"Hold on..." The rustling of falling clothes magnifies under the silence of the night. Lying in the midst of torn corpses and bloody soil the couple entwines under the moon. Protected only by the clothes spread out beneath her the young woman shivers. Feeling the touch of his slippery tongue running across the curve of her back. "Wait." She murmurs... "I can't." The man answers as callused hands slip into the fabrics of her dress. It's not that, she tries but unable to express. "They're... watching..." The man laughs instead, "is this another way for you to reject me?" No. That's not it the young woman thought as she listens to the voices overhead. "Hey! Move over, I can't see!" "See?! What are you watching!? Roll to the side, she's my representative!" "Shut up! I can't hear the sounds!!" "Calm down everyone." Tears gather at the corner of her eyes as the young lady listen to the conversation above. Biting on her lips she really wanted to shout to the sky, "you shameless deities!! Stop watching!!!"

In a world where ancient rulers known as Archons once wielded unimaginable power, a legendary figure named Aeonith falls in battle, sacrificing everything to protect his realm from chaos. The gods, hungry for destruction, believed they had extinguished his light forever. But fate has a twist. Aeonith is resurrected as Zaryth, a seemingly ordinary 16-year-old boy from a prestigious family entwined with darkness. With only fragmented memories of his past life, Zaryth struggles to navigate his new reality, where he is seen as "good for nothing" due to his small mana core. As he grapples with his identity, Zaryth learns of a devastating secret: his twin sister, Ruby, a gifted magician with unmatched potential, has vanished. Driven by a desperate need to uncover the truth and reunite with her, Zaryth embarks on a perilous journey filled with cryptic clues and dark forces that lurk in the shadows. But the path is fraught with challenges. As Zaryth confronts the remnants of his former life, he discovers that unlocking the Archon within him may be the key to his survival—and the salvation of the world. With every step he takes, the boundaries between dreams and reality begin to blur, and Zaryth finds himself caught in a web of intrigue that could unravel the very fabric of existence. Can he rise to the occasion and embrace his destiny, or will the darkness that once sought to destroy him consume him once more? The answers lie hidden in the whispers of the past and the mysteries of the future, waiting to be unveiled.

What kind of realm would you choose to live in after digitizing your mind? For Amun, that was a magical world where he could be free to learn until his end of days. What he got was to become the living god of a vast realm in an odd universe. A being who'd be born with the world. And later stripped of it all. A being of juxtaposition and contradictions. A sinner and a saint. A wise sage and a genius scientist. A loving creator and a baleful explorer. An elf and a devil, living in a world of might and magic. But all is not what it seems. Peace is fleeting. Figures loom in the light. Forms strafe through the trees. And one Amun is woefully ignorant to the ways of a realm so ripe for change. Yet he is one who cannot help but change it. So he devotes himself to forming the greatest guild the Mortal Plane has ever seen, intending to change his world and others for the better. And yet, somewhere along the line of his undying march, Amun evolved into the being all denizens of the Mortal Plane either revered; or feared.

In this world, ascending to upper realms is a matter of resources and ability. No matter the status or power level, if you have the money and the willingness to, you can live in any realm of your choosing. However, the higher the realm, the more power there is to tap into and cultivate. Who is brave enough to seek the Supremacy and rule the world? By: Jerlani

Which gives them a System Panel that can provide many knowledge and Skills depending on what they do. A young boy named Kass has awakened a strange Innate Skill named [Nine Lives Cat]. This Skill gave him nine lives, and as long as he died, he could return to the day he received this Skill, along with being able to bring things from his previous life to his next life as well. ... The seasons have changed; many years have passed. Kass has gone through many ups and downs in his life. Whether it's a happy story or a sad story, until the day he 'betrayed' the association he had worked for all these years and was killed by a man who was like his younger brother. And the Skill worked as it should. Send him back to the day he was about to begin his journey from the village. But for some reason, when he checked the Innate Skill, Kass found that this 'second life' was actually his 'ninth life'. And in his Innate Skill Section, an additional mysterious Skill with an unknown name and unknown effects had appeared. What is the origin of this Unknown Skill? Is it something that interferes with [Nine Lives Cat] Skill? Can he unravel the mystery of this Unknown Skill? Perhaps this journey in this 'second life' would give him the answer to the question.  Where are his lives?

I'm not the greatest author, but I plan to consistently update this project, even if I have to write significantly slower than what you typically find on this platform. (My apologies!) Below, you will find some key notes that might be nice to see before becoming invested. PACE: 1 ch/week For now, I plan to write roughly 1 chapter / week. However, this might change in the future as I acclimate to writing more frequently. (Or if this story randomly becomes very successful.) MONEY: At least first 50 ch FREE I know I just mentioned this story becoming "successful", which typically entails paying the author and bla bla bla. BUT! I like the idea of this just being my story with no hooks or lines for a while. I plan to make the greater first chunk of the story free. TRENDS: ~~Overpowered~~ Honestly, I hate the concept of things being "overpowered". It reminds me of the first time I hacked my favorite childhood videogame. (It sucked the fun out of it completely.) That being said, I want this story to involve genuine challenges that take effort or risk to overcome. GENRE: Action, Mystery I would like this story to focus primarily around Action and Mystery. There might be some mild things tossed into the fray like comedy and romance, but don't expect anything too raunchy. DISCORD: -not yet implemented- I may eventually start a discord for this story. It could make a good library for supporting lore or artwork, as well as a place for people to discuss their theories or leave feedback. For now, this discord doesn't yet exist, but I will update you here when/if that changes. OTHER STORIES: Paused A few of you may have known me from my previous stories. I know, you may be pretty bummed that I haven't updated either in a really long time. There were some pretty hefty flaws in those stories that I kind of beat myself up over. (I actually formed this story while trying to restructure the surface world for 'Reincarnated as a Haunted Machine'.) For now, this will be my only work, as the world I live in has become rather complicated in recent years. Perhaps at some point, I will return to my other works, but for the foreseeable future, this story will be my one true love.
