Shield Hero: The Fifth Variable

Wish_Acc_three
Jiro was just a QA tester fixing bugs until he woke up as a glitch in Melromarc’s summoning circle. In a world designed for four heroes, he is the unintended fifth, armed with a System Fracture that leeches off the Cardinal Weapon grid. While the King sneers, Jiro utilizes his Spirit Cooking Cauldron to refine raw monster remains into high-tier elixirs and builds a Knowledge Share Network with those the world discarded. Transmigrated into a "script" he knows by heart, he must balance his rising Immunity Scaling against the Church’s growing suspicion, turning every tactical error of the legendary heroes into his own evolutionary gain.

Clumsy Eight-Tailed Fox with Her Fourth Husband

Marriage means different things to different people. For Thalia Kim, it means survival. Five years ago, she died on her wedding night. Not in a dramatic, metaphorical way, but quite literally, with a broken bottle driven straight into her heart. She had only been doing what she always did. Men could never fully handle her, and they rarely stayed conscious after. So when her third husband went still, she assumed he had fainted, just like the others. He hadn’t. He opened his eyes, saw something he shouldn’t have, and panicked. Before her power could take effect, everything went wrong. That was how she lost her first tail. Now she only has eight left, and worse, her core is already starting to break. If it collapses completely, even a year would be considered lucky. So yes, she needs to get married again—not for love, not for happiness, but simply to stay alive long enough to become human. The plan is simple: find someone, get married, survive. It would have worked. If she hadn’t proposed to William Carter. A man her sister is clearly afraid of. A man who does not look like someone she can control. And more importantly, a man who should have refused without a second thought. But he didn’t. He said yes! Just like that, without hesitation, without question, as if the decision had already been made long before she even asked. Now, things are already starting to go wrong. Her ability doesn’t work on him. She doesn’t know what he wants. And he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who makes careless decisions. Which leaves her with one very inconvenient problem... This marriage might keep her alive. Or it might end exactly the way her last one did.
