Putting trust into a stranger is a very risky move, but when you have no other choice, maybe it is not the worst idea out there.

Roland was a young man who loved reading we novels, one day as he was doing work at home, he died off exhaustion and was then given a second chance at life. But…is it worth it? Why not stay dead and never reincarnate…Why indulge yourself in needless tragedy and trauma?.

a hero is born but a villain is made. We all hate villains right, but are they worth our hatred, are they worth rejection? The answer is they are not. People hate villains but I love them. Have you ever seen a villain protecting a person and burning the world for them? Me neither but I heard it's delusional. And I love delusions.

Going against the corrupted world, the General had succeeded in what he’d set out to do. With every enemy beaten, all obstacles cleared, and his soul drenched in blood, he stared at the blue sky and sighed. He regretted it all. Everything. It wasn’t worth it. He wasn’t happy. Staring at the corpses of everyone he’d killed in the recent battle. He only felt deathly emptiness. Why did I kill them… I could’ve just let some live… He thought he was tired before the battle, but now he was truly drained. None of it meant anything. It was over though. The war over. The battle finished. And his time was done. If he had tried as hard as he could in the earlier battle, maybe he could’ve survived this, if he decided to, maybe he could stay alive. But it was too late. There was no point. He had done it before. He’s survived against all odds and even against greater things, he’s powered through it all. But no. It wasn’t worth it. He was better off dead. So he allowed it. And it was over. The fool was dead, but someone nameless into another world would not be. Authors Note: Not a wish fulfillment story. I just wanna make something half decent at this point.

If you wish to undertake the book and appreciate the story, please read it up till chapter 300s to understand the sudden twist in chapter 100s. i will admit that during that time, I am still a young budding author and could have expressed the story better in the early hundred chapters. But I assure you the story development is worth it. ----------- Discord channel: https://discord.gg/KkUXzjTKf9 If you have some spare change, please buy me a coffee: https://ko-fi.com/moloxiv

On the first day, Luo Feng went broke and had to go back home. In order to make ends meet, he began to collect trash from house to house. Unexpectedly, he happened to bind the "Treasure Prompter" system. "Ding! There are gallstones in the stomach of the sick cow of the butcher ahead, commonly known as cow treasure, worth 6 million." "Ding! 10 meters ahead, the paper on the wall of the old lady's house is a painting by Tang Bohu, worth 300 million." "Ding! 100 meters ahead, the abandoned whetstone is imperial green jade, worth 1 billion." "Ding! 1000 meters ahead, the woodcutting knife in the woodcutter's hand is a Xizhou's bronze sword, worth 2.5 billion." "Ding! 10,000 meters ahead, the stone that the child hit the water is a Martian meteorite, worth 8.8 billion!" "Since I have this system, who can still see me as a trash collector?" "I am a treasure hunter disguised as a trash collector!" On the first day, Luo Feng passed by the door of a rural quadrangle and saw a child smashing spades with a four-sided object. He went up to pick it up and found that the words "commanded by heaven, both longevity, and eternal prosperity" were engraved on the bottom. "Ding! The child smashing walnuts in front of the house!

In the year 3147 the Roman Imperium had finally achieved its goal of colonizing its own corner of the galaxy. Unlike in our own world the Rome of this one never fell, but instead grew to encompass the whole of the earth, and overtime spread itself, and humanity, among the stars. Yet even with the marvelous advancements in technology, healthcare, welfare, and every other category required for a thriving society. There is still one roman tradition that refuses to die. GLADIATORS!! And we should all be glad for it, because during the year 3149, just two years after the long and exhausting colonization campaigns were ended, mankind learned that it was not alone in the galaxy, let alone the universe. It had just stepped onto a much bigger stage where entire planets and even star systems were used as bargaining chips in universal gladiator games. Wars on a galactic scale are far too destructive to simply be allowed, if left unchecked the vast majority of life in the universe would cease to be. Therefore each race recognized by the galactic or universal council (it changes depending on the scale of the race itself) must submit champions or gladiators to represent them in the games. The winners gain unfathomable rewards, the losers perish or worse have their entire species enslaved. Please join our hero as he embarks upon his own perilous journey as a lanista, will he rise above the masses, or fall like so many others before him? Or perhaps his own latent gifts may bring him to a height, or depth hitherto unexplored by any before.

this "book" is just for fun, where I will asked 1 question per chapter. sometimes philosophical, sometimes stupid questions, and sometimes just random shit. you can answer and also asked questions in the comments.

A young man with a bright future ahead of him gets run over by a talking train, and is sent into a mystical, fantasy world filled to the centimeter with anything a man can think of. Uniquely interesting individuals to meet, grand locations to explore, and strange societies, with underlying mysteries awaiting to be explored. However... a good protagonist is always aided by an equally noteworthy, and possibly bizarre, cast of acquaintances. *** Tags: [Realism], [Isekai], [Cynical], [Dark], and [Slow-paced] (Or so I've been told). Disclaimers: 1. In spite of what Randall (the MC) says at the start, it is NOT a harem. 2. I will also shift POVs (and provide a clarification) whenever I consider it's worth it. However, the spotlight will be on the MC most of the time. 3. The MC starts off overpowered, but that will change after Chapter 40. I don't really like OP MCs too much. 4. Please read the first 3 chapters to decide whether it's worth reading. Finally, this is also my first time publishing a novel, so I hope it's not too bad. (PS: Cover is AI made.) PSS: Currently in hiatus (didn't know how to put it)
