A Silent Voice Shouko

Alex Mercer never thought his life would end on a rainy night, skidding off a slick highway in his beat-up car. But death wasn't the end; it was just the beginning of his nightmare. Waking up in the fiery depths of hell, Alex faced Lucifer himself, a devilish grin plastered across the fallen angel's face. "You were destined for eternal torment," Lucifer said, his voice smooth as silk yet carrying the weight of countless damnations. "But I have a proposition for you." The deal was simple yet horrifying. If Alex wanted a second chance at life, he had to rid the Earth of Lucifer's escaped minion demons who had broken their chains and now wreaked havoc among the living. The reward? A ticket back to hell, but this time as Lucifer's lieutenant rather than a prisoner. To fulfill his part of the deal, Alex was granted a fragment of Lucifer's power: the ability to summon hellfire, manipulate shadows, and sense the presence of evil. Armed with these abilities, Alex is sent back to Earth, but not as the man he once was. Now, he's something more a hunter, a reaper of the damned. Yet as Alex fights to send demons back to hell, he begins to question the true cost of the deal. What will remain of his soul when the last demon falls? And can he trust Lucifer, the Prince of Lies, to keep his word?

Adrian Kane sat in silence as his wife’s voice sliced through the air. "You are nothing but a gold digger. Sign the damn papers, Adrian. I’m done clothing and feeding you." He stared at her, the faintest smirk playing at the corner of his lips. She didn’t know. Not about the penthouse they were standing in, not about the company logo stitched into her designer dress, his company’s logo. And definitely not about the fact that the man she’d been sleeping with had been losing millions to him for months. Adrian picked up the pen. “Oh, Selena…” he whispered, signing the papers. “You have no idea what you’ve just done.” Ten years of lies. One ruthless betrayal. And a comeback that will shatter everything. Adrian Kane spent a decade living as a nobody beside the woman he thought he loved. But when she hands him divorce papers and calls him a gold digger, she has no idea that she’s just signed her own downfall. Because Adrian isn’t poor, he’s the billionaire CEO she’s been working for, the owner of the house she lives in, and the man her new lover has been losing to for years. Now, with a new wife at his side and the truth in his hands, Adrian will dismantle the world his ex-wife thought she ruled. But in this game of power, love, and betrayal… even billionaires aren’t safe from heartbreak.

Twenty years ago, nine heroes across the world fought the Monarch of Oblivion, a Godlike being who sought to erase humanity. Among them were Korea’s Han Seojin and Lee Mirae, one of the strongest of their generation. The Monarch fell, but his final words promised doom: “When the Monarch of Calamity returns, he will awaken the others. When peace blinds you… they will remind you of fear.” To the world, the heroes claimed victory and founded the World Hero School Competition, a global system said to train future defenders. In truth, it was a hidden plan created to find those capable of resisting the Monarchs when they ever rise again. Years later, their second child Han Jiwoo lives a quiet life in Seoul — unaware of his parents’ past or the secret buried within him. During his Awakening, his mana fractures the test crystal, revealing an impossible result: Dual-Class — Combat and Unknown. Unknown… the same signature as the Monarch of Oblivion's core but known to no one other than his parents and headmaster. Sent to Eclipse Academy, a once-glorious school now fallen from prestige, Jiwoo becomes the center of attention — admired, doubted, and watched. But when a fateful duel pushes him to the brink, his second power awakens, and within his consciousness, a forgotten voice speaks once more. Bound to the Monarch who once threatened humanity, Jiwoo must master the power that defies gods while forging his own path between light and void.

Three years after the Great Resonance shook the world, New York City has become a war zone. Skyscrapers have turned into monster-filled dungeons. Central Park has mutated into the Green Abyss. And the ancient bloodline families hidden for centuries now rule the city like ruthless kings. Kai Vance is a nobody. A broke bike courier with no pedigree, no power, and no future. Until the day a monster horde corners him and a calm, mechanical voice speaks in his mind: << Aura Ascendancy System initializing… >> Suddenly, Kai’s life is rewritten. The System grants him quests, perfect techniques, and refinement paths the elites spend years mastering. While noble heirs struggle to reach Level 11, Kai is being pushed toward the unimaginable Level 13. His rapid rise draws attention and danger. The Astors want to control him. The Guan Yu clan wants to recruit him. The Tammany underground wants him dead. And a dormant bloodline within him marked only as is awakening, one that terrifies even the oldest families. Worse, the monster attacks are becoming organized… almost intelligent. Earth itself seems to be evolving, and the noble families are ready to sacrifice the rest of humanity to survive. Armed with a System designed for the ordinary, Kai must master every refinement stage, rally the scattered System-Blessed, and fight through dungeons, beasts, and corrupt aristocrats to claim his destiny. From a nobody courier to the Demi-King of the city, Kai will rise and rewrite the fate of a reborn world.

Born into a noble family and endowed with tremendous power, exceptional talent, and unparalleled physical attractiveness, one might assume these qualities to be blessings. However, are they truly advantageous or rather a curse? Allen Frey, a young man destined to inherit the illustrious lineage of Duke Frey in the Kingdom of Eldoria, finds himself entangled in this very predicament. Given his extraordinary social standing and the multitude of advantages at his disposal, it seems inevitable that Allen will lead a prosperous life and ascend to greatness in due course. What if this perceived fortune is merely an intricate facade, perpetually deceiving him at every twist and turn? What if it's all an elaborate lie? A hero summoned from another world with the mission to vanquish the Demon Emperor ultimately becomes the perpetrator, stripping Allen of everything he holds dear—his fiancée, sister, power, strength, and all that he possessed. Does this constitute fate? Even the figure known as the "Hero" ultimately eradicated his very existence. Can this be considered justice? In the final moments of his life, he gazed upward at the serene sky, mustering every ounce of strength to reach out his trembling hand. "Oh, God! Are you truly so merciless as to shatter my life?" "Can... Can you grant me an opportunity to alter this cruel destiny?!" He cried out, his voice strained, tears streaming down his face, and gradually he closed his weary eyes. [Ding!

Jack Snyder suffered a huge car accident. Time went by, and he heard a girl’s voice calling Nozomu Shinchaku. Jack slowly opened his eyes and an unknown girl was crying in front of him, but everything about her was wrong. Long blue hair, yellow eyes, cat ears instead of normal Human ears.

Strangely, his soul travelled to a young boy’s body, that judging by the pool of blood, died because of that rock. Now, he has to learn how to live in a strange Magical World as the Human teenager Nozomu Shinchaku that strangely can’t use Magic, and Magic has no effect on him. “Definition of sidekick: - A sidekick is someone who goes with the main lead on their adventures. If he is a superhero, the sidekick helps fight crime. Sometimes this word signifies an imbalance of power, and it implies that the sidekick is less powerful than the main lead. - Sidekick is one of the most effective forms of attack in a street fight. Hard kicks especially to the knee can take a larger opponent down or at least blow out his balance, leaving him vulnerable to follow-up shots.” *I intend on keeping this story free till it's finished.* *cover by Aisling Elizabeth Robinson and me*
