Dane Phantom

Synopsis Detective Elias Mercer, known as ‘Mercy’ for his angelic demeanor, hides a mind as sharp as a blade and a heart as cold as the cases he solves. A former journalist framed and cast out, he now walks the thin line between justice and obsession, unraveling the city’s darkest secrets one case at a time. When Adrian Holt, a man seemingly swallowed by the shadows, vanishes without a trace, Elias is dragged into a mystery far deeper than he anticipated. His only lead? Evelyn Drake—a woman who speaks in riddles and keeps secrets like currency. As Elias peels back the layers of deception, a familiar name resurfaces from his past: Nathaniel Voss, a phantom figure lurking behind countless crimes, always just out of reach. With each step forward, the case tightens around him, drawing him into a web of corruption, fear, and a truth far more sinister than murder. The deeper Elias digs, the more he realizes—some ghosts aren’t meant to be found, and some truths are buried for a reason. But Elias Mercer doesn’t believe in walking away. And this time, the darkness is watching back.

=== WSA 2025 === Way, way, and very way before I was even born, my world was invaded. Actually, not just my world, my entire damn universe was overrun by another, led by a single race that called themselves the Eternals. And they were prepared. Very prepared. Every life we lost in the war against them was used by them. They didn’t just kill people, they captured their souls, forged them into Phantoms, and used the souls to twist beasts into Abominations. Our dead became their army. Three hundred years later, I was born. A guy with way too much energy. Sitting still? Impossible. Taking it slow? Not happening. I was always moving, always ready to burst into action. Then I awakened, and got a talent too. My Talent's Name Was Generator. Because of it I never ran out of energy. Ever. My muscles? Supercharged. My healing? Faster. My stamina? Please, I had no idea what being tired even felt like. So if the universe wanted to throw an endless war at me? Fine. I’d throw everything I had right back. I wasn’t born a hero. Never wanted to be one. But this war? It wasn’t just my universe’s fight anymore. It was mine. The Eternals made sure of that when they took my parents' souls.

Cradled by self-ness, a new-born God came forth. The god, perceived as a phantom, wept as tears dripped across the waters. Thus came about its phantom heart. The weeping spirit, a solitary, god that could create anything with its right mind. However, there lay a message that told it one thing; Kill the Light. An unease built inside its heart. A dead thing, not even an echo that reached any god, nor creature alive. If not, then what was the God meant for? What else was needed of him? Thus, he wandered, days upon days, until he met a single, decrepit woman. The first contact he had since over a thousand years. -------- Discord: discord.gg/7NcJYeTUbV

Now reborn in Primordial Abyss with a glitched class that lets him control dungeon bosses, he doesn’t grind levels… he grinds players. Every monster he subjugates fights for him. Every raid boss he enslaves generates passive income. And every overconfident guild that steps into his domain? They drop loot when they die. From the shadows, Adrian turns dungeons into PvP traps and builds a hidden empire—one corpse at a time. But as whispers of the Dungeon Phantom spread, top guilds, studio-backed assassins, and corporate players start to take notice. Too bad they don’t realize: The real dungeon isn’t the game. It’s the one they’re walking into. Let the hunt begin.

Dane Harper's life was a monotonous grind. Stuck in a soul-sucking 9-to-9 job with barely any time to breathe, his only escape was the world of visual novels. From anime to manga, light novels to webnovels, Dane had consumed it all, but nothing compared to his ultimate obsession: Harem, Dragons, and Deities (HDXD). This legendary visual novel was a masterpiece of high fantasy, packed with detailed lore, jaw-dropping twists, and, of course, an insane harem of monster girls and powerful women. Dane had spent nearly 7,000 hours playing it, chasing every ending possible, especially the legendary [Overlord of Humanity Ending], where the protagonist builds a massive harem and spreads his superior genes across the HDXD universe. But when a cosmic accident caused by a mischievous witch-in-training, Beatrice, wipes out the entire human universe, Dane's life takes an unexpected turn. As the first soul to be reincarnated, Dane is offered two wishes by Beatrice: a world of his choosing and a fragment of her power. Without hesitation, Dane chooses the world of HDXD, a place he knows inside and out, and a unique ability to help him survive: the Omni Harem System. This system not only helps him level up and gain unique powers but also guides him in building the ultimate harem. Now, reborn as some random extra of this hellish game, Dane is ready to live out his wildest fantasies. His life goal, walk over the MC, and replace him... But this isn't just a game anymore; it's real life, and the stakes are higher than ever. From battling dragons and deities to navigating the complex personalities of the women around him, Dane must use his knowledge of HDXD and his new powers to carve out his destiny without getting curve stomp by the overpowered people around him. But let's be real, becoming the Overlord of Humanity isn’t going to be a walk in the park. This is HDXD we’re talking about; a world where one wrong move can lead to a bad ending so messed up it'll haunt your dreams. As such, every step towards that ending requires heart, commitment, and sheer will, and you best believe Dane is aiming for that ending at all costs.

In a world of celestial sects, hidden realms, and ruthless clans, our nameless protagonist was born into obscurity, destined for an ordinary life—until fate intervened. Armed with an evolving growth-type ability, the mysterious Divine Hand that can bypass any restriction, and an unshakable will, he embarks on a journey that will shake the foundations of the world. But power comes at a cost. His greatest strength—the ability to create clones—comes with unpredictable quirks. Each clone inherits a random trait, from greed to gluttony, laziness to flirtation, ensuring that every heist, every mission, is filled with chaos and comedy. Alongside him is the Ice Empress, a peerless beauty with an icy demeanor that melts only for him. Though her noble background frowns upon their connection, she remains unwavering, much to the dismay of those who see him as unworthy. Her affection—blatant and relentless—causes no end of trouble, especially when she freezes entire battlefields just to protect him. Then there’s Fatty Zhu, his perverted, money-loving companion. With a knack for infiltration, an insatiable greed, and an uncanny ability to scam even the richest clans, he stumbles from one misadventure to another. Though he avoids trouble when it doesn’t promise profit, his comedic suffering—especially at the hands of beautiful women—knows no bounds. Together, they navigate a world of ancient ruins, divine treasures, and celestial conspiracies, outwitting scheming sects, infuriating powerful families, and pulling off legendary heists that become the stuff of myth. But as the protagonist’s power grows, so do the enemies lurking in the shadows. Will he remain a phantom thief forever, or is he destined for something greater—something beyond the Dao itself?
