Haunted by her father's broken hands, a young union organizer must prove that compassion can be a strength when a cynical leader—armed with the painful lessons of his own past failures—attempts to transform their guild into a ruthless corporate entity, forcing a final vote that will decide the soul of the city's labor.

Charles Kosonen walked into a hidden bar one night expecting nothing but a good drink. He had only visited on one of his random whims, something to spice up his endlessly boring days as a man born with everything, yet utterly dissatisfied with everything. He quickly found a seat at the bar. Then he noticed a beautiful girl lingering by the stage, chatting with the band like she was their singer. Beautiful, she was, with those brilliant blue eyes, deep as sapphire, and her long black hair flowing carelessly down her back. But in the world he lived in, beauty was always in abundance, and for a pair of eyes so used to gems, even a shining jewel could start to lose its luster. The corner of his mouth lifted into a faint smirk. He'd come for the drinks, as one of his business partners had praised when recommending this place. The singing was merely an extra. Or so he thought. The moment the liquid in his crystal-clear glass touched his lips was when the girl took the stage. The moment the cold sip slid down his throat was when her lips parted. And then she sang. The glass froze in his hand. If an angel could sing, why would she choose to descend into this hidden bar, of all places? The song wasn't a particularly popular one. The band behind her was just C-class amateur. And yet, with her voice alone, she took the song, polished it into a gemstone, and made it hers. He looked around the room. It wasn't just him, but every single man present there that night had their eyes glued to her, their face a mesmerized expression. A decision was made. He would have her under his wing, no matter what it cost.

n the 85th year of Konoha, Sarada sat in the library, her eyes filled with inferiority. The Uchiha clan was exterminated... Faced with the ridicule of her classmates, she was powerless to fight back. The Uchiha clan is weak? The so-called darkness of the ninja world, Sasuke-kun, who can compete with the Seventh Hokage, is just bragging! "How can a disabled person possibly defeat the Hokage? It's truly shameful!" Everyone laughed at Sarada. At this moment, a screen appeared in the sky. "A look at the ten most powerful Uchiha. Watch out... This is the power of the Uchiha!" Uchiha Madara: "Do you want to dance too?" Uchiha Obito: "I want to create a world with Rin!"

After being knocked out and abruptly awakened by a punch, Morin finds himself a prisoner of war. He initially believed he was in a world on the eve of a conflict similar to World War I, but quickly discovers the actual situation is far more bizarre. For starters, why is he, an Imperial soldier, allied with volunteers from the International Brigades?! Assault Troopers who look like walking Iron Cans carrying swords and shields, Armored Knights powered by a mix of diesel and Magic, and battle mages marching with the army… All of this tells Morin that this world has serious, fundamental issues. But his immediate concern is how to survive this conflict, a war ironically touted as ‘the war to end all wars.’ Key Elements: Magically Modified World War I Real Men Use Bolt-Action Rifles Diesel-Powered Armored Knights Airship Boarding Actions This is a Fans-Translations

I time-traveled. Not to the present-day Teyvat I knew so well… but to more than 2,600 years before the story even begins. The Seven are still unformed. Legends have yet to be born. History hasn’t been written— and somehow, I’m standing in the middle of it. I thought knowing the future would make everything easier. Yet the Teyvat before me is nothing like the one I remember. My choices ripple across centuries. Is the future of this world really the one I once admired… or a tragedy I accidentally helped create? Time erodes memories, but I refuse to forget where I came from. Even if the world forgets me. Even if the person I care for most has to disappear with it. Hello… little one. We meet for the first time— and maybe, the last.

Many years later, the Great Hollow tore the sky apart. Inside the anti-membrane, Aizen Sosuke wiped his forehead with one hand and crushed his glasses into pieces with the other. “No one has ever been born standing in heaven.” "From this day forward, I...my teacher and my mistresses will stand in heaven!"

Author: 西风瘦吗 (Xi Feng Shou Ma) ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ren transmigrated into the world of One-Punch Man and became the so-called “strongest man on Earth”—King. The moment he opened his eyes, he found himself facing Vaccine Man, who was on the brink of destroying the city. Just as the disaster was about to unfold— [Ding! Congratulations, host.

First, hone your craft until it nears the spearwork and runes of Scáthach, Queen of the Land of Shadows. Temper your body and spirit core until they can bear a load on the level of Typhon, the fallen giant-beast. Then, using this Book of Heroic Spirits as a vessel, open a line to the Throne—raise a conceptual copy of the King of Britain’s sword bestowed by the Lady of the Lake, Excalibur (Sword of Promised Victory); mount the holy Pegasus born from Medusa’s blood. People will sing your name in ballads, and whisper it with shaking voices in the dark. You will be more than legend—you will be a Heroic Spirit walking the earth. “…Becoming a Heroic Spirit takes three steps: close the book, open the door, and go.” So said Shane, who arrived in Earth Land—Fiore with a book that can call to the Throne. “Right—first. Let’s warm up by slaying a Dragon.”

