Atomic Puppet

While it is true that there are a myriad of things one can get others to do for them, there are a few things a person can only do for oneself. Whether they realize it or not, men are born into a life of endless troubles, and Ming Feng is no exception. However, just as a puppeteer controls a marionette to perform in the streets, Ming Feng leads his Undead Legion into battle—his army born from a fortuitous encounter after coming close to death. Throughout his life, Ming Feng has wished to remain hidden and achieve great things from the shadows. With his undead legions cultivating independently and endlessly to reach the pinnacle of this world, full of Specter Realms and otherworldly monstrosities, Ming Feng is beginning to believe his dream could come true. However, with layers of mysteries continuously unraveling, the already perilous world is becoming more terrifying by the day. A great era is approaching—one of hidden sages and secluded cultivators.

Orphaned in the old world after taking care of his irresponsible and sick mother for years on end, Kyle finds his life turned upside down. His already dim world turns even gloomier and coupled with his trauma from losing her, Kyle felt like he had lost his purpose in life. Living day by day, akin to a soulless puppet, he struggled to keep his suicidal thoughts in check, all whilst trying to make ends meet as a cabbie. During those dark times, Kyle slowly begins to find solace in the world of music and movies. Even though it had always been there, it truly became something as a bloodline of sorts for him because, individually, both pieces of media, transported him to another world, one where he could feel happy, if even for a fleeting moment. And, as if the universe wanted even more for him, Kyle met some lovely old people, all of whom treated him as the son they never had, making him feel like he had a family after so long. This eventually, helped him let go of his trauma and turned him into the lovely soul he was always meant to be. But as fate would have it, these same people, wanted for Kyle to pursue his dreams because they saw the potential for greatness in him and the wonderous things he could go on to do, even if Kyle himself was oblivious to it. So, in an effort to make his dreams come true, they ended up gifting him a brand new chance, one that Kyle himself would only go on to realize after his untimely death in a fatal car accident. Now awake in the new world, still orphaned but with a brighter perspective on life, Kyle, armed with a System, another gift from his loved ones in the previous world, decides to take the chance to pursue his dreams of being a star, one that he was unable to pursue in his previous life due to his lack of talent. This is the story of a man who will go on to become the most versatile and renowned superstar all over the world... and it starts, just as he takes his first step into the cutthroat world of fame and fortune by registering for the popular singing reality TV competition, 'Rising Voices'. Known to be a fiercely competitive TV show, Kyle will meet with top contestants from around the world, go up against them, level up and become better, and ultimately, battle with them for the number one spot in the show as a dark horse! --- |AUTHOR NOTE| Just wanted to make it clear, that the singing competition which will be the first arc of the novel, will end around the late twenty-ish or early thirty-ish chapters. After that, you can expect so much more from the story so look forward to it! Also, although the setting is in a parallel world, all the songs, scripts and movies (although I will draw inspiration here and there), will be originals penned by yours truly (-‿◦).

I looked at death. Death looked at me. “I wasn’t expecting you to come like this…”death finally says. “Right, I wasn’t expecting it either… oh well, so am i going to be vanquished now?”, I calmly asked back. After staring at me for what felt like hours, he quietly mumbled, “ 1500 years ago, you helped me, it’s only right that i return this favour now.” “Hahaha! Are you pitying me, little brat? There’s no need though. I was getting tired of playing a puppet to those annoying bastards since a long time ago.” “You have always been an eccentric one, Chief Terra”, he sighed as he stared intently at me. “Quit staring. Hurry up and get done with the procedures. I really want to get some rest now.” “I can pull some tricks you know. , Death slowly looked away from me as he took out a greyish blue fountain pen and resumed his duties. “Ugh! Just seeing you like this reminds me of the old days as a pushover that only worked her wings off on that holy desk...Can you just start the vanquished already” Hearing my complains, Death’s hands slightly paused before he started scribbling again. “I found a loophole in the rules book sometime ago…it said that “ A mistake can be overlooked if the creator of that world itself takes responsibility by going in it and makes a unique change that changes the genre of the world and gives the readers a satisfactory ending.” “I have to listen to this gibberish rules and regulations even after I resigned! Wow!”, I didn’t flinch and kept looking back at this seven headed horse who looked like it wanted to scam me of my ticket to eternal rest. . . . I shouldn’t have agreed to that damn swindler! I should have noticed something was off when he started talking about loopholes in the Transmigration Bureau Regulations Book! I got transmigrated into the ultimate mistake of my career - “Regressing Until I Become God Again” !!! Thanks to creating the world of that novel i became the first ever God to almost create a god…which obviously went horribly wrong due to unknown reasons. Ever since then, my life as the chief of the World Creating Department of the transmigration bureau took a cosmic decline. I finally couldn’t stand it any longer and decided to resign. I felt eternal rest would be better than working as a chief who was looked down on by the enter bureau due to that incident. I had a few regrets from back then when I banished the male lead of the world into the black hole when he went on a rampage after almost becoming a god. I didn’t wish for that to happen cause i was the one who made him and that world. And now here i am, “Scale of Heavenly Virtues and Sins ” Chief Terra, an ex- transmigration bureau god instead of being rewarded eternal rest after resigning, i was transmigrated as the missing fiancé of the male lead who dies at the beginning of the novel.

