In a world where contradiction is treated as a defect, six teenagers learn the cost of being uncontainable.
The International Invert Remediation & Treatment claims to stabilize dangerous abilities through ethical containment. The public believes it.
Rhea doesn't.
When she meets others like her-each struggling with powers that surface through trauma and emotion-they begin to question a system that frames them as variables to correct.
They do not want to destroy the world.
They want to exist in it without being rewritten.
But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone is preparing for something far larger than containment.
And Rhea keeps seeing the same vision-
A child.
Still.
Unchanged by contradiction.
Watching.
Friction is a psychological sci-fi thriller about power, identity, trauma, and the cost of refusing to be fixed.

As the Villain, Shouldn't There Be a Limit to My Power?
Ron transmigrates into the world of his favorite dark fantasy game-and straight into the body of its first doomed villain. His opening scene? A kidnapped saintess lies beneath him, five hundred holy knights are already surrounding the building, and the game's strongest protagonist is only ten minutes away from chopping him into pieces. The system gives him two choices: 「Violate the future White Saintess, die a villain, and unknowingly save the world. 」 Or... 「Fight fate itself and survive. 」 Ron chooses to live. Using rather improper means to take away a nun's purity-how many years in prison would that earn? Looking at the nun lying before him, Ron couldn't help but seriously ponder that question! "Beautiful Miss Nun, rest assured, I have absolutely no interest in polluting your soul!" Armed with knowledge of every hidden treasure, every secret route, every overpowered exploit, and even an enhancement bug the developers never fixed, he begins rewriting the world's destiny. But surviving his scripted death is only the beginning. The repaired worldline wants him dead. A mysterious "Repairman" is correcting reality. A system unlike anything he expected is pushing him toward impossible conquest missions. And the women destined to become the world's greatest heroes... are beginning to see the infamous villain in a very different light. In a world where fate has already decided everyone's ending, Ron intends to break every rule, exploit every loophole, and turn the worst possible start into the greatest advantage. After all... If the world is just a game, then no one knows how to beat it better than the player who already cleared it.

The Sentinel Group Darling
She was afraid they would drink her blood, and they were afraid she would be hungry and cold. She thought she was a reserve of food, but they treated her like their life. Until the commander, whose face was covered in black markings, spoke to her haltingly in his newly learned Chinese: "Drink this, it's a nutrient solution, it doesn't suck blood." "Sleep, this is a hibernation pod, not a coffin. We are not vampires." "You are the guide, and we are the sentinels." "Our mission is to protect you." ... By chance, Ye Lingxi discovered that Qimen talismans could actually reduce the contamination level of sentinels. From then on, the legend of the Xuanmen Celestial Masters began in this interstellar space. With a compass in one hand and a talisman in the other, Ye Lingxi can pull even a berserk sentinel back from the brink of death. ... Much later, everyone in the Federation knew that on that most remote, desolate planet lived twelve madmen who had crawled back from hell. They stayed by their only guide's side, never leaving him for a moment, until their deaths. (Credit to the Original Author San Qian Chi Chan)Complete
