Path To Power

Waking up in an unfamiliar world with no memories, I had only one advantage—a mind filled with knowledge of fictional tropes, clichés, and common sense learned from countless novels. At first, I thought I was trapped in a romcom nightmare when I started triggering events like "Helping a Girl on a Rainy Day", "Damsel in Distress", and "Tripping Into the Heroine’s Arms." Naturally, I shut those nonsense down before they could escalate. No forced romances. No misunderstandings. No cringe. But something was clearly off. The world wasn’t just a slice-of-life comedy. Beneath the cliché academy setting, there were whispers of awakening powers, hidden dangers, and a brutal magic academy entrance exam. And every challenge I prevented or manipulated was an opportunity to grow stronger. [Title Earned: Background Character.] [Achievement Unlocked: Firm Mind.] [New Skill Acquired: Background Character's Aura.] [New Ability Acquired: Anti-Narrative Influence.] I may be just a background character, but if fate insists on throwing these events at me, I’ll turn them into stepping stones. Let the protagonists play their scripted roles—I have my own path to power.

"Knowledge is a curse," people often say. But in this world, knowledge is both a curse and a blessing. Humans have discovered how to access a realm beyond their minds—a metaphysical expanse called the "Ocean of Knowledge." Within it lies boundless wisdom: knowledge, insights, information, magical incantations, alchemical recipes, and artifacts waiting to be uncovered. Those who manage to tap into this wondrous realm are called "seekers." Kale has always been an odd one—an orphan taken in by a sect member, a disgrace who couldn’t even access the Ocean of Knowledge. That is, not until his fifteenth birthday. But Kale is no "ordinary" seeker.

There exists a chief astronomer on Earth who not only wants to explore the stars, but to also discover and connect with what dwells beyond them. Unfortunately, in search of the heavens, Astra Sera has failed to identify with the natural. She has failed to connect with something that makes her truly human. Then, as it seems like the heavens themselves granted her wish, Astra is torn from her world and cast into a futuristic world born through the remnants of divinity. Demigods work unseen, constellations lie silently through the depths of space, and ancient magical kingdoms rise in the shadow of mysterious beings. Even in this world touched by the heavens, human nature still remains untouched. Infinite Celestial power shimmers in the air like stardust, but the souls that wield it remain haunted by threats of mutation and insanity. Like a cruel joke, the very world that Astra dreamt for fractures her sense of identity as she risks corruption from her newfound powers. This is the legend—a mythos—of how humans wish to become gods, while gods wish to seek the specialness of humanity.

She built his empire from the ground up, turning a nobody into a billionaire. But when betrayal came, it was more than infidelity. David Blackwood shattered her body, her mind, and her soul—infecting her with disease, killing her child, and freezing her out of the very world she created. But Anita is a White. And now, she’s coming home. Back in the arms of the most ruthless family in the country, Anita must navigate corporate warfare, mafia politics, and deadly alliances. To take down David—whose saintly public image masks darker secrets than she ever imagined—Anita turns to the one man she vowed never to see again: Maverick Ravenswood, a mafia kingpin with questionable loyalty and a dangerous obsession. And then there’s Killian Wellington. The childhood fiancé whose life was destroyed, and who may want revenge... or something far more complicated. As secrets unravel and past sins come to light, Anita realizes the betrayal goes deeper than one man. She was never the queen... she was just a pawn in someone else’s game. But now? She’s about to burn the board with Maverick on her right, Killian on her left, and her father, Reginald White behind her. #Slowburn

It began with silence. Not the kind that crept through rooms late at night, or the kind that blanketed cities before a storm—but a silence that stretched across continents. A pause. A universal hush. Then, all at once, every living person on Earth heard it not through their ears, but deep inside their minds. "A new emperor has been born." The words were clear. Ancient. Powerful. Spoken in no language and yet understood by all. Some froze mid-step. Some wept without knowing why. Others—those with power or knowledge of the unseen—felt a ripple of energy surge through the layers of reality. The message didn’t stop at Earth. It passed through dreams, planes, and dimensions. And somewhere deep beneath layers of forgotten space, ancient things stirred. Beings locked away for centuries shifted in their prisons. Some smiled. Others screamed.

In the deepest chambers of shadow governments and secret orders, alarms were triggered. Hidden organizations the kind that even presidents answered to scrambled into action. They knew what the return of an emperor meant: chaos... or salvation. And somewhere on the slopes of an old mountain, a young man named Philip stood he had just accepted the final legacy He didn’t hear the message. Not like the others. For him, the silence remained. But something within him shifted.

[Warning: Mature audience only] Shidaken was an ambitious man, driven not by hope, duty, or loyalty, but by the cold weight of reality. Raised in a world that showed him only cruelty and injustice, he matured far too early. Betrayal, oppression, and the brutal truths of human nature shaped him into a man who didn’t believe in ideals, only outcomes.

Instead, he chooses a darker path of manipulation, deception, and psychological warfare. With charm, wit, and a sharpened sense of control, he begins his campaign not to conquer the world... but to rewrite it. He is not a savior. He is not a tyrant. He is the answer to a question the world was too afraid to ask. In a world teetering on collapse, can Shidaken bend fate to his will? Or will he, like so many before him, be swallowed by the current he seeks to control?
