ROOT: Awakening

For decades, humanity has lived in a world that isn't quite what it seems. Since the Great Awakening of 1952, magic, monsters, and people capable of supernatural feats have existed beneath the surface of ordinary society. And while most people remain blissfully unaware of the hidden world around them, eighteen-year-old Cyrus Moore is about to have that ignorance ripped away, whether he wants it to or not. After a devastating accident leaves him on the brink of death, Cyrus awakens to something impossible: a power he never knew that existed within him. Suddenly thrust into a world of sorcerers, supernatural creatures, secret organizations, and dangerous mysteries, Cyrus discovers that surviving is far more complicated than simply learning how to control his newfound abilities. Every answer seems to uncover another secret, and every step forward draws him deeper into a conflict that has been unfolding long before he was ever made aware of it. With enemies lurking in the shadows and allies whose true intentions aren't always clear, Cyrus must learn who he can trust while struggling to understand what is happening around him. But the deeper Cyrus ventures into this hidden world, the more he realizes that his awakening may not be all that it seems. Something is changing. Reality is beginning to crack at the edges. Old mysteries are beginning to surface. Dangerous forces are moving in the shadows. And the boundary between humanity and the supernatural is becoming increasingly fragile. Cyrus wanted an escape from an ordinary life. Instead, he awakened to a world where magic is real, monsters are hunting, and the greatest danger may be the truth waiting to be uncovered. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same….

Umamusume: It All Started When I Got Sent Flying Ten Meter

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

Gourmet: Cooking for the Multiverse

In a quiet corner next to a bustling street stands a small, signboard-less shop that only wakes up when the sun goes down. There is no menu here. You simply tell the owner what you crave, and he turns your wish into a culinary miracle. Ren is a retired, undefeated underground fighter who traded his fists for a kitchen knife. His culinary skills are so divine that he conquered the "God Tongue" of Nakiri Erina with a simple bowl of porridge and turned the Elite Ten's Kobayashi Rindou into a love-struck regular. But the true secret of the restaurant lies in its door. Every night, it connects to different worlds. Here, Lucifer, the Queen of Hell, abandons her pride to become a clumsy, chocolate-loving resident. The Red-Haired Yonko, Shanks, shares his finest sake with the bald hero Saitama, who is just happy to find a delicious meal that fits his budget. Even the lonely salesman Suzuki Satoru finds a warm refuge here from his exhausting work, while the compulsive gambler Momobami Kirari discovers a new obsession more thrilling than any high-stakes game. From Asuna stopping by for a late-night snack to Albus Dumbledore discovering the magic of cuisine, Ren's life is a chaotic yet heartwarming mix of legendary guests and unforgettable flavors. Welcome to the Dimensional Restaurant. Where the food heals the soul, and the guests are anything but ordinary.
