Is The Hero For Real

He awoke—but the world had moved on without him. The song of birds. The hush of rain. His mother’s reassuring smile—all vanished. In their place: silence. A familiar world, now distant. Hollow. Unwelcoming. But the night before, he dreamed. A path had unfolded in the depths of his mind—fractured, perilous, shaped by memory and sin. In that dreamscape, he glimpsed trials of flesh, of heart... and of forgotten truths. Now, a question lingers in the waking world: If he can navigate the twisted field of his own mind— If he can reclaim what was lost... Will it free him? Or will it unleash something far darker? In a world governed by sin-born power, watched by divine remnants, and manipulated by forces beyond creation— This is the journey of the Pale Heir.

I closed my eyes and let out a shuddering breath. My fingers were numb and cold, my arm aching where the needle pierced the vein. Something clattered onto the pavement, and I looked down to see the needle. It had slipped out of my hand. Nothingness swirled around me, bringing the first sense of peace I'd felt in my short, miserable life. There was no one to miss me, and no one I would miss. There's always someone else to beat or rape. The regulars would move on quickly. I died. Only...wasn't death supposed to be dark? And since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods?

Leon was your typical guy, perceived as weak in his school because his skills hadn't awakened, even though they usually did at the coming of age. He attended the prestigious Milham's Magic Knight Academy, where snagging the top spot meant automatic entry into the esteemed position of a Magic Knight in the country. Unfortunately, Leon found himself in the lower caste, labeled the most useless student. To top it off, he was tossed into a class that served as a sanctuary for oddballs and delinquents. Yet, he couldn't care less, as becoming a Magic Knight wasn't his goal. Everything shifted when he crossed paths with Shredica, a woman hell-bent on becoming a Magic Knight at any cost. Observing Leon's lack of ambition and his apparent detachment from the academy's pursuits, Shredica saw an opportunity. She decided to exploit him as a pawn in her ascent through the academy's hierarchy. Yet, unbeknownst to Shredica, Leon was not the complacent, unremarkable figure she presumed him to be. *** Join the discord! https://discord.gg/gt4CDGkpEM

He died. Then woke up somewhere worse. --- A truck hit him. That much he remembers. But when he opened his eyes, he wasn’t in heaven, hell, or a hospital. He was somewhere else. A world that looked like Earth — but twisted. Stretched. Echoing. Where the moon never sets, and the night sky hums with a sound that isn’t sound. Where people lock their doors and say nothing about what happens after dark. Where every step feels like a mistake, and every corner hides something that knows your name. He doesn’t have powers. He doesn’t even remember his name. Only a broken sword, an uneasy companion, and the sick feeling that this world doesn’t want him alive. And yet… when he fights — Something responds. The stars twitch. The sky listens. And the ground seems to remember who he used to be. This isn’t a story about leveling up. This is a story about not dying before you understand what’s going on. --- Welcome to the night. Don’t look up.

On a bright Tuesday morning, a monster was born. Or perhaps... a demon? The sound of a newborn's cry tore through the sterile halls of the hospital, piercing the quiet like a curse. Lights above flickered violently, reacting to the sudden surge of electricity that pulsed through the building—unexplained, and oh-so-absolutely unsettling. “Liu Xian…” the mother whispered, her voice barely a breath, her eyelids fluttering as darkness pulled at her. But she fought it, clinging to life for just one reason—to name the child that had stolen her last breath. Her lips trembled into a faint smile. “We’ll call him Liu Xian…” Her hand reached out weakly, trembling as it brushed the tiny bundle swaddled in white—then fell, limp, lifeless, against the blood-soaked sheets. The father stood frozen, cradling the child in arms that didn’t feel like his own. His wife’s blood still clung to the infant’s skin, seeping into the fabric of his clothes like a brand. “You killed her,” he choked out, the words barely audible, not meant for anyone but the darkness in his heart. He looked down at the baby, eyes brimming with a twisted mix of grief, hate and rage. “You fucking killed her, you monster!" _______ There will be daily updates, and for every 5 golden tickets, I'll upload one extra chapter.

--- : A War Beyond Meaning Before Reality had a name. Before even Time dared to move forward— There was only Somewhere. A realm beyond comprehension, vast and alien to all things. In this incomprehensible void, a cosmic war raged between two forces: Existence:NOTHINGNESS and the Unknown. This was no ordinary battle. It defied logic, defied order, defied even the laws of contradiction. Blows were struck not with weapons, but with meanings. Each side, infinite and paradoxical, tore at each other with everything they were. And at its climax, something happened. They broke each other. Both wounded beyond repair, Existence:NOTHINGNESS and the Unknown collapsed. The war paused—not ended, merely delayed. It would return, someday, when the stars were right and the cosmos once again stirred with dread anticipation. Until then… EXIN, the embodiment of Existence:NOTHINGNESS, must recover. He must prepare. Before his wounds drag him into dormancy, before he is lost to timeless sleep—he must arrange something. But what? Even the author does not know yet. And that is why you must keep reading. --- Edited with chatgpt

In 2020, a friend of mine at the time recommended a manhwa called "Tomb Raider King," and currently, I’m following several with an academy theme, 70% of which have been abandoned (please don’t leave me, "The Extra’s Academy Survival Guide"). That’s why I wanted something similar — so I could read without the fear of it being canceled or going on permanent hiatus because its creator has to do military service or is being exploited at work. Obviously, a novel isn’t the same as a manhwa, but I don’t care (just like having a cover made with AI).

A soul never meant to exist has slipped through the cracks of the divine, forged in secret by Gaia herself—a fusion of every essence, from the divine to the damned. It wasn’t supposed to survive. But one accidental slip by the soul weavers sent it crashing to Earth… right into the womb of a human woman. Years later, in a world unaware of its ticking time bomb, a child is born beneath storm-split skies. What was meant to be the beginning of a normal life becomes the spark that could end all existence.

Guo Miao, the national treasure of the Empire, committed suicide after completing a certain grand project. Everyone had theories about her motives, but no one was aware that she was a reincarnation and had simply ended her own life because there was nothing left for her to do. She did not expect to reincarnate back to her past life when she discovered that she was the Guo family's real rich daughter. In her last life, she did not turn down her parents who came for her, only to find that her decision left her in the abyss. Not only did her parents play favorites, but their fake rich daughter was also ruthless, framing her for a murder and isolating her, then leaving her to rot in jail while her stepfather died from depression. Now that she had reincarnated, she no longer sought familial warmth—only survival for the sake of those who truly loved her and to live her life! She earned countless honors and innumerable scientific discoveries by turning over a new leaf. Everyone who used to belittle her now regretted life, bawling as they begged for her patents. She coldly watched as they humiliated themselves and snapped at them icily: Dream on! In this secular world, she was the goddess to all and the most coveted person of every rich kid in the Imperial Capital. A certain man: The proudest thing I've done in my life is winning her love!

I'm willing to go even if I can't bear to leave my parents... just promise to let me visit them from time to time, okay?"The fake rich daugthter's words made Bai Lin suffer even more scorn, with the internet flaming her and her family distancing themselves.
