Lookism - "The Second Life of Zack Lee"

After dying beneath a cargo truck, Zack Lee opens his eyes in his old bedroom—years before Ansan, before the shame, before his friendships fractured. Returned to the first week of J-High, he finds himself in a weaker, untrained body but carrying every memory of the brutal future he lived through: Ma Taesoo’s overwhelming power, James Lee’s godlike speed, Johan’s tragedies, and the humiliation that once defined him. This second chance places Zack at a crossroads. Mira still texts him warmly. Vasco hasn’t met him yet. Daniel is still an insecure transfer student, about to suffer the same bullying incident that destroyed Zack’s reputation the first time. Determined not to repeat his mistakes, Zack resolves to fix everything—his relationships, his legacy, his future. But one failed punch reminds him that knowledge alone means nothing. His young body cannot contain the skill of the fighter he became. To change destiny, Zack must train from the ground up, navigate moral choices he once ignored, and prepare for enemies he knows will rise: God Dog, Hostel, the Workers, and the monsters hiding in the shadows of the world. This is the story of a fallen fighter who returns to the start—armed with memory, crushed by guilt, and desperate to forge a better path before his past becomes his future again.

Wars Of The Forgotten Cosmos

Humanity once ruled the world through arrogance and greed. Their brilliance reached the stars, yet their pride invited ruin. No one remembers how it began, only that one day, the skies cracked open and monsters beyond imagination poured through, tearing apart everything mankind had built. Civilization collapsed. The world burned. And from the ashes rose a new era of warriors, awakeners, and cultivators. The first generation fought back, wielding powers that defied logic and rebuilding what was left into towering sanctuaries, bastions of hope amid the wasteland. But peace never lasts. Ambition still festers, and those who crave control now move in shadows once more. Amid this fractured world lives Kalen, a boy of no name and no family, raised in an orphanage within one of the Sanctuaries. He dreams like any other to pass the trials, become strong, and carve a place for himself in this unforgiving age. Yet fate has marked him for something greater. Buried deep within his existence lies a secret older than the Sanctuaries themselves something ancient, waiting to awaken. As the veil between past and present begins to crumble, Kalen will be forced to walk a path lined with sacrifice and truth. What starts as a boy’s struggle for survival may become the spark that decides humanity’s next age. Can he endure the burden of power he never asked for? Can he rise above fate to face the coming calamity? This is the tale of an ordinary boy destined to rise beyond what the world calls human a story of ruin, rebirth, and the forgotten legacy that could either save the world… or end it.

Sundered Souls

From the age of four, Haruto has borne the weight of a life destined for sacrifice. During the Third Great Shinobi War, he lost both of his parents, and his infant younger brother perished alongside them, leaving young Haruto to face a world of shinobi clans, hidden powers, and political intrigue alone. At eight, he also lost his twin sister, and soon after, he and his twin brother were separated, forcing him to navigate a life filled with enemies, uncertainty, and betrayal. By twelve, Haruto is no ordinary boy. Haunted by past losses and thrust into deadly conflicts, he must survive relentless hunters, uncover the treachery of trusted leaders, and confront enemies that strike from both shadow and light. Alongside friends—and secret allies whose loyalty is tested to the extreme—he fights to restore peace while struggling with the heavy burden of responsibility no child should bear. Even as victories are won, dark forces stir. Hidden rebellions, ruthless political schemers, and mysterious powers from beyond the known world threaten everything he holds dear. With each mission, Haruto learns that true strength isn’t just skill—it’s the courage to protect those you love, even when the world seems determined to tear them away. As Haruto grows, so do the scale of his battles. Friends lost, secrets unraveling, and enemies waiting in every corner, he must prepare for a war that could change the very balance of his world—and discover the truth behind his own mysterious powers before it’s too late.
