In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now!

Sure! Here is the translation of the given text: "Dreamer, I am just a piece of emotionless wood, a withered tree that cannot encounter spring, and does not understand the feelings of the world, the love between people. Except for you. Only you. The first part of this text is cheerful, while the second part is painful. 'Not long for this world, because there is no deeper emotion left. From now on, no one in this world will be able to show the slightest sentiment on Wen Meng's face.' What Wu Jiu said is indeed correct; the truths of this world really are: the strongest will face humiliation, and deep love cannot last."

[Puppet of the Gods / Kamigami no Kugutsu] Since the dawn of existence, two opposing forces have governed the world: Linear Fate and Boundless Fate. Linear Fate ensures absolute order, where every event is predetermined and unchangeable, while Boundless Fate embodies limitless possibilities, allowing free will to shape destiny. The Archons, self-proclaimed gods of the world, feared the chaos of free will and sought to eradicate it, forging an alliance with Linear Fate to suppress Boundless Fate and trap mortals in an unbreakable cycle of predestination. From the remnants of Boundless Fate and the last flickers of human defiance, Nazo was born. Unlike any mortal, he was untouched by Linear Fate’s and the Archon’s control, an anomaly with the potential to restore the shattered balance. However, the Archons recognized the danger he posed before he could ever realize his power. Knowing they can’t erase him yet and the fact that Boundless Fate was severely weaken, they’re able and did twisted him into their greatest puppet. From infancy, they manipulated his very existence, embedding within him a false purpose. He was raised as their enforcer, taught to believe that resisting fate was futile, that free will was an illusion, and that Linear Fate was the ultimate truth. His emotions were suppressed, his memories distorted, and his mind shackled in an unending cycle of obedience. Whenever a sliver of doubt arose, the Archons manipulated reality around him, ensuring that every attempt at defiance resulted in despair and failure. Yet, despite their efforts, the tiniest echoes of Boundless Fate still lingered within him. It was barely perceptible, but enough to spark questions. Enough for cracks to form in the Archons’ perfect world. Enough to make him wonder—could linear fate truly be change?

My existence was simple and ordinary, trapped in the monotony of a routine that seemed to go on forever. Every day, for as long as I can remember, went by in a predictable way, with no surprises or shocks. However, there was something that broke with this apparent normality: at certain moments, without warning, the continuity of time was fractured. It was a strange and disconcerting phenomenon. The whole world froze. People, objects, even the air I breathed were suspended, as if the universe had held its breath. Everything but me. I was the only one capable of moving, of exploring that frozen state. At first, I thought it was a dream, a hallucination or some kind of brain anomaly, but eventually I realised it was real. However, I could not shake the feeling that I was not as alone as it seemed. There was something in that absolute silence, something that made me feel watched, stalked. Was I really the only one who could move in those moments? Or perhaps, there was something - or someone - else who was also walking in the stillness of time.

'There is no hope for humanity in this era. But if we can try again! if one of us can try again, then we have a chance. Soma, be the one to carry this burden for us. Be our ray of hope.' The era of humanity ended when the ceiling of the tower was broken and the Rankers saw the 'true' sky for the first time. That led to a fight between humanity and the outer gods in which humanity in which humanity was soundly defeated. But they did not lose hope. Using whatever power humanity had left, they decided to send one of their representatives back in time to prevent the apolitical future from happening. This was how Soma came to the past and he only had one goal in mind - to prevent the future from unfolding the same way as it did last time.

For ten years, Raiten has been bound to the Thunder Tower and made the enslaved guardian of his clan's northern pillar. Once, he dreamed of freedom and fought for a friend he believed in. Now, she’s returned—a hero, wielding the power he stole for her.  The only questions that remains are, how will Raiten kill her? How will Raiten kill the five elders who enslaved him, killed his mother, stole his childhood? Will he choose forgiveness and carve for himself a new life, beyond the tower, beyond the clan? Or, will he sink in the depraved depths of bloody vengeance?  Perhaps a bit of both.  This story is a mix of vengeance, fast-paced action, lighter slice-of-life moments, and of course, magic. Great for fans of Shadow Slave, Red Rising, Cosmere novels, Mother of Learning, the game Roadwarden, The Witcher, and more! Please enjoy.  [Note: cover is AI art.
