Now, her prestigious seat on the board of directors has been replaced by a room with pink wallpaper in Gardenia. Instead of a custom Maybach, she's stuck riding the school bus.

    [Naruto + Jujutsu Kaisen + Uchiha + Heavenly Restriction] I heard the Uchiha clan produced a good-for-nothing who can't use chakra. What a miserable life, being born into a prestigious Dōjutsu clan like that. I wonder just how pathetic that guy must look. I'd love to see it for myself. At least... that was what I thought. But when that man's presence swallowed the Byakugan's field of vision, Ryosuke Hyuga realized he had been wrong. This was no so-called good-for-nothing. This was a monster that had no place in reality itself!! ... Shingetsu Uchiha, twin brother of Mikoto Uchiha, maternal uncle of the future Itachi and Sasuke, and bearer of a Heavenly Restriction. The strongest physique in history, combined with the Sharingan. A terror beyond the limits of its era descends, and Konoha's unruly citizens meet their absolute tyrant. To complete himself, Shingetsu developed a technique to control blood and seized Earth Grudge Fear to create modified Shikigami. "If the sunlight is too intense for you, then hide from it quietly. Or do you actually think you can bring down the sun?" ... And in the Jujutsu World, where Cursed Spirits were born for reasons unknown... Tengen: "He is the beginning, the source of everything." Sukuna: "Oh... I've finally met you... the original curse!!" Satoru Gojo: "That is the source of the Three Great Families' Cursed Techniques... the one spoken of in our Clan legends!" ... Kenjaku: "Everything I've done until now was just so I could see him again... just once..." "I've hated him all this time..." "Why won't such a perfect moon shine on me?!" ...

    Nerez no longer remembers the name he had when he was just an ordinary human on Earth. It has been far too long since a literal date with destiny, or rather with the Goddess of Fate, condemned him to wander the sea of souls through a thousand different lives. All he wanted now was to escape the endless cycle of reincarnation and enjoy one peaceful last life. But just when freedom seemed within reach, he found himself in the midst of a divine battle royale for a newborn world. Can the nascent god of death find peace and tranquility in immortality? Or will his new domain, servants, and the ever-troublesome mortals make his life impossible? And even now, the looming shadow of the one who cursed him in the first place still lingers. But was it really a curse? Perhaps the Goddess of Fate had plans of her own...

    Everything began with perfection. From the mysterious appearance of the Supreme Being, a flawless universe was born. Infinite. Eternal. Untouched by darkness. Until one was born. One unlike any other. **The Traitor.** The god of evil. The first darkness. And the beginning of the end. With his rise, darkness swept across the universe, devouring kingdoms, heroes, and entire ages. What was once eternal light became nothing more than a fading memory. But even in the darkest age, one truth remained: Every age has a hero. Every war has a warrior. Every legend has a name. Yet this time, the one destined to surpass them all is not the purest. Not the righteous. Not the chosen of the light. He is the one born from darkness. A boy feared before he was ever understood. A warrior destined to walk where no hero had ever dared. And a name written into a prophecy older than the universe itself. Because every era... every war... every sacrifice... every fallen hero... was leading to him. Not by chance. Not by fate. But by design. He was always meant to rise. He was always meant to become the one who would stand between salvation and destruction. The one who was foretold. The one who will rise when everything else falls. The true hero of the universe. But the prophecy was never complete. Because it never said what kind of hero he would become. And when the truth is finally revealed, the universe will have to face its greatest question: Was he born to destroy the darkness... or was he born to become it? Want more?

    In a world where Heroes are celebrities, Villains are feared legends, and superhuman abilities can decide the fate of nations, Cassian Vale has nothing. He is Null. No powers. No secret ability waiting to awaken. Just an ordinary nineteen-year-old with an inconvenient habit of asking questions. Then Cassian witnesses a Hero kill a supposed Villain. By morning, the news tells a different story from the one he remembers. One missing piece of footage leads him into a world of Hero rankings, government secrets, dangerous Villains, and the Concordat, an independent organization containing some of the most powerful people alive. At its center stands Aurelius, the world's greatest Hero. Cassian could never defeat people like him in a fight. So he won't fight them on their terms. He'll study them. Because every power has a limit. Every system has a weakness. And even the strongest person in the world is still human.

    Four years of his life locked away, alone, building a world pixel by pixel. Ren never expected to live to see it finished. When the update reaches one hundred percent, his heart stops. And when he opens his eyes again, he's inside Elysium Zero, the game he himself created - trapped in the body of the most feared villain on the entire map: Zael, the demon king of Malgrath, a fourteen-hundred-year-old tyrant he himself designed to be hated. New laws. A throne that isn't his. A kingdom that starts to change under his name. But that was never the real problem. Zael's original soul is still there, fragmented, waiting for its turn to return - and with every day that passes, the countdown ticks forward a little more. Something watches him from the shadows. Something that already knows his real name, and that has given him, perhaps, only a few more days. What's left for a man when the time he was lent runs out?

    She died exactly as she lived - convinced that it was all someone else's fault, never hers. "Your pyramid scheme ruined the lives of thousands of people!" the thug screamed, brandishing the knife furiously. "Thousands? Only thousands? I thought it was more." She furrowed her brow, genuinely disappointed. "My accountants told me tens of thousands. I'll have to have a word with them. They inflated the statistics." The knife slid between her ribs, and everything went dark. And then she woke in silk sheets, in a body that wasn't hers. From the mirror, the face of Barbara Hron stared back at her. "Holy crap. Someone here really went overboard with the cosplay." And in the bushes beneath the window lurked he - Croy Korman, the main character of the book, a Nevite who in two days was meant to drive a hook into her chest while the crowd was meant to applaud. "I won't beg for mercy. In two days I'm supposed to die in the Ring anyway. If I have to die, at least let it be in the spotlight. Imagine my funeral: the last person to touch me would be a guy who hasn't washed in a month. If your stench transfers to me, no one will even cry at the wake. They'll just fan themselves with handkerchiefs and ask if the coffin is sealed. And now sit down. You'll be clean, even if it's the last thing I do." Available in English and Polish.

    𝓢𝓱𝓮 𝓱𝓾𝓷𝓽𝓼 𝓻𝓮𝓿𝓮𝓷𝓰𝓮. 𝓗𝓮 𝓬𝓻𝓪𝓿𝓮𝓼 𝓬𝓸𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓸𝓵. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐚𝐦𝐞. Seven years ago, my mother and sister were murdered, and the girl I used to be died right beside them. The world came to know me as Cherry, a cold-hearted assassin with one goal: hunt down every last person responsible for my family's annihilation. I don't do distractions. I don't make mistakes. And I definitely don't get involved with men like HIM. New York's most ruthless kingpin, Ryder Black, rules the city through fear, power, and absolute obedience. He's built an empire no one dares challenge. But when I execute a hit right under his nose and disappear before his men can even draw their weapons, I do the one thing no one else ever has: I capture his attention. The plan should have been simple. Use him. Leave him. Finish my revenge. Instead, every lie draws us closer. Every move becomes a game neither of us is willing to lose. Somewhere between the bloodshed, betrayal, and secrets, hatred twists into something far more dangerous. Obsession. The kind that consumes us both. The kind that turns two predators into each other's greatest weakness. And when revenge has always come first, loving each other may be the one thing neither of us survives.
