Grey Heavens

In a world where Science meets the Arcane, a time where the surreal bridges upon the factual, an Era in which the physical and metaphysical unify against one common threat. This threat can be seen anywhere, from outside the cottage of a man who struggles with his own isolation, shouting "I cannot be taken yet, for hope has not deserted me!!!" or in the tranquil embrace of nature, where a young man lives among the roots and vines thinking "The Mother of Roots will surely save me", only to find themselves vanished anyhow. Whether meek or the pinnacle of excellence all seems to fade when the "Outers" walk the soils. Explore the world of Alter-Grey in all its facets and uncover mysteries beyond comprehension, knowledge so pure that you might as well be fiction in its suffocating truths, sometimes curiosity is not sated only to kill the cat, but instead uses it to unravel everything. So I ask you this, are you curious enough to brave the Outer, are you strange to the ways of man or are you mundane, either way I suppose it doesn't really matter. Join a select few Astrals on this journey and see how far the strings of fate take you.

# Synopsis: "Rebirth of the Demon” Sheng Cheon was once a feared demon of Murim, a being so powerful that even the heavens trembled before him. But after six thousand years of battles, betrayals, and bloodshed, his reign came to an end at the hands of the high realms. With his final breath, Sheng thought his journey was over. Instead, he awakens in the fragile body of a 12-year-old boy—Alex, the second prince of a royal family in a weaker mana world. Stripped of his former strength, surrounded by political intrigue, and burdened with the expectations of royal blood, Sheng finds himself at a crossroads. Should he embrace the path of his new life, rise as a knight, and protect his new family? Or will the shadow of his past as a demon drive him to conquer this world as well? With the mysteries of the Royal Treasure still lingering and a new world to explore, Sheng Cheon begins a journey to decide who he truly is—a protector, a ruler, or the demon he once was.

In a world where power is granted by the heavens, one boy is cast aside, marked as unworthy of even the lowest blessing. Orphaned, scorned, and adopted only to be rejected, he is deemed "trash" in the eyes of all who wield power. But when he is rejected by the Heaven Holy Pillar—a symbol of divine favor—he’s left questioning his very existence, cursed by fate and broken by shame.

**Tag:** R-18, Harem-seeking protagonist, Evil protagonist, Perverted protagonist, Handsome male lead, Cruel characters, Special abilities, Eastern and Western settings in a SciFi world, unhinged comedy, tragedy, slightly above average intelligent characters and plot twist. Synopsis: Zachary "Zach" Walters is the ultimate nerd: 22 years old, perpetually unemployed, and perfectly content to spend his days locked in his room, devouring fantasy novels. Living off rent from a shop his late parents left him, Zach believes the world outside is overrated, especially when he has his trusty laptop and an endless supply of energy drinks. But after spending weeks reading Chronicles of the Archmage: Arkanis Ascends, Zach hits his limit. The novel's ending—was shit, the power of friendship nonsense—pushes him into a full-blown rant. He tears into the author with an unhinged, scathing comment in the forums, mocking the novel, the villain's pathetic defeat, and even the author's "beady eyes" for writing something so cringe-worthy even saying he who isn't a author can write better. "You think you're better than me as an author? Better than my protagonist? Let's see how you fare in my world." Suddenly such text appeared. Before he can reply, Zach is yanked into the very fantasy universe he mocked, reincarnated as a disgraced prince banished from his kingdom for sleeping with the king’s concubine. Stripped of his royal status but not his charm, Zach quickly realizes that fighting villains or becoming a hero is overrated. Instead, he decides to focus on the finer things in life: building a perverted waifus harem and indulging in every smutty fantasy he’s ever dreamed of. But in a world of cunning regressors, overpowered plot armour characters, arch mages and scheming nobles, Zach's carefree antics might just land him in hot water—or worse, dead. Can this trash-talking keyboard warrior survive his own delusions, or will he end up as another failed side character in someone else’s story? When fantasy meets debauchery, chaos is sure to follow.
