For centuries, magic shaped the world—building empires, forging legends, and defining the balance of power. But now, the arcane fades, its strength waning as technology rises to take its place. Ancient spells are forgotten, enchanted relics turn to dust, and the last sorcerers struggle to hold onto a power that no longer belongs in this world. Amid the chaos of war and oppression, Ronan Vale, a warrior once betrayed, seeks vengeance. But his journey for retribution leads him to a far greater truth—one that ties his fate to a dying magic and the relentless march of progress. As warlords and rulers embrace the new age of steel and machines, Ronan must choose: cling to the past, or carve a future where neither magic nor technology alone decides the fate of humanity. In a world where gods have fallen silent, sorcery is breathing its last, and war machines dominate the battlefield, Ronan stands at the crossroads of history. Will he be the final witness to magic’s demise, or the force that reshapes destiny itself? The age of magic is over. The age of iron has begun.

Once, this realm teetered on the edge of annihilation until mortals overthrew the Demon King’s tyrannical reign. But a thousand years of “peace” have left Kirath fractured—its magic withering, its lands plagued by cataclysms, its people rotting from complacency. The solution? Resurrect the demons. And they’ve chosen Alan, a man who traded in death, to wear the crown. To survive, Alan must wield the **Oblivion Pact**, a parasitic system that rewards carnage with unholy power. Kill to summon ★Soulrenders★—demonic warriors bound to his will. Conquer to rebuild. Rule to channel the chaotic energy that once made demons the world’s necessary evil.

Now, with their power waning, that ancient hunger stirs. To save Kirath, Alan must become the Demon King the world fears… or watch it drown in the hubris of its own “victory.”

Synopsis: Beyond the hurricane, in a land untouched by mortal eyes, the Wheel of Destiny spun, weaving the fate of gods themselves. At its center stood Death, once one of the most formidable deities of the Immortal Realm—now watching his power wane as his house crumbled. His son, Chaos—young in years but a force of destruction so feared that the King of the Gods, Maximum, named him the God of War—had been stolen away. Taken by his own sister, Peace, and hidden in a place where no god had ever set foot. With Chaos gone, war ceased, and the House of Death teetered on the brink of ruin. Yet Death could do nothing, for Maximum had granted Peace divine protection—no god could lay a hand on her. Desperate to reclaim his lost power, Death dared to break the greatest law of the gods: bestowing the legacy of a god upon a mortal. With the last of his strength, he chose a single human and gifted him his power, whispering a single command: Kill Peace. Free Chaos. Let war reign once more. But mortals are unpredictable. With a soul comes desire, and with desire, greed. And it is this mortal’s greed that will turn him into the most feared of all the gods.

In a twist of fate, Soobin finds himself reincarnated in a futuristic world, exactly like the one from the novel he had been reading. His face and name remain the same, but his identity is entirely new—new parents, new friends, and a new reality governed by a mysterious force called spirit energy.

