The Pawn Ascendant: Chronicles of the Expendable Hero

A coward 28-year-old convenience store clerk with crippling anxiety who apologized to customers and avoided conflict at all costs. Then he died saving a child and got summoned to a fantasy world as a "hero." There's just one problem: he wasn't meant to succeed. While three powerful heroes get legendary skills and royal treatment, He is given trash stats and a useless ability called [Adaptive Evolution]. The truth? He's the Expendable—a sacrificial pawn summoned to absorb the System's curse so the real heroes can shine. He's supposed to die within months. They didn't count on his survival instinct. Betrayed by his party, sold into slavery, and thrown into death matches for noble entertainment, he learns the world's cruelest lesson: kindness is weakness, and only monsters survive. So he becomes one. Copying skills from everyone who tries to kill him. Devouring the power of those who underestimate him. Smiling politely while orchestrating massacres. The cowardly hero transforms into something far more terrifying—a strategic nightmare who turns every attempt on his life into a new weapon. But as he climbs from Level 1 to god-slaying powerhouse, he discovers the horrifying truth: he was never random. His soul is a fragment of the First Hero—the one who nearly destroyed the gods 1,000 years ago. The Expendable Protocol wasn't designed to kill a nobody. It was designed to kill him before he remembered what he was. Now the gods themselves descend to finish what they started. But he has spent years learning from predators, tyrants, and monsters. He's absorbed hundreds of skills, toppled kingdoms, allied with demons, and killed without hesitation. The coward who apologized to goblins has become the man who makes gods afraid. From convenience store clerk to weapon of mass destruction. From victim to predator. From hero to heretic to something the world has no name for. One man's journey to survive in a world that wanted him dead—and his transformation into the exact monster they deserved.

Reborn as a Mechanist with a God-Tier System

‘Ah shit, is this… Earth?’ In the far future, humanity has collapsed beneath the weight of its own technology. Megacities rose, AIs became rulers, and biological evolution was rewritten through genetic design. The world changed. Instead of humans, there are Synths, Geneforms, and AI Constructs. And instead of meow meow and woof woof, there are Neon Beasts- beasts mutated by the corruption of ADE. Leon Ardent, an assistant temporal engineer for SpaceX woke up in this strange dystopian world with neon skylines and aurora-like storms. One question lingered. ‘Where… am I?’ DING! ~----~ [ChronoSystem Rebooting…] [You have received your first Mission: Survive the First Cycle] ~----~ Well, things do escalate fast. Just like that, Leon was thrown into a cyberpunk world with weird skies, weird ecosystem, a weirder system, and with fragmented memories of his past.

Unawakened King: The Multiverse is My Playground

The Gods are tired of war. Or so they claim. After eons of bloodshed, the multiverse is ruled by the "Gods' Union Association"—a fragile alliance of deities who have agreed to stop killing each other and start sharing the spoils of the cosmos. But when a "Superior World" called Nova is discovered, the treaty turns into a shadow war. Nova, known to its inhabitants as Earth, is a treasure trove of energy and resources. Protected by an ancient barrier that keeps the Gods out, the deities have resorted to a different tactic: sending their "Troops" to invade from within, disguised as the very system that grants humans their superpowers. Enter Raven Desmerk. In a family of SSS-rank legends and global celebrities, Raven is the "Zero." Lazy, unawakened, and a constant embarrassment to the prestigious Desmerk name, he wants nothing more than a quiet life, a soft bed, and to be left alone by his arrogant sisters. But the universe has other plans. Accidentally bonded to the Nova System—a rogue interface that even the Gods fear—Raven is forced into a game he never wanted to play. His body is weak, his skills are non-existent, and his stamina is a joke. However, deep within Raven lies a dormant nightmare. When his energy hits rock bottom, when his breath fails and his heart stutters at the brink of death, the "King" wakes up. [Stamina: 0/100] [Condition Met: Absolute Zero.] [The King has entered the Playground.] Now, Raven must navigate a world of scheming gods, backstabbing criminals, and intense, dangerous romances, all while trying to keep his hidden side from burning the multiverse to the ground.
