Arknight Perish

In a dystopian future, where the world is starkly divided between the high-tech enclaves for the 'Elites' and sprawling, impoverished slums for the marginalized masses; Rico, a mere 'slumdog,' hits the jackpot — getting selected to become a 'stellar traveler,' an opportunity that will give him a chance to escape from the abominable environment and tap into the world of luxury and comfort. But unbeknownst to him, a sinister conspiracy had already been woven for the past two decades, hiding a devastating truth from the public eye — the sun was dying, and finding a new home for humanity became a matter of existential urgency. The plan was simple — "Evacuate the Elites and let the dirty poor 'wretches' perish with the planet itself." Thus, Rico's journey starts; blissfully unaware that his fate is about to take a dramatic turn, one that'll change him completely! It'll test his patience and perseverance, push him beyond his capability, question his knowledge of reality, and turn his life upside down. But, at what cost? ***** Welcome, my fellow readers!

After a grueling battle against the final boss on the 99th floor of the tower, Kael Shizer stood victorious—humanity’s last hope. But just as he thought he had finally won, his wounds proved fatal, and he perished. Or so he thought. Instead of fading into oblivion, Kael awakened in the body of his younger self—on the very day the Tower first appeared. Given a second chance, he vows to climb the tower once more, correcting past mistakes and making full use of his knowledge of the future. But this time, he won’t follow the same path. This time, he’ll rise as a Rogue.

Before him stands a colossal Demonic Skeleton Dragon, the master of a dying dungeon, who sees him as an intruder—and a potential soul to devour.

With no time to understand his situation, he takes a gamble, striking a deal that changes his fate forever. As the dungeon seals their contract, Keon unlocks the Immortal Rift System, granting him abilities, stat points, and a mysterious new path forward. But the dungeon holds secrets far beyond what Keon could have imagined. And this is only the beginning.

When Ed served in the military as a mecha-human, he never thought about the future. Like every soldier around him, he believed he would eventually perish in the line of duty. And he never feared that outcome—after all, he had nothing to lose except his life. The only thing that could be called entertainment in his existence was a novel he had been forced to read. A dull, uninspiring story. Or so he thought. Who would have guessed that the very same novel would become his greatest asset after his death? Reincarnated into that same world, he now finds himself in the role of a minor villain—the one destined to murder the heroine’s parents. Born into a family that loves him, yet heading toward a doomed future, he realizes one thing: If he doesn’t take the protagonist’s place, everything will collapse. And so, he must change the story. ***** A/N:- I suck at synopsis. My grammar won't be perfect but I will try to keep the story interesting. Give a few chapters of read before judging. The starting might be cliche but as you proceed further you may find something new and interesting.

In a world where every person is born with a spirit insect granting them unique powers, everyone is bound by the laws of fate and power rankings. From rank D to S, all strive to reach the top. But hidden beyond common knowledge lie the secret rankings—SS and SSS—where those who possess them do not follow the rules; they become the rule itself. Raine Earthon was born in a poor village deep within the forests, an outcast, weak, and without a visible spirit insect. He lived in disgrace, beaten and humiliated—until the day everything changed. In a single moment, the Black Butterfly awakened, an SS-ranked insect with a power beyond imagination—the ability to control fate itself. But this was no gift… it was a curse. When fate knocked on his door once more, it led him to the slaughter… to the massacre… to an eternal damnation. Drenched in blood, surrounded by the torn remains of his village, something new was born within Raine—something devoid of mercy. And when the secret organization stood before him, seeking to control him, his response was simple: rejection of the entire world. From that moment, the era of chaos began. Raine was no longer human, no longer just an insect wielder—he became a living catastrophe. Armies would perish, empires would crumble, and fate itself… would either bow to him or be torn apart. In the end, nothing would remain… except the abyss.

Humanity’s greatest calamity, the war of Miseria, raged for 15 years in the 1800s, a conflict so ruthless it made demons seem merciful. Every nation took part—the powerful waged war like beasts, while smaller nations struggled to survive. By the time the bloodshed ended, over one-seventh of the world’s population had perished, leaving 200 million bodies rotting across cities, rivers, and mountains. Starvation took countless more, and the war’s damages exceeded one trillion. The world drowned in the scent of blood, decay, and endless cries of suffering. And yet, no one knew why the war had started. Whenever people demanded answers, governments repeated only one chilling phrase: "There is a devil beneath the Atlantic Ocean. Whoever tames it will rule the world." Now, seven years later, the world is still recovering. The Industrial Revolution has ignited rapid progress, but the scars of war remain deep. In the city of Akuro, located in the heart of the Atlantic, an 8-year-old boy, Shin, and his younger sister search desperately for their missing mother.

After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
