Stephen Marlowe failed the Affinity Test. Labeled ordinary, he was sent to clean the labs where alchemical operatives — known as Resonants — manipulate volatile elements to hunt monsters born from the Red Aurora. But when a containment breach destroys his lab, Stephen is exposed to a fusion of forbidden ingredients. He survives. He changes. Now, he’s caught between megacorporations, secret experiments, and powers no one understands — not even him. With the Red Aurora looming over history like an open wound, Stephen’s existence threatens to disrupt the delicate balance between monsters and those who hunt them. The world already ended once. If Stephen loses control, it might end again.

I was victorious. Past tense. Tragic, really. Foes and friends—all dead. Fully traumatized. Still coping with it. The Golden immortal—born from Adam's own spine in Eden—reduced to this. But it wasn't all, this is the end bullshit. The System gave me the polite fiction of a choice: Ascend. Become the lonely god of a fresh, empty universe… Or go back. Rip time open like cheap wrapping paper and try again. I chose to Rip. Obviously. Now it’s 2026 again. The wars haven’t started yet. The betrayals are still just bad dreams. My loved ones still breathe. I should have come back diminished, humbled, a fragile thing waiting to be crushed by the timeline. I didn’t. All the power followed. All the titles. All the blood on my hands. And the world? It’s watching. It’s pissed, but I can make do. There are gods and monsters out there, sure. Hunters in the shadows. A timeline that very much wants to stay on its rails. But honestly? I’m far more interested in seeing just how far I can bend this second chance, save everyone, save the world, and maybe ....just maybe. Save myself in the process. A dark regression progression fantasy featuring a man who’s already won once, an extremely hostile System, consequences that followed him home, and a universe that’s about to learn what happens when the final boss gets a do-over.

Pro Tip: Never play a game 100 different times, no matter how addicting it is! ~My Lovely Harem School Life~ Just like the cringy name suggests, it's a well-known dating sim that gained popularity due to the beautiful heroines, fun story, and most importantly, the significance of the player's choices that influence the endings. ...But why did I end up transmigrating into the scummiest character in the game, Yagami Reiji, the heir to the biggest Yakuza group in the country? The trash that harassed the main cast, the trash that bullied the students, and the trash that ultimately 'steals' the heroines if the player makes the wrong decisions. A walking bad ending. Why me? And out of every possible role... why him? Now, I’m trapped in a life that isn’t mine, surrounded by classmates who flinch at my presence and a father who expects me to inherit an empire built on blood. Can I rewrite Reiji’s fate before his past drags me down with him? Can I live a normal school life when the shadows of the underworld are watching my every move? I’ve got multiple targets on my back, a reputation in flames, and to make matters worse, the original protagonist is somehow a complete moron. This isn’t a dating sim anymore. This is my reality..... *** Patreon: patreon.com/Ares_00 You can access: - Up to 30 advance chapters - Updated Character Images (Free) - Fun and interactive polls - Private community - Fan requests  - And MUCH MORE

He loved food more than anything—yet spent his entire life unable to taste it. Confined to a hospital bed, surviving on a drip, he watched the world celebrate cuisine he could never eat. His only comfort was following the rise of the world’s greatest chef, a living legend whose dishes moved millions. On the day his life ended, he made three wishes: to taste real food, to meet his idol, and to live as a chef. Death answered him with rebirth.

Victor Hugo: "You all call me 'The Conscience of France,' but at this moment, it is beating in Lionel's chest!" Émile Zola: "'Naturalism' or 'Realism'? No, only Lionel's 'Modernism' belongs to the 20th century!" Gustave Flaubert: "Maupassant is my best student; Lionel is my kindred spirit." Guy de Maupassant: "Lionel's only flaw is that he was not infected with noble, magnificent syphilis." Anton Chekhov: "What more do we need in the world besides sunshine, air, water, and smiles? Lionel's works, of course!" Leo Tolstoy: "Are you suggesting I should go to Sweden to accept the Nobel Prize that Lionel Sorel refused?" Arthur Conan Doyle: "It is my honor to serve as the assistant to the great detective Sherlock Holmes and to be written into a novel by Monsieur Lionel!" Oscar Wilde: "Lionel, light of my life, fire of my loins, my sin, my soul!" Nikola Tesla: "Without Lionel, there would be no 'Tesla-Sorel Electric Company'!" Thomas Edison: "The demon who dug the light bulb out of my heart, the demon!" Yan Fu: "The French man of letters, Lionel Sorel, is a genius of universal scale, a lover of humanity, and master of the Chinese language. He should be brought in as the Imperial Tutor!" Sa Zhenbing : "Brother Sorel, the 'New China' you spoke of, I have witnessed it!"

