The world was cruel..... Especially for those who had lost their chances to shine. Aether was one of them.... Aether, an individual born with a silver spoon, found himself discarded like a defective product. He had longed for love and tenderness, but what others showed him was nothing but pain. Even in the face of that pain, he smiled not because he wanted to, but because he had no other choice. Despite the heartbreak, he entered into a hell called society with a beautiful smile..... "Can't you do a single thing!!" "..." "You are fired!!!" "....W-Wh.." "I am sorry, Sir, but you need at least a bachelor's degree to enter our company!!" "....I-I am..." "I am sorry, Sir, but we cannot provide a loan for your ideas without reassurance!!" "....W-Why?" "I heard your father is a politician.... So, You know...." "...." After a long struggle, he finally got a job, but his brother's words rang in his ears: "Yeah, yeah… I know you got the job thanks to me, of course. So, don't ever contact me or even MY parents" his brother declared. "...Heh..." Just as he believed he had earned society's recognition, an unforeseen event claimed his pathetic, seemingly worthless life.... "HONK!! HONK!!" Yet, amidst the cruelty of society, he defiantly cried, “I JUST WANT TO LIVE!!!!!” Witnessing his heartfelt cry and desire to live in the hellish place called society, he was granted a second chance. ~Ding!~ However, even in this new life, his situation remained unchanged. He continued to struggle not only to live and eat but also..... seduction. "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE THE PRINCESS!!" ".....he..he... B-But I didn't seduce her!!" "HOW DARE YOU SEDUCE MY MOTHER!!" "...Hehe" "YOU HAVE SOME NERVE TO SEDUCE MY WIFE, DON'T YOU?" "HEHEHEHEHEE....." _________________ Discord Server Link: 6JA46z23bw

Exciting news! My novel will be published on Royal Road. Be sure to check it out! The roar of wyverns echoes across a land of forgotten gods. Beasts like Fenrir dominate the land, and survival hinges on magic and weapon techniques. I am Aether, reborn into this brutal existence, a slave with a painful past and a future seemingly carved in stone. But fate, it seems, has a twisted sense of humour. When hope dwindled to a flicker, I stumbled upon an ethereal cave. Inside, bathed in an alien glow, lay a magnificent beast - a dragon, scales shimmering pink and red. Fear threatened to consume me, but a defiant roar erupted from within. "I will never bend to your will, FATE!" The echo of that challenge hangs heavy in the air, a spark igniting in the darkness. This is where my story begins.

The character with the highest difficulty and the worst performance, Baek Yuseol, was considered a trash character in-game because he could not use magic in a fantasy setting where everyone else could. However… [Because the wrong ending has been reached, 90% of Aether World has been destroyed.] [Please reach the “True Ending.”] Suddenly, those words echoed in my mind before I was transmigrated to the Aether World. [You can use the skill “Blink.”] “Just why did I possess this character?” Blink was the only magic skill I had. Surviving in Stella Academy among genius mages, I became the notorious Blink Mage. Alternative title: I Became A Flashing Genius At The Magic Academy

In the forest village of Gizakini, where magic flows through the shadows and the balance of Void and Aether governs life, the Rite of Shadowbinding is a sacred trial that defines every elf’s destiny. For young Xa’el, the ritual meant to awaken his connection to the Void takes everything from him—his life, his identity, and the future his family dreamed of. But death is not the end. Xa’el is reborn, his soul fused with that of a human from a distant, unfamiliar world. Haunted by fractured memories of Earth and the weight of his elven heritage, he returns to a village that no longer recognizes him. Named a Chronicler, a role that binds him to the preservation of elven lore, Xa’el discovers he is more than a keeper of the past—he is a force for change. The awakening has left Xa’el altered in ways his people do not understand. With the knowledge of science and technology blending with the magic of Ro, Xa’el begins to see his world not as it is, but as it could be. Yet his vision clashes with centuries of tradition, and his pursuit of progress places him at odds with the elders who fear the erosion of the balance that has kept their people alive.

