"If you don't have a system, then you don't have a class, and if you don't have a class, you don't have any limits, Cassius." Cassius's fake system said. *** My name is Cassius Blackwood, I am the illegitimate son born between the greatest swordsman in the empire, and the master of the Magic Tower. Yes, the one people expected to be a 1-in-a-million genius. As a result, I grew up in a house full of love and kindness despite being illegitimate. That is, until my tenth birthday when I failed my awakening ceremony. You can imagine how people started treating me after that. My parents, who had high hopes for me, abandoned me. After 10 years of training in hopes of awakening, I succeeded. But only as a "systemless hunter." And as we know, it's impossible to succeed as a hunter without a system. When 'The Blackwood Trial' took place, which is meant to determine the next head of house Blackwood, as everyone expected, I was the first to die. So, why did I go back to when I was 10 years old right before my awakening ceremony? *** Tags: #transmigration (the MC isn't the transmigrator) #regression ( the MC is obviously the regressor) #reincarnation #no-harem #romance #singlefemalelead #revenge #evil #cruel #mage #swordsman #returnee #fantasy-empire #dungeons #system( Fake system) #cultivation (done differently) #rarebloodline #action #fantasy #secretidentity join my discord: https://dsc.gg/Rerian long link: https://discord.com/invite/wARbcq8kzG

If you love Manipulative weak main characters then you would most likely enjoy this story. It features a weak main character who is debuffed. Non-harem fans could also give it a try since it doesn't include love or romance with several women. Harem fans might also find it interesting, as the main character manipulates several individuals, including women. The story contains a lot of sexual content, given its urban fantasy background with the presence of noblemen. It features deep world-building and a medium-paced development that is neither too slow nor too fast. In the year 2031, the earth has further advanced in its technological developments. Though there are democracies, republics, and several other systems of governance followed by various countries, there is still one country that adheres to the feudal system—the Arinphiam Empire. The empire is divided into three parts, where the royal family coexists with the central government to control the empire, keeping it as one of the strongest nations on planet Earth. The richest man on this planet belongs to this empire, where noble families still exist, governed by laws specifically made for them by the royal family instead of the central government. Marquess Avendial Croceaus has finally returned to the past, to the year 2031—a year before the tower's arrival—on the date where his downfall began. As he returns to the past, he discovers himself facing the initial setback of his life, where accusations of treason are soon to fall upon him. This world-building novel presents a completely fresh story with new ideas and plots, where the efforts of the main character lead him to become the one who changes his fate as a villain. Content warning: Adult R-18 Chapters without any warning, as they could be part of the story, a slow but well-paced story to provide the detailed idea about the world-building, a weak main character with the debuff of seven curses, making him even cut off from the chances of growth.

In a world ravaged by monstrous beings from another universe, a young hero fights with all he has to save humanity. His ultimate sacrifice in battle unlocks a second chance: He returned to the past with the power to turn back time, granted by a system designed to help him rewrite the fate of his world. With memories of the devastation etched in his mind, he is determined to right the wrongs, restore hope, and prepare Earth for the forces that nearly destroyed it. Although he's focused solely on humanity’s survival, fate has a different path for his heart. As he rebuilds his life, a group of extraordinary heroines gravitate toward him, each sharing his mission and willing to help him find a life beyond war and duty. Yet, his single-minded drive makes him oblivious to love, and it will take patience and persistence for his allies to help him open up and see the life he deserves. Driven by purpose, grounded in sacrifice, and unyielding in the face of evil, he will do whatever it takes to bring peace back to his world—even if it means accepting love along the way.

Locations in the story are used purely for world-building purposes, and as the story progresses, these places will cease to exist. I guarantee at least a release of two new chapters each week for now.

Reincarnation. Or rather... transmigration. Whatever it is, it wasn't something i ever thought i would be a victim of. But here i was... ... a villain in the very game i died playing. But... as though that wasn't enough. I am not even going to make it past the first arc. Scratch that. The very first day in the academy... ... that's the day i die.

I never thought that my life would take such a drastic turn. One moment, I was a regular high school student, and the next, I found myself in a completely different world. A world where animals ruled and humans were the outsiders. It all started when I had a near-death experience. The last thing I remembered was a blinding light, and then, I woke up in a forest. However, I wasn't myself anymore. I had been reincarnated as a small, fluffy rabbit. I couldn't believe it. I was now a mere prey animal, vulnerable to every predator in the forest. But I refused to let this be the end of me. I had always been a determined person, and I wasn't going to let this new body stop me. So, I started to observe the animals around me, learning their ways and techniques for survival. I learned how to be quick and agile, how to hide and camouflage myself, and most importantly, how to fight. I knew that if I wanted to survive in this world, I had to become stronger. And so, I set out on a journey to become the top predator in the forest. I challenged animals much bigger and stronger than me, using my wit and agility to defeat them. Slowly but surely, I started to climb up the food chain. As I became stronger, I also gained a new sense of respect and admiration from the other animals. They saw me as a survivor, a leader, and someone to be feared. I had gone from a weak and defenseless rabbit to a powerful and respected predator. But my journey didn't end there. I soon discovered that there was an ancient evil lurking in the forest. A dark force that wanted to bring darkness and destruction to the land. And I knew that it was up to me, the newly crowned top predator, to stop it. With the help of my animal friends, I embarked on a quest to defeat the evil and protect our home. It was a dangerous and challenging journey, but I was determined to see it through. And in the end, we were able to defeat the darkness and bring peace back to the forest. As I looked back on my journey, I realized that getting reincarnated into an animal was the best thing that ever happened to me. It had made me stronger, braver, and a true leader. And I couldn't wait to see what other adventures awaited me in this wild and wonderful animal world.