Final Life Online is a 10th-generation, full-dive VRMMO game developed through the collaboration of companies from across the globe. The game was initially designed as a virtual utopia, a place where players could spend their entire lives after retirement, earn a living, and even shape a new reality. Despite its deep and serious intent, the game became an escape for most players, who gave up on its true objective and chose instead to simply enjoy living in the virtual world as if it were reality. Only a few elite guilds still aimed to beat the game, chasing the incredible rewards promised to those who succeeded. The stakes were high — any player who could defeat the game's final challenge would be rewarded with 20% ownership in the top 1,000 companies in the real world. Yet, as the years passed, no one was able to conquer it. Now, a decade later, the game has become a battleground for the top guilds, all vying for that elusive victory and its earth-shaking rewards. Suddenly, the perspective shifts to a figure standing by the window, looking out into the fading light. A soft breeze ruffles the curtains as he gazes at the massive poster of Final Life Online plastered on the building across the street, its vibrant colors a stark contrast to the dullness of his room. He mutters to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the cacophony of the city below. "And I... am Flynn Blade." The name feels foreign on his tongue, a remnant of a past life he can barely remember. And I have reincarnated in this Doomed world, But no more as I am here now. ***** Flynn, a reincarnator from another world, finds himself preparing for the launch of Final Life Online, a virtual reality game with world-changing stakes. In his previous life, Final Life Online was just a novel, but now he knows it’s far more than just a game. It's humanity's last chance to prepare for a catastrophic apocalypse set to hit Earth in ten years. To make sure the world takes it seriously, the game’s rewards are extraordinary, including shares in top companies and a “World Owner” title with unparalleled power. Flynn has an edge over other players because he knows the game’s true purpose from the start, thanks to reading from the perspective of Max, the story's main character. Max is a regressor who, like Flynn, will join the game today. Max is set to choose one of the strongest classes, but Flynn knows about an even more powerful class that Max didn’t know existed. This class once made another player the second-strongest in the world, nearly on par with Max, despite the fact that Max had multiple advantages like special equipment and cheats. Flynn plans to take this class for himself, aiming to surpass even Max in strength and gather enough power to survive the coming apocalypse. Though he has never met Max personally, Flynn's knowledge of Max’s journey gives him the insight he needs to prepare. His ultimate goal is not just to become stronger, but to protect himself and those he cares about from the impending disaster.

Lin Yue was abruptly thrown into a world of cultivation. Surrounded by powerful races hungry for domination, she had to merge her modern knowledge with ancient arts while uncovering the reason she was dragged into this world in the first place. Rebirth? Transmigration? Crossing dimensions?People usually get a fresh body for that. So why was she tossed in with her original one? Adjusting to a new world? Easy. If this world didn’t give her a path, then she’d create one herself. She wasn’t “chosen”. She was discarded into hell. Which was fine… because hell would learn to fear her. She didn’t have a golden finger either. But in this cultivation world, she’d forge her own. “Never settle for one answer. The more you learn, the stronger you become.” That was her principle. Besides, a little distraction wouldn’t hurt. And this person she “picked up”… was kind of adorable.

Throughout his life on the Grand Line, there’s no doubt that Orin’s growth was extraordinary. But if we’re talking about the true turning point of fate, it all started with a single sentence he uttered as a child—when he risked his life to protect someone. “Kid, why do you insist on boarding our ship?” Roger glared across the vast blue sea, asking the brat standing before him. “Hahahahaha! Becoming a pirate is obviously so I can bring the world upside down with me!” After setting sail, Roger was surprised to discover… he had somehow taken in a little monster as a crew member. Strength far surpassing that of giants? Innate mastery of Observation Haki? And so, through a series of strange and chaotic landfall incidents, this kid revealed terrifying learning abilities, and quickly mastered marksmanship, swordsmanship—and eventually became the nightmare of Shanks and Buggy’s future! ... ...

With a blink of his eyes, the world had already changed.  Carrying a stone tortoise engraved with the patterns of the Bagua, Ji An rose from obscurity.  From the Minor Rain Technique, to the Spring Wind Transforming Rain Art, and then the Cloud Dragon Rain Summoning Spell;  From the Sharp Gold Formula, to the Falling Autumn Leaves Art, and finally the Geng Metal Spirit-Slaying Sword.  Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Origin Ascension, Golden Core…  Step by step, as he climbed to the peak of the mountain, a mere lift of his arm brought forth the myriad laws to follow.  (A slow-burn tale cultivation is not merely about battles and bloodshed, but about accumulating resources step by step, and grasping insights little by little. Just as heaps of earth form a mountain, so too do wind and rain arise.)

Within Jing Qian’s sea of consciousness, a stone stele rose. On that stele, strokes and carvings took form in inscriptions that recorded his destiny. When fate intertwines with the laws of heaven and earth, it becomes engraved upon the Stele of Life, and thus, a Life Pattern is born. A Life Pattern contains one’s innate nature and potential; it also determines one’s future achievements and path of cultivation. Now watch as Jing Qian forges fate into a sword, severs the soul, and ascends to immortality! ... Life Patterns: Tidal Surge: Ride the waves and sing, dance upon the tides! Sumeru: A mustard seed holds Mount Sumeru; within a speck of dust, the vast cosmos is concealed! Tushita Furnace: Tempted by illusory words, delighted by the bliss of Tushita! … ... The flame of destiny burns upon the body. Sumeru fixes the Dao. Ride the waves and sing. Forge the sword like a dragon. Stitch soul to spirit. Within the Tushita Furnace, I inscribe my stele to forge eternal life.

