ROOT: Awakening

For decades, humanity has lived in a world that isn't quite what it seems. Since the Great Awakening of 1952, magic, monsters, and people capable of supernatural feats have existed beneath the surface of ordinary society. And while most people remain blissfully unaware of the hidden world around them, eighteen-year-old Cyrus Moore is about to have that ignorance ripped away, whether he wants it to or not. After a devastating accident leaves him on the brink of death, Cyrus awakens to something impossible: a power he never knew that existed within him. Suddenly thrust into a world of sorcerers, supernatural creatures, secret organizations, and dangerous mysteries, Cyrus discovers that surviving is far more complicated than simply learning how to control his newfound abilities. Every answer seems to uncover another secret, and every step forward draws him deeper into a conflict that has been unfolding long before he was ever made aware of it. With enemies lurking in the shadows and allies whose true intentions aren't always clear, Cyrus must learn who he can trust while struggling to understand what is happening around him. But the deeper Cyrus ventures into this hidden world, the more he realizes that his awakening may not be all that it seems. Something is changing. Reality is beginning to crack at the edges. Old mysteries are beginning to surface. Dangerous forces are moving in the shadows. And the boundary between humanity and the supernatural is becoming increasingly fragile. Cyrus wanted an escape from an ordinary life. Instead, he awakened to a world where magic is real, monsters are hunting, and the greatest danger may be the truth waiting to be uncovered. The awakening has begun, and reality will never be the same….

Shūdan-teki: The Prodigies of the Forgotten Club

Shūdan-teki: The Prodigies of the Forgotten Club In the heart of Tokyo, where towering skyscrapers meet ancient shrines, lies Shūdan-teki High School—a legendary institution and temple of sports. Every club is an elite arena, and every student a potential champion. Admission is reserved only for the best, through grueling exams and unforgiving physical trials. Except for one. Riccardo Yui Aliberti, a fifteen-year-old Italo-Japanese boy, enters the school with a mysterious recommendation from the principal, bypassing the athletic test entirely. Born and raised in Italy, Riccardo’s life has been shaped by unstable friendships and harsh realities, a stark contrast to the precise, rule-bound world he now faces. Suspicion and hostility greet him immediately. There’s only one way to prove himself: on the field. But Riccardo chooses the unthinkable—he joins the school’s male soccer club, the only team considered a disgrace, led by a coach infamous for his harsh methods. For over ten years, the club has failed to qualify for nationals, a black mark on Shūdan-teki’s otherwise flawless record. Yet Riccardo sees potential where others see failure. With raw talent, fierce determination, and a team of overlooked prodigies, he embarks on a relentless climb to rewrite not only the club’s fate but his own legacy. Amid fierce rivalries, deep friendships, hidden romances, and personal growth, "Shūdan-teki" is a story of struggle, passion, and rebirth—where every match matters and every voice deserves to be heard. Because at Shūdan-teki, every challenge is far more than just a game.

Umamusume: It All Started When I Got Sent Flying Ten Meter

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By Kitasan Black. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many Umamusume turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by an Umamusume. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The Umamusume, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the Umamusume world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. Non-Umamusume fan can read it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

Game Development: Starting by Healing the Players

After transmigrating to a parallel world, Chen Xu is delighted to discover that many of the legendary games from his previous life simply don't exist here. Just as he's ready to make a name for himself, he awakens the Emotion Collection System. The system allows him to grow stronger by collecting the emotions of players who experience his games—joy, sadness, excitement, fear, anger, and more. But there's one thing he just can't understand. Why is it so much easier to earn resentment than happiness? Staring at the mountain of points pouring in, Chen Xu is completely baffled. And so, his career as a game designer gradually takes a... rather questionable turn. In Undertale, countless players slam their desks in frustration: "Wait- the game was playing me?!" In Outlast, terrified players scream: "The locker moved! I'm done! I'm not playing anymore!" In Dark Souls, players begin their journey full of excitement... Only to end up yelling: "Get lost! Just leave! Take your First Flame and go! Leave the Fire Keeper behind—we don't want to link the fire anymore!" In Call of Duty, Soap, Roach, and Ghost fall in battle. In Final Fantasy VII, Zack dies, and Aerith is struck down. In Red Dead Redemption, Arthur and John are betrayed. Players around the world collectively lose their minds: "Damn you, Chen Xu! Can't you be nice to your protagonists for once?!" When a reporter asks him how he feels about the endless criticism from players, Chen Xu simply smiles. "Criticism? What criticism?" "This is the passionate encouragement of gamers around the world." "This is love." "Thank you, everyone. I'll continue working even harder!"
