Fifteen days had passed since Andres woke up bald on a street in a superhero world. Fifteen days since Charles Xavier passed on his telepathic powers along with his cursed baldness. Fifteen days trying to survive in this universe where everyone has superpowers and he is barely discovering his own. And what a fifteen days they had been. Andres was standing behind the counter of the Family Mart convenience store, being the only employee on the afternoon shift. The air conditioning hummed softly. The…-

His brothers would not stop talking about their conquests. Again. "And then I told her she had to leave because I had early practice," Marco presumed, the youngest of the three. "You should have seen her face when I canceled on her!" "Amateur," Diego interrupted, the middle one. "I have three waiting for my text. I leave them on read for two days and they come back begging." Andrés listened to them as they walked toward the comic book store. It was the same ritual as always. They talked about girls;…

Andrés woke up in a white room. There was nothing else. Just white. White above, white below, white in every direction. The space stretched infinitely without visible walls, a ceiling, or a floor, though he was clearly standing on something solid. "YES!" he shouted, jumping up with his arms raised. "I KNEW IT! ISEKAI TIME, BABY!" This is real. It’s actually happening. I died and now I’m going to reincarnate in a fantasy world. This was exactly like the manga Andrés had read religiously for…

Wei Feng lounged in his chair, an island of indifference in a sea of courtly tension. He had arrived early, securing a side table with an impeccable view and, more importantly, easy access to the servants' trays. He already had in his possession a jug of wine he had managed to pilfer and a plate of candied nuts.A gray-robed minister, with a face as sour as an unripe persimmon, approached. "Prince Feng? It's surprising to see you here so soon." "Free wine is a powerful motivator, Minister Lu," Wei Feng…-

The white jade comb slid through the cascade of ink-black hair. The movement was slow, methodical, and solemn, each pass an act laden with control and possession. In the private chambers of Empress Wei Shuyin, the silence was an entity of its own, thick and fragrant with the smoke of sandalwood incense. There were no handmaidens. Only a mother and a daughter, sitting before a large, polished bronze mirror that reflected the scene with unrelenting clarity.The Empress, whose name, Shuyin, ironically meant…

Wei Feng’s stomach let out a pitiful growl, a vulgar sound that echoed in the stillness of his opulent yet disorderly chambers. He hadn’t eaten breakfast, a capital crime in his personal book of laws. He rubbed his face, feeling the sting of fatigue in his eyes and the lingering aftertaste of last night's wine. The only reason he had bothered to get out of bed and pull on a relatively clean robe was a rumor, a golden whisper carried by the servants: at the Morning Council, they would be serving the…

The air in the room was thick, a mixture of the heavy scent of fermented rice wine and her light perfume of orchids. Wei Feng inhaled the blend deeply, a concoction that was both his vice and his addiction.Beneath him, his niece, Princess Wei Yao, arched her back, an offering upon the tangled silk sheets. The moonlight traced the contours of a body the empire idolized as a symbol of purity. He, however, knew it as a map of pleasure, every corner memorized by touch…

The banquet was at its peak, a noisy sea of silk and forced smiles. At the head table, Young Master Jin Tian was in the middle of a story, his voice ringing with heroic confidence."—and so, with the beast cornered in the ravine, knowing my men depended on me, I unsheathed my Golden Sword, Moonlight, and prepared for a single, decisive strike..."Wei Feng took a sip of wine and nearly grimaced. Dishwater, he thought. From his corner, the sound of Jin Tian's boasting was hollow and metallic. He didn't see a…

Dawn arrived like a brutal reminder that the eighteen hour workdays had not ended; they had only changed format. I woke up on the cot of the servants' dormitory at 4:30 in the morning to the sound of heavy footsteps and the screech of wood against stone. The body I now inhabited protested with every joint, reminding me that this biological machine was severely poorly maintained. I need a complete nutrition and basic training overhaul. But first, survive day one. I sat…-

The Silver Cloud Clan wall appeared before me like a white stone giant. It was a statement of power with watchtowers spaced almost perfectly. Almost. There was an obvious blind spot on the southeast side that anyone with two eyes could identify. High construction budget, mediocre execution. The sun was already beginning to set, staining the sky orange. "Before dusk," the announcement had said. I arrived just in time. I ignored the main entrance with its elaborate carvings…

The first day of my new life was a masterclass in how to fail a job interview. My new body was a disaster, as thin as a wire and dressed in rags that didn't even qualify as clothing, so if this were a company, it would be in total bankruptcy. I walked away from that corrupt guard, a public official who clearly hadn't read the manual on labor ethics, and made my way into the main square where the noise was deafening. There were vendors shouting prices, children running…

At 3:07 AM, Tokyo was a silent predator. The cold seeped through the slats of the automatic blinds, clung to the soundproof glass of the 88th floor, and watched its prey: me, Kenji Tanaka. I considered myself, however, an apex predator. My office was a sanctuary of minimalism and ruthless efficiency. A single slab of polished obsidian served as my desk, free of personal objects. Only the curved holographic screen displayed a dozen data windows…
