Arcane Jarah Aurel

In the year 2025, Ankush Halder, a struggling mechanical engineering student at Jadavpur University, finds himself at a crossroads. With three backlogs and placement season looming, his future looks bleak. But when he wakes up one morning, he is no longer in the world he once knew. Instead, he has transmigrated five years into the past, to a version of Earth where the world underwent a monumental shift in 1950—an interdimensional invasion that expanded the planet 100 times in size, dividing nations with ferocious monster-infested forests and forcing humanity into an era of magic, dungeons, and awakened abilities. Now an 18-year-old high school student in this altered timeline, Ankush must navigate a society where power is everything, and one’s talent and attributes determine their fate. With the Awakening Exam as the first major hurdle, he quickly realizes the fundamental shift in human intelligence and education. The system that once rewarded hard work is now rigged against the weak, with the wealthy hoarding resources, attribute-enhancing fruits, and talents to dominate the playing field. Armed with the knowledge of his previous life and an engineer’s analytical mind, Ankush refuses to be just another powerless commoner. In the Pre-Awakening Exam, he surpasses all limits, answering 600 questions—an unheard-of feat—but is expelled before anyone learns of his achievement. Branded as an average failure, he now enters the Awakening Dungeon, where he must forge his own path, unlock his true profession, and rise beyond the limitations of the system itself. Will his knowledge from modern engineering and science give him an edge in this magic-infused world? Can he survive in a world where power is dictated by talent and bloodline? In a world where monsters, dungeons, and professions determine one's fate, Ankush Halder is ready to change the game.

In the celestial expanse, the planet of Osiris hangs like a luminous opal, suspended amidst the starry tapestry by the silken threads of fate. This world, a marvel of wonder, is home to nine realms, each governed by godlike monarchs who wield powers both mystical and mysterious. The royal bloodlines of Osiris possess a prestigious gift – the ability to harness the power of Quantum Energy. This arcane force, a manifestation of the cosmos' inherent majesty, courses through the veins of the nobility like liquid starlight. Those who wield this power are known as Warlocks or Quantum Kinetics, and they are the epitome of esoteric prowess, their abilities rivaled only by the celestial bodies that light the firmament. Yet the star-kissed realms of Osiris tremble on the cusp of cataclysm, the Shadow Terrestrials, ancient harbingers of darkness and despair, stir from their celestial slumber, their malevolent presence threatening to unleash unfathomable chaos. Against this apocalyptic backdrop, the monarchs of the nine realms convene at the Glazier Ball, a dazzling spectacle of wonder and majesty, where the fate of the luminous Daughter of Light hangs precariously in the balance, a delicate pawn in a grand game of power, mystery and ancient lore, as the realms themselves teeter on the brink of oblivion.

Year 2035. A groundbreaking game—"Glory Lords: Arcane War"—takes the world by storm. With cutting-edge VR immersion, players can feel the pulse of magic, the tremors of battle, and the weight of every decision. But more than just a game, it becomes the ultimate stage for global esports. Elite teams rise, billion-dollar prize pools emerge, and the entire world is swept into the frenzy. But for Ethan Parker, this isn’t just a game. It’s a gamble with fate itself. Las Vegas. Midnight. A secret high-stakes game. On the table lies the world’s only Legendary-tier artifact—the Stone of Glory. Its value? Far beyond a billion dollars. Because hidden within it is a secret—one that can rewrite the very rules of reality. Ethan bets everything. And loses. In that moment, he doesn’t just lose the artifact—he loses his future. Then, the world changes. The game and reality merge. Earth is no longer the world it once was. Society collapses, replaced by a brutal new order where a person’s rank in "Glory Lords: Arcane War" determines their status in real life. The strongest players become kings. The weakest? Slaves. And the one who won the Stone of Glory—Griffin Musk—rises to absolute power, ruling over this new world as its supreme leader. As for Ethan? Once the #1 player in the world, he loses everything—his account, his status, his freedom. Reduced to the lowest class, he suffers, tortured until his final breath. But now—he’s back. Reborn with the memories of his past life, he returns to the moment it all began. This time, he wins the gamble. This time, he won’t let the world fall into Griffin’s hands. But fate has more in store for him… When he logs into the game, he realizes something is off. Not only is he the first player in the world to own private territory, but he also acquires something unheard of—the only Legendary-tier unit in existence: the Green Dragon. And then—something even more shocking. These two Green Dragons aren’t just powerful units. They’re heroes. With growth potential and combat abilities surpassing even top-tier players, they have the power to change the course of the entire game. At that moment, Ethan knows—his path to the top has begun. But the real world isn’t done with him yet. Governments, military forces, corporate giants, secret organizations—and even Griffin himself—are now watching his every move. This time, it’s not just about revenge. This time, he’s taking control of the future. The war of heroes has only just begun…

