Ascendance Of A Bookworm Light Novel

Synopsis: In a world torn by ceaseless wars and ruled by dark ambitions, Lysian Valthor once stood as a ruler of light and shadow, commanding a powerful kingdom and the loyalty of countless subjects. His rise to power was built on manipulation, ruthlessness, and an unyielding desire to reshape the world. But his hubris led him to a tragic fall, and in his final moments, he found himself cast back into the past, regressed into the fragile body of a child. Now, as a mere shadow of his former self, Lysian wakes in a world that seems both familiar and foreign. His mind retains the memories of his past life, the knowledge of power, manipulation, and war. But his body is weak, vulnerable—his former strength nothing more than a distant echo. The mysterious Duality of Fate system, a strange force that has now become part of him, gives him both guidance and a constant reminder of his past choices. However, Lysian has no desire for immortality or eternal life. His only goal is survival—and revenge. The continent of Varema, once a land of potential, is now a fragmented battleground. King Valthor Skaar of Vahlan, a cruel and oppressive ruler, reigns with iron fists, while to the south, the undead Emperor Galoth of Sardis uses necromancy to fuel his unyielding army. Hidden in the shadows are factions that manipulate others for their own twisted desires, all vying for control and power. Lysian must now navigate this brutal world, relying on his intelligence and manipulation to outwit his enemies. Despite the fragility of his new form, he is far from powerless. With the knowledge of his previous life, Lysian begins to rebuild himself, carefully weaving his way through the web of power struggles that define Varema. Each move he makes is calculated, each alliance fragile, and each betrayal closer than he can anticipate. But the greatest threat Lysian faces is not just the world around him. It is the fate that binds him, the forces beyond his control that seem determined to shape him into something he no longer wishes to be. His past life was a cycle of ambition and downfall, but this time, Lysian will not let fate dictate his future. "Regressor of Light Son: Bound by Fate, Reborn in Shadows" is a story of ambition, manipulation, and survival in a world where every decision could lead to destruction. Lysian’s journey is one of dark strategy and power as he seeks to rewrite the rules of the world and escape the chains of destiny that have shackled him for far too long.

Shadowed Ascendance: The Forbidden System (SA:TFS) follows the journey of Reziel Blackwood, a lowborn orphan whose life takes a drastic turn when he accidentally becomes bound to a mysterious and malevolent system known only as “The Forbidden System.” Initially weak and overlooked by a world that values noble titles and magical bloodlines, Reziel soon discovers that the system’s power grows by feeding on darker energies—ambition, desire, and even conflict. Though each forbidden ability grants him new strengths, it also tests his moral limits, blurring the line between hero and villain. Surviving in an empire teeming with magical academies, dangerous beasts, and hidden conspiracies, Reziel is thrust into a life of constant trials.