One of the seven strongest people on the continent, the King of Mercenaries. He started a war to avenge his fallen family and destroyed territory but failed and lost his life. However… “Wow, I’m alive?” I returned to the past, back through time. A perfect opportunity to right my regrets and reverse everything. It doesn’t matter if people around me point fingers, calling me a scoundrel, or dismiss me as tr*sh. Because… “I’ve got a plan.” “What plan?” “A plan to destroy everything.” There won’t be a second failure. This time, I’ll wipe out all my enemies. …But first, I need to rebuild this damn estate.

Ten years ago, the world was torn apart by the sudden appearance of mysterious "Rifts," gateways to unspeakable horrors. For a decade, humanity waged a desperate war against creatures they couldn't comprehend, and now, the world lies in ruins, with only a few survivors clinging to life. But what if the story wasn’t over? What if there was a way to turn back time, to undo the devastation and rewrite the fate of the world? Would you take it, knowing the cost?

"So, Diana, what's your excuse for betraying me?" His amber glinted eyes bore into the woman with bloodied, broken blue hair, kneeling in complete disarray. "... you're evil." "Oh, so, looking out for all of you makes me evil?" The man narrowed his eyes, contemplating the echoes of protagonist halos and heroines' mentality, starkly real now. Coming from a world far removed from such grim reality, he had read about these personalities in novels, but experiencing their shortcomings firsthand was a different story. "How am I evil?" He looked down at his foot where a young man, limbless and crushed, lay in a state of complete brokenness, mustering the little strength he had left to utter some words. "... y.. you ba..stard, You killed millions." Hearing these words, the man's internal amusement grew at the absurdity of these hypocritical people. He had eradicated all the evil organizations within the Empire after ascending to his throne. Wars were waged to crush rebellious kingdoms that stood against his Empire, uniting the entire Heidal Continent under one flag—the Selvius Empire. He shifted his gaze towards another woman with pink hair, her body completely broken, supported by a rock to maintain a semblance of balance amidst the devastation. "Hmm, so what about you, Karina? Wasn't your family about to be executed by the Aidiac Royal family? Is it wrong for me to have intervened?" "You killed them without mercy, and although you saved my family, it was not worth it." "I just saved—" "It's bullshit. You could have solved everything peacefully without drawing so much blood." Hearing all this, the man began to understand why those novels depicted these people as hypocritical and low in intelligence. If he hadn't saved them, they would have suffered the most gruesome fate. Yet, despite being saved, these ungrateful individuals chose to blame him. The bitter irony of their ingratitude gnawed at him, leaving a bitter taste in his mouth. "Guess you all have the same reasons." The man looked towards the seven people, their disdainful gazes directed at him. He had only aimed to change their fates, to rescue some from slavery, others from crippling circumstances, and a few from inevitable betrayal. Yet, they all blamed him for saving them, unable to comprehend that he had severed the root causes that would have subjected them to excruciating suffering. "Hahaha." "Indeed, now I see." He now understood what those novels had tried to convey—'these idiots think this whole world works like they think it would.'

Don’t forget, Blair. He doesn’t love you. So this time… I’ll leave you first.

"The Puppet Emperor Regresses" is a tale of betrayal, redemption, and vengeance set in a world of swords and sorcery. Mikhail Robinette D'Arcy Ironforge, once a disillusioned office worker named Albert Mannery, finds himself reborn as the fourth prince of the Tiberian Empire. Gifted with memories of his past life and a mysterious System granting him extraordinary potential, Mikhail believes he's been given a second chance at greatness. However, fate has other plans. Sabotaged during a crucial magical ritual, Mikhail's mana heart is shattered, leaving him powerless in a world where strength is everything. Branded as the "Crippled Prince," he endures years of humiliation, betrayal, and political manipulation as various inexplicable circumstances led to him being crowned as the emperor of this vast kingdom. Without the magical or martial might to enforce his will, Mikhail becomes a mere figurehead, a puppet dancing to the strings pulled by cunning nobles and power-hungry courtiers. Every decree he issues is ignored or twisted, every attempt at reform thwarted. He watches helplessly as his empire crumbles around him, unable to protect even himself, let alone his people.
