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…

Kalypso "Kali" Brunn was searching. He was trying to find someone he once knew well, someone he'd lost without even realizing. Kali needed the man who could wholeheartedly love himself and the company of others yet live happily, even alone. That someone wouldn't need another leading their life, completely shaping every thought he had, each action he performed, and the emotions he'd felt. He simply had to see that man's lost smile once more, a smile so true and pure, and he believed the Black Manor was the best place to look. It was the perfect home for Kali to find himself again. A peaceful, private, and honest(deceptively so) abode for him to relax and heal in. It seemingly had the most perfect conditions. The only downside of the new arrangement would be that he's yet to shake off his loneliness. He's determined to get along with his new housemates, but it's proven to be hard, especially as half of them blatantly ignore him and the other half downright hate his mere presence. But who's to say the future won't change? Perhaps his clumsy, self-deprecating ways will finally garner him some much-needed attention. Maybe they'll see just how much he needs someone to stand by him, even if he happens to claim otherwise for pride's sake... Or suppose they could continue to ignore him until he stays forever stuck in his regrettable past. Kali doesn't want to think about the 'scumbag' he ran away from or the friends that hurt him. They didn't deserve his tears any more than he deserved the emotional turmoil he'd suffered through.

!~~~WSA 2026~~~! "A teachable moment. The fragility of life doesn’t care what you want, only what you can do. SkillSense simply shows you the truth of yourself, of what you are, and what you can become. And the truth, little one, is rarely kind." ——————————————————— This is the story of one man's Ascension to godhood and beyond. Magnus Barlowe: Cult Leader? He'd wish it wasn't so. But when he plays an obscure game and is the first ever person to complete it, he's rewarded, or punished, with the most unexpected skill. In this world, skills are managed and recorded through technology known as SkillSense, and the people of the world place a hierarchy on those with skills. Meaning: The higher your skills, the more people respect you. But the skill Magnus just earned, SSS-Rank Cult Management, is not only two levels above the max S-Rank, but is also a restricted and mostly unknown skill to the world. What has the world got in store for this reluctant man? Will he deny his destiny, or jump into the path of being a cult leader and not look back? Follow Magnus along his journey through the occult in this tale of mysteries! ——————————————————— Author's Notes: As you may know, I'm also the author of Reborn with a Necromancer System, which has been a blast to write, Fractured Horizon, a slightly futuristic fantasy/sci-fi novel about mutated human monsters and psychics that battle them (currently on hiatus to focus on my other novels and my life). I also wrote My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story, and I may get back to it one day. As long as you, my readers, are interested in this novel, I will continue to write it. Magnus's journey is capable of covering thousands of chapters across many years of his life. ——————————————————— Disclaimers/FAQ: 1. This story is set in a modern alternate Earth, where there is a technology that reads your best skills and reveals them to you. This is not a system novel, instead, the "system" is just a mathematical analysis of your skills that everyone has access to. But the MC is guided (not very gently sometimes) by the social media system known as SkillSphere occasionally. He is not a slave to it, but reluctantly follows it's suggestions for one reason or another. 2. There are no plans for a harem, or for multiple lovers over the course of the novel. The MC is a loyal, stick-to-one-person-at-a-time kind of guy. But don't worry, we won't suddenly see Magnus shift his entire personality just because he likes someone. He is who he is, and of course may change over a couple thousand chapters, but not in an instant. 3. This is not a cultivation novel, even if it has cult in its name. 4. Yes, the images and cover art in this novel are currently generated with A.I. This in no way impacts my writing, and if enough money is made from this novel, I plan to commission professional art for the title, characters, and some world building images. ——————————————————— Inspiration: The Steam game Cultist Simulator, was actually something of an inspiration for this novel. I played several dozens of hours, but always felt it needed something. I started working on a 3D alternate version of the video game to make it better, but it suddenly hit me that I could write a novel about a cult leader instead. I've watched and read several pieces of fiction with cults in them (quite difficult to find, honestly), and they usually grab my attention pretty well, and so here I am. ——————————————————— Support me, the Author: Please use coins/stones/golden tickets, or review my novel! And if you're feeling extra benevolent and want to help me turn writing into my full-time job so you can all read more from me, please share my novel or send me gifts with coins. Everything helps, and I can spend more time writing more chapters for you all to binge! If I were to win WSA 2026, you'd have me writing full-time for an entire year. Wish me luck!

Reborn as General Zod, who was about to be exiled after the failed coup, he was powerless to save Krypton from destruction. In order to change his fate of having his neck broken by Superman, the son of the DC Universe, in the future, Zod plans to find a place with the sun and live there peacefully. However, he didn't expect that the Myriad Worlds Roulette System would be activated at this time. At the beginning, he would obtain the complete inheritance of the Emperor's Scripture of the Holy Emperor of the Sun, and he could also obtain the number of roulette draws by triggering tasks. The first time he drew, he got the sunflower from Plants vs. Zombies. Even without solar radiation, he could still unlock the super talents of Kryptonians. So Zod decisively changed his goal. He planned to arrive on Earth in advance, retrieve the Codex of Life from Superman, use the Creation Chamber technology to mass-produce Kryptonians, and gradually rebuild a new Krypton. As he continued to complete tasks and gain more draws from the Wheel of All Worlds, Zod also gained more treasures and abilities. From the energy crystals that can give life to planets in Armor Hero Xingtian, to the seeds of the Tree of Life in Ultraman Orb, or the dimensional wall that can travel through parallel time and space at will in Kamen Rider Decade... He found the super Kryptonian Hale, defeated Superman, improved and upgraded the Kryptonian genes, and then he had a group of super Kryptonian warriors who had no weaknesses and were powerful enough to rival gods. From then on, the name of New Krypton resounded throughout the multiverse and even in all the heavens and worlds.

