The Price Is Right Double Overbid

In this post apocalyptic world full of death, danger, and disasters, humanity has been forced to live in large walled off citadels. In the face of overwhelming power, and calamities only the "Pathseekers", those that have been granted a "Path" are to able learn supernatural powers to protect humanity. Liam Mason found himself reincarnated as Lucian Vanarik in a small mining town in the Lotus Citadel, called Backridge as an orphan. Life as an orphan is already a fight for survival. But Lucian believed that although hard, life is at least peaceful. That is until he got entangled in the dangerous world of Pathseekers.

Welcome to a world of swords, sorcery, and supreme identity crises. Kaen Vale was nobody. A pub-crawling barfly with more bruises than brain cells, he spent his days chasing cheap ale and losing bets to retired mercenaries. Life wasn’t perfect, but at least it wasn’t magical—until one day he opened his eyes and found himself wearing the crown, the robes, and the terrifying reputation of the world’s most feared tyrant: Rael Ithos, the Archmage King. There’s just one tiny problem: Kaen can’t cast a single spell. Waking up in the middle of an assassination attempt, Kaen barely dodges death by playing the world’s most outrageous bluff. With a talking cloak (Mimic) whispering fashion advice and ancient secrets in his ear, a suspiciously loyal commander watching his every move, and a sword-swinging heroine hell-bent on fulfilling a prophecy that ends with his decapitation, Kaen has exactly zero room to breathe. Or fail. To survive, he must master the deadliest court in the realm, fake magical genius, unravel cosmic conspiracies, and maybe—just maybe—become a better ruler than the tyrant he replaced. But with every choice, every lie, and every flash of Rael’s haunting memories clawing at the back of his mind, Kaen is starting to wonder: Was Rael truly a villain? And if Kaen wears the mask long enough... will he still be Kaen underneath? --- Prepare for: Court politics served with sarcasm and sabotage. A talking cloak with sass, secrets, and style. Enemies who flirt with their blades (and sometimes their hearts). Explosions. So many magical explosions Kaen definitely did not cause (okay, maybe a few). This is a tale of mistaken identity, reluctant heroism, and the absurd joy of bluffing your way through an apocalypse. It’s the kind of story where the protagonist doesn’t get a cheat system, the villain’s plan actually makes sense, and nobody’s getting overpowered because they ate a fruit, read a scroll, or tripped on a dragon bone. Fans of political fantasy, magical mysteries, and snarky underdogs with zero qualifications—this story is for you. Kaen Vale didn’t sign up to rule the world... ...but if the crown fits, fake it till the throne stops spinning. --- Tags: Fantasy, Action, Reincarnation, Kingdom Building, Magic School (sort of), Enemies-to-Reluctant-Allies, Secret Identity, No-Magic Main Character, Cloak with More Personality Than the MC, Final Boss Energy --- Perfect for readers who love: Overlord meets The Emperor’s New Groove Schemes that backfire in glorious, hilarious ways Magical girl-level transformations, but for tyrants Prophecies that need therapy Found families, reluctant friendships, and morally confused mages --- A refreshing change of pace from the usual “I died and became a god in three chapters” template. If you’re tired of protagonists collecting harems faster than they level up, or villains that turn good because the main character smiled at them once—welcome. Updates twice weekly. Bring snacks, lower expectations, and enjoy the ride.

Publicly humiliated and executed by guillotine, she dies screaming curses at the traitors. But the gods are not done with her.

Waking ten years in the past, Jin finds himself in the body of Rael Drayce, the academy’s weakest and most ridiculed student. With no skills, no allies, and the face of a child long forgotten, Jin resolves to live differently this time—not to conquer, not to rule—but to find peace. Yet peace, like power, comes at a price.

After a year of relentless effort, Alex becomes the first to conquer a tutorial quest deemed impossible by the entire playerbase of Endless Leveling Online. But instead of loot or leaderboard fame, he earns something far stranger—an invitation from the God of Games. He was given a one-way-trip to Arcana. A world where stories shape reality, where he could become the Protagonist of his own story. In a land of endless possibilities and ever-shifting destinies, Alex would try to bend the rules, rewrite fates, and forge his own legend. But being the Protagonist means more than glory. It carries a heavy responsibility. As secrets unravel and alliances are tested, Alex must decide whom he must protect, and save before the world collapses under the weight of its own story.

A boy who has forgotten even his own name, hating humanity and its civilization that reeks of lies, is raised by the ruthless yet honest laws of the forest. For him, life is synonymous with survival; his philosophy is pragmatism, his weapon is raw instinct. This one-man kingdom is shaken by an ancient, moon-white tree he discovers in the heart of the forest. The spiritual fruits it offers promise a chance to "ascend," but the boy's nature is not to trust, but to test. This mistrust culminates in him witnessing the creation of a monstrous abomination (Yaoguai) when he experiments on an innocent animal with the pure, uncontrolled life energy (Qi). Forced to consume the fruit himself to defeat the beast, he is driven to the brink of madness, attaining a flawed yet overwhelming power through a Qi Deviation (Qi Zou Ru Mo). Unable to contain this new, wild power, his body pushes him to create his own hell. Without a master or a technique, guided only by pain and the will to survive, he begins a journey of superhuman Body Cultivation (Tixiū). His ultimate goal is not to accept the ancient tree as a gift, but to uproot it like a prize, to possess the very source of his power. The tree's mental assaults on him reveal fragmented memories of a manor in flames and a sorrowful lullaby, hinting that a personal tragedy lies at the root of his hatred for humanity. His journey takes him to the fringes of civilization, to the Thunderclap Peaks. Here, he chooses the Path of the Rock to tame his power and, in the process, makes his first contact with established Cultivator Sects who become aware of his existence. This encounter transforms him from a mere beast into a strategist who uses pawns for his own gain. "Zarziyan: The Price of Ascension" is not just a story of empowerment, but a saga of a lonely soul searching for his identity, confronting the ghosts of his past, and in the process, transforming from a monster to a king, and perhaps even to a god. It is the tale of a conqueror forging his own path with blood and steel in a world beyond good and evil, where absolute will and power are the only law.

