``` —Si tan solo nos hubiéramos dado cuenta de lo que estaba pasando antes... —Si tan solo fuéramos más fuertes... —Esto no habría sucedido. Arrepentimiento. Valyr sintió un inmenso arrepentimiento mientras veía el mundo ante él desmoronarse en la nada... Simplemente porque habían perdido la batalla final. A pesar de que ya había aceptado el resultado ante él, todavía sentía que estaba mal. Aferrándose a su último hilo de esperanza, decidió desear a los cielos en su momento de morir que le dieran una segunda oportunidad. Una segunda oportunidad, donde, si todo resultaba de la misma manera, se aseguraría de que su lado ganara. Afortunadamente para él... Los cielos escucharon. Renacido en el juego donde todo comenzó y todo terminó, Valyr se dio cuenta rápidamente de que no había renacido como un jugador. En cambio, ahora era un NPC. Un NPC del juego llamado Greater Beyond. Desconcertado al principio, Valyr gradualmente comenzó a adaptarse a sus nuevas circunstancias, decidiendo seguir el camino de la herrería que eligió en su vida anterior y usarlo para alcanzar mayores alturas. Mientras hacía eso, se aseguraría de que todos estuvieran preparados para la batalla final. Con eso, sean testigos del viaje de Valyr hacia la cima mientras eventualmente se convierte en...

[Congratulations to the host for awakening the Forgotten Gods' Legacy.] [Host’s Initial Power: Unseen Affinity—A connection so faint, it borders on nonexistent, offering little to no advantage in the coming war.] “This can’t be right. What kind of system is this if I’m barely more than an ordinary human?” Frustrated and on the verge of abandoning hope, Leo is ready to quit. But as he delves deeper into the forgotten myths, the world around him begins to change. Shadows stir in the corners of reality, and voices from long-lost deities whisper in his ear, revealing a truth hidden from mortal eyes. Leo’s seemingly worthless power is the key to something far more profound. The Forgotten Gods' Legacy isn’t about raw strength; it’s about unraveling the mysteries of ancient gods who have faded into obscurity. Each challenge he faces brings him closer to unlocking the true power within—a power that could either resurrect these gods or consign them to oblivion forever. In a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where forgotten deities vie for dominance, Leo’s journey will force him to confront the gods themselves, facing the ultimate choice: will he reignite their power, or let them fade into the abyss? His decision will shape the fate of both gods and humans alike. **"The Veil of Forgotten Gods"** is an epic tale of hidden power, forgotten deities, and the delicate balance between mortal and divine. For Leo, the path to victory isn’t just about gaining strength—it’s about discovering the secrets buried in the deepest shadows. ---

In "The Dark Twilight," we dive into a world filled with mystery and danger as the heroine, Kaida, with her silver hair and blue eyes, embarks on a journey full of challenges to uncover the fate of her missing brother. The city, battered by rain and storms, hides dark secrets, especially the "Oblivion Spire," which is said to consume the souls of those who approach it. With an ancient book containing mysterious powers, Kaida faces evil creatures and incomprehensible forces while uncovering secrets beyond her expectations. In a world where myths intertwine with reality, Kaida begins to discover unexpected abilities, but the question remains: what is the true purpose of this book? And what role does she play in events greater than just the search for her brother?

In a world where humanity is thrust into a magical realm teeming with fantastical creatures, every person is granted a piece of land to cultivate and a random ability ranging from F to SSS rank. Most humans struggle with their newfound powers and responsibilities, but Adam, an unassuming American, faces a unique twist of fate. Due to a delay in his transmigration, the system "forgot" him, gifting him all the leftover abilities that others didn’t choose. Armed with over 15 S, SS, and SSS abilities—some locked behind mysterious conditions—Adam also finds himself equipped with seemingly trivial low-ranked powers that turn out to be the perfect tools for agriculture, taming beasts, and attracting capable allies. As Adam builds a thriving settlement, conquers monster-infested lands, and forges alliances with powerful NPCs, he uncovers secrets of the system and his true potential. But as his power grows, so does the danger, with enemies—both human and otherworldly—threatening his rise as the *Lord of People.*

As kingdoms clash, alliances fracture, and shadows spread, Arkan must confront the overwhelming forces of annihilation and the fear within himself. But in a cosmos where nothing is certain, and betrayal lurks behind every choice, one question remains: Can he restore balance before everything unravels into nothingness? Combining fantasy, sci-fi, and mystery, Veilstrum is a journey through infinite possibilities, where hope flickers like a single thread in a world on the edge of oblivion.

