Reborn As The Useless God

SamuelWilson
Xylos Zephyrin, a once-revered god of forgotten tides from a dying pantheon, faces oblivion as his world crumbles. In a desperate twist of fate, his immense power is fractured and his consciousness thrust into the insignificant body of Pipkin Featherbottom, the most ridiculed man in the magic-rich realm of Aethel. This new world operates under a nascent "System," a mysterious force that grants abilities and dictates fate. Stripped of his godly form and forced to conceal his true, albeit fragmented, power, Xylos as Pipkin must navigate a world that scorns him. He grapples with the bitter irony of his useless facade, a stark contrast to his former glory. Yet, his divine knowledge and latent abilities begin to stir, interacting unpredictably with the "System," offering glimpses of his past might and unique pathways to new strength. As Pipkin endures treacherous adventures and uncovers the intricate political webs of Aethel, he secretly manipulates events from the shadows. Driven by a chilling foresight of a looming catastrophe that only he recognizes, his methods often stray into morally gray territory, positioning him as an unlikely anti-hero. Amidst the ridicule and danger, he finds an unexpected connection with Lumi Nymphaea, a sharp-witted herbalist who sees beyond Pipkin's weak exterior. Their bond deepens, challenging Xylos's carefully constructed facade and forcing him to confront the possibility of genuine connection in his new existence. Torn between the strategic advantage of remaining underestimated and the desire to unleash his true power, Xylos must walk a precarious path. He will face remnants of his old pantheon, powerful adversaries who sense his hidden strength, and the ultimate test of preventing the impending destruction of Aethel all while wrestling with his lost identity and the unexpected affections of a woman who might just see the god beneath the guise of the useless man.

Vortex Origins

"Born with power. Cursed by its cost." Ash Burns was made for greatness—and doomed by it. His hybrid vein held the promise of limitless strength, yet it shackled him in the first stage of evolution, a prisoner of his own potential. Then the asteroid exploded. It shattered his fate. Now, Ash wields the Titan Vein, a power that bends the laws of his fractured world—a planet split between humanity and horrors, divided by an impenetrable fog. But his newfound strength carries a soul-rending cost: he is no longer alone in his mind. An ancient entity, one step from godhood, stirs within him. And it’s starving. With his brothers and allies, Ash plunges into the unknown—across the planet’s cursed half, through time-warped ruins, and into the cosmic void where the gods vanished. Each revelation twists him further from human. Each power-up pulls him closer to oblivion. The more he ascends… the less of him remains. ———— WSA 2025 entry.
