Have you ever known someone  with a possessed soul, let alone your close friend? Last month I discovered a truly disturbing fact about my friend Sara , something I believed that was only seen and encountered with in movies and on screens.

My friend group and I were hanging out at Sara’s house , laughing our hearts out , enjoying this girls sleepover. Sara said that she was heading to the kitchen , I went along since I was craving a snack as well . I poured my snack of choice into a bowl , and turned around to ask her a question . At first , I stayed right at my spot without moving a muscle because of the scene that was in front of me , she was standing very still and weird , she was standing like a statue in front of the open fridge , with her head tilted to the side .  I called her name multiple times , until she finally replied , I questioned her about what happened , but she denied the fact that it occurred. I brushed it off and we continued our night .When Sara excused to the bathroom , I told the girls about the situation that went on in the kitchen . Some were shocked while others blamed me and said that I was hallucinating. Out of nowhere, we heard a loud scratch from the bathroom . We looked at each other and stayed completely still. She came out but seemed perfectly normal . After that night , we all returned back to our homes . But some of my friends claimed that they saw her eyes glowing a little . And they didn’t mean glowing as in shiny and sparkly , but as if a flash light was in her eyes . We started noticing a ton of other horrifying actions that shes doing or weird appearances showing up on her face. These signs kept increasing and increasing as time went on . One day she came to school , hair messy , pointed smile , glowing eyes , and bloody / torn up white clothes . At first we ran away , but she started following us creepily, at lunch time she disappeared without a track , but was shockingly on time for all classes. Her handwriting had become cursive and unclear , although her normal handwriting is neat and very clear. At the end of the day , as she kept following us and following us , we decided to put this horrific thing to the end . She didnt reply to us , so at last we started shaking her harshly , hoping she would wake up from whatever she is in . Eventually , she started slowly lifting her head up , her hair was no longer messy , her smile wasn’t pointed anymore, and her eyes were back to the brown color they were.  But when  we confronted her she kept refusing the fact this all of this has happened . After that everything was back to normal , until one time she slowly lifted up away from the ground , and started chasing us  while chanting some random words . When suddenly, I see her coming towards me , and then I fainted . The last thing I remember is Sara holding a charcoal on her hand while it was on fire , with smoke coming my way . What happened next is even more disturbing.

part two soon

★Chinese Version :《飄流太空日誌》

I’m Sakura Minazuki, a mageka from a distant realm, often called by the names of “Princesa de Claridade”, “Luminosa”, and so forth, which all entail the invincibility of my powers.

But for now, I’m just an average office worker.

That’s right, a “wage slave” or so you may call it - nothing close to a mageka.

Sakura Minazuki, one who bore the glorious names such as the most powerful “Princesa de Claridade” and “Luminosa” in a distant realm named Glace, made her way to Hong Kong under certain work circumstances. Realising there was not a single job suitable for a mageka, upon the recommendation of her flatmate Kou Igarashi, she changed her path to earning a living as an office clerk.

Stuck in a long-standing dilemma between reality and ideality over time, she decided to pick up on her past identity with the advice from Kou and kick off her double life - “clerk by day, mageka by night”.

One day, the duo received an incoming request to “banish all ‘vampires’ from the city”. What was the true identity of these rumoured creatures of mystery who had been roaming around the city of prosperity attacking humans? And what was the intent behind it?

“In the name of ‘Princesa de Claridade’, I, Mageka Luminosa, now call upon the obedience of this dark creature under my dazzling radiance!”

One night, one chance, one choice! Everything seems normal until monsters emerge everywhere and plunge into into chaos. Some call it the apocalypse, others the end of days. However, for Dean, it's something else entirely. It's a chance to change his fate. He has nothing left to lose, but everything to win. This night will push him to his limits. Survival is just the beginning. The real question is-will he rise or fall? Get ready for an action-packed adventure filled with suspense and horror! And well, it wouldn't be a good story if there weren't some romance, right?

This is Miura, a land where one in every 16 individuals are born sensitive to magic. Mages are the cream of the crop in a world dominated by arcane bloodlines. Beyond the mage is the Maister, and the greatest of the greats are the archmages. To nurture the sheer potential of arcane wielders, many legendary mages of old established grand academies across different kingdoms. And in the vast imperium, 13 schools within 13 kingdoms command great esteem and influence by boasting the strongest students of magecraft. One such school is Cinderfall, a premier institute in the heart of Imperial Baumwolland. Amidst its alumni is the fledgling teen Pollux, a young freshman with a good head on her shoulders and little else. But what else does she need? Mired by a wound from childhood and seemingly inescapable mediocrity, how can she hope to navigate a school of deadly, magical adolescence in a world full of monsters and mad sorcery? Maybe, she won’t.

Does "superpower" sound cool? — Until you discover that your ability is so useless, it’s laughable!

Lin Xiaoqiang, a broke community college loser who can barely afford to drink instant noodle soup for three days, suddenly awakens the superpower of "hearing animals’ thoughts."

— Only to find out that within a 10-meter radius, every animal is a vicious, sarcastic master of insults! The neighbor’s fat orange cat mocks him every day for being single, the pigeons on the street gossip about humans’ hairlines, and the stray dogs are secretly plotting a "world domination" scheme…

To survive (and prevent the dogs’ plans), he is forced to assemble a team of "useless superhumans":

This group of "Super Useless League" has daily tasks such as:

✔️ Helping the breakfast shop owner control "telekinetic egg frying" (but the eggs always stick to the customers’ faces).

✔️ Stopping A Zhai from using his 3-second time freeze to sneak a peek at the goddess’s phone (only to find that the goddess is also using superpowers to edit photos).

✔️ Fighting the "Superpower Correction Center" — led by an obsessive-compulsive uncle whose power is "forcing everyone to wear turtlenecks instantly!"

When they discover that animals are planning to destroy humanity with their "lazy genes," this rescue mission turns into:

Lying dead on an IKEA display bed, forcing the whole city to do square dancing with a pink virus, and live-streaming the absurd business of selling "turning exes into hamsters."

This is a hilarious comedy about "how loser superhumans turn their daily lives into disasters, but accidentally save the world!"

If you've ever fantasized about having superpowers, after reading this book… you’ll be grateful to be an ordinary person!
