Kai Morita is minding his own business-specifically, a cup of instant noodles-when a blinding circle of magic yoinks him into a throne room full of expectations. The royal appraisal declares him talentless, the court hands him a pouch of pity gold, and the "chosen" heroes move on without him. Which is fine by Kai. He'd rather find a quiet bed, a cheap breakfast, and a rooftop with a sunset.
It's a good plan-at least until life decides otherwise.

✔THE STING (onc-19)
Kai is a slave, like any other person on board the ship, RMZ-1588. His simple life demands nothing more than a bucket of sweat and a bowl full of tasteless gruel to stay alive. And then there is his little sister- ChuChip, his angel, his breath, his soul. To keep her happy, a made-up fable is enough, she'd go on listening to them forever. All of this is about to change, when he starts seeing and hearing weird things, far more weirder than his wildest fantasies. At first people think that he is suffering from sea-madness. Of course he is not a lunatic talking to a fish, or is he? ________________________________________________ "To me, it's like an ocean themed Narnia." - Ladysapphire2018 "The plot is really intriguing and I want to know what happens next.

Cannon fodder is too lazy to act
Kai was inexplicably reborn as a cannon fodder in a game from his previous life. The same appearance but world's script seemed to have given him too many lines and scenes...so he compromised. Instead of sucking up to the young and impressionable prince, Kai... silently followed him like a mindless follower. Instead of bullying the future general of the kingdom, Kai simply flaunted his wealth silently whenever he was in front of him. Instead of begging for his life in front of the villain, Kai... let himself be tied up. Kai stared at his hands that were tied above him...then at the three perpetrators in front of him. What's the big deal? I followed the script to a T, how come I'm being punished.Complete
Being in the Wrong Reality
Kai Renner is a quiet, introspective 17-year-old living in modern-day Tokyo. He's always felt disconnected from the world around him-people are too loud, too distracted, too shallow. A brilliant mind hidden behind apathetic eyes, Kai spends most of his time alone, obsessed with puzzles, crime shows, and psychological thrillers. His favorite is Death Note, not just because of its story, but because of one character-L. To Kai, L isn't just a fictional detective-he's the only one who feels real. They share the same quirks: hunched posture, sweet tooth, insomnia, and a deep mistrust of others. Over time, Kai's admiration turns into something deeper, something strange. He begins seeing reflections of L everywhere-mirrors, puddles, even his dreams. One night, after watching Death Note for the hundredth time, Kai whispers, "I wish I was in your world." The screen flickers. A whisper echoes back. "Maybe you already are." From that night on, reality begins to bend. Time feels wrong. His reflection isn't quite his. People forget his name. The line between fiction and truth blurs. What if Kai isn't imagining things? What if the world he thought was real... never was? What if he was the one written into someone else's story?Complete

Superpowered but Still Broke
Kai was reincarnated into a world of magic, monsters, and money problems. Blessed with ridiculous powers but cursed with empty pockets, he's forced to take on bizarre quests, crazy companions, and the occasional world-ending threat-all while trying to pay rent. Between sarcastic goddesses, talking swords, and a "helpful" system that keeps charging him fees, Kai's greatest enemy might just be the economy. But when fragments of his past life start bleeding into the present, he learns that being broke isn't his biggest problem-it's staying alive long enough to fix the mess he left behind. Action, comedy, and a touch of heartbreak collide in Superpowered but Still Broke, a reincarnation adventure where power doesn't always mean prosperity.