Seven years ago, the Kingdom of Songrin burned. Once a marvel of mechanical brilliance, ruled by the fierce and fair Mechans Aiden and Moira, Songrin fell into ruin when their throne was seized in a brutal coup. On the night of their assassination, their only daughter, Princess Zora, was critically wounded. Refusing to let her die with them, her parents sealed her inside an underground bunker, entrusting her broken body to their most loyal and brilliant Mechan—a master cyborg constructor bound by oath and circuitry. They didn’t just save her life. They rewired it. Now, Zora awakens from a regeneratory sleep meant to last twenty years—but something has triggered her return too soon. Half human, half machine, with no memory beyond her last scream, she emerges into a kingdom twisted by corruption, cruelty, and the reign of the man who destroyed her family: Horam. Haunted by the dream of her parents’ torture and the chilling words of the man who wanted to make her his slave-bride, Zora opens her eyes in the darkness. Her body may be repaired, but her heart is broken—and her fury is just beginning. As questions flood her waking mind, the Top Mechan reveals the truth: it's been seven years since the fall of Songrin. The world she knew is gone. But her destiny is not. Zora must navigate a realm ruled by violent duels, iron laws, and bleeding circuits. She must uncover what became of her mother, and reclaim her right to rule—but first, she must become more than a girl who once dreamed of vengeance. She must become a weapon. The revolution begins when she wakes. Hi Lovely readers. I really hope you'll enjoy this book and be a part of its growth by reading and engaging with me through comments.

In the Book of the Heralds, it is written what a priest must give to gain power: "Forget joy; understand what power brings. Power brings misery, and to understand what misery is, one has to forget all joy. Understand this, human, for those who are powerful should carry the pain of the living on their shoulders and the pain of the dead in their hearts. So those who have no power can live with joy." Join Kanrel on his quest to find the truth of the mysteries that he is presented with: the Angels and the Otherkind; what is their connection; and why do the Angels prophesy of a coming war, an ascension of the Otherkind, and the destruction of humanity by the will of the Betrayed? Follow him as he starts as a novice and becomes a fully-fledged priest while vowing to carry the burden of power for the sake of the weak, but all comes with a cost... Forget joy. - - - What to expect: The story is a bit slow, mainly focusing on thoughts, different ideas, and feelings that the main character, Kanrel, experiences in his life. So do not expect many action sequences. FYI, this story was first posted on to another site/app by me. I would link it here as proof, but I am not sure if it is okay to link to another site that offers a similar service as does WebNovel. Also, the picture in the book cover is generated via the AI option here.

In the rain-slicked, gaslit city of Dunholm, the dead do not rest easy—and for Cædmon, they do not rest at all. As the city’s official Echo-Walker, he is a man blessed and cursed with the ability to step into a corpse's final moments to witness the truth of their demise. It is a grim art that has cost him his peace, staining his soul with the phantom pains and sorrows of the departed. When he is summoned to the scene of a seemingly simple murder, he uncovers a crime that is too clean, too perfect. His investigation reveals an impossible truth: he is hunting not just a killer, but a conspiracy of "Scriveners," shadowy figures who can forge memories and rewrite a soul's final testament. Now, an outcast from the very law he served, Cædmon must hunt a conspiracy that the world doesn't believe exists. His only allies are the ghosts of the dead themselves. But in a world where memory can be a weapon, how can you trust the truth, even when it comes from beyond the grave?

Death is not death This is what came to my mind when I woke up at that moment to this new life. In a fragile world, values crumble before a curse with no name… except “Nothing.” An unknown sin born within certain humans, devouring them in silence, announcing their end before they ever begin. Maithen, a boy from the depths of poverty, is one of the marked… known only as “the Phantoms.” His life was a margin in an unwritten book, until the signs began to burn through him: Cold bleeding, dark dreams, and screams no one else could hear. Then… death. But death was not the end. He awoke in a land without time, without sun, without meaning… known only as The Black Land. A realm torn between reality and illusion, inhabited by broken souls and beasts called “Chaos”— creatures born of human sins… reborn in flesh and ruin. In this world, there is no law but survival, and no survival without power. And in the midst of the dark, Maithen’s true phantom awakened— the very force that once consumed him… now became his weapon. A power beyond understanding, shattering logic and dissolving weakness… but it comes at a price. Along his path, he will meet those who were once human, now something else. Some flee. Some rule. Some seek an exit that may not exist. And the question that haunts him like a shadow: Is the curse within him… or is he the curse?
