Deconstruction Trope

The Former Dungeon Master's System

-Roll the Dice and Pay the Price. Cross-posted on Royal Road under the name - Luck of the Dice, and it is ahead there. If you want to read in advance, go to Royal Road and follow me there. No romance, straight action Miles Jorden has always been unlucky. In his everyday life, disaster seems to stalk him—jobs fall apart, accidents find him at every turn, and even the simplest plans go awry. Yet, there’s one place where luck never fails him: the gaming table. As a Dungeon Master for his group of friends, Miles rolls dice with uncanny precision, his natural 20s earning him a reputation as a force to be reckoned with in the tabletop world. After a particularly bad day—fired from his job and dumped on the same afternoon—Miles decides to lose himself in preparing his next campaign. While crafting an elaborate world for his players, he finds a peculiar set of dice tucked away in an old box. The dice glow faintly when he touches them, and before he can think twice, he rolls them. The numbers light up, and suddenly, Miles finds himself pulled into a world eerily similar to the one he created for his game. Miles is isekaied into the very fantasy realm he designed, but there’s a twist: he’s not a hero or adventurer—he’s the Dungeon Master, wielding immense power to influence the world but unable to directly intervene. His dice-rolling luck becomes his greatest weapon, allowing him to manipulate reality through the same rules he used in his games. Yet, the world is in chaos, with factions rising, monsters running rampant, and an ominous evil threatening to consume everything. To survive and save this world he inadvertently made, Miles must master his newfound role, gather allies, and navigate the very tropes and pitfalls he once used to torment his players. For the first time, his flawless dice rolls aren’t just a party trick—they’re the only thing standing between order and total destruction. In a twist of fate, Miles’ unlucky life has given him the ultimate chance to prove himself in a world where the stakes couldn’t be higher

There’s no greater fun than deconstructing every opponent and predicting twenty of their moves in advance. And, Classmancers is the ideal stage for such psychological warfare, for it’s a sport in which game theory reigns supreme. At least, usually, it does. There are also goofs like Lars, who got -200 IQ, yet boast godlike mechanical skill that triumphs against all odds. He’s like your typical OPMC which a cheat, except the cheat does nothing for his intellect. Yuel and Lars are like water and fire. In other words, 100% compatible! That’s why they form an unlikely duo and set out to dominate Classmancers’ competitive scene! However, to challenge their OPness, the two will run into rivals who are just as OP! Some of them will turn their teammates immune to Yuel’s psychological attacks, while others will redirect Lars’s almighty strength against himself. In this harsh environment, the two will keep struggling, struggling, and struggling some more, following their promise to reach the pro scene. ------------------------------------- NOTE: Since the site doesn't support italics yet, I'll be using [text] tags for thoughts in this version of the story.

Rebirth of Hopes

Dear Readers, Before diving into the story synopsis, let me introduce you to an exciting world of interconnected tales, each exploring different themes and ultimately coming together in a grand narrative. Welcome to the Shadowverse: An Epic Interconnected Universe I’m thrilled to introduce you to the Shadowverse, an expansive and experimental universe where stories and characters are deeply interconnected. Within this universe, I’ve created three distinct narratives, each with its own rich journey and character development. While each story concludes with a proper and satisfying ending, they all contribute to a grander narrative that reaches its peak in the final chapters of Rebirth of Hope. 1. Rebirth of Hope (Fantasy and Adventure: New Tropes) In a fractured world, powerful bloodlines clash in a deadly tournament to rebuild the Alderson Disk, Earth’s last hope for survival. As alliances shift and rivalries intensify, a prophecy looms, foretelling a savior who will guide humanity’s fate. The future of Earth hangs in the balance as the tournament unfolds. 2. Shadow Ascension (Villain) Delve into the rise of darkness within the Shadowverse as ambitious figures seize power through any means necessary. This story explores the motivations and machinations of those who will stop at nothing to reshape the world in their image, setting the stage for an epic confrontation. 3. The Obsidian Voyage (System) Embark on a daring journey across uncharted realms as explorers seek the lost secrets of an ancient civilization. The stakes are high, as the knowledge they uncover could either save their world or doom it, with every decision impacting the broader Shadowverse. Throughout these tales, you’ll discover references and connections between the stories, which I will highlight in the chapters where they appear. These connections weave a complex and engaging web that leads to a thrilling conclusion in the Shadowverse. I hope you enjoy this new experimental concept as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it. Your support and feedback are invaluable as we explore this universe together! Welcome to the Shadowverse where every story matters, and where your adventure is just beginning. Story Synopsis: In a future where Earth lies in ruins, the destruction of the Alderson Disk has left the planet shattered, with half of it uninhabitable. The remaining half is divided into 14 nations, each ruled by powerful bloodlines with unique abilities tied to ancient weapons. These bloodlines have governed their lands for centuries, but survival is becoming increasingly difficult as resources dwindle and the wasteland encroaches. The only hope lies in a prophecy that foretells the Reborn Disk, a tournament to choose a warrior who will guide humanity in reconstructing the Alderson Disk. However, there is a lingering fear that the prophecy might be wrong, and the chosen warrior could be the very force of pure evil that leads to destruction instead. Thorne Malrath, a warrior from the Malrath bloodline, is skeptical of this prophecy but finds himself thrust into the tournament, where the stakes are higher than ever. Beyond the shattered lands live the Outlanders, non-bloodline survivors who have mastered science and technology. They seek to rebuild the Alderson Disk for their own survival, leading to a clash of ideologies with the bloodline warriors. As both groups race to gather the vast resources needed, they must confront ancient secrets, deadly creatures, and the vast challenges that lie ahead. The story follows Thorne, King Tiberius, Olivia, Garek,Lucien, and other powerful warriors as they navigate a world where science and magic collide. They must unite with the Outlanders to rebuild the Alderson Disk, but mistrust and old grudges threaten their fragile alliance. With the future of Earth hanging in the balance, the final battle will determine whether the world is reborn or falls into chaos.

