In a world where power is measured by marks given by the forces known as the Astral Beings, Kael lives in the quiet kingdom of Mirevale, a place for the unchosen. When his home and family are destroyed, he is forced to survive alone, saved only by the mysterious marked warrior Soren Vale. Under Soren’s harsh training, Kael pushes his body beyond its limits, but a strange, unexplained force begins to awaken within him. As he learns to protect himself, his true potential remains unknown, hinting at a power that could change everything.

In his previous life, he was a demon who moved worlds like chess pieces. In this one, he is reborn in the lowest plane, trapped in a fragile body… and surrounded by ambitious insects. Xie Luan does not cultivate like others. He does not rely on brute force, luck, or the justice of the heavens. He cultivates fear, desire, and death… and weaves them into crimson threads. While sects wage wars for power, geniuses believe themselves invincible, and the weak cling to false hope, he watches in silence, calculating every move. Because in a world where everyone seeks ascension, he already knows the end of the path… and this time, he plans to drag everyone down with him.

Saving the world at the cost of everything one holds dear - that was an ending Icard could not accept! There were praises for him! There was glory! There was status and power beyond anything mankind could imagine and yet, there was nothing. Not for him. And so, after the apocalypse ends, he trades his essence, his status and his progress to get them back. And at the center of them all was a woman, the drive behind his determination. Icard successfully regresses after a contract with his System Keeper. He has secured for himself a second chance, and his very last chance. And what his intentions this time? To save the world again? 'Haha' Icard laughs quietly. His years of experience has taught him how to be brutal beyond expectations. This time, he really doesn't care. 'The world could be saved or perish, but I'll rather let my selfishness consume it, than watch them die again...' Those words were spoken--those words where real...

Alexander sank deeper into the salty river that fed into the Ocean. his wound bleeding into the ocean, despite the cauterizing burn from the quarter sized hole. 'No, please. Not like this. Not when everything was working out. Quin, Seraphina, Grey, I'm so sorry. every time I try to fix things.. I should have know not to trust those rich bastards. I swear to any god that will listen, give me a break, will you!' Alexander replayed the moment of the attack. Kahawai stood over Alexander with the golden flame threatening to blast him. the spell was a low first tier spell using fire and air to condense and increase in power enough to melt metal. "You're joking, right Kahawai. You cant just hit me with that. I'm only ranked F. Your going to kill me." He flinched, taking a step backwards. the edge of the dock making him step forward again. "You have no one to blame but yourself, Alexander. This world is unforgiving and I cannot have you as a weak link. This is to important! Survive this and you will prove you are ready. If you cant then you will die here. Better her than getting the rest of us killed later." Kahawai held his spell at Alexander, firing at his center. 'I wont die, not like this!' A swirl of darkness took him further down into the river, swallowing him. Do you wish to live? 'Yes!' Will you serve? 'Yes, as long as I can live with my family. Anything.' Then I have found you. The soothing voice faded, releasing the darkness around him. A mass of darkness flooded round Alexander, slightly different from the magical darkness. it covered his body and entered the wound and into his body. 'User found, initiating repair function. greeting user. Hello host, you may call us, Lunaris.'

In a forgotten, snow-covered forest where intruders die without mercy, Bael guards the only home he has ever known: an isolated cabin he shares with his mother and his little sister, Elia. Raised under the iron will of a woman who loves with savage intensity and judges without compassion, Bael has learned to kill without hesitation. Every drop of blood spilled is proof of loyalty; every trespasser eliminated, one step closer to his mother’s approval. Trained by a mother obsessed with absolute strength, Bael faces increasingly lethal trials: summoned monsters, battles on the edge of death, ranks he must break or perish trying. Yet while he protects Elia—the girl who sees him as the hero of her fairy tales—and bears the crushing weight of never disappointing the one figure who has shaped his entire existence, a single question haunts him: will he fulfill his mother’s inhuman expectations… or shatter before he can become the perfect weapon she demands?

Academy novels. If you take notice, most of them are about nameless characters, professors, and villains. And another aspect is that there is only one academy or that same academy is declared the strongest. However, Aestrea, a successful award-winning actor, actually gets transmigrated into one of those novels. Instead, he finds himself transmigrated into the body of the most powerful student at the Weakest Academy. Just at the time of the academy's competition... –––––––––––– Discord: https://discord.gg/dp865x8BfZ - Tags: Anti-Hero MC | Nonchalant MC | Gore | Virgins | Harem | Yandere | Milf | No-Sex Toys | No-Futanari | No-Yuri | No-Netorare | Kinky Heroines | Obsessed Heroines | Misunderstandings | Smart MC | Bipolar MC | Strength-based Social Hierarchy | Strong Love Interests | Teacher & Student Relationship | Sugar Mommies | Reincarnation | Devoted Love Interests | Cold Love Interest | Spirits | Sword & Magic | Strong Wealthy Characters | Special Abilities | Slice Of Life

