(TLDR at the bottom) Jackson, a regular high school student, is tragically caught in the crossfire of a gunfight on his way to school and dies from his injuries in the hospital. When Jackson opens his eyes, he finds himself in an endless, grand library. After wandering the library, Jackson meets a man who introduces himself as Brakos, the primordial spirit of time, stories, and knowledge. Brakos explains that the multiverse is real, and he enjoys watching people use their imagination to create stories and embark on grand adventures. Brakos saw great potential in Jackson and was excited, but saddened when Jackson was shot. He made arrangements for Jackson's soul to enter the library after his death. Still processing everything, Jackson asks Brakos, "What is going to happen to me now?" Brakos replies “Well that's up to you Jackson, I am offering you the chance to become an Isekai character in any world of your choosing.” Jackson is shocked by Brakos's offer and takes a moment to process everything, while Brakos patiently smiles at him. “Jackson suddenly says, "Okay, but I have a few questions first." Brakos smiles and agrees to answer Jackson's questions, and for a while, Jackson asks one question after another, with Brakos responding to each. After hours of questioning, Jackson takes some time to think and then says something that surprises Brakos. Jackson requests to be reincarnated in a magical world with three powers: the ability to summon spirits and form contracts with them, the ability to use special abilities contained in books we create together and to be reborn as a Primogenitor—a being capable of creating and leading a new race. Brakos stands speechless, wide-eyed, making sure he heard Jackson's request correctly. Brakos looks at Jackson, smiling to himself, thinking that he may have found someone capable of surpassing his expectations. Brakos laughs and agrees to fulfill Jackson's wish, but warns him that becoming a Primogenitor in that world is dangerous. The race he creates will depend on his actions, and other Primogenitors may try to kill him and claim his creation. Jackson smiles, assuring Brakos that he has a plan to create his race and protect himself. As he explains his strategy, Brakos is amazed by the creativity and ingenuity of Jackson's ideas. Brakos asks, "I understand, but I have one question: What will you name the race you create?" Jackson smiles and declares, "This race shall be known as the Draconians." _____________ TLDR Jackson is a person that reincarnates into another world as a primogenitor (they are creators/first of a race like Adam and Eve are the first humans in the bible) and brings forth a new race called the Draconians. A special type of dragon. To create this race he gains a special book that can alter reality and allow him to change parts of his race. To most, it will look like he is taking notes about an existing race but in reality, he is changing the race itself. Follow Jack as he learns about the world he lives in now as he goes to a magic school, gains the powers of spirits and even becomes the creator of a brand new race that can fight against the gods themselves. _____________ Not a harem or romance novel.

Ethan groggily opened his eyes and found himself standing in the middle of an enormous forest, surrounded by towering trees and dense foliage. Confusion washed over him. "Where am I? What is this place?" he muttered to himself, trying to make sense of his surroundings. A voice echoed in his mind, breaking the silence.

Ethan asked, his eyes darting from side to side, searching for the source of the voice. [I am an artificial intelligence, or more accurately, what you would call a 'system' on Earth. I'll be with you until you become invincible.] Ethan's mind raced. "The last thing I remember is being in my room... How did I end up here?" he thought to himself, trying to recall the events that led him here. The system provided an answer. [You were caught in the crossfire of an interdimensional battle between two primordial gods, resulting in your immediate death.] [As compensation for their mistake, the gods have decided to grant you system privileges.] The voice paused for a moment before continuing.

"Fear is the unknown. The uncertainty of what lies ahead, the dark spaces where shadows dance and whispers linger. For me, fear wasn’t death or failure—it was the echo of a life left behind and a new one uncertain and slippery. Reborn as a slime, I became the lowest of the low, the first target of every adventurer’s blade. Funny thing, though: it’s not the fear of being squished that keeps me up at night. It’s not knowing why I’m here or what I’m supposed to do. When a desperate escape led me to stumble upon a dead demon, everything changed. Absorbing its essence granted me abilities I barely understand, powers that came with strings attached. Now, people beg me to full-fill their dark, twisted wishes—each one revealing the depths of human greed and the cost of power. But here’s the kicker: I’m not even a real demon. And every wish brings me closer to a purpose I can’t quite grasp, yet further from the simple survival I once craved. In a world where every action is a gamble and every choice a potential disaster, my only option is to keep moving forward. After all, what’s life—slimy or otherwise—without a little uncertainty?"

He’s just another pawn. Another fool who will dance when I pull the strings. Watch him. Watch as he dupes himself (literally), manipulates markets, and tries to bend the world—and me—to his will. Think he’ll win? Think he’ll survive the alien glyphs, the intergalactic powers watching his every move, or the tiny voice whispering in his mind that maybe, just maybe, I’m right? Oh, you poor thing. You’ve already lost. Go on. Read his story. Cheer for him. Hope for his success. I’ll be here, laughing. It’s what I do best.”
