Patrick Rothfuss Prologue

The world is rotting, infested by something known as the rot. The only salvation in this world is something known as the facility, a housing run by the Church Lords. Entering into a world of rot, deities of bygone eras and forbidden knowledge. Where a harrowing tale unfolds. Our protagonist Konrad, who never knew anything but the Doctrine, faces a world of terrors and rotting creatures. Will he survive? Where it came from, or where it would go—these remain a mystery. And albeit an issue, it was much easier for the people of the earth to submit to the fear, rather than attempt to conquer whatever terrifying thing lay on the other side - they knew its futility. Some would yell, some would cry - all would pray to the earth beneath them, and the heavens above them. A deity would listen, heed their words. Who was it that heard them? Read the prologue: Chapter 1 -> 14:

In 2134, visionary inventor Katai Sousaku pushes the boundaries of technology. Still, when his past resurfaces, it threatens not only his life's work but the world as he knows it.

What happens if the one transcendent being that cares for mortals fell and got a second chance in a world full of magic, intrigue and possibly even friendships? Does the past determine the future or are we all able to pick our own destiny? An angel, one of the two nigh immortal species in existence, has been hunted and killed by his own kind because he wasn’t prepared to watch silently while his people followed their own desires to whatever end. When, against all odds, he opened his eyes again, he was someone else, his past and powers hidden deep within him. On an ancient world, with advanced magic but medieval technology, he was reborn as Cassandra Pendragon, the youngest daughter of one of the five royal families on Boseiju, the home of the fox tribe, the kitsune. As she grew up, who she was and who she had been, started shaping her future. Forgotten friends and unknown enemies began knocking at her door and while she struggled to find her way between the past and the present, the winds of war were already blowing across her home. I‘ll try to publish at least 2 chapters a week, probably more. The first story arc is pretty much mapped out. Should be around 150 or 160 chapters for the first volume (it’s taking much longer than I expected) and the second one is nearly finished as well. Try it, it should be one hell of a ride. One more thing: the first two chapters are more or less a prologue and if you want to, you can skip them, I wouldn’t recommend it, though. The writing style as well as the perspective shifts dramatically, afterwards. As for trigger warnings: it’s going to get gory from time to time, and the MC often has to pay a toll in blood. Additionally there are -mildly- sexualised scenes, once in a while, but nothing graphic. Lastly, somewhen webnovel changed the description box from female lead to female oriented. It’s mandatory and I can’t change it either way but I have no clue if the book is catering male or female preferences. I hope the description above makes up for whatever confusion it might cause.

"So... well... I died as it seems? Then I woke up as a character from an online science fiction game... And the craziest thing was that I was in my personal spaceship... Aside from that, I have this weird gaming system bugging me with missions and stuff... So... finally, something interesting happened in my life at last. At least now, I am unbound by anything and can do as I wish." - Acturus Al-Yesod Crawford "In the grim darkness of the endless space, there is only one sole constant that has ruled the space since immemorial, that dictated the life and death, the order and chaos of every single living being.

Synopsis: Takeshi Mori, a aimless 40 year Japanese man having retired early in life with riches now wonders through the empty city streets at midnight as usual wondering what to do with his life, but that is all shattered as while looking up momentarily he sees an unfathomably big eye staring down at him, with one blink to check if he's too sleep deprived he is gone in an instant. And when his eyes open again, a forest greets him as searing pain jolts him wide awake as on the back of his right hand is a branded symbol of a shield. What happened? Where is he? What is the mark on his hand and what are the increasingly loud howls and growls he can hear coming his way? Story takes place in a fantasy world called Ender with high level magic, fantastical races such as Fae, demons, angels, Undead, merfolk, beast man and more. It'll also have some romance but it'll be a slow burn and i mean SLOW burn. Also i would recommend reading the prologue to get the whole picture and not just jumping into chapter 1. And just a reminder but this is not just a story but the life of the character that is Takeshi Mori, so there isn't just random conflict constantly or too unexpected plot points and progression, i want to make it realistic as i can without boring you guys too much but it's my story so i can do whatever the hell i want. Either stay or leave. Person 1: Hey do you know where my dandelion is? Person 2: Um it's just over there. That's Your Dandelion right? Absolute Cinema: Those who know

