What People Trade For Dough

It is said that you shouldn't meet your heroes. Gehaldirah, a high elf of royal bloodline didn't have to meet the realm lord of High Heaven before he became disillusioned. His admiration for the paragon of the high elf race turned into hatred when he got some damning knowledge about why demons kept attacking his home and looting the sacred tree of life. His hatred for the realm lord turned to self-hatred for his weakness and mediocrity. Gehaldirah had a moment of introspection. He isn't at the bottom of the ladder in this strength-based hierarchy. He is a king of law, but that apparently isn't enough to guarantee your fate. His strength is also mediocre because it was granted to him because of his bloodline. He determined he had to change himself. He has to become better. He concocted a plan that is one part genius and one part greed. His plan for reincarnation led him to the trial of heaven that occurs every origin cycle. He needed Origin essence so he participated in the trial. He got more than he wanted from the trial. His plan for reincarnation would be a success after some adjustments. But now he has a different aim. He won't aim for just the realm lord. The realm lord has control of the High Heaven Realm. That isn't enough for Geraldirah anymore. He became greedier. He has his sight set on the movers and shakers of the Void Universe. Only the power to subvert the will of World Gods will do. The plan to create LEGION, the ultimate organism was then hatched. If one person cannot achieve something, what about a multitude of them? His journey will not be easy. He will have to overcome Celestials and their Celestial Supreme, Gods and their GodKings, Demon kings and their Demon gods. The Void Universe is full of obstacles that will like nothing more than to put an end to his path. It is not that they hate him. They will oppose him simply because the era of conquest is coming. There are no friends in the era of conquest. It is everyone for themselves. And he will use everything and everyone for the advancement of Legion. AUTHOR: I cannot promise that you will like it.

I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?

This story is about a boy who reincarnated in another world [I know this dosen't sounds new to you but...] To a fantasy world And he has a difficult time while living there... I want this isekai to be different from most of them, I want to show a side of another world that is not shown in most novels. The main character always gets some mega perks, or has the powers of a demon lord, or is some hero who has to defeat the demon lord. I got bored with it, I want to show what would happen if you, for example, were reincarnated in a small village somewhere on the outskirts of the kingdom, where there are no schools to teach children and because of that there are problems with using magic, or general craftsmanship or warrior training. Magic in this world is not as common as in other isekai, that is, it occurs normally but it is hard to learn it. Because of that, few people have the ability to have magic. [This is my first novel ever so please don't be angry, if I write something wrong pls] Overall in this isekai the main character will have a hard time and now the question is whether he will be able to survive in this world, and who he wants to become? The answer to this is still unclear...

The world was forever changed by the emergence of mana. Humanity split into two paths: those who awakened to its power, gaining superhuman abilities and becoming known as "Awakened," and those who remained unchanged, vulnerable to the mana-infused air that now choked the planet. To survive, mankind erected magical barriers around their cities, powered by mana stones mined from the earth. The Awakened ventured beyond the safety of these barriers, battling monstrous creatures that emerged from dimensional rifts and scavenging for resources. Jay, an orphan, toiled in the mines, his life deemed less valuable than the stones he extracted. At nineteen, a cave-in ended his short, harsh existence. But fate had other plans. He awoke reborn, not in the mines, but on a small, idyllic island, a mysterious system at his disposal. This system allowed him to trade his catches of fish for incredible rewards: experience points, stat boosts, even fantastical abilities. As Jay grows stronger, he discovers a shocking truth: he's not on some alien world, but on Earth. The island's air is not toxic, there are no monstrous beasts around. What happened in his absence? Driven by a thirst for answers and a desire to never again be weak, Jay embarks on a journey to uncover the secrets of this new world and forge his own destiny.

In a world where myth and mysticism have surged, the balance shifts. A century ago, Qi and Aura's return empowered animals and plants. Their hatred destroyed human civilization. Facing extinction, humans embraced professions: warriors, mages, knights, meat shields, assassins, pastors. Nations adopted unique roles rooted in culture. China had Taoists and swordsmen; the Norse drew from Thor and Odin. Humanity fought back, establishing small camps. Mysterious dungeons spawned elves, dwarves, orcs, ogres, demons, vampires. Clearing dungeons became crucial, but mysteries remained, with only five years since their emergence. Our protagonist, from Earth, transmigrated to Blue Star. Seeing the tragic situation of humans in this world, he was frightened as he didn't have anything. But as a transmigration gift, he gets a devil fruit: Krono Krono no Mi: Eternity. He began a journey of self-improvement. His goal: claim the realm's throne and make it his kingdom. Mysteries unfolded, challenges intensified. The timid protagonist had to evolve into a formidable leader to create his kingdom in this enigmatic land.

In the shadowy realm of magic and destiny, there exists a tale that defies all conventional understanding - the story of Aeburt, a young man once branded as the most worthless, most idiotic individual in the magical world. What can a soul truly purchase when bartered to a demon? Is it: Breathtaking beauty? Raw, unbridled power? Immeasurable wealth? Absolute dominion? Or something far more complex and mysterious? Imagine a world where a single soul trade could transform the very fabric of existence. Aeburt, once considered utterly talentless, makes a pact that would shake the foundations of reality itself. Miraculously, the most extraordinary beings begin to gravitate towards him: A mesmerizing Medusa Queen, whose gaze could petrify entire armies The continent's most infamous first traitor A dark genius of magic whose very name made kingdoms tremble These legendary figures - each powerful beyond mortal comprehension - inexplicably find themselves drawn into the orbit of this once-dismissed "waste" of a human. The question burns like wildfire: Can such a person still be called a "waste"? This is not merely a story of revenge or power. It is an epic of transformation, of a nobody ascending to become the ultimate somebody. A tale that challenges everything humanity believes about potential, destiny, and the true price of ambition. When Aeburt sold his soul, he didn't just acquire power - he unleashed a force that would rewrite the very laws of magic and fate. The Soul Trade begins. A legend is born. The world will never be the same.

A female S-class hunter suddenly came to the association coordinator's room, Mr. Raymond only glanced at her and continued reading the important documents in front of him. feeling ignored, the hunter snapped at the association coordinator's desk, of course it was still fairly quiet by hunter standards. “What is it hunter Aveline?” “You know me, coordinator? If you know me, why are you ignoring me? I'm an S-class hunter, coordinator!” snapped Aveline. “Of course I know you hunter Aveline, but didn't you make an appointment first? I'm busy, so get out of here” “Please just this once, coordinator, you're the only one I can trust.” for the first time Aveline lowered her famously high self-esteem. “So what is hunter Aveline?” “It might be hard to believe, coordinator” Aveline was hesitant if the decision she made was the right one. Because according to her memories Raymond was a good person, when the world was nearing its end. “Just say it, I don't have much time” Raymond waited for Aveline's answer, hoping that something serious had happened. “I'm a returner!” “Yeah? What the hell Aveline do you think the world is a novel? Get out, I don't have time to talk about things like that” “Wait a minute, I really am a returner, coordinator” “Yes, yes there are many hunters who do that here too, talking about being a returner but it turns out it's just a joke” “But I'm right, coordinator...” “No, get out of my room hunter Aveline.” “But...” “I'm busy” “Alright, I'll come next time.” “Please don't come again.”
