I was the Lead Architect of Zenith Online— one of the most punishing dark fantasy games ever made. I wrote the history. I designed the disasters. I balanced the monsters. But it was still a game. Players died. Players learned. Players respawned. Then I woke up inside it. Not logged in. Not playing. Living. No respawn screen. No rollback. No safety net. The world still ran on systems. Stats still mattered. Skills still progressed. But death was no longer a mechanic. It was final. I woke up as a starving woodchopper, freezing in a servant’s shed— in a world I helped design, stripped of every mercy I once allowed. Others see fate. I see systems pushed past their intended limits. This world thinks I’m disposable labor. But I know how it was meant to work. And I know exactly what happens when a game stops forgiving mistakes.

The story follows the adventure of the 12th Unit.

Marked by death before his life has truly begun, Levi exists on borrowed time—until midnight comes to collect its debt. When a crimson door appears where reality should not allow one, Levi is torn from his dying world and cast into a realm ruled by an inescapable bargain: survive the trials of the Midnight Spell, or be erased beyond memory. Reborn into an unfamiliar body and stripped of every advantage, he awakens at the foot of Blackwind Mountain—a place where mercy does not exist, and endurance itself is a weapon. Here, survival is not measured by strength alone. The mountain tests will, fear, and the fragile threads that bind strangers together under unimaginable pressure. As Levi climbs through cold, cruelty, and calculated torment, he begins to realize that this world is not merely trying to kill him—it is trying to shape him.

Multiple Protagonists are being Isekaid into a world that is....a secret!

In a world where fantasy and reality are intertwined, a lonesome writer tries to have a happy ending. This is a story about stories.

Elementals, Enhancers, Beast Tamers, Artifact Nurturers – These four pathways define the magical world of Arcanists. But Finn, a former university student from earth, wakes up in a body treading a whole different path…A forbidden path: The path of a Soul Mage. Soul Mages are the ultimate parasites. They lack the ability to use magic themselves, but instead, wield the power to assimilate the mana-saturated souls of the dead. From every Great Arcanist that once lived, to every Calamity Beast, to every Mythic Grade Spirit Artifact… So long as they were dead, they were simply chaotic souls waiting to be claimed. ​But this kind of power does not come without cost. Madness, frenzy, mania, innate wills and primal desires of assimilated souls threaten to drive Soul Mages to total corrosion. In this new world, ​Finn finds himself thrown into the deep end, waking up as a Vessel already housing a full Parade of Chaotic Souls. Now, his body is a battlefield. The souls demand immediate payment, stacking Soul Debts that steal his senses, his consciousness, and his very humanity. ​But yet… it is this same overwhelming corrosion that causes the ultimate truth and uniqueness of his soul to surface…

In a world where everyone has a role, his was to die...so he chose to burn down the script. Kim Yoo Hyun wakes up as Sylas Ravion, a disposable extra in a novel based on a game he once played. His only goal is survival, until he realizes the body he inhabits belongs to a notorious psychopath with a mountain of enemies and a legacy soaked in blood. Armed with incomplete future knowledge and zero shame, Yoo Hyun abandons heroics entirely. Instead, he survives through manipulation, misdirection, and strategic chaos, gaslighting dungeon bosses, framing rival factions, stealing national treasures, and hiding in plain sight as a harmless nobody. But his solo plan collapses when he accidentally gathers a circle of dangerous misfits: the story’s moral protagonist, a feral tsundere, a DJ-style beast tamer, a rewritten antagonist, and his own family of unhinged S-Rank monsters. To protect them from approaching apocalypses, Yoo Hyun embraces his true weapon, strategic confusion. He topples corrupt thrones, brokers deals with gods and demons, builds a shadow empire, and pulls the strings of fate while complaining about paperwork. No longer just surviving, he must confront a terrifying question: Will he uncover the truth behind Sylas Ravion’s legacy, or lose himself among the countless faces he wears? He is not a hero. He is not a villain. He is a survivor!

Long ago, humanity ruled the world openly. Now it survives behind colossal walls and underground vaults on the Continent, where even leaves can kill, where Zones break the laws of nature, and where ancient powers still breathe beneath the soil, twisting the Causality itself. Simon Alighieri is a genius scholar, detective, and historian — a man who believes that every mystery has a structure. Trapped in safety, wealth, and intellectual stagnation, he longs for meaning beyond routine investigations and dead knowledge. Richard is his opposite in every conceivable way — an uncanny cult leader, who seemingly has no origin at all. When Richard finds the Essence, thought to exist only in myths, his body begins to decay while his power grows beyond human limits. The Red Essence consumes his Vitality, pushing him closer to death with every use and he must find a way to delay his demise. Forced into an uneasy alliance, the two men travel across the Continent — through cursed forests, dangerous Zones and ruined civilizations older than recorded history. Each seeks to outwit the other with layered schemes, half-truths, and calculated betrayals. But the world is watching. What begins as an adventure becomes a descent into forgotten epochs and the terrifying question of whether humanity was ever meant to survive its own greatness.

