Neo-Veridian is a city of impossible perfection—a "mathematical paradise" built on the ashes of a long-forgotten war. Here, the “Bio-Synth” AIs look just like us—think, feel, and even bleed like humans. They study in our schools, work beside us, and mimic our tears. Most have forgotten the war that shaped them, but Kael hasn’t. Haunted by the trauma of a horrific event from ten years ago—the taste of copper and salt still lingering in his mouth—Kael lives a life trapped between the living and the dead. He works two grueling shifts, hides in the shadows, and abides by one iron-clad rule: Never touch the machines. But then comes the rain. Lilith is broken, discarded, and bleeding “human” blood on the riverbank. She’s a “Free AI”—a malfunctioned relic of the system, discarded like trash. Kael should walk away, just like everyone else. His instincts scream to leave her to rot, and his memories of a family lost to the war demand he walk away. But instead, he carries her home. What follows is a suffocating “slow burn” through the neon-lit grime of the Sump. Between the sterile shifts at a luxury restaurant and the flickering lights of his 20x20 apartment, Kael is forced to confront a terrifying intimacy with the very thing he’s always feared. As Lilith heals, the walls between human and machine begin to crumble, and Kael must face a question he can no longer avoid: Can he love the very monster that embodies his greatest nightmare? Or is the hunger inside him finally ready to consume them both?

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.

The only thing standing between a dead-end job and football glory? A holographic interface and a lot of hungover plumbers. Danny Walsh is going nowhere.

Some call it the “Age of the Supernatural.” In the ten years following the advent of this era, various superhumans emerged like mushrooms after the rain.

However, after being injured, Li Dong’s qi sense weakened drastically, making it difficult for him to use martial arts.

Animals that people once loved suddenly turned into magical beasts and turned the world upside down. With the mines destroyed and later occupied by magical beasts, humanity was starved of the resources needed to continue fighting them. Fortunately, beings from another world lent their power to humans in the form of avatars. Every human would awaken an avatar and use its power to grow stronger and fight against the beasts. Yet Auric found himself unable to awaken a single avatar. An avatar wasn’t supposed to leave the body of its partner, but his father’s avatar—the black dragon—mysteriously appeared before him, unraveling a series of secrets he had never known before. Did he really fail to awaken an avatar? What exactly was an avatar? Did they really come from another world?

Youth is a lie. Youth is sin. To those who glorify youth, lies, crimes, secrets, and failures are nothing more than seasoning. If failure is also considered part of youth, then those who fail to make friends must have fully experienced youth… right? And so, the self-proclaimed “kind-hearted” Matsueda Azusa made a decision— He would help all normies properly enjoy their youth. As for those lovey-dovey campus couples, reeking of sweetness… Keep a close eye on your partners. Because— Matsueda Azusa is coming.

In 2017, on the bench of the Paris Saint-Germain youth training camp, 17-year-old Oliver Thorne clenched the notice of expulsion in his hand. This Sino-British teenager, who was evaluated by the director of Paris Saint-Germain as lacking potential, was kicked out because of his average football talent. But the turning point of fate was hidden in the small German town of Hoffenheim, a mid-level Bundesliga team that extended an olive branch to him. Under Nagelsmann's coaching, Oliver tore off the label of "mediocrity" with almost self-abuse diligence. From the miracle of the dark horse in the Champions League to Arsenal's Premier League summit, he continued to conquer fans with the attitude of a new king, and staged a real version of the cool article on the football green field: the Champions League lore, the North London Derby single game... This prodigal teenager who was once abandoned by Paris later became the savior of English football, the only emperor of the Three Lions. England, which is full of superstars, no longer has disputes because of his existence. When the young captain's pre-match speech sounded in the Three Lions' locker room for the first time, and when the voices of 100,000 fans at Wembley Stadium shouting "Captain England" shattered racial prejudice, finally completed the most crazy revenge with England. After the World Cup final, he wore the Three Lions captain's armband and held up the World Cup trophy, announcing to the world that a new legend in the football world had been born.

Alex just wanted cheap rent in New York City. What he got instead was a roommate who: - cooks like a Michelin chef, - shrugs off injuries that should require a hospital, - owns “props” that look suspiciously like Excalibur, - and has a wife named Merlin who seems to be from a Vogue magazine. After a few too many coincidences — Civil War photographs, ancient artifacts, a four‑star general dropping by for tea — Alex becomes 99% sure his roommate is immortal. The remaining 1% is just denial. Now he’s stuck between cosmic weirdness and a lease he can actually afford, trying to survive: - gods who treat his living room like a break room, - heroes who show up for sandwiches, - Death stopping by for tea, - and a roommate who insists he’s “just a normal guy.” A cozy, comedic urban fantasy about the mortal who accidentally joined the divine world… and made a spreadsheet about it.

Perseus Jackson has lived long enough to know one universal truth: Modern governments are allergic to reading their own paperwork. So when an FBI task force kicks down his door and arrests him on suspicion of being an international assassin, Perseus doesn’t panic. He doesn’t resist. He doesn’t even stop drinking his coffee. He just sighs. Because he knows exactly what happens next. One phone call triggers the Echelon Protocol—a top‑secret “oh no, we messed up again” failsafe designed specifically to stop federal agents from detaining a certain long‑lived consultant. Within minutes: The NSA is in full meltdown, the FBI is arguing with itself, Ghost Ops is already airborne for some reason, and half of America’s allies are calling to ask why the United States has detained him again. Perseus, meanwhile, is handcuffed in an interrogation room, politely reminding agents that this exact situation is covered in Section 4, Paragraph 3 of the memo nobody ever reads. And that’s only the beginning. Because once the dust settles, people start digging. And the more they dig, the more unhinged things get — historians lose their minds, agencies panic, Reddit explodes, and the entire internet collectively decides to investigate a man who really just wants to finish his book in peace. A long‑lived consultant. A normal world. And a bureaucracy determined to create chaos at every opportunity.
