Harmonic Rebirth

(Also known as: That time I got Reincarnated With Sound Magic in a World With No Music) In the Kingdom of Vornis, royal blood has always meant one thing: devastating Fire Magic — the ultimate symbol of power, dominance, and unbreakable tradition. But when twin kids are born with the long-forgotten, scorned gift of *Sound Magic* — a “weak” branch dismissed as useless and extinct — the palace erupts in scandal. One twin, however, harbors a secret no one could ever suspect. He remembers his past life as Raze — a 25-year-old failed musician from Earth who died filled with regret, never having made the world smile with his songs. Reborn as *Prince Aster Wynfall*, alongside his devoted twin sister Astra, he makes a vow: *This time, I will not fail.* While a ruthless queen plots to erase the “defective” heirs and the court clings to its fiery legacy, Aster unleashes something this world has never seen: - *Recorded music* that spreads across kingdoms like wildfire. - *Rap* that leaves hardened mages speechless and crowds in tears. - *Concerts* that unite nobles and commoners in shared emotion, shaking the very foundations of power. From a lonely dreamer struck by lightning… to an eleven-year-old prodigy forging empires with melodies, defying the crown, and proving that the rarest magic isn’t weak — it’s the power to move hearts, topple traditions, and make an entire world sing. What if the greatest weapon in a world of fire and sword… was a song no one could ever forget? *Harmonic Rebirth* — A unique musical fantasy isekai blending reincarnation, heartfelt family bonds, clever inventions that rewrite magic itself, defiant underdogs, and an emotional revolution where music becomes the ultimate force of change. If you love stories where the “weakest” power turns out to be the strongest, where talent and love conquer politics and prejudice, and where every note carries the weight of two lifetimes — start reading now. The world is about to learn a new harmony.

AZI: Burial of a Selfish Lunatic

Full Title, AZI: The History Shattering Burial of a Selfish Lunatic, Who Walked through Reincarnation for Two-Trillion Years Volumes 1-3 Synopsis: “Who?” Holding a lone gourd in hand the young man raises it to the Heavens with a single question. “Who wishes to accompany me? To stay by my side for an eternity, and to walk through the mountains, and seas?” May container spoilers below Volume 4 Synopsis: Weapon spirits, such is the nature of every single Sinner within the Leng Bing Realm. In other words, all of them are but tools, and a tool… “A tool has no right to choose their owner, and what a tool does is decided by their owner.” “…Cruel, how very cruel the laws of this world are. Even upon death, a soul may not rest.” Volume 5 Synopsis: “Surnamed Ye, if you had a choice between being a hero or a demon lord, which would you choose? Naturally, you can also choose to be a villager A or B if you wanted to.” “What kind of question is that? Hmm.” Contemplating for a bit, Ye Chen answers— “I guess, the hero? Since he always wins in the end?” “Hero, is it?” “And you, surnamed Long?” “I think, the role of the hero—is a role that should only be played by a masochist.” “The hell? Is this entire question supposed to be a way to diss me?” “The fate of a hero is to suffer. They’re constantly being pushed left and right. …While everyone else drowns in a sea of despair, a hero must stand their ground, and step forward—to guide the deadbeats along. They must become the shining beacon of hope that others may follow—towards a future, where they may survive. Tell me then, if a hero isn’t a masochist, then what are they?” The world is a game board, those who control the game board, and the game itself… What are they? Volume 6 Synopsis: “A lunatic near death has three options. One, they can choose to pass away peacefully. Two, they can choose to spend the rest of their remaining life to find a solution that will let them live. Three, they can drag an entire world down as a part of their burial.” ……… “The longer you live for, and the more you experience, the less you care about the things around you. Maybe, I’m just someone who has reached that point?” ……… “You’re right in saying that even if this world goes up into flames, I’d still be drinking away at my leisure. Why bother to care for a world that is completely foreign to me? The people who I had cared for, they aren’t here; hence, I see very little purpose in getting myself invested into this environment.” ……… The 46th prince of the Hong Xiao Empire was born between the emperor and the 114th concubine. He was born on a moonlit night, and yet, since his eyes were blind, his majesty—the emperor decided to name him Bujian Yue. “Did you know—that the more fearful a prey is, the tastier it is? At least to me, since I enjoy chewing on my food to savor the flavor.” “…?” Enlarging its stature, the black serpent abruptly snaps its head forward, and swallows the palace maid whole. Leaving a bite mark on the ground, the black serpent begins to chew, as the sound of meat and bones being pulverized comes from its maw. And eventually, the black serpent swallows.

