"Even if I can't take revenge on Earth, I will personally fetch your souls from hell. I will be your karma in life!" said a grieving soul, laughing while tears streamed down.

I transmigrated into the world of Douluo Continent, where martial souls reign supreme. However, my awakened martial soul turned out to be completely useless, without even a trace of soul power. Destined to be an ordinary and insignificant person for life. Fortunately, a cheat system activated at the right time. As long as I crafted a persona for myself, I could turn that persona's power into my own. If I fabricated the persona of having twin martial souls, then once everyone believed I had them, I would truly possess twin martial souls. If I created the persona of becoming a god in the future, then as long as the world believed it I would become a god! Thank you for the support, friends.

Kaito Amakawa was just an ordinary boy. No outstanding talents. No clear path in life. Until one night, he downloaded the beta of a new open-world gacha game called Celestaris… and was suddenly transported to another world. There, he was told he was one of five heroes chosen by the moon goddess. A sacred altar would grant each hero a legendary weapon. But what he received… was a broken sword. Dull. Cracked. No class assigned. No elemental affinity. The system rejected him. And the Church erased him from history. While the other heroes gain power, fame, and royal training, Kaito is cast aside as a failure—someone who was never meant to exist. But being a hero isn’t about having the perfect weapon. It’s about refusing to give up… even when the world expects you to. This is the story of Kaito: the hero born from rejection, the will that defies the gods, and the forgotten sword… that’s about to awaken.

Born unmarked and deemed worthless, Kael never expected anything but an early grave.

As the only one who can break the system itself.

Look, I wasn’t aiming high. Wake up in a romance novel? Fine. Get stuck in the body of a pitiful side character? Unlucky, but manageable. All I wanted was peace—a quiet life with three meals a day, no scheming nobles, and definitely no getting tangled in the main plot. So explain to me why mysterious strangers keep knowing my name, why long-forgotten secrets are crawling out of the woodwork, and why everyone suddenly thinks I matter. I didn’t ask for power. I didn’t ask for romance. But it turns out the story’s not following the script anymore. And neither am I.

Eli Marris grew up in a home painted with silence and shattered glass. His father was a “hero” — polished boots, silver jaw, government-endorsed — but behind closed doors, he was a monster with a badge. His mother? A husk. Trained to smile through bruises. The only light in Eli’s life was the flicker of Saturday night supervillain news — not the propaganda, but the chaos, the passion, the wild unchained freedom in their eyes. Not empty. Not plastic. Alive. As a boy, Eli started to mimic them. He’d collect old news clippings of famous villain heists. Paint his face. Talk in voices. He didn’t want to hurt people… he wanted to feel like them. Something in their rebellion stirred something broken in him — not hatred, not cruelty — but longing. A sick, beautiful yearning to be free the way they were. At 14, after his father “snapped” and killed his mother in a drunken rage, the government hushed it up, pinned it on a local powered kid. Eli spoke out — screamed the truth. No one listened. So they made him disappear. Eli didn’t awaken a power. He was given one. He became part of a government “adjustment” program for troubled youth: a euphemism for human experiments. They injected him with a forbidden symbiote strain — a raw nerve of emotion-enhancing aether made from the remains of dead powered criminals. The result? His body didn’t reject it. It embraced it. Held in The Spire, a maximum security supervillain prison. They keep him in a room with mirrored walls — not to observe him, but because he hates seeing himself. The guards wear emotion-dampening implants to avoid being "infected" by his presence. Inmate rumor says that if he ever escapes, he won’t burn the world. He’ll love it until it screams.

HE WAS SUPPOSED TO AWAKEN A POWER. INSTEAD, HE AWAKENED NOTHING. Louis Grey is the son of two legendary Earth Defenders, but when his elemental evaluation reveals he's powerless, his world crumbles. Mocked, abandoned, and broken, Louis becomes a target in a world where strength is everything. But fate has other plans. When a devastating alien invasion shatters the city, Louis is abducted by the same monsters that once killed his parents. Subjected to a brutal experiment, Louis is implanted with a living alien core, a weapon to annihilate humanity at once but instead the core grants him incredible powers making him, half human and half monster. But now, Louis is Earth's only hope of defeating the invaders, but the more he uses the core, the more it mutates him, transforming him into something far more scary.

For a thousand years, the Empire of Verdun has ruled in peace and prosperity, rising from the ashes of the Great War to become the strongest force the world has ever known. But history has a way of circling back—and now, something ancient, something long buried, is beginning to stir. Forgotten secrets are resurfacing. Strange forces are gathering in the shadows. And the empire’s golden age may soon come crashing down. In the midst of this looming storm, a boy awakens in a desolate forest—alone, wounded, and with no memory of who he is. He has no name, no past to cling to—only questions that lead to more mysteries. Taken in by strangers, he begins to piece together a world on the brink of change: rulers tightening their grip, unrest brewing in the outer provinces, and whispers of powers that defy even the empire’s might. But the boy is different. Something in him doesn’t belong to this era. Something ancient moves beneath his skin—something the world has forgotten, but will soon remember. As rebellion simmers and old powers reawaken, the nameless boy stands at the heart of it all. His fate, and the fate of Verdun, are bound together. He must uncover the truth of who he is... before the empire’s final hour strikes. One thing is certain—the world of Verdun will never be the same again. And neither will he. {Disclaimer - I've used third party for translation purposes as english is my third language, thank you for understanding.}
