The Old Barrel Tattoo

When the creatures advanced, the world was doomed to oblivion. Only ruins of cities and lost souls remained, struggling to survive the inevitable. However, Cosmic Energy brought with it a gift as enigmatic as it was dangerous: a power capable of saving the last survivors or condemning them for good. Dante never wanted to be a hero. Trained by his parents to face a future that crumbled before it arrived, he learned that survival requires more than courage – it demands sacrifice. Now, thrust into the Capital with the enigmatic warning *don’t be the protagonist*, he finds himself at the center of a conflict larger than he ever imagined, where ancient secrets and relentless enemies test his every step. Amid improbable alliances and desperate battles, Dante will need to uncover the true cost of survival. And as he explores the limits of a world he no longer recognizes, he will learn that the greatest challenge isn’t fighting the creatures that devastated Earth. In a game where salvation and destruction are just a step apart, Dante will have to decide not only how to fight – but what to fight for. Follow the story of one who had never tasted victory before.

"Look, if I survive this, I’m writing a self-help book: 'How to Get Beat Up by Immortal Women and Still Look Cool.' Bestseller material, right?" Taro Mikami, a 24-year-old otaku drowning in overdue rent and rejected job applications, never imagined his life could get worse — until he’s summoned to the magical world of Aerthos as its prophesied "Tamer Hero." Tasked with taming the Old Gods — immensely powerful elemental deities who have abandoned humanity — Taro quickly realizes he’s in over his head. Each Old God is a woman of unparalleled beauty and unyielding stubbornness, ruling over their chaotic domains of Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, Light, and Darkness. They hold centuries of grudges against mortals and are anything but eager to accept Taro as their savior. Armed only with his wit, determination, and a mysterious crest on his hand, Taro must prove himself worthy of their trust — and maybe survive their tempers along the way. But taming the Old Gods is only half the battle. An ancient organization, the Shattered Order, lurks in the shadows, seeking to enslave the deities and plunge the world into total ruin. With Aerthos on the brink of collapse, Taro must unite the goddesses, master their powers, and confront his own insecurities to forge a bond strong enough to save both gods and mortals alike.

{Check out my new novel, Misunderstood Villain: Heroines Mourn My Death} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero. Villain.} *Expect this novel to start slowly; it begins ramping up at the halfway point of volume 1. *The Magic System is introduced at the end of volume 1, read my review and Auxiliary chapter for more on that. *Warning: The main characters have emotions like proper humans. So don't expect your usual emo kid as the MC and come complaining later.