When death is just the beginning of a worse story... Marcus Reeves, a burnt-out 28-year-old IT worker, dies in a truck accident and reincarnates as Caelan Ashborne—the forgotten bastard son of Duke Valorian in a cultivation fantasy world. But this isn't just any world—it's from a webnovel Marcus read, and he knows exactly how this story ends. In two years, his mother Elara dies of illness. Three months later, he's murdered by his half-brother. Both deaths are footnoted in a single line: "unmourned and unremarked." Refused to accept this fate, Caelan discovers he has the Apex Sovereign System—a power that lets him grow stronger through combat, achievement, and bonds with others. Dual cultivation with trusted partners accelerates growth exponentially. There's just one problem: the only person Caelan truly trusts, the only one who's ever loved him unconditionally, is Elara—his mother. As political schemes intensify and assassination attempts begin, Caelan faces an impossible choice. Traditional cultivation won't make him strong enough fast enough to change their fates. But crossing the ultimate taboo—becoming his mother's lover to save her life through forbidden dual cultivation—will make them outcasts even among outcasts. From forgotten bastard to rising power, Caelan must: Master the cultivation system before his enemies master him Navigate deadly family politics where siblings murder for favor Build a faction from the estate's other forgotten children Steal away his half-sister from a cruel arranged marriage Face the novel's "heroic" protagonist who's destined to win Make impossible choices between morality and survival In a world where power is everything and family means nothing, Caelan will forge his own path—even if it means rewriting the very story he's trapped in. Love. Power. Taboo. Survival. Some destinies are worth breaking. Some bonds are worth any price.

The world rests on the Sea of Suffering. Mortals are reflections on water—beautiful, but not truly there. Only cultivation can make you solid enough that reality bothers to remember your name. Liu Chenming has once in a generation talent. His clan calls him blessed. But the elders who shower him with gifts, the mentor who arrives at the perfect moment, the rivals who test him just enough to make him stronger—none of it is kindness. His clan doesn't just cultivate qi. They cultivate karma. They've been engineering his destiny for years, and he's only just beginning to see the bigger picture. To cultivate is to become real—and the path to becoming real is filled with strategy, caution, manipulation, and moral compromise. What to Expect - An intelligent MC who must navigate schemes to survive - A cultivation system that connects to the metaphysical structure of the world - Consequences that follow choices across chapters and years - A local MC with no hidden memories or cheats - Mysteries that reward attentive readers - An MC who is forced to make moral compromises - Karma as a literal, exploitable force rather than abstract justice - Political intrigue between family branches vying for power - An MC who reasons through problems rather than overpowering them - A world that existed before the MC and doesn't revolve around him

Having lost his parents at a young age and being forced to take care of his sister since then, she and his novels became the only things that mattered in his life.

But by the time he came to terms with his new reality, it was a little too late. Thrust into the body of the deuteragonist of his favorite novel, he does something he soon realizes he shouldn't have done… He saves the main villainess of the story and finds himself walking the dark path that led to her inevitable madness… But would he succumb to the fate the plot had woven… or would he change it like he did once?

For Damon, the choice is simple: Embrace the divine power that burns him from the inside out, or watch his life on Earth, including the one girl who sees past his walls, shatter forever. From quiet rooftops(literally) to cosmic wars(also literally), Damon must discover if saving existence means losing the fragile human he was trying to be.

He will drag them into his domain. The Sovereign has awakened.

Listen to me closely. Never, and I mean NEVER, leave a hate comment on a game forum right before you die. My name used to be... well, it doesn't matter. I was a 34-year-old salaryman who died in the stupidest way possible. How? I got slapped to death for grabbing a high school girl’s "assets". Wait, hold on! Don't look at me like that! It wasn't my fault, okay? My hand just moved on its own! It was just a tiny, split-second intrusive thought! Come on, you guys reading this—don't act like saints. You’ve had those dark urges too, right? You’ve wanted to grab something forbidden at least once in your life, right?! RIGHT?! Anyway, she slapped me. So hard my soul literally ejected from my body. I thought that was the punishment. I was wrong. When I opened my eyes, I was in [Legends of Valtheris]. Yes, that trash game. The one with the cliché plot where the world ends because some teenage students get their hearts broken. And the worst part? I didn't become the Hero. I didn't become the Villain. I became Revan von Alstaire. The background character. The loser. The guy I literally insulted online five minutes before I died. I called him a "Simp" and laughed at his "Tiny D*ck." Fate is truly a comedian. Now, I’m destined to be the bullied lackey of the future Villainess, Sylvia von Vespera. The game script says I should lick her boots, accept her abuse, and die with her like a loyal dog. Screw that. Remember my last comment? "Revan is such a loser! Tiny dck! If I were you, instead of bowing down, I would squeeze her boobs and own her completely! Garbage character!" Well, it seems God took that personally. Fine. You want a show? I’ll give you a show. I won’t be a simp. I won’t filter my words anymore. I’ll let my intrusive thoughts win. I’ll turn this trash plot upside down—even if I have to slap every "Genius" in this academy to do it.
