System Of The Unread

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

He woke up as no one, just an outer disciple in a sect that barely noticed his name. Yet behind his calm gaze lingered something different… something wrong. Whispers began to echo inside his mind. A strange system appeared, offering him power, knowledge, and something deeper... something he couldn’t quite grasp. While others chase glory and immortality, he plays a different game... quiet schemes, subtle moves, and shadows that shift when no one is watching. But questions haunt him. What are these dreams that refuse to fade? Why do memories flicker like distant echoes? And why does the scent of blood feel so familiar? And the most important question of all… Who is he, really?

Sixteen-year-old Lior Ahn is a soft-spoken prodigy with eyes like midnight skies and a beauty so surreal people often mistake him for a celestial being. Born in a modest home and living a quiet life, Lior has one dream—to become the greatest neurologist the world has ever seen. But in a world where connections and money decide everything, his dream seems lightyears away—until one strange afternoon, a mysterious voice echoes in his mind. > [SYSTEM INITIATED: Neurological Ascension Program Activated.] [Mission: Become the #1 Neurologist in the World.] From anatomy downloads and diagnostic simulations to live surgeries in virtual space, the system gives him access to knowledge that could take lifetimes to acquire. But the most unexpected development is his encounter with Renji Vale, a cold, enigmatic CEO of ValeTech Global, the world’s most influential biotech company. Renji has everything—money, power, beauty—and a hidden pain that only someone like Lior can understand. Their worlds are incompatible. Their paths were never meant to cross. But sometimes fate rewires the brain—and the heart.

Betrayed. Crippled. Left for dead. Genius Riven Kael is reborn five years in the past — with a system that rewards manipulation and revenge. He’s not here to forgive. He’s here to destroy everyone who wronged him.

Hyung Fyi was never meant to exist — yet he rose beyond system, logic, and even the author himself. With the Ω∞D System, infinite magic, and the power to overwrite reality, he becomes the one thing fiction fears: > The final rewrite. But when he meets Thea Heesae, a forgotten girl trapped by erasure, everything changes. Her emotions can rewrite timelines, and her survival defies fate itself. As gods fall, authors break, and reality bends, Hyung Fyi walks the path of the ultimate sovereign... But at the edge of all stories stands Kyusugi Tyo — the Ω Reversal. A villain who was never meant to exist. Unwritable. Unstoppable. The final enemy even the book couldn’t erase. Now, fiction itself will collapse in a battle between the one who rewrites... And the one who can’t be written.

In Arcadia, power is determined by one thing — your Awakening. For Leon Graves, the verdict was final: F-Rank Necromancer. Weakest class. Lowest rank. A joke to the world. He lost everything that day — the respect of his peers, the promise of a hunter's future, and even the loyalty of his best friend. Left with nothing but shame, poverty, and a dying mother he couldn’t afford to save, Leon was supposed to fade into the slums of Armathor. But fate had other plans. That night, a glowing blue screen appeared before him: [Zombie Lord System Activated] Unlike the normal hunter systems, this one let him raise the dead — not as mindless puppets, but as evolving warriors with real strength, real tactics... and real loyalty. “F-Rank? I’ll show you what a real rank looks like.” Thrown into a brutal world of dungeon tests, corrupted guilds, and dimensional rifts, Leon doesn’t just fight to survive — he fights to rise. Because when the world discards you, you don’t beg for a seat at the table. You build your own army and take the damn throne.

[The System has arrived on your habitable planet, known as ‘Earth.’] [In five seconds, monsters from countless realms will invade Earth.] [Remaining Time: 5 seconds.] [You can now view your attributes, talents, abilities, and skills by simply thinking about them.] [Kill monsters, and you might survive.] “Monsters?” Damian’s breathing quickened as the pain in his chest grew sharper. On the day of the Awakening, humanity was forced to defend against an invasion of countless monsters from the towers that connected realms across the multiverse. While billions of people died helplessly, billions more seized the opportunities hidden behind the horrors spilling out of the gates. Leveling up, growing stronger, awakening talents, learning supernatural skills, changing one's very race, and even achieving immortality all became possibilities. But for Damian, who was suffering from a sickness that would kill him within a few years, the Awakening was a curse. While other humans awakened powerful talents, hunted monsters, and evolved, Damian remained talentless, a liability and a burden the awakened had to carry. Damian never wanted to be seen as weak or useless, but what could he do? He was dying. If only he had awakened a talent or at least possessed a stronger body, he might have been able to level up and cure his sickness. But he couldn’t. All that would change when a mysterious figure set him on a path that would lead him to his true destiny. Witness the rise of a warrior who would make countless men tremble in fear. Witness the rise of a monster who would force every race, every being, and every existence to kneel. Witness the rise of the Champion.

