Is a peaceful life too much to ask for?" Tega Bridges was just another soldier crippled by the cruelty of war. Bound to a wheelchair for the rest of his life, he spent his days running a dilapidated bar—a family inheritance and the last asset he had. One fateful night, after serving a homeless man who seemed insane, Tega found himself standing before a radiant goddess who promised his dreams could become reality if he lent her a hand. Reincarnated into the mysterious world of Arcania—where mana capacity determined ones social standing—Tega was reborn without an ounce of mana, marking him as an anomaly in this bloodthirsty land. Unfazed by his lack of mana and the poor treatment he received, Tega tried his best to grow stronger. Discovering that he had to meet impossible requirements to use his golden finger, Tega was left powerless in a world teetering on the brink of war. How could someone who couldn't even protect himself aid an enigmatic figure like a goddess? He just wanted a simple life, so why did fate keep shoving him into the heart of conflict? If he could spend the rest of his days in seclusion, he'd take the chance without hesitation—but his destiny had other plans. For some, despair might seem the only option. But to someone who had faced even worse hardships, it was merely a stepping stone to something greater. Destiny wasn’t set in stone, and fate could be tamed. If you can't change your fate, then you live your life like a puppet. Tega refused to let his story end as it had before. This time, he would seize control of his own destiny. Unwilling to succumb to the whims of fate, Tega makes a pact with a mysterious being, gaining the power to finally change his life—at a cost.

"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. In his dying moments, Mikhail activates a legendary Temporal Anchor, sending his consciousness back in time to the day of the fateful ritual. Armed with the bitter wisdom of his failures and a burning desire for vengeance, Mikhail vows to rewrite his destiny. Now, a man with the mind of a seasoned emperor in the body of a young prince, Mikhail must navigate the treacherous waters of imperial politics, unravel the secrets of magic and cultivation, and turn his greatest weaknesses into strengths. In a world that once broke him, can Mikhail forge a new path and claim the power he was denied? Or will the weight of fate prove too heavy even for a twice-reborn emperor?

After a brutal coup wipes out the royal family of House Silverleaf, Prince Arin is thrust into the role of Emperor, a position he never desired. In the decadent and corrupt empire of Elaria, Arin—a trap with an alluring beauty—must navigate a treacherous court filled with nobles who feign loyalty while secretly plotting against him. Many ambitious lords and ladies outside the capital yearn to usurp the throne or carve out their own kingdoms, viewing Arin as a mere puppet in a game of power. Determined to gain control over his fractured empire and find the person responsible for the assassination of his family—especially his beloved mother, the only one who ever truly loved him—Arin must tread carefully in a society where status and influence mean everything. In Elaria’s sexually liberated society, open intimacy during court proceedings is a privilege reserved solely for the Emperor, making Arin both an object of desire and a target for manipulation. Among the common people, public displays of affection are neither encouraged nor criticized, treated with indifference. In stark contrast, nobles flaunt their desires freely, wielding their power without fear of repercussion. High-ranking nobles may engage in acts of dominance over others, while lower-ranking nobles risk being targeted if they flaunt their influence too openly. As Arin learns to wield his charm and seduction like a weapon, he must confront the pervasive corruption that threatens to tear his empire apart. In a world driven by lust, ambition, and betrayal, Arin faces a relentless battle—not only to keep his throne but to avenge his family and restore his empire’s integrity from within.

Instead of wallowing in despair, fate intervened, giving her a second chance at life—waking her up ten years earlier, just before the chaos began. Armed with wisdom, she promised herself not to repeat the same mistakes. As she stood at the top of the stairs, her gaze fell on Lucas, her once-beloved fiancée. Regret washed over her; she couldn't believe she had almost let him slip away. This time, things would be different.

Li Huang died and was resurrected in a strange world, becoming the Emperor of a dynasty, but was scorned by his siblings, the people, and the nobles, who saw him as nothing more than a worthless puppet emperor waiting for death.

