magic

Born into a poor family with no magical background, he grew up skinny, weak, and constantly looked down on. Unlike the gifted students around him, he possessed no magical talent, only relentless determination. But his greatest enemy was never his circumstances. It was his closest friend. The one he trusted most, who stood by him, consoled him, and swore loyalty. What he didn't know was that behind every kind word, his friend was already scheming, poisoning everything he had built. Behind his back, that same friend spread false rumors, manipulated others against him, and slowly destroyed his reputation. And when he was at his lowest, that friend stole the one person who made him feel understood, his girlfriend, and used her betrayal as the final blow. Rumors spread that he slept with women for money. People were disgusted. Friends turned away. Strangers sneered. His reputation was left in ruins before he ever had a chance to defend it. At the Scholars' University, he worked harder than anyone else. Yet no matter how much effort he gave, he remained painfully average, crushed by stress, humiliation, and betrayal. When his miserable life finally ends, he expects nothing. Instead, he wakes up in the past. This time, he comes back with something no one expected him to have. The full picture. The names. The truth behind every smile that was never real. Will he seek revenge on the friend who ruined him… or will he rise so high that betrayal can never touch him again?

What happens when a perfectly normal life begins to derail from its schedule? For Aurelia Thorne, it starts with small things — flinching at heat, vivid dreams that feel more like memories, an aching nostalgia for places she has never been… and scars on her body from accidents she never survived. As her orderly world fractures, Aurelia is forced to confront a truth far older — and far crueler — than she ever imagined. And for Rowan Valemore, who believes attachment is overrated and affection is a liability; he starts to question everything he's ever known because once he meets her, his well-built control begins to slip faster than he can hold himself. Because some lives are not lived once. And some loves refuse to die. --- Please vote for me guys, and I also hope you guys enjoy the book.

In a world of magic and cultivation, Han Jin is a master of physics. After dying in a high-voltage accident on Earth, cynical electrical engineer Han Jin transmigrates into the body of Ling Jin—a "trash" noble with shattered spirit veins in a world where lightning is feared as a divine curse. Shorthanded and broken, his only ally is Tai-Zhu, the grumpy, reincarnated soul of the fallen Lightning God living inside his mind as a System. While others spend lifetimes meditating on "spirit flow," Jin uses his knowledge of circuits, grounding, and electromagnetism to hack the laws of cultivation. Using silver solder to repair his shattered veins and engineering logic to weaponize the heavens, he begins a "heretical" rise to power. The Great Clans call it divine wrath. Jin just calls it a closed loop. "Magic is just science without a circuit. I’m here to build one" —Han Jin ___ The smell of ozone was the first thing Jin noticed. It was a sharp, metallic scent that reminded him of his final moments in the Seattle rain, reaching for a conductor that had no business being live. Then came the pain. It wasn't a dull ache; it was as if someone were threading white-hot copper wire through his veins. Jin opened his eyes and immediately wished he hadn't. Above him, the sky wasn't blue. It was a bruised purple, swirling with clouds that looked like angry ink blots. "Great," he croaked, his voice sounding like sandpaper on gravel. "I'm in hell. And hell has a terrible weather forecast." "It is not hell, you arrogant biped," a voice boomed—not in his ears, but directly against the inside of his skull. "It is the Azure Peak. And you are currently ruining my favorite crater." Jin scrambled backward, his limbs feeling heavy and uncoordinated. He wasn't wearing his reflective work vest anymore. Instead, he was clad in charred, silk robes. His hands were smaller, the callouses of a forty-year-old engineer replaced by the soft skin of a teenager. Boom. A bolt of violet lightning streaked from the heavens, striking a tree mere inches from his feet. The wood didn't just catch fire; it vaporized. "Okay," Jin said, his heart hammering a frantic rhythm against his ribs. "Hallucination. High-voltage induced psychosis. Just close your eyes and wait for the paramedics." [System Initialization: 1%] [Scanning Soul Compatibility... Warning: User sarcasm levels exceed recommended parameters.] [Linking to the 'Will of the Storm'...] "Listen closely, boy," the voice returned, now tinged with a weary impatience. "I am Tai-Zhu. Or I was. Now, I am the only thing keeping your heart from exploding. You have been chosen by the lightning—mostly because you were the only one nearby with a basic understanding of circuits. Don't make me regret this." Jin looked at his palms. Tiny arcs of blue electricity danced between his fingers. He felt a strange, magnetic pull toward the clouds above. For the first time in two lives, he didn't just feel the power—he understood the flow. "A system?" Jin muttered, a slow, dangerous grin spreading across his face. "Fine. But if I'm doing this, we're doing it my way. No more 'Heaven's Will' garbage. We're grounding this operation."

