Reincarnation is an enigma. It leaves people asking questions while offering no replies. And I just got reincarnated. In a new world… well, calling it a new world is incorrect. It's more like a parallel version of the Earth I used to live on. ---------------------------------------------------------- Hello, law_of_luck here. I just want to clear up a few things before you start reading: • First, I’ve kept the synopsis to a bare minimum to avoid spoilers, so you can discover the new place the main character is in along with him. • Second, this is my first time properly writing a novel, so please feel free to offer any advice or feedback about my writing. • And third, please enjoy reading.

In a world turned into a deadly game, Alex Grant, an ordinary high school student, finds himself thrust into an apocalyptic reality where Earth has been selected as Game World N31459. With invaders and monsters descending from the skies, humanity is forced to fight for survival. As Alex navigates through the chaos, he discovers a game-like system in his mind, granting him access to items, abilities, and quests. Using a rare "Blessing Stone," he gains temporary god-like powers, boosting his strength and endurance. Tasked with surviving the first week of the invasion, Alex fights terrifying creatures and encounters other survivors, each struggling to adapt to their new powers and the terrifying monsters attacking their world. Along the way, he earns valuable loot, including rare "Awakening Stones" that promise to unlock even greater power. With his R-level potential, Alex quickly becomes a force to be reckoned with, but the battles only grow more dangerous. The world has become a brutal game of survival, and Alex must use every advantage he gains to protect those around him and unravel the mysteries behind the invasion.

From the moment I stepped into the elite high school, I knew I was different. Not in the way these privileged brats thought they were special, but truly different. I am Ram Raghav, and this is my story—a tale of manipulation, power, and deception. In this school of future leaders, they believe in merit and excellence. What they don't realize is that true power lies not in grades but in control. I blend into the shadows, a ghost among the living, pulling strings and planting seeds of chaos. Every move is calculated, every friendship a transaction. They see a quiet, unassuming boy, but behind this facade lies a mind honed by my father, the feared mafia kingpin Raghav Raghav, and my mother, the ruthless lawyer Aishwarya Raghav. As I navigate through college, the stakes grow higher. I find comrades, pawns in my grand design, unaware of their roles in my schemes. Together, we face challenges, laugh, cry, and grow, but only I see the bigger picture. Every success, every setback is a step closer to my ultimate goal. Entering the political arena, the game changes. Here, my father’s lessons in power and my mother's legal acumen merge. I start as an advisor, an apprentice in the dark arts of political maneuvering. They teach Machiavelli; I live it. I outwit, outplay, and outlast, climbing the ranks while maintaining my unassuming exterior. But politics is merely a stage, a platform to launch my true ambitions. The world of espionage and crime beckons, a labyrinth of shadows where my skills truly shine. I dance on the knife's edge, outmaneuvering enemies both foreign and domestic. Betrayal is a currency, loyalty a rare gem. Trust no one, use everyone. Through it all, I am the puppet master, orchestrating a symphony of deceit. They call it ruthless; I call it necessary. For in the end, power is the only truth, and I intend to wield it with an iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove. I am Ram Raghav. They see a student, a friend, a politician. What they don't see is the darkness within, the cold, calculating mind always three steps ahead. This is my story, a tale of deception, power, and the relentless pursuit of control. Let the games begin.

Demons in Academy of Light are described as vile, dark, cruel, evil, impure, and a whole lot of other things. At least, that's how they're portrayed in the game—a sacred land where demons and dark energies aren't supposed to exist. That's how it was supposed to be... So what the hell am I supposed to do now? Thanks to my rotten luck, my soul ended up possessing the lowest-ranking demon, the one who dies at the very beginning of the story... I'm screwed! I have no other options left... If I want to survive, I have to kill the protagonist.

Max, an ordinary student, found his world upended when powerful, chaotic, God-like beings descended upon Earth, bestowing grand and bizarre abilities upon humans while compelling them to participate in their perverse games.

After completing a hardcore game after numerous attempts, Elias felt that he had finally succeeded in doing something in his life. However, this happiness proved fleeting. With the game conquered, there was only a deep feeling of emptiness left. "You win" As he stared at the simple yet deep message, he was left wondering... What now? What was the meaning of his life now that the game was conquered? Yet he knew that he was only lying to himself. Deep down, Elias already knows the answer. He had already died the moment he completed the game. His life lost all meaning the instant he completed the game. Thus, with a smile, he decided to end his life. There was no point in living further. After all, Isn't the pursuit of happiness the ultimate aim of all living beings? He had found his... only to lose it just as quickly. As Elias pulled the trigger, expecting nothingness to follow, he found himself in a strange space along with a new feeling... The one of hate. "I hate the world so much that I want to destroy it." "I hate myself so much that I want to destroy myself." "I hate the unknown so much that I want to know everything." "I hate the unknowable so much that I want to comprehend everything." "I hate the unforgivable so much that I want to forgive everything."

DESTINY GAMES. It has been 85 years since Earth-11 became aligned with Yggdrasil and 73 years since Icon became the first demigod from Earth. Icon, as the first demigod, was privileged to weave the thread of fate for everyone. He was supposed to cut off Yggdrasil and free Earth-11 from the grasps of the other Earths and their god kings. That's why everyone helped him climb the tower of Destiny. But instead of ridding earth of Yggdrasil, he turned the destiny of mankind into seven rings of immortality.  The first ring was for the immortality of power. The second was for the immortality of the knowledge. The third, fourth, fifth, and sixth were for the immortality of the mind, energy, body, and soul. The last ring, the ring of the paragon, was made to rule them all.  Icon kept the ring of the paragon for himself and became a dictator. He ruled with an iron fist for many years. His was a reign of terror. But he was eventually vanquished by the collective effort of the world.  It has been 62 years since then. Icon is no more, but the damage he had done still remains. Earth-11 is still connected to Yggdrasil. The deadly games of the Tower of Destiny still remain, and the fight for the seven rings of immortality still continues.  Kelvin Thorn has just awakened his ability. It came at a good time too since he is running for his life. The ability he awakened saved him, but it came with a cost. He must climb the tower of destiny under the witness of the whole world and accumulate destiny, or he will die.  His situation is not unique. Everyone that awakens, which is mostly everyone, must climb the tower of destiny. It is one of the curses that Icon left behind before he died. But Thorn is different because the seventh ring found him.  The tower of destiny is where everyone granted power by destiny, be they humans, non-humans, or otherworlders, must fight in games of might, skill, and knowledge to gather the power of destiny. They will either die or eventually overcome death. Kelvin will be one of the latest in the line of billions of others in this struggle. 

[WSA 2024 Entry] Everyone is playing a regal game. Everyone except Lucia (who probably should). After her father faced accusations of trying to seize the throne from his father and king, he was exiled along with his family. They were no longer royalty, but his wife would not have it. She was friends with the queen of Vershia and used that to her advantage. Her two older daughters were the right age to marry the two princes, and she would make that happen come what may. That became a problem when the oldest daughter was ignored by the crown prince, who formed a friendship with the youngest of the girls. There was still hope; Lucia could become the future queen. But Lucia was not groomed for this role. She did not want to live for the type of marriage she could snag. She did not want to take the man who had been planned for her sister. But that’s the thing with plans, isn’t it? She never planned to fall in love with the man, and there she was: an unwilling participant in the regal games. Would she capture the crown? How would everything affect her relationship with her sister? Was there ever pleasing her mother?

It had started simple. He woke up, met god and died alone. Death isn't the end, it was just another party. It's a strange land, but it will be his kingdom. Or he could just die again, that's always an option, until it isn't.
