Lucero Arcadia

Attending one of the best academies in the realm was one thing. Being a single father on top of it was something else entirely. To top it all off, he couldn't tell anyone because of a stupid policy!

Jaden Rook, a 22-year-old gaming addict and master of min-maxing RPGs, dies in a ridiculous accident involving a vending machine and a runaway truck. Instead of heading to the afterlife, he gets isekai’d into Arcadia, a fantasy world with magic, monsters, and kingdoms at war. Excited to finally live out his power fantasy, Jaden is given a customizable system that lets him break reality. The catch? The system is a sarcastic, trolling AI that nerfs him for fun, gives him humiliating challenges, and forces him into absurd scenarios before unlocking his true power. SNEAK PEAK: I didn’t expect to die today. But as I lay on the cold pavement, crushed between a vending machine and an outofcontrol delivery truck, I had only one thought: This is the dumbest way to die. A moment ago, I had just been trying to shake loose a stuck soda. Then, BAM! Instant roadkill. As my vision faded, the last thing I saw was the smug grin of the vending machine, as if mocking me. When I opened my eyes, I was no longer on the pavement. Instead, I floated in a pristine, glowing void. Before me hovered an old man with a white beard, a golden toga, and the same deadpan expression as a DMV worker. “Oh, great,” I muttered. “I’m dead, aren’t I?” “Yes,” the old man said, stroking his beard. “And you have been chosen for reincarnation in another world.” My eyes widened. “Wait. Hold up. Are you telling me… I’m getting isekai’d? Like in the anime?” The old man nodded. “Indeed. You have been selected to wield a powerful system, one that will grant you abilities beyond mortal comprehension.” I fistpumped. “Hell yeah! Overpowered skills, here I come!” The old man coughed. “Yes, well… about that.” I narrowed my eyes. “What do you mean, about that?” “You see, we have too many reincarnators lately. We can’t just be handing out godtier powers like candy anymore.” I folded my arms. “Okay, so what are we talking? A slightly nerfed cheat? A balanced growth system?” The old man looked away. “You’ll… figure it out.” My stomach dropped. “Oh, hell no. You’re about to scam me, aren’t you?” “I would never!” the old man said, voice dripping with totally believable innocence. “Now, off you go!”

"A forgotten past. A hidden bloodline. A war that cannot be avoided." For centuries, the Valtoria Empire has thrived under the rule of powerful mage-nobles, each carrying the blood of legendary warriors. Among them was Magnus Ravencroft, the hero who defeated the Demon King Azrathor, The Abyssal Tyrant, sealing his dark influence away forever. His name became legend, his bloodline a symbol of power. But not all heirs seek the throne. Damien Ravencroft, the second son of the ruling Duke, walked away from the ruthless games of nobility. While his siblings fought for power, Damien chose a different path—becoming a teacher at Arcadia Academy, where he could guide the next generation of mages. Though a master of both spell and steel, he had no interest in war, no desire for the throne. However, peace is fleeting. Dark forces stir in the shadows, and whispers of an ancient evil begin to resurface. When students start disappearing and forbidden magic seeps into the academy, Damien is forced to confront the past he abandoned. But the truth is far more personal than he expected—one of his own siblings has allied with the demons, seeking revenge and power at any cost. As betrayal and war loom over the empire, Damien must make a choice: Will he remain the teacher who seeks peace, or will he embrace his forgotten legacy and fight for the fate of the world? Some battles cannot be avoided, no matter how much you wish for peace.

The world of Arcadia is a world filled with monsters, demonic beasts, dungeons and demons. In exchange for the countless monster often attacking the cities, humans were born with endless potential. Some were born with powerful physical strength; others were born with magical talent. However, with the endless hordes, death was the norm, and plenty of people still lived in the street. It was in such a world that Lux was reborn. Lux, a man from the modern world, awoke in the body of an orphan of seven years old with a distinct power: Invincible. An ability that would keep him alive and allow him to beat any of his opponents. Fifteen years later, Lux, twenty-two years old, stood in the alley where everything began. "I became the strongest and repelled countless monster hordes. It's now time to do what I always wished. I want to create the adventurer's guild and become its first head. I will offer a chance to those who never had any." “Ding!”

Updates every 10:00PM UTC+7 Centuries ago, a mysterious meteor descended upon the Earth. Instead of wiping all life forms on the planet, it terraformed the Earth, transforming both living and non-living things alike. This event was called the Great Meteor Fall. Monsters and Beasts appeared and proliferated on the land, causing a shift to the ordinary lifestyle people once knew. Humans also underwent changes thanks to the meteor. Some were granted supernatural powers, and some were granted strength. With these changes, mankind concluded that life will never be the same. The rise of adventurers and guilds was only a few things brought about by the change. Those who wielded great power became prominent figures. But this was just the beginning. The ground zero of the meteor, where it descended, became the territory of a powerful entity known as the Dark One. No one knew where he came from, but rumors said he was inside the meteor when it landed. The energy levels in ground zero were so potent that an average human wouldn't be able to survive it. As such, only high-ranking adventurers could enter it with great difficulty and survive. However, no one came close to the fortress of the dark One, built on top of the meteor itself. As years passed, the monsters and beasts became more powerful, and the adventurers struggled to keep up. But there was no real threat. The Dark One didn't seem to care for Earth's inhabitants, or maybe he was in deep slumber, awaiting his awakening before he invaded Earth. It was foretold, however, that the Dark One was close to awakening, and the powerful monsters and beasts were a clear sign of it. Backed into a corner, the countries were forced to rely on forbidden technology to combat the upcoming invasion. Messing with the space-time continuum, mankind was able to summon influential and powerful people from the past. They became known as Heroes of Relics. These heroes partied up and became Earth's last line of defense against the oncoming invasion. Albrecht Stein was part of the Heroes of Relics. However, he was kicked out of the party since they no longer needed a porter. His only particular skill was spatial storage space, and he was just an additional headcount, so they kicked him out. Just like the other Heroes, he was transported to the future with the sole purpose of defeating the Dark One. But now that his purpose was gone, he decided to live a quiet life in the countryside. That is until the final countdown was issued, and the world's destruction drew near.

500 years ago on Earth, the Apocalypse doomed life on the Blue Planet. Humanity was in a pit of hell as the Strike of Zombies, Mutation of Animals, and Appearance of Monsters happened altogether. Humankind was forced to leave their native planet for an indefinite period. For hundreds of years, humans lived in Arcadia — a planet so far away from Earth that the only way to reach it was through the Portal. For hundred of years, humans coexist with the aardeans — a humanoid race native to the Pastel Planet. After more than three centuries, conflicts between humans and aardeans spark the idea of war. Genocide of humans has always been the clear end to the war. To save humanity from yet another doom, the Leaders secretly formed the Saviors and send them to Earth. Each of the ten members of the Saviors is granted a System for the Mission, including Aksel, who is granted the Beast Monster System. To his father, Aksel is an embarrassment; but he wants to change that — so he joins the Saviors. He determines to end the Apocalypse on Earth so that humanity could return to their native planet and prevent the war against the aardeans. Aksel goes on the Mission optimistically, without knowing what could possibly happen once he set foot on the Blue Planet. *The cover art and character illustrations were made with openart.ai.