For centuries, magic shaped the world—building empires, forging legends, and defining the balance of power. But now, the arcane fades, its strength waning as technology rises to take its place. Ancient spells are forgotten, enchanted relics turn to dust, and the last sorcerers struggle to hold onto a power that no longer belongs in this world. Amid the chaos of war and oppression, Ronan Vale, a warrior once betrayed, seeks vengeance. But his journey for retribution leads him to a far greater truth—one that ties his fate to a dying magic and the relentless march of progress. As warlords and rulers embrace the new age of steel and machines, Ronan must choose: cling to the past, or carve a future where neither magic nor technology alone decides the fate of humanity. In a world where gods have fallen silent, sorcery is breathing its last, and war machines dominate the battlefield, Ronan stands at the crossroads of history. Will he be the final witness to magic’s demise, or the force that reshapes destiny itself? The age of magic is over. The age of iron has begun.

Torn from immortality and cast into a fragile mortal shell, a once-feared warlord awakens in a decaying city ruled by crime syndicates and zealots. Though weak, he is not powerless—for he remembers the arcane Paths of Inscription and the art of Engraving refinement. A mysterious whisper calls to him, tempting him with the promise of restoration. But this time, he will not merely reclaim his former might—he will transcend it. From the shadows, through blood and schemes, he will carve his name into the very fabric of reality. ‎ ‎The cycle turns once more. The tyrant shall rise again.

In the fog-choked city of Blackgrave, where towering spires claw at the heavens and whispers of the arcane slither through the gaslit streets, Jonathan Aldcroft is a man who seeks knowledge beyond the bounds of mortal understanding. A scholar of the forbidden, he has spent years unearthing occult secrets, dismissing the superstitions of lesser minds. But when he discovers the Obscured Codex, a book spoken of only in fragmented myths, he soon realizes that some knowledge does not wish to be known—it wishes to know him. The moment he reads his own name within its shifting pages, he becomes marked, watched by something lurking beyond comprehension. Now, as the fog thickens around Blackgrave and figures with too many joints watch from the shadows, Jonathan must race to uncover the truth behind the Codex. But the more he learns, the more he understands the terrible cost of knowledge. The book is not merely a record of the unknown—it is a gate, and something on the other side has begun to read him in turn.

The past is not set in stone. Neither is her future. For centuries, the Arcane Accord has erased Arcanists from existence—mages capable of bending reality itself. Their names were forgotten. Their power outlawed. Their legacy buried. Aria Moonshadow should have been lost to time. Born from two forbidden bloodlines—a mother who shouldn’t exist and a Demon Lord feared by all—she was never meant to awaken her magic. But when an ancient artifact whispers her name, the System presents her with a choice: remain bound to the fate others designed for her… or become an Arcanist. She chooses power. Now, the world hunts her. The magic within her is unstable, unnatural—hungry. Shadows move at her command, echoes of the past call to her, and something ancient stirs in her blood. Hunted for what she is, Aria must uncover the truth of her lineage and the secrets of the System itself before history is rewritten—and she is erased from it forever.

The world changed in 2020 when a dark tower appeared, offering unimaginable riches and power.

Stuck at rock bottom, his life was cut short, his final moments filled with regret. Until… [You have been chosen by the Limit Breaker System.] [Unlike others, you have no rank cap. Your potential is limitless.] [Every time you surpass your limit, you will receive an SSS-Rank Trait.] [This requires a stage of regression.] [Initiating regression… Turning back time 10 years...] Given a second chance, Kael will break through his limits, defy fate, and climb to the top—no matter the cost.

After being hit by a truck, I found myself in a fantasy world as a hybrid between human and bunny in my favourite novel, The Murder Bunny Is Actually Cute. Since I was a noble and there were no discrimination against non-humans in this world, I actually settled in nicely.

You would think that would be the worst of it, but I awakened a system that gave me Anti-World Destruction Missions to save the world from other hidden Villainous in the event the true Villainous was unable to destroy the world.
