Arcane Playground Cover

The 22nd Century Devil's Playground. The most popular single-player VR RPG ever made. Everyone loved it. The crazy freedom, the insane storylines, and the brutal politics—it was a masterpiece. And then there was Kaius. A nobody graphic designer working at Goman Games World Limited, the company behind it all. He seemed to have the best life at first glance: a fat bank account, supportive parents, and a girlfriend everyone envied. But guess what? He hated it. Every bit of it. Nothing mattered anymore. So when he died in a freak accident and woke up inside Devil's Playground as a prince, Kaius thought he’d hit the jackpot. "This is it! My second chance to live it up." Yeah, no. Reality (or whatever this was) slapped him hard. Turns out, he wasn’t just any prince. He was the forsaken prince. No power. No allies. No one who cared if he lived or died. Welcome to rock bottom, Your Highness. ***** [Hidden conditions met.] [Assimilating with host.] [Universal Civilisation System successfully bound to host.] "A system? Wait, does this mean…?" Kaius froze, then grinned like a lunatic. "This is just like those webnovels! I’m the protagonist now! Oh, this is going to be epic." But life as a protagonist wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Politics? Ruthless. Trust? A myth. Survival? A full-time job. In a world where betrayal lurks in every shadow, kingdoms are built with iron and blood, and everyone has a secret, Kaius must fight for his place. ***** Bonus chapter for every 3 reviews.

Elias Graham was just a university student—an engineering prodigy who spent more time in his workshop than anywhere else. But when a failed experiment drags him into Arkanis, a world where magic reigns supreme, he quickly learns that power is everything. Summoned by ancient prophecy, the mages of Arkanis expect him to be a hero. There’s just one problem—he barely has any mana, and he can’t cast a single spell. Faced with nobles who look down on him, battle-hardened warriors, and an academy designed to train the strongest mages, Elias does what he does best—he builds. Armed with nothing but his knowledge of modern technology, Elias designs a mana-powered gauntlet, a device that absorbs, redirects, and manipulates magical energy in ways no one has ever seen before. His victories catch the attention of both allies and dangerous enemies, including powerful noble families who see him as a threat to tradition. As the looming Demon Scourge prepares to invade Arkanis, Elias must push the limits of his inventions, forging new weapons and strategies to survive. If he wants to carve his place in this world, he’ll have to prove that technology can stand against magic—or die trying. The battle for the future of Arkanis has begun. Magic versus science. Tradition versus innovation. Let the Engineer’s War begin.

He must outwit Seraphina Drakthar, the fire-wielding villainess who sees him as a pawn; earn the trust of Elara Veyliss, the saintly heroine with a hidden darkness; and ally with Lira, a fellow transmigrator who warns of the world’s unraveling glitches. With a forged Rune and a talent for manipulation, Aizen vows to defy his fate, even if it means burning the script to ashes. But as the Blood Moon Festival looms—a night of betrayal and bloodshed—Aizen’s actions ripple beyond his control. Bonds fracture, secrets ignite, and the line between ally and enemy blurs. Can a mob rewrite his destiny, or will he become collateral damage in a story that never wanted him?

That changed when my gaze fell on the pulsating light that joined my presence in the expanse of darkness.