In a world where everyone is a slave, someone is born who cannot be controlled. At the same time, an unstoppable villain rises on a quest for revenge. But the truth is darker than he ever imagined, and now he must face an unbeatable enemy — including himself. *** Bruno was a young man born on Earth, the son of an influential modern Emperor. Despite having everything money could buy and receiving the best and most rigorous training to succeed his father, he chose the opposite path, defying his family’s ruthless rule. The price of his innocence? A merciless death and the complete erasure of his existence by the deity controlling his fate. On Earth, the law of the powerful was absolute; a slave could never rebel. But then, he wakes up again. He’s reborn in a world of cultivation, where freedom was promised to those strong enough to claim it. Now, he could soar like a free bird and carve his own destiny... or so he thought. The harsh reality of this new world soon showed him how insignificant he still was. He realized he had only changed masters. The freedom he sought was an illusion. The heavenly laws treated everyone as servants, and their rules were unbreakable. Bruno learned this bitter truth after losing everything that made him happy due to an unjust rule. But who was he to question? Hopeless, Bruno died... and was reborn as Alm, an unstoppable villain. With a soul poisoned by pain and vengeance, he sowed chaos across the universe. Planets were destroyed, countless lives taken, and his name became synonymous with terror. A hero rose to oppose him, wielding a sacred sword of hope. People from all corners of the universe united against Alm, raising their voices and weapons to stop the villain who defied the heavens. But Alm was no longer just fighting for revenge. He was challenging the heavenly laws that sought to control him, fighting fate and all living beings. And against all odds... the sacred sword shattered. The alliance of the entire universe was defeated. The villain won! Now, Alm found himself alone in the empty void of a dead universe, facing his own inner demons. Who could be more ruthless to him than himself? “What have I done?” At that moment, the doors of truth opened to him. Everyone was a puppet of a supreme figure, an entity that manipulated minds and even the heavenly laws. “I will find you, no matter where you are!” Thus, the last emissary of the true Heaven’s Will awakened. Alm, who once only relied on his sheer will and rage, now had a system to guide him. But his opponent was an immortal existence, above even the heavens. The villain who destroyed an entire universe now faced a new beginning. He discovered that the universe he devastated was just a tiny grain of sand in an infinite cosmos, where countless other universes existed. And so begins the legendary tale of the villain’s rise... and the Sacred Round God? A strange Duality of Shadows existed within one person. But this time, he wouldn’t be alone. *** To clear up any potential confusion or frustration, here are some key points about the story. I’ll avoid major spoilers, but a few things will be revealed. You might find this concerning at first, but just check the book cover—it shows the main character and his only partner. She first appears at 10 years old, but rest assured, there’s no inappropriate content or early romance. At around 13, SHE starts developing feelings for the protagonist, but he doesn’t respond until she’s an adult. With her determined personality, she tries to seduce him at 17/18, but it doesn’t work. Their relationship only happens much later. The book has nods to other works, with my own spin on them, and focuses on avoiding elements I find problematic in other stories. Lastly, the beautiful book cover was commissioned and created by HDIArt.