---Summary--- I'm Dang Minh Nhat, I'm a miserable unemployed person who depends on my parents. My life goes on peacefully and normally. That makes me no different from a real life NPC. My hobby is reading online novels. My favorite novel is "The Mage of Destiny". And I'm a crazy fan. On the day the new chapter of that novel was released, the app on my laptop crashed and I couldn't read the latest chapter. Swallowing my anger, I slept and hoped that I could read it tomorrow morning. But when I woke up, I found myself in a completely different body. A strange face that I had never seen before. After a while of searching, I found out that I had transmigrated into the body of a character in the novel "The Mage of Destiny". An NPC named Danz Grayson. Well...since I transmigrated, I had to stay away from the main characters. I didn't want to be in danger. But I also want to be by their side and watch them grow. How difficult... Okay! I'll become a real NPC. A background character and I'll follow those main characters silently. I'll watch them grow with my own eyes. Little did I know that was an absolutely wrong decision... --- The story's pace is quite...slow. At least in the beginning. The author is very lazy so the posting schedule will be random, someday when I lose interest I might drop it. I write just to satisfy my passion, for fun. So don't attack me if my work is similar with other works. I don't have much creativity in writing... Inspired by many different novels, it's easy to see similarities, little or significant depending on the details. It's probably quite general. If you don't like it, just skip. I use Google Translate to help me write this novel so there are a lot of grammar errors and unclear sentences. If you don't understand, please just comment and I will try my best to explain it. --- ChiiRi

"All I need is a second chance..." "A second chance to make things right." Watching the world in front of him crumble before his very eyes, Valyr felt immense regret. He and his comrades made sure to prepare for every possible mishap, for every possible thing that could've gone wrong... yet in the end, their side still lost. Feeling his consciousness slip away from him, the young man screamed out into the heavens, wishing at his dying moment to get a second chance. A second chance to make things right. Thankfully, the heavens responded. Sending him back into the world where everything began, Valyr was reborn as an NPC of Greater Beyond a year before the game went live. Armed with all of the knowledge he'd gained from his past life, as well as the goal of not wanting the past to repeat itself, he was going to make sure they won the final battle this time, stopping at nothing to achieve it. Though, before he could do that, he'd first have to pick up the path he ventured in the past. ---------- Feel free to join the Discord: https://discord.gg/FU7fdYwaau

When Kael Drayth awakens in a broken world governed by a glitching System, survival becomes his only priority. He doesn’t remember how he got here, but one thing is clear: this isn’t just a game—it’s a death trap where the rules are fragmenting as fast as the reality around him. Assigned the hybrid class Edgeweaver, Kael discovers his abilities are as unstable as the System itself. Shadow-based powers grant him versatility but at a cost: every skill he uses chips away at his health, and every choice pushes him deeper into danger. The System is failing. Nodes, the anchors of this world, are shattering, spawning corrupted creatures, and unleashing chaos across the land. Kael’s only chance of survival is to restore the Nodes while navigating treacherous dungeons, unlocking powerful skills, and forming fragile alliances with sentient NPCs and players—each with their own hidden agendas. But the deeper Kael delves into this broken reality, the more questions arise. Why was he brought here? What is causing the System’s collapse? And who—or what—is the shadowy force pulling the strings behind the scenes? In a world where progress isn’t just survival but the key to reality itself, Kael must outwit deadly foes, master his unstable powers, and rise through the chaos of a fractured system. But every victory comes at a cost, and the line between savior and destroyer is razor-thin. Level up. Adapt. Ascend. Or be consumed by the collapse.
