Huh? Did i just get reincarnated?

I thought I had seen bad endings before—but nothing prepared me for the garbage conclusion of The Hero’s Path. Years of investment, countless struggles, and for what? The protagonist failed. The villain won. Everyone else? Dead. Furious, I sent a message to the author, only to get a chilling response: [Do you think you could do better?] Before I could even blink, my phone exploded in a blinding light, and the next thing I knew—I was waking up in a completely different body. Now, I’m Merlin Everhart, a fourteen-year-old with a 12-star talent, the kind of gift only the strongest should have. But here’s the problem: I have no idea who I am supposed to be. With nothing but a system and a first-day-of-school alarm ringing in my ears, I’m thrown into the world of The Hero’s Path. Am I just another side character in a world that already ended once? …Either way, I refuse to let this story beat me too.

In the rugged landscapes of Bashkortostan, a land steeped in ancient myths and untamed nature, mysterious "Gates" begin to tear open reality. From these portals emerge monstrous beings—twisted versions of Bashkir folklore creatures like Shurale, Azraka, and Ubyr—threatening to overrun the world. Amid the chaos, an unlikely hero emerges: Aydar Salavatov, a lowly courier from Sterlitamak with no grand ambitions. Chosen by a cryptic "System," Aydar gains the powers of a batyr, a legendary warrior of Bashkir epics, starting with the humble "Voice of the Urals." Weak but determined, he must level up his abilities, confront the horrors spilling from the Gates, and uncover the dark force behind them. In a journey across Bashkortostan’s mountains, rivers, and cities, Aydar will rise from obscurity to become the batyr the world needs—if he can survive. *** Notes for English Readers: Bashkortostan: A republic in Russia, located in the Ural Mountains region, known for its rich history, diverse landscapes, and unique Bashkir culture. Think of it as a land where ancient traditions meet modern life. Batyr: A heroic figure from Bashkir folklore, akin to a knight or warrior of epic tales, often blessed with extraordinary strength or wisdom. Shurale: A forest spirit in Bashkir and Tatar mythology, typically a trickster with long claws who lures people to their doom. Here, it’s a towering, menacing monster. Azraka: A mythical dragon-like creature tied to the Ural Mountains, guarding treasures or secrets. Ubyr: A malevolent spirit or vampire-like entity that feeds on life force, sometimes possessing humans. System: Inspired by "Solo Leveling," a game-like interface that grants powers, levels, and quests to chosen individuals.

Lin Fan one day is searching for games to play when he comes across an interesting title. However, when he goes to play, he finds himself transported into the game world, as the Sect Master of the Moon Embracing Sect. The once-mighty Moon Embracing Sect had long since fallen into obscurity, but Lin Fan has devised a plan to survive: the game mentioned an increase in power and talent with each disciple accepted, with the rewards dependent on the talent of the disciple. And what better disciples to accept than those with a protagonist template and the children of destiny? Thus, he established a unorthodox admission policy: - Those with missing parents and annulled engagements, automatic admission. - Those who talked to rings, old men in paintings, or mysterious artifacts, automatic admission. - Those who had survived more than three near-death encounters, automatic admission. - Those whose enemies enjoyed sneering arrogantly before getting crushed, automatic admission. - And, of course, those who carried the aura of a protagonist, automatic admission. The strategy seemed foolproof—until the Fifth Elder excitedly brought news of a candidate who checked every box. Lin Fan was thrilled… until he heard the name: Tang. Danger alarms rang in his mind. This wasn’t a disciple; this was a walking catastrophe! Without hesitation, Lin Fan rewrote destiny itself, erased the sect’s involvement, and carefully redirected this disaster-child toward their greatest rival instead. As he barricaded himself in closed-door seclusion, one thought haunted him: Had he just saved his sect… or doomed the entire world? A cultivation comedy where tropes are shattered, clichés are exploited, and a sect leader does everything in his power to outmaneuver fate itself! ================= Translated but with some things removed or added to make it more readable and logical.

Kang Joon-ho was the first and only person to ever conquer the Tower, defeating the Floor Guardians, clearing every challenge, and reaching the top—only to find himself alone. The world was gone. Every player, every country, every life… erased. At the summit, the enigmatic Tower Owner gave him a final choice. “What do you wish for?” Joon-ho’s answer was simple. “I want to climb the Tower again.” And so, his wish was granted—but with a cruel twist.

He’s climbing to break the system, destroy the Tower Owner, and prevent the end of the world.

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope.