“This time is different. After the 14th failure, after the 14th death—this time, it’s different. I have my powers. I will kill you this time. I will not fail again, DEMON KING!” BAM! The door flew open. “Aurelia?” “You’re late for breakfast!” came the sharp, innocent voice. Ronan turned to see her—Aurelia, a fiery, pigtailed girl with bright eyes and an impatient frown. He couldn’t help but smile. “Let’s go,” he said, standing to follow her. She didn’t know it yet, but she was humanity’s destined hero, the ultimate weapon against the Demon King. And for the first time, Ronan truly understood—he couldn’t win this war alone. To destroy the Demon King, he had to shape Aurelia into the hero she was born to be. Together, they would end the cycle of failure. This time, victory would be theirs. notice:- No Harem

What would happen if a demon was given another chance at life? He could pursue what he once longed for, the dreams that slipped away in his previous existence. He could tread carefully, avoiding the pitfalls that had led to his downfall. He could live with purpose, embracing each moment fully, free from the weight of regret. But was his rebirth truly so simple? The one who orchestrated his return must have had their own reasons. Their intentions were veiled in shadow, their motives unknown. Was this a benevolent act, or a cunning trap? Could the demon truly fulfill his desires this time, or would he fail once more, doomed to repeat his mistakes? And what of the one who held the strings? Would the demon escape their grasp, carving his own destiny, or would he remain ensnared, bound to their will like a puppet on a stage? His second chance was no gift—it was a gamble, a test of will and strength. The path ahead was fraught with challenges, each step heavier than the last. Would he break free and claim the life he craved, or would he fall again, a slave to forces beyond his control? The answers lay in the choices he would make. And this time, he vowed, he would choose wisely—or die trying.

Leng Feng looked at the woman who was crying and pleading for forgiveness. He found it laughable and, at the same time, was amused by how someone once seen as cold and aloof could now be in such a vulnerable state, easily taken advantage of. "Oh, how a lifetime of experience can transform someone from an aloof fairy to a weeping mess," Leng Feng thought and chuckled with amusement. Amidst his thoughts, Leng Feng had a realization: Was his own lifetime of experience fake? Crafted by someone to mold him into who he was now? Was he always just a mere puppet, destined to remain one in the future too? He questioned whether his love, hatred, pain, resentment, and tears were just part of a simulation created by someone. As he pondered, he chuckled at himself. Even if it was the emotions he felt were real. So what if he was a puppet? with his Chin held high, he stared at the heavens and uttered, "Against all odds, if I find you, puppeteer, you'll wish you were never born." ___________________ Disclaimer: The scenarios depicted in the story are purely fictional and should not be associated with real-life events or individuals.

Will his new ability lead him to a life of greatness he always dreamed of? Could he become a Master of Puppets? ----------------------------------------------------- Hello there, this book came after reading many of the others on here. I found that there were many things I wished they explored or genres that had more entries in them. So instead of waiting for them to be made, I decided to do it myself and free my trapped creativity. I hope you enjoy it. This is currently being written in the free time I have beside a job with a tricky schedule. I am trying to keep to a schedule of doing 4 - 5 chapters a week at minimum but will do more if i can. To make up for it I will try making the chapters between 1200 - 1400 words on average, to give you a little more to read, again sometimes even more. I hope one day I will be able to work on this more and deliver more chapters and future novels. Warnings for graphic descriptions of death and injury. There will be bloodshed. You have been warned.

