To his horror, he awakens in the body of a beautiful, slender goth femboy—the complete opposite of everything he valued. In this strange new world, physical strength is considered primitive, while androgynous beauty is the ultimate source of power, fame, and social currency.

His journey for revenge against a mysterious rogue scientist who insulted him leads him to join the Femboy Adventuring Guild.

It was the same boring normal lifestyle. Waking up as early as 6am, and going to work at 7am. Working very hard like a working machine every single day and returning from work at 8pm. But what was all that hard work for? She was controlled and used by her superiors, who had always claimed her merits and great achievements as their own. It was late in the night. After getting out of the blue bus and walking along the sidewalk, on her way to her tiny apartment, she suddenly halted out of frustration. The purse that was hanging around her neck, she removed it and threw it on the floor with an agonizing groan. Her pale face, which had dark circles underneath her eyes, looked up at the sky, and pointing her right finger at the sky, she quarreled, “Are you having fun watching my pathetic life?! Huh?! Are you going to mock me like everyone else does?! I overheard everything my colleagues said about me behind my back! They said that I was a naive fool! They said that I was only a tool to them, meant to be used!”. “But is that fair?! It wasn't enough that my superiors always took credit for my hard work. But, the colleagues I thought of as my friends had also been taking advantage of me, and I only found out about that today! Every single damn time, they all came to me, behaving pitifully and begging me that I should help them resolve their own work issues, and I, as naive and foolish as I am, helped them out, despite the stress involved in it”. “I do not even remember the last time I had a good night's sleep! Why is this world so cruel to me?! Is it because I don't have any people to call my family?! Is it because I don't have parents?!”. She yelled at the top of her lungs and held her chest using her left hand. The passersby stared at her and were muttering to themselves, “She must have gone crazy”. Yeah, she had gone crazy. Crazy because of her unfair life, that she didn't care at all if it all came to an end. “What I would give to be the boss of my own life!”. She yelled again, before she broke down crying and slowly sat down on the ground. Her palms covered her face for a few seconds, not having a single clue that those few seconds would change her life for good. “Watch out!!!”. Someone screamed at her, but it was too late for her. She removed her palms from her face and silently watched as a car drove recklessly towards her. ‘See? My life is pathetic’. She thought, before her body was crushed. And before she lost consciousness and died, her body was drenched in blood. …. Opening her eyes, she got very confused. The first words that came out of her mouth were this: "Didn't I die?”. Staring at her surroundings, she got even more confused. As she sat up on the bed, she felt a stinging pain in her head as a flood of memories, which she knew didn't belong to her, flashed in her mind. “Wait, what? Since when am I the granddaughter of a farmer and the daughter of the great wing city leading superstars? And since when did I have a Cheat Farm System and a fiancè?! I don’t understand any of these, you freak. I am not Piper Graham. You got the wrong person”. …. “Hahaha! The old me is dead starting from this very moment! Watch me climb up to wealth using my Cheat Farm System! In this new life, I will become the boss, not the employee!!”. She jumped around her tiny bedroom as she shouted to her heart's content after realizing that she had been given a new shot at life.

In the greed-filled world of corporate empires and magic knights, Min Jae was a king in business, with pockets so deep he could drown in them. That is, until his life deemed his playthrough unfair and gave him a red card. Poison was his family's best friend, as everyone had at least tasted it once, not twice because they never could. Death was never on his calendar, neither was an offer for a divine gig. Enter the Deity of Stories, a celestial being with a fetish for plot twists, who offers Min Jae a deal he can't refuse: become her divine cameraman. No, not the kind with a lens, but one who records the tales of mortals. In return, he gets a second shot at life, in a world where his dearly departed parents are alive and well, ready to dote on him from birth. Reborn as Judge (because “Min Jae 2.0” sounded too dull), he quickly realizes this new life is no gift. This steampunk utopia, filled with airships, clockwork gadgets, and an alarming lack of Wi-Fi, thrives on manipulation. But who needs the internet when you have a divine camera and the sharp mind to control it all? Judge isn’t just here to record stories; he’s here to write them, casting himself as the mastermind behind every twist and turn. Armed with his divine powers, he navigates complex schemes, power-hungry nobles, and ruthless industrialists, all while keeping his ultimate goal hidden: to ascend to godhood and rewrite his own fate. Of course, he generally makes a glorious mess of things, all while trying to keep his dear parents blissfully unaware of his less-than-angelic schemes. But as the stakes rise and the Deity of Stories watches his every move, Judge must tread carefully. Can he manipulate his way to the top, or will he become just another character in someone else’s plot twist? --- Just a quick disclaimer: The book steers clear of any unwanted adult stuff. However, it does feature a potentially disturbing amount of violence—enough to make you wonder about the author's mental health. So proceed with caution—and maybe a shield!

Namun saat membuka mata, ia telah berada di dunia asing bernama Ravia, sebuah dunia yang beroperasi layaknya game RPG: ada sistem level, job class, stat poin, dan skill tree.

Dengan sistem ini, ia bisa memilih class tersembunyi, mengalokasikan stat secara manual, dan bahkan memanipulasi skill dengan cara yang tidak biasa.

