Chapter no.34: Mom

“Fuck you, Rika,” Kozen muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible over the sound of his own heartbeat. Just twenty minutes ago, he’d been sleeping, and now he was trapped inside a box filled with sand. There was no door—literally, it was like someone had welded metal panels together. A note was attached to his chest, and it took all his effort not to rip it off in frustration.

“This is a test. Get out. —Rika”

Kozen’s eyes twitched as he read the note. Whe...

New Dawn Chapter: 022

Now, the man was intrigued, and not in an unpleasant way.

It could all go very badly if he wasn't smart enough about it. But as soon as the man opened his mouth, everything became as easy as ever.

Once again, this was an anime world. The plot was well thought out and complete. All of the characters and the motivations were already prepared; he just needed to carefully change their paths so he would be safe.

Tysone didn't really care about the plot of the world; he wasn't goi...

Chapter no.33: Human Sweat

Hell. Kozen had been through hell.

Training for polyphasic sleep wasn’t just hard—it felt like fighting his own body and mind every single day. The cycles of waking after twenty-minute naps left him in a state that was neither awake nor asleep. His thoughts would blur and split, reality and dreams weaving together like tangled threads. The training drills became surreal, the days and nights indistinguishable from each other. Sometimes, his legs felt like they were moving through mud...

Chapter no.32: Training Starts

Trust. That word has always had weight for Kozen—a kind of burden, really. It’s something he struggled with, both in this life and the one before. Back then, he didn’t trust people. Not really. There was one person, though, one exception—his mother. She put all her faith in him, believed in him enough to send him off to the big city to become someone. And what did he do? He failed her. He destroyed the trust she had in him. Lied to her face. Maybe she knew it all before he died. He wo...

Chapter no.31: A Disturbed Man-Koichi Shido

Koichi Shido had a perfect life growing up. A loving mother, a strong father, and let’s not forget—he was smart. No, not just smart—brilliant. A high IQ, and if you asked him, damn good looks too. But the best part? His future. It was set in stone. He was Koichi Shido, heir to Koichi Company Inc., a global conglomerate that made billions every year.

He was destined for the top, far above the losers who surrounded him. They were beneath him. His path was clear, his throne already c...

Chapter no.30: A Monster in Human Skin

Rei sat in the back of his car, her heart pounding in her chest, staring at the back of her so-called “uncle’s” head. The word uncle felt foreign on her tongue. Her trauma forced her to look at everything, analyze everything, and expect the worst.

Her eyes flicked around the car, taking in every detail. The seats were leather—real leather, soft and expensive. The dashboard gleamed, too polished, too perfect. The car was spotless, sleek, and way too high-end for a high school tea...

Tysone was inside the lion’s den; ironically enough, he had been there many times, but the lions had been out hunting. 


As such, the moment his stupidly expensive leather shoes clacked loudly on the marble flooring, it was as if he was enveloped by a different type of aura. He pulled the lapels of his jacket straight. 


I’ve got to make a good impression.’ Tysone thought. It was not of paramount importance to be liked by them, but i...

Chapter no.29: Fear

*Trigger warning this chapter delves into dark themes of invasion of privacy and psychological warfare *

The kind of fear that makes you question everything—makes you doubt reality itself. Was this some sick nightmare? 

Could she wake up, please? Rei pinched herself, hard, desperate for this to end. Come on, wake up. 

Wake up! 

But then the pain came, sharp and real. 

No. No, no, no!

She let out a choke...

Dear Diary,

He shook his head. "Not at this price. Anything else, and we'd spend more on the store than the renovation." He grabbed the faded note taped to the door. "Besides, if we haggle, I'm sure they'll make it more affordable. I mean, they’re probably desperate to get rid of it."

Saya folded her arms, skeptical. "And why would they be so eager to sell it for less?"

He glanced at the decrepit building and shrugged. "Could be a few reasons. For one, they might be drowning in property tax...

Chapter no.27: Promise Before The End

Rika stared out the window, watching the fields of flowers blur past. The colors bled into each other—yellows, purples, whites—almost like a painting. They seemed so simple, so peaceful. But her mind was far from that tranquility. The thought kept running through her head, gnawing at her like an itch she couldn’t scratch. Would flowers still look this beautiful if the world were burning around them? Would they still bloom if everything else turned to ash?

“What’s wrong?” Tak...

Chapter no.26: Forged In Fire

The police officer’s voice was still ringing in Kozen’s ears. “You’re lucky, kid. Could’ve been charged with battery for assaulting him in a police station, but considering the circumstances, we’ll let it slide.”

Battery. That’s what they would’ve nailed him for. Kozen held his tongue as he listened to the officer chew him out. Anyone with a pair of functioning eyes could see that Takashi had slapped Rei first. He didn’t step in until it was necessary, but the office...

Chapter no.25: No Going Back

Rei tried to pace herself, walking at a steady speed so she’d get to the theater just a little before the movie started. She didn’t want to arrive too early and be stuck standing around awkwardly by herself. It’s not like she had anyone to chat with while waiting. She was going solo tonight, and the idea of hanging around outside the theater, looking like she was waiting for someone who wasn’t going to show up, didn’t sit well with her.

On the way, she started thinking about K...

Chapter no.24: The Calm Before The Storm

Today was turning out to be… perfect.