Genshin Impact: I Have Popularity System

Caelus transmigrates into the world of Teyvat, awakening as a nameless orphan in Natlan, the land of war and flame. Gifted with terrifying talent and an unshakable will, he obtains a Pyro Vision at an unprecedented age. His rise is meteoric. During the sacred Night Pilgrimage of the Pyro Archon, he defeats Mavka in open combat, shaking Natlan to its core and claiming the right to ascend as its new Pyro Archon. But on the eve of his coronation, everything changes. Caelus awakens the Popularity System. A mysterious interface connects him to “players” beyond his world. Their admiration becomes his strength. Their belief becomes currency. Through the system’s shop, he can purchase abilities, artifacts, and even rewrite certain rules of Teyvat itself. Armed with divine authority and system privileges, Caelus does the unthinkable. He suspends the Night Pilgrimage. He forges an artificial Pyro Vision. He alters destinies. When Kiko awakens a Vision personally granted by the Pyro Archon, rumors explode across Natlan. When Ginitch, once destined for Dendro, ignites with Pyro instead, the balance of elements trembles. “Caelus, you’ll regret this,” Mavka warns. “I am the true Pyro Archon,” he replies. But behind the controversy lies a secret the world does not know. The Night Pilgrimage was never glorious. It was a ritual that demanded blood. Caelus chooses to bear infamy, manipulate fate, and stand alone against the Abyss if it means no more children of Natlan will die for a title soaked in flame. When players finally uncover the truth through the main story quest, their reaction is unanimous: “He carried everything himself.” “He deserves to be pulled.” And when Caelus enters the gacha pool… They understand why he is called a six-star existence.

The Myth of the Empty Fist

Apeiron Logos is a young boy whose world is erased by war. Orphaned by the destruction of his home, he is taken to Olympus, carrying nothing with him but loss, rage, and a promise: what happened to his family will never be allowed to happen again. There, he meets Pandora, the Heart of the Multiverse a girl whose existence quietly anchors reality itself. Through her, Apeiron finds warmth, purpose, and something he believed was lost forever. But while gods and warriors wield power as naturally as breath, Apeiron is only human. No god will train him. No army will accept him. Strength, speed, and will alone are not enough to stand against the forces tearing the multiverse apart. Refusing to yield, Apeiron walks a path no one else dares to take. Through relentless suffering and absolute discipline, he becomes the third true master of Mu no Ken the Empty Fist, a forbidden martial art that relies on neither energy, magic, nor divinity. It is an art of emptiness, precision, and denial, feared even by gods. With it, Apeiron rises from an orphaned human into a savior of worlds, living proof that fate does not belong to gods alone. But legends do not last forever. A great tragedy strikes, and Apeiron vanishes. His name becomes myth. His art becomes rumor. In his absence, the multiverse descends into darkness, and Pandora disappears from the world he once protected. Now, the legend must return. Driven by love, loss, and the promise he made as a child, Apeiron Logos steps back into a broken reality hunted by gods, feared by monsters, and pursued by the echoes of his own legend. To save Pandora and restore the light, he must challenge the new ruler of the multiverse, prove who is truly stronger the greatest in history or the greatest of the present and confront a world warped by imbalance. With nothing but his body, his will, and the Empty Fist, Apeiron must bring order back to existence through the only path left to him, Mu no Ken the Empty Fist!

Threads of the Soul

[Assessment Complete. Activating Mutagen, Please Standby….] A normal day is suddenly turned on its head when a single voice utters those fateful words into the minds of every single soul on the planet. It was after those words that every single man, woman and child was granted the opportunity to gain fantastical abilities in the name of evolution. Not even the plants or animals were spared by the words of this mysterious voice. Yet not everyone got what they hoped for. Some developed no powers at all, their bodies not yet ready for the process. Others, were simply too frail to handle it. Mutating into horrific creatures, nightmares made real. Seth Quinn, a slightly below average IT worker, developed a unique ability. The Puppeteers Threads. The ability to turn inanimate objects into his obedient puppets. Will he and those he loves survive in this hellish new world? Will his new ability lead him to a life of greatness he always dreamed of? Could he become a Master of Puppets? ----------------------------------------------------- A book about an apocalyptic world and the powers that have risen within. Following the unique blend of necromantic and Summoning abilities, with a twist that offers many more opportunities. Admittedly, it has a slightly slow start, especially in the first 5 chapters. It's something I regret now, but can't change. I can only try to improve, so I hope you stick through it and get to the good meat that starts around chapter 5 at least. General warning for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed, not gonna be sunshine and rainbows. Other warnings for other issues, such as self harm or implications of sexual assault Will be provided at the start of the chapters, but even then they are just implied. Nothing explicit.
