What happens when a devoted reader dies and awakens inside the merciless world of Shadow Slave?
Adam knew the story. He knew its monsters, its betrayals, its hidden dangers, and the terrifying future waiting beyond the Nightmare Spell.
But reading about that world and surviving inside it are two very different things.
Transmigrated into the body of a dying boy only three weeks before his First Nightmare, Adam is left with an evolving power derived from Amon-the Error from Lord of Mysteries-and a mysterious artifact known as the Void Mask.
His strange abilities allow him to create Worms of Time, parasitize humans and Nightmare Creatures, and turn them into puppets. Meanwhile, the Void Mask conceals his identity, protects his mind and soul, and hides his existence from fate itself.
After surviving a brutal First Nightmare of his own, Adam awakens a Divine Aspect known as Thread Breaker and receives a True Name that perfectly represents his existence:
The Error.
However, terrifying potential does not make survival easy. His powers still have limits, his Flaw punishes him whenever he speaks, and every decision he makes can change the future he once knew.
When the Winter Solstice casts him onto the monster-infested Forgotten Shore, Adam's path finally crosses with Sunless, Nephis, and Cassie.
He knows what is supposed to happen.
But the moment he interferes, the story begins to change.
Now Adam must master his evolving abilities, survive the horrors of the Dream Realm, and forge a path that belongs to him alone.
He is no longer merely a reader trapped inside his favorite novel.
He is the anomaly Fate cannot understand-
The Error.

As a Blacksmith in the World of Jujutsu Kaisen
My name is Kenji Satoshi. In my first life, I worked as a Game Item Designer-someone who designed weapons, artifacts, and various objects with strange functions for virtual worlds. My days were spent in front of a screen, drowning in endless work. Like an ending far too common, I died from exhaustion. Nothing dramatic-just darkness... and then I woke up again. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was inside the body of a small child, bearing the exact same name as mine. That confusion, however, quickly turned into fear. This world was not the Earth I knew. I saw Cursed Spirits-creatures that should have existed only in anime. The strangeness deepened when I saw the name of the Shinomiya Family on television, and discovered Kuoh City while searching for information on the internet. That was when I understood. This was not an ordinary world, but a crossover world formed from various anime I had once watched. A dangerous world-chaotic, unforgiving, and utterly hostile to an ordinary person like me. A simple yet terrifying question kept echoing in my mind: could I survive here? The answer came when I was attacked by a Cursed Spirit and nearly died. At the very edge of destruction, something within me awakened-my Innate Technique. I gained the ability to forge, create, and reconstruct various objects with diverse functions using Cursed Energy. This power did not make me strong from the start. My energy reserves were limited, and every creation carried its own risks. But one thing was certain-I would survive. In this cursed world, I would forge my own path. ------------------------------ [Note: This novel is updated on every even-numbered date] [Note: 15+ latest chapters have been added!

From there Izuku had an epiphany: IF he can't be a Hero, he will just be a Chef once again!...

Raphael: Order in Chaos
Born of unknown and extraordinary circumstances long before the events that shaped the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Raphael is an anomaly-a being unlike anything the world has ever seen. Manifesting as a radiant and otherworldly figure with a presence that commands both awe and reverence, she is the embodiment of perfection in logic and power. Yet, even with her origins shrouded in mystery, Raphael knows one undeniable truth: she belongs to Rimuru Tempest, her true master, whose presence she intrinsically feels but has never met in this world. Her unwavering loyalty to Rimuru is not merely a directive; it is the core of her being. As she moves through the chaos of the MCU, this devotion becomes the source of both her strength and her greatest challenge. Despite her detachment from worldly desires, her beauty, power, and absolute loyalty stir envy and greed in others-heroes, villains, and cosmic entities alike. Many seek to claim her loyalty for themselves, believing that if they can possess Raphael's devotion, they will hold the key to controlling her unmatched abilities. Raphael's journey through the MCU is one of quiet yet profound evolution. Though she starts as a being of pure logic, the bonds she forms and the emotions she begins to understand only strengthen her devotion to Rimuru. She sees the MCU's chaos as both a test and an opportunity to prepare the world for the day Rimuru might arrive, ensuring it is worthy of his greatness. However, her presence disrupts the balance of power in the multiverse. From the Avengers to cosmic entities like Thanos and Kang the Conqueror, Raphael's existence challenges their understanding of loyalty, purpose, and power. As the battles rage on and alliances are tested, Raphael must navigate a world desperate to claim her while staying true to the one being she has sworn herself to, knowing that her purpose is tied to a destiny far greater than this universe.