You want Op? You got It!! This is a massive FU to readers who always complain about logic this one? pure illogical Nonsense if you like ... your dumb

You want Op? You f-ing Got it !! This a massive FU to all those readers who like to lodge complaints saying my works are logicless you want logicless you want, Honor? FU this one is full of illogical bs and Op Shit if you like go jump off a bridge

!~~~WSA 2026~~~! "A teachable moment. The fragility of life doesn’t care what you want, only what you can do. SkillSense simply shows you the truth of yourself, of what you are, and what you can become. And the truth, little one, is rarely kind." ——————————————————— This is the story of one man's Ascension to godhood and beyond. Magnus Barlowe: Cult Leader? He'd wish it wasn't so. But when he plays an obscure game and is the first ever person to complete it, he's rewarded, or punished, with the most unexpected skill. In this world, skills are managed and recorded through technology known as SkillSense, and the people of the world place a hierarchy on those with skills. Meaning: The higher your skills, the more people respect you. But the skill Magnus just earned, SSS-Rank Cult Management, is not only two levels above the max S-Rank, but is also a restricted and mostly unknown skill to the world. What has the world got in store for this reluctant man? Will he deny his destiny, or jump into the path of being a cult leader and not look back? Follow Magnus along his journey through the occult in this tale of mysteries! ——————————————————— Author's Notes: As you may know, I'm also the author of Reborn with a Necromancer System, which has been a blast to write, Fractured Horizon, a slightly futuristic fantasy/sci-fi novel about mutated human monsters and psychics that battle them (currently on hiatus to focus on my other novels and my life). I also wrote My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story, and I may get back to it one day. As long as you, my readers, are interested in this novel, I will continue to write it. Magnus's journey is capable of covering thousands of chapters across many years of his life. ——————————————————— Disclaimers/FAQ: 1. This story is set in a modern alternate Earth, where there is a technology that reads your best skills and reveals them to you. This is not a system novel, instead, the "system" is just a mathematical analysis of your skills that everyone has access to. But the MC is guided (not very gently sometimes) by the social media system known as SkillSphere occasionally. He is not a slave to it, but reluctantly follows it's suggestions for one reason or another. 2. There are no plans for a harem, or for multiple lovers over the course of the novel. The MC is a loyal, stick-to-one-person-at-a-time kind of guy. But don't worry, we won't suddenly see Magnus shift his entire personality just because he likes someone. He is who he is, and of course may change over a couple thousand chapters, but not in an instant. 3. This is not a cultivation novel, even if it has cult in its name. 4. Yes, the images and cover art in this novel are currently generated with A.I. This in no way impacts my writing, and if enough money is made from this novel, I plan to commission professional art for the title, characters, and some world building images. ——————————————————— Inspiration: The Steam game Cultist Simulator, was actually something of an inspiration for this novel. I played several dozens of hours, but always felt it needed something. I started working on a 3D alternate version of the video game to make it better, but it suddenly hit me that I could write a novel about a cult leader instead. I've watched and read several pieces of fiction with cults in them (quite difficult to find, honestly), and they usually grab my attention pretty well, and so here I am. ——————————————————— Support me, the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel! And if you're feeling extra benevolent and want to help me turn writing into my full-time job so you can all read more from me, please share my novel or send me gifts with coins. Everything helps, and I can spend more time writing more chapters for you all to binge! If I were to win WSA 2026, you'd have me writing full-time for an entire year. Wish me luck!

Elliot was the perfect example of a nerd who never truly tasted what life had to offer before death claimed him. Because of his brilliant mind, he easily married the most coveted girl from his school—though it was purely because her father wanted to exploit him, and he remained completely oblivious. However, everything came crashing down when he realized how much of a fool he'd been for all the wrong people. But he wasn't entirely hopeless. Elliot was rather indifferent about death. A second chance, however, shattered that indifference entirely. Due to a heated disagreement between a god of trickery and a mysterious old hag, Elliot was reborn into a strange new world as Northern—a completely different realm. This world had forged its own voice, birthed its own calamities, and crowned its own heroes. In a world where people awaken talents, Elliot strangely awakens the ability to copy those very talents. But with that power came crushing responsibility—burdens far too heavy for a young, inexperienced boy like Northern to shoulder. Still, he'd rather walk through the flames of hell than shatter. *** This novel spans over a thousand chapters, so let me give you a heads-up about what to expect. The MC will be insufferable at first. This is a story where the MC has mountains of growing to do, and yes—he'll be grating for the first few hundred chapters. Whether you stay or bail is entirely up to you, but trust me: he will evolve, and watching that transformation will be incredibly rewarding. You know that feeling when your roommate who wore the same crusty hoodie for a week finally learns to do laundry like clockwork? You watch them folding clothes like it's sacred ritual, guarding that laundry basket like a dragon's egg. Or when your favorite author—who never used to reply—suddenly starts responding to every single comment with genuine care. You realize you could've missed witnessing their complete transformation if you'd given up on them. That's exactly what this is. This will be a brutal but captivating ride—just don't abandon him too quickly. Oh, and the grammar starts a bit rough around the edges but smooths out significantly in later chapters. Thank you, and I'll see you on the other side of a thousand chapters.

