Devil of the Red Abyss (Hiatus)
Abandoned at birth, Issei Hyoudou's life began in the cold stone walls of a quiet church-a sanctuary that would not last. When fire devours everything he knows, seven-year-old Issei is cast into a merciless world, alone and freezing, until fate delivers him to a man named Renji Naberius... and two mysterious girls, Kuroka and Shirone. But safety is an illusion. Renji is no ordinary guardian-he is a Devil, and he offers Issei a choice: obey, or those he cares about will pay the price. Thrust into a world of dark experiments and forbidden power, Issei becomes the subject of a brutal procedure: his heart replaced with the SSS-Class artifact, Blood of Entropy. Pain beyond imagination, limbs torn and rebuilt, humanity tested and fractured-Issei's survival depends on one thing: protecting the only family he has left. As his body adapts, merging with the artifact, Issei discovers his own terrifying potential-a Super Devil with ten wings, an unstoppable force, and a bloodline of power that could tip the balance of life and death. But the price of power is high: his humanity fades, obsession with his dependents deepens, and the line between protector and monster blurs. Devil of the Red Abyss is a story of survival, trust, and the thin line between love and control. It asks: how far would you go to protect the ones you love when the world itself seems determined to destroy you? High School DxD is owned by TNK Studios, Ichiei Ishibumi.

I Died and Got Reincarnated as a Girl, But I Died Again
Life in Beverly Hills was supposed to be glamorous, but for one misfortunate, overworked anime-loving salaryman, it was nothing but endless work hours and only a few stolen hours for J-pop and manga. Fed up, he decided to quit in style... only to be slammed by an SUV and fried in a tangle of electric wires. Sad. But when he opened his eyes again, he wasn't in California-or in his own body. He was a Japanese middle school girl called Nagisa. Somehow, that felt like an upgrade: school festivals, late-night karaoke, and even a first girlfriend... Life was good. Then came the Twist: her parents were secret ninjas. And not just any ninjas; part of an elite program that turned children into superhuman prodigies. Stealth, deadly ninjutsu, seduction, combat magic-Nagisa mastered them all. But her first big mission turned into her last when she alongside sixty other young assassins were sent to take down a supernatural threat in Nara: an eleven-year-old girl who could shrug off bazooka fire. It was a massacre. Nagisa's body was obliterated. End of the story? Not quite. A shadowy organization connected to her clan salvaged what remained of her and rebuilt her into a silvery-blue cybernetic weapon-the Terminatress. Now part demon-tech, part human mind, Join Nagisa on her adventures: battling monsters, uncovering conspiracies, and coming to terms with the fact that she's been killed twice already... and might not survive a third time.
Reverie and Nightmares
Ryuga Shirogane, a senior in a high school in Japan, never finds it troubling to strike a question or an entire discussion amongst his peers or strangers, stumbles upon Mikan Alexander; a European girl in the school library who is a little out there, and to put bluntly, extremely quiet. In fact, she cannot speak at all, relying on the use of a notebook. Figuring that both had areas in need of improvement, the two opt to help each other out in exchange for each other's support. The two grow closer, spending time whenever they could to learn more about the areas where they're lacking, and having a great time. That all changes when they eventually find themselves looking for a mysterious box, hearing that the box was haunted. Ryuga shrugs this off, believing that such rumors had to have been lies, but Mikan begged to differ; she knew that something was important with such a box. And although he couldn't have believed it to have been anything of importance, the two unleashed the devil's daughter, Saki, who has now decided to haunt them both. Saki decides to haunt Mikan from the shadows. Mikan has something to do with the devil's daughter, Saki, giving her reason to purposely make life impossible. And. Is it a reason as twisted as the very existence of the wishes that come with it? Saki grants three wishes, and three wishes alone. Whether you're up for the consequences after said granted wishes, that can change your everyday life, or perhaps not yours, but someone awfully close to you. Whether Ryuga can save Mikan like the man he hopes to be, or if Mikan could try as the woman she'd thought herself to be with all the hidden stitches and wounds.