"ANAMNEX " From the Greek "anamnesis" - forbidden remembrance. Some memories shouldn’t exist. Some streets shouldn’t lead anywhere. Some doors shouldn’t open at all. I see them anyway. I notice the glitches in reality — subtle shifts that no one else perceives. A hallway stretches farther than it should. Shadows move on their own. A clock spins backward for a moment, and nothing makes sense. These are Anamnex (ANX) — magical anomalies hidden in plain sight. They twist the world, bending rules, rewriting events, and revealing secrets no one was meant to notice. I can’t control them. I can’t stop noticing them. And the more I observe, the stranger the world becomes… until reality itself feels alive, watching me back. Every step, every glance, every second… something impossible is coming. Anamnex (ANX) — a world of magic you can’t understand, rules you can’t predict, and mysteries you won’t be able to put down.

Thanks to the collected longevity, he even achieved immortality. Zhao Feng relished his role in the logistics troops!

The world seems ordinary... Yet beneath its daily rhythm, something begins to stir—something that was never meant to exist. Kaivan Badrika Alijaya, a young man adrift and hollow, stumbles upon a mysterious tome known as the Tome of Omnicent — a book said to reveal destiny itself and unveil every hidden truth. At first, Kaivan only wished to rebuild his life: start a small business, make friends, and reignite the fragile hope he once lost. But the more he obeys the guidance of the tome, the stranger his world becomes... as if reality itself is bending under unseen hands. From light and shadow that coexist in silence, to faith crumbling into doubt, Kaivan begins to realize that every choice demands a price. And behind it all, one question echoes endlessly: What do you seek… when you already know everything?

[No Trash Protagonist] [No Harem] [Farming & Clan Management]  The path to immortality is one of solitude, of loneliness, of chilling heights where few can stand.  Song Changsheng arrives with a Daoist scripture in hand. Faced with the earnest guidance of his elders, the high hopes of his clan, and the hardships threatening their survival...  He and countless sons of the Song family push forward against the current—generation after generation passing on the torch, falling and rising—until the Song Immortal Clan stands tall atop the world!  And when he one day looks back from the summit, all the trials and tribulations of the past will be but smoke in the wind. 

After crossing into the Pokémon world, I woke up as Giovanni’s son—and the new boss of Team Rocket. “Mr. Damian, according to reports about the battle in Saffron City, the Team Rocket forces under your command defeated Champions such as Lance, Steven, Wallace, and Leon, leaving them hospitalized for half a month. How do you feel about this?” A reporter interviews Team Rocket’s leader, Damian. “That’s complete nonsense. They were only recovering for a week,” Damian replies calmly. “It’s also said that during the Saffron City battle, you forcibly abducted Champion Cynthia. The people of the Sinnoh region are extremely displeased and are demanding that you return their Champion. What’s your response to that?” the reporter continues. “Utterly ridiculous. We’re very much in love; it’s their objections that are out of line,” Damian answers with a smile. “Oh, and by the way, Cynthia is currently pregnant, so she won’t be considering returning as Sinnoh’s Champion for the time being. Thank you.” (PS: The world setting is a fusion of the games, anime, and Adventures manga. Giovanni’s characterization follows a mix of his game and manga (Adventures) versions.)

Roy had always been a man of steady progress. One task at a time, one day at a time—that was enough for him. At least, until the day he opened his eyes and found himself reborn into the infamous Zoldyck family. Now, instead of a quiet life, he’s stuck with: A father as cold as ice. A mother with a twisted sense of love. Brothers who redefine the word “deranged.” A grandfather who casually adds another corpse to his tally every day. And a great-grandfather so old he refuses to die, pretending to watch cartoons while secretly covering the whole estate with En.

Jiang Ning Transmigrates at a Time of Turmoil To protect himself, he began training in martial arts using his “grinding experience” panel, quietly building his strength. Gradually, he discovered that as his cultivation techniques broke through their limits, various attributes began to manifest some even concealing the authority of divine beings. Through the martial path, he started to harness both divine authority and innate supernatural powers. [Five-Animal Fist] : From the initial grind to the perfected state constantly breaking through limits and acquiring various attributes: the five vital organs store essence and each harbors divine power. [Indestructible Body] : From the initial grind to perfection continuously shattering limits and acquiring myriad attributes, endowing him with an unbreakable golden body and immortal divine bones. [Inner Alchemy and Life Cultivation] : From the initial grind to perfection relentlessly breaks limits and gathers various attributes that allow him to remain at the pinnacle and attain immortality. One day, the Martial Saint who had kept the world subdued for eight hundred years struck at him. He slowly smiled. “Are you trying to attack a divine being?” When the very weapon once capable of slaying immortals and annihilating gods fell upon his head, he merely tilted his head slightly; not a single hair was disturbed. “My foundation has long been forged into an indestructible golden body!”
