One day, a tragic accident occurred where he drowned in a lake, only to awaken in the year 1474. To his surprise, he found himself in the body of a man named Hyun Sik, living during the reign of King Sang Woo. Unbeknownst to Sung Jae, Hyun Sik and the king were known lovers. King Sang Woo had a fearsome reputation, widely known as the "king of blood" due to his brutal and ruthless rule. Sung Jae, now inhabiting Hyun Sik's body, was unaware of this complex relationship. He struggles to navigate this unfamiliar time, unaware of the expectations placed on Hyun Sik by the king. As he tries to understand his new reality, the dark and oppressive atmosphere of the kingdom looms over him. Sung Jae must now find a way to survive in this brutal era while uncovering the secrets of Hyun Sik's life. His journey becomes a struggle between adapting to his new identity and finding a way back to his own time.

‘How did this happen’ The young man, practically a boy, looked at the scene in front of him. In just one glance it was possible to see dozens of people, more closely he was sure there could be hundreds or thousands of people prostrating themselves in front of him. From the center of the city square to the adjacent streets in front of the temple, with a frightening similarity to what happened in the Vatican when the Pope gave a speech. The young man sitting on a throne too big for him, inside a marble temple he could see expressions of happiness, reverence, gratitude and in some a small hint of fear. Not that he paid much attention to the others, his attention was mainly drawn to the group directly below the throne. This group was made up of people of various ages, from old men with gray and wrinkled hair, but with strangely healthy bodies and postures upright like poles, to young people of various ages including children. What this group in particular had in common was their expression, which could only be described as fanatical as they looked at the young man. The only thing that was going on in the young man's head, with all this excessive attention, was simply... ‘How did things get like this?!!!! I was just playing a game!!!!’ In a room in an ordinary apartment, in an ordinary city. A seemingly ordinary young man could be seen lying in bed with a cell phone on his chest. The cell phone was on and showing scenes from what appeared to be a game. With a small and intriguing coincidence that the young man sitting on a huge throne inside a marble temple was completely identical to the sleeping young man. ********************************************** Thanks to ImagineArt for the image

Cliche. Another monster progression story. That was probably what you thought when you read the title of my story. And, I can't lie, for the most part, it probably is. But, what else am I supposed to do when I've been thrusted into a world that could kill me in an instant? There's nothing to do but to progress, to devour and evolve. You would do the same too. Such is the basis of a monster. Such is the right of any living being. So that's what I did. I ate, I killed and I hoarded anything I could get my big limbs on. Friendship, allies and love? There used to be a little god calling himself "Heaven's Equal" who spouted of such things, before I ate him. The world went pretty quiet after that. Follow my story. Read for yourself how I evolved from a little monster in a lake I thought was the ocean, all the way into the Titan Of Destruction. Cross Posted On Royalroadl & Webnovel. What To Expect: - A relatively quick progression story - Ruthless, I mean - Fang Yuag levels - of ruthless protagonist. - A system? that grows stronger along with the protagonist - Big Monsters Duking It Out, with minimal humans/beastmen/elves, etc. . .focus. Basically, monsterverse without annoying ass humans ruining the show. - Did I mention that the protagonist was pretty evil?

In a world where there seems to be no magic and only some spirituality, there is a myth, myth contrasted with the mundane present, where magic has faded into legend. Myths of people who possess the power to face entire armies of tens of thousands alone, people who can breathe fire, people who can freeze whole lakes, people who can fly through the sky, even people who can turn into beasts with immense strength, but those are myths of old with no prove to them... or at least it seems so at first. There is another common knowledge in this world tied to the myth, knowledge of certain warriors known as ascendant warriors; humans capable of surpassing their potential, drawing from the power of mythical spirit beasts, to gain strength unlike a normal warrior. and conquering armies singlehandedly. The Aydin, a young slave who mysteriously wakes up in a caravan carrying slaves finds out that he cannot remember anything from his past. Living in such a condition, Aydin is resolved not to live his entire life as a slave, he will strive to free himself from captivity and yearn for something greater... Little does he know, that his fate is deeply tied to the future of the world.

I died in an accident after making three of my beautiful girlfriends have a big fight. In another life, I woke up from my sleep after being saved by King Zavier, a charming young king when I drowned in the lake. Strangely, King Zavier is very similar to my best friend from high school, Xavier, who was killed a year ago as a soldier while serving in a conflict area. He wanted me to be his queen, when all the noble ladies were crazy about him. Meanwhile, I actually fell in love with Princess Minka, his beautiful younger sister. I also had to face the obsession of Duke Aiden De Vegmegeur, King Zavier's half-brother who was very similar to the gang leader who bullied me in high school. Does a playboy like me have to be a potential rival for noble ladies and an obsession for the King and his half-brother?

“Congratulations, you have been hired as the personal assistant…” “Really!” Grace exclaimed even before Jace Brandon, the CEO of Brandon Corporations could finish his statement. The growing sparkle in Grace’s eyes did not escape the keen sight of Jace. “To my son,” he completed. “Yes, I’m very much delighted to take up the position of the personal assistant to … your what?!” Grace’s eyes almost popped out of their socket as she completed “son?” listlessly. “You heard me right,” Jace replied coldly as he stared at Grace. “Is that not the same as being employed as your child’s nanny?” Grace asked doubtfully. “If you want to put it that way, yes.” Jace replied nonchalantly. “In other words…” Grace began. “You are officially my son’s nanny, if you accept the offer,” Jace Brandon completed. “If there is nothing else, this interview is officially over.” ********* Grace Fowler, who had always dreamt of becoming a top designer in the biggest designing firm in the country was blacklisted for exposing sensitive company information due to a set up by the ones she trusted the most— her boyfriend and her kid sister.

"This way, nobody will suspect that you don't live in my room." Nicholas gestured discreetly. "Thank you, Elder Brother. Can I borrow some books from your study?" Sarah asked while expressing her gratitude for his thoughtfulness. "Help yourself." Nicholas nodded with a warm smile. "Elder Brother, from now on, you are my favorite!" Sarah's face broke out into a smile. Nicholas gently patted her head. As it was getting late, Sarah bid farewell to Nicholas before she cheerfully crossed the secret passage and slipped into her own room. Nicholas's gaze lingered on the painting, hiding a secret passage between two rooms, his thoughts drifting. As the days passed, he grew accustomed to the subtle sounds emanating from the other side of the wall. Sarah's gentle voice humming a soft tune, her gentle whispers as she read a book, her excited exclamations when she came across an interesting scene, the soft rush of water when she showered, the soft music drifting from her cassette player, her occasional light coughs when she was under the weather, and the muffled noises of the TV when she watched movies or news. This quiet intimacy created a sense of familiarity, and Nicholas found himself anticipating Sarah's daily rhythms. What would today bring? The soft melody of her laughter or the absorbed silence of her reading, or maybe her gentle humming? Only time would tell.
