Sakamoto, a 15-year-old boy born into poverty, lives a quiet life with his grandmother, dreaming only of earning enough money to lift them out of hardship. His simple goal leads him to enter Seoul’s Grand Tournament — a brutal competition where monstrous fighters and humans with extraordinary abilities clash for glory.

When a mysterious and powerful group of elite fighters attacks the tournament, driven by their own twisted vision of reshaping the world, Sakamoto is caught in the chaos. Thrust into a battle far beyond his original dream, he now carries the heavy responsibility of the past — and the future — in an era that desperately needs a new hero.

"There was once a hero." All have heard that phrase at least once in their lives. Whispered by old men before firelight. Carved into stone beneath crumbled towers. Inscribed on the last pages of dying books. But more often than not, it was just a prelude— a sentence used to dress up myths, to clothe legends in something that sounded like truth. "There was once a hero who defeated the Demon King." "There was once a hero who slew the last of the skyborn dragons." .......... "There was once a hero who was thrown into the abyss... and kept climbing out of it." "There was once a hero who walked with tragedy tied around his waist like a blade." "There was once a hero who changed lives—not with miracles, but with mercy." Shotaro Mugyiwara. A name drowned in dust. A face erased by time. He wakes as a blank slate— somewhere in the shattered lands of Drakastradorn, known also as Aetheria. No memory of who he was. No sense of why he still breathes. Only silence. Only echoes. Only the wind screaming through ruins that remember him better than he remembers himself. This world is not kind. It is carved by Mantra, an energy not of magic, but of something older— from beyond space, beyond time— a power not meant for mortal tongues to name. The land bleeds war. The stars above are scarred. And in this stage of gods and monsters, drama and death... he awakens. ......... "He was always the hero." A child is born in Hokkaido, on the night of January 30, 2008. A birth that was never supposed to happen. From a womb never seeded. A life conjured, not conceived. The world shook the moment he took his first breath. Because something ancient had returned. Something the world had forgotten how to fear. --- "There was once a hero... who was a great diplomat." Who could shape armies not with swords, but with words. Who could bend even fate to a shared purpose. Shotaro Mugyiwara’s life was never normal. And it will never be. Even in a world where he remembers nothing— no comrades, no battles, no lovers, no scars— even with the past ripped from his veins... He walks. He endures. He refuses to kneel. Because the truth is simple. "There was once a hero..." "Who kept moving forward."

Title: Ashes of the Fallen Crown Betrayed by blood. Reborn by fate. Crowned by vengeance. King Allen, a feared and revered warrior-king, is struck down by the very brother he once called family. As the throne room fades in a storm of blood and betrayal, Allen awakens—not in the afterlife, but in the sacred Domain of the Gods. There, the radiant Goddess Aria reveals a devastating truth: her world, not his, teeters on the edge of annihilation. Twelve demonic fallen angels—once divine, now corrupted—seek to wipe out humanity. And only a soul like his, forged in war and tragedy, can stop them. His soul is thrust into a new body: Sion Ragnar, the forsaken heir of Duke John Ragnar of the Persia Dukedom in the Clover Kingdom. Beaten, shunned, and nearly killed, Sion’s life is one of silent suffering and shadows. But now, with Allen’s strength, knowledge, and rage—he awakens as something the world has never seen. Guided by Raphaël, a divine fragment of the goddess herself, Allen must navigate courtly treachery, uncover the sins that haunt Sion’s bloodline, and prepare for a coming war unlike any other. The fallen angels are powerful beyond imagination gods turned monsters. But Allen has defied death once. And this time, he fights not for a throne… but for redemption. War is coming. But the King has returned.

[WSA 2025 Entry] For Liam Maddach, life was never fair. Born with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, he spent his days trapped in a failing body, his only escape being the world of MMA, studying every technique, every fighter—dreaming of one day being World Champion. Then, he died. But instead of nothingness, Liam awakens in a new world—a world of noble houses, imperial politics, and martial glory. His new body is massive, powerful, but also burdened by excess weight and a ruined reputation. As the seventh son of House Maddach, a great combat family, Liam is days away from being exiled and stripped of his nobility.
