The Name They Gave Me

In the industrial stronghold of Kurogane Basin, a hidden-tunnel shinobi village built on discipline and surveillance, an orphaned boy with fog-gray eyes is raised under a name that isn’t his: Miroku Senden. The village took him in as a “ward,” gave him a crest, a squad, and a clean past—then quietly began watching him like a question that might someday become an answer. Miroku enters the academy as a controlled, novice fighter: rapid punch strings, a shortblade for quick slashes, light range tools, and a beginner burst-movement technique that drains him fast. His real talent isn’t raw power—it’s method. He learns to “arrange” fights with prepared tags, wire, timing, and positioning, turning small advantages into survival. Assigned to Unit Nine: Hollow Thread under the veteran sensei Kensha Madori, Miroku is taught that true strength isn’t flash—it’s recovery, discipline, and knowing when not to chase. When what should be simple low-rank missions reveal swapped route markers, missing intake keys, and a street crew paid to reroute Basin movement, Unit Nine discovers a deeper threat: someone is manipulating the village’s roads, reports, and response patterns with ledger-cold precision. The street calls him Latchman—a faceless planner who treats shinobi like pieces and missions like accounting. As sabotage escalates into a silent trap at the old sluice that even elite veterans walk into, the story widens through multiple POVs—cadets, captains, prisoners, and higher-ups—showing a world where the real battlefield is as much politics and information as it is steel and chakra. Now promoted under “temporary clearance” that’s really a leash, Unit Nine must operate in the narrow space between obedience and survival—while Miroku senses the worst truth of all: the enemy’s method feels uncomfortably familiar, and the village’s sealed history may have placed him at the center of a thread he never chose. Genre / hook: shinobi action + mystery + political tension, built in arcs with expanding POVs, where every mission rank can become an adventure and every quiet decision can start a war.

Dragon Bond Awakening

Deep inside lands ruled by Emperor Vortigern, where fear runs thick and dragons are said to have been wiped out long ago, a boy named Kai flees his ruined home. He moves fast through the dark edges of the known world, drawn toward the hushed trees of the Whisperwoods. It is there - half-starved, trembling - that he stumbles upon something impossible: a small creature made of smoke and shifting shadows, blinking at him like it has waited forever. This one does not burn or crush; instead, it bends sight itself, folding reality around its fragile form. Their meeting sparks an old force buried deep beneath memory - an unseen bond clicking into place between them, neither asked for nor understood. With every step forward, the connection tightens - Kai caught in its slow poison, shadows wrapping him like smoke, sharpening sight while dulling feeling. Though he pulls children from ruins, trains beside a sword-wielder who speaks in futures, builds shelter beneath broken trees, something inside wears thin, worn down by silence instead of screams. Once chased through mud and flame, now he stands still when others run, choices cracking under weight no one sees. The woods grow restless; whispers crawl on wind about scaled wings returning. Scouts mark trails near hidden walls, old words twist into new warnings, yet the hollow within hums louder each night. Power slips in quiet, promising control where guilt once tangled thoughts - mercy stumbles, promises turn stiff, right and wrong fold together like burnt paper. What wakes may wear his face, rule empty halls, leave only ash behind.

S-Rank Harem: I Became My Character with Extra Control Skill

Ryan, a programmer who had always been a failure with women and, because of his job, never had time for dating due to constant workplace exploitation. One month before the release of his company’s most ambitious RPG, he decided to take revenge by adding a secret “bug” to the game. A hidden skill called Debt. Every time the support character healed or buffed a heroine, a mandatory debt was generated. An order that had to be fulfilled. And if it wasn’t claimed, the skill would execute it automatically. The company discovered the code and punished him by forcing him to work without pay to fix it. Exhausted and on the verge of collapse, Ryan dies of a heart attack before he can remove the bug. But he awakens inside the game. Now he inhabits the body of the Rank B support in a party of Rank S heroines… and the Debt skill is still active. Ryan will have a significant advantage, because not only will he gain the normal experience and rewards from leveling up, but he will also receive the additional rewards granted by the Debt skill. With an advantage no one else possesses, Ryan must decide: Will he become a tyrant who manipulates his companions? Or will he use that power to survive, protect them, and become the only support capable of reaching S-Class hero rank? Because this time, he won’t let anyone exploit him again. What to expect: Character progression / Harem / R18 / Dark fantasy / Demon Lords / Worldbuilding / Multiple races / Fantastic creatures / Magic / LitRPG elements / No NTR.