Rana - The Quest for Eternity In the brutal and unforgiving world of Rana, survival is a constant struggle, and the laws of existence are harsh and unyielding. The concept of immortality and eternal life does not exist—death is inevitable, and illusions bind the souls of the living. Rana is a world where selfishness reigns, and only the strongest, most ruthless can survive. Shree Heng, a man of unparalleled intellect and ruthless ambition, is determined to defy the very nature of existence. In his first life, he was a normal student, living in a world of simplicity, until a tragic accident sent him to Rana. There, he was thrust into a cycle of suffering and brutality, where every day was a battle for survival. After 200 years of endless misery, Shree Heng’s spirit was broken, but his thirst for power and transcendence never waned. Over the course of 600 years, Shree Heng's journey led him down dark and forbidden paths, and he eventually became a coward, consumed by fear and regret. But fate had more in store for him. Surrounded by evil spirits, he sought out a mysterious garland—a relic that could reverse time itself. Using a Rana insect, Shree Heng went back in time, seeking to change his fate and achieve what was once thought impossible: immortality. Driven by a single, unwavering goal—to escape the illusions of Rana and attain eternal life—Shree Heng delves into forbidden knowledge, ancient rituals, and dark powers. He manipulates those around him, forming alliances with other powerful beings like Nyxara, a manipulative master of illusions, and Varek, a manipulator of life force. But as his obsession grows, so too does the price he must pay. Shree Heng's journey leads him to the horrifying truth: immortality is not just a myth—it is a trap, designed by ancient entities to keep the world in eternal suffering. To break free from this cycle, Shree Heng must confront the very forces that govern Rana and challenge the nature of reality itself. But with each step closer to his goal, he risks losing everything—his humanity, his identity, and even his very soul. In a world where betrayal is common, and every alliance comes with a price, Shree Heng must face the ultimate choice: to break the illusion and risk unraveling the very fabric of existence, or to accept the brutal reality of Rana and live with the knowledge that immortality was never meant to be. Rana is a dark, philosophical journey into the depths of human ambition, the futility of immortality, and the consequences of seeking to escape the illusion of life. In the end, Shree Heng’s quest for eternity may not lead to freedom, but to an even greater truth—the painful realization that some illusions are meant to remain unbroken. --- This synopsis captures the essence of Shree Heng’s journey in Rana—his relentless pursuit of immortality and escape from illusion, set against the backdrop of a cruel and brutal world where every choice has a cost. The story explores deep themes of ambition, morality, and the consequences of seeking power beyond the natural limits of existence.

Thank you for your support) Our story takes place on the planet Sarina, where a major conflict is on the horizon. After overpopulating Earth, the humans had no choice but to move to another planet for extra living capacity. Because of the difference in gravity in the two planets, special living accommodations had to be made. This planet also had vast resources that could be used for technological advances. In addition, the effect of having less gravity made the humans able to think and do more. They began to advance in all sorts of weaponry, AI, and mental capacity. They began to think of endless possibilities, and if everything they knew was really what it seemed to be. With all of these advances, the human race looked to be more prosperous than ever. However, there is always bound to be some sort of conflict among humans. And that conflict came in the form of revolution. Tired from corrupt leaders using their power to make everyone but themselves poor, an uprising group called The Principality of Shirina, staged a violent coup. With promises to lead Sarina with peace, freedom, justice, and security, many followed their way. However, there were some, including the master of Shenrei Densetsu, Master Tazz, who would not stand idle for such a violent coup. When people began to speak out against them, they were violently executed. Believing his master to be dead, The Principality took in Shenrei, and turned him into a Shirinan. During this time, The Principality had done everything they could to stop anything related to the belief of the Sarlen, their only opposition. The Sarlen, a celestial race with a mix of human blood and pre human magic, powers come from the belief that they exist, thus they fade away if nobody is actively believing in them. With nobody left to oppose them, The Principality of Shirina (POS) have been able to rule freely with little opposition. With all of their power and resources, they plan to work on new weaponry and continue to spread their influence of power. With Shenrei as the commanding officer of her military, The “Mistress of Evil” Shirina, believes that she has nothing to worry about. The legend of the ”Violet Shock” has instilled fear into all of those who even dare oppose The Principality. Unbeknownst to them, Shenrei has deep hatred for the entire family, and seeks revenge for the “death” of his master. After hearing of a great power in Wabba City, Lady Shirina sends Shenrei and some soldiers to go on a reconnaissance mission. With Shenrei wanting to indulge in his own ambitions, however, he simply leaves. However, the soldiers become reckless, and do things their own way. Despite the efforts of four friends by the name of Jin, Khan, Sonjo, and Skia’, they are entirely powerless to save Sarina. The Sarlen, up to this point, have been gone for millennia. Ever since The Principality had taken over, their life essence had been constantly waning. With their power regained, the Sarlen look to defend those who had forgotten them. Led by C, Ja’Skaar and Baron Hampton, they have declared war on The Principality. The battle for the fate and future for all of Sarina, has officially begun.