Everything was going according to plan—until my life was turned upside down. I had just graduated from university and was ready to start my career, fulfilling both my goals and those of my parents. But then, disaster struck. —— Creation of the World—a game that grants its user the ability to control a limitless world, with the power to create and destroy anything without restriction. Cassian watched helplessly as Earth was consumed by the world he had built. Unable to intervene, he suddenly found himself in a body that wasn’t his own. Cassian Starhold—the older brother of the world’s greatest hero. —— I was content with my life as a puppet, a slave whose only purpose was to toil away, sacrificing everything for a few worthless scraps of metal. But my enemies couldn’t leave me in peace. They brought war to my doorstep and destroyed everything I had spent my life building. I stood among thousands of their strongest sons, as they listened to the man who had ignited the fire in my life. Towering and imposing, he spoke from atop majestic marble columns, his gray hair blending with the crowd. Thousands of people, all sharing his features, gazed up at him with eyes filled with admiration and ambition. “People are not equal!” he declared, his voice dripping with arrogance. “We are the pinnacle of evolution! There is nothing beyond us! We have risen above piles of inferior blood, leaving massacres in our wake. And now, you are about to inherit this legacy.” He paused, surveying the crowd below with cold pride. “But this power must be earned. It is not granted by birth. Wealth, power, status… these things demand mountains of victims just to catch a glimpse of them.” His arms stretched wide, madness and pride gleaming in his eyes, and the crowd mirrored him, thousands roaring with fervent pride. The sight was terrifying. “You have no idea what your ancestors sacrificed to put you here. But you will learn. And I swear to you, with my pride on the line…” “Only those worthy of us will survive!” "Soon, I will show you why we are called dragons!" What these so-called dragons don’t know… is that a puppet will rise to shatter their illusions. He’s wrong. None of them will survive. ====== Author's Note: As you can see from the tags, the MC will eventually become a villain, but not at the beginning—and not even within the first three arcs. I'll take the time to carefully build his character and develop his transformation in a way that feels natural and logical. His ultimate goal is to return to his original family, so he harbors a deep hatred for the world he’s been pulled into. This novel will explore darker themes like slavery, murder, mind control, and betrayal. However, it will not contain R-18 content, so if that’s what you’re looking for, you might want to reconsider. The MC won’t be OP from the start, nor the smartest, but he will quickly gain experience and grow.

The only thing that I want from you that to be my puppet and playing role for me.

VILLAIN!? Is that what you call me? Do you know what I have been through? Damn it! My fight is against the puppeteering strings of heaven itself. FATE dealt me this hand, and I'll find peace in it. Even if I have to end the world, I'll sit a king on its ruins. I'm not a good guy. I won't even pretend that I am. But then again, who in this world can truly claim that title? At least I know my heart. What about yours?" ..... Chiron lived an unfortunately miserable life as an orphan. Just when he managed to get rich as a result of a book about a world he saw in his dreams, he was murdered. He was even unable to enjoy his vast wealth before his death. But Fate had other plans for him. He was reborn in the same book he wrote as the main character. Appearing when he was about to undergo circumcision. But that was the least of his problems. After all, according to his book, the main character was to die at the end, risking his life for the safety of the world. To sacrifice one's self for the world was not his style. But the hunt for power and immortality---Now that was his style. However can he win when his enemy is Fate itself and the Gods that command it?...Especially with the Fate Change System he can never truly trust. ...... Note: The MC has no morality. Very Sick Shit happens in this book. I mean things that will make even your parents shy away. You have been warned!!! No Romance= (The Ancestors forbid it) Simping= (The MC would prefer Death please) Familiar bonds= (Family exists only for benefits.) Stray off the part of Power= (only to go kill a nation or something and we back on track) Note: So the first hundred chapters are endearing but very necessary. MC is at his weakest point ever. But it's also what builds his indomitable character and fearless nature. please be patient with it. The wait is worth it. {I never needed to say this before, but please read at least a hundred chapters before you leave a review. Thank you}

Cursed with perfect foresight in his second life as a noble heir, Aldrich Vale is dying of boredom. Every scheme, every political play, every "shocking" event at his prestigious academy unfolds exactly as he predicts—until he decides to break the system just to see it burn. But his game of chaos awakens something darker. Now childhood friends reveal deadly secrets, rival heirs circle like wolves, and ancient families move their pieces in a game far more sinister than he imagined. In a world where noble blood determines everything, Aldrich must realize: is he really the puppet master of chaos, or just another piece on someone else's board?

Ren dies and reincarnates in a novel he read in his past life. That’s what he thought, at least. There’s a catch though. He is reborn as a villain. The ridiculous thing is that he wasn’t reborn as a major villain, nor as a minor villain, but rather as a lackey of a third-rate villain that appears only once in the story. After his awakening, he joins the elite royal academy. It becomes clearer and clearer that the fantasy world was not as in the novel. He later finds out that this world is completely different from the novel. He never trusted it anyway. His fate seemed to be playing with him. Nothing went according to plan. It felt like he was dancing in the palm of someone’s hand. He felt that he was merely a pawn in a higher entity’s game. It frustrates him. During one of his adventures, he comes to learn of a minor fact. The universe itself is after him! And that crazy being wants him to get rid of it. That was the last straw. He had finally snapped. He had had enough of being their pawn. He would no longer be the puppet. He would be the puppeteer instead. ……… DON’T expect a heroic or villainous mc. The main character’s personality may not seem that great at first, but trust me, It will make sense later. ……… [Warning: There will be plot twists, so hang on to this roller coaster. ] ……… PS: I release on Mondays.
