People always wish to have more time, but they never ever wandered a few dreamed to have so little The poor, the unfortunate, and even the herald of time himself cursed in preventing the end of time Zayn Houren was the fabled regressor, but every loop he failed miserably, yet his failure were no mere jest Each loop feels new, the people he'll meet, the world he'd travel, and the apocalypse to end it all Past knowledge with no meaning, endless cycle of no stopping, it is but an endless suffering A living hell he yearns to escape, ventures forth, unbreakable, unfazed, in this Timeless Regression

In the chaotic realm of Kyyrin, where draconic deities spiral in a deadly dance of death and rebirth, driven by the whims of worship, stands the cunning draconic demon goddess Yuuna. Bound by an ancient cycle, these gods continually perish and are reborn, stripped of memories, doomed to a fleeting existence. But Yuuna harbors a dark secret—her heart is the key to breaking this eternal chain. Desperate for salvation, the divine beings unite with a sinister intent: to kill Yuuna and seize her heart. Enter Xyenn, a 19-year-old with nothing but contempt for gods and a thirst for revenge. Yuuna, ever the strategist, binds this unlikely hero to her cause, sharing her formidable powers with him through a binding contract. Together, they dive into a maelstrom of divine conspiracies and battles. But amidst the chaos and battles, could there emerge an unexpected bond, perhaps love? Or does their alliance simply herald more destruction and sorrow in this god-forsaken world? Only time will tell in this high-stakes game of gods and hearts.

In a world teetering on the brink of annihilation, an ancient legend resurfaces—once a hero, twice a villain, now something far more dangerous. The Necrotic Magic Swordsman, a master of both blade and forbidden magic, returns for the third time, wielding the power of death and shadows. But this time, he carries not only the weight of his past betrayals but also the key to the world's salvation—or its ultimate destruction. Cursed by fate, hunted by those who once called him friend, and revered by the damned, he walks a path of vengeance and redemption. As rival kingdoms crumble and ancient forces awaken, the Necrotic Magic Swordsman must confront his greatest challenge yet: himself. In a world where alliances are fragile, and trust is a luxury, will his third return bring hope or herald the final chapter of a dying realm? The line between hero and monster blurs as destiny calls him one last time.

WSA 25 ENTRY ******** The world I knew was ordinary or at least bearable—until it wasn’t. I was just another corporate drone, drowning in a dead-end job I hated, stuck in a life that felt like it would never change. That is, until the mages decided to pick me. Every ten years, the mages choose ten people from across the faction—ordinary people like me—and thrust them into the Beast Games, a sadistic contest where only the strongest survive. The rules are simple: tame the fiercest creatures that world has to offer, fight to the death, and outlast every other contestant. Fail, and you die. Succeed, and you get to return home. But nothing there was as simple as it seemed. Thrown into a land where beasts rip through flesh without hesitation, and other contestants see me as nothing more than prey, I’m forced to rely on a mysterious system that offers me quests and tasks to survive. This world doesn’t play by any rules, least of all the ones we know. I will survive and I will find the ones who made this game and when I find them, I’ll show them what happens when you mess with someone who has nothing left to lose.

The constellations—embodiments of strength, wisdom, and magic—lie in fragment of these constellations, their power has been unleashed to the world below.

Three centuries ago, the Gates appeared vast, otherworldly portals linking Earth to realms beyond comprehension. Neither man-made nor natural, they were constructs of unknown gods, their purpose shrouded in mystery. From these Gates came beings of immense power, capable of either destruction or enlightenment, heralding Earth’s potential transformation. Humanity was meant to fall 200 years ago, but something delayed the apocalypse. The Gates, still standing, became enigmatic fixtures of life. Their true purpose was forgotten—until Viktor, a wandering ex-soldier, stumbled upon the system's "final piece": Luck. His discovery unleashed the cataclysm. A message echoed worldwide: “The world has discovered the final piece of the system: Luck. Countdown remaining for the breaking of the gates: 48 hours.” The collapse began.

To stop the chaos, he must destroy the 37 Gates, unravel the gods’ system, and confront the truth of Earth’s fate. Time is running out. The Gates have broken. The monsters are here. Let the battle for survival begin.
