Conqueror'S Path

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage—a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was clearly off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger. [Title Earned: Background Character.] [Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.] [New Skill Acquired: Background Character's Aura.] [New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.] I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones. Let the protagonists play their scripted roles—I have my own path to power.

Li Xian was just an ordinary young man from a small, nameless village—until one night, everything changed. His village was destroyed by ferocious beasts from a chaotic rift. His family died. His homeland vanished. He lived… but only for revenge. On the brink of death and maddened by suffering, Li Xian discovered a forbidden crystal: the Chaos Core, a combined element of all essences, which could only be obtained by enduring pain beyond human limits. Now, with uncontrollable power and a heart that has frozen over, Li Xian steps into the cultivation world as a neutral existence—sometimes saving, sometimes slaughtering, all depending on who is most worthy of being exploited. In a world controlled by hypocritical sects and intriguing clans, one thing is certain: If you stand in my way, no matter who you are—I will destroy you. From bloody sect tournaments, clan betrayals, to the secrets of the heavens and the destruction of the mortal world, Li Xian will write his own destiny… with blood.

In a realm where destiny is etched in spirit roots and power flows through ancient bloodlines, Kai Arden was born a void. With no talent, no cultivation path, and no future, he faced only silent indifference—his gaze never daring to challenge the heavens. Until the day they tried to kill him. Vanishing into the abyss beneath Ironshade Town, where reality itself frays, Kai awakens something primordial: a formless, black book. Silent. Wordless. Uncreated. This forbidden artifact unveils a path no sect dares teach and no empire tolerates: the path of a Creator. Kai will not gather Qi or hone techniques. Instead, he will observe, comprehend, and build—a world, a law, a cosmos–born step by step from the void within. In a realm dominated by five tyrannical empires, ancient regressors, and crowned geniuses, Kai does not follow. He listens. He waits, He learns, And as his nascent cosmos begins to breathe inside him, even the heavens themselves will come to fear the silent one who builds. "Heroes die for others. Villains die for themselves. I do not die. I create".

Santiaga Denero was born cursed—plagued by misfortune that dragged him through a life of betrayal, humiliation, and relentless suffering. Heroes turned their backs. Fate offered no mercy. But buried deep within him was the cause: a demonic parasite, feeding on his pain since birth. With a promise of power, he became one with the parasite. Now awakened and bound to a corrupted version of the system once reserved for heroes, Santiaga no longer seeks justice or redemption. He wants vengeance—and he’ll burn the world to get it. > Every laugh. Every lie. Every smiling face that watched him suffer– will be crushed beneath his heel. As kingdoms tremble and guilds vanish in his wake, someone watches from the shadows. A beautiful woman in white. A smile on her lips. And blood in her eyes. Enter his world. Follow his path. But be warned—this is no hero’s journey. _____ Dark Fantasy | Anti-Hero | Psychopath MC | Twisted Romance | Villain Protagonist 1 - 3 chapters a day

Synopsis: The Supreme World Conqueror The story begins with Don Adraels, the youngest son of an Earl in the turbulent Helimdor Region, who, on his wedding night, awakens a dormant ancestral power known as the Black Flame. This volatile force grants him absolute will, strategic insight, and devastating magical abilities. With his fiery-haired bride, the powerful battle-mage Caria Thornf, at his side, Don embarks on a brutal campaign to consolidate power in the south, transforming their arranged marriage into a fearsome partnership forged in fire and power. Don's rise is swift and relentless. In a series of cunning military campaigns, he systematically defeats the rival earldoms of Helimdor, culminating in a decisive war against the ruthless Earl Ekarvel Tidor and his unseen, terrifying ally, the Pale Wraith. Don and his unified forces not only shatter Tidor’s legions and conquer his volcanic fortress of Emberstone, but they also find a way to break the Wraith’s mind-bending power, proving the Archduke's dominance over both flesh and spirit. With Helimdor unified, Don begins building his empire. He secures the allegiance of the south’s great houses—Griffor, Aetheria, and the vengeful remnants of Hailch—not just through conquest, but through a series of strategic marriages. Each of his queens—Caria (Consort of Flame), Callara (the Iron Queen of the Mountains), Marell (the serene Sky Weaver), and Serina (the Queen of Vengeance)—brings a unique power and loyalty forged in a unique intimacy with Don. Their diverse magical and martial abilities, amplified by his Black Flame, become the pillars of the new Obsidian Court. Don formally declares himself Archduke of Helimdor, establishing Emberstone as his capital and launching ambitious projects to build a self-sufficient dominion. He establishes a War Academy, a Grand Magisterium for arcane research, and, with the help of Lady Marell and Earl Dornel Hailch, forges a secret trade route to bypass the Crown’s royal blockade. This rapid ascent draws the jealous ire of Crown Prince Strelm, who orchestrates a shadow war from the capital, Erydon. He first sends a spy, who is covertly assassinated by Don's spymaster, Leinara Veyeb, now transformed into the chilling commander of the Black Blades. When a blockade fails, the Crown resorts to a new tactic: a highly public duel of honor. A renowned champion, Sir Gareth Solara from the noble House Solara, is sent to challenge Don's claim and legitimacy in single combat. Now, with the eyes of the entire kingdom upon him, the Archduke of Helimdor must prove that his power is a force of legitimacy, honor, and unstoppable will, ready to either be recognized as a sovereign ruler or plunge the kingdom into the massive civil war he has been building toward.