Rei knew she shouldn’t think like that—not when so much had happened, and there was a whole level of tragedy to it. But she couldn’t help it. The chaos that unfolded, the gang fight with the neighboring class, the mass exodus of students—all of it felt like the backdrop to something bigger. Something that, for once, felt like it was working in her favor.

There wasn’t much in terms of media coverage, which was weird, but the rumors ...

Everyone evacuated the classroom. Saya looked at Takashi, who was still in a mindless daze. “I don’t know… I feel like I’m losing her.” He said. “It feels like she’s distanced herself.”

And now she was the one sighing. But, she decided to push her reservations aside and treat this a little more seriously. She'd always hated when Rei's name came out of Takashi's lips, but now she felt more pity than irritation. She wondered why.

"What did she say?" She asked, sittin...

“I’ll keep my end of the bargain.” Saya said, huffing. There was no way in hell she’d go back on her word. Though, 3 million yen wasn’t a small sum even for her. But she had a trust fund; her parents wouldn’t deny her the opportunity of making it big without their direct help. “But only because I believe there’s merit and fortune in this idea of yours.” 


“I lay golden eggs with every idea that comes out of my kissable lips.”

Mai clearly hesitated. Tysone merely raised one eyebrow, curious. He’d have made a joke about a cat eating her tongue, but she was more of a bunny, so he’d save it for now. 


“It’s the lyrics…” She said, finally, pulling the words out with difficulty. “I thought you’d write some unsavory, expletive-filled song that’d have made me lose face, but I didn’t expect to find this so… beautiful. In fact…” Mai took a deep breath. “In fact, I’d like to...

Chapter no.23: A Glimpse Of Oblivion

The moment they were finally free from detention, Kohta, Miku, and Kozen made their way to the arcade near the school. The place was exactly what you’d expect—dim lights, the buzzing hum of old machines, and the sounds of 8-bit music clashing with kids’ cheers and groans. Neon signs flickered overhead, and rows of games lined the walls, from old-school classics like Pac-Man and Donkey Kong to newer ones that seemed to draw in the bigger crowds. The smell of stale popcorn hung in the air...

Chapter 012: Tournament



As the weeks turned into months, Ethan’s progress was undeniable. He wasn’t the same kid who had walked into the dojo unsure of himself and overwhelmed by the older students.


Well, he still gets his arse whooped and handed back to him on the regular, with a lot more sass than strictly necessary. 


But there was some progress!

One late afternoon, Ethan found himself in the middle of a particularly intense sparring match with Ryan. ...

Chapter 011: A Helping ‘Hand’


Ethan Cain stood in front of the Chikara Dojo, the cool autumn air biting at his cheeks as he shifted his weight from one foot to the other.


His eyes scanned the modest building, its peeling sign blending into the muted browns and grays of the surrounding neighborhood. It was nothing like the glitzy martial arts studios that advertised flashy kicks and belts that were more ornamental than functional. This place had some sort of grit. The kind of place tha...

Chapter 010: Making That Bread

Ethan Cain had always been a resourceful guy…kid.


The problem was, being resourceful didn’t exactly translate to easy solutions when you were stuck in a body far too small for the mind inside it.


He had access to incredible power—telekinesis that could do things most people wouldn’t even dream of—but when it came to money…it wouldn’t do much good at this level…or would it? 


He’d make a killing as a circus performer, for...

Chapter 09: Steven Seagal

“Karate, huh?” Ethan muttered to himself, eyeing the flier. “Maybe.”


It wasn’t his first choice, but something about the simplicity of the discipline appealed to him. Plus, karate was one of those martial arts that everyone seemed to respect, at least in theory.


He’d seen enough martial arts movies to know that it looked flashy, and it seemed like a good blend of striking and control—two things that might complement his telekinetic abilities. View Post

Chapter 08: Stronger Part II

The first thing Ethan noticed about the community pool was the smell. Chlorine—sharp and clean—cut through the air, stinging his nose. It reminded him of summer, of days when life had been simpler. Before he’d died and woken up in this world. Before telekinesis. Before Peter Parker started hounding him for friendship.


Before he had to worry about Galactus coming and eating planet Earth.


‘Back then,’ he thought as he stepped into the humid air of the...

Ethan’s arms trembled slightly, sweat dripping from his forehead onto the carpet below. His breath came out in sharp huffs, his chest rising and falling steadily as he pushed himself through the last few push-ups of his set. His muscles burned with a pleasant ache—one that had grown familiar and almost comforting over the years.

Chapter no.22: The Grip Of Madness

Rika’s mind was reeling, struggling to grasp the sheer weight of Shoko’s words. This guy was insane. No doubt about that. But insanity could be useful, couldn’t it? If she played this right, she could use his delusions to her advantage, to get the information she needed. Maybe even more.

She took a slow breath, steadying herself, and asked, “And what will you guide humanity through?”

He smiled. That smile… it sent a cold shiver down her spine. It wasn’t just a smile...

Inside the nondescript van parked discreetly a few blocks from the Tokyo Detention Centre, Takashi was surrounded by a small fortress of technology. The van’s interior was a stark contrast to its unassuming exterior—monitors flickered with streams of data, a sophisticated setup that would look at home in a high-tech surveillance center. Each screen served a specific purpose: one displayed a live feed from the camera embedded in Rika’s glasses, offering Takashi a first-person view of the...
