In the ordinary world, Alexander Cage was anything but ordinary. A genius in every sense, he mastered skills that put him leagues above the average human—martial arts, biology, technology, logical reasoning, and beyond. With such unparalleled abilities, he led the World Association’s elite task force, handling missions no one else could survive. From high-stakes assassinations to saving hostages and tipping the scales in wars, Alexander was the “perfect human”—except for one missing piece: happiness. Haunted by a life that had been nothing but duty, Alexander decided to leave it all behind. One last mission, he promised himself, and he’d retire to find a new life, a normal life. But fate had different plans. In his final mission, he sacrificed himself to save his team, his life slipping away with his dreams of peace unfulfilled. Then, the impossible happened. Alexander awoke, not in the afterlife, but in a new world—a realm where magic, martial arts, alchemy, and ancient technology thrive together in breathtaking harmony. Reborn with all his memories, he is granted a mysterious “System” that promises him a fresh start and the power to shape his destiny. But as he navigates this strange world, battling villains, unraveling ancient secrets, and building alliances, he begins to realize he’s still missing something—the happiness and love he’s never known. In a land full of wonders and dangers, Alexander will rise again, not just as a warrior but as a man searching for meaning. Will he finally find the happiness that eluded him in his past life, or will his pursuit lead him down darker paths? In a world as boundless as his own potential, only one thing is certain—Alexander Cage’s story has only just begun.

Or has his neglect already sealed Zaron's fate, dooming it to crumble from within? *Echoes of Equilibrium: Beyond the Veil is the sixth volume of the sequel. Enjoy

A typical isekai plot turns not so typical as the reality of the situation slowly sets in for the protagonist. War, slaves, women, marriage, children, vile villains, unexpected allies, and more. His actions may not only cost the populace their lives, but will also affect their livelihoods and beliefs. It's not all easy going, and not all enemies are on the opposite side. This is just some of what awaits the protagonist in part 1 of this of this multipart-multiversal storyline. Little did he know that his quest to defeat the Demon King and save this one single abnormal world was far more important than he ever thought it could be. It would eventually lead the protagonist to the origin of everything and anything that makes up reality. Everything must be balanced, including his abnormal existence. Equilibrium is...inevitable. -comments- I had a few goals for writing this story. Create a multiverse that almost any anime/manga/light novel could exist within and co-exist with others simultaneously. To also make the strongest character ever, giving a proper fundamental reason why they are, not just saying they're overpowered. This is the focus of the later parts, so I get all the "romance" and world building out of the way in the first 2 parts (loose plan). The rest of the parts focusing on the multiverse and crucial battles. If you think the protagonist is overpowered at the start...you have no idea. -the picture is AI generated and not an accurate reflection of the character. -I am a fulltime worker who writes irregularly and slowly (physical typing speed). I can also mull over one sentence for 30min. -parts 1 and 2 are a long and slow, things rapidly picking up after that. -nudity is depicted, but it is not of the 'ecchi' genre. Intercourse happens but is not detailed. -this is a war stricken world, so unsavory things happen. Please keep that in mind for things unsaid but implied. I try to keep things as lighthearted as possible while trying to keep it as realistic as possible. -I wrote this as if watching it in my head, which influenced the writing style. Also, when reading novels, if there are multiple characters, I sometimes find it hard to distinguish who's talking as I can see multiple characters wanting to say what was written. I decided to always make it clear who's talking, so it turned into a book/anime hybrid. -any feedback, including typos, are much appreciated. Upload Schedule: 1st of every month (wish I had time to do it more frequently, but alas, responsibilities. I am not writing to become an author, but only for myself and my own mental health. If the opportunity presented itself, sure, why not? However, I don't have the luxury to pursue that career. I have immense respect for those who can pursue it by overcoming the obstacles. I am a coward who can't justify the risks for pursuing something I don't have a diehard passion for. I only thought of stories for myself for many years, but I found myself forgetting parts of my stories. That's why I decided to write them down and record them online, leaving a piece of me out there for hopefully eternity. My goal is not short-term, but very long-term. I wish for someone, someday long after I'm gone, to read my work and think to themself "this guy has some good ideas". Just the thought of that makes me content. I hope you understand that I would only pursue a career in this if my work profoundly resonated with people so much that it basically forced me to be an author. I'm sincerely apologise to anyone reading it in its earl days and wishes for more confident).