In a world beyond worlds, far removed from the concepts of time and space, there exists a mysterious tree. Seven friends encounter this tree after a series of unfortunate events, resulting in their deaths. Now, they are fated to be reborn over and over again, bound by a System they know little about. This is their story, a tale of tragedy, overcoming impossible odds, and surmounting mortality...

After a tragic accident that claimed the lives of his parents and little sister, Leo, just 17 years old, found himself shouldering all responsibilities alone. By some miracle, he survived the past four months on his own—attending high school, juggling multiple part-time jobs, and enduring sympathetic gazes that pained him. The only respite he found was in books, which offered him an escape and some semblance of joy. One day, while engrossed in the book 'Path of Heroes: Battle Against the End,' his life took an unexpected turn. Halfway through the story, he inexplicably found himself transmigrated into the world of Path of Heroes, inhabiting the body of Azriel Crimson—a character never mentioned in the story's first half. An extra. Someone seemingly irrelevant to the plot. Unfortunately—or perhaps fortunately—fate had other plans, and Leo soon discovered that being a mere extra was not his destiny after all. -------------------------------------- Character illustrations will be available on Discord.

There exists a chief astronomer on Earth who not only wants to explore the stars, but to also discover and connect with what dwells beyond them. Unfortunately, in search of the heavens, Astra Sera has failed to identify with the natural. She has failed to connect with something that makes her truly human. Then, as it seems like the heavens themselves granted her wish, Astra is torn from her world and cast into a futuristic world born through the remnants of divinity. Demigods work unseen, constellations lie silently through the depths of space, and ancient magical kingdoms rise in the shadow of mysterious beings. Even in this world touched by the heavens, human nature still remains untouched. Infinite Celestial power shimmers in the air like stardust, but the souls that wield it remain haunted by threats of mutation and insanity. Like a cruel joke, the very world that Astra dreamt for fractures her sense of identity as she risks corruption from her newfound powers. This is the legend—a mythos—of how humans wish to become gods, while gods wish to seek the specialness of humanity.

Obsessive pro gamer Riyo Takahashi—known as ‘Mr. Unreadable’ over the gaming community, used to indulge himself in the pleasure of BR games. After being persuaded by his childhood friend, he decided to play a certain Virtual World MMORPG which became overhyped after the latest 2.7 patch update—especially when the powerful NxGEN Engine took over its servers. However, when Riyo Takahashi began his new journey in the virtual fantasy of Arcana Dynasty Chronicles—ADC for short, he soon found that there had been an interception, preventing him from ever logging out. While the other players deliberately could log in or out, he remained stuck in the game. Instead of falling apart, he decided—no matter what— he would get back to his real world. However, with countless mysteries hidden within the virtual world—massive secret quests, unexpected rewards, and a Rank-Up System tied to an exclusive cheat skill—Riyo set out on his path to conquest. Whether it was limited-time Chronicle Events, Dynastic Singularity quests, or the Ultimate Conqueror Contest, he was determined to complete anything and everything. All to find his friends—who were far ahead of him in the same game—and return to IRL as quickly as possible. ◦•●◉✿◉●•◦ Additional Tags ◦•●◉✿◉●•◦ #LitRPG #FullDrive #Summoning #Beast Taming #Magic #Dragons #Elves #Demons #Spirits(Seraphylls) #Necromancy #Demons #Sorcerer #VRMMORPG #Spirit Beast Contract #Evolution #Angels #No Yuri #No NTR ◦•●◉✿◉●•◦◦•●◉✿◉●•◦ Become a Realmwalker by joing the diacord server: https://discord.gg/eh65svRfg8 ◦•●◉✿◉●•◦◦•●◉✿◉●•◦ ❖❖❖❖❖❖ 【 Alternative Name➣ MMORPG: Rise of The Fallen Heir】 ❖❖❖❖❖

