"A sound mind dwells in a body of steel!" After dying a shameful death in his past life—weak, sickly, and utterly unmanly—one man is reborn into a noble family… as a girl?! Refusing to accept this cruel twist of fate, Irine von Velmund dedicates herself to the Path of Muscle, training relentlessly to forge the ultimate masculine physique! But no matter how many push-ups she crushes or how much iron she pumps, one problem remains: her body is biologically female. When a fledgling hero arrives with news of the Demon King’s revival, Irine sees her chance—a grand adventure awaits! Clad in adventurer’s gear (and layers of deception), she sets off to become the manliest warrior the world has ever seen. As the title suggests – expect classic harem chaos, though the real romantic battlefield dynamics won't kick in until midway. Best enjoyed without overthinking it!

Years later, when he would finally hold the “Lifetime Achievement Award” in his hands, Makoto Yasui would recall one very specific afternoon—the afternoon he was sent flying ten whole meters… By a horse girl. At the time, he had only recently gotten his Central Trainer’s license. Unfortunately, his lack of experience was obvious, and many horse girls turned him down without a second thought. And so, after being rejected yet again, maybe his mind wandered a bit too much. While waiting to cross at a red light, he spotted a child nearly step into oncoming traffic. His body moved before his brain could catch up. The kid was fine. He was not. Because he got hit. Not by a car, but by a horse girl. She had black hair, red eyes, and a matching black tail. And she slammed into him at full sprint. Thanks to years of quiet self-training—secretly guided by memories from a past life—he managed to twist midair and land without too much damage. Still, getting launched like that wasn’t exactly part of his daily routine. The horse girl, on the other hand, was completely panicking. “I-I’m so sorry! Are you hurt?! A-are you okay?!” “I-I'm Kitasan Black! A first-year at Tracen Academy! Pleased to meet you—wait, no, that’s not what I should say right now!” “I—I mean—I’ll take responsibility! I’ll take full responsibility for this!!” That’s how it all began. The girl’s name was Kitasan Black. And this was the start of everything. = = = = Note: Some character backgrounds and settings have been reworked for narrative purposes. This version expands the world while staying faithful to the spirit of the original. New readers can enjoy it as a mix of sports drama and school life.

Steven is a total newbie who just got isekai’d into the world of Terra. But before all this, he spent years surviving in the blocky world of Minecraft, living the slow and cautious life of a seasoned Minecrafter. Thanks to that history, he almost got forcefully ejected by Terra’s world will the moment he arrived— “Don’t just toss me back to the world where even the sun is a square!” In order to survive in this world—where at least the girls have pointy faces instead of square ones—Steven has no choice but to dive into one chaotic event after another, all to raise something called his "World Acknowledgement Point" and earn his stay. This includes, but is not limited to: Fighting infected; Fighting the Church of the Deep; Fighting eldritch horrors from the sea; And, of course… Fending off suspiciously grateful girls with very ungrateful intentions. . . . . . . . . . Gladiia: “Steven, why do you always get yourself involved in those troublesome land-dweller affairs? I find it… intriguing.” Steven: “Hey, it's about the experience, you know?” Gladiia: “Then why are you always the one who ends up solving everything?” Steven: “Well, I’m already here, right? May as well go all in…”

When I opened my eyes, I realized I had been reincarnated into a cultivation game. But not as some heaven-defying protagonist, nor even a notable side character. No, I became a nameless NPC with trash-tier spirit roots—doomed to die at the age of fifteen at the hands of a minor villain. My name is Ye Anping. And yes, I was despairing. Fortunately, it wasn’t all hopeless. At least... I was only four years old. Even better, I had a junior sister—an ordinary NPC according to the game lore—who was actually blessed with peerless talent. A natural genius who could make the heavens weep. Ten years passed in the blink of an eye. My junior sister grew up. She became strong. Beautiful. Radiant, like the moon hanging high above the mortal world. And then, the protagonist noticed her. And then… my junior sister push me down to the bed!? Ye Anping: “Junior Sister, I’m your senior brother, I—!” (Spoiler: it didn’t matter.)
