With the hope of leaving his violent past behind, he plans to embrace a life of peace and integrity—until life throws him a curveball. [Connection established] [Hello, Adventurer] [I’m your guide who will explain the path of your life.] “Path of my life?” [Yup. Did you expect that you would get a new life for free? We’re not running a charity here.] [But you have to.] “I have to run a charity?” [Nope.] “Talk straight, don't fuck around you bitch,” [You rude asshole. Aren’t you a little too calm for someone who just transmigrated to another world?] “That’s my business. Now stop wasting my time and tell me what I need to know.” [You bastard. You have to create a cult.] ------------- The cover does not belong to me; message me if the creator wants to remove it.

"If somehow you could rewrite your life's greatest sins." Damien Vryce, a hard-hearted killer, was hanged for tyranny. He found himself awoken one year ahead of his fall. Having recollections from his past, he swore to make amends and save himself from the gallows. In the path of redemption lay treachery, conspiracies under the surface, and an unlikely, but hot love with the unknown woman, Amara Draven. As Damien sows the seeds of distrust by laying ruin to his past empire of fear, he recognizes that redemption considers the acknowledgement of the sins that have been committed along with the crossing of the line from sin to repentance. An entire kingdom lies in the threshold of war, enemies imbued with greed lurk in the shadows, and the second chance for Damien may well be the last.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

Looks like Truck-kun has claimed another victim. After being forcefully transferred into a novel he was reading, our main character, Noel, decides to ignore the main plot and focus on finding a way to escape that world. "I mean, think about it. The main character will handle everything anyway. I can just stay in the background without attracting any attention." Defeating an Ancient Order of Demon Worshippers? Hell nah, I don't wanna risk dying. Author Q&A 1. Is there any system? No, there is no system in place to help the main character whatsoever. 2. How overpowered is the MC? This series is not for those looking for an overpowered MC. Currently, the MC's strength is as average as a common soldier. 3. How will the story progress? The MC will remain a background character and will always try to avoid attention. However, he will help those in trouble if he can, without anyone knowing (except for his allies, who also operate in the shadows). 4. Will there be any harem? There will be romance, but no harem. The depth of the romance aspect is uncertain, as the focus will be on the MC's goal of finding a way to escape the novel world. 5. Is the MC an edgelord? No, he's just a kid who was thrown into this situation forcefully. Thank you for giving this series a chance!

The world of Abberith thrives on wonder and magic, where the age of Aura Magic has propelled humanity into an era of unimaginable progress. Aura is the latent potential within most humans, enabling them to channel their will into casting spells or creating magical technology that powers an industrial revolution like no other. Each person’s Aura glows with a unique color, reflecting their abilities on the spectrum of power. But a world that shines this bright is bound to have its shadows. The nation of Gina, a rising magical superpower, teeters on the brink of war, seeking to expand its borders to fuel its ravenous hunger for resources and maintain its Aura-driven empire. Gina is ruled by the Harrow Sect, a collection of elite Aura Knights whose mastery of magic and combat has solidified their cruel dominion. Every year, children who come of age are offered a chance to partake in The Trial, a grueling test that determines whether they can join one of the great knight sects within Gina, granting them the training and prestige needed to rise in a society where power defines freedom. But not everyone is so fortunate. Some cannot grow their Aura, and a few- like Joker- are born with none at all. Those born without Aura are branded as a Harlequin and cast to the lowest rung of society. Joker survives in the shadows of Sing, a city built around the Harrow Sect- and a place subject to the majority of their tyranny. Here Harlequins are slaves, tools, and scapegoats, robbed of opportunity and humanity in a world that values strength above all else- acknowledged only to be the playthings of knights. Yet beneath the city’s glittering spires and oppressive streets, the embers of rebellion begin to smolder. The Harlequins are reaching their breaking point, and the whispers of the hidden Revolution Cult grow louder. When a chance encounter pulls Joker into their secret world, he discovers a shocking truth: his parents, who he never knew, were leaders in the rebellion—martyrs who gave everything to ignite a spark of hope amongst the Harlequin. Now, as the Harrow Sect tightens its grip on Gina and rebellion rises from the shadows, Joker must decide where he stands. Will he remain a pawn in a system designed to break him, or rise as a symbol of defiance? In a world where power is taken, not given, Joker’s path will blur the lines between survival and revolution as he faces the legacy of his parents and the potential buried deep within himself.