In her previous life, Lina Riley harbored an unrequited love for the Fifth Princess, Victoria Ashwood. Lina sacrificed everything for her—securing her place on the throne, protecting her borders, and losing her arm and sight in the process. Yet, her loyalty was repaid with a goblet of poisoned wine and the execution of her entire family. Victoria despised her, accusing Lina of cruelty and of orchestrating her elder sister’s death, deeming her unworthy of love. When the poison took effect, Lina closed her eyes in despair, only to awaken back in the moment they first met. On that fateful day, Lina had stumbled upon Victoria being beaten by palace maids, an encounter that set everything in motion. This time, Lina turned away, choosing a different path, but a faint fragrance of plum blossoms lured her in. One reckless night led to a moment of despair when she awoke to find the coldly beautiful face of her bedmate—Lucille Everard, the Princess Regent. Lucille, while outwardly uninterested in court affairs, was notorious for her swift and decisive actions that had seen emperors replaced with alarming frequency. Compared to Lucille’s power, Lina’s past dealings with Victoria seemed like mere child's play. As Lucille stirred awake, Lina's nerves were frayed. “Given the circumstances, Your Highness, what do you think of me now?” she asked, resigned to her fate. To her surprise, Lucille chuckled softly. “I think you’re wonderful.” Stunned, Lina could only manage a confused “Huh?” From that moment, everything veered off course. Lucille's palace soon bloomed with roses—Lina’s favorite. Amidst the swaying blossoms, the resolute Princess Regent would gently take Lina’s hand, her once-frigid gaze warm and tender. “My dear Lina, you are the finest woman in the world.” In her new life, Lina often dreamed. She dreamt of someone leaving a bouquet of roses at her grave, their robes trailing the light fragrance of plum blossoms. They sipped wine with a wry smile, murmuring, “Silly girl, I avenged you.” Victoria Ashwood was reborn too. She hadn’t expected that killing Lina would provoke her aunt’s ruthless revenge. Determined to avoid a similar fate, she resolved to feign affection for Lina, even if it took a lifetime. At a palace banquet, Victoria was taken aback by Lina’s beauty. Draped in fine silks, Lina was a dazzling sight, so different from the weathered woman Victoria remembered. Drawn to her, Victoria was about to approach when she noticed Lucille at Lina’s side, gently wiping her lips with a soft smile. “Take it slow,” Lucille murmured. Lina paused, then chuckled as she adjusted a strand of Lucille’s hair. Victoria’s heart twisted in fury. When her desperate attempts to win Lina back failed, she demanded, “Why won’t you love me?” Lina sneered. “Show some respect, Fifth Princess. You should address me as Aunt. Besides, your hypocrisy and cold-heartedness make you unworthy of love.” Years ago, a young Lucille Everard encountered a lost girl in the palace gardens. The girl declared that Lucille was beautiful and promised to marry her one day. Thirteen years later, a fateful misunderstanding during a bout of poisoning entwined their paths. What began as teasing quickly turned Lucille from a hunter into prey, helplessly ensnared by the woman she never forgot. Tags: 1.

In a world where time itself is both a cage and a cycle, there is a truth darker than any shadow cast by the moon. Some things are destined to repeat, no matter how desperately one struggles to break free. Some souls are born to live their lives in endless loops, chained by forces they cannot understand, no matter how much they fight. This is the story of Sora, a boy whose existence has been twisted by the hands of fate and whose every step has been marked by an unseen puppeteer. Orphaned and alone, he exists at the intersection of broken dreams and painful truths, caught in a web of manipulation and dark secrets. From the moment he lost his parents under mysterious circumstances, Sora has been thrust into a world that holds no mercy. The cycle that binds him, and the others who are trapped within it, is more than a mere repetition of events. It is a curse, a force beyond their control, that shapes their lives and their deaths. But Sora refuses to accept his fate. With a heart full of anger, grief, and determination, he seeks to uncover the truth—about his parents, the mysterious forces controlling his life, and the dark entity known only as the Puppeteer. Alongside him is Dena, a girl who has also been scarred by the cycle and by the choices of others. Together, they fight not only for survival but for a chance to change the path they are on. Yet, in this world where every choice feels like a trap and every moment is both fleeting and eternal, Sora must confront the question that haunts him: Is it truly possible to break free, or is he doomed to repeat his fate, no matter what? Fated is a tale of love and loss, of power and manipulation, and of the relentless pursuit of freedom. It is a story about what it means to truly be free—if such a thing is even possible in a world that seems intent on making sure we remain prisoners of our own histories. The path ahead is uncertain, the stakes higher than ever before, and the price of freedom—if it exists—could be more than any of them are willing to pay. Welcome to the world of Fated. Where fate is not a gift but a curse, and even those who fight the hardest may find that they are nothing more than pieces in a game they cannot escape.

Robert was once a scientist who should've gone down in history as the modern day prometheus. The man who brough the power of the atomic bomb from the mere imaginings of men to reality. However something went wrong during the first test, and the entire world was devoured by the powers they sought to tame. Bu that was not the end.

In a world reborn after the cataclysmic end of the last era, the stage is set for a new age of gods, demons, and heroes. The gods stir from their ancient slumber, demons emerge from the abyss, and chosen mortals rise to claim their place as the era's shining protagonists. But unknown to them, a greater force lurks in the shadows. Reincarnated into this chaotic realm, a mysterious soul awakens with the power to change the world. To him, the gods, demons, and mortals are nothing more than dolls in a grand performance. With a chilling smile, he whispers to the heavens and the abyss alike, "Welcome to my show." As destinies intertwine and power struggles ensue, the puppeteer begins his game, where the lines between master and pawn blur, and no one—not even the gods—can escape his unseen hand. Will the era’s champions rise to break free from the strings, or will they dance to the tune of the Puppeteer's Game?

