In the year 2025, Ankush Halder, a struggling mechanical engineering student at Jadavpur University, finds himself at a crossroads. With three backlogs and placement season looming, his future looks bleak. But when he wakes up one morning, he is no longer in the world he once knew. Instead, he has transmigrated five years into the past, to a version of Earth where the world underwent a monumental shift in 1950—an interdimensional invasion that expanded the planet 100 times in size, dividing nations with ferocious monster-infested forests and forcing humanity into an era of magic, dungeons, and awakened abilities. Now an 18-year-old high school student in this altered timeline, Ankush must navigate a society where power is everything, and one’s talent and attributes determine their fate. With the Awakening Exam as the first major hurdle, he quickly realizes the fundamental shift in human intelligence and education. The system that once rewarded hard work is now rigged against the weak, with the wealthy hoarding resources, attribute-enhancing fruits, and talents to dominate the playing field. Armed with the knowledge of his previous life and an engineer’s analytical mind, Ankush refuses to be just another powerless commoner. In the Pre-Awakening Exam, he surpasses all limits, answering 600 questions—an unheard-of feat—but is expelled before anyone learns of his achievement. Branded as an average failure, he now enters the Awakening Dungeon, where he must forge his own path, unlock his true profession, and rise beyond the limitations of the system itself. Will his knowledge from modern engineering and science give him an edge in this magic-infused world? Can he survive in a world where power is dictated by talent and bloodline? In a world where monsters, dungeons, and professions determine one's fate, Ankush Halder is ready to change the game.

Beep Beep An unfamiliar mechanical sound wakes him up. The silvery orb appears under his almond-shaped eyes. His irish gleam in warm light streaming into the hospital room through the big window. "Ugh" The boy with a thin body, felt a little dizzy as he regain consciousness. His obsidian hair looks a bit messy after being unconscious for three months hospitality. But the one who'd just come out of the coma only felt it's only a split second after his heart stabbed by icy-cold sword. Wait, I'm still alive? As he began to realise that he was still alive, Yue Lian's hand reached to his left chest. Badump The sound of the heartbeat on his chest made him hard to believe. This is unbelievable! Yue Lian began to recall the moment he died. He still remembers vividly, how the sword pierced his heart. A mouthful of blood spurted out from his grayish-dry lips. Although the man face covered with blood and looks like a living corpse with pale bluish skin, but this cannot hide the remaining beauty on his face. It can be said that his face is soft, but not overly delicate, and at the same time exudes an unknown misty allure that would make even a god envious. As the crimson red sky emitting huge orange flame, Yue Lian looks up. His silver orb eyes tremble slightly looking at familliar face. After a moment of silence, he laughs out loud as if his heart had never been stabbed to begin with. "■■■" "■■■" He knew they had a conversation about something at that time, but he didn't know what was said. But even if he can't recall what was he said, he can still feel the deep of sadness in his chest. As if his heart was broken not by other party's sword, but by some unknown reason. Yue Lian tries to recall his memories, but they remain the same. It is as if a mysterious mist blocked half of his memories. And after his death, his soul was somehow trapped in Yue Mian's body. Yue Lian adjusts his thoughts, as he can roughly guess what happened in the past. In his previous life, Yue Lian was once a supreme God who managed the worlds with two other supreme gods. He is the God of Death, who controls the death of mortals, demons, cultivators, or even gods. Because of this power, he's made another god fear and envy him. After remembering his background in his previous life, he was sure that the one who killed him was one of the other two supreme god or even both. He still not sure if the two of supreme god join forces to killed him "Uhm, may I know who are you?" The middle-aged man trembled at his son's polite gesture, as if he was unfamiliar with them. "Don't joke around! I don't know what game you're playing, but I'm different from your father. I won't fall for your tricks, kid." "Father, please don't said that! Mian-mian already in coma for 3 months! How can it be fake?!" "You fool! This is not the first time this brat done this kind of ridiculous ploy" After the conversation between father and son, which was more of a debate, Yue Lian was sure that the original owner was a troublemaker who often played tricks on his family. But still, it's impossible for human personality to be that superficial, isn't it? Like a fire that cannot burn without smoke. Yue Lian still needs to investigate the reason why his soul didn't go to the reincarnation circle, but was sucked into Mian-mian's body instead.

“Being a god sounds cool… until you realize your job is to not kill the heroes you’re sending to save the world.” Kaito thought his life was over when he died in the most embarrassing way possible (don’t ask—it involved a vending machine). But instead of eternal rest, he wakes up as a freshly minted Reincarnation God, responsible for sending heroes into fantasy worlds to defeat demon lords and save kingdoms. Simple, right? Wrong. With a glitchy divine system, a countdown timer, and zero experience, Kaito accidentally overpowers, underpowers, or straight-up breaks the three heroines he's supposed to reincarnate: Alicia, the Sword Heroine, now strong enough to split mountains… but can’t run faster than a turtle. Mira, the Mage Heroine, wields unlimited magic but risks nuking entire continents with a sneeze. Luna, the Healer Heroine, whose healing spells now harm instead of heal. Now, Kaito must guide these broken heroines from the divine realm, keeping them alive (and away from his divine wrath) while navigating hilarious ecchi mishaps, chaotic magic explosions, and accidental harem-building along the way. Can Kaito fix his mistakes before the heroines die—or worse, before he gets demoted to Toilet Cleaning God? Ecchi, comedy, isekai, and harem collide in this wild fantasy adventure!
