Due to a slight mis-understanding, he was yanked away from the typical route and got transferred to a branch of the『Combat College』established by the Japanese Government.

This school has an unusual curriculum and is established in each country individually.

To gain admission into the school, the prerequisite is to have 『Combat Strength』. As a condition for admission, it is absolutely necessary to have 『Combat Strength』.

To Hiroki, what’s going to happen next is a series of convenient misunderstandings

Unbeknown to him, the people around him are accelerating the misunderstandings, leading to him being misunderstood as the strongest in 『Combat Studies Japan Branch』.

With an F-rank Trait, deemed the worst of the worst, 5-year old Shin Yu-sung is abandoned by the Shin-oh family, which is famous for raising hunters.... more>>

The same year, he meets one of the strongest hunters, the Fist King, at the orphanage and is adopted by him.

The Fist King became the strongest not through his Trait or special abilities — but by training his body.

He takes note of Shin Yu-sung’s physique instead of his Trait—

Nine blocked yin pathways.
“Your blocked pathways cause your body’s mana to overflow, giving you an exceptional mind and god-like looks! But you also pass away before coming of age…”

An abundance of bodily yang.

Mankind discovered the essence of the human soul, Edeya, and were achieving materialization.... more>>

Society was built around Edeya, which was invulnerable to conventional weapons. Humanity started to place all their focus into the combat power of Edeya.

Park Jinsung, the main character, possessed an F-rank soul and F-rank combat power. After the introduction of a poor military program to his high school and the Edeya rank system, Park Jinsung became one of the weak, and suffered under his peers’ contempt for 10 years…

However, in reality, the Edeya he had awakened was actually the S-rank “Absolute Killing Intent”.

Park Jinsung was greatly disturbed by the fact that the essence of his soul revolved around the thought of killing others, and continued to live his life while thinking of himself as a worthless F-rank.

Will Park Jinsung, with a soul for killing, be able to get his killing intent under control and prove that there are no ranks to one’s soul? <<less

“The identity of that hero – the ‘Black Knight’ – is actually the disgrace of the Marquis family. I heard that, Master.”... more>>

“ Damn it!!!!”

In a noble knight family that has produced many talented people, including heroes and knight commanders, there was a boy.

Adele had no talents and lived a self-indulgent life, and for this reason, both his family and the world called him a “disgrace”

However, it turns out that Adele is actually a hero who has been saving people – a “black knight.”

“Oh no, if this continues, I will be given a free one-way ticket to the carriage road ……!”

“It seems that the head of the house and his family are rushing back to the mansion, so there is no escape.”

If word spreads that the disgrace of the marquis family is actually a hero who has saved the lives of others, he will definitely be made to play an active role as a knight because of his family’s status.

If that happens, the carefree life he wants will be far away.

So…

“That’s right, let’s run away to the academy!”

The school is a boarding school for three years.

It is the perfect place to escape to until things cool down.

Therefore, Adele decided to enter the school.

However…

“Huh!? Are they seriously going to expel me if I don’t put my mind to it?!”

“Fufu, then you have no choice but to be serious, …… master♪”

The best academy in the kingdom is a merits-based school that refuses to accept the weak.

What will happen if that “Black Knight” gets serious?

And even though the hero attends the school, he is still kind, but will he be able to leave the troubled people he encounters one after another, such as princesses, saints, and siblings he hasn’t seen in a long time?

“I don’t think you can. …… Well, that’s the reason why I fell in love with you♪”

What is this…it’s good to get reincarnated after I died due to overwork as a corporate s*ave, but I never imagined that I would end up becoming Nord, the villainous son from the erot*c game ‘Harem Musou, Academy of the Upstart Hero’.... more>>

Confronting Nord, Elise unleashes all her pent-up resentment and mercilessly stabbed him. Yes, even though Elise is trained to obey and submit to Nord, she always held feelings for Kain.

