New World, New Life: I Became A Bigshot In The Ancient World

Excerpt Aristia could not help but stare at the platinum blonde a few steps in front of her. She seemed to sparkle with a glow that drew people in around her. Something that only happened to the main character of a novel. [Is that stupid book sure I'm the female lead?] She thought, her jaws almost going slack. At this point, she was sure she was deluding herself— or the book was deluding her. She didn't know why, but she already disliked the girl. [This is definitely not jealousy.] She rubbed her brows, watching how the innocent, naive looking girl exuding female lead aura was being flocked around already by others despite her low status. "Fuck, I'm really in deep shit!" — Aristia Andrews had just returned home from work and prepared to go to sleep, when she was given a novel. Nothing strange about that though, huh? But just after she had completed the novel, she woke up to find herself tossed into a whole new world. Taken from her world and the life she deemed perfect, and tossed into a not-so-ideal world. She becomes Aristia Amberale, the beloved five year old daughter of the only Grand Duke and Imperial Prince of the kingdom, said to be loved by all in the kingdom. Now part of royalty, she has to get accustomed to living in a backward world of Kings and Queens, Dukes, Marquises, Earls, Viscounts and Barons. Just the titles and hierarchy were enough to make her smart head spin. With beautiful and loving parents and relatives, a hopelessly adorable younger brother who just might be a sis-con, loyal-to-the-death servants, and a smart brain, join Aristia as she enjoys eating and making delicious cuisines, forms unique friendships, and creates successful businesses. However, she finds all is not as she thought it was; there just might be something bigger than she expected that the book did not reveal— something that could turn her well balanced world upside down. First of all, she discovers that her character is actually hated and not loved. Then, she finds out she's not really the female lead. Now... she has a lot of mysteries surrounding her to unfold, secrets to uncover, and a sad fate to avoid. But... "Hey, why are you looking at me with those eyes? The female lead is over there." "You, stop following me around, will you? You're supposed to hate me!" "Stay back, all of you! What's wrong with you?!" But most importantly... why are these obviously important characters not leaving her alone? And why was the cold, unloving soon-to-be Emperor of that powerful Empire paying attention to her instead of the female lead? It wasn't supposed to be like this...

All Scum Heroes Must Die

Nathan Beck was never meant to be a hero. Life chewed him up, spat him out, and left him hollow. A ghost in his own skin, haunted by grief and disillusionment. But death offered him something else: A new viewpoint. And a question no one else was asking. Now reborn as Hidesuke Shinohara, a forgotten, F-tier “hero” in the brutal world of Arc Zenith, he's granted an ominous, forbidden power: The Final Verdict System. It doesn’t hand out points. It doesn’t reward popularity. It exists for one reason alone: To pass judgment on the heroes who think they’re untouchable. In a world where saviors wear pretentious masks and villains are manufactured scapegoats, Hidesuke becomes the razor’s edge between false light and true shadow. As he climbs the twisted hierarchy of power, surveillance, and illusion, his blade becomes justice. As he hunts them one by one, his judgement zones carve truth into lies. Every sentence burns a legacy. Every sin carries a weight. And real justice finally gets a voice. - - - - - - - The alley was soaked, wall to wall with blood and rain. C-tier Hero "Rot" slammed Hidesuke through a rusted vent, sending shards of metal skittering across the floor. “You don’t get to judge me, you fucker!” he roared, face littered with ugly wounds and eyes wide with fury. Hidesuke coughed, blood in his teeth, and pushed himself up. “Thirty-five victims,” he rasped. “How many more must go down in silence before you feel any remorse?” Rot surged forward again, his palm bursting with hydroforce. Hidesuke didn't dodge. All conditions were met. It was time to end this. > “I bear witness.” Then the world around them split in half. Light scorched the pavement as the Judgment Zone warped reality, replacing every structure within the radius. The rain stopped midair. Sound bent in place. Everything froze except Hidesuke—and Rot, now locked inside with him. > “Violation of Article Nine.” > “You turned their lungs into breeding sites for your filthy worms.” Rot screamed, lunging again. But the chains found him first, wrapping around his legs, arms, throat. They hissed against his skin, burning through his armor and piercing his flesh. > “Sin Weight: 46.” > “Victim Count: 35.” > “Verdict confirmed.” Hidesuke walked toward him, limping slightly, voice steady. > “They desperately begged you for air. Yet you used them like lifeless objects.” > “Let this be your last breath.” His hand closed around the final seal. The glyphs flared red—then white. Veil didn’t get a last word. - - - - - - - [ ! ] If you've been looking for a story with a unique plot and background, congrats you've found the one. Don't waste any more time. Dive right in... p.s. try not to drown. [ ! ] Discord server dropping soon.

