*****WSA 2025 Entry***** Kael's life ended in a blur of misfortune—but death wasn't the final chapter. Instead, he wakes up in the world of Erendath, a realm he once only knew from the MMORPG Ascension: The Path of the Reborn. But this isn't a game anymore. The dangers are real, the pain is unrelenting, and the rules have changed. Awakened with a mysterious and powerful class called the Rebirth Core, Kael finds himself thrust into the heart of a dark and twisted world.

To survive, Kael must navigate through deadly lands, unravel the secrets of the Ascension System, his Rebirth Core, and also learn to control the curse that haunts him. With the fate of both his new life and his old one on the line, Kael must question everything he thought he knew about life, death, and his place in this brutal world. Will he rise to his destiny, or will he be consumed by the very system once used by others to escape reality? A journey of power, secrets, and survival awaits—where every decision could be his last.

Aizen, a cynical 21-year-old gamer, finds himself transmigrated into Arcane Academy—a world ripped from the novel-based RPG he rage-quit moments before his death. But there’s a catch: he’s not the hero, the villain, or even a named character. He’s Aizen Greythorn, a mob destined to die in three months as cannon fodder for the main plot. Trapped in a cutthroat academy where power is dictated by divine Runes, Aizen’s only edge is his encyclopedic knowledge of the game’s story… or so he thinks. The system in his head grants him quests and skills, but survival demands more than grinding stats. He must outwit Seraphina Drakthar, the fire-wielding villainess who sees him as a pawn; earn the trust of Elara Veyliss, the saintly heroine with a hidden darkness; and ally with Lira, a fellow transmigrator who warns of the world’s unraveling glitches. With a forged Rune and a talent for manipulation, Aizen vows to defy his fate, even if it means burning the script to ashes. But as the Blood Moon Festival looms—a night of betrayal and bloodshed—Aizen’s actions ripple beyond his control. Bonds fracture, secrets ignite, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. Can a mob rewrite his destiny, or will he become collateral damage in a story that never wanted him?

Humanity is caught in a great upheaval after the Intergalactic Union of All Species coincidentally discovers their existence on what they had formerly considered to be the fringe of the universe. Without any say in the matter, they get indicted into the Union as a legal member. Unfortunately, this meant that they were now obligated to partake in the exploration of a new Chaotic Realm parallel to their universe containing rich energies, resources, and essence that the universe itself craved. To that end, the universe has created its own will, which seeks to gather all races and strengthen warriors from them to explore the dangerous but lucrative Chaotic Realm, initiating the Augmented Reality simulation, Essence. In Essence, one can experience a carefully crafted universe similar to an RPG game, either by going in through your soul or going in through VR. The former means that death is true, and the latter is similar to a normal FIVR experience. Those who go in with their souls can freely receive feedback from their 'game characters' to obtain all stats, skills, and items they acquire in Essence, while those who go in with VR do not obtain that benefit. However, those who pay for it in Essence can receive an awakening of genetic talent called abilities. These abilities are graded from F to EX, a total of 10 stages. Not much is expected from the human race when the first 100 participants get chosen at random from the public - a standard protocol - only for each one of them to awaken at least an A-grade ability. Then, there was Damon Arnan, a young Ghanaian politician, who ended up awakening, not one, not two, but three EX-Grade Talents. The human race, which had just entered the galactic playground, was about to experience a storm with Damon smackdab in the middle.

Crossers invaded the world and thrust Humanity into an interworld conflict. Humanity's instinct for survival was stimulated—rekindling the ancestral bloodline's legacy that lies dormant within them. Vampires, Elves, and even Demons were not mere figures of fantasy, but rather the true ancestors of Humanity in ages past. Thus, Hybrids were reintroduced to the world. Lucivar Asarafall, a man of humble origin—failed to awaken his bloodline. Despite his good deeds, his family loathed him. In his final trial, he swore to succeed but fate intervened, he was chosen as the monthly sacrifice for his city. In a near-death experience, his bloodline awakened, an Angel. A turning point in his life, but soon he realized that he was not the Angel he thought to be. In a world where the rulers were descendants of Dracula, the Dark Prince—or Chi Long, the Inferno King, the bloodline of malevolent beings from realms beyond mortal comprehension coursed through Lucivar's veins. While others became Hybrids, Lucivar became the messenger of Evil Gods, a False Angel. "Who cares about good or evil? If I kill someone wicked, it's a win, one less rival in my way. If I kill someone noble, it is still a win—the world would've consumed them sooner or later. So why not let it happen by my hand? After all, I'm more practical. I became stronger and you get a painless death, win-win" ——— Very manipulative and unhinged MC, be warned. He's a slave to the Evil Gods. A trickster God. An arrogant God. A chaotic God. A wrathful God. A puritanical God. Read to find who these Gods are! ——— Author Note: Not for those who want fast development from the start but if you want good characters, then this is your novel! Chapter 1 to 22 will be focused on the MC's descent to villainous but once it kicks off, you won't be disappointed!

“Eat shit!” Those were the last two words I shouted before creating the largest supernova and targeting the unknown enemies that called themselves The Order. Everyone was affected, me included. In the end, I, Emperor Vance, died using my own hands. I thought this was it. The Darkness that enveloped me is known as death. That changed when my gaze fell on the pulsating light that joined my presence in the expanse of darkness. It was Arcane; the accumulation of my learnings, the system of magic I built, and the sole owner of the mysterious power was with me in death. ‘Arcane’ enveloped itself to me, becoming the sole radiating light in the dark world. “How long has it been?” However, that single memory I had remaining in this ‘world’ seems to be becoming the only recollection I have left. I’ve become lost in time, drowning myself in the darkness. The only thought that crossed my mind was enduring yet another day in the same situation. Whoosh—! Not until it looked like I was being sucked outside of this nothingness. ‘What the fuck!’ For some strange reason, I felt tears fall down my cheeks, and I had no control over them. “Uwah!” In the first place, why am I crying? ‘And how is it possible to feel someone carrying my back?’ Amidst a series of strange occurrences, four simple words instantly made me realize exactly what was happening. “Congratulations! It’s a boy!” I’ve been reincarnated back into my own world.