We are currently on a hiatus till dec 25th (date is subjective to change if I finish rewriting early) Reason: Currently in the middle of rewriting from ch 1 (better quality) + getting a bit of back log ready for daily ch posts. Thank you so much for following along till now. ——————————————————————— When I fell from that bridge, I thought I was finally going to be free. I have never been more wrong. I woke up in a world shaped by forgotten gods and cursed by powers no mortal can hope to comprehend. The kingdoms here crumble under unseen hands, ancient cards that whisper in forgotten tongues, and somewhere beyond the edge of reality, a jester laughs—his voice carried on winds that no one else can hear. They say fate is a game, and we are the pieces. But the rules are hidden, and the players remain unseen. I’ve seen the signs: spirals twisting in the heart of storms, shadows that stretch when no light falls, statues with eyeless faces that watch… and remember. But there’s something more. A riddle unanswered, a truth buried in the cracks of this broken world: Who holds the reins? Who decides what lives and what dies? I wasn’t the first to stumble into their design. I wasn’t the second. I am the last. I am the end. This is the legend of the pawn who turned the strings of fate. The fable of the twenty-third curse. The legend of the puppeteer.

On his journey through this new world, he’ll come face to face with all sorts of dangers ranging anywhere from mutants wanting to tear any human they come across to shreds for a quick meal to bandit clans that love to rape, pillage, and sell their victims into slavery. Despite those prevalent threats seeming dangerous enough to deter most from even attempting to set foot outside the confines of whatever safe haven they have, they're not even the worst of what he’ll come across in the pursuit of his goals. Dom’s quest will have him go toe to toe with the many powers that exist across the wasteland and their armies in his quest to one day conquer it. Will Dom achieve his dreams in this life or will he succumb to the many dangers that exist within the wasteland and beyond? | Other information | This is not a privilege novel and never will be.

It's entirely text-based, 300,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination. Generations ago, invaders brought magic to the Kingdom of Jubai, setting battlemages at the top of the noble power structure and leaving everyone else oppressed. Now, a secret organization of mage hunters has risen up, phoenixlike, to stand against the mages' power and overthrow their rule. As one of these mage hunters, you wield the power of slipflame, a potent energy source that powers hunter technology. When you are called to go into battle against the mages, will you blast explosive bolts from your bow, throw silence bombs to cover your stealthy approach, or control your enemies from afar with puppet darts? But the mages are not the only foes that you will face. The mage hunters have split into factions, and internal discord threatens their mission. Is there still hope for peaceful elections? And if so, which candidate will you support? What secrets lie buried in the history of your realm? When the time comes for your uprising against the mages, will you stay loyal to your order, or will the mages' power lure you to their cause?

what if you where not chosen or gifted to be a hero and had to be used from a young age to achieve a goal? going through towns, kingdoms of different races, having to fight to survive and the arrogant have the power to be arrogant. that’s the story of Mei messenger a puppet in the hand of his older sister Zinia going through through a war to win a war of three different sides.

VILLAIN!? Is that what you call me? Do you know what I have been through? Damn it! My fight is against the puppeteering strings of heaven itself. FATE dealt me this hand, and I'll find peace in it. Even if I have to end the world, I'll sit a king on its ruins. I'm not a good guy. I won't even pretend that I am. But then again, who in this world can truly claim that title? At least I know my heart. What about yours?" ..... Chiron lived an unfortunately miserable life as an orphan. Just when he managed to get rich as a result of a book about a world he saw in his dreams, he was murdered. He was even unable to enjoy his vast wealth before his death. But Fate had other plans for him. He was reborn in the same book he wrote as the main character. Appearing when he was about to undergo circumcision. But that was the least of his problems. After all, according to his book, the main character was to die at the end, risking his life for the safety of the world. To sacrifice one's self for the world was not his style. But the hunt for power and immortality---Now that was his style. However can he win when his enemy is Fate itself and the Gods that command it?...Especially with the Fate Change System he can never truly trust. ...... Note: The MC has no morality. Very Sick Shit happens in this book. I mean things that will make even your parents shy away. You have been warned!!! No Romance= (The Ancestors forbid it) Simping= (The MC would prefer Death please) Familiar bonds= (Family exists only for benefits.) Stray off the part of Power= (only to go kill a nation or something and we back on track) Note: So the first hundred chapters are endearing but very necessary. MC is at his weakest point ever. But it's also what builds his indomitable character and fearless nature. please be patient with it. The wait is worth it. {I never needed to say this before, but please read at least a hundred chapters before you leave a review. Thank you}