There wasn't much to be said about the life of Akhil—at the age of 8, he lost his father at the hands of his most trusted business partner, who was also on his way to becoming the world's richest businessman. This left Akhil with no option but to use that traitor's daughters as a means to kill that man—a rather typical story where the main character takes revenge on his father's killer by making both of killer's daughters yandere. Of course, this wasn't a random fantasy story where he could just reach someone like the world's richest man—sitting at the highest point of the hierarchy—so the most he could do was act as the kind child he once was to those girls and slowly build trust and obsession, which finally bore fruit, and Akhil died. Indeed, how could he even be able to kill a man who possessed that amount of wealth? So, he died in front of both of those women—making sure that they saw him bloodied and dead..... The End. Or at least this was what should have happened. DING! [ SUPREME YANDERE SYSTEM —Tada!! ] He opened his eyes inside the body of the Emperor of a ruined kingdom at the edge of the Human Zone—a group of three continents where humans lived while under constant attack from the threat of the 7 Demon Gods—and found himself in a sick body. A kingdom that was nearly collapsing due to corruption, the presence of holy light bearers—Heroes and Heroines—and a world filled with artifacts and fragments scattered around the bloodline—he who needed to lift the whole kingdom up again, hold the reign of a broken kingdom, and move forward. Now born as King Lysanderic Aleria Vandreat, he has only the support of his Supreme Yandere System. Oh, he awakened it too, but when did he? Read the Story... [: The main character is cruel, and there will be darkness in his actions, so enjoy the light in the first ten chapters (those are before he was reborn) and smile as you see the comedy and slight introductions to the characters. ] [ Suggestion: If you hate clichés, then skip to Chapter 10. (Yes, the previous chapters are a prologue, but they are important for understanding the main character and his future artifacts. Ahem.) ]

*Prologue* As sunset painted the horizon, the family of four embarked on their journey, excitement radiating from the car. Twin sisters Emma and Emily chattered in the backseat, their contrasting personalities shining through. Emma, the introverted twin, was selective with her words, only opening up around family, while Emily bubbled with enthusiasm. Jack turned to engage the girls, oblivious to the speeding car ahead. Tragedy struck without warning. Screeching tires, shattered glass, and chaos engulfed them. The car crashed, sending Emma flying out of the vehicle. When dust settled, Jack and Sarah lay motionless, their lives slipping away. Emily, dazed and terrified, frantically searched for Emma, but she vanished. Unbeknownst to Emily, Emma's fate took a mysterious turn. A bystander, witness to the accident, rushed to her aid, whisking her away to an uncertain destiny. Was Emma truly saved, or did her rescue herald a new era of challenges? *Eight Years Later* Emily thrived in a world of privilege, surrounded by loving adoptive parents.

To my new readers: Check below for important info. Chapter 1 - 8 of the novel is essentially just a prologue of the novel and it does not impact it too much, so you can skip it if you're averse to things like torture or anything that could induce negativity. Then again, I am not saying that chapter 1 to chapter 8 are less important but some readers might not like it as I've discovered. So I thought about putting it here just in case.

DISCLAIMER: I am currently revising and rewriting this novel from scratch. As long as this disclaimer is still here, it means it's still being revised. It is exclusively only being polished here on Webnovel. So if you read it on another site (that stole from here), then those sites will only have the outdated versions. Latest revision: October 2024 ----- Li Tian is the hottest young male artist within the South of Huaxia. With his stunning good looks and sultry deep voice, people all around can’t help but swoon. Not to mention being a member of the renowned Li Family and born with a silver spoon, a deep arrogance was ingrained into his bones. Hardly a likable character, but hey, he is THE Li Tian. And life is great for our adorable Tian Tian. Unfortunately, not just readers dislike our arrogant ML. Included in his filthy rich lifestyle is a sea full of sharks that just can’t wait for the moment he bleeds a little. Thus he needs to find a way to get away from it all. A way to blend in with the crowd and be... someone else. Obviously with his obnoxious attitude, being low profile and reigning in his tongue is ANYTHING but easy... _______________________________ This is a prologue to Undercover Superstar: A Song of Pyros and Snowflakes Thus I plan on finishing it as soon as possible!