I had just finished one of the best games I have ever played, only to look up and find I was no longer in my room, but kneeling in the bloody sand of a colossal, sun-baked fighting arena. How did this happen? How did things go from playing a video game to being transported into the body of a background character within the game, who was exonerated and abandoned due to not having as much magical potential as the rest of the family? …A character who was doomed to die a very horrible death right at the beginning of the game?

In the monster-plagued Heian era, Yorimitsu was born to be a sacrifice. Marked by a spiral omen and a face split between youth and age, Minamoto no Yorimitsu was a "bad omen" sold into slavery by his own blood. For years, he was the plaything of the sadistic Minakaze clan, eventually thrown to the deep mountains as expendable fodder for the yōkai. But he didn't die. Saved by a legendary mountain witch, Yorimitsu spent years forging his body and mastering a terrifying, dormant sorcery. Yet, just as he neared the peak of his power, his sanctuary became a slaughterhouse. His master was consumed by a demonic rot, and in a final, tragic confrontation, Yorimitsu was forced to trade his life to save her soul. Now, Yorimitsu has opened his eyes to find himself ten years old again—bound in chains and back in the carriage that sold him to hell. He has the memories of a grandmaster. He has the hunger of a demon. And this time, he won’t just survive the yōkai or the clans that betrayed him; he will hunt them until the world is paved with their bones.

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.

I spent eight years fighting cancer. Lost my hair, lost my strength, and eventually… lost the fight. And just as the darkness took me... Ding! {Cronos Protocol initializing… Injecting Affinity: Time … Innate Affinity detected… INFINITY?!} So yeah. I died, got isekai’d, and immediately broke the System so badly it started arguing with me. Too late, buddy. For I am alive! And not bald! And I'm gonna make it count. Even got a cosmic Affinity no one’s supposed to have, cool Time Magic, and Infinite Mana Regen. Which is good, because the world is collapsing faster than my old immune system. Because apparently… Eldritch monsters are straight-up falling from the sky. Gods are answering prayers a little too literally. And a 3000-year-old organization is hunting me because I “stole” two of their Chimeras. (Yeah, I’m keeping them.) While I… just wanted to have fun. Nah, I didn’t die of cancer and got isekai’d just to roll over for fate again. Let come who may… I’ll beat them all the same.

Hyoga is a seventeen-year-old boy born into a bloodline incapable of using magic, abandoned by his parents and raised by his grandfather in a medieval fantasy world where talent defines worth. Training as a swordsman at a knight academy, he lives on the edge of society, unseen and underestimated. After his grandfather’s sudden death, Hyoga discovers a forbidden relic hidden away for centuries: an eye that once belonged to Kagetsu, the Hero of Slaughter—a legendary figure who defeated the Demon King a thousand years ago, then turned against humanity itself. When the relic fuses with Hyoga, Kagetsu’s soul awakens within him. As the sinful hero begins to reclaim control over Hyoga’s body, the boy is forced into a brutal inner conflict against a man history called a savior but reality remembers as a mass murderer. Caught between inherited guilt and his own will, Hyoga must decide whether to resist the hero’s return—or become the vessel that brings an ancient catastrophe back into the world.
