Kafka on the Shore, a tour de force of metaphysical reality, is powered by two remarkable characters: a teenage boy, Kafka Tamura, who runs away from home either to escape a gruesome oedipal prophecy or to search for his long-missing mother and sister; and an aging simpleton called Nakata, who never recovered from a wartime affliction and now is drawn toward Kafka for reasons that, like the most basic activities of daily life, he cannot fathom. Their odyssey, as mysterious to them as it is to us, is enriched throughout by vivid accomplices and mesmerizing events. Cats and people carry on conversations, a ghostlike pimp employs a Hegel-quoting prostitute, a forest harbors soldiers apparently unaged since World War II, and rainstorms of fish (and worse) fall from the sky. There is a brutal murder, with the identity of both victim and perpetrator a riddle—yet this, along with everything else, is eventually answered, just as the entwined destinies of Kafka and Nakata are gradually revealed, with one escaping his fate entirely and the other given a fresh start on his own.
In a world where technology and magic rarely intersect, Alex found himself an anomaly. By day, he was a white hat hacker, navigating the complex web of cyber threats to protect the innocent. By night, he was a dreamer, lost in the pages of fantasy novels, imagining worlds where knights and wizards fought against the forces of darkness. He never thought his two worlds would collide in the most unexpected way.
One fateful night, while unraveling the intricacies of a particularly malicious virus, Alex stumbled upon something he shouldn’t have—a hidden code embedded in the virus, pointing to a clandestine network of powerful individuals. His discovery put him on a collision course with danger. As he delved deeper, a chilling sense of unease washed over him. He knew he was being watched.
Later that evening, as Alex walked home through the dimly lit streets, he was ambushed. A shadowy figure emerged from the darkness, and before Alex could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. The world around him blurred and faded as he collapsed to the ground. His life as a hacker, protector of the digital world, ended in a brutal and senseless attack.
But death was not the end for Alex. As his consciousness faded, he was enveloped in a storm of energy, a sensation both terrifying and exhilarating. He felt his body dissolve, pixel by pixel, until there was nothing but a void.
When he awoke, the cold, unyielding touch of stone greeted him. His human form was gone, replaced by a body carved from rock and infused with ancient magic. He was no longer just Alex the hacker; he was something new, something powerful—a golem.
In the mystical land of Eldoria, a realm teetering on the brink of destruction, Alex learned of the Shadows, a malevolent force seeking to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Eldoria, once a beacon of peace and harmony, now stood divided and weakened by fear and mistrust.
Guided by Elara, a voice only he could hear, Alex embarked on a journey to unite the fractured tribes of Eldoria. The humans, the beasts, the fairies, and even the demons each held a piece of the power needed to repel the Shadows. Yet, deep within the heart of the beast tribe, betrayal festered. The Dragon Emperor, once a revered god beast, had succumbed to the darkness, threatening to undo any efforts of unity.
Armed with his unique blend of cyber skills and newfound golem strength, Alex must navigate a world of magic and danger. He must prove his worth to skeptical allies, outsmart cunning foes, and harness the ancient powers that now coursed through his stone veins.
This is the story of Alex’s transformation from a hacker of the digital world to a guardian of the mystical realm. This is the "Code of the Golem."
One day, Eien discovers a book that leads him to uncover the world's untold secrets and question the very nature of reality. He fights against demons to become stronger, all while the line between illusion and reality blurs
"In the realm of typical Transmigration/Isekai story, Kafka wakes up to an inexplicable reality—he has somehow become a part of the novel that he red the night before. However, he isn't the protagonist or a formidable hero; instead, he embodies the role of a mere third-rate villain with the ability to transform into a Werewolf.
Things take a dire turn when, within the opening chapter, Kafka inadvertently causes the demise of the story's Main Character—a being with the extraordinary power to morph into a fearsome Dragon. Now faced with an unforeseen responsibility, Kafka grapples with the daunting task of safeguarding humanity in a world without its hero.
As Kafka navigates this unfamiliar terrain, he must confront not only the challenges of his newfound identity but also the repercussions of altering the story's course. Will he rise above the limitations of his villainous role and find a way to defend humanity without the expected hero by his side?, but with only his system?"

How fun would that be?

Kafka never knew who exactly the girl he was dating was all along. All he knew was that his girlfriend was beautiful, feminine, kind, and always relented if he preferred the path of being with other women than himself.
Yes, let's just say she meets the standards of her dream woman.
But who would have thought that the girlfriend of the famously friendly chairman of the commission was so inversely proportional to his original personality?
The girl managed to cover up her identity all this time without anyone knowing. Except for Sankara, kafka's eternal enemy.
