A God of hope.

Heath Dollen was a man in his 40s who lived in a suburban complex in Lund, Sweden. He was lonely and spent most of his days tending to himself after an accident that had left him scarred for life. Heath had travelled throughout Europe and Asia, painting and writing avidly about his experiences. When he is not in his apartment, he does his best to give warmth to others around him, helping people around his neighbourhood, aiding in light labour, cleaning the environment, and donating much of his money to people he verified that required it. Heath saw the downtrodden teen Elias drop his phone on accident from the other side of the street. To help, he thought of buying a new phone for this young man. He introduced himself and after gaining their trust, Heath and Elias became good friends and Heath was even nicknamed 'uncle.' There, he was introduced to many games, specifically sandbox games. Heath heard of Games like Minecraft and Roblox, but after being introduced to 7 Days to Die, Cities: Skylines, Dwarf Fortress, Enshrouded, Going Medieval, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Vintage Story and more. Heath became an avid gamer while also gaining strength by replacing some of his joints with prosthetics and managing his exercises and diet. It was slow progress, but his life became more fulfilling than ever. Now he had a family to look forward to! But at one point, while Elias was helping with Heath's troubles, he spotted a man who appeared lost, walking across the street in traffic, yet was somehow never hit. Heath said aloud that they should be careful there and asked if they needed assistance. The man, that 'thing,' turned to him. Now walking towards Heath robotically, yet avoiding the vehicles like a phantom, they soon came upon him. Once close enough, its features were noticed: A beautiful, yet uncannily androgynous face, eyes that appeared too clear and glassy, and skin that was too perfect with no features of wrinkles or pores and no hair throughout. A voice that sounded harmonic with the world spoke, yet their mouth never moved. "Perfect." A melodic sound, one expected for a tenor, it captivated Heath but simultaneously scared those around him, then. . . Suddenly, Heath blacked out. Hearing the cry of Elias for him. He left this world.

Drag and drop: I will rewrite the JJk verse!

Rion Jukabe died the way he lived—pathetically. Fat, broke, and barely clinging to existence in a one-room apartment that smelled like failure, he'd gone to that bridge one last time. Not to jump—he'd never had the courage for that—but to think. To wonder if maybe, just maybe, there was something worth sticking around for. There wasn't. A slip. A fall. Cold water. Nothing. Then sunlight. Rion wakes up seventeen again, lean and healthy in a body that actually works, dropped into a world where monsters wear human skin and sorcerers command powers that bend reality itself. The Jujutsu Kaisen world—a hell of curses, politics, and people strong enough to level cities. And he has a System. Not the kind that hands out quests or levels. Something stranger. Something better. He sees reality differently now. Properties float around everything like translucent tags—[Sharpness] hovering over katanas, [Speed] clinging to sprinting sorcerers, [Malice] oozing from curses like black smoke. With a gesture, a thought, a pull of his hand, he can drag these properties free and drop them wherever he wants. Steal the durability from a building and wear it like armor. Rip the speed from a curse and give it to himself. Extract the trust from a relationship and watch it crumble. Take the technique from a sorcerer and make it his own. For the first time in two lifetimes, Rion has power. Real power. The kind that lets him choose who he wants to be instead of drowning in what the world made him. He'll become the strongest. He'll live with the freedom and comfort he never had. He'll take everything this world denied people like him. But the Jujutsu world doesn't let anyone do as they please. The higher-ups hoard control. The clans protect their bloodlines. The curses hunger. The balance demands sacrifice. Fine. If they won't let him have his peace, he'll drag this entire cursed system apart—property by property, power by power—until there's nothing left to stand in his way. This world gave him nothing. Now he'll take everything

The dragon's harem

What makes dragons strong? It's not their power or magic, but their mind. Arrogance, greed, Iron Will, and the lack of human restraints. What would happen if you threw such a creature into human society? Would they understand humans? What does love even mean to them? This is the situation that our MC, Arad Orion found himself in. A newborn dragon bringing "Might make Right" to the humanoids, but why? Due to an abnormal condition, the mighty void dragons are on the brink of extinction. Their bodies have suddenly started rejecting their kind. Due to that, Arad's mother dropped his egg into a forest where he could hatch safely, leaving him with a fragment of her consciousness and informing him of the condition of their race. From that point, his goal became clear. To save their race by either finding a cure for their condition or going the second route of making more void dragons. But, sadly, nothing is ever that easy. Finding a cure is almost impossible. Arad is still practically a newborn and cannot tap into the terrifying might of his race, and his rarity makes him a prime target for mages and scholars seeking to study the dying race. Dragons are arrogant, proud, and vicious. Yet those feeling extends to those whom they love. You who touched a dragon's love, Retribution is an insult, and life is a crime. Beware as merely existing draws the dragon's wrath. Follow Arad on his journey as he grows from a naive wyrmling to a grown dragon with enough wisdom and power to stand with the strongest of the world. *** If you liked the story, please support it with power stones and comments!