He destroyed her kingdom. Now he wants her heart. Taken as a concubine by the ruthless King Malek—known for razing realms with his god-like powers—Seraya swore she’d never bow. But the more she resists, the more obsessed he becomes. In a palace of jealous rivals and deadly secrets, Seraya must survive his obsession, outwit his enemies… and guard her heart before it’s claimed completely. Because soon, she’ll discover exactly why they call him the Conqueror— and what becomes of those who dare to defy him. -Enemies to Lovers -Tyrant King x Captive Princess -Palace Intrigue -Soul-bonded Fates Teaser Preview: Seraya didn’t look back. King Malek watched her disappear beyond the hedges, striding away purposefully, not allowing her pride on full display. Interesting. He stood in the garden’s center, arms loosely folded, pulse annoyingly fast. A part of him—cold and calculating—should’ve left by now. Should’ve called a guard to escort her, reminded himself she was just another unwilling offering from a conquered land. But the rest of him, the darker, quieter part… was intrigued. She was different. Most women fell over themselves trying to please him. Some wept. Some flattered. Others performed needlessly grand gestures to gain his notice. But Seraya? She hid under tables and looked at him like he was something less than impressive. Like he was just another guard with nothing to offer her. It was maddening. And strangely refreshing. Malek sat back down on the same cushion she’d just vacated, still warm from her body, her scent lingering faintly—honeysuckle and sun-warmed linen. This, he thought. This is the scent that has been evading him the past few weeks. He’d gotten lingering traces of it at times when he’d enter a room, but it was always a ghost of a scent. At times it had lingered around that little red headed concubine, Jane or something. She was decent in bed, eager for sure. But not what he wanted. Lying in bed afterwards, her true scent came out—apples and ivy, and left him feeling empty. What had first intrigued him had been an illusion. But he knew it existed somewhere in the palace. He’d felt like a bloodhound the past few weeks searching for its true owner. Of course it belonged to the little vixen who has been avoiding the king like the plague. He took another deep inhale. His hand drifted to the spot where her fingers had curled into the edge of the cushion. He let out a breath and chuckled softly to himself. “You really don’t know, do you?” he murmured to the empty garden. She hadn’t recognized him. Not without the crown, the robes, the ring of soldiers and desperate concubines. And gods, that made it even better. It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him without fear or flattery. She hadn’t lied to protect herself. She didn’t pander. She just was. Honest. Guarded, yes, but there had been a spark behind her eyes. A fire buried beneath the survival instincts. He’d seen it. Felt it. She hated him. And it thrilled him. He leaned his head back against the stone wall and closed his eyes, letting the filtered sunlight wash over his face. This garden had always been a quiet place, but now it felt… alive. Perhaps because for once, he didn’t have to be the king. He could be Lex—just a man in training clothes. Just a shadow on the edge of her world. And she had let him in, just a little. “She thinks I’m charming,” he mused aloud, a smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. “Poor girl.” He wouldn’t reveal himself yet. No, not until she was well and truly tangled. Until she wanted him—and hated herself for it. Until she looked at Lex the way all the others looked at Malek… and realized too late that they were the same man. But it wouldn’t be easy. She was flame wrapped in thorns. And if he reached too fast, too hard, she’d cut him before she burned him. He liked that. He hadn't meant to linger. A quiet moment int he library-that's all he wanted. But instead he found something better than peace. A challenge.

When Travis's life has hit bottom and he accidently falls down below the bridge, Travis is sent to the Abyss, a place between places. And he meets Arael, The Goddess of death.

He reluctantly agrees and finds that He is then reincarnated to a new family as Kota Detrut. Author note: First novel I’ve done, Really wanted to make my own take on that Isekai trope some of those anime do, but I wanted to do it in a way where it doesn’t melt into the power trip fantasy. There will still be updates to older chapters or auxiliary chapters to be up to date. Feedback on chapters or giving a reviews would be appreciated! (I will now be uploading to Royal Road as well for this Novel! So see you all soon!)

5000 years. That was how long it took Jian Jiu Yue to rise above the cultivators and have his go at Heavenly Ascension. But alas, it wasn't the Heavens who denied him of the opportunity, but rather, the countless enemies he had made over his 5000 years of plight. 5000 years, to only die on a nameless title and cursed by millions to come. How could I, Jian Jiu Yue let it happen? On a rainy night and mountain pit that reeked of blood, a lone figure could be seen. "From today on, there is no Jian Jiu Yue, only Nai Tian Ning!"

In a world ruled by bloodlines and bound by fate, a boy with no power dares to defy destiny itself. The world of Ensei is dying—rotting beneath the weight of ancient kingdoms, godlike rulers, and the corruption of Shinmei, the life-force that once united all things. Once accessible to all, Shinmei has become the domain of the elite, its secrets locked behind noble names and inherited blood. In the quiet town of Shizuhara, Lynx—a sharp-tongued street rat with a restless heart—knows this truth better than anyone. Born into a powerless lineage, mocked by his peers, and told he'll never control Shinmei, Lynx has spent his life chasing a dream everyone insists he’ll never reach. Until one night, lost in a fog-covered forest, Lynx meets a woman who should not exist. A Transcendent. A god in human form. She asks him a simple question: “What do you wish for most?” Lynx answers with a truth he's never dared to speak aloud: “To destroy the world.” So begins his descent into the unknown—a path of spirits and monsters, broken gods and buried truths. Armed with nothing but his rage, a fractured destiny, and a power he was never meant to wield, Lynx will challenge the foundations of Ensei itself. This is not a story of heroes. This is the story of a boy who becomes a vessel of change—whether the world is ready or not.