In the Land of Light, magick was a paradoxical force: an intrinsic part of the world yet reviled and forbidden. It was a taboo so entrenched that children born with magick were often hidden, ostracized, or worse, in the name of purity. In stark contrast, the Shadow Realm viewed magick as a cherished and precious art, even as its power waned. While magick thrived in secrecy or peril in the Land of Light, it was celebrated and preserved as a fading but sacred tradition across the border. This dichotomy set the stage for a tale of conflict, resilience, and the value of magick in a divided world.

{WSA 2025 Entry} Read the Pinned Review First. ***** Lionheart... The bloodline of the once most powerful clan of knights, a lineage so formidable that even gods fought for their loyalty. But over time, the bloodline diluted, its strength waning with each generation. The Lionhearts, once revered as paragons of might, faded into obscurity, becoming nothing more than a relic of the past. Eventually, they fell so low that they joined the ranks of beggars, a shadow of their former glory. Amidst this desperate struggle to survive, only one child of the Lionhearts remained alive... Davey Lionheart, a frail nine-year-old boy forced to beg on the streets but carrying a heart of kindness and purity. One miraculous day, after 7,000 long years, the pure bloodline of the Lionhearts awakened within Davey. The power of his ancestors, thought to have been lost forever, burned brightly once more. This awakening caught the attention of Aria, the Goddess of Light, who had once protected the Lionhearts. Aria tasked Davey with a divine mission... to slay the demon lord destined to plunge the world into chaos. With the blessings of the strongest goddess and the might of his awakened bloodline, Davey rose to the top of the world. By the age of 19, he had become the youngest and most powerful knight in history. His kindness was boundless... he devoted himself to helping others, spreading the name of Aria, and claiming nothing for himself. But this kindness became the seed of his downfall. In the climactic battle against the demon lord, Davey triumphed but at the cost of his right arm... It was a sacrifice he made to save his comrades. To a knight, the loss of their sword arm was equal to losing everything. Davey, the world’s greatest hero, was now powerless. And the world only worshipped the strong. Those he once saved... the comrades he protected, the woman he loved, and the commoners he gave everything for... turned on him. Even the goddess he had worshipped and sacrificed for scorned him. Betrayed and abandoned, Davey wandered the world for four long years as the fallen knight, enduring ridicule and humiliation. His end came in the most gruesome way. Betrayed by those he had once saved, his limbs were severed, and he was left to be devoured alive by wild beasts. Even in his final moments, Davey prayed to Aria, hoping the goddess would extend a hand of mercy. But his prayers fell on deaf ears. In his last breath, betrayed by the people he cherished and the goddess he worshipped, Davey’s soul burned with rage. The knight who once lived to save... now desired only to kill. But karma is impartial. It represents the Balance of everything after all. Fate intervened, granting Davey a second chance. In the void between life and death, he was given a choice... - Join the Divines. - Embrace the Demons. Loathing the gods and the people who betrayed him, Davey chose the demons, vowing to destroy everything he once served. But to his surprise, he woke up in a completely different world where qi cultivation and longevity reigned supreme. A strange, eerie energy lingered in the air. Hovering before him was a peculiar, glowing window with letters slowly forming... [Connecting to the host...] But he who had been betrayed once by everything he held dear did not trust anyone... not even in the face of death. Davey refused the system’s help, instead, chose to pursue invincibility with his own strength. Seeing this, a certain entity smiled, and another window appeared... [The System will not appear unless the host calls for it with all his heart.] ***** Have some trust and read the book :3 Btw,, Every 100 powerstones - 2 bonus chapters.

Unlike many other stories in this genre, the female characters here are not brain-dead or damsels in distress, thus the development of the romance between characters and the expansion of harem will take time. The protagonist is not a typical hero; instead, he is an evil villain, and the story follows his rise to power and the journey towards the ultimate goal. The character is complex and nuanced, with a clear motivation for his actions. So don't expect some character development and learning through mistakes. MC is a seasoned veteran and a cunning mastermind from the very beginning.]] ---------------- Note : Character Reference Arts are available in chapter comments and our Discord Group.
