GlaringError here! As I have already mentioned in my author review I am restating it here since I am getting tons of comments about it, that I am more of a reader myself than a writer, I made this novel in an attempt to capture my fantasy world residing in my mind into words.. Writing is new for me.. The premise of my novel is inspired by many great works that I have loved over the years. And some elements I have in my novel that are slightly similar to them but it's just the skeleton of it, the real meat of the plot is entirely my own cooking. Some of the influence that is more noticeable is from The Runesmith (By Kuropon), The King's Avatar (By Butterfly Blue) and Shadow Slave (By Guiltythree). I have immense respect for these legends and I can only hope to follow in their footsteps. To all those who comment just by judging the name, at least give it a chance before letting your opinions known. Thank you.

Apocalyptic Game : Revenge of the Reborn Villain

It was only after Damian died miserably that he learned that the young man who shouted about love and friendship all day long was the male protagonist, the one destined to save the world, and he was just a minor villain, a stepping stone for the hero along the way. Because Arthur is the hero, he, who has a cautious personality will ignore the opponent's threat and let him grow. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every fatal move he makes has no effect. Because Arthur is the protagonist, even his loyal men will be inspired to rebel. Because Arthur is the protagonist, every strong girl will open her arms and welcome him to join after seeing his smile. Now, after regaining his life in the past through the rebirth, Damian had three choices before him -: 1) Just like in the previous life, fight hard with the protagonist and try to find a way to kill him. (Yeah, good luck with that dumbo..) 2) Don't be a villain, and seek a way out. Hide from the hero and heroines (Like fate would let you, silly..) 3) Join the hero's group and act like a righteous little brother. (That means forgetting everything he went through..) Damian looked at all three plans carefully and reordered them instantly. He wants to join the hero's group like a righteous person, and then find a way to kill the damned protagonist. "You think the story ends with you saving the world? But guess what, I’m rewriting the script. This world isn’t worth saving. And if I have to destroy it to kill Arthur, then so be it." And thus the world witnessed the birth/rebirth of a true villain. XXX---XXX Note -: It's a post apocalyptic fantasy novel. With zombies, mutation, evolution and some super powers kinda stuff. -MC is a proper cruel villain. Not at the level of being totally emotionless but not quite far either. -The hero is a proper protagonist. Not like those double standard guys from random cn mtl novels who're more villainous than so called villains.

The Alchemist’s Son

Damian Thorne, a 25-year-old struggling artist, leads an ordinary life in a bustling city—until the day he receives a mysterious letter from a long-forgotten relative. His estranged grandfather, a reclusive alchemist, has passed away, leaving Damian his secluded estate in the countryside. Intrigued, and with little to lose, Damian decides to visit the property, only to discover that his grandfather’s legacy is far more complex than he imagined. At the heart of the mansion is an ancient, hidden laboratory filled with cryptic notes and strange, alchemical equipment. Damian quickly learns that his grandfather was part of a secretive alchemical order dedicated to uncovering the Philosopher's Stone. His grandfather had been on the verge of a breakthrough—one that involved transmutation of not just metal, but reality itself. As Damian delves deeper into his grandfather's research, he starts experiencing strange occurrences. Time warps. Shadows move on their own. Old enemies of the order resurface, determined to seize the secrets Damian has inherited. To protect his life and the legacy of his family, Damian must master the forbidden knowledge of alchemy before it consumes him. In a race against time and enemies both seen and unseen, Damian discovers that the true power of alchemy is not in transmuting gold—but in unlocking the secrets of life, death, and the universe itself. However, every step he takes closer to mastering alchemy brings him closer to a dangerous truth: that some knowledge was never meant to be found.

This was finally it. My death. I felt all the air squeeze out of my lungs until I heard it - the deep, hoarse voice that sent chills down my spine. "Stop the execution," the king said with a warning edge that even a fool couldn't miss. Damian's face twisted with surprise that barely concealed his fury at the King's words. "Your Highness," he repeated, masking his irritation with a shallow bow, "This is the execution we spoke about a while ago that involved the treason." From his facial expression, I could tell he felt the need to state that. The king's gaze turned steely, cutting through Damian's attempt at justification. "Why aren't your guards backing down?" he asked, his voice dripping with authority that left murmurs in the crowd. "Or have you forgotten who commands this realm, Alpha Damian?" "Penelope Neville will be taken into my custody..." He declared. "Any attempt to go against my order or interfere will be met with swift and severe punishment worse than death."
