Elias Varn was a man who lived for knowledge. From a young age, he read everything he could-psychology, neuroscience, history, physics, chemistry, and more. He was fascinated by the human mind, especially manipulation and deception. Lying was second nature to him, and he enjoyed controlling people by lying and emotional manipulation. But life has his own demands as he was from a middle class family. So under family pressure, he chose physics as his career, his second favorite subject after psychology. His intelligence led him to become an astrophysicist, focused on gravity, dark matter, and the nature of the universe. His goal was to create a Unified Theory that could explain everything. One day, he made a breakthrough-**Ultra-Condensed Graviton Stimulation (UCGS)**, a method to manipulate gravity itself. But his experiment went out of control, creating an artificial black hole. Before he could stop it, he was pulled in, disappearing without a trace. When he woke up, he was no longer in his lab. The air was thick and unfamiliar, the sky was different, and the sounds around him were nothing like Earth. But the biggest shock was his own body-it wasn't his. His hands, his face, even his heartbeat felt strange. And then the pain came-a flood of memories that weren't his, forcing their way into his mind. Elias quickly realized the truth: he was in another world. Somehow, he had been transported to a completely different reality, inside a body that wasn't his own. He didn't know how or why, but one thing was certain-his mind was still the same. He still had his intelligence, his knowledge, and his ability to manipulate. Now, in this unknown world, he would do what he had always done-study, adapt, and take control. But this world had its own rules, its own dangers. And Elias Varn was ready to learn them all.

New trope (please try it, rewritten on 24.01.2024): Micheal von Shelb, a lazy genius with a penchant for offbeat inventions, wakes up to a brutal truth: he’s a side character in a multiverse of twisted romantic dramas where his family, future children, and even his legacy are casually erased by power-hungry authors. With Magda, his intelligent and no-nonsense wife (who’s also a supporting character in a “switched at birth” melodrama), Micheal vows to save their lives, protect their future, and rebuild the Empire through innovation and sheer audacity. Whether he's dodging political plots, perfecting horseless carriages, or making alliances with beastmen, Micheal has one goal: to carve a space where he and Magda can thrive, far from the claws of a cruel narrative. But the fate has other plans. As ancient rivalries between archmages, devils, and mythical creatures like mermaids resurface, Micheal’s quiet dream spirals into chaos. With wit sharper than a rapier and an unstoppable resolve, Micheal proves that even a side character can rewrite the script. Between inventing futuristic solutions and saving the day, Micheal’s true mission is impressing Magda, who may or may not be secretly stalking him from the foyer. Meanwhile, Micheal himself adjusts his routine to catch glimpses of Magda while pretending not to care. An average day in their life: 1:00 PM: Magda: “I must be punctual to observe my husband training in the garden—from my foyer, of course.” 1:15 PM: Micheal: “Must finish the training early to sneak a peek at my wife reading in her study—from the dining hall window. Definitely not creepy.” With its blend of humor, heartfelt romance, and action-packed multiverse chaos, Breaking the Multiverse is a read for those who enjoy clever protagonists, daring inventions, and a relationship that's equal parts banter and devotion—NO HAREM, just one unforgettable wife. The first volume is for the general audience, the second volume is for people who prefer to sip wine as they read. You can start reading from the second volume of you find the first volume too boring. ----- There are three couples: ML (genius, stalker) x FL (prodigy, stalker) 2ML (soldier) x 2FL (knight) 3ML (soldier) x 3FL (a court lady)

'Hmmmm...so I just have to witness the skill being used to copy it...then I can evolve this skill ten times it's initial power?' Nox was skeptical as he looked at the screen flickering on his retina. I mean, how was something so insane even possible? Copying a skill itself was very bad-assed, and you mean to say he could evolved the copied Skill ten times it's initial power, exponentially surpassing the original owner?