Life Of A Nobody - as a Villain

This is the tale of an average nobody, who after his death got transmigrated in a new world. The memories of his average life flashed before his eyes, as he found nothing that was noteworthy about him. So in this new world should he try to change that, should he wish to be supreme, rise to the peak or to rule the heavens, but he's too lazy for that. "And how come all the names are so familiar. Don't tell me, am I in that novel?" Soon after waking up he realised this world was based upon the very first novel he read years ago. At first he felt happy that finally something unexpected happened in his life. But that happiness was short lived as he remembered the plot of the book and the crisis that was coming for the world. If that wasn't enough he was living in the body of Rio Raven Blake - avatar of Nyx. Known by his other names like The last dark spawn, The first fallen or The infamous Devil. In a world brimming with dungeons, towers, Gods, Demons, monsters and magic - our MC finds himself trapped in the body of the last villain. "I don't care about the novel plot, I'll just ignore it, and live my life peacefully." At least that was his plan, until he heard a voice in his head , that he's been waiting for all this time. [DING] [TING] [TIDING] [DID YOU MISS ME??? ] 'The great villain system, what a funny name.' You can earn points by ruining the plotlines, and can get whatever you want. Let me see, I'm a master at messing things up. [What, someone is going to do a prophecy that I will become the villain after growing up - kill him while he's still a kid.] [what, this potion was made for the protagonist and the alchemist heroine - I'll take it with me.] [ohh you're the one who saves the protagonist when he was about to die - go to prison, you traitor.] [wait, you have a sister. but she is sick and needs help - here take this potion and work for me.] Got a money making slave for life. [What, my parents are fixing my engagement with the princess, who's also a main heroine, but will betray me later and help everyone kill me - Humph...just you wait...] Once the plot started many years later, at the academy entrance exam. Protagonist was shining brightly, breaking all records, taking first rank, but no one was talking about him. As the news came out that the genius of humanity Rio Blake, will be joining the academy too. Not only mortals, even Gods and Demons were surprised at this sudden development too. {Nyx nods at her believers achievements} {Odin says you've grown a lot} {Gauri/Kali challenges you to fight her believer} {Jesus prays for your souls redemption} {Anubis awaits your enemies doom} {Lucifer writes down your lines, as you take on the Devil persona} The protagonist just stared at the guy who took all the limelight from him, but his surprise turned to shock, when his sister ran and hugged the man, while crying her eyes out, saying she missed him and she was sorry. "What is happening? Who is he? {Apollo curses...} ## -- A/N - 1) NO HAREM. (I believe in soulmate love 2) MC doesn't care about right, wrong, good, evil - as long as he gets what he want, he'll do it. 3) He hates the so called righteous hypocrites, so don't think he'll be friends with protagonist. 4) MC is serious when it comes to relationships, so don't expect any kind of pokemon collection harem. 5) MC hates the plot, so he'll ruin it. Do not expect him to follow it or him trying to keep it same as written. 6) I don't like hiding my strength tropes, so not happening. He will be OP, and a badass. ## -- Join my discord for character arts and discussions https://discord.gg/zFTJsYP7kM DevilDarkness#0506

