I have been playing some games recently. And read a lot of systems in manhwa with manhua. After reading Gamer:New beginning by RageRevan And Issei: the mind of games by eraser-boi-dat. I do have something to say. I like Issei: the mind of a gamer more than Gamer: New beginnings. In the Eraser-boi-dat story, he doesn't make Issei say the attack name like a flashy introduction. He introduced it into action move.

In a world sharpened by tension and stitched together by loyalty, you never meant to become the axis everything turned on. Quietly observant and fiercely devoted, you slip into Cortis as its sixth member - the missing piece no one realized they were waiting for. Between late-night rehearsals, shared glances, and hands brushing just a second too long, you find yourself pulled between Keonho's steady warmth and Seonghyeon's dangerous intensity. What begins as harmless comfort curls into something reckless. Something undeniable. Every laugh feels heavier. Every silence louder. And every choice... Impossible. Standing at the edge of confession, with hearts on the line and everything to lose, you must finally decide whether love is worth breaking the balance - or becoming it.

One night, Elena Garcia came to a conclusion. The gulf is full of powerful and unreasonable beings who don't cooperate with each other. So, if she wants to improve the gulf's safety, the best idea is to fundate a team made of these people.

Can she organize all of them into a single team without failing in the try?

Humanity once believed Quirks were the greatest force in the world. Then the Towers appeared. Seventy-four colossal structures erupted across the globe, bringing monsters, treasures, gods, and dangers beyond imagination. Cities raised walls to survive, adventurers rose alongside heroes, and the world entered a new age where the impossible became reality. Heroes still protect the innocent. Adventurers challenge the depths of the Towers. Above them all, the gods watch as humanity struggles, adapts, and continues to move forward with the aid of the Falna they provide. Among them is Arata Kurogane, a boy with a simple dream: to always protect the innocent over chasing glory. Yet as ancient powers awaken and the world continues to change, he finds himself standing at the boundary between what humanity once was and what it may become. Standing between the past and the future, between hero and adventurer, he is about to cross the line that separates ordinary people from legends as the Demon Lord begins to rise again under a new face. But with every legend, each journey begins with a single step and each tale begins at a Threshold.

Something is wrong with reality. They call it the SIGNAL. It interrupts thoughts, rewrites time, swaps bodies, and breaks the rules of the world without warning. No one knows where it comes from - or why it chooses certain people. This is not a story. It is a collection of 30 writing challenges inspired by these anomalies. Each chapter presents a strange situation, and you turn it into your own story. But there is one rule: Every story must include: SIGNAL ACTIVE No winners. No limits. Just writers exploring broken realities... one prompt at a time. And if you start noticing the Signal outside of these pages... it's probably nothing.

This is a world where everyone's mind is incomplete until they meet their other half, who completes them. But most people don't meet their other half as babies, or grow up never knowing what it's like not to have another person in your head. Adrien and Marinette are unique on that front... and their number of pair abilities is also unique. Their parents make hard decisions to keep them safe, but when home starts falling apart, Adrien and Marinette may have to step up and learn what it really means to belong to each other when the going isn't quite so easy. *I'm using some ideas from my original novel (so I don't have to work so hard on the worldbuilding front).* Published on AO3 as "Lonely Minds" by Minythil.
