If Uno were an anime...
The people at the Uno card game company had an idea to increase sales: What if we hosted a tournament for schools? We can get kids to buy the game and sell advertisement fees for broadcasting the tournament!
It didn’t seem like the best idea, but they went for it and people just loved the idea.... more>>

Adam, Sofia, and Lidia are childhood friends attending Zamenhof High School. Lidia’s father was sick with a rare disease that costed a lot to cure. All three of them were rather poor, but they all didn’t want Lidia’s father to waste away in the hospital, so they desperately tried to find a way to make money. They decided to start an Uno club at their school, so they can enter the tournament and hopefully win the ten million-dollar first prize. They thought it would be something low-effort, either they didn’t win or they did, and they could also have fun along the way. Uno is a simple card game that even has an elementary-school division. Surely, there isn’t too much strategy involved. Little did they know that there was a lot more to Uno and the competition than it seemed…

This is a story about Uno, where underneath the kid-friendly surface lies a game full of strategy and a game full of cheating, threats, and backdoor deals.
This is also a story of three friends, who have to balance friendship with desire and guilt with greed, as they begin to question what they truly want in life. <<less

Ah, yes, 2121. The second year of the decade of opportunity.
Genetic studies have produced major scientific breakthroughs and now we have new species walking... more>> around like one of those old, but still very popular Star Wars movies. Cat girls, monster girls, you name it.
2121 was basically the early 2020’s, but with some brief, extreme changes.
Technology as well had improved since what people described in 2021 in my History class, but while spam was solved, it didn't stop hackers, especially the famously notorious trio known as PLAGUE.
It didn’t stop a hacker like me either. But unlike PLAGUE, I was a nobody. I wasn’t noticed. Hell, I was still a schoolboy finishing my last year of high school!
Just like technology, my status as a nobody didn’t stop me from doing what I was about to do. <<less

An introverted orphan and a genius cybersecurity employee find himself in a romcom manga world as a 2nd-year high school student. He suffers the experience of being back to school again. Until he sees the protagonist's sister, falling for her at first sight. Well, too bad she's a Brocon.... more>>

Ironically, he also is an orphan in his second life, but the good news is: After searching around, it turned out the world is similar to his a few years prior. And less cyber secure... OK, way less secure. But he wouldn't do anything illegal now, would he? At least not in broad daylight. Maybe.

Follow the story of the main character as he experiences his first love, wastes money, and tries to get out of his shell. All while random (rich) people lose their money online... And maybe, just maybe, it turns out that he isn't quite an orphan.

Sincerely, Towering Goose... wait, this isn't a letter tho? (Psst: he gets a dog, now read it! (there's a cat too.)) <<less

In 2036, an eccentric billionaire funded humanity’s first trip to Mars as an ego project. That expedition made the most significant discovery in human history: proof of extraterrestrial life. The ancient alien outpost they found catapulted humanity’s knowledge of faster-than-light travel, genetic engineering, and planetary colonization forward by centuries.... more>>

Almost a century later, humanity has shown that despite their use of advanced technology, some things haven’t changed. Greed and xenophobia still run rampant amongst the stars, and wars are common between humanity’s dozens of extrasolar colonies.

Kayden is a recently discharged military pilot, just trying to make his way in the big universe. Fortunately for him, he’s about to stumble upon humanity’s next great discovery – one that could have an even more profound impact on the course of human history than finding the Mars outpost.

In the merciless urban jungle of Tarturus City, time is slipping through the fingers of a group of desperate souls. As the noxious fumes belch from the city's underbelly, they find themselves ensnared in a merciless temporal loop, each one meeting their demise in an unyielding sequence only to be reborn again afterward. Amidst the looming, neon-drenched skyscrapers that dominate this dystopian cityscape, a clandestine organization that is reminiscent of an old insurgency hunts them relentlessly, stalking them like prey to make sure they always die on time.... more>>

Saran, one of these tormented survivors, wages a tireless battle against the odds to rally his fellow captives. Their minds deteriorate with each grisly death, their sanity hanging by a thread as they suffer the agony of repeated brutal reincarnations. Defiant, Saran forges onward, driven by his unwavering resolve to shatter the digital chains that bind them to this vicious cycle.

The enigmatic organization that orchestrates this sadistic game presents them with a cryptic challenge that taunts and goads the survivors at every turn. The nonsensical message is as perplexing as it is provocative, searing into their minds and fueling their desperation to defy the insidious forces that seem to control their very existence, if only out of desperation at this point:

'You Can't Save Sam.'

In a gritty, neon-painted world where trust is scarce and hope is a fleeting luxury, their harrowing journey will test the limits of human resilience and the power of redemption. Will Saran and his allies uncover the truth behind this ominous message, and can they overcome the seemingly insurmountable odds to break free from their tormentors' grasp? Or will they be lost forever to the endless maze of the city's dark streets, rained over by flakes of rust from the skyscrapers around them?