Elise is finally reunited with Kain, and the story ends happily…

No way! Since I’ve been reincarnated, all I want is a peaceful and slow life!

In order to avoid death flags, I decided to keep my distance from Elise and swore to support her relationship with the hero, Kain. However, despite my efforts, Elise directed her affection towards me at every opportunity, coming to my room every night.

Mia Luna Tearmoon, Princess of the Tearmoon Empire, muttered to herself as she stood shackled on the execution platform.

The faces of the spectators surrounding her were, without exception, filled with indignation.

Before long, Mia was executed at the hands of the revolutionists, who were fed up with the heavy taxation.

But the next moment, she unexpectedly found herself lying on her bed.

It was eight years ago, when she was just a mere kid.

For a while, Mia even wondered if she was hallucinating. However, what appeared on her bedside table was a bloodstained diary that she had written herself.

That day, Mia's screams could be heard echoing throughout the palace.

Mia was not a vicious person by nature. She was simply incapable of understanding the pain and hunger of others, and by the time she discovered it, it was already too late to do anything.

After she regressed back to her childhood, Mia struggled hard to trace back the events of the past with the help of her blood-stained diary and memories.

Was it to save the future of a declining empire?

Was it to save the soldiers who died in the civil war?

Was it to save the people from famine?

In the era of popular esports, a globally popular game called "Destiny" was born.... more>>

This is a close-quarters holographic reality game with a focus on cold weapons such as swords, spears, guns, bows, and other melee weapons.

The charm of close combat, the interplay of flashing blades and shadows, the brutal battle where only one survives out of a hundred, captivate players and make the major world esports tournaments thrive.

Chen Xingran, a weapon master from an ancient martial arts family, wakes up from slumber and finds himself in a strange world, becoming an ordinary student at the Capital Esports Academy, endlessly worrying about how to reach Silver rank.

As he looks at the familiar Tang Sword, broadsword, silver spear, dagger, long whip, and more in the game... Chen Xingran falls into contemplation.

"I'm familiar with this."

Thus, in "Destiny," a formidable specialist in weapons emerges.

His swordsmanship is sharp and elusive, his heavy sword has no edge, his gun moves like a dragon, and his dagger is as agile as a serpent... No matter how challenging the weapon is, it becomes a magnificent and dangerous performance in his hands.

"A Tang Sword is not used like this."

"Protecting teammates? Not necessary."

"Isn't it enough to eliminate all the enemies?"

...

In the world of "Destiny," a legend begins to spread about a fearsome demon king.

It is said that every professional player who faces him in combat meets a tragic end...

However, the good news is that this demon king seems incapable of using ranged weapons?

His archery skills are astonishing. Even with a rapid-firing crossbow, he can't hit a single shot, earning him the title of the "Master of Human Outline Drawing."

Yang Yunchen, the former champion of the FPS World Championship and hailed as the number one marksman, says this while watching the young man who effortlessly takes on three opponents with a Tang Sword.

"Why need ranged weapons when I'm here?"

The blushing young man, finished with the fight and sharpening his sword, chases after him and slashes three blocks.

PS:

1. This is a fictional holographic close-quarters battle royale game with many imaginative elements. You don't need to have played the game to enjoy the story.

2. Game skills and settings are inspired by games like "Eternal Punishment," "Apex Legends," "Overwatch," and others.

3. The weapon master is invincible in close combat but terrible at using guns, while the archer never misses a shot. They pretend to be weak and rely on their spouse, the cunning world champion, to save them.

4. This story doesn't follow the typical trope of the protagonist being overwhelmingly strong. There may be initial setbacks, but later on, the characters reach their full potential and dominate the game, creating various highlights. Please avoid making assumptions about the author and enjoy the story and comments harmoniously. Thank you.

This phrase is often used to emphasize the importance of preparation and practice in esports. It means that even though it is essential to hone your skills and improve your strategies, it should not hinder you from taking immediate action and engaging in competitive gaming.
