This Detective Can't Catch A Break From His Strange Cases

TheTiredDetective
[Officially joining WSA 2025] Ryo Kuroda, a 25-year-old former police officer dismissed for his lack of physical strength, hoped to start fresh as a private detective. One night, he saved a very unnatural-looking cat from being chased by some eerie creatures. In return, the cat 'blessed' him with a wish, 'for more clients.' What sounded like a stroke of luck quickly became a never-ending nightmare, as his office was soon flooded with the strangest, most unbelievable cases imaginable. But with each strange case comes a lingering unease — patterns that shouldn’t exist, clues that feel too intentional. Ryo begins to suspect that something, or someone, is pulling the strings behind the scenes. With nothing but his sharp mind, stubbornness, and an ever-growing headache, Ryo is forced to navigate a world where the supernatural is very real and very troublesome. Either way, ever since that cat granted his wish, he’s barely had a single peaceful day—dragged into Hidden Lands on Earth and Strange Worlds beyond. -------------- Note: While the story does include some action, it is primarily driven by mystery and fantasy. The focus is on unraveling secrets, exploring fantastical elements, building suspense, and of course... solving cases—rather than frequent intense battles or action scenes. If you're looking for non-stop action, this might not be the story for you. However, if you enjoy a thrilling, mystery-driven fantasy, then this could be just what you're looking for. --------------- This is a journey we’re taking together! Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments, and if you’re enjoying the story, power stones would be greatly appreciated—they help the story grow and keep me motivated! Additional tags: Unintentionally Charismatic Protagonist - Passive Harem (He didn’t wish for Waifus, but apparently, the cat threw those in for free. Mystery still takes the lead… most of the time) (AI-generated cover)

The Villain I Barely Knew

I just wanted to go home, heat up some instant noodles, and binge that novel my friend kept nagging me about. Next thing I know? I'm stuck in that same story. Inside the body of a side-villain so irrelevant, he dies before the main plot even begins. Sylas Vermund. Arrogant. Lazy. Hated by everyone. He was destined to get expelled, humiliated, maybe even killed. And now I’m him. The worst part? I barely remember the damn plot. With no cheats, no golden fingers, and no idea who’s friend or foe, I’ve got one goal: Stay alive. If playing dumb, kissing ass, or running like hell gets me to the end credits—so be it. I’m not a hero. I’m not a genius. I’m just a guy who refuses to die for someone else’s story.

High School DxD: The Beast of Chaos

The normal thing in these fanfics would be to kill the MC or magically send him to a few days, months or a few years before canon with a system, right? Well, here it's screwed, in this one the MC, we kidnap him and send him to the Great War or the war of the three factions, that's right, this time the MC will be 3,000 years before canon and will not have a system (it fucks me up that mess), nor desires (no shit about having Goku's powers or infinite energy, or any other shit), he will have a power, it's obvious, but it will be a matter for them to find out. Notice that this is my first fanfic, also I don't know English, so I would appreciate it if you could help me, if I forget something or something that doesn't make sense, I would appreciate your comments

LAST ADVENTURE

A forest drenched in fog. Three strangers wake beneath unfamiliar stars. Leo, Matthew, and El never meant to cross over. One moment they were neighbors, the next—lost in a realm where the sun burns red, beasts lurk in shadow, and the land remembers things better left forgotten. They don’t know how to get back. They only know how they got here. To return home and find answers, they must journey across a broken world—through cursed woods, ruined cities, and war-torn kingdoms—toward the far continent where whispers speak of primal magic and the fallen ones. But the path is never clear, and the land itself seems to twist beneath their feet. As they venture deeper, Leo's dreams are beginning to bleed into reality. At first, it’s fragments. Places they haven’t seen. Names he shouldn’t know. But the further they go, the more real it becomes. His dreams bleed into waking life—echoes of battles, betrayals, and bonds that feel achingly familiar. And somewhere ahead, something waits for them. Something that remembers. Because this world doesn’t forget. And neither does fate.