Who is Aether? Wasn’t he Leonardo just a while ago? No way… the Museum, him? He can’t survive in there. The number of beings and phenomena are absurd. A mere miner couldn’t possibly— From Leonardo to Aether, he is now a tour guide. Knock. Wake up. He is here to guide you, from the highest realm to the lowest era. He knows every hole, every cult, nothing too small or too hidden in a realm brimming with mysteries. His story—his original story—has brought together hundreds of races. His vision awakening in the Museum, his eyes shining as bright as stars upon opening them—was it heaven at first? It’s more like hell now. He’s diverged from his original path, now fully entangled in the Museum, no longer just an era, a mere thought, or a simple story. He is a practical officer among the five tour guides. The eras continue to form, the copies continue shaping concepts, and the sages continue to watch over 21 realms. But his story has only just begun. From floor to floor, wonder to wonder—he is lucky to be the son. From the brightest city to the farthest reaches of the 20th realm, evolution, an impediment to the term "growth," this is Aether. Your, yes, your, uninvited guest.

{Check out my new novel, I Won't Forgive You!} 'Born In Ruins' was a forgettable read. That was the only way Emir could describe the pages of the novel he had found himself reincarnated into. The young man barely knew anything, but the snippets he had recalled only caused him unending sorrow... As what awaited him was only tragedy and an early death. It was a depressing story, one that he had planned to flip on its head—all for his salvation. — In this post-apocalyptic world, monsters fought humans and cyborgs in a battle for survival on a scale greater than ever before. A world where innocence and death were a luxury, where the line between heroes and villains was razor-thin. Within its expanse, 'Ancient Clans,' 'Galactic Federations,' 'Factions', and 'Corporations' presided over colossal 'Ruins' that dwarfed the concept of life itself. Survivors of the 'Third World War' continuously dove into the 'Old World,' 'Hunting' for 'Relics' in any ruin that they could find on Earth, desperate to reclaim 'Lost' technology, to stand a fighting chance against the inevitable. But it appeared that 'Earthkind' had met their match. …However, Emir would never allow that fate to take its course. — Emir unraveled layers of the tale and realized the truth of the world. He acquainted himself with the rules of this game before it fully consumed him. And now... no longer content with mere survival, he sought to dominate over the very fabric of this unforgiving universe. Emir shall rise from the pawn he once was, seeking to unravel the mysteries that hounded him. The boundaries of 'Aether,' his father’s disappearance, the noose hanging above his family’s head, and of course… his starless destiny, a fate he longed to control. This pursuit would earn him the epithet: "Prince Of The Fallen." ---------------------------------------------- *Tags: Reincarnation ;), Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Magical Realism, Academy (Volume 3), Romance, Apocalypse, {Anti-Hero. Villain.} *Expect this novel to start slowly; it begins ramping up at the halfway point of volume 1. *The Magic System is introduced at the end of volume 1, read my review and Auxiliary chapter for more on that. *Warning: The main characters have emotions like proper humans. So don't expect your usual emo kid as the MC and come complaining later.

In the vast and volatile world of Aetheris, where ancient magic and long-forgotten technologies intertwine, the balance of power is governed by deities of old and the secrets buried beneath the earth. As ancient factions vie for control, the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Erian, a young man with a past shrouded in mystery, stumbles upon a powerful relic that could shape the course of history, but this fragment of power harbors a dangerous secret that threatens to unravel everything. With power struggles erupting across the land, secret orders plotting in the shadows, and alliances shifting like sand, no one can predict who will rise, who will fall, or what sacrifices will be required to protect the fragile peace. In a world where the gods themselves may be plotting and men are driven by ambition, survival is never guaranteed. As the world's fate teeters on the edge of destruction, those who hold power must face their own demons and the weight of their decisions. The path ahead is uncertain, and the very fabric of Aetheris may be torn apart by forces beyond anyone's control. A journey of magic, warfare, and political intrigue unfolds, and every choice will have its consequences, but who will ultimately survive the coming storm?