The Outsider’s Requiem: A Mercenary's Meta Quest

Lumumba, a young black student living abroad, is trapped in a world where he is constantly harassed, humiliated, and treated as an outsider. Bullied at school, ignored by teachers, and abandoned by the very people who should protect him, Lumumba is drowning in a sea of hatred and loneliness. As the insults pile up, his bitterness grows—until one day, an incident pushes him too far. In a violent confrontation, his world comes crashing down, but instead of meeting his end, Lumumba is thrust into a brutal new reality. Waking in a strange, war-torn fantasy world, Lumumba is reborn as Ubuntu, a powerful anti-hero with extraordinary regenerative abilities, mastery of combat, and a newfound indifference to pain. But Ubuntu is no ordinary warrior. He knows he’s part of a story, breaking the fourth wall to comment on the absurdities of the world around him, mocking the tropes of the genre while carving his own chaotic path. Driven by his rage and desire for revenge, Ubuntu's quest becomes twofold: to dominate this new world and find a way back to exact revenge on those who made his life hell. But as he cuts through enemies, manipulates the rules of this new universe, and confronts his old life with newfound powers, Ubuntu must grapple with his own morality—or lack thereof. In this darkly comedic, meta-aware isekai tale, justice and chaos walk hand in hand, and the line between hero and villain blurs into nothing. In a world where rules don’t apply, what happens when the outsider becomes the ultimate force of destruction?

Curiosity of God

NOTE: Chapters are LONG, ~10X normal. When college physics student Mizuki Hakuto faces the obligatory bus-kun death of all isekai protagonists, he's brought face-to-face with a divine entity. When not mocking Mizuki, the so-called godling explains the nature of the universe – gods, godlings, mythical beasts, and more. Most importantly, magic is real. Just...not on Earth. Inspired by Earth's manga and having a penchant for drama, the godling offers him the opportunity to experience these things on a different world. The world is ruled by a strange god that treats it like a divine petri dish, and it's filled with interesting creatures the god collected from all across the universe. The god of this strange planet seems welcoming and helpful at first, but Mizuki quickly realizes that all is not as it seems in the magical world of Azura. Wielding science and newfound sorcery, Mizuki investigates the fundamental laws of magic, the nature of the divine, and more, but his progress is watched in secret by powerful forces. As he gains knowledge and power, and his darker nature is revealed, will the gods sit idly by? FAQ: Q – What's the overall tone of this story? A – It seems pretty lighthearted at first, but the trajectory of the story makes it progressively darker. I'd say the story takes itself fairly serious at times, but the characters' personalities lend to plenty of comedic dialogue. Especially in the lull between major events. Q – Isekai tropes? A – Yes. Some are leaned into, some are mocked, but most make an appearance in some form. Q – Is the MC's prior life relevant? A – Yes! The MC relies heavily on knowledge specific to Earth, and especially his science background. The MC trying to reconcile his scientific understanding from Earth with this newfound variable of magic is a major theme of the story. Q – How is the MC isekai'd? Is he reincarnated? A – In the most tropey way possible, of course. He gets hit by a bus. After dying, he's resurrected in his original body and sent to another world as an adult. Q – Is there slavery in this isekai? A – Yes, and it's not a pretty industry. However, the MC detests the slavery on Azura. The story won't shy away from the effect it has on the lives of those the MC meets. This will not be one of those stories where the MC virtue signals about how bad slavery is, but inexplicably keeps slaves of their own and it's painted as 'good' because the slaves are 'treated well'. Q – Is the MC overpowered? A – Absolutely, but this will vary as the story progresses and the MC's frame of reference and knowledge changes. It's meant as a kind of transient 'incubation' phase for the MC, where we see how having seemingly absolute power affects his personality and decisions. It helps reveal his true, unrestricted self. Q – Is this another self-insert isekai story? A – I certainly think that's true of the MC early on in the series – it takes a while to learn much about his personal life on Earth or personality. We're watching an MC who seems to be a reactionary person on Earth, just going through the motions, necessarily develop more of a sense of self in a world where his actions are more consequential. Q – You tagged this as 'romance'...is there a harem? A – Yup. The MC eventually has two romantic partners, though one is a bit more dominant. So, think more Tsukimichi, less late-game Arifureta.

Law of Darkest Hours

You say, I killed your family and executed your nine generations? Do you have any proof? You claim I murdered your only love and stole all your treasure? Let me ask you this: what do you expect me to do? I can't just make all your troubles magically go away! And you say I destroyed the righteous path, unleashing criminals who have committed countless heinous sins, letting them wreak havoc while I supposedly plundered the ancient clans amid the chaos? That sounds like a skill issue to me! Truth to be told, I have this voice in my head telling me to do all these things. Do you see me complaining? No? Exactly! Matter of fact, I'm the real victim here... - - - What comes to your mind when you hear the word 'Villain'? Evil, cunning, cruel? This the reality Ling Ming faces after being reborn into Another World. And not just any World, but one from a fantasy novel he had read in his previous life. Starting anew as one of its characters, Ling Ming lacks the extraordinary status or overwhelming talent typical of many tropes. Destined to perish, he realizes his path will be paved with the blood of innocents, just like the original. However, he didn’t mind getting his hands dirty to achieve his new, profound ambition. "Life is but a fleeting moment! If one can't achieve Eternal Life, what is the point of living if the mark you leave in annals of time is through your ashes? I refuse these heavenly arrangements!" .... Note: The MC has no morality or bottom line_ I have No rightful ownership over the cover, all rights belong to its original owner.
