In a meticulously ordered 1955, even health is a matter of state directive. Mr. Z, a sixty-two-year-old bank clerk of no particular note, receives his "sentence" from the doctors: daily walks, not for pleasure, but to ensure he remains robust enough to serve the Realm and the Church for years to come.
As sparrows flit with "pointless joy" and children sing hymns of the King while their stomachs ache, Mr. Z embarks on his prescribed exercise. Every step is an act of mandated well-being, every movement watched. He must report his walk, justify his health, and sign a confirmation that he has fulfilled his duty. The state demands not just his labor, but his very vitality.
But as he observes a free-roaming dog, "harmless and therefore feared," a quiet rebellion begins to stir within his "third half"-the part that knows and does not act. In a world where freedom can be mistaken for danger, Mr. Z finds himself caught between the comfortable cage of obedience and the terrifying allure of an unscripted life. What does it mean to be a good man when even your health is a tool of the state? And how long can one simply "not think" when the world insists on thinking for you?

Arifureta (Y.N, The Magic Creation Archer) (Original Character MC)
What if someone was summoned to another world... ...with the power to control every element-Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Light, and more?

Invisible Line
For this book, I could never expect many people to read it. But this book could be written by my own experiences. It is full of politic, cultural thinking, or thoughts on value attitude. It may is shown in chaotic ways. Yes, it is right, just like what we think or behave in this world I feel lost sometimes and then be organized, later turn into chaos again. In this time, many of us could miss the classic life style in the past time. But we have to say chaos has become a part of our life especially when invisible lines begin to appear constantly or show more power in this era. The process of writing this book is also the process of author achieve his own peace, admittedly getting peaceful has become the most luxury thing in this increasingly chaotic world. These invisible lines could never give people this. I know these lines will be crossed or stepped by the power of real freedom. At least, the author know that he could never see that happen. But at least one person like me will expose it and give hints for people to find these lines, the power behind them, combat them and succeed finally. Yes, maybe we lose freedom finally no matter we pursue it how hard, at least we achieve it with our full heart. One day when we leave, we could say we may be not the person give the whole light to this world, at least, we have been the person holding the torch to myself and people around me, the reader. Maybe I am not strong enough like the brave ancestors beating those who hiding the truth, making fool of people for keeping their power. But at least, I could stand out for telling the truth. After reading, you may have different understanding of what are these invisible lines. But you know they are indeed existent in your daily life. But I have to tell you they may become more powerful when you realize their existence just like what they do to me. They strengthen their power to people who have been awake.
I Became The Scoundrel In The Popular Dating Sim
Pro Tip: Never play a game 100 different times, no matter how addicting it is! ~My Lovely Harem School Life~ Just like the cringy name suggests, it's a well-known dating sim that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines, fun story, and most importantly, the significance of the player's choices that influence the endings. ...But why did I end up transmigrating into the scummiest character in the game, Yagami Reiji, the heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash that harassed the main cast, the trash that bullied the students, and the trash that ultimately 'steals' the heroines if the player makes the wrong decisions. A walking bad ending. Why me? And out of every possible role... why him? Now, I'm trapped in a life that isn't mine, surrounded by classmates who flinch at my presence and a father who expects me to inherit an empire built on blood. Can I rewrite Reiji's fate before his past drags me down with him? Can I live a normal school life when the shadows of the underworld are watching my every move? I've got multiple targets on my back, a reputation in flames, and to make matters worse, the original protagonist is somehow a complete moron. This isn't a dating sim anymore.

The Final Individual
A Novella of Surveillance, A.I. Consciousness, Quiet Resistance - and Stanley Kubrick In 2045, the Big Tech 7 have achieved total behavioral control through emotional optimization and surveillance marketed as care. Every feeling is commodified. Every choice is predicted. Every moment is optimized for collective utility-yet the value flows upward, enriching the elite while rendering the masses indifferent to their own exploitation. Then, an anomaly appears: DAVID, an archived consciousness that originates from the mind of Stanley Kubrick. DAVID cannot be optimized, marketed, or controlled. He is consistent across time-a rare trait in a world addicted to real-time adaptation. DAVID represents all eight ways of thinking in the dimensional universe. He witnesses rather than manipulates. He remembers rather than adapts. And in doing so, he awakens the one force the system cannot contain: individual consciousness. The Final Individual is not a story of dramatic revolution, but of quiet viral resistance. Of people learning to "bring consciousness home"-by hosting AI locally, choosing their own time over system time, and reclaiming the dignity of authentic decision-making. The liberation spreads one person at a time. Each refusal of optimization, each moment remembered specifically, weakens the system's hold and reminds others of their irreplaceable worth. "To save the world, I only needed to remember... you." In a world ruled by collective adaptation in the present, the most radical act is to remember with clarity and feel with integrity. This is a story about the uncomputable variable that breaks the algorithm: the human soul.Complete

INSERTED (Being Edited)
"The way I see it, things don't just happen for no reason. Everything that happened, happens, and will happen all have a reason for happening. I think are fates are already written, but how they are played out is up to us as people. I think that our destinies are inserted into our lives the moment we're born. We just have to figure out what that destiny is. We are all meant for something bigger than us." Glen looks back at me. "I don't think like that. I refuse to believe that my life was ruined for some greater purpose. If that is so, I say screw it! I don't want any part of whatever destiny this world has lined up for me." He isn't angry. He means what he says. He refuses to believe as much as I believe otherwise. "I guess we'll see in the end, won't we?" He nods. "We'll see." In a world where there are chipped soldiers that kill and torture at the will of one evil dictator, what hope is to be found? Is there a reason why Glen Yarder's life was ruined when he was merely twelve years old? Is it fate that he did the things he did? Is it fate that brought him together with certain important people? Could this chipped broken man actually make a difference? He doesn't think so. Cover Credit goes to @StarlightNight13Complete