Prologue I always hated my life. Bland, uninspired, a loop of mediocrity. My mornings started with the sound of a cheap alarm clock and ended with sleepless nights haunted by dreams of a better life—dreams that never came true. Life was cruel, unfair, and unrelenting. But even in my wildest nightmares, I never imagined that dying would be my gateway to something worse. When I opened my eyes again, I wasn’t in the comfort of my dingy apartment. No peeling wallpaper. No stack of ramen cups piled up on the table. Just a cold, cavernous room dripping with opulence, the kind only an aristocrat could afford. At first, I thought it was a lucid dream or some twisted afterlife. Then, I caught my reflection in a massive gilded mirror. Long, dark hair. Sharp features with an almost cruel beauty. Eyes that radiated arrogance and menace. I knew that face. Anyone who played "The Princess is in love with me" knew that face. Killian Nux, the Major Antagonist of the story, destined to be defeated by the plucky protagonist and his harem of magical misfits. He wasn’t just a villain—he was the villain. The one everyone loved to hate. And now... I was him. Great. Just great. If reincarnation was supposed to give me a second chance, someone really screwed up. I didn’t just end up in a fantasy world; I landed right in the middle of a sadistic dating sim known for its brutal difficulty and relentless drama. In the game, Killian Nux wasn’t just a spoiled noble. He was a monster. An overpowered, sadistic tyrant feared and hated by everyone. His fall was as inevitable as the sunrise. By the end of the story, his power, his pride, his very existence was crushed under the protagonist’s boot. If I didn’t want to meet the same fate, I needed to change everything. But fate had other plans. To survive in this world, I had to attend the Olympus Academy, the melting pot of heroes, heroines, villains, and victims. The place where the story began. The place where Killian's path to ruin was set in stone. And it gets better—or worse. Because walking into that academy means meeting him. The Protagonist. That righteous, golden-haired beacon of hope destined to unite everyone against me. Along with him come the Main Heroines—the princess, the knight, the healer, the mage—and even the Villainess, the one character I might have been able to rely on if Edward hadn’t been such a bastard to her in the original game. So what am I supposed to do? Watch the Protagonist steal the spotlight, woo every girl in sight, and forge his path to glory? No. I’m not playing by the game’s script. If I’m destined to be the villain, then so be it. But I won’t go down quietly. If Killian Nux is supposed to fall, he’ll do so as the strongest, most feared villain this world has ever seen. After all, if I’m going to live in this hellhole of a game, I might as well make it my story.

In the shadowy streets of Italy, where loyalty was a currency and power was a game, Alessandro De Luca ruled with an iron fist. As the formidable leader of the De Luca mafia family, he commanded respect and inspired fear. But Alessandro's life was about to take an unexpected turn. A debt of honor, forged in blood and tradition, bound him to marry the beautiful and innocent Sophia Bianchi. Their families' alliance would secure peace and strengthen the De Luca empire. Sophia, however, was unaware of the arrangement. Her world was about to shatter. As she stood at the threshold of her destiny, Sophia faced a daunting choice: obey her family's wishes or risk everything for freedom. Little did she know, Alessandro's world was just as complicated. The weight of his legacy, the loyalty of his men, and the secrets of his past threatened to destroy the very foundation of their union. Their betrothal would ignite a firestorm of passion, loyalty, and deceit. Would Sophia surrender to the darkness of Alessandro's world, or would she become the light that transformed him? Prologue: (The scene sets the tone for the story, introducing Alessandro's ruthless leadership and Sophia's innocence.) Alessandro De Luca stood on the rooftop, gazing over the twinkling lights of Rome. His city. His kingdom. "Sir, the Bianchi family has agreed to the terms," his consigliere, Marco, said. Alessandro's gaze narrowed. "Ensure Sophia understands her role. She will be my wife, my partner, and my property." Marco nodded. "Yes, sir." In another part of the city, Sophia Bianchi laughed with her friends, her heart full of hope and dreams. Tonight, her life would change forever. ---
