Steve Barnes Mastermind

In the church's prison, a man looked at his shackles. 'Little girl... is this the ending you wanted to see?' Thinking back to that resolute and pretty face in his memory and that golden hair like the blooming sunset, Lister sighed. 'If I had known that my end will be like this, I might as well have abandoned that little useless princess, opened a small tavern, and found a woman to spend my life with.' "Man, how unlucky am I..." Lister remembered that while he was playing with these little fluffy monster girls, he used to often tease a certain witch that she would accidentally end up on the stake, making her puzzled, but he didn't expect that he would be the one to go up first. "If all this could start over... I should have chosen the monster girls after all." "Oh? Really?" A cold yet teasing voice sounded beside him. As he turned his head to look, powerful magic energy gathered and swirled, and finally, a tall female figure walked out of it. She wore a tight black dress that showed off her curvy, mature figure. Lister knew her... or rather, should have known her. 'The Sinful Dragon Demon Lord, Priscilla' "Did you really mean it when you said you'd choose monster girls?" "...I wonder if the mighty Demon Lord has decided to grace me with a heart-to-heart in this cozy little prison." "As expected of the mastermind who single-handedly helped that incompetent woman to the throne. Even now you have the energy to crack jokes?" "You flatter me. I think it's quite humanistic for a Demon Lord who has children for breakfast, lunch, and dinner to chat with a dying man in prison." "Tsk, getting upset over a little teasing already?" "Sigh, alright, I don't have much time either. Let me get to the point with you. What are you still waiting for here, waiting to die?" "I don't know, maybe waiting for a female Demon Lord to come swoop in and save me?" "You know Aurola has abandoned you. What are you still hoping for?" "...So what does this have to do with the Demon Lord? We only have a very shallow cooperative relationship; I don't think it matters if I die or not." "Of course it does." Priscilla smiled and pressed the blunt end of her dragon horn against his forehead. "Because I want you, but I'm different from Aurola. What she gave you, I can give. What she couldn't give you, I can also give. Didn't you want to choose monster girls? In the Demon Capital, there are all kinds of monster girls. You can pick whichever you like." "Then, are there fluffy and warm ones?" "...I think the ones with hard scales and slender, elegant physiques are not bad either." "Ahem, I digress." "Anyway, I understand you better than you think. As long as you come with me to the Demon Capital, I will satisfy your everything within my power. As long as you promise me one thing..." "I know." Lister picked up where Priscilla left off, smiling back at her. "You want me, right?" "What a smarty~. So, you agree?" "Mm. I'll go with you." 'And come on, it's fluffy monster girls' 'I can't refuse.'

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

Battling an unusual form of personality dissociation, Motan admits to feeling the weight of immense pressure bearing down on him. Amidst this turmoil, he finds solace in a virtual escape called "The Realm of Innocence," a game that has become his sanctuary from stress. In the realm where ambiguity reigns, Motan's behavior is unpredictable and impetuous, making him the instigator and mastermind behind myriad events that spiral out of control. Yet, within the sphere of virtue, his resilience and courage shine through, earning him the admiration of many who see him as the epitome of a righteous knight and a fair judge. When dwelling in the balance of absolute neutrality, he adopts a demeanor of modesty and lethargy, mirroring the ordinary essence of every soul. Conversely, in the domain of chaotic evil, he transforms into a figure of madness and cruelty, embodying the very essence of a demon and deceiver, showing kindness only to himself. "Tan Mo is the most extraordinary Bard I have ever encountered, though he is... perplexing, to say the least," comments Countess Leisha, reflecting on his complex nature. "Mor is a man of distinguished integrity! Having met him just once, I am convinced that he is someone one can confidently turn their back to," declares Gwen, the leader of the Rose Rot, acknowledging his noble character. "If you're in search of the ideal neighbor, look no further than Hei Fan," recommends Alchemist Luna, suggesting his suitability for companionship. Yet, amidst these varied testimonies, a warning resonates, "Don't talk about that man!" indicating a mysterious, perhaps darker aspect of his persona that remains unexplored.

In the grand city of Eldrath, where power is fought for in the shadows and alliances are as fleeting as the night, one man seeks to outplay them all. Aran Silas, a brilliant tactician and master manipulator, has no overwhelming strength or supernatural gifts. Instead, his genius lies in his ability to maneuver through the complex web of politics, crime, and treachery. Aran’s ambitions go far beyond wealth or fame—he wants control. Absolute control. As the illegitimate son of a noble family, Aran grew up on the fringes of high society, learning that intelligence and cunning were his only tools for survival. Now, as a man, he is determined to rise to power from behind the scenes, orchestrating the downfall of those who stand in his way. From crime lords to noble houses, no one is safe from his web of lies, half-truths, and carefully plotted schemes. But Eldrath is not just a city of ambition—it’s a battleground. Aran finds himself locked in a deadly game with two formidable women: Lady Nera, a powerful noble with her own dark empire, and Alara Sindel, a cunning seductress with ambitions that rival Aran’s own. With alliances shifting like sand and enemies lurking in every corner, Aran must stay several steps ahead, or risk losing everything. In a world where betrayal is as common as breathing and trust is a weakness, Aran plays the ultimate gambit—manipulating, deceiving, and outwitting everyone who crosses his path. But as his control grows, so do the dangers. His enemies are many, and even his allies may turn against him. And while he strives to shape the world in his image, there are forces at play far beyond his control. In Shadow’s Gambit, Aran Silas must balance ambition with survival as he navigates a treacherous world of mystery, intrigue, and deadly politics. His intelligence is his weapon, his mind his greatest asset, and in the dark, no one can see the strings he's pulling. But every gambit comes at a cost. Key Themes: Mind over muscle: Aran uses strategy and intelligence to defeat stronger foes. Anti-heroic journey: Aran’s morally ambiguous nature makes him both a mastermind and a manipulator, willing to sacrifice anyone for his goals. Political intrigue and power struggles: Noble houses, criminal syndicates, and rival factions all vie for control of Eldrath. Trust and betrayal: Friendships, alliances, and romances are all tainted by the looming threat of betrayal, making trust a rare and dangerous commodity. Aran Silas isn’t just playing the game—he’s rewriting the rules. But how long can he stay ahead before the shadows close in?

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

If you've ever thought "This can't get worse" and life said "Hold my coffee,"welcome to my world.

Using his knowledge of physics, Ryuujin deciphers the marks and begins to forge his own path, blending science with martial arts. This discovery unlocks the *Omni Eye*, an extraordinary ability that allows him to analyze and counter any technique. With this newfound power, Ryuujin dominates his peers, earning respect and sparking rumors of his unparalleled strength. But when pressured to attend the prestigious royal academy, he defies expectations and embarks on a journey of self-discovery instead.

The world is rife with challenges: dangerous beasts, rival clans, and mysterious villains with tragic pasts. Among them is a shadowy mastermind whose manipulations tie back to Ryuujin's first life, forcing him to confront his buried trauma.

This weapon evolves alongside him, symbolizing his relentless pursuit of perfection. Yet, Ryuujin’s greatest battles are not just against enemies but against the limitations of his own body and the lingering scars of his past. Through relentless battles, emotional confrontations, and complex alliances, Ryuujin rises to become a warrior feared and respected across the land.
