Lane Allen, an A-rank Guide, got injured on an emergency mission suppressing a dungeon break, and perished in his almost-lover’s arms. As the remaining members of his team continued to fight for their lives, in a fancy apartment in a distant part of the city, a young man opened his eyes. “Phew… That hurt like hell…” “It’s a bit of a shame to switch so soon… But I guess it is what it is.” “Anyway, who should I become next?” Actually, Lane Allen was not a Guide, but rather an Esper with a mysterious Plunder ability! It allowed him to possess other people’s bodies, and steal their awakened abilities. Keeping his real body safe, Lane could enjoy life to the fullest, constantly swapping identities, and doing whatever he wanted without ever worrying about the consequences! How great was that? Except… Damien Lennox grabbed Lane’s arm, and pressed him against the wall, his clear green eyes staring down at Lane intently, as if he could see right through him. “There’s no one else whose guidance feels so harsh and chaotic, yet pleasing at the same time.” It seems that Damien was somehow able to recognize Lane even after switching identities, and is unwilling to let him go? . . . Villainous protagonist who couldn’t care less (at least for now~) x Righteous love interest possessive of MC! Top x top :> #Guideverse #guide #esper

Il y a 5 ans, la Terre a été le théâtre d'un événement désormais connu sous le nom de “L'Éveil du Monde”. À ce moment-là, le monde a complètement changé. Le mana s'est réveillé dans le monde, les portails ont commencé à s'ouvrir, et un écran holographique est apparu devant les yeux de chaque humain, qui détaillait leur “statut”. Chaque individu s'est vu attribuer un talent pour commencer, allant de capacités simples comme une vue améliorée à des trucs de fantasy fous comme la pyrokinésie. Et au sein de cette myriade d'abilités, Damien s'est éveillé à une affinité spatiale avec la compétence de “téléportation à courte distance”. Au début, il était excité, pensant à des combats intenses et à acquérir un grand pouvoir, mais la réalité a été rapide à le ramener à la raison. Son habileté ne fonctionnait que dans la zone de 10 mètres autour de lui, et ses statistiques physiques étaient incroyablement faibles, le laissant fatigué après avoir utilisé son pouvoir quelques fois. Désillusionné par sa faiblesse, Damien a vécu une vie tranquille en faisant tout ce qu'il pouvait pour joindre les deux bouts, jusqu'à ce qu'un jour, tout change. Damien a été trahi et jeté dans un portail, laissé pour compte à se défendre seul dans un labyrinthe de bêtes. Quelque chose a craqué en lui ce jour-là. Il refusait de rester faible et de baisser la tête plus longtemps. Lorsqu'il émergea des ténèbres, il se retrouva dans un nouveau monde, sans idée de comment retourner sur Terre. Cependant, il n'était plus le même enfant qu'au moment de sa chute. ===== Discord : https://discord.gg/sEfafFXazb ===== Couverture par Lia.Audelia

"If somehow you could rewrite your life's greatest sins." Damien Vryce, a hard-hearted killer, was hanged for tyranny. He found himself awoken one year ahead of his fall.

In the path of redemption lay treachery, conspiracies under the surface, and an unlikely, but hot love with the unknown woman, Amara Draven.

An entire kingdom lies in the threshold of war, enemies imbued with greed lurk in the shadows, and the second chance for Damien may well be the last. 20 power stones = 2 extra chapter 4 golden ticket = 2 extra chapter

Run out of roman numerals, use numbers instead. 11 Turtles may live long, but still dread the end, the characters fear a 404. 12 The local zombie looks handsome, cries out adorably when opening its mouth. 13 One dance captures the city, the beauty of the past fades away. There's a lot more, too tired to write the summary...

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle.
