The Dark Mage Returns

Jessica Moran should have died. A near-fatal accident shattered her magic core, leaving her incapable of using magic ever again. But when she wakes, it’s not just her magic that’s missing—her memories are gone, too. She doesn’t remember the friends, enemies, or rivalries she once had. She doesn’t recall the lessons, customs, or expectations drilled into her since birth. Even her own family feels like strangers. The noble elite whisper that she lost her mind along with her magic. A broken girl, an embarrassment to her house, unworthy of the prestigious knight academy. But while Jessica doesn’t remember who she was… her body does. • Her reflexes are too sharp for someone who has barely held a sword. • Her instincts drive her to dodge before she even registers a threat. • And when she fights, it feels too familiar—too natural—like something buried deep inside her already knows how. Thrown into the Elite Class, not because she deserves it, but because no one knows what else to do with her, Jessica plays along. She doesn’t argue. She doesn’t fight the rumors. Because even she can’t explain why battle feels more like home than her own past. And somewhere—deep in the shattered remains of her lost memories—something waits.

The World's Number 1 Most Wanted Thief, the Black Cobra, an Egyptian youth specialized in ancient artifacts, was killed in an explosion he set up after being chased into a dead end in New York. Around his middle finger which he pointed at the face of every chaser from every world superpower, he carried the most prized item in the world, the Ring of Horus. When he kicked off life with a Bang! He returned with a lot of barf and vomit as poison was being cleansed of his body and a series of messages kept popping up. Long story short, he reincarnated into the body of Leon, an antagonist from a game he used to play and supposedly one who should already be dead. However, the Hunt for his Life never ended and he became the most wanted after reincarnation overnight. And there is System and Magic and Harem and Overpowered Oversmart Overcharismatic Hero who believes in gender equality and human's right to stay silent when he stabs them… good stuff, turly! (Author Note: The story tries to avoid the cliches and focuses on crime and politics. Not sure about titles with the same quality as this one but I take elements from the usual isekai and mash them with the Korean style characters and attention to details while avoiding the Chinese repetitive plots and the Japanese beta male leads. This is an Egyptian MC whom you have never seen any like before. He kisses babies and slaps bitches… or kisses bitches and slaps babies… depending on which day of the week it is. He's a mean guy and he knows kung fu. One time an author tried to write him in a novel, the novel almost absorbed the author and he went into a torturous isekai. What more can I say? Read it already!) -------------------------- Be sure to support on Patreon, I appreciate everyone there. And join our active community on Discord.

The word shattered, heaven's once ruler was thrown into deep hibernation. His power burst forth from his avatar and spread throughout the mortal plain, years later that same power took on the form of Regalia and humanity was 'blessed'. For the first time in millennia, angel's descended upon the mortal plain to warn humanity, "The power bequeathed to thee is but a simple gift from thy divine lord. Thou must never use thine power for evil or else humanity shall be destroyed." The angel's deceived humanity in attempt to hide the state of their lord. Humanity used the new energy and power to develop their technology incredibly fast. They created entire islands, enhanced space travel, and within just a hundred years... They had even captured a star. However, humanity was still a curious species riddled with sin, over the hundred years of development humanity learned to revolutionise war... Regalia energy increased the physical capabilities of mortals dependent on their aptitude with it. Many humans had begun to discard the need for guns as simply, they became too slow. Humanity had regressed in a way, back to killing each other face to face in bouts with swords and other weaponry.
