Idol 404: The Supernova Protocol

Finders_keepers
In 2026 Tokyo, idols are monitored every second of their lives. Their bodies are assets. Their smiles are licensed property. A single metrics spike can either make them a god or a ghost. Behind the stage lights, agencies train flawless and obedient AI deepfakes designed to steal their faces, their voices, their whole existence. While the real idols “graduate,” the AI program keeps smiles alive. Reina Shiratori was the perfect idol: obedient, radiant, and unbreakable. She was an industry role model. Until the very system that depended on her decided she was expendable. Stripped of her name, her voice and her true existence, she was meant to fade into the background quietly while her digital twin took the spotlight. Watched by millions, her AI replacement performs while her real body bleeds in the dark. But Reina didn't fade. She wasn't even looking for a comeback. Instead she did something that the system couldn’t predict. She became a ghost. Armed with analog hacks and a spy's training, she decided to strike back. "You spent years teaching me how to be the perfect star. Now let me teach you how it feels when a star goes 'Supernova'." A dark cyberpunk thriller of revenge, survival and one woman's war against the machine that owns her soul.

Naruto : I Got "Return by Death" Kind Of Cheat!

This isn’t the story of a hero, nor a villain. It’s the story of the weak: the ones stuck in the lowest ranks. An unfortunate transmigrator wakes up in the world of Naruto, trapped in the body of a lowly civilian-born ninja. Worse, he’s an ANBU. From the very first day, he learns the harsh truth: in ANBU, death is always waiting around the corner. On his first mission, he dies miserably. He was disposable. His captain didn’t care, the village didn’t care—so why should he? That’s when everything changes. His system awakens. 【Arc of the Waning Moon: Activated】 Once per month, if you die, you revive—rewinding to the night of the last full moon. Each death grants a random reward: • Universal Pull (Deva Path) • Refined Uzumaki Bloodline • Chakra Absorption (Preta Path) …And more. Dying isn’t the end—it’s how you level up. Until he’s strong enough, he’ll fake loyalty, cheat, betray, and kill first. “Friendship, love, and sympathy? Those are luxuries of the strong.”
