After Noah's death, what greeted him was an AI system calling itself Black, offering him a job working for the World and Soul Management Bureau.

After Noah's much-awaited ascension, what greeted him was an AI system calling itself Black, offering him a job working for the World and Soul Management Bureau.  He has to transmigrate into different worlds, using an identity of some unfortunate soon-to-be-dead dude, and live out the remainder of his new life there however he wanted. Oh, and hopefully in the process of living happily ever after, he'd also get to accidentally complete some secret mission they refused to tell him about. Easy-peasy! ...Right? ...Ok, sure, there are a few small kinks here and there... like terrorist attacks, murder plots, zombie apocalypses, hostile alien invasions, and the like... but one should always look at the bright side!

(°△°|||) Black: "How would you know how a hungry wolf looks like? Have you ever seen one?" Noah: "What? No! But…!" ( ꒪Д꒪) Black: "Exactly. Don't worry, host. He is just a bit excited due to nearly losing his life back there. You know, adrenaline." (¬‿¬) Noah: "…are you sure that's what's really going on here?" Black: "Absolutely!" (≖‿≖) … Noah: "Blackie! Blackie! His-his-his little brother is poking me in the ass!!" QAQ Black: "What are you making such a big fuss about? It's just morning wood." Noah: "Why am I making such a big fuss?!? He just took it out of his pants!!!" щ（ﾟДﾟщ） Black: "So? How is he supposed to take care of it if he doesn't take it out?" Noah: "I don't know, but definitely not like this!!!" QAQ Black: "Relax! Bros often help each other out with these kinds of things." Noah: "…" … Noah: "What do you have to say now?!? It's normal for good bros to want to shove their thing up your ass?!?" (ꐦ °Д°) Black: "Yes… if they are bent… and in love with you… like this one…" Noah: "…" ಠ_ಠ Noah: "Oh god, he is putting it in!!!! Blackie! Help!!!" QAQ Black: "Don't panic. Relax and follow my instructions." (︶^︶)ノ Noah: "Ok, ok, speak! Hurry!" Black: "You've got this. Breath in, breath out. Relax your muscles…" Noah: "How is this helping??" ( ꒪Д꒪) Black: "It'll hurt less that way." ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Noah: "…Whose system are you, mine or his?!?"

In 48 BC, as the flames of Caesar’s siege threaten the Great Library of Alexandria, head librarian Apollodorus makes a desperate choice. He cannot save the vast collection, but he can protect one scroll: a forbidden text known as the Typhon Codex. It is not a work of philosophy or science, but a meticulous, encrypted ledger documenting every secret alliance, betrayal, and blood debt of the city’s elite, compiled by a spymaster who vanished. Ten years later, the surviving library annex is a shadow of its former self. Apollodorus’s star pupil, Hypatia, discovers the Codex hidden within a mundane geometry text. When a prominent scholar—and rumored Roman informant—is found murdered in the scriptorium, the method matches a political assassination described in the scroll’s first entry. Hypatia realizes the Codex is not a historical record but an active blueprint. The killer is using it to execute a long-delayed purge. Now, Hypatia must decipher the scroll’s aliases and ciphers to identify both the next target and the murderer, who could be a vengeful scholar, a Roman agent, or a member of her own trusted circle. Pursued through the city’s bustling markets, sacred temples, and smoky taverns, she races to stop the killings before the Typhon Codex destroys what remains of Alexandria’s intellectual heart—and before the killer decides the last loose end is the librarian who knows too much.

A boy finds a clock and unknowingly gets sent across the multiverse where survival will depend on the choices he makes.

Yuiga Kisaragi. Seorang anak SMA yang di jauhi teman, guru dan keluarganya karena baru saja keluar dari penjara atas kasus pembunuhan yang tidak dia lakukan. Saat istirahat siang dia memilih tidur di atas atap sekolah, dan saat membuka matanya dia sudah ada disebuah hutan misterius. Dimulailah perjalanan Yuiga yang kelak akan membuat namanya sebagai sang Legenda "Pendekar Pedang Roh Tak Terkalahkan".

In the fractured realm of Eldora, where gods once walked among mortals and ancient magic lingers in the very bones of the earth, a forgotten prophecy stirs. The Shards of Creation—relics of a time long forgotten—have awakened, calling champions to claim them. As warlords, sorcerers, and forgotten horrors rise to claim the Shards, the land trembles on the brink of a war not seen since the First Age, when the gods themselves bled. Kael is no hero. A gutter-born thief with nothing to his name but his mother’s dying gift—a jagged black crystal, the Shard of Oblivion—he has spent his life running from the law, the gangs, and the nightmares that have haunted him since the night his mother died. But when the Shard awakens in his grasp, unraveling a nobleman into nothingness with a single touch, Kael becomes a fugitive. But with each use something changes within him, he feels it, his dreams are replaced with visions of world stripped bare drowned in silence, where even the gods lie broken. Something stirs within the shard.

In a world where leyline Nodes sustain the balance of existence, the Cult of Eternal Eclipse seeks to bind them into a single, all-consuming Nexus—an engine of annihilation. Kael, born a Hollow with no destiny, stumbles upon a mysterious Shard that binds itself to his soul. Branded a Destiny Thief after stealing the Oath of another, Kael finds himself hunted not only by the Cult but also by the very powers that govern fate. Joined by Riven, a hardened survivor with secrets etched in her scars, and later Selara, a strategist who sees deeper than most dare, Kael is drawn into a perilous campaign against the Cult. Each Node dismantled brings them closer to the heart of the Cult’s plan—yet also deeper into the Shard’s designs, as visions blur the line between his will and its influence. As they cross wilds, ruined sanctuaries, corrupted cities, and fortified Nodes, Kael must battle not only enemies who wield magic and monsters, but also the growing fear that the Shard is not just guiding him—it is steering him. Friendship, fragile trust, betrayal, and forbidden power collide as the Cult escalates into full-scale war. Every choice Kael makes draws him closer to either salvation… or becoming the very eclipse he swore to stop.

It all changed when she met Clauzia in the field of flowers, the one who made her feel something strange in her chest, not knowing what that feeling was, Alexandria took a liking to the lady. Is it love or just an obsession with the feeling she does not understand? "The tree that always comforted me lost its use the moment you appeared," Alexandria whispered, leaning on the tree with Clauzia in her arms. "Only you...make me feel this way." Tears formed in Clauzia's eyes as she gazed down at their hands, "This kind of relationship is not allowed, y-you could die." she said with a tremble in her voice. Alexandria couldn't show any expression but she held Clauzia's hand tightly and pressed her lips on the lady's head, "I will do anything to keep you by my side," "Even if it costs me my life." Alexandria didn't have a reason to live or die. For years, she always asked herself for a purpose. Now she finally found the answer to her questions. However, the chaos began when she found Clauzia engaged to her twin brother. Alexander.
