Riyura Shiko isn't your average transfer student-he's a walking thunderclap in a school uniform, armed with a red bow tie, gravity-defying purple hair, and the kind of energy that could power a small city. After a catastrophic incident involving pudding, a ferret, and one tragically heroic trampoline, Riyura is relocated to the halls of Jeremy High in hopes of a "fresh start." The problem? Wherever Riyura goes, normality checks out early. From the moment he bursts through the school gates-shouting greetings at trees, challenging basketball players to dribble pineapples, and composing lunch-table operas for his dumplings-Jeremy High becomes a whirlwind of laughter, embarrassment, and improbable friendship. Yet beneath the slapstick chaos beats a restless heart. Riyura's outrageous confidence hides a kid who's terrified of being ordinary, and his unstoppable antics are his way of reminding everyone-especially himself-that joy still matters. As his classmates slowly learn to see past the absurdity, they discover a spark they didn't know they needed: the courage to be strange, sincere, and fully alive. The Names Riyura Shiko! is a high-energy shonen comedy packed with ridiculous stunts, heartfelt surprises, and the occasional flying pineapple. It's a story about finding belonging not by fitting in-but by blowing the doors off normal and dancing through the confetti that follows. And it is highly unfunny... because it does not aim to be funny. It aims to be as stupid as possible to the point where it annoys the viewer. Because being funny ain't my middle name, because why would I want that! - Sincerely Locke Weisz... :))

Bound to a mysterious System, he must collect lost artifacts while being hunted by Jiang Li, a mysterious ruler who has waited ten million years for her greatest rival to return. One face, three souls. When mercy fails, will he save the world as a Buddha, or destroy it as a Demon?

"Have you ever seen life beyond death? Of course, you haven’t. But I have. I’ve seen a world beyond imagination, a place where magic and technology coexisted in harmony. A world teeming with life, where humans, elves, vampires, and countless other races thrived. It was a paradise, a dream made real. This time, I was given something I never had before, a family, a home. For once, I believed the cruelty of my past life was nothing more than a distant memory. I thought... perhaps this was redemption. Everything was perfect. Until they appeared." (this is NOT a wish fulfillment fanfic) (the story starts many generations before 'The Eminence in Shadow' plot takes place but we wouldn't take too long to get there, it's just for some original world building that needs to be done.)

In this world, the soul is power. And power is absolute. Some seek to purify it. Others want to rip it out, inject it, crush it in order to possess it. But he can see it. And devour it. This is the story of Abel, a child shattered by the loss of his city and his loved ones, who becomes an experimental subject in a complex that transforms bodies into living weapons. Plunged into the depths of his being, he returns to himself... changed. Something inhabits him. Someone. As the organization responsible for his suffering expands its hold in the shadows and their victims multiply, Abel sets himself a new goal. He no longer wants to survive. He wants to understand. To take revenge, to avenge them. Even at the cost of his own humanity. In a world where souls can be tampered with, where Essence shapes empires and pantheons, many destinies converge and one truth remains: those who play god will burn in his flames.

In a universe where power is decided at birth, worlds are divided into nobles and commoners and Ethan was born on a planet that doesn’t even deserve to be noticed. On the lowest-ranked world, humans awaken at fifteen, bound by rigid limits imposed by bloodline, destiny, and fate itself. Most gain insignificant abilities. Some gain nothing at all. Ethan expects no miracle. But when he steps into the Temple of Awakening, something ancient stirs, something that was never meant to awaken on a lower world. The System records his awakening… then hesitates. In a universe ruled by elite worlds, origin planets, and cosmic bloodlines, Ethan’s existence becomes an anomaly, one that threatens the balance between fate and free will. To rise, he must challenge the limits of evolution itself. To survive, he must walk a path no human was ever meant to tread. This is not a story of destiny chosen. This is the story of destiny broken.

In a world ruled by gods and immortals, a powerless orphan inherits the knowledge and curse of the fallen God of Death. Given only thirty years to live, he must grow stronger, uncover the secrets of the heavens, and defy the gods themselves. With time running out and destiny against him, his journey begins to break the curse and restore balance to a world controlled by divine power.

In a modern world where art is meant to be harmless, a hidden government project exists—Project Canvas. Some artists can draw creations that come to life, powered by fragments of their own soul. Minoru Onigashi and his twin sister Nanakou were born with this forbidden ability and ordered by their mother to keep it hidden. Years later, a single mistake exposes them. They awaken inside a secret government facility disguised as an elite art school, home to The Canvas Project, a covert program that trains gifted artists as living weapons to maintain global order. Forced to join, the twins learn that every creation has a cost. The larger the drawing, the more soul it consumes. Lose too much, and memories begin to disappear. Lose everything, and so do you. As Minoru and Nanakou are drawn deeper into the project, they uncover the existence of an extremist cult that believes only artists deserve to rule the world, and a darker truth tied to their mother’s disappearance. Caught between control and chaos, loyalty and freedom, the twins must decide whether art should be a tool of justice… or a weapon of revolution. In a world painted with lies, some truths are better left undrawn.

A king who loved his people. A husband who swore to protect his family. A man willing to sacrifice everything—even his humanity. King Elandor of Kaelon has everything a man could desire: a realm that worships him, a wife who touches his very soul, and a future bathed in light. Yet in the shadows of his own city, strings are being pulled. Not against his realm—against his heart. When darkness strikes, Elandor faces a choice no man should ever have to make: Accept. Or become. There is a way to grow stronger than his pain. A way to crawl into the bodies of his enemies, hollow them from within, steal their strengths. A way to become immortal—yet the more he takes, the more the king dissolves into ash. And from that ash, something older awakens.
