Celestial Blueprint- A construction worker’s improbable AI

Shane Albright was a man who understood the weight of a bundle of shingles and the cost of a single misstep. A blue-collar contractor fighting to keep his crew sober and his business afloat, he never expected to be the "Ridge Beam" of the universe. Everything changed the day he received the Celestial Proxy System. What started as a digital HUD helping him navigate construction logistics and site safety quickly evolved into something far more dangerous. As Shane levels up, he discovers that the world is being systematically dismantled by Apex Negativa, a dark architect of entropy who thrives on societal division, addiction, and manufactured chaos. But Shane isn't just a roofer with a cheat code. He is the Scion of the Triple Anchor—the son of the Norn of the Present, the God of Justice, and the God of Silence. [System Notification: New Quest Received] [Objective: Rebuild the broken Norse Pantheon.] [Reward: Unlock the Master Slots of Celestial Magic.] As the world begins a "Reverse Evolution"—plunging from modern luxury into a gritty, 19th-century survivalist nightmare—Shane must use his "Renewed Clarity" to lead the survivors. From MMA cages to the halls of the Senate, and eventually the Presidency, Shane’s "Common Sense Party" becomes the only sanctuary left in a world of darkening suns, tectonic shifts, and terrifying catfish-human hybrids. The Architect wants an apocalypse. The Old Gods want their thrones back. Loki wants a punchline. Shane Albright just wants to make sure the roof doesn't leak. Join Shane as he shingles the sky, outmaneuvers the Trickster, and prepares for a Ragnarok where "Fate" is just another blueprint waiting to be rewritten.

My First Gacha Pull Gave Me an Epic Succubus Nun

Kurose Akira accidentally gains access to a mysterious game. Within the game, he takes on the role of an Adventurer Guild Leader, recruiting adventurers from other worlds to complete a wide variety of commissions and quests. His very first recruit is nothing more than an ordinary apprentice nun—a weak, unremarkable starting unit by all accounts. Yet Akira soon discovers something abnormal. He can edit and combine the attributes of the adventurers he recruits. [Nun] + [Succubus] + [Unwavering Loyalty] = The Shame of the Succubus, immune to Holy Light. [Crystal Construct] + [Undead] + [Oath Knight] = An Undead Oath Knight whose very skeleton is forged from dazzling crystals. [Valkyrie] + [Red Dragon] + [Undying Flame] = …? As countless attribute combinations are explored, one legendary adventurer after another gathers beneath Kurose Akira’s banner. His guild grows rapidly, becoming a force that defies common sense and established rules. But for some reason, as the guild members continue to grow stronger, the attributes that can be added to them begin to change. They become… strange. [White Tiger] [Tentacles] [Red Warmth] [Void] [Blood Moon] [Brilliant Galaxy] [Mother of Demons]… These bizarre and ominous attributes give birth not only to increasingly eccentric adventurers, but also to a vast, magical, and wondrous journey that draws Akira ever deeper into the unknown. Years later, when the boundary between worlds finally collapses, the guild members step forth from the game world itself. They gather around Kurose Akira, kneel before him, and elevate him— —to the sole throne of godhood in the world.

Dark Ascension:Return of A Failed Villain

So I died choking on a sandwich. Not in battle. Not saving anyone. Not even doing something mildly interesting. Just... lunch. One minute I'm biting into way too much bread, the next I'm coughing, then choking, then—nothing. Classic. Next thing I know, I'm waking up in a body that smells like incense and existential dread, staring at hands that belong to someone else. Some noble prick with a family crest and a servant who calls me "Second Son" like it's an insult. Which, apparently, it is. Turns out I've been isekai'd into that dark fantasy novel I used to read. You know the one—magic schools, reality-bending nobles, cosmic horrors that eat worlds for breakfast. The works. And I've been dumped into the body of Damon Mournblade, a background character so irrelevant he dies in the first major disaster to show how dangerous the bad guys are. Oh, and that disaster? It's happening in about three months. So here's the situation: I've got the memories of a dead guy who read this story, the affinity of a death-obsessed noble house that thinks I'm mediocre, and a countdown clock to the scene where I'm supposed to get vaporized by something that makes demons look like puppies. The smart play? Run. Hide. Let the "heroes" handle it while I figure out how to survive in a universe where humans are the bottom of the food chain. But here's the thing about dying from a sandwich—it does something to your pride. Makes you think maybe, just maybe, you deserve better than a footnote. So I'm not running. I'm going to walk right into that disaster. I'm going to look the thing that's supposed to kill me in the face. And I'm going to make it regret ever noticing my name. The universe thinks I'm a corpse waiting to happen. The nobles think I'm invisible. The "protagonist" hasn't even shown up yet. Let them all keep sleeping. Because when the screaming starts and the walls start breathing and everyone realizes too late what's actually coming—they're going to notice the dead guy who refused to stay dead. And that's when the real game begins. Assuming I survive the next three months. No pressure.

