Realist Hero Characters

a story that I started on the royal road that I am unsure if I should continue ============================== In a kingdom where the dead walk and the darkness whisper of doom, salvation rests in the hands of the broken, the discarded, and the damned. Once a name that inspired fear, Kaius was a warlord whose conquests left rivers of blood in their wake. Now, burdened by the weight of his sins, he lives in exile, haunted by the faces of the slain. But when a rising tide of undead threatens to devour the shattered remnants of Xanvern, Kaius is forced to confront his past and the ghosts it left behind. At the heart of this terror is a cabal of necromancers, wielding magic so vile it twists life itself into abominations. Their ranks swell with the enslaved dead, and whispers of betrayal echo through Xanvern as dark cults rise to worship them. To banish this suffocating darkness, Kaius must embrace the agony of his past, transforming himself into a weapon of fear and destruction. In a world where mercy is a death sentence and compassion is devoured by the shadows, survival demands he abandon his humanity. To save Xanvern, Kaius must walk the line between human and inhuman. But in the end, will he save the kingdom—or damn it to eternal darkness? To fight monsters, must one also become a monster?. (I'm a new author so I have no idea what I'm doing. Please don't expect much from me.)

To save a doomed fantasy world, I killed the main characters, then destroyed the game world, and fell into another timeline as the academy's top seat and rival to the protagonist.

In the world of the heavens, there are an elite few in history who transcend the word "genius." They rise through the ranks of cultivation with unparalleled speed, perform feats that defy common sense on a regular basis, and generally educate all who cross their path on just what it means for the difference between two cultivators to be as the difference between heaven and earth. This…is NOT their story. Xu Zuhui has never been considered a genius, or particularly talented, though no one would call him a failure either—no small feat in the cutthroat world of VRMMOs, the dominant form of entertainment on a dying Earth. Indeed, he is one of the lucky few to escape the terrible, ruined real world by uploading to a persistent virtual world based on the world of Cultivation. But though his new body and new life comes with substantial perks, he will soon discover there are substantial risks as well. He’s far from the only strong talent in this new world, and few such people are happy to welcome more into their ranks. In what was supposed to be a virtual world, Xu Zuhui will soon find that the stakes he’s fighting for are very real…and he’ll have to become very strong indeed to survive the events the real hero of this world will inevitably drag him into.

Forny wakes up in an unknown virtual world, with no memory of how he got there. He soon discovers that, in order to escape, he must defeat the five Supreme Creators, powerful beings who control the destiny of this digital universe. However, as he advances in his mission, he is confronted with an even more complex reality: his abilities are limited by a strange restriction that makes him vulnerable, while a mysterious force stalks him with the aim of destroying him and sealing his tragic fate. Throughout his journey, Forny is forced to face physical and psychological challenges that push him to the limit. In his quest to obtain the Escape Code, the only way to return to the real world, he uncovers dark secrets that reveal that nothing in this virtual world is what it seems. What Forny doesn't know is that his struggle is part of a much larger plan, one in which the strange being that torments him in his dreams seeks not only his defeat, but the manipulation of both worlds. Now, he must make difficult decisions to survive and protect those around him, while fighting for a future that seems increasingly uncertain. In a world where the rules are constantly changing, Forny's greatest challenge will be to discover what is really at stake, who the real enemy is, and what he is willing to sacrifice to escape a fate he cannot trust.

With every move of her hands and every batting of her lashes, Selene was able to captivate the world with her delicate beauty. She was the "Queen of Showbiz," the beloved of the Castillo family, unlike Keira, the ugly duckling of the family. It didn't matter the context or truth behind the issue, Keira was to be blamed by everyone. "Selene can do no wrong! How can such a delicate, fragile thing think ill of someone? It must be Keira who is making up lies!" "How dare you cause your sister to become sick! Receive your punishment!" Such words were a norm for Keira. The place she called home was Hell's Gate, and the people she called family were poisonous demons. Her life was filled with blame and abuse hurled by her sister's supporters. She was schemed against, attacked, and ruined to the point of no return. The last nine months of her life were the worst. Her insomnia had developed into Sporadic Fatal Insomnia, causing her to lose weight as she suffered consistent sleepless nights. At the age of 23, Keira Castillo passed away alone in her dingy apartment. Her final moments were filled with dread as she begged and prayed to whichever god was listening. "If only I had one more chance..." To her delight, she had regressed to when she was 18. 'The man you love? I'm taking him. The title 'Queen of Showbiz'? That's also mine. Everything you gained from stepping all over me, I will take. My dear Selene, I will play you in the palms of my hands and live my life the way I was supposed to.'

This isn't one story. The novel consists of many characters that I really want to get out of my head. the character may have different stories but one character, one story. Or at least one.

"Know nothing. See nothing. Be nothing. Forget everything that you think you know of this reality where you now exist. Only then can the Nilverse fulfill its purpose to you." CK may be the honorable salutatorian, but this does not stop the Institute of the Nonaphrontistery from putting her on trial and accusing her of unethical practices to accomplish her thesis. The people once believed this would be the most difficult aspect of CK's life as a wordsmith, but the outcome of the trial was only a prelude of what was to come. And this is true; for what reason should one limit themselves to a single world when the Empire spans across worlds in the Vast Expansion? This is a place where fairytales are the cornerstone of a noble's society; where systems answer the call of the ambitious but not call them special. This is a place where only a single empire conquers all, and where a page of history is questioned in the era of peace. This place is not a story, but a journey that begins with a trial before Knowledge herself. Come, bear witness, and applaud the recital that is about to unfold! *** Prologue: The introductory volume. Students are meant to be nurtured and sheltered by the schools that took responsibility. But when the school has turned against one of their own, shall this be the sign of the student's downfall? To CK, probably not. It does make an excuse to do things she wasn't allowed before, though.

Arsol (Username: Hakkun) is your average eighteen-year-old tech nerd; he reads cliche light novels, plays video games (way too many), studies for exams, and he programs! Does he have friends? A social life, maybe? Nah, he’s an anti-social whose inner monologues revolve around how humans suck. He’s the type who blames the world for his problems: edgy, angsty, emo— thinks he’s smarter than everyone and has answers for the world’s crisis. Gotta give it to him, though, he a young talent at whatever he does. His skills for programming, gaming (FPS) as well as studying makes up for the fact that he’s an arse. So much so, that he stops going to school altogether and locks himself in his room, he’d rather be with his computer. Because Arsol is on a mission! He’s been collaborating with online strangers who are all equally gamers and computer nerds, who understand him, and who all have this idea to make this steampunk/dieselpunk game called ‘Hero of Emberstein.’ Now, Arsol won’t lie, he’s obsessed. Being one of the co-creators, he finds himself adding features and details he’d want in an MMORPG. The only thing he dislikes is the customizable character features; he never understands such a personalized activity. He prefers Gacha. After 3 years, the game is finally available for beta testing, his 7 online co-creators are all ready to click the play button. But little does Arsol know, he would for real be in the game, like in person, like ISEKAI-ed, like he could die, for real for real. What's worse is, everyone who clicked the play button for the beta test, has also been Isekaied. So like, maybe over a thousand or more? Arsol thinks it’s his fault innocent players are getting transmigrated into HIS game, because he remembers that he removed the 'EXIT' button as a harmless malfunctioning prank-- turned deadly?! Oops. Journey along with Arsol as he hides his identity as the creator, the culprit, and the administrator. And that time he finds out his 6 online friends are all here as well, but where?! Who?! UGH, THIS IS WHY HE HATES CUSTOMIZABLE CHARACTERS! ( I DO, IN FACT, OWN THE COVER )
