"I should have stayed home and played video games." This was Ray's last thought before darkness engulfed him after he was hit by a car.
But surprisingly, instead of finding himself before the gates of hell after dying, Ray found out he was transmigrated into another world.
The world Ray was transmigrated to was called Arora World, a place where you can use different kinds of skills, magic, and even acquire powerful classes.
Ray found himself in the body of a young boy named Evan, who was studying in a hunter academy after awakening his abilities at the age of fourteen.
At first, Ray was happy that he was transmigrated into the body of someone who had awakened his abilities and could use the magic he always wanted to use.
However, as Ray went through Evan's memories, he finally realized that everything was not as simple as he had expected.
Evan had a unique physique that didn't allow him to increase his power like other people. Because of this useless unique physique, Evan was the weakest hunter in the entire academy.
And that was not all; the more Ray looked at Evan's memories, the more he realized just how troublesome his situation was.
"I know I entered this body without buying a ticket, but isn't this too much?" Ray said in a depressed voice after going through Evan's memories.
Will Ray be able to survive in this new world? Is the physique of his new body really useless? Join Ray on his adventure to find out.

Duality of Shadows
In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself.
***
Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule.
The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel.
But then, he wakes up again.
He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought.
The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters.
The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule.
But who was he to question?
Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror.
A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens.
But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings.
And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated.
The villain won!
Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself?
“What have I done?”
At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him.
Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws.
“I will find you, no matter where you are!”
Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens.
The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed.
And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person.
But this time, he wouldn’t be alone.

To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed.
You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance.
At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later.
The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories.
Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

Unveiling the Shadows: The Overpowered Side Character
Alex, the Unseen Blade, wasn't supposed to steal the spotlight. In the grand tapestry of fate, he was merely a supporting color, a whisper in the shadows against the hero's blazing sun. Gifted with powers that defied logic and shrouded in an aura of enigma, Alex could bend time, dance with death, and erase himself from existence. Yet, he yearned for a life on the sidelines, a quiet escape from the chaos destined for the "chosen ones."
But fate, it seemed, had a cruel sense of humor. When an ancient prophecy awakens a slumbering evil, the hero falls short, his light sputtering in the face of darkness. Thrust into the unwilling limelight, Alex must choose: embrace his extraordinary abilities and forge his own path, or watch the world crumble under the weight of a prophecy he never asked for.

Neon Shadows - Memories of Sin
In the shadow-soaked alleys of a city where memories are both currency and weapon, burned-out detective Maxwell Hartwell is known for his unique immunity to memory extraction, a trait that marks him as both an asset and an outcast. When enigmatic Elena Voss approaches him to investigate the murder of Victor Kane, a top memory trader renowned for his ruthless ambition, Max is drawn into a web of deceit that permeates the highest echelons of society.
Max's investigation leads him deep into the underbelly of the memory trade, where human experiences are bought and sold to the highest bidder, altering personalities and histories at will. As he navigates this dangerous landscape, he's forced to contend with his former partner, Detective Sarah Lim, who walks a thin line between law enforcement and moral compromise. Throughout his journey, Max is aided by the Archivist, a secretive figure who trades in illicit memories, providing Max with information that cannot be obtained by conventional means.
As Max delves deeper into the mystery, he uncovers a disturbing truth: Victor Kane's death is merely the surface of a much larger conspiracy that threatens to topple the precarious balance of power within the city. His investigation reveals a sinister plot to control the memory market, orchestrated by figures that blur the line between friend and foe.
Haunted by fragments of his own inaccessible past, Max must navigate through layers of betrayal and manipulation, confronting painful truths about himself and those he once trusted. The closer he gets to solving the murder, the more entangled he becomes in a struggle for power that will define the future of memory itself.
With the city on the brink of chaos, Max is faced with a choice that will not only determine his own fate but also the fate of a society where memories can be rewritten at will. As alliances shift and secrets are unearthed, Max must decide whether to continue protecting a world that has forsaken him or forge a new path that could lead to redemption—or ruin.

In Horizon City, a city pulsing with superhuman abilities and hidden powers, Alex Mercer leads a double life. To his high school peers at Crescent High, he is just an unremarkable, introverted teenager, often labeled as a loser. However, beneath this facade, Alex harbors a staggering secret: he is the formidable boss of the world's most powerful mafia, controlling the underbelly of global crime while possessing extraordinary superhuman abilities.

