Strange

Arcana High is known as the greatest magic academy in the Bluestar World. It is prestigious, disciplined, and supposedly safe. But when a group of ordinary teens accidentally breaks into the academy’s restricted library, they uncover something no student was ever meant to see: A living, ancient map that chooses them as its “Special Players.” From that moment on, their lives changed into a strange, game-like reality where hidden, forbidden regions appeared all around the Bluestar World. Monsters, Mutated Beasts, Zombies, and unknown monstrosities roam the world. Every basic spell evolves like a skill tree. And the map keeps issuing quests with one warning: “Level up… or die.” Forced to team up despite their clashing personalities, the teens must explore the world's hidden regions, unlock ancient magic, and complete trials that push them far beyond their limits. But the deeper they go, the more they realize: The map is just a trial ground for divine beings called the Naphil. Entities powerful enough to rewrite the structure of the Bluestar World. And now, they want to filter out the strong players from the weak. If humans can't level up fast enough, Arcana High won’t be the only thing that falls…The entire realm will.

Ares Valen was an ordinary man—until a lightning storm tore reality apart and hurled him into another world. He wakes up inside the dying body of a forgotten prince on a collapsing frontier: a barren desert, starving civilians, half-orc raiders, berserk tribes, and warlords fighting over the last scraps of land. Death closes in from every direction. Then a familiar voice echoes in his mind: “Rome: Total War system initialized.” The world changes. With this strange power, Ares can summon Roman legions, build ancient cities, unlock divine blessings, and command armies that grow stronger after every victory. As the chosen War Priest of Jupiter, he gains divine skills, awakens legendary commanders, and turns a dying settlement into a rising force feared across the frontier. But enemies are everywhere— dark mages, barbarian clans, forgotten gods, and kingdoms long fallen into ruin. In the shadows, something ancient begins to stir again… the same force that once destroyed this land. Aretian has only one path left: Rise. Conquer. Survive. And forge a new Rome in a world that has never known its might. War. Strategy. Divine power. A legend begins at the edge of the desert.

The world is a place of power level and competition between all the inhabitants of the world, including people with systems that represent less than 1% of the inhabitants. Their presence is very dangerous in any country, so they are hunted like beasts everywhere and captured to take away their system and return them to normal. Alison is a kid with a pretty basic system, but she has learned to harness it to outperform everyone else her age. However, he got into a lot of trouble because of his physique and giving a false image to others. Many girls start looking for him, and he gets in trouble for it. This leads him to get into a fight with one of his friends and causes a lot of damage to the place where he got into a fight, which he couldn't pay for. So the owners of a school offer to pay the debt if he enrolls in the school and represents them in some games. He accepts, but when he enters there he finds a rather strange boy who just got his system and is likely to be discovered, and it is imminent that they start looking for more people like him. Faced with the uncertainty he feels, he decides to help him to get better and not raise suspicions of others, but things will not be as easy as he thought.

On the day the world split apart and the sky burned red, something new filled the air, an energy no one could name, but everyone could feel. It remade humanity overnight. Some people woke up able to shatter stone with their bare hands. Others could summon fire, call down storms, even twist space itself. And then there was Daniel. A mind-user. The weakest class there was. With no flashy powers or lethal attacks. Just an unfailing memory, faster reasoning, and a knack for seeing patterns others ignored. That is, until the mission that should have killed him. Buried in the ruins, he found relics from the old earth, and an idea that refused to leave. If people could draw power from the strange energy in the air… maybe they could connect to it in a deeper way. So he tried. What started as a fragile creation, a “system” that could barely identify objects began to learn. It grew like a child finding its voice. And one day, it woke up. Then it spread. Suddenly, the world began to change. Levels. Quests. Rewards. Power. The rules of reality itself started to look like a game. And everyone wanted to know the secret behind it. But when the game takes on a life of its own… will Daniel still be the one in control?

On the continent of Fosack, the official history claims that magic never existed, relegating it to mere myths and sailors' songs. Progress and stability have been built on the pillars of science, an unquestionable truth taught at the prestigious Rixus Institute. However, Miguel, a young student from Abrak, has never accepted this version. Raised on rumors of a past where portals connected worlds and the sun shone blue, his curiosity leads him to question everything he is taught. His arrival at Rixus coincides with an event that shakes the foundations of his world: an ancient seal is broken in a forbidden ritual, unleashing an energy that causes power outages and strange phenomena across the continent. While the authorities, led by the charismatic Governor Edrian Veyra, blame "solar flares" to hide the truth, Miguel begins to discover the cracks in reality. An ancient mural seems to breathe at his touch, shadows in the hallways conceal watchers, and a secret invitation promises him the answers he so desperately seeks. Unknowingly, Miguel is at the center of the awakening of an ancient power known as the Cycle of Lumia and Noxis. His search for the truth will not only challenge the powerful Dynasty that manipulates history but will also make him the key to a rebirth that will change Fosack forever.
