My Civil Servant Life Reborn In A Strange World

Reborn as the Iron Queen: Love and Gunpowder in the Civil War

21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant

For most, transmigrating into a fantasy world is the start of an epic adventure—wielding legendary weapons, gaining overpowered abilities, and living a life of grandeur. For our protagonist, however, it’s nothing but a bureaucratic nightmare. One moment, he was a burnt-out office worker finishing reports at midnight, and the next, he found himself inside Pinnacle of Mysteries, a cutthroat RPG infamous for its merciless difficulty. Worse, he’s not a hero, a villain, or even a major character—just an unknown captive on the verge of execution. To survive, he strikes an unlikely bargain with an ancient, forgotten being: the Lord of the Forgotten Abyss—a calamity sealed away long before the game's timeline even begins. Their pact grants him power, but it comes with a maddening catch: the Abyss Lord, for now, manifests as an overly proud fox with a tendency to give cryptic advice and demand extravagant meals. Navigating this world is far from easy. Powerful factions rule with an iron grip, and the forces of fate seem determined to shove him into the path of disasters. To make matters worse, he soon realizes that reality diverges from the game in ways he never expected. Events happen too early, key figures behave unpredictably, and unknown forces manipulate the world from the shadows. The storylines he once memorized? Useless. The safe zones? Now battlegrounds. The villainous factions? More fractured and cunning than they ever were in the game. As he struggles to piece together his place in this world, he finds himself entangled with figures who should be far beyond his reach. Yet, these are just the beginning of his troubles. The game’s hidden routes, thought to be mere flavour text by players, hold dark truths about the world's foundations. The Gods who shaped civilization have grown silent, and something ancient and hungry stirs beneath reality. Meanwhile, the villains he once dismissed as mere bosses—criminal lords, rogue sorcerers, and exiled royals—are beginning to notice him. Some want him dead, some want to use him, and some… some whisper that he may be exactly what they’ve been waiting for. Faced with conspiracies, betrayals, and relentless pursuit, he must navigate treacherous political landscapes, outwit enemies far beyond his level, and keep his not-so-helpful abyssal fox companion from making things worse. But as he delves deeper, one question haunts him: Did he truly transmigrate into the game he knew? Or was Pinnacle of Mysteries always something far, far greater? The Lord of Villains Is Just an Ordinary Civil Servant is a tale of deception, survival, and the absurdity of bureaucracy in a world where power reigns supreme. In a place where fate is written in blood and magic, he will have to carve out his own path—whether that means being a hero, a villain, or something else entirely. But really, all he wants is a stable job, a decent salary, and a way to avoid getting stabbed every other day. Unfortunately, fate has other plans.

Reborn in another world as a Hermaphrodite

There was once an innocent little boy who was about to graduate high school. But suddenly, a truck ran him over before he could step foot in adult life. From his cruel twist of fate, he learns that after a person dies, they simply go to a result screen—a simple score system based on how publicly known they are. Being the nobody, he only had enough points to use the wheel spin—three shots that would determine his upcoming life. The wheel first landed on females, crushing his hope of keeping his gender. But he wasn't just going to give up so easily as the male section remained. The next spin didn't land on what he hoped for. With one last shot, he slammed the button and prayed. A miracle, almost as if god answered his prayer, appeared right before his eyes as it landed on a male. "Thank you, god! I knew you'd never give up on me like that——Wait, what do you mean that's a bug?" Before he could say anything, he was reborn into a fantasy world where magic and cultivation coexist. Want to find out what he got for his upcoming adventure? Well, let's just say he experiences the three stages of grief with his awful luck. --- Disclaimer: Some of the love interests are related to the main character, and the main character's love interests are only towards women. Four chapters a week. The upload schedule may be a little wacky, and no bonus chapter for now as I'm still currently in college.

GENETIC CIVILIZATION

The Failed Experiment The void stretched endlessly, an abyss of swirling darkness where neither time nor space held meaning. Within this infinite emptiness, a single entity drifted— a formless mass of energy, barely clinging to existence. His name was Orion Graves. Or, at least, that was the name given to him before he was discarded like a failed experiment. The Forbidden Project Deep within the hidden research facilities of Earth's Goddesses, a secret project was underway—one that could shatter the fragile balance of the universe. For centuries, humanity had pushed the limits of genetic evolution, seeking the perfect Evolver—one who could transcend all limitations, wield power beyond comprehension, and tip the scales in their favor. But the Ancient Order, the silent executioners of the universe's balance, had long ensured that no single civilization could dominate. The Goddesses—War, Fate, and AllMother—had defied this law. They sought to create an Evolver that was not bound by the restrictions of standard evolution—a being that could rewrite reality itself. The result? A forbidden physique that even they did not fully understand. But something went wrong. Orion was a failure. Unlike Earth's Top 100 Unique Talents or even other average humans, whose Inner Worlds flourished with mighty Core Civilizations, Orion's Inner World was a barren wasteland—lifeless, devoid of potential. His Core Civilization, the Nameless Abyss, was deemed worthless, a void with no future. The Goddesses had no choice. The project was abandoned, the research base hidden away from prying eyes. But the universe had already taken notice and it will never allow a threat. The Fall of the Research Base The attack came suddenly. A coalition of civilizations, fearing what the Goddesses had attempted, launched an all-out assault on the secret facility. Even the Ancient Order remained silent, allowing the destruction to unfold. The Goddesses, who couldn't protect an ant like existence while fighting made a desperate decision. They activated a space wormhole, sending Orion into the void before the facility was destroyed. It was an act of defiance and hope—a gamble that one day, this failed experiment might become something greater and useful. As he was swallowed by the vortex, Orion caught a final glimpse of the Goddesses' avatars, their cold mechanical gazes watching him disappear. And then, there was only darkness. The Awakening in the Void When Orion awoke, he was alone. His body floated in a shattered realm, remnants of civilizations long lost drifting around him like ghosts. His Inner World remained empty, his Nameless Abyss Core Civilization still a void. He was supposed to be dead. A failure. Forgotten. Yet, as he gazed into the darkness, something stirred within him. The Nameless Abyss… was hungry. A whisper echoed in his mind, ancient and unknown. "Devour… and become." And for the first time, Orion realized: He was not a failure. He was something the universe had never seen before. And soon, the universe would learn to fear him End of Prologue. Next: Chapter 1 - The Nameless Abyss Awakens.
