Ashes of a Forgotten Life

Xaque
The world is divided into ten powerful nations, each ruled by its own strength and ideology—War, Justice, Storm, Volcano, Peace, Fortune, The Land of Mothers, Water, Desert, and Medicine. Each represents something humanity believes in… or hides behind. Above them stand the Ten Mortal Gods—legendary figures who once reshaped the balance of the world. But time has changed everything. The nations they influenced have grown corrupt, twisted by ambition, fear, and greed. Systems meant to protect now exploit. Rankings, bounties, and power structures decide who lives freely—and who is hunted. Slavery, forced labor, political manipulation, and generational oppression persist beneath banners of righteousness. At the center of this fragile order stands a neutral academy where future warriors are trained for the conflicts beyond its walls. It is here that Izan Arakami begins his journey. Quiet yet relentless, Izan wields a power that belongs to no nation and answers to no throne. As he witnesses the cruelty hidden beneath politics and pride—the suffering of civilians, the abuse of authority, the systems built on control—his understanding of justice begins to fracture. Strength alone will not fix this world. And if no one else is willing to stain their hands to change it… he may. Beside him stands Rin Amagawa, carrying the blood of the God of War. Within her lies the ability to command light itself—an overwhelming, seemingly limitless force that makes her both a miracle and a threat. Nations do not fear her lineage alone—they fear what she could become. Watching over them is Sayaka, a guardian bound to a forgotten past. Fragments of her memories remain scattered across the world, waiting to be reclaimed. As those pieces return, so too does the truth about the spiritual forces shaping this reality—belief, energy, dreams, spirits, past lives, and the unseen layers that influence fate itself. Because in this world, spirituality is not myth. It is power. As alliances shift and war looms on the horizon, the balance between nations begins to collapse. And when it does— the world may not be ready for the version of Izan Arakami that rises from its ashes.

Lazy Salvation

“The boogeyman of Outer Gods, protector of Earth, humanity’s last stand—Miratheris’s son has returned.” I was drowning in sloth. The color of life had drained from my eyes, leaving only shades of grey. Doing anything felt like punishment. Looking for a job? A laughable idea. I did everything I could to stay disconnected from reality. Gambling. Drinking. Even suicidal stunts. Anything to escape the numbness that clawed at my mind for even a second. But everything comes at a cost. I abandoned my family. Broke the heart of the only woman who ever loved me. And wasted every damn day like it didn’t matter. I became the kind of man society throws out with the trash. But life didn’t spare me. Not even when I hit rock bottom. Deceived, shackled, and sold into another world— I spent the rest of my days as a slave. Forced to fight monsters ripped straight out of myth. At the very end, all I could do… was wish. Just one more chance. One shot to make things right. … Born a prodigy, Ashen Hart moved through life like a golden boy. What others worked for, he mastered with ease. At first, it felt like a blessing. The validation, pride, and accomplishment felt sweet. But even honey spoils when you’re drowning in it. The more success he tasted, the more hollow it all became. And when a mysterious power awakened within him, letting him see moments into the future— The world lost all color. And then all meaning… Nothing could surprise him. Nothing could move him. He spiraled. Ashen threw it all away—ambition, love, purpose— and embraced the slow death of apathy. But fate wasn’t done with him. Kidnapped by a shadowy organization and forced into a hidden war, he learned a truth: he wasn’t special. He was fodder. Cannon meat to delay the inevitable. But somewhere, buried beneath sloth and cynicism, the genius stirred. The apathy rotted away. And Ashen Hart, the failure, became Ashen Hart, the wretched. The unkillable. From a discarded pawn to the final hope of mankind. And when it was over—when even the gods had fallen— he was left alone. At his dying breath, the Earth’s spirit, Miratheris, answered his plea. She rewound time, giving him one last shot. But not without a price. She kept his memories intact… and delayed their return just enough so his younger self could bear the weight. Ashen’s second life begins now— and the monsters, both within and beyond, are about to learn what regret truly feels like. ═══⟲══════⟲══════⟲═══ All chapters are unlocked.

Signing-In: The Lazy Moon Goddess

Yue Xuexia is just an ordinary salted fish that rarely lives in her house, but suddenly one day she woke up, received a sign-in system, and thought she was dreaming. The sign-in system rewarded her with multiple things, including houses, money, cars, and talent scrolls, which led her to the life of the richest lady in the world. She could sign in once a day. One morning, with her eyes groggily and blurry, Xuexia was welcomed by a holographic screen only she could see. Yes, like the ones in the novels and manga. Ding! Xuexia waves her hand in the empty air and mumbles, "Noisy, I told you to turn off the damn alarm, whoever owns it!" When a robotic voice lingered near her ears saying, Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host, and you've received [1 Million RMB in cash!] Xuexia, who is currently in need of great money, was in disbelief as she looked at the words one million and laughed. "Heh~ even in my dream, I was wishing to receive free money. What nonsense, let's go back to sleep. Yue Xuexia was about to close her eyes back to sleep when the old touch screen phone near her pillow vibrates. Bzzt~ Bzzzzzt~ "Urg~ who the hell is calling now?" complained Yue Xuexia in her half-asleep state. She picked up the phone only to see a message notification saying the following words: [Your bank card account ending with 5567 had received a deposit transfer from XXXX at 6:45 am. You had received a 1 million deposit and your current saving balance is 1,003,000.00 RMB (Autumn Field landbank)] Yue Xuaxia mumbled in disbelief and said, "Fucking hell! This is awesome." Who doesn’t like free things?~' This lady wants it too!!!
