Specter of Perfection

SmiffsCity
In the ordinary world, Alexander Cage was anything but ordinary. A genius in every sense, he mastered skills that put him leagues above the average human—martial arts, biology, technology, logical reasoning, and beyond. With such unparalleled abilities, he led the World Association’s elite task force, handling missions no one else could survive. From high-stakes assassinations to saving hostages and tipping the scales in wars, Alexander was the “perfect human”—except for one missing piece: happiness. Haunted by a life that had been nothing but duty, Alexander decided to leave it all behind. One last mission, he promised himself, and he’d retire to find a new life, a normal life. But fate had different plans. In his final mission, he sacrificed himself to save his team, his life slipping away with his dreams of peace unfulfilled. Then, the impossible happened. Alexander awoke, not in the afterlife, but in a new world—a realm where magic, martial arts, alchemy, and ancient technology thrive together in breathtaking harmony. Reborn with all his memories, he is granted a mysterious “System” that promises him a fresh start and the power to shape his destiny. But as he navigates this strange world, battling villains, unraveling ancient secrets, and building alliances, he begins to realize he’s still missing something—the happiness and love he’s never known. In a land full of wonders and dangers, Alexander will rise again, not just as a warrior but as a man searching for meaning. Will he finally find the happiness that eluded him in his past life, or will his pursuit lead him down darker paths? In a world as boundless as his own potential, only one thing is certain—Alexander Cage’s story has only just begun.

The Sleepless Night

Jill Andrew, a young woman in her early twenties, sleeps soundly in her bedroom. For months, she has been haunted by disturbing dreams that blur the boundary between fiction and reality. When she awakens, traces of those dreams remain, leaving her bewildered and terrified. Jill Andrew grew up as a lonely child. Her parents were rarely present, as they frequently travelled. In their absence, she was looked after by the housekeeper, Anna Cole, whom she learnt to see as a mother figure. Anna was the only constant in her life, as her parents were often absent. Her mother, Sharon Andrew, greets her with a warm smile this morning. On a rare day off to honour their long-lost mother-daughter bond, Jill appreciates the comfort and enjoys the normalcy of the situation. But beneath her cheery face lies a deep worry, a secret she can't even confess to herself: she hasn't had her period in months. The next day, Jill confides in her best friend, Alice Thompson, who encourages her to consult a doctor. The truth that follows is more horrifying than either of them could have imagined: Jill is three months pregnant despite having never had a sexual encounter. Medical tests confirm the unbelievable, throwing Jill into a tailspin of disbelief. Even Alice, her ever-rational buddy, finds it difficult to comprehend. As Jill's bewilderment worsens, her dreams become more unsettling. One night, she awakens in her bedroom to discover Larry, a mysterious and frightening being, sitting calmly at the foot of her bed. He claims to be the father of her unborn child, a being stranded between worlds who uses her body as a portal to return to Earth. His terrifying words reverberate in her mind: "I live in you now." Jill is left on the verge of a nightmare, unable to awaken from the horrors unfolding in her life. As she struggles with the reality, she must face the terrifying prospect that her pregnancy is the consequence of something far more sinister and beyond her control. In a world where reality shifts, Jill is compelled to reexamine everything she thought she knew, including herself. Can she evade this unseen influence or become a vessel for something unspoken? As the line between dream and reality blurs, the answers lie in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.

Naruto: The White-eyed Demon

He died a nobody. Raigo Tenku lived a life of quiet brilliance and silent burnout—an office drone buried by expectations. But death wasn’t his end. He awakens in the body of Neji Hyuga, the doomed prodigy of the Hyuga clan. But this time, something's different. The soul inside Neji doesn’t just remember a past life—it remembers the truth. In a world where Naruto and Sasuke inherit the legacy of Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, Neji carries the forgotten bloodline of Hamura, the Sage’s twin brother. His power lies dormant in the Byakugan—unawakened, overlooked… until now. Armed with genius, foresight, and an Ōtsutsuki inheritance untouched by myth or prophecy, Neji refuses to be a side character in someone else’s story. If Indra and Asura shaped the shinobi world through war and reincarnation… What happens when Hamura’s heir finally takes the stage? This is the rise of a new force. This is Neji Hyuga, unleashed.

HOW I died like an IDIOT and BECAME IMMORTAL

Synopsis: Dying at 21 because of a banana? Yep, that’s how this ridiculous story begins. Alan, an incredibly average guy (maybe too average), meets his untimely end in a way so pathetic it wouldn't even make the back page of a local newspaper. But instead of staying dead, he wakes up in a bizarre new world filled with elves, demons, beastkin... and absurdly muscular orcs. But here's the catch: he didn’t get any overpowered ability. No mountain-shattering strength, no dragon summoning spells. Just one thing—immortality. Cool? Maybe. Annoying? Absolutely. Now, thrown into a world of chaotic quests, strangely alluring girls with animal features, and enemies who seem allergic to logic, Alan embarks on a totally unheroic journey. Not to save the world, but maybe just to find a comfy bed where no one tosses him out the window every morning. A fantasy comedy with a dash of madness... just like its immortal idiot of a protagonist. Alan Just a regular guy with zero ambition, zero talent, and somehow... zero mortality. Alan never trained with a sword, never read ancient grimoires, and definitely never dreamed of saving the world. He’s the kind of person who’d trip over his own feet and blame the floor. After dying from a banana peel incident (yes, really), he wakes up in a fantasy world where magic is real, monsters are everywhere, and women have tails, ears, and serious attitude problems. His only ability? Regeneration so broken, he literally can’t die. His goal? Unclear. His strategy? Mostly screaming, running, and pretending he knows what he’s doing. He’s not a hero. He’s not a villain. He’s just... Alan. And somehow, that’s enough to break every rule in this messed-up world.

Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm

Martin was a succubus who perished at the hands of the Sun God, struck down by a single divine arrow during the epic war between gods and demons. Meanwhile, Martin, a Ph.D. in literature and a seasoned movie enthusiast, lost his life in a car accident in August 2023. By some cosmic twist of fate, the souls of the two Martins converged within the chaotic currents of time and space, merging and eventually settling in the body of an eleven-year-old boy named Martin Myers, living in Los Angeles in 1996. A world without spiritual energy? Fortunately, as a succubus, I don’t need spiritual energy to cultivate; all I need is the essence of desire. Emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and excitement—are all desires. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become fuel for my growth. Alright, let’s see what reliable ways exist in this world to stir people’s emotions en masse. Hmm, becoming a writer—sounds promising; and music, that could work too; but wow, Hollywood movies! They have a global reach; this is perfect! What’s that term again? Right—"Idea Recycler.” I’ll start with writing, but the ultimate goal is to become an international movie star. Acting skills, you say? Don’t worry—I’m a succubus, after all! Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this novel.