I Reincarnated as a Overpowered Demon Prince in Another World

Rae Wayne, a 17-year-old high school student, was your typical otaku—kind, hardworking, sneaky-smart, hopelessly romantic, and obsessed with manga about demon princes and fantasy harems. His ultimate dream? To be reborn as an all-powerful demon prince, feared and adored across the realms. One fateful day, while riding the bus with his three best friends, tragedy struck—a speeding train crashed into them. Just like that, their lives were over… or so it seemed. Rae awakens in a mysterious black void, face to face with the enigmatic and seductive Demon Goddess of Rebirth, who offers him a second chance at life. But not just any life—she grants him absolute, god-slaying power and reincarnates him into the body of Rae Voidheart, the Demon Prince of another world who has been in a coma for years. The moment Rae opens his eyes, the world trembles. His aura alone sends shockwaves through realms—demons, humans, angels, ancient gods, monsters, even the Primordial God of Creation feel his awakening. His power eclipses even the Demon King, his father, shaking the hierarchy of existence to its core. Now wielding unimaginable strength, charm, and magic, Rae sets off on a legendary journey through a vast world of swords, sorcery, and political intrigue. From dungeon crawling and slaying corrupted royalty to forging alliances with elves, beastfolk, dragons, angels, and goddesses, Rae embraces his new life with reckless joy and burning ambition. But things aren’t that simple. His three best friends have also been reborn—as Summoned Heroes of the human kingdom, destined to fight the demon race. A clash may be inevitable. Along the way, Rae builds a wild and diverse harem—from demon queens and rogue princesses to warrior goddesses and slave-turned-heroes, all captivated by his unpredictable charm and power. He laughs in the face of danger, challenges ancient gods for fun, and tears down kingdoms that stand in his way. As Rae Voidheart, the Overpowered Demon Prince, carves his legacy into history, one thing becomes clear: No hero, god, or monster can stop him. He is chaos incarnate. He is salvation and destruction. He is legend.

ARCADES

Kalamari always dreamed of ruling—but fate had other plans. In a world divided by power and shaped by war, five ancient kingdoms look to one force above all: the Overlord—a being of infinite wisdom and unfathomable power. Every kingdom has its own ruler, but only an Overlord commands the reverence of all. To earn that title, one must not only possess power, but also fulfill the ethic circle—a spiritual rite that requires the soul to overcome, or destroy, two other Overlords before ascension. The hierarchy is clear: A-Ranks are rulers, gods, and Masters. B-Ranks are elite warriors. C-Ranks serve as kingdom protectors. D-Ranks are apprentices in training. E and F-Ranks are the youngest—children learning the basics of combat and spirit control. Kalamari, once an F-Rank child, lost everything in the devastating war between the noble Arcadians and the ruthless Kings. His mother was among the countless victims. The Arcadians fell… and the Kings rose in dominance. Now, the King’s ruler—Veth—a furious and power-hungry A-Rank Master, seeks to claim the title of Overlord. He is violent, impatient, and determined to force the prophecy into reality, no matter the cost. Yet, Veth is missing one truth: The soul of the Overlord does not yield to violence. It follows the path of destiny. And destiny has chosen Kalamari. From the ashes of a lost kingdom rises an unlikely heir—one forged in grief, trained in secret, and born with a power neither he nor the world fully understands. Will Veth seize the title through bloodshed and dominance? Or will Kalamari unlock the truth within himself and rise as the Overlord the world truly needs? ---

Exceed!!

