Custom Essence Demon King

Kenta Shibasaki was your average, hopelessly dumb high schooler — until he died in the world’s stupidest accident. Reborn in the desolate wasteland of Hueco Mundo as a hollow, his future looked grim… until a bizarre system appeared. This strange power grants him Evolution Points (EP) for doing the most ridiculous, idiotic things imaginable. From talking to rocks to challenging cacti to duels, Kenta’s absurd antics somehow make him stronger. Armed with nothing but sheer stupidity and an unbreakable will, Kenta sets his sights on the impossible: to evolve into a Vasto Lorde and survive this brutal world of monsters and madness. In a land where only the strong survive, one boneheaded fool might just rise to the top.

> “They say no one makes it out of *The Verge* alive. > But I wasn’t planning to survive. > I was planning to take everything.” --- Noah Vale was born a nobody in *The Verge*—a forgotten district of Elaris, where law, love, and luck don't exist. At 17, he knows the rules: stay small, stay quiet, survive. But when he saves the life of a powerful woman tied to the city's criminal elite, he’s pulled into a brutal world of money, secrets, and power. Every chapter of Noah's life will bleed. He'll rise, fall, kill, and lose. Because this isn't just about escaping the slums. It's about **owning the whole damn city**.

At 3 years of age, her father went missing. At 15, the muscle in her hand snapped. At 16, her mother passed away in a car accident. At 19, she was framed by her uncle. At 22, she was burned alive by her newly- wedded husband and her best friend. Perhaps it was God’s sympathy that allowed her to return to the time when she was 15 years old to re-live once more. The previous lifetime of being low- key and having forbearance resulted in betrayal and misery. In this lifetime, she must be lofty and domineering to let those who have bullied her suffer a terrible end!

"I came, I saw, I conquered!" "Of course, that was another Caesar who said it—but still, you probably won’t believe me when I say this: I originally came here just to chase a girl. So why did you guys have to go and provoke me?" Seated on the Throne of the Sky, Caesar looked down at the battlefield littered with Celestial Dragon corpses and spoke calmly. "Emperor? Maybe. But I prefer the title... Collector." "Collector of what? The world, of course!" Transported into the world of One Piece with no talent and no strength? Wait—what's this? A cheat code? Well then, that changes everything! An economic cheat? A Collector System? That sounds like nonsense... Wait—it's actually useful? Swallowing a Devil Fruit whole, he roared, "My fate is mine to command, not the heavens!" Devil Fruits? Tailed Beasts? Zanpakutō? Mine.

The prophecy spoke of one destined to destroy the world. A child born of the strongest in the entire kingdom. As fate would have it, after dying in an unfortunate encounter with a thug, Arthur was reborn as the son of Aric Sylvia—the legendary knight whose blade stood beside the throne and whose name alone struck fear into the hearts of the wicked. But power breeds fear… And fear gives birth to betrayal. In desperation to prevent the fall of his kingdom, the king—a legend as the people would call him—sought salvation from the one being forsaken by all creation: the Abyssal God. Twisting loyalty into treachery, he lent his cursed mana to his knights and sent them to purge House Sylvia, promising then if fame and power. And in a single, blood-soaked night, the noble line was wiped out. Or so the world believed. Unknown to all, the last heartbeat of the Sylvia family endured. A child overlooked, shielded by the dying breaths of his parents and a silver amulet to seal his fate. The prophecy marked him as the one who would bring ruin… But the system granted him a peculiar class—one meant for saviors. Torn between a destiny shaped by blood and the will to choose his own path, Arthur walks the knife’s edge between salvation and destruction. Will he walk the path of a hero to become the world’s greatest sage… or fulfill its vision of a dystopia and become its final nightmare?

Her future brother-in-law’s eyes make her skin crawl. The only warmth she finds comes from a sweet twelve-year-old girl in the household who clings to Maddie like a little sister and makes the overwhelming luxury a little more bearable.

His presence commands attention, and his rare moments of gentleness feel like stolen sunshine. But her heart shattered when he told her the reason for their marriage. “We’re married on paper, nothing more. I don’t have time for love. And I can’t love someone like you. Don’t expect that just because we are married, I’ll ever love you. All I need is an heir to my empire.” The words cut deeper than she thought possible. Maddie was humiliated, heartbroken, and trapped. And she made a decision to divorce her husband. But her request jolts something inside Hunter he didn’t know he could feel, the fear of losing her.

Has Maddie’s love for him truly faded or is she simply trying to forget what she can’t let go? Will she give her cold, distant husband one last chance or walk away from the only man who ever made her feel something real?

An ordinary teenager decides to attend a cosplay event in his city, even though he barely had time to prepare anything for his costume. In a hurry, he buys a simple plastic replica of the Golden Box of Aries, more as a prop than a serious attempt to represent the powerful Golden Knight. At the event, as he watches the others in their impressive outfits, he feels that his "cosplay" is nothing special. However, as he walked through the halls of the event, admiring the cosplays and decorations, something strange happened. In the blink of an eye, the light of the place changed, and the bustle of the attendees vanished. Suddenly, the teenager found himself in a dark and unfamiliar alley, with a completely different atmosphere. It is important to clarify that I am a beginner in this and I am not fluent in English, so please be patient. Also, Subaru will be present in the fanfic and the MC will not be the fucking asshole with a system or power given away (only with the power of the cosmos)
