Komi Can't Communicate Tadano

In the neon-choked sprawl of Neo-St. Petersburg, memory is the ultimate currency, and Nikolai Volkov is a man bankrupted by the elite. Once a low-level "Memory Cleaner" for the 1%, Nikolai is subjected to a brutal neural wipe after witnessing a ritualistic murder committed by the untouchable Senator Volin. But the "Mind-Crusher" fails. Instead of erasing his soul, it shatters the barriers of his consciousness, granting him a direct uplink to the Akashic Repository. Now, Nikolai is a living virus in a world of silicon and sin. By mere proximity, he can "eat" the combat skills, deepest secrets, and primal fears of anyone he encounters. From the mud of the "Sector-Zero" slums to the gilded penthouses of the corporate gods, he begins a cold, calculating ascent on the Escalation Ladder. He isn't just seeking revenge; he’s hunting for the fragments of the man he used to be, only to discover that the Senator didn't just delete his past, he’s using it to fuel a "Demon-Upload" that will enslave the global Net. Packed with high-stakes "face-slapping" and cinematic action, PHANTOM IN THE SHELL is a gritty cyberpunk thriller about a man with a thousand faces and no identity, proving that the most dangerous thing in the world is a ghost who remembers everything you want to forget.

To save his foster brother from a hit-and-run sentence, he was coerced into a high-security tomb known as “The Abyss.” There, instead of breaking, he met the Calamity Physician, a legendary prisoner who taught him the Divine Pulse—a medical art that can snatch lives from the gates of hell—and the Asura Strike, a martial style that turns the human body into a lethal weapon. Now, the gates have opened. Jian returns to a city that thinks he’s a broken convict. He finds his foster family living in luxury off his biological parents' stolen estate, while his wife, the only person who stayed true, is being auctioned off to settle a debt he didn't create.

“You don't deserve this throne. Your birth was nothing more than a mistake by my late husband, so don't think any more of yourself. But if you still want to be King, then go into the territories and kingdoms outside Griffindale and build your army of followers and allies from scratch. Whenever you feel like you have amassed a huge following enough to seize the throne away from me, then you can come back to fight for it. But from now on, you are on exile.” “The throne belongs to me, Stepmother. Nevertheless, I will do as you ask. But rest assured, for what you've done, I will return—not just for my throne, but also for your head.” “While the Queen fumed with rage in her private chamber, Cyrus emerged from her quarters wearing a satisfied grin, knowing his destiny was now set in stone. He would one day become king, no matter what.” -------- This is my first novel on the platform, so my pacing and world-building aren't the best, but it gets better with time. The story is set in a medieval world, somewhere in an alternate version of ancient Europe. At first the tone focuses more on war and basic politics, but as the story progresses, there will be more magic/fantasy elements added - like dragons, witches and fables. If you enjoy the work, please consider supporting it in any way you can. Any means of support goes a long way for me and is duly appreciated. Have Fun!!!

“We can kill him now, he is of no use to us anymore” these were the words Nick Furgesson heard as he wanted to open the door to his father’s room….. fuck, an eye opener.

They broke his bones. They spat on his pride. They left him to die in the gutter. They just made the biggest mistake of their lives.

Along with a genius fallen heiress and a deadly assassin-doctor, he’s building an empire on the ruins of his enemies. One hand offers salvation. The other delivers absolute destruction.

In the first apocalypse timeline, he trusted the wrong people, gave away what little he had, and was betrayed when food became more valuable than human life. Death came quietly—without heroism, without meaning. Then time rewound. Kyle wakes minutes before the world collapses, reborn with all his memories intact—and a system no one else possesses: the Infinite Supplies System. Food. Water. Weapons. A private Paradise Space untouched by ruin. But abundance comes with a rule carved in cold logic: nothing is free. Supplies can only be unlocked through Emotional Function Points. As cities fall and boys’ survivor zones are wiped out, a sealed girls’ campus becomes an island of desperation. Kyle alone can move freely through the apocalypse. He doesn’t force obedience. He waits. Hunger does the work. Cleaning earns meals. Labor earns water. Emotion—fear, shame, gratitude, desire—determines how much. Six girls stand at the center of this fragile balance: a campus beauty hiding terror behind smiles, an ice-cold strategist who refuses to beg, a fallen heiress desperate to reclaim control, an arrogant provocateur who thrives on chaos, a kind healer who sacrifices herself too easily, and a hardened survivor who refuses to be owned. Between them, alliances form and fracture. Submission becomes strategy. Strategy becomes betrayal. Kyle’s relationships with them are never simple. He is their provider, their ruler, their shield—and, increasingly, their moral problem. As the system rewards cruelty more efficiently than kindness, Kyle begins to realize a terrifying truth: the system doesn’t care about survival. It cares about consumption. When outside survivor factions finally make contact and the system escalates beyond Kyle’s control, he is forced to choose—declare himself sovereign over a starving world, or challenge the very system that keeps everyone alive. And the system is already watching how he decides.

"This is madness. No. We're not going to do that at all." While saying that, he looked at the few people whose attention seemed to only be on the Tome in front of them. Somehow, he could see the greed on their faces. "Don't tell me you will do as It says? Do you know how many will suffer because of this?" "We will only try on the basis of Knowledge. What if all this, just another lie?" One of the men interrupted with an answer. "Just another lie? We all know and sane enough to realize there is a Hell where we can finally managed to escape. And all of that is the merit of the Paladin Knights. Don't you try to deny it." He replied in a harsh tone and anger almost overflowed. "But think about it? If it was real. As real as it could be. A power that could even prolong one's life." Said by another man in the group who seemed excited by the prospect of a longevity that lasted as far as the planet itself existed. ... ... Then it all ended with a choice that made him decide to leave the group. He paused, then turned to look behind him, gripping his bag tightly. “Soon… You will all regret this. All that's left are sins and guilt that you will have to bear for the rest of your life." ... ...
