I became a Mirror but I am too overpowered.

Lee Eunwoo was a completely ordinary Korean office worker. Actually… no. He was even below ordinary. He had no talent, no money, no girlfriend, and his boss treated him like a disposable NPC. His only hobby was reading trashy webnovels where the protagonist becomes the strongest being in the universe. One day, after staying up all night reading a 3,000-chapter cultivation novel, Eunwoo muttered: “If I got reincarnated, I’d definitely do better than this idiot protagonist.” Then he died. Just like that. Truck-kun didn’t even bother slowing down. ⸻ The System Appears When Lee Eunwoo opened his eyes again, he didn’t see heaven. He didn’t see a fantasy world either. He saw himself. But something was wrong. He couldn’t move. He couldn’t blink. He couldn’t breathe. And then a mechanical voice echoed. [Welcome to the Universal Reflection System.] [Host has been reincarnated as: Mirror.] Eunwoo: “…Wait.” At first Eunwoo believed his second life was cursed. He was just a mirror in a dusty antique shop in a small fantasy town. But then a thief broke into the shop. The thief looked into the mirror. And suddenly— BOOM. The thief collapsed unconscious. [Skill acquired: Reflection.] Anything shown in the mirror… Can be copied, reflected, amplified, or reversed. Magic spells? Reflected. Sword skills? Copied. Curses? Returned to sender. Even divine abilities could be mirrored. The stronger the opponent, the stronger Eunwoo becomes. ⸻ Eunwoo’s Biggest Problem The system kept giving absurd powers. But Eunwoo misunderstood everything. Every time he gained a new ability he thought: “This is probably the weakest starter skill…” Meanwhile the world thought something completely different.

Tokyo's Romeo

Reborn in modern Tokyo, Kuroha Akira comes back with exactly zero cheat abilities, zero morals, and zero motivation. His life goal is simple and noble: lie flat forever. Unfortunately, lying flat costs money—and working? Absolutely not. Since no elegant, rich onee-san is lining up to keep him, Akira pivots to a more long-term investment strategy: Find future rich girls. Raise them. Optimize favorability. Cash out dividends later. Think of it as angel investing—except the startups are people, the currency is affection, and the exit strategy is becoming a full-time kept man. This is Akira’s personal life hack: “Favorability is just an emotional stock market.” As long as he can manipulate emotional trends, hedge risks across multiple “portfolios,” and prevent any single relationship from crashing the whole system… A life of being financially supported until death is statistically achievable. Our slogan: “Lie flat. Rot slowly. Let someone else pay the bills.” *** But reality, as always, drops an unexpected patch update. Breaking News: The long-missing legendary entrepreneur and investor Kuroha Akira has been rescued after years of captivity. The prime suspects? Several women he maintained “complicated emotional positions” with during his high school era. Footage from the rescue scene captures Akira muttering in disbelief: “Why… I drained so much money… …and her favorability went up instead of crashing?!” *** His life ultimately proves two immutable truths: Emotional markets are more volatile than crypto. Being a kept man always comes with hidden costs. *** Disclaimer: Yes, this is a harem story. No, these heroines are not mentally normal. Proceed at your own emotional risk. https://patreon.com/BlackZetsu?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