This is a Warhammer 40,000 fan-made story. While some timeline elements have been slightly adjusted for narrative purposes, the tone and spirit remain unmistakably Warhammer. Expect references to memes, historical events, and chaos-fueled absurdity woven into the drama of this universe. Li Feng, an ordinary college student studying in the US, thought he was just driving home with his quiet, gentle girlfriend Empress. But in the blink of an eye, a roaring warp vortex tore open before them and dragged Li Feng across reality itself, hurling him straight into the grim darkness of the forty-first millennium. And then came the real shock. His girlfriend was never human to begin with. She was a fragment of the Emperor’s soul, wandering the mortal world in disguise! ……… Stranded on a barren, war-torn planet with nothing but panic in his lungs, Li Feng found himself surrounded by a mob of bloodthirsty orks. Just when he was certain he was about to become green-skinned minced meat, a glowing panel materialized in front of him. A system? In the Warhammer universe? Maybe... just maybe... things were about to get interesting.

Years later, when Nabokov was lecturing on Russian literature in the United States, he proceeded in this way. In the pitch-black room, he first turned on a corner lamp and declared, "Pushkin is the first shining light of Russian literature." He then flicked on a central lamp and declared, "This is Gogol." He then turned on another lamp and declared, "This is Chekhov." Then, striding to the window, he forcefully ripped open the curtains, letting in the bright sunlight, and exclaimed, "This is Tolstoy!" After calming down for a moment, a student raised their hand and asked, "Professor, what about the sky outside?" "You know it without me telling you." Nabokov opened the window and gazed at the boundless sky: "The source of the modern world! Both spiritually and physically!" The immortal Mikhail Romanovich Raskolnikov! " Simplified version: Back to the winter of 1843 in Russia, Mikhail gradually became a Russian literary giant and even the spiritual leader of the entire European continent. This book is also known as: "The Years I Diagnosed Diseases in Russia", "You Don't Even Dare to Diagnose Diseases? Then You Are Not a Literary Giant!"

Paul has spent his entire life researching and finding the location of a genie rumored to grant wishes to humans such as himself. Tales are rare and often unverifiable. Almost all come with the information that the genie is as evil as imaginable. The motivation comes from the knowledge that one of his ancient blood relatives was cursed by the genie, tormented for the rest of his days in mental and physical anguish. Some members of the branch families believe this is a tall tale, an exaggeration, but Paul, being from the main family, holds this to be truth. It’s a long line of genie hunters. He doesn’t know if there are multiple genies out there, or if all of this is caused by one in particular. He has studied so many ancient languages, runes, cultures, and folklore that he’s gone crazy by the perception of any ordinary individual in society, and any claims he makes are no longer seen with the credibility they used to hold. One night, dark and cold, after a long day in the scorching desert sun, he stumbles upon a pitch-black room in a temple long forgotten. Paul meets him. The genie offers him the opportunity to make one wish. The genie is noticeably evil. Everything, including his mannerisms, his grin, down to the hairs on his head, screams this. He explains his only rules of engagement are as follows: 1) The laws of his existence necessitate that he can only grant one wish, and any result in trying to achieve the outcome of multiple wishes (e.g. wishing for more wishes or a compound wish) will void your original wish. 2) He cannot be impacted by his own magic. Paul, being a rational individual, suspects that he is lying, at least to some degree, if not blatantly. However, is it truly wise to attempt to break them to any regard at this moment? He understands from years of study that there are rules to the metaphysical. Much like gravity and inertia are laws of the physical. But such rules are almost impossible to verify without a personal lab rat, and this is not the place nor time. He is aware that the likelihood of ever organically encountering this genie again is incomprehensibly small, and after this encounter, the genie will vanish into the ether and appear who knows where, manifesting himself to prey again, without counterbalance. What should be done? What is your wish? Everything in life has led to this moment here. Is it all for not? Do you take the easy way out and minimize personal risk and try to leave with your life intact and unharmed, something not guaranteed? Or try to maximize personal gain, acquiring wealth and riches? Do you try to minimize the negative impact he might inflict on future victims? Perhaps, you may wish for something else?

What would you do if you had the chance to travel back in time? For the protagonist, Billy Carson, the day his father took him to see E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial in the movie theaters, he realized that maybe he wasn't in a fuzzy dream and maybe he was in a life that sent him with a system of suns, an art system, that will allow him to make history above the masses. I like anxious readers who question, I have some people who follow the story and because of them, I have learned a lot, if you are new, keep in mind that I am also new to writing, and I want to finish this story even if it has many errors, for all the stories unfinished. English is not my main language. But I do what I can, good day. this is my Patreon, I'm usually 20 chapters ahead, I hope you like this series, good day. patreon.com/vin_modeus12 (Disclaimer: Everything described in this series is science fiction)
