An accident opened his third eye, granting him a pair of miraculous X-ray vision. From then on... in the antique world, he became the hottest king of bargain hunting; in the medical world, he was the most heaven-defying...

“This is only the beginning of a far greater universe—one built on violence and mystery. (Don’t worry… there is fan service, but only a little.)”

In a city where status decides visibility, Kang Doyun exists by design in the margins. Seoul is filled with men who work hard, speak carefully, and disappear the moment they are no longer needed. Doyun is one of them. A contract worker with no name worth remembering, he survives by being reliable, discreet, and invisible. He does not chase ambition. He does not demand recognition. He understands the rules of a world that rewards those already standing above it. Then he is chosen. Not publicly. Not proudly. But quietly, and with conditions. Doyun becomes a man who is allowed close to power, yet never acknowledged by it. Useful, but replaceable. Desired, but hidden. His proximity to elite women and closed rooms does not elevate his status. It exposes how low it truly is. Every interaction is measured. Every mistake carries a cost. Every advantage comes with a leash. In a society where reputation is currency and visibility is risk, being chosen does not mean being valued. As Doyun navigates the cold geometry of Seoul’s professional elite, he is forced to confront a brutal truth: comfort can be more dangerous than failure. Remaining hidden is safer, but it will also erase him. Rising means loss, scrutiny, and standing alone when protection is withdrawn. There is no shortcut upward. No public claim. No system that hands him power. Only decisions that slowly change how the world reacts when his name is spoken. The Man They Had to Hide is a male-oriented urban psychological novel about status, restraint, and the price of being close to power without belonging to it. A slow-burn journey through elite society where success is not defined by who wants you, but by whether you can stand when they no longer hide you.

SYSTEM INITIALIZING There was hope to sing again.

In 2030, humanity faced its first true collapse…not by war, but by the sudden invasion of Nightcrawlers, creatures emerging from darkness itself with the desire to devour sunlight at all cost for their evolution. But, they could not absorb it directly since it was as deadly to them as to a shadow under the noonday sun. They could only absorb the sunlight from lifeforms or through signing a nocturnal contract to possess their bodies, providing them with direct sunlight immunity. Within twelve hours, over four billion people perished as Earth was split between eternal night and day. Just as extinction loomed, Holy Light Pillars descended from the heavens, purging one thousand cities from Nightcrawlers and offering humanity sanctuary under their divine light. A century later, in the Heliodor Region, an innocent child found his world turned upside down after two mysterious nightcrawlers invaded his home, slaughtered his parents, and ripped his eyes out of their sockets, leaving him permanently connected to the Shadow Dimension, the home ground of Nightcrawlers. Was it just a random feeding session for them, a planned assassination, or it goes deeper than this? Follow Levi’s journey as he weaves between darkness and light, chasing the truth hidden in both.

When Matthew comes to himself, he finds himself in his past self. As he contemplates the advantages of traveling back in time and how rich he'll become by copying future novels, songs, and business ventures, he realizes from the conversations of those around him that this world isn't his old one, and that instead of going back in time, he's transmigrated to another. A world where people have the opportunity to gain superpowers and devour devil fruits upon becoming adults. Matthew manages to obtain the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit from the Holly Land, where people gain their superpowers. However, after obtaining the Devil Fruit while he was observing others entering and exiting the Sacred Realm, he encountered a strange sight. Someone got Kryptonian Bloodline! "Why does everyone treat the Kryptonian Bloodline like a useless power? Oh, in this world, sunlight doesn't reach Earth. So, doesn't anyone know how the Kryptonian body is strengthened?" At that moment, Matthew makes a decision that will change the fate of the world he finds himself in. "Hey, can you exchange your Kryptonian Bloodline for my Flame Flame Fruit?" No one could understand why Mathew did that, but Matthew had a completely different thought. "So what if the sun's rays don't reach this world? I'm the only one who knows how to strengthen the Kryptonian body. As long as I know what I need, it won't be too hard to find. And then humanity will meet SUPERMAN." ---------- I do not own Superman or any of the other mentioned creations. This is a fanfiction. ---------- This is a translated story.
