It Doesn't Matter, 'Cause Nothing Matters

NotASnaccImAMel
Back home, War-torn!Tom (Mid-20th century Brighton), only fourteen, would've had his family to build him back up if it weren't for the zombie apocalypse and the jarring teleportation to another universe. He was a teenager, and he came as an imperfect package to the Watsons, with a crackwhore birth mom and genetic, hormonal depression because of her. They didn't even learn of his condition before he was forcibly separated from them, his mom, dad, and two brothers, in a crowd of panicked people. He makes friends, plenty of them, and survives as best as he can, just holding out until he finds every member of his family, safe and sound, hopefully. All he has is hope, which is thin in a war-torn world. Until he's transported another dimension. Back home, Vampiric-sight!Thomas (18th century Great Britain), sixteen, would try to escape his possessive family at any cost, but they wouldn't even give him the mercy of killing him. He was handicapped from birth, blind and regarded as weak, until he met a strangely kind and warm Wilbur. He only learns that him and his kin are cold-blooded ones when he's forcibly turned and hoarded in their coven. The Micrafes are a powerful family, and he has no chance of escaping, even with his new gift of sight. Sight of truth. He knows that his new family are not lying when they say they love him, but not in a way anyone would prefer. They use violence and manipulation as means of getting people to stay, and even Tommy sees that Wilbur and Technoblade used to be like him, that Phil used to be like all of them. He's too scared and focused on his survival to sympathise, though. Who he becomes because of them is broken, and not bright, and who he once was starts to fade. Until he's transported somewhere he doesn't know. In the here and now, Aishite!Tommy (22nd century Manburg), seventeen and counting, would give anything to see his family look at him. Truly look at him and see who he is, and love him for it. He lives a modern life in a futuristic world, with advanced technology, space exploration, and even superpowers granted by government issued scientists, to create better (or perhaps more efficient) law enforcement. Unfortunately for them, criminals get ahold of these experiments and serums and turn themselves into supervillains. Soon everyone with money or means to steal can become powerful, and passed through genes, generations become more enhanced and powerful. His family, with no recorded last names in order to remain hidden, are government issued heroes, and he's cannon fodder, adopted in order to appear kind and gracious in public eye. But Tommy has only ever felt love from the Crafts when they first met, and wants it back, deep down. He puts on the suit of a vigilante and tries to live up to becoming a hero, disguising himself as a hero in training and gaining their favour. They have no idea who he is, and don't keep tabs on their black sheep in order to figure it out. But as stakes rise and Tommy begins to realise they'll never see who he is under the mask without hating him forever, he loses hope of having a family.  Until two kids his age who look a lot like him appear out of nowhere in his secret base (which is really just a small backyard shed one of his vigilante friends procured for him). Both as scared as him, both with similar names and derivatives, and similar family, yet so different. As Aishite-Tommy struggles to keep them secret and get them back home, they eventually have to work together and better understand each other in order to juggle everything that's going on, on top of the government's dictator, or President Schlatt, planning to tip the economy in favour of the rich, mostly himself, and destroy anyone that gets in his way.

BTTH: Auto Cultivation System

Xiao Hua awoke to the sound of an unfamiliar voice—only to be shocked by the realization that he had reincarnated into the world of the popular Chinese novel Battle Through the Heavens. While others might find excitement in such a twist of fate, Xiao Hua knew all too well how chaotic and dangerous the Dou Qi Continent truly was. To make matters worse, he had been reborn as a member of the Xiao Clan—a clan that unknowingly holds a treasure jade coveted by one of the Eight Ancient Clans. But the chaos isn’t limited to just this world. The Dou Qi Continent is merely one of many lower planes. In another plane—the world of Wu Dong Qian Kun (WDQK)—the Yimo Clan, a branch of the ancient and malevolent Fiend Clan, is launching an all-out assault. All of these events are connected to the upper realm—the Great Thousand World from The Great Ruler series. After centuries of silence, the Fiend Clan, an otherworldly race from beyond the Great Thousand World, has once again begun to stir. Caught in the middle of all this turmoil, Xiao Hua couldn’t help but panic over his dire circumstances.

The Scientist of Syntara

It was a lie. And he knew Leith must have realized it. But the man did not respond to the lie, did not judge, did not ask any further questions. He just remained silent... and slowly bit his own index finger until a drop of blood appeared. Then, with a movement that was almost inaudible, he reached out his hand toward Liyn. "Drink... Liyn.” Liyn's heart felt like it was being pulled out of her chest. Her breath caught. She stared at Leith's finger in confusion, fear, and… trembling. But something inside her stirred. Slowly, she grasped Leith's hand, her hands so small in that gentle embrace, then hesitantly touched that finger to her lips. She sucked on the tip of the finger, tasting the salty, warm blood. As warm as someone who cares. Yurei Yurelin dreamed of becoming a scientist and exploring the skies above, not the magical battlefield. She hid her Veyra level as a child, managed to get into a technology school, and was almost achieving her dream… until everything fell apart. Betrayed by the retest results, Yurei was forced to enter Syntara Academy, an elite academy for Veyra users. There, everyone had extraordinary talent—except her. But one thing worse than being the ordinary girl among geniuses… is the fact that her new teacher is a legendary former warrior, a man whose face can make anyone submit—including Yurei's heart. As old secrets begin to surface and the hidden power within her slowly awakens, Yurei realizes: she was never meant to be a Scientist… but something greater.

I Left Being a Hero to Farm

Philantria. The world where the strongest rule over it. Non-stop battles everywhere.  Kingdoms taking over kingdoms. Bloodbath after bloodbath. War has defined this world. And the only man renowned as the Hero of Philantria, Crescentine Fleur, has been in these wars since he was 12. Now at 20. Eight years of fighting on the frontlines, where the people called him a Hero, Kings called him a weapon, and the soldiers called him a legend. It was tiring. Crescentine had lost the reason to be the Hero the people needed, if all he was ever required to do was kill. Then one day, he simply vanished. Not because he wanted to... But the rulers' betrayal has opened the doors for his disappearance. His armor and sword were left behind at the last battle between the 4 kingdoms and the empire. His hero insignia was on the ground, abandoned. As they rejoice the death of the so-called hero. Leaving them blind of the truth. Where did the hero go after? Why did he leave? And perhaps because of his absence, the kingdoms and the empire were pushed into a treaty, to stop the very battles that made their hero a weapon. Where did Crescentine Fleur go? ....Farming.  On the furthest edge of the Kingdom of Amlada. A small village the government had long neglected. Somewhere the rulers would never think to search. Crescentine Fleur was gone. And Leigh the farmer? Planting his first crops. While also using his hidden memories of a past life nobody knew... That's something no one would ever believe.