One minute, he was scrolling memes. The next? Crushed by a piano and yeeted into the afterlife. Enter System 707: snarky, glitchy, and very much not interested in customer service. Now stuck in the Multi-Existence Synchronization Protocol - aka: “die, jump worlds, survive if you can” - our unlucky (...or lucky?) protagonist is reincarnating across increasingly unhinged realities. Skills transfer, memories stick, and dying? Unfortunately still on the menu. He never signed up for romance, but fate (and System 707's terrible sense of humor) keeps throwing him into tangled soul-deep connections with the same man - or versions of him, over and over again. One world at a time, one sarcastic reboot later, he’s realizing the rules of existence aren’t just broken - they’re personalized chaos. Fall in love. Try not to die. And whatever you do, don’t piss off the system. Because dying once is unfortunate. Dying again? That’s just Tuesday.

What if history’s greatest conqueror wasn’t immortalised by his power—but imprisoned by it?

This is not a story of glory. It is a story of control, betrayal, obsession—and the haunting price of becoming a god.

A thousand years ago, the Great Calamity struck Earth. Countless rifts tore through reality, opening portals between the Demon Realm and the Human World. Overrun by monsters, humanity was on the brink of extinction. But at its darkest hour, something miraculous happened—those who died returned, awakening strange new powers that allowed them to fight back. Vale knew that story well. Maybe that's why he wasn't surprised when he heard the voice of the system speak to him. [ Congratulations! You have died. ] [ Your First Trial of Death begins now. ] What truly shocked him, however, was the question burning in his mind: "Who would dare to assassinate the Second Prince of Verythmia?"

‎"That day…That day, I made a promise... ‎A promise to save the world from whatever the hell this is. ‎ ‎Whatever turned it into something worse than hell itself. This is the world my father died for. And now… here I am, in a place that peoples call hell... ‎ ‎Standing face to face with the very ones who caused all of this. ‎ ‎But I have no power…No one...I am bleeding… ‎ ‎Bleeding so much that even words can’t measure the depth of the pain this blood has caused. ‎ ‎And with every drop I lose, Hope fades away further from the hands of the people... ‎From humanity... ‎From every lifeform that passed their power down to me. ‎ ‎I cannot disappoint them. ‎I won’t.... ‎ ‎I must stand… and fight... ‎Even if I’ve lost my arms , even if I lost my will to fight. ‎ ‎This… this cannot be the end right? ‎ ‎*Breath* ‎ ‎This breath… ‎It holds the hope of all life that still matters. ‎ ‎“.......” ‎ ‎Thousands of years ago, the world was a beautiful and peaceful place, something what people call paradise….It really was tho. ‎ ‎It was under the protection of the divine hand of God, ‎ ‎Shielding all life from evil. ‎But that hand…it Died or maybe it's not only the hand which died. ‎ ‎Like a sacred banyan tree offering shade from the sun’s burning rage. ‎ ‎Once it was gone, those who rested beneath it felt the pain of the heat. ‎ ‎And so, Earth...once innocent and sinless ‎Became stained with sin. ‎ ‎Or perhaps… ‎God was killed by something that transcends even god. ‎ ‎Something so beyond , so vast, ‎That it taught all life the meaning of desire. ‎ ‎And with it, the seed of evil. ‎ ‎It is said that those closest to God are the ones the devil desires most to corrupt. But as long as God remains, He guides them, shelters them, keeps their hearts from straying. Yet once God is gone, once that divine light fades those once nearest to Him may become worse than anything imaginable. ‎ ‎For without His guidance, even angels can fall… and fall further than demons ever could. ‎ ‎It was not a lie after all... ‎ ‎Closest to God were the Nio who were ‎Divine beings forged with power no mortal should ever wield. They who had always used their power for the wellbeing of God's creation, with the touch of evil became something worse than the devil ever could. ‎ ‎ ‎They turned against the very creation they were meant to protect. ‎ ‎Driven by corruption, ‎They became something far worse than demons who are worse than the worst sinner. ‎ ‎With that began the long dark age for all humanity as humanity endured the endless torment of Nios. ‎ ‎Until the arrival of the Niobanes, ‎Who rose to save the world... ‎Defeating the Nio, And sealing them away in the deepest pits of hell. ‎ ‎The presence of hell can make a man do crime that can't be imagined, and when for someone worse than a demon...?? ‎ ‎Years later... ‎ ‎From the blood of the grandson of the most powerful Nio, ‎ ‎The seals were broken that trapped divine demons in hell. ‎ ‎The Nio returned...To reclaim power and rule once more. ‎ ‎He saw it all. ‎His mother, dying to protect him. ‎His father, sacrificing everything to save the world. ‎ ‎And in front of his eyes... ‎They broke free, using his own blood. ‎ ‎Selay was born carrying that burden, ‎The guilt, the legacy and the pain. ‎ ‎But in the flames of grief He found purpose in his existence. ‎ ‎Inspired by his father's sacrifice, with ‎Fire in his eyes he whispered a promise to bring the heavens on earth. Turning the earth back into a haven...With the promise of saving the world his father died for. ‎ ‎"I will save the world my father died for." ‎ ‎