Reincarnated as a Noble Son, Frontier Guild Master

Mun Kyung-Sam died on the night he won five hundred million won. He woke up in a body that had already lost everything. Now he is Bradley Tatume — second son of a frontier noble in Old Dornelis, a town too small to matter and too important to abandon. The Kingdom of Varanyth is at war. Troops have been withdrawn. Reinforcements are gone. The forest has noticed. Goblins no longer flee at the sight of patrols. They circle livestock. They test fences. They measure response times. Seventy-six guards defend nearly two thousand square kilometers of frontier land. Twelve can endure extended patrol. The forest does not grow tired. Bradley inherits debt of a different kind. A strained treasury. Weak merchant confidence. A dissolved engagement. A reputation for drunken incompetence. His father grants him six months to prove usefulness. Fail, and he is cast out. Succeed, and he becomes a factor in politics he does not control. In his former life, he managed product cycles and shrinking margins. In this one, he manages collapse. Old Dornelis relies entirely on noble soldiers to suppress monsters. When war pulls those soldiers away, nothing replaces them. No auxiliary force. No structured bounty system. No scalable response. Only reaction. And reaction is slow. So Bradley proposes something radical for a minor frontier town. A Guild. A civilian structure under noble authority. Transparent monster bounties. Ranked advancement. Retained percentages for logistics and sustainability. Institutionalized defense. Necessary. Efficient. Dangerous. Because if the Guild grows strong, the Baron may see rebellion. If suspicion rises, a Knight-Captain will arrive. If higher nobles feel threatened, consequences will not be subtle. Meanwhile, the goblins are no longer random. They split formations. They test blind angles. They return in larger numbers. Something in the forest is organizing. Bradley does not seek heroism. He seeks stability. Predictable revenue. Controlled expansion. Reduced volatility. Structure over spectacle. But in a kingdom where power prefers disorder it can exploit— Building structure may prove more dangerous than fighting monsters. And Bradley Tatume must determine which threat demands greater caution: The creatures gathering beyond the wall— Or the nobles who benefit when walls fail.

A God of hope.

Heath Dollen was a man in his 40s who lived in a suburban complex in Lund, Sweden. He was lonely and spent most of his days tending to himself after an accident that had left him scarred for life. Heath had travelled throughout Europe and Asia, painting and writing avidly about his experiences. When he is not in his apartment, he does his best to give warmth to others around him, helping people around his neighbourhood, aiding in light labour, cleaning the environment, and donating much of his money to people he verified that required it. Heath saw the downtrodden teen Elias drop his phone on accident from the other side of the street. To help, he thought of buying a new phone for this young man. He introduced himself and after gaining their trust, Heath and Elias became good friends and Heath was even nicknamed 'uncle.' There, he was introduced to many games, specifically sandbox games. Heath heard of Games like Minecraft and Roblox, but after being introduced to 7 Days to Die, Cities: Skylines, Dwarf Fortress, Enshrouded, Going Medieval, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Vintage Story and more. Heath became an avid gamer while also gaining strength by replacing some of his joints with prosthetics and managing his exercises and diet. It was slow progress, but his life became more fulfilling than ever. Now he had a family to look forward to! But at one point, while Elias was helping with Heath's troubles, he spotted a man who appeared lost, walking across the street in traffic, yet was somehow never hit. Heath said aloud that they should be careful there and asked if they needed assistance. The man, that 'thing,' turned to him. Now walking towards Heath robotically, yet avoiding the vehicles like a phantom, they soon came upon him. Once close enough, its features were noticed: A beautiful, yet uncannily androgynous face, eyes that appeared too clear and glassy, and skin that was too perfect with no features of wrinkles or pores and no hair throughout. A voice that sounded harmonic with the world spoke, yet their mouth never moved. "Perfect." A melodic sound, one expected for a tenor, it captivated Heath but simultaneously scared those around him, then. . . Suddenly, Heath blacked out. Hearing the cry of Elias for him. He left this world.
