Chris Riddell Edge Chronicles

Themes: Black Market Trading, Global Crime Networks, Boundaries of Human Nature and Morality, The Struggle Between Truth and Survival Story Background: In a modern metropolis, the surface level of prosperity conceals the darkness and corruption lurking beneath. Ethan, a highly skilled detective, spends his life navigating the shadowy corners of the city, uncovering the hidden secrets buried beneath the mundane facade of everyday life. When he is drawn into what initially seems like a simple suicide case, he becomes entangled in a conspiracy involving the global black market, power struggles, and transnational crime. Main Characters: Ethan (Protagonist): A seasoned, calm, and intuitive detective who excels at finding the truth in complex cases. On the surface, he is a quiet, solitary man who prefers to avoid social interaction, but deep down, he is haunted by unresolved cases from his past. Faced with dark forces, he is both determined and full of doubt. Lila (Female Protagonist/Key Ally): Ethan's investigative partner, an intelligent and resourceful intelligence officer with a mysterious background. Her past is also shrouded in secrecy, and she seems to have an undisclosed connection to the "Black Angels" organization. She provides crucial assistance in Ethan's investigation, but her motives remain unclear, casting suspicion on her true intentions. Victor Saville (Antagonist/Main Adversary): A charismatic yet dangerous businessman, who appears to be a successful entrepreneur but is, in fact, one of the central figures of the global crime syndicate "The Black Angels." Cold-hearted, clever, and ruthless, he controls a global black market network, overseeing arms trafficking, human trafficking, and drug smuggling. He is not only a key figure in Langley's death but also the biggest obstacle in Ethan's investigation. The Mysterious Woman (Key Character): An elusive woman who repeatedly appears during Ethan's investigation, warning him not to delve deeper into Saville and the "Black Angels" organization. Her identity is unclear, but it is evident that she holds vital secrets about Saville and his network. Her appearances leave Ethan bewildered—whether she is an enemy or his only ally remains uncertain.

In the northern part of the world, a long-standing battle between various races and the demon race has finally reached its end. The Demon Lord, a figure with black hair, red eyes, rules from her obsidian palace, having repeatedly defeated the Goddess, the strongest being in the world. However, she refrains from killing her, knowing she will only be reborn to lead another attack. As the goddess kneels before her, badly injured and helpless, the sounds of explosions echo outside, signaling the imminent victory of the alliance. Despite her immense power, the demon lord acknowledges the demon's overall weakness compared to humans and the Alliance. The development of fighting energy and mana has allowed ordinary humans to fight demons, leading to the demon army's defeat. Aware of the Alliance's intent to enslave the abyssal demon, the Demon Lord decides to cast a forbidden spell that will cost her life. As the Alliance forces storm the palace, they hesitate upon sensing the spell's energy. The Demon Lord vows to resist and be reborn to save her people. Meanwhile, the goddess reflects on the demon lord's past treatment of her and acknowledges her respect and dedication to her people. As the demon lord prepares to cast the spell, the goddess asks if she can abandon her plan and live freely. However, demon lords are duty-bound to restore the demon race's glory and protect her people. Understanding the demon lord's resolve, the goddess readies her sword, intending to clash with the demo lord's forbidden spell. The resulting explosion creates a mushroom cloud, marking the end of the conflict and the start of a new era. The Demon Lord and the Goddess become historical figures, their stories occasionally told.

Alex stood amidst the chaos, his fists blazing with the raw energy of three outerworld aliens attacking in tandem. His muscles tensed, eyes narrowing with predatory focus. Just as he deflected a bone-shattering strike, something shifted. The air around him stilled. A sudden, icy calm washed over him—danger. His breath slowed, and, almost instinctively, he snapped his head sharply to the left. His vision stretched beyond the battlefield, piercing through the fabric of space itself. There, on the distant horizon of his family’s territory, a shadow loomed. An entity—malevolent and monstrous—emerged.The realization struck like thunder: an invasion was imminent. Alex's heartbeat synced with the pulse of the world. Fury ignited within him, not as a blaze but a cold, focused inferno. His body surged with energy. Without hesitation, he became the weapon. And then—like a living nuke detonating in the heart of creation—his power erupted.

Falling in the deep sea, there is no light, though desperately longing for it.

Upon his death, the entity of death itself offers their master a choice of whether to live or not. Harry Potter reincarnates several times to feed his greed that was squashed and thrown away by the manipulations of Dumbledore. As Fate's favorite and Death's master, Harry unknowingly fixes different versions of the wizarding world in every kind of way. In his thirteenth life, he is Harry Potter once again and the wizarding world changes from the awakening of a reincarnated master of death. Unfortunately, said master of death has grown to be a sociopath that is hellbent on making Dumbledore suffer... And maybe forgot about the dark lord who takes offense to this. The entire world must brace itself. "Would I get to live for myself? Will I be able to be who I am?" Harry asked. Death simply chuckled, guiding Harry towards the train. The experience was similar to when Harry had first entered Kings Cross in his first year. "That is ultimately up to you, young master."

Adam, once a human politician driven by a deep desire for change, is shot dead while visiting an archaeological site. However, when he opens his eyes, he finds himself not in a hospital or standing before God for judgment, but trapped in a mysterious forest. With no answers and no way home, he must navigate this new world—accompanied by a spirit fairy whose true motives remain unclear—and harness the power of a bloodline with limitless potential.

A young doctor felt exhausted by the hospital environment, the pressure from patients, time constraints, and the endless cycle of studying and exams. Finally, he made a bold decision: to return to a remote village and work as a doctor there, away from all that stress. In this monotonous life, there was only one thing that managed to ease his sadness a little. It was a small novel that a patient had given him. Unexpectedly, an unforeseen accident caused him to reincarnate as a minor character in that very novel. “Hahaha… At last, I can escape from that dull world!” "Now I'll use this knowledge to seize all the treasures and secrets meant for the main character... enough for me to live a peaceful and luxurious life in this world." ... "Wait, something’s wrong." "It seems the novel I read was just a poorly made copy of this world.” Everything was a surprise when the knowledge he possessed turned out to be a poorly replicated, predictable version, while the real world was the complete opposite. Here, the main character was decisive, shrewd, ruthless, killing without a second thought. The side characters were constantly entangled in cycles of killing and scheming. Not to mention, the fate of this damned world seemed to be like two sides of the same coin.

He’ll do whatever it takes to survive, even if it means changing the fates of the main characters and messing up the story itself.

Leo always thought being an adventurer sounded cool. Fight monsters, save towns, maybe get a cool nickname like "The Unstoppable" or "The Guy Who Won't Shut Up About His Earth Bending." But when a sarcastic 12-year-old country bumpkin decides to leave his quiet village behind and make a name for himself, things don't go quite as planned. Armed with a solid earth-bending talent, a complete lack of maturity, and just enough stubbornness to make bad ideas worse, Leo quickly learns that adventuring is less about glory and more about laws, taxes, and surviving giant monsters with rocks for fur. Along the way, he discovers new ways to bend earth (and the rules), learns about fusing with elemental monsters (it's grosser than it sounds), and repeatedly gets in over his head-because, of course, he does
