Meta Cooler

The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

Plot Armor: Ordered a Burger, Got Burdened With Destiny

In the beginning, there was hunger. Not the hunger of gods nor the metaphorical yearning of the soul—no. Just regular, stomach-growling, “I skipped breakfast, and my fridge is empty” hunger. My name is unimportant (seriously, I forgot it after the third wormhole). I was an average nobody on a very average Earth, dreaming only of something greasy, cheesy, and ideally served with fries. But the universe? The universe had other plans. One wrong turn. One cursed Yelp review—one glowing burger shack in a back alley that should not have existed—and boom. I’m flung headfirst into a multiverse of chaos, chosen by a sentient deep-fryer to wield the power of the Forbidden Combo Meal. Now I’m: - Accidentally immortal - Casually vaporizing star systems when I sneeze - Being worshipped by a cult of toaster-wielding monks - Apparently prophesied to marry the Supreme Empress of the Fifth Reality (who is, yes, also a dragon) - Hunted by a multiversal HR department that claims I violated “narrative structure” - And somehow still broke because cosmic power doesn’t pay for snacks Every time I try to sit down and eat, something explodes. A timeline collapses. A villain monologues. Or worse—a new arc begins. I’ve defeated ancient evils using only napkins. I’ve talked eldritch horrors out of invading just by explaining taxes. I’ve become a god… six times. I got demoted. Twice. I have three theme songs, a fan club I didn’t authorize, and a sword that screams whenever I touch pickles. All I ever wanted… Was. A. Burger. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Plot Armor is an unhinged, fourth-wall-shattering, genre-obliterating power fantasy where one man’s lunch break becomes a battle against logic, fate, and bad storytelling. Expect: - OP protagonist energy - Absurd comedy - Meta nonsense - Chaotic worldbuilding - And exactly zero chill. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reader discretion advised: contains reckless narrative pacing, emotionally confused magical girls, and at least one sentient sandwich with diplomatic immunity.

Battle Of Planets

How far will you go to save the only home you've ever known? Tyson never wanted to be a hero! But on his 20th birthday, everything changed. A Meta-bot chose him—fusing with his body, wrapping him in powerful armor, and throwing him into a war far beyond his control. "You are now a Ranger. Fight, survive, or let Earth die." Edward said, "And remember, you don’t choose Meta-bot. It chooses you. And when it does… your life is no longer your own, Tyson." The rules are straightforward. Every few years, the intergalactic tournament commences. Earth gains additional time by successfully navigating the stages. Billions of lives hang in the balance while the battles are broadcast live—nothing more than a twisted form of entertainment for some godlike beings. "You’re not ready for this, Tyson. You’ll get yourself killed." As if fighting for survival wasn’t enough, Tyson must prove himself worthy of the Roger family name, fix his fractured bond with his adopted brother, and navigate his growing feelings for a girl he never expected to fall for—the daughter of a fallen General. But time is running out. "You think this war cares about what you want?" "No, it never has. It never will," a voice whispered. "It’s on you, kid. If you want to survive, then fight for it." ------ This novel blends sci-fi and fantasy, featuring a 'weak to strong' progression. I focus heavily on character development, so you will initially find the pace slow, but it will pick a good pace. You don't have to worry; Mc will have his spotlight in due time, but first, he needs to build himself just like all of us. I am giving a real touch so that all characters will be relatable to everyone! [ Note: I have read many novels, and among them I found a lack of depth in characters, and villains. In here they will have their own justifications like they will be humans.

Solo Leveling: I Am The Only Supreme With the Cheating System

After being betrayed by the woman he loved, Michael was granted a second chance to rewrite his past mistakes. In a world governed by an AI virtual reality game, every individual is assigned a random number of lifetimes displayed on their wrist, a counter that dictates their existence on planet Earth. When the timer reaches zero, life ends. With no means of replenishing lifetimes outside the game, more than half of humanity immersed themselves in the AI Virtual Reality game. This game is unlike any ordinary game played on phones, PCs, or tablets. It plunges players into a perilous virtual world where they must battle monsters or other players in brutal, life-or-death matches. Death within the game results in actual death—no respawns, no second chances. Only by surviving and being the last one standing can players win additional lifetimes and valuable rewards. Success hinges on a combination of luck and skill. Then, without warning, the gods revealed themselves. Unfortunately, not all of them were benevolent towards humanity. Will Michael join forces with his friends and family to confront the gods and protect humanity? Or will he walk a solitary path, demonstrating to the divine beings precisely why he was called Supreme? Let's find out. ________ Ok let me stop there, this is my third book, if you want, you can give it a try. I will release two to five chapters a day depending on my health. Thanks for checking out my book. Please leave a comment and review after you read past the tenth chapter. Thanks again. No excessive explanation or complex grammars, just as simple as the title.

