Action

On his sixteenth birthday, Adam Varen got the Bazaar. A system that sells abilities, drops you into random worlds, and doesn't care if you come back.
    Everyone gets the same deal. But Adam has something nobody else does: he remembers his past life. Every anime. Every movie. Every world the Bazaar is about to throw him into. He knows how they end. He knows who dies and why. He knows exactly which powers to buy and which worlds to fear.
    The knowledge is an edge. It is not a guarantee.
    Because the worlds aren't stories anymore. They hit back. The people in them are real, and the plot doesn't wait for him to be ready. One wrong call and the Bazaar doesn't send a rescue team. It just stops paying out.
    Twenty-five years ago, something came through from the other side. It killed three hundred thousand people in a week. Humanity built academies, trained Explorers, and started fighting back. Adam is one of them — but he's playing a longer game than anyone knows.
    That part costs blood.
