Cod Ranked Cheating

[Rising Star 2 entry] In a world defined solely by strength, Devon's family is undeniably amongst the strongest. Devon himself isn't even F-rank- He can't even tame a slime. "Your weakness is a stain on my family. The only use you have left is as my meal!" His father shouted as he devoured him. Reincarnated as a servant in a different continent, Devon finds that he's been revived with an SSS rank skill: [Corruption - Rank: SSS - Tame any beast by corrupting them. Beasts will gain intelligence and power based on the user's rank.] [Beast: Juma collected. Level: 0/20.] With this skill, he not only tames beasts but corrupts them, bending them to his very will-perfect for revenge. With a fire set ablaze in his heart, he vowed to do one thing with this new life, "I'll make you pay, 'Father'." -2 daily updates at 10 am est and 5 pm est.-

Following the world's greatest catastrophe—which nearly led to the apocalypse—the revelation of the skills to utilize magic and supernatural powers were brought to light. They, who were chosen by the stones were called the Ability Holders. With the globe entering a new era, an Academy specializing and entirely dictated for ability users was established. At this academy, abilities are evaluated and ranked based on how they influence the world. Gleren Stasis, a F-rank student at this academy—due to a certain circumstances—was forced to covertly work for an organization that preserves global harmony and balance; a pacifist and a nonchalant boy who would rather idle his days watching anime and play games than to do anything bothersome. However, one day with the arrival of Maria, the vampire princess—his wishful and peaceful days came crashing down. Maria as the Last Vampire was a special existence for which she was constantly sought after by her enemies. With such danger always lurking about the Vampire Princess, Gleren Stasis—a F-ranked student at Saint Stella Academy—was tasked with protecting her at all costs without disclosing the truth about himself(?). Will his life thoroughly change—or will he be the one to change the life of the vampire princess? This story revolves around the life of an underwhelming boy and the one's he had sworn to protect.

Learning lost magic from ancient masters, he'll surpass his classmates and become the true savior Aethel needs. But can he overcome the dangers of the past and present to forge his own destiny? While others studied about the first mage, William could go back in time and see the first mage himself! While others dreamed of seeing a dragon, William could go back in time, hatch a legendary dragon egg and turn it into his puppy. While others used common materials to craft their items, William could go back in time and mine materials that weren't find anywhere in Aethel anymore. Is it unfair? Perhaps, but William was not the type of person to not use the powers the universe gave him.

The strongest fight for fame and fortune, but there's one problem: while the world is teeming with S-ranked prodigies, one Rank F hero, Rin Park, seems to always end up saving the day—accidentally.

But unbeknownst to everyone, Rin has a peculiar gift: he attracts bad luck. If there's a powerful enemy, they will somehow end up stumbling upon Rin, often resulting in a chaotic, explosive battle where Rin emerges victorious… by sheer accident.

A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far. [Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.] [Assimilation Started...]

The century long war had just ended and humanity had managed to get their hands on alien technology, sending them years ahead in terms of technological advancement, fulfilling their hope of finding life outside their planet and their desire to dominate these extra-terrestrial existences. The effects of their technological advancement alone wasn’t capable of giving this result.

Sion, a young betrayed college student who saw his world engulfed in an otherworldly flame and overrun by monsters and creatures that one would believe only existed in myths, was transported to a new and completely unfamiliar realm when he was on the brink of death.   In a realm where monsters and mythical beasts roamed freely, where the unimaginable was possible and survival of the fittest prevailed for most, he found himself with an opportunity.

He became an entirely new person, and an opportunity to build his own nation presented itself to him when he realized that not everything was as it seemed, especially with the new identity he had gained and a talent that was one of a kind and rare, one with an uncertain path, one which no other had: the unique talent "SSS—Ranked Beast Master: Summoner's Phantom."

You know that one guy in every story? The one nobody notices, nobody remembers, and nobody cares about? Yeah. That’s me. Or at least, that’s who I am now. My name was Kang Jin-ho, I am a loser punching bag in my old world. I worked a dead-end job, got screwed over by my coworkers, and died like a joke trying to save someone from a damn truck. But instead of disappearing into oblivion, I woke up in a world I knew all too well: Battleborn Academy, the setting of the brutal SSS+ difficulty novel I once read. Sounds cool, right? Wrong. I wasn’t reborn as the hero. I wasn’t even the villain. I got stuck as a nameless extra, weak, sickly, and about as important to the story as a piece of background furniture. But life has a twisted sense of humor, because even if this world’s hell, I’ve got one advantage: I know everything about it. The plot twists. The hidden quests. The betrayals. And most importantly, the things nobody else knows are the broken pieces of power lurking beneath the surface. It starts with my Status Window, the kind you’d find in a game, except my stats are garbage. But there’s one thing it doesn’t mention: my cheat ability, Devourer. Kill monsters and absorb their powers. Sounds simple, right? Except nothing in this world is simple. Every step toward power costs me my sanity, my humanity, maybe even my soul. Now I’m stuck at Battleborn Academy, surrounded by heroes and monsters in disguise. There’s Lee Yuna, the cold genius who hates my guts but might just be the most dangerous person here. There’s Jang Hyuk-rin, a charismatic prodigy with a tragic past and plans that’ll burn the world down. And don’t even get me started on the shadowy puppeteer pulling the strings behind it all. I’ve got to survive, manipulate the plot, and stay two steps ahead of a world that’s designed to kill me. Because if there’s one thing I learned the hard way, it’s this: second chances don’t come free. I’m not the hero of this story. But I’ll be damned if I die a background character again.

Lan Sol was a beta tester for an open-world survival strategy game called *Global Ice Age Survival*. The game had only released its beta version over the years, with no sign of a public release anytime soon. The premise of the game was simple: Upgrade the campfire—the most crucial source of warmth and the heart of the territory—build various structures, recruit workers, and survive in the frozen world. Sounds boring? Not quite. The game featured monsters, magic, dungeons, and numerous kingdoms scattered across multiple continents. Players could ally with kingdoms, conquer them, or even dominate the entire world. The ultimate goal? Transform a medieval-themed kingdom into a modern, automated one. The game was difficult but oddly satisfying. Lan Sol had finally achieved a 100% completion rate. He eagerly awaited the official release, excited to conquer the game once more. But when he woke up the next day, he found himself in a snowy wasteland. A cold wind howled as the world around him lay blanketed in white. It was so cold that it felt as though the sun no longer existed. It didn’t take long for him to realize he had been transported into the very game he had played for over a year. And he wasn’t alone—every individual on Earth had been transported to this icy world. Waking up next to a campfire, Lan Sol began his journey by upgrading it, knowing it was the first step to survival. Before long, he discovered he had received an exclusive reward: an SSS+ ranked talent.