In the mystical world of Eldoria, where magic flows as freely as the wind, young orphan Arin discovers an ancient, forbidden spellbook hidden in the ruins of an old library. Eldoria is divided into four magical kingdoms, each governed by powerful mages who wield unique elemental magic: Terra (earth), Aqua (water), Ignis (fire), and Aether (air). Arin, initially a humble apprentice at a potion shop, inadvertently awakens a dormant power within himself after casting a spell from the book. This power, known as Eldritch Magic, is feared and revered due to its potential to alter reality itself. Recognizing the immense danger and promise of his newfound abilities, Arin sets out on a journey to understand and master Eldritch Magic. As Arin travels through the kingdoms, he uncovers the truth about his origins and the prophecy that foretold his arrival. He learns that he is the last descendant of the Eldritch Guardians, ancient protectors of the realm who once sealed away a catastrophic force known as the Void. The novel builds towards a climactic confrontation with the Void, where Arin must unite the elemental kingdoms and confront the Umbra to prevent the annihilation of Eldoria. Along the way, he grapples with the moral implications of his power, striving to balance the light and dark within him. In the end, Arin's journey is one of self-discovery, friendship, and the realization that true strength comes not from magic alone, but from the bonds forged with others and the courage to face one's destiny.

In the distant past, I was cursed by my dealings. I had been cursed to continuously live a different life from the previous one, And now it's already my 10th life. Now that it's my 10th life, I have been born as an imperial princess, namely, Amelia Noelani Francoise Elysion that is forced to marry a pathetic king of a small neighboring kingdom. My older brother is the emperor, so I guess that should be appropriate for a princess. "I love you, my dear Adelle." "Adelle is so happy." Still, I wondered if my good-for-nothing husband would die after being assassinated, either because she had cheated on his wife or for some other reason. Just when I was thinking about that, a letter came to me and had announced that my big brother and second brother had been assassinated. Then, as the next in line to the throne, the emperor will be me...or it would be passed on to my stupid husband. Any title I may inherit will go to my husband under our marriage contract. So, I have decided to not let this happen until the day I die once again. "I need to get divorced and become the emperor myself." With that, I have decided to act like a villain in order to successfully get divorced from him. I have said everything I wanted to say to my husband in order to achieve my goal of becoming the conqueror of the continent. "If you had waited one more day, the continent would've been yours. Your regrets end here, my dear Evanovich." When he realized the truth, it was already too late. Then, I spoke to my ex-husband who had his mouth agape. "I told you to keep your head straight. Didn't you understand me?"

Over 100,000 years ago, Earth was destroyed in a cataclysmic event known as the Stellar Severance.

As Samuel learns to wield the strange power of Aether, he is drawn into a cosmic struggle where the future of his house and his own survival hang in the balance.

After awakening, Oliver found himself living as a poor farmer on the edge of the forests of the Kingdom of Rivendell, in a dilapidated home with scarce food. The kingdom’s forests were filled with magical beasts and toxic gases, and people believed they were perilous. However, he had awakened a super magic core that could capture creatures and endlessly transform its form. By capturing magical beasts, he gained incredible powers. He captured a Silver-Maned Boar, which granted him Superhuman Strength, enabling him to overpower foes with sheer brute force. Later, he captured a Thunderhawk, a majestic bird that soared through storms. This creature bestowed upon him the ability known as Storm's Embrace, allowing him to summon lightning strikes and control winds with a mere thought. Finally, he captured a Celestial Serpent, an immense creature adorned with shimmering scales that glinted like stars. This powerful beast endowed him with an Aetheric Shield, creating a formidable barrier that absorbed and reflected magical attacks, enhancing his own spells with celestial energy. As time flowed and the world changed, one day, Oliver, now the ruler of the earth and seas, looked up at the sky. The starry river above sparkled with unmatched beauty; it was said that within the starry sea resided deities. Having captured so many magical creatures and grown so powerful, he pondered the possibility: what if he could capture a god? What to expect: -Weak to strong male MC -Daily releases -Fast paced with frequent powerups -Fantasy setting with magic -Unique Mana Core System