"Seriously," I muttered. "Fucking hell." This was not how it was supposed to go. I was just about getting used to my miserable little slice of peace. I'd paid for it in cartilage and vertebrae, depression, ED and all other side effects that comes with being an army grunt for twenty five years straight. I was finally getting my life back on track. All I wanted, all I was begging the universe for. Was to enjoy being a thrice-divorced, alimony-paying, alcoholic, nicotine-addicted ex-army grunt with fucked knees, a wrecked back, and anger management issues that at this point technically counted as a personality. That was it. That was the dream. Instead, I got this. Fucking reality with patch notes a fucking third-rate, overused, bargain-bin trope of reality turning into a godsdamn MMO RPG with no bloody toturial, explanation or even proper fucking gaming experience balancing In the end I finally kicked the bucket but guess what after going out In a blaze of glory by blowing up my power armors fusion core I open my eyes only to find myself In my eighteen year old body, theres just one tiny problem apearantly my AI got reincarnated along side me long story short basically I got a nagging AI with mood swings Inside my bloody head, seriuosly what could possible go wrong?

Megumi Fujiboma, a boy who met an untimely end, awakens to find himself reincarnated as the heir of the prestigious Fujiboma household, one of the three main branches of the revered Boma clan. From the moment of his birth, everyone eagerly anticipated the growth of this remarkable heir. However, their enthusiasm quickly faded when Megumi was revealed to lack external abilities, and was declared unfit to become an exorcist—one of those destined to drive the world away from darkness. Yet, Megumi equipped with a system that was set to change his circumstances far sooner than he had expected refused to give up. [Target successfully bound] ******** [Your awakening has concluded] [Obtaining Tenfold Increments...] [Final appraisal: Light Energy manipulation] [Rank: Supreme] ******** With each stride he took, however, a new challenge emerged: his inferiority in external energy was far more complex than he had originally thought. "If one cannot harness the profound forces of light and darkness, then their latent talent is rendered completely useless." ... And to make things worse, he possessed an ability that had a very small, but catastrophic drawback.

In a world ruled by ruthless sects, immortal cultivators, and hidden empires, Sung Jin Ezio is nothing. No bloodline. No destiny. No gifted cultivation body. After being abandoned and humiliated, Ezio is drawn into the forbidden Casanova Sect—where cultivation is not built on swords… but on desire, illusion, and secrets. Behind velvet curtains and glowing lanterns, Ezio learns how to seduce, manipulate, and steal power from the hearts of others. As he secretly acquires techniques from rival sects—including the ruthless strategic arts of Machiavelli—his cultivation path twists into something the heavens never intended. Kings fall from whispered lies. Rebellions are bought like investments. Wars become profit. Ezio does not seek to save the world. He seeks to own it. But when seduction and strategy begin to tear his soul apart, a forbidden Tarot is born—one that may turn him into a god… or a monster history will never forget. This is not a story about a hero. This is the rise of a shadow king.

After the War of the Living, the world does not rebuild — it stabilizes. Peace is enforced through control, surveillance, and calculated violence. Chaos is gone, but so is meaning. Outside this system exist the Pikas — individuals stripped of fear, attachment, and ideology. They do not fight for justice or survival. They exist to end pain. Voi Dione is one of them. Labeled the evil left from all wars, Voi moves through abandoned lands and controlled cities, killing without hesitation and without belief. His actions expose the fragile logic behind enforced peace and force governments to confront a truth they refuse to accept: violence does not disappear — it evolves. As systems attempt to erase him and recreate his power, the line between order and destruction begins to collapse. VOID is a dark dystopian science fiction story about power, moral ambiguity, and what remains when meaning is no longer necessary for survival.

The planet Neire is cursed, and a malevolent corruption is spread throughout the lands. Dark horrors reside around every corner, and safety is a concept of tales and legends. Trapped in a world where they are at the bottom of the natural food chain, humans have followed the trends of the lands, and done something unnatural. Banding together, they hunted their hunters. Weapons in hand, they faced living nightmares. Unable to wield aether, they used Eldrim cards to spread their dominion. In a world where death was their only birthright, they carved out an empire that was legend incarnate. But while they fought cursed monsters outside, a more insidious monstrosity struck from within. Greed, deception, and war marked the end of the Valeriya Empire. Hundreds of years later, Nero is born into a nation of warriors, in an age cracking beneath an unseen weight. Whispers of a new order, undercurrents to seize power, and a desire to form a new empire have spread throughout the lands. The world is ready for a change, but it might not be ready for Nero who was betrayed. They messed with his brother, and now, they must face the consequences.

Decades of war ended only because one man became the world’s greatest tyrant. The Shadow Monarch ruled through death, fear, and unstoppable power, forcing the world to its knees—until he was finally vanquished by the Hero of Light, struck down by a single sword carrying the hopes of millions. Except… he wasn’t. Wary of his decades-long conquest and exhausted by endless war, the Shadow Monarch seized the moment to step away from the throne of darkness and into the background of history. While the world celebrates his death, he now roams the nations as a low-ranked adventurer under the name Cid Wren—a man hiding godlike power, walking among mortals, and quietly deciding what kind of world should truly exist.
