Kryptonian God Among Supernaturals

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. Original Author: Ma La Liu Lian / 麻辣榴莲 Original Story Name: You don’t want god-level superpowers, so you choose the worst talent? / 神级异能你不要,你选最差天赋?

The Man They Had to Hide

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.

Urban immortal Ascension

Li Tianchen, the spoiled heir to the powerful Tianchen Group, lives a life of unchecked luxury, arrogance, and indulgence, believing wealth and status make him untouchable. One night, his casual humiliation of a quiet stranger in a bar sets in motion consequences far beyond his comprehension. Without threats or warnings, his family’s vast business empire begins to collapse—contracts vanish, assets are frozen, and long-standing allies abandon them. The downfall escalates into tragedy when masked assailants massacre his family. Li Tianchen survives only to witness his mother die protecting him, leaving him stripped of everything he once relied upon: power, money, and identity. Abandoned by friends and society, he wanders the streets as a broken man, haunted by guilt and loss. In despair and hatred, Li Tianchen forges a vow in his final days: if given another life, he will return to repay every wrong and seize true power—power that no wealth can buy. Death does not bring oblivion. Instead, his unyielding will draws the attention of a vast, indifferent force beyond life and death. Faced with the truth of his past arrogance and the promise of a crueler but greater path, Li Tianchen accepts the price without hesitation. The universe, vast and indifferent, seemed to pause. Somewhere beyond the veil of life and death, fate noted his determination. The scales of destiny, once tipped by arrogance, now waited for a force forged in suffering. Li Tianchen’s story, it seemed, was far from over and though the night was endless, the fire in his heart promised one thing: revenge, inevitable and absolute. One day, in a world that would tremble at his return, Li Tianchen would rise again—not as a naive heir, but as a force capable of rewriting destiny itself

Bastard’s Dominion

In the glittering shadows of a corporate empire, Evan Cole was the invisible son—the bastard heir hidden behind lies, scars, and silence. The Cole family built their fortune on secrets and blood, and Evan was just another loose end to tie up. At the annual gala, his father Victor raises a toast to "family." The champagne tastes like death. Poisoned. Betrayed. Heart stopped in a marble bathroom stall. Evan dies alone, twenty-three years of being the ghost finally over. But death has other plans. [Foreign neural interface detected.] [Nano-Intelligence Protocol initiating.] [Host condition: Terminal.] [Emergency authorization: EVAN_COLE_001.] NEXUS awakens in his veins—a self-evolving nano-system buried deep in his blood, forged in shadows the Coles never knew existed. It repairs his shattered heart, sharpens his senses to razor edges, floods his body with unnatural strength, and whispers one cold directive: Survival. Then Dominance. The family that tried to erase him now faces a predator they created. Julian’s smirk turns to terror. Victor’s empire starts to crack. Nora Thorne, the rival with eyes like slate and secrets darker than his own, watches from the sidelines—ally or hunter? Evan is no longer the discarded heir. He’s the glitch in their perfect system. Every upgrade costs something. Every kill feeds the machine inside him. And as the hunger grows, so does the question: Is he still human… or has the family finally birthed the monster they feared? In a world of chrome, betrayal, and corporate gods, one man will burn it all down. From the fighting pits to the penthouse thrones—revenge isn’t personal. It’s evolution.