Static Bride

In a parallel reality, humanity thrives on Ether—a strange, potent energy harvested from the alien element Anonium. But progress has a price: the slow awakening of the Engine, an Eldritch machine lurking beyond comprehension, its intentions veiled in static and whispers. As its influence creeps into the world, society teeters on the edge of unraveling. Caught in this cosmic storm are two high school girls from Corwood, Tennessee. Rachel Harper, a fierce basketball captain, discovers she can bend time itself—each use warping her reflection with static and chipping away at her identity. Her best friend, Emily Voss, is plagued by visions of her own deaths across countless alternate lives, each fragment pushing her closer to despair. Together, they uncover cryptic ties between their powers and the Engine, though the purpose remains a haunting enigma. Enter Elijah Carter, a weathered P.I.A. agent with a rare gift: he sees echoes of the supernatural lingering in the air. Dispatched to investigate disturbances linked to Corwood’s new Ether reactor, Elijah finds himself outmatched by forces he can’t fully grasp. Meanwhile, the ruthless drug lord Dezerea Hernandez unleashes Gloom onto the streets—a substance that turns users into static-shrouded Hollows—hoping to expose a threat she believes endangers humanity. As Rachel’s connection to the Engine grows, its cold, mechanical logic threatens to consume her. Emily, sleepless and tormented by her visions, fights to defy a fate that feels inescapable. With the Engine’s awakening looming, the line between collapse and rebirth blurs. Can two teenage girls rewrite their destinies—or will they become footnotes in a story that breaks the very walls of reality? Warning: This meta cosmic horror tale weaves violence, psychological unease, heavy foreshadowing, red herrings, and fourth-wall fractures.

Una Noche Salvaje

Lucinda Perry, una solitaria adicta al trabajo, se promete a sí misma desmadrarse en su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños e incluso tener una aventura de una noche si obtiene la tan merecida promoción en su trabajo. A pocos días de su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños, es ascendida no solo a una posición más alta, sino también a la oficina central en otra ciudad. Al tener que pasar su noche de cumpleaños en una nueva ciudad, va al club donde se encuentra con un atractivo desconocido, Tomás Hank, quien se ofrece a ser su aventura de una noche después de ver su lista de atrevidas metas, que incluía tener una aventura de una noche. Tomás Hank, después de haber sido utilizado por varias mujeres en el pasado, está decidido a conseguir a la mujer de sus sueños que lo amaría por sí mismo y no por su dinero. Así que cuando conoce a la adorable e ingenua Lucinda Perry en el club, decide ocultarle su verdadera identidad y averiguar si valía la pena mantenerla. ***Extracto*** ¿Qué puede ser más entretenido que un personaje secundario loco? Saluden a Sonia y Bryan. El corazón de Sonia dejó de latir por un segundo, y luego diferentes pensamientos comenzaron a volar por su cabeza al mismo tiempo. ¿Bryan Hank? ¿Su amor platónico estaba de rodillas frente a ella y le pedía que fuera su esposa? ¿La estaba confundiendo con otra persona? ¿Era posible que esto fuera una broma, o tal vez se trataba de una de esas bromas de celebridades y había cámaras alrededor esperando capturarla haciendo el tonto? ¿O tal vez estaba soñando? Sonia se preguntó mientras miraba a su alrededor, pero lo único que vio fueron curiosos mirones. —¡Por favor! Sé mi esposa y hazme el hombre más feliz del mundo —dijo en un tono de voz muy fuerte que atrajo la atención de todos. Su editor, al que había estado esperando durante más de una hora porque estaba tratando de cerrar un acuerdo con un productor de cine interesado en una de sus historias, apareció en ese momento. —Sonia, ¿conoces a Bryan Hank? —preguntó su editor realmente sorprendido al ver la escena ante él. Parecía que había pasado una hora desde que Bryan se arrodilló, pero sólo había pasado un minuto. Bryan sabía que ninguna mujer estaría lo suficientemente loca como para aceptar una propuesta de matrimonio tan descabellada, y aunque hubiera alguna que lo estuviera, pagarle y cancelar todo sería fácil ya que lo único que él quería era el escándalo que podría resultar de esto. Los titulares iban a ser sobre su propuesta de matrimonio rechazada o sobre su supuesto compromiso, lo cual sería suficiente para quitar a Sophia del medio. —¡Sí! —dijo Sonia mientras movía la cabeza emocionada y extendía su dedo para que él le pusiera el anillo. —¿Sí? —preguntó Bryan confuso al escuchar su respuesta. —¡Sí! Seré tu esposa y te convertiré en el hombre más feliz del mundo! —dijo Sonia con una risita y movió los dedos hasta que Bryan deslizó el anillo en su dedo. Sorprendentemente, el anillo era de su tamaño exacto y se ajustaba a su dedo como si hubiera sido hecho sólo para ella. Aplausos estallaron a su alrededor cuando Sonia se levantó con una gran sonrisa en su rostro y abrazó a Bryan antes de besarlo directamente en los labios. Bryan estaba un poco desconcertado por su atrevimiento, pero rápidamente se recuperó ya que él era el que había comenzado el juego y debía seguir la corriente. Después de todo, él había sido quien se había acercado a ella en primer lugar. Así que cuando ella intentó romper el beso, él sostuvo su barbilla y mordisqueó lentamente su labio inferior antes de separar sus labios con la lengua y chuparla de manera sugerente, provocando un gemido de Sonia. Sonia se sentía mareada. Esto era demasiado bueno para ser verdad. Tenía que ser un sueño. ¿De qué otra manera podría explicar que un momento antes estaba sentada en el vestíbulo de un hotel esperando a su editor y al siguiente estar comprometida con su amor platónico y besándolo en público?