After transmigrating into a parallel Fast & Furious world, Hunter woke up only to find himself targeted by his own family and childhood friends. Fortunately, his cheat abilities awakened in time. Crushing hostile gazes with ease, he soon realized that this world was far more dangerous than it appeared on the surface. From that moment on, Hunter fell in love with racing, coding, and of course, beautiful women. Magic? He can use it. Assassination? He knows it. On the streets where speed rules and darkness lurks beneath neon lights, there is nothing he can’t do.

"Magic is not a miracle. It is a language. And you are pronouncing it wrong." I incarnated into this frail human vessel for a simple purpose: Observation. ​It was a miscalculation. ​I woke up in a dystopia where "Mages" have forgotten the true nature of power. They treat the 70 Names of the Creation like blunt instruments. They are stuck in the Circle of Concepts, drawing shapes in the dirt, unaware that the Sphere of Gods even exist. ​Now, I am trapped in a mortal body that burns calories like a furnace every time I speak a Truth. ​The Magic: While they struggle with simple shapes, I calculate with infinite precision. I don't cast spells; I define reality. ​The Progression: The world has lost the path to the Sphere of Gods. I am the only one who remembers the way back up. ​The Burden: I accidentally acquired a traumatized child soldier as my "Luggage." I keep him around solely because he is the only thing that soothes my divine headache. ​Armed with nothing but a cheap suit, a fountain pen, and a perfect understanding of the world, I am going to teach them a lesson. ​"The Universe was built on 70 Names. You only remember 69."

Hehe... I restarted again :)

This is a raw, unfiltered story of his journey from a basement in Toronto to the pinnacle of global fame.

The rain pounded against Victor Hale’s apartment window as the knock on the door rattled him awake. “Victor! Rent! Now!” His wallet was empty, his stomach tight, and the city outside felt colder than ever. Just when despair threatened to swallow him whole, a faint holographic glow appeared in his room: the Infinite Dimensional System had activated. A voice he didn’t recognize, a set of impossible tasks, and a mysterious woman watching from the shadows—Victor realized one thing: his life would never be the same again. Every choice matters. Every failure carries a price. And tonight, the first challenge is simply to survive the night…

They say meeting your soulmate is destiny, a beautiful collision of two worlds meant to be together. ...But why did my "fated encounter" have to be a head-on collision with Cassidy Valentine, the most hostile, entitled, and terrifying girl at Hartwell Academy? And why did it involve ruining her limited-edition blazer with cheap bodega coffee? I'm Isaiah Angelo. I run on three hours of sleep, instant caffeine, and the desperate need to secure a future for my little sister. I don't have time for drama. I definitely don't have time for romance. So, naturally, the universe decided to play a cruel joke. I didn't just make an enemy of one rich girl. I stumbled into the lives of four. The Valentine Quadruplets. Identical faces, four distinct flavors of trouble. Now, I’ve been hired as their live-in personal assistant. I’m trapped in a mansion with the four most desirable—and impossible—girls in the city. Cassidy, the "Problem Child" who has sworn to make my life a living hell. Harlow, the overly affectionate airhead who thinks snacks solve all emotional trauma. Vivienne, the ice-cold perfectionist who wants to micromanage my breathing. Sabrina, the silent observer who looks at me like I’m a puzzle she’s dying to solve. The pay is life-changing. The job is suicide. Can I keep my scholarship, raise my sister, and manage the chaos of the Valentine household without losing my mind? I have a mountain of debt, a schedule from hell, and four billionaire heiresses who suddenly seem very interested in the "scholarship boy." This isn't a job. This is a survival horror game wrapped in silk sheets. WHAT TO EXPECT: - Ecchi Situations: The Valentines have zero concept of personal space, and the "accidents" are frequent, spicy, and very visual. - Harem Romance: Four identical sisters, one tired protagonist. The competition is fierce, the tension is high, and the jealousy is real. - Competent Protagonist: Isaiah is smart, hardworking, and sharp-tongued. He isn't dense; he's just too exhausted to deal with their thirst. - Class Gap Dynamics: A gritty look at the difference between the struggling working class and the absurdly wealthy elite. - Heartwarming Family Moments: Because behind the fanservice and comedy, Isaiah is doing it all for his little sister.
