You think Santa Claus can't go around the world every year in just one night? Akira has to go around the Prime Meridian once each night. Seventeen-year-old Akira Osei lives in the quiet town of Tema, Ghana, but his life is anything but ordinary. As the latest in a long line of Osei women, he bears the impossible duty of guarding the boundary between the human and the fae worlds. Every single night, Akira walks the entire Prime Meridian, sealing the Isekai- the invisible divide that keeps the two realms apart with the song of the Isekai and the staff of Saikyo Maho. The next night, he does the same in the fae world. Each journey takes exactly three hours, no more, no less. No one- not even his ancestors- knows how or why this is possible. It simply must be done. But Akira's world is shifting in more ways than one. He's supposed to be the next matriarch, but he doesn't feel like a girl at all- a feeling his strict mother, Kekeli, can never discover. Isolated from school and the outside world, Akira finds unexpected friendship in a group of humans his age, and maybe something more in Amari, a human boy who makes him feel seen for the first time. Meanwhile, deep in the fae realm, a darker power awakens. Bonsam, the dying Dark Fae King, has learned of Akira's struggles and plans to use him to shatter the boundary between worlds once and for all. As the veil weakens and truth collides with destiny, Akira must decide who he is and what he's willing to risk before both worlds fall into chaos.

Left behind as an infant and raised in the spaces between Forks and La Push, she grows up held together by her father, the Black family, and a boy who never stops showing up. When her sister Bella returns and the world begins to tilt toward secrets and danger, Blake keeps her feet planted in the only place that has ever felt safe.

Scarred by fire that never fully healed, his power is still devastating... but every use costs him something he cannot afford to lose. Beside him stands Hermione Granger. No longer just a voice of reason, she becomes his anchor in a world that demands monsters to defeat monsters. Their bond is not born of safety or peace, but forged in the quiet moments between battles - when choosing each other becomes an act of defiance. Hogwarts falls. Lines are drawn. Allies fracture. And as the fire spreads, Y/N must decide how much of himself he is willing to burn to ensure the war ends with more than ashes. Heir of Ashes is the final chapter in a dark Harry Potter AU trilogy - a story of power with consequences, love under pressure, and what remains when the fire finally fades.

In an age when maps can conquer more than armies, Elena Valenti learns to draw the world in secret. Born in sixteenth-century Venice to the royal cartographer of the Portuguese crown, she grows up among compasses and parchment - tools that decide the fates of nations. But Elena's gift is more dangerous than her father ever imagined: she alters the maps that feed empires, hiding villages, sacred sites, and entire peoples from the greedy eyes of kings. When her deception is exposed, Elena's world collapses. Her father is executed for treason, imperial fleets are dispatched to hunt her down, and the cartographers she once idolized become her fiercest enemies. Armed with nothing but ink, stolen charts, and a secret atlas written in codes no conqueror can read, she flees across oceans - pursued by soldiers, spies, and rival mapmakers who would kill for the knowledge she carries. From the markets of Lisbon to the gold-dusted cities of West Africa, from the palaces of Mughal India to the misty peaks of the Andes, Elena's journey becomes more than a flight for survival. It is a mission to rewrite the world itself. Along the way, she forges unlikely alliances - a priestess who encodes landscapes into song, a ronin who reads the sea like scripture, a rebel princess who believes maps are prisons. Each teaches her a truth the empires fear: that land does not belong to those who claim it, but to those who remember it. Sweeping from Renaissance Europe to the uncharted edges of the known world, The Mapmaker's Daughter is a story of courage and betrayal, ink and blood, and a young woman who turns cartography into rebellion. It is about how maps do more than chart the world - they define it - and how one woman dares to redraw its lines.

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.