Arkhé (Spanish)

… … Arkhé… Una búsqueda interminable, un camino sin meta, un horizonte que no puedes alcanzar sin importar cuánto camines. Para muchos, esta es la definición de la pasión por el conocimiento, el significado de filosofía, pues cada respuesta obtenida es la causa de preguntas de mayor complejidad y profundidad. Para algunos, esta es una búsqueda sin sentido, para otros esto es el objetivo que da sentido a su existencia. Tras una vida de dificultades, una persona, como cualquier otra, mortal y caduco, con su muerte ya sentenciada incluso antes de ser otorgado la vida, como cualquier otro, logró una oportunidad más. Un fiel seguidor del saber, pues conocimiento es poder, mientras que poder es conocimiento. Con esta nueva oportunidad que el mismo tejió en la realidad, avanzará por su camino sin descanso, ni ante montañas, océanos e imperios, no se detendrá, ni ante los cielos, tierra y muerte, no titubeará. Pues el propósito de la vida es aquel que te satisfaga, aquel que te permita irte sin remordimientos. En su caso, un objetivo brillaba, sobre todo, una vida que le divertía seguir: entender la realidad y volverse inmortal. Aunque dos objetivos a ojos de muchos, ambos van de la mano. El omnisciente puede y debe obtener la omnipotencia para llegar a esa altura, mientras que el omnipotente puede y debe obtener la omnipotencia para ello, al igual que no hay resultado sin causa. Moral, legalidad y relaciones humanas, clasificaciones y disciplinas de la sociedad por las que él dejó de regirse desde hace tiempo, pues como herramientas, solo están allí para ser utilizadas y descartadas una vez pierdan su utilidad. Pero, al fin y al cabo, él es solo un mortal, como cualquier otro… Este es un camino sin futuro alguno, las posibilidades de morir, siendo olvidado con el paso del tiempo, eran iguales que las de cualquier otro mortal que había muerto a sus manos, directa o indirectamente. Sin embargo, ya acabe en su meta inalcanzable, en una muerte épica o en una muerte miserable, ningún remordimiento quedará atrás, pues vivió su vida tal y como la quiso y, verdaderamente, es el camino, la misma vida, lo que da la felicidad… … …

Otherworld Odyssey: Leading My Team to a Cheat-Fueled Triumph

**Title:** *Otherworld Odyssey: Ascendancy of the Spatial Maverick* **Genre:** LitRPG/Isekai Progression Fantasy --- **Synopsis:** When ordinary college student Teng Yu is violently thrust into a realm where ancient beasts roam and arcane powers reign, survival becomes a deadly game of wit and grit. Armed only with a mysterious spatial ability that allows him to stash treasures and vanish from danger, Teng must navigate a world where the weak are devoured and the strong write their own laws. Teaming up with Luo Yue—a sharp-tongued rogue with secrets darker than the Abyss—they form an unlikely duo hellbent on conquering the Nine Forbidden Dungeons, each more treacherous than the last. From shadow-infested forests crawling with semi-divine beasts to floating citadels guarded by sentient storms, every victory fuels their rise… and unravels cryptic clues about the System that trapped them here. But this world hides brutal truths: - **A Power Hierarchy That Breaks Minds:** Spirit Adepts manipulate reality itself, while untouchable Spirit Emperors command armies of enslaved souls. - **Treacherous Alliances:** Guilds offer glittering rewards… if you survive their backstabbing politics. - **A Countdown to Annihilation:** The "Eclipse Convergence" looms—a celestial event that could obliterate their last hope of returning home. As Teng masters his spatial gifts to outmaneuver godlike foes and Luo Yue confronts a past tied to the realm’s deadliest sect, they uncover a conspiracy spanning millennia. The System isn’t random—it’s *breeding* warriors for a war beyond dimensions. --- **Why It’s a Page-Turner:** - **Cheat Code Meets Strategy:** Teng’s spatial hacks aren’t instant wins—they demand ingenious combos (e.g., teleporting explosive herbs into a dragon’s gullet). - **Morally Gray Thrills:** Luo Yue’s “ends-justify-the-means” ethos clashes with Teng’s idealism, sparking fire-forged loyalty… or betrayal. - **Looming Cataclysm:** Every dungeon cleared accelerates the Convergence’s arrival. Will they escape… or become pawns in a cosmic game? **Perfect for fans of:** *The Ripple System’s* clever progression, *Cradle’s* breakneck pacing, and *Omniscient Reader’s* meta-twists. --- **Opening Hook:** *The first rule of surviving the Otherworld? Never trust a smiling stranger. When Liu San offered me ale, I knew his dagger would follow. What I didn’t expect was the spatial ripple that saved me—or the System message blazing in my vision: **> Survival tip #2: In a world where magic is currency, cheat wisely… or die screaming.*** : Based on the protagonist’s spatial abilities described in the original work. : Inspired by the power hierarchy and mystical elements from related novels in the genre.
