Ladder Piercing

Life always seemed to be working against me. I grew up in a tight-knit but struggling household, crammed into a damp apartment where every drip from the ceiling echoed our hardships. School became my beacon of hope—my way out. But fate wasn’t kind. I lost a crucial scholarship to someone from a wealthier background. They didn’t need it, but their connections tipped the scales. Unable to keep up with the crushing costs of college, I left. I took up managing a karaoke bar to support my family and kept telling myself that someday, things would get better. Then, everything shifted on a random evening. As I walked home, I was completely engrossed in a webnovel I loved: A Magician's Path. In that world, magical prowess determined your entire social standing. That’s when it happened—a car hit me. I thought that was it for me. Yet, I woke up somewhere else. I found myself inside the very universe of the story I’d been reading. A glowing interface hovered before me, identifying me as Dominic Eñerforte—just a 15-year-old boy. He had no mana whatsoever but boasted near-superhuman levels of luck and instinct. This world was called Sylvestria, where life revolved entirely around magic. With no mana, I was already at the bottom of the ladder. However, I had one edge: I knew how events in this world were supposed to unfold. Magic wasn’t everything—I could still shape my destiny. I’d always believed in the power of perseverance, and now I had an opportunity to test that belief in a world where dreams and nightmares collided.

One night, in an attempt to climb the social ladder, she enters the wrong room and flirts with the wrong man... Later, the man leisurely takes off his glasses, his smile lazy and spread wide: 'A delivered blessing, why not take it?' Hearing rumors that Fu Yan is a powerless illegitimate child in the Fu family, coupled with a childhood sweetheart as his first love, Sheng Congzhi proposes a divorce. Fu Yan responds: 'Divorce is out of the question; as for the technical issues, we can always practice more.' A week later, Sheng Congzhi publicly declares her love for a top male celebrity in a love reality show. The internet explodes with searches, and Fu Yan is metaphorically green with envy. Another week passes and at the love reality show set— 'Welcome, the standby male guest…' The man appears on camera with a lazy posture, his lips slightly tilted, his gaze playful, and his demeanor a blend of casual and rebellious. Sheng Congzhi's surprise makes her drop her cup. Someone asks curiously: 'Do you know him?' Sheng Congzhi: 'I don’t know…' That night, she is dragged into a room and pressed against a wall by a hand. 'You don’t recognize your husband anymore?' a deep voice resonates by her ear, Fu Yan stares at her vibrant face, 'Wife.'

An Hao leaped, thinking she had died, but to her surprise, when she opened her eyes, she found herself back in the year 1985. To live a second life, did she have to endure the abuse of her stepmother and stepsister again, the dislike of her mother-in-law and disdain from her sister-in-law, and the betrayal of her best friend who bravely became the other woman just to slap her in the face and climb the social ladder? Was she supposed to end her miserable life in poverty again? An Hao's answer was, "Eat! Shit! No!" She was determined to make something of herself, to get rich by capitalizing on her knowledge and aim for a well-off life. This time around, she was going to be the protective big sister who reformed her worthless little brother who had died a wretched death, and the virtuous wife to make up for her past neglect of her husband! She wouldn't let this life go to waste in despair! A malicious best friend? Coveting her man? Not a chance! Go hang out wherever it's cool! Cough cough, how did she not realize in her past life that this "Stoic King of Hell" was so indecent. Decent? You've had your fill of decency during the day.

I died in an explosion—a betrayal engineered by the man I trusted most. But instead of the end, I woke up in a new body. A noblewoman’s body. Evelina, disgraced and hated, accused of poisoning the Crown Prince of a kingdom where werewolves rule the land. And worse? The man whose life I supposedly tried to end is now my fated mate. Damian, the Crown Prince, is as cold as the moonlight that binds us, his piercing silver eyes filled with distrust every time they land on me. He doesn’t believe my innocence, and frankly, I don’t care. My only priority is survival in this dangerous, medieval world—and figuring out why fate decided to shove me into the life of a traitor. But the longer I’m near Damian, the harder it is to ignore the pull between us—the undeniable heat of the mate bond that makes his touch electric and his presence intoxicating. Enemies lurk in the shadows, including the woman who thinks she should be his Luna. Court intrigue spirals out of control, and the person behind Evelina’s betrayal might be closer than I realize. Damian’s trust is my only shield, but when the truth of my transmigration comes to light, I’m not sure even that will be enough to save me. Because in this world, it’s not love that conquers all—it’s power. And mine might not be enough.

Keith, a regular office worker from Earth, suddenly transmigrates to the world of the novel he had been reading for the past decade. The new world, which was also called Earth, was slightly different. People with various powers existed who were called awakeners, making this world comparatively dangerous and also mysterious. While he was thrown into the novel's world, he was also given a mystical ability to grant systems to other people. Armed with his special ability, he slowly climbs up the power ladder by taking "taxes" from the people he would give systems to. The only question that remained, was what would a realistic normal man, when faced with a similar minded protagonist, do when their goals opposed each other.