Izuku was never born, he was created and programmed, as well as others that were created to hide his identity and theirs as well by them acting "normal".... more>>

The first and most successful project was him, I-M-1, otherwise known as Izuku Midoriya. The others had similar names, except with a different number by their initials given to them.

And although they were all programmed to act normal, they did have their own free will, to a certain extent. And though they had free will and acted normal, they were put into grades and Izuku was the highest grade out of them all. The Grades were Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Legendary, Ultra, Ultimate, Supreme, and Origin. And Izuku was the only Origin of his group.

At 12 years of age, Ramu was the most geekish boy in his class and was ostracized by his classmates, but it was still all fine as he was the Math teacher's darling. So no one dared to pick on him. In an effort to live up to the teacher's expectations, he studied, studied, and studied even more.

But, it was all for naught as this was what led to his downfall. Things started changing when he started to observe the faults in the teacher's explanations. His respect for the teacher started crashing down. And all hell breaks loose on the day he pointed out flaws in the teacher's explanations. Instantly, the fortunes reversed, and although he became the most popular guy in the class, he also turned into the teacher's enemy number 1.

This place called school became a hell-hole for Ramu. Everything he once knew had crashed down. So he shut himself down in his own room.

One day he started seeing weird dreams of constellations approaching him to make him his disciple. But by then, his trust in elders has reached level -1 and he said no to all of them. Then, one night, one of constellation challenges him to a math contest and he loses... hard.

"Aah... So you are average too. Nobody can beat me after all", the constellation remarks.
Hearing the exact lines Ramu thought about others being directed towards himself, Ramu retorts, "No I am better. I can beat you. I will."
"Ohh!! Then become my disciple and beat me."

And in the desperation to salvage his pride, he makes the biggest blunder of his life... signing a pact with the Devil himself.

Now at 15, he has made a name for himself among the community of [Special People] [The Gifted], yet revenge is still a far cry for him.

Hi!

What would you do if you found an ancient spaceship?... more>>

Michael Freeman is a disabled veteran that had just been fired from his mind-numbing cubicle job, which caused his opportunistic girlfriend to dump him. Now, he only wanted to spend some time in his grandfather’s mountain cabin, to unwind. Away from the drudgery of daily life and with a cold beer in his hands.

Standing in his way is an ancient spaceship with an emotional AI, nanites that have invaded his body, an international crime syndicate, suicidal FBI agent on a vigilante mission, Islamic terrorists… and that is just the beginning.

What can one man do when faced with insurmountable odds? Call it quits? Or… call some of his old army buddies and blow those obstacles to smithereens.

Can he become more than he ever dreamed, reaching further than any man before? Staying under the radar of the powers that be, while righting a few wrongs of the modern world.

He is sure of three things:

1. He really doesn’t want to follow the rules anymore… anyone’s, but his own.
2. Space is the ultimate frontier, and he had been given a turnkey technology to reach it—if they let him.
3. Those that want to hurt him and the people he cares about—will rue the day they were born.

You do not always get what you wish for… sometimes, you get one hell of a lot more.

A strong and talented soul was formed and as usual for newly created souls, went to reincarnate. This soul was someone who was preordained to benefit society in their world, in some way. As a world renowned doctor, a genius pianist and artist, a natural actor, a righteous and compassionate general, an assassin who only kills evil, and a hacker who exposed hidden crimes and gave justice to their victims, etc. But something unknown messed with his fate. ... more>>

The doctor created a zombie virus to destroy the world, the pianist was driven insane, the actor was killed earlier than expected and was hated as a coward, the general became a mafia lord who killed people without blinking, the assassin was molded into an emotionless doll who only knew to do as ordered, and the hacker only cared about entertaining himself even if he toyed people to death. All of them had unexpectedly become a villain.

A system who kept the multiverse in check wanted to stop him from continuing like this and help him, but it was already too late. His soul had splintered into six parts from his six miserable lives. So the system decided to let him experience happiness in different worlds to fix and fuse him back together.

The system was satisfied with their choice until they saw...

A game called Caster Online gives life and sentience to NPCs (Non-Player Characters). Safwan Inara, who was recently fired from the company, created an artificial intelligence system that achieves this.... more>>

Castor Online was created by the AI called Matrix, which used broken data stolen from a breach to shape the people in the world. Matrix knows that the coming people will be worse than monsters, so she divides the NPCs to mold them with misguided, fragmented ideals.

The White Eyes are coming, and mother has only ever wanted the best for her new world and has allowed a NPC named Rhune to be given Administrative privileges, but only at Matrix's discretion.

During the last ten years Rhune has been a Castless, like many others who were not able to summon magic, since his 12th birthday. As Rhune was treated as if he was garbage, things changed suddenly for him, and the life that he had known was shattered.

It is estimated that PCs (Player Characters) will enter the game in one year, which is 36 minutes in real life. Before that, the PC White Eyes are preparing to enter Caster Online, and some drastic changes will be taking place as the NPC's are altered, and their landscape as they prepare for this event. <<less
