there's a peculiar restaurant. Here, elves have to share tables with dwarves, orcs are strictly forbidden from making noise, dragons can only sit around the small square in front of the restaurant, and demons even need to bring their own special stools... Yet, despite these bizarre rules, a long line forms outside the restaurant every day. Elves eat skewers without regard for etiquette, dragons huddle around a hotpot with ladles in hand, and demons munch on adorable dumplings... "The food here is unlike anything else on the continent! This owner is a genius!" one customer commented, then secretly glanced towards the entrance: "And, whatever you do, don't even think about kidnapping the owner or trying to dine and dash, or you'll die a horrible death." "Eat and pay, or I'll kill you all." a cute little girl said in a sweet, childish voice, her gaze falling on a nearby dragon, causing the five or six meter tall dragon to shiver.

New Olympus doesn’t let go easily. And the more Nico survives, the more it starts to shape him into something it approves of. Will he escape while he’s still human… or will the world consume him first?