One moment, he was a nobody, and the next, he woke up in a world where your worth is literally in your veins. This isn't some land of opportunity; it's a brutal world where dragon bloodlines decided everything. And Rin? He's got just enough of that precious blood to make him a target,to be laughed at, exploited, or simply crushed underfoot. But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humor.

Rin isn't here to save anyone, and there are no do-overs. To claw his way up, he'll have to be admired. To get stronger, he'll have to be feared. And to rule? He'll have to embrace the very monster they whisper about in the shadows. He's not here for glory; he's here to take it all.He is here to become the strongest creature in the world

After a tragic accident—Arthur's life comes to an abrupt end. But death is not the end. In a mysterious twist of fate, he awakens in another parallel world… in a body that mirrors his own. Same face. Same name. A parallel universe. But this world is completely different from what he knows. What was meant to be a second chance like in any novel stories, turns into a bitter struggle, for the soul that originally occupied the body is still alive—and he's not willing to surrender. "I won’t give up my body to someone else. I’ve suffered every day of my life, clawed my way through agony and despair—and now you expect me to vanish? Like I never existed?" The voice is filled with fury. "I’ll claim the system. I’ll seize this world. If fate dares to be cruel to me, I’ll return the favor—with no mercy." Two souls. One body. A world that rewards power and punishes weakness. As destiny spirals into chaos, the question becomes clear: Who will reign?

> The System doesn’t offer rewards. It records your sins. When Kai wakes up in a corpse pit, there’s only one message blinking in his vision: [Welcome to the Sin Log System.] [Mission 1: Confess what you did to deserve this.] No power-ups. No levels. No mercy. Every action he takes—every lie, betrayal, or violent act—is carved into his soul. The only way forward is through punishment. And the more he tries to survive, the more the System remembers… things Kai swore he never did. But the worst part? The missions don’t come from the System. They come from the people he hurt—whether he remembers them or not. --- In a world where memory is currency and guilt is power, Kai must uncover who he really was… before the System erases who he’s becoming. Will he earn redemption— or become the villain in someone else’s story forever?

Caelen, a 15-year-old orphan labeled “Gemless” for his weak mana, dreams only of surviving the Guild’s brutal entrance exam. But when a ruin’s collapse awakens the Nephalem system—a forbidden power fused with the AI spirit of his ancestor Zorak—Caelen becomes something more: half-angel, half-demon, marked by Vanta black and Lotus pink energies that could make him the Guild’s greatest asset or its deadliest target.Guided by Zorak’s cryptic warnings, Caelen hides his dual nature at the Guild Academy, where magical prodigies like the fire-wielding Kael mock his “weakness,” and the celestial devotee Lysa senses his secret.

I'm using this as a hobby so no promises of consistent uploads or a set release schedule. and I do apologize but I'm open to criticism just don't be a complete jerk about it. currently AI is being used to format text, flesh out content such as dialog or connecting plot points together. I'm feeding it my ideas for arcs,character bios and descriptions, power ideas, world building ideas, and short stories I make or summaries of arcs/characters etc... and then taking what it gives me as a Draft. if I can't find problems with it and it's true to what I wanted I upload it here, this is a rather long process as I'm not paying for any particular AI and I'm learning how to write full stories or arcs outside of just plot ideas. so I'm learning with it. hopefully it doesn't take long but if there is continuity problems or grammatical errors, or inconsistencies please let me know I will do what I can to fix it. just can't promise a time frame on it. I thank you for your time and patience and I hope this no matter how rocky it starts, it turns into something pretty neat. even if I have to release another book and scrap this version due to so many rewrites or fixing. depending how deep it goes. Thank you everyone and I'm looking forward to where this will be in time.