Silent meant that there was not even the sound of crows or sparrows. It was very quiet. This idiom can be used to describe the tranquility of the natural environment, or to describe people being silent. It came from the fourth volume of the Song Dynasty's Shi Daoyuan's Jingde Chuandeng Lu. The words " absolute silence " and " absolute silence " both meant that there was no sound at all. However, silence was generally used to describe a crowd or a place where people gathered, which referred to 'quietness', while' silence 'was mostly used to describe a vast natural environment, which referred to' quietness'.
Demoness's explanation referred to beautiful women, rebellious women, non-mainstream women, women who were frivolous or dressed too seductively. The term "demoness" comes from Cao Zhi's "Mingdu Chapter" in the Three Kingdoms and Liang Hexun's "Mocking Liu's Discussion" in the Southern Dynasty. Demoness could also refer to a female demon or an enchanting woman who had cultivated into a form in myths. The term demoness could be used to describe a woman with demonic arts or evil behavior, or it could also be used to describe a seductive woman.
Huajian refers to a style of ancient Chinese Ci poetry, which was mainly active in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. It got its name from the Collection of Flowers and was edited by Zhao Chongzuo. It included the works of more than ten poets such as Wen Tingyun and Wei Zhuang. The theme of the poem was to describe love, women, and natural scenery. The style was gentle and beautiful, with a strong sense of life and emotional color. The works of the Huajian School of Ci were flashy and often wrote about love. Most of them were written by male poets about the "boudoir love" of women's lives. It played an important pivotal role in the development of literature and was one of the foundations for the development of Ci.
Demoness was a Chinese word, pronounced yāon. Its explanation referred to beautiful women, rebellious women, non-mainstream women, frivolous women, or women who dressed too seductively. This phrase first appeared in Cao Zhi's "Mingdu Pian" during the Three Kingdoms period and Liang Hexun's "Mocking Liu's Counseling" poem during the Southern Dynasty. In ancient literature, demoness was often used to describe beautiful and enchanting female characters. It could also refer to the female demons or enchanting women who had cultivated themselves in myths. The term " witch " could also be used to describe those women who looked enchanting and scheming, implying that they might use their beauty and tricks to confuse others or achieve their own goals.
"Deception" was the wrong word. The correct word should be "tireless in teaching". This idiom means to be willing to teach others without feeling tired. It originated from the Analects of Confucius. Confucius emphasized the importance of never getting tired of learning and teaching. This idiom is used to describe the very noble qualities of a teacher or tutor.

The shadow was real. In " Celebrating Years," the Shadow was Chen Pingping's personal guard, the younger brother of the Great Grandmaster Sigu Jian, and the son of the Dongyi City Lord. He had always been by Chen Pingping's side and was her most loyal guard. Although the Shadow's identity had always been kept a secret, he played an important role in the play and helped Fan Xian assassinate the Qing Emperor. Therefore, he could confirm that the shadow really existed.
The shadow was real. Although some people speculated that the shadow might just be a statue, when the sun shone, the two shadows would attract each other and connect when they were very close to each other, which meant that the shadow really existed. In addition, in the drama " Celebrating Years," the Shadow was a mysterious character. He had always been by Chen Pingping's side and was her most loyal guard. The Shadow's true identity was Great Grandmaster Sigu Jian's younger brother, the son of the former Dongyi City Lord. Therefore, based on the information provided, we can confirm that the shadow really exists.
Gao Tian's explanation referred to the sky, the heavens, or the high sky. In Han Feizi's Shuo Yi, there is such a sentence: "To kill oneself to appease the master, to regard the master as the highest heaven and the highest mountain, and to regard oneself as the lowest valley." Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, also wrote in "Inscription on the Cottage Wall of Guo Thirty-two Ming Mansion in Qiyuan":"I was shocked to go to a small country, and I wanted to ask the sky." These were all using the word 'high heaven' to express the meaning of heaven. In addition, it could also be used to represent the sky. For example, the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai wrote in the "Ode to the Great Hunt":"It looks like a beast falling from the sky, falling from the great wilderness." It could also mean the sky was high and bright. For example, Xue Daoheng, a poet of the Sui Dynasty, wrote in "Late Summer":"The high sky is clear and distant, and the autumn air enters the cicadas." In short, Gaotian could refer to the sky, the heavens, the high sky, or the bright sky.
