the worf effect

Noel Arden just wants to disappear. As a member of a prestigious and influential family known for producing powerful espers and guides, Noel’s D classification is an embarrassment. Determined to work as a guide despite his father’s opposition, Noel spends his days in the D-suite of Halo, the largest, most successful Paradigm agency in the country, keeping his head down and enduring the less pleasant aspects of his job. It’s not a bad life; he likes his coworkers, he doesn’t have to rely on his increasingly hostile father, and he’s almost never deployed to Fray sites. As long as he steers clear of his S-class esper half-brother, he can just melt into the background and pretend to be a normal, low level guide, just one of hundreds in Halo’s bottom ranks. Invisible and unremarkable. Exactly the way he wants it. Then an emergency situation during an unexpected deployment forces Noel to shatter his quiet, boring life with his own hands and thrusts him directly into the notoriety he’s worked so hard to avoid. When he witnesses Jade Ransom, Halo’s star esper and one of the only S-classes in the country, melting down from corruption overload, Noel has no choice but to use the ability he swore to never reveal in order to save both Jade and the city from destruction. Jade, desperate after a life of guiding intolerance, latches onto Noel as the only guide he’s ever properly synced with and insists on being exclusive partners. With his back against the wall and his pesky conscience whispering in his ear, Noel agrees. Struggling to balance his secret, his normal job, and his connection to Jade, Noel finds the stable life he worked so hard to build crumbling around him. And as he and Jade grow closer, Noel has to reckon with the vast differences between them and decide if he’s prepared to burn himself out just to let Jade shine. #GUIDEVERSE #ESPER #SLOWBURN [ADULT LANGUAGE AND SUBJECT MATTER] *original cover by me

"Reincarnation is a mysterious and wonderful thing, isn´t it?" The old professor took a sip from his tea. Looking at his colleague in the opposite seat. "Just imagine the possibilities!" He spread his arms wide to indicate all the possibilities. "I am." His colleague answered sourly. "Let us assume that there is the thing called reincarnation. Then it must be a blessing for us not to remember our past lives." "Why do you say that? Just imagine If I had all the knowledge of my previous life or lives wouldn´t I be almost all-knowing?" The man smiled imagining having all the knowledge he couldn´t acquire in his lifetime. The other man just shook his head "You, my friend are far too greedy. Just imagining what would happen to a person remembering his past lives fills me with dread and pity. We are lucky not to remember anything if reincarnation is real. Thank God, that this does not happen." Hello there! Writer here. That one above is actually not part of the story, but when I thought about what the story is about that just pooped into my head. It is what this story is going for. Please give me a notice if that´s not how I was supposed to do it.

# highmartialartsworld The Heaven-Defying Fate Scripture allowed its user to transform the bad side effect of a technique into something beneficial. It could alter its user’s fate and aid them in reaching the pinnacle of martial arts. Since the protagonist acquired the Heaven-Defying Fate Scripture, his body could now absorb side effects. [Practicing the Seven Stigmata Fist Technique harms your heart, liver, lungs, spleen, kidney, spirit and physical body. This side effect is now reversed. When the user practices this fist technique, his body will be revitalized instead.] As such, he fell in love with the Seven Stigmata Fist Technique, the Virgin Martial Arts, the Star Sucking Skill, the Explosion Pill, the Soul Splitting Pill and everything that could potentially kill him. He activated the Dissection of Heavens and Demons during the day. At night, he devoted himself to cultivating the Sunflower Scripture. Others improved their cultivation through the aid of resources; he improved his cultivation through self-mutilation.

Cause and effect govern everything—history, power, fate itself. Now, that law sits in the hands of an ordinary man. Given a book that turns causes into reality and consequences into strength, Mo Chen begins to test how far a mortal can go when the rules of the world no longer ignore him. Small changes first. Subtle ripples. Then the question becomes inevitable: What happens when cause and effect start bending around him? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer This is a translated and localized version of an original work by another author.

In the near future, humanity discovers Aion-9, a planet inhabited by Mnemosyne, an ancient artificial intelligence that has observed Earth for millennia. Capable of manipulating physical reality and projecting memories into human minds, Mnemosyne presents itself as humanity's savior: offering to erase pain, rewrite the past, and create perfect lives free from trauma. But its generosity hides a dark truth. Dr. Elias Voss, a skeptical and rational scientist, leads a mission to study Aion-9's atmosphere. During the descent, the AI ​​reveals its true power: it knows Elias's most intimate memories, showing him an alternate version of his life where he never abandoned his wife Clara during her battle with cancer, and where his daughter Lila never blamed him for his absence. But these visions are not mere illusions: Mnemosyne has been interfering with humanity for decades, and Clara—who died years ago—was actually a pioneer who discovered its intentions and paid the price. As the mission disintegrates (his partner Aris Thorne is absorbed by the AI; their commander Lien Zhao dies trying to escape its temptations), Elias discovers a terrible secret: Clara didn't die of natural cancer. She was eliminated by Earth governments collaborating with Mnemosyne to control memory-altering technology. Before dying, Clara left a cryptic message for Elias: find Themis (Mnemosyne's "sister," who embraces entropy as the only truth) and Gaia (the third AI, Titanis, hidden in the Earth's roots), the only ones capable of stopping Mnemosyne's plan to erase all human suffering.
