"Reincarnation? Rebirth? Regression?" A hollow laugh slipped past my lips. "What bullshit." Reincarnated on earth after his first death. Reborn again only to lose everything he died once again. Julian desired freedom, unable to resist the terror of the seven devils trying to dominate the world. Julian regressed a week before the special Full-World Virtual MMORPG game, Avalon's Fall, was released and changed the fate of humankind. Julian was given another chance to live. The new VR UNIT gave players a more realistic experience. Inside the game, the players could touch, taste and smell things like the real world. Although the creator remained a mystery, Julian knew its true purpose: to evolve, improve, and prepare humankind for war against an insidious foe. Seven Devils would soon descend on Earth, causing the game world and reality to merge, and the first devil would appear in less than a month after his regression. 'Humanity cannot last longer than a decade, more than 90% will die in a year.' Julian's heart pounded like a hammer—two failed lives under his belt. Now he would face the same Devil who stole everything he ever loved or cared about with a single swing of its gigantic sword. But this time would be different... Somehow, after being blessed by the goddess Solaria, he gained a unique class and evolutionary path that differed from what he knew. He somehow entered the game world, after the devils destroyed it. A realm of nightmare where death was almost certain! [◊ Welcome to Avalon—After the Fall! ◊] [◊ Class Gained: Shadow Mancer (SSSR) ◊] [◊ To the heir of shadows who returned to this fallen kingdom ◊] [◊ Raise your fallen kin and take back your world! ◊] 'What?' No longer the same class or type of evolved he became a mage-type, summoning the souls of the dead to create shadow minions. Despite his confusion, Julian focused on the future... he wouldn't let Sena die, or lose everything like the past and thus he set forth, aiming to kill the first Devil. Little did he know that his title carried a significant meaning and one day, he would stand above those who ruined his past, and define their fates.

The world underwent a drastic transformation with the emergence of dimensional gates, portals leading to realms teeming with monsters. In response, humanity awakened mana, granting individuals unique powers determined by their genetics. While the potency of these abilities varied, everyone possessed the potential for growth through rigorous training. Faced with the constant threat of monstrous incursions, humans began training those with superpowers, effectively creating a new class of superheroes. The allure of celebrity and heroism attracted many, but the prospect of wielding power for nefarious purposes drew an equally significant number of villains. Amidst this chaos of superheroes, villains, monsters, and the mysterious origins of the dimensional gates, lived Jay Carter. Orphaned at the age of five, he was adopted into a family that already had a daughter. Unfortunately, he endured neglect and abuse from his adoptive parents. His stepsister, Amara, however, offered him unwavering support and care. The situation deteriorated further when Amara became one of the first in the Carter family to awaken mana, revealing extraordinary superpowers. Jay was relegated to the role of an outcast, overshadowed and ignored. Frustration simmered within him, fueled by years of parental neglect and physical and verbal abuse. However, his life took a dramatic turn when he, too, awakened his powers – powers far more sinister than anyone anticipated. Jay possessed the ability to steal and enhance the powers of others. Unlike his peers, he wasn't limited to a single ability; he could acquire and wield multiple powers. Furthermore, he was not constrained by his initial ability grade; he could continuously steal superior abilities or upgrade his existing ones. This extraordinary power came with a dark caveat: he could only acquire new abilities by killing others and devouring their mana core!

“Let there be light. And there was light.” I give grass to the sheep and strength to the horse; to the day I hand over the darkness, and to the clouds I command that they pour their waters. The Leviathan, whose breath ignites coals and whose power iron cannot withstand, a beast that drags the seas with its fury; begs to serve me. From my blood, I laid the foundations of the world; from the clay, I formed man said to him: “Be fruitful and multiply.” Behold, the One who uproots and who plants, who gives and who takes away. But now, the world I shaped trembles. The order I commanded wavers. Who dares to defy the Almighty? ____ This isn’t a biblical story, but a novel clearly inspired by it, but it’s not a religious text! No offense intended! Sandbox novel.

Hunter Academy Online: A game that became famous in a span of few months. My friend told me to give it a try and play the game. He was so annoying about it that I finally decided to give it a try. It was the biggest mistake of my life. Why, you say? Because I got transmigrated into this game, that I barely started. The good news: I already know the storyline thanks to the gameplays I watched. The bad news: I was reincarnated as an extra. **************** Here is my discord link. https://discord.gg/MuVRaSuZ