Long before the universe—existence—was created, there was nothing. An empty black void. A being, above all else, spawned in said void. It was the first ever to witness it from the beginning. Thier name, “Nova” or in other words, “God”. God created everything. Planets, stars, moons, space, time, constellations, concepts, ideas, all you can think about, God has made. But one planet was a special one…Earth. Earth is a large planet of life filled with 120 billion people living on one colossalcontinent named Jakiri, and God was proud but not satisfied. So with Earth, he made Heaven, Hell, and other realms that each have secrets born onto them. The Overworld, where Earth lies, is home to many creatures and things. One of God’s finest creations lives on Earth, humans, people. Both realms, Heaven and Hell, have a hierarchy of different classes of beings. Ranging from lowly Fiends to Devils on the side of Hell, and Angels to Deities for Heaven. Ever since creation, Heaven and Hell never been on one accord exactly, especially since The Half-a-Century Showdown between a Deity, named Michael..and a Devil, who goes by Azazel. Their fight was felt throughout all realms and started an eternal war between Heaven and Hell. Ever since then though, both realms of Angels and Demons turned their heads to Earth, where both sides of beings picked apart certain humans to gain and keep power over the years. These humans are known as Successors. Successors have been around for many, many years, and they keep evolving. “Exceed…the only way is up!!”

Reborn As A Villainous Cannon Fodder

I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes. I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain. My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly. But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity. Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens? With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die. I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.

Rank:Zero

Sera Vane is a sixteen-year-old "Rank Zero," openly labeled the worst rank in a culture that ranks everything in its pursuit of power. In the city of Velatrix, rankings dictate all aspects of life—school placement, social status, even access to clean water or decent housing. For Sera, it's a daily life of invisibility and humiliation at high-status Lunaris High, where walls themselves respond to student rank. She's the one in the gray jacket. The system failure. The punchline. But Sera is not who she seems. She's been suppressing random outbursts of energy since she was a kid—episodes she can't explain, filled with static interference, hot-hot equipment, or machinery that inexplicably turns off when she's around. Her sister Jin has begged her to keep quiet, stay hidden, and stay alive. The last time anyone saw her power manifest, someone died. As Sera drifts through school on a wave of taunts and exclusion, she discovers quiet friendship in Lio Dane—a friendly but seemingly low-ranking student who never once treats her like a ghost. Lio is actually a committed agent of an underground resistance, tasked with protecting her. For Sera isn't merely a statistical anomaly. She's a Sovereign-class Conduit—an ancient, feared source of power who can speed and shape energies flowing around her, including other people's abilities. When a synthetic foe attacks Lunaris High in what should've been a routine drill, the best students die. Spies are mobilized. The defense net crashes. But Sera, unranked and unarmed, steps forward—and reality is remade. Her power explodes to life, driving the foe away and bending reality's laws. For the very first time ever, the system recognizes her. And the system goes nuts. Headmistress Calaine Voss, the architect of the academy's ranking system, sees Sera as a threat and initiates the Strata Protocol—a black-budget program designed to put down renegade powers. But she's too late. Word of worldwide transformation seeded by Sera spreads, and a hidden network of retired Conduits and loyalists is reactivated. Lunch ladies, janitors, medics—those the system has all but forgotten are in line to join her. Through flashbacks, sabotage, and slow-cultivated allegiances, Sera learns the truth of her origins—and its terrible price. The regime murdered the last monarch she is now being asked to kill. The power that rests within her could liberate thousands—or enslave them. As Sera is born into the world, her grip on self slips. Everyone wants her to be something: a prophecy, a weapon, or a queen. But Sera doesn't want to be anyone's fate. She wants a life. A voice. A choice. In the confrontation, she battles Calaine with not vengeance but clarity. Sera addresses the ranking system deception and releases a power flash that disables the scanning infrastructure throughout the city. She refuses to insert another hierarchy there. Instead, she disappears—blending again into the populace, refusing power in an addicted society. But she is not lost. And she is not alone. We observe that at the end of the novel, Sera walks backstreets with her sister and Lio, her glyphs pale but not dead. Power hums in her flesh but no longer governs her. Because her rank is gone. But her legacy has only just begun.
