I Became The Tyrant Of A Defence Game

The chosen one blessed by divine light. The holy leader who unites kingdoms and vanquishes evil. The sacred figure all darkness trembles before. That is what a Pope should be. But me? As someone thrust into papal robes with a mysterious system window glowing before my eyes, I had one clear thought. "Finally," I whispered, gripping the Scythe of Judgement. Did I just inherit the ultimate religious authority? Is this my chance to wield divine power and command respect? Absolutely. And that's exactly the problem, because being Pope means every faction wants to control or kill me. Demon Generals hunt me personally. Political schemes surround my every decision. Ancient prophecies mark me for cosmic battles. "Perfect," I muttered sarcastically. "Just what I always wanted—a target painted on my back," I laughed bitterly while dodging another assassination attempt. Curious why I'm not thrilled about divine power? I should mention the most crucial detail about papal authority in this world. The thing is... Popes don't retire peacefully. Every previous Pope died violently. If history taught me anything, it's that holy authority comes with a very short life expectancy. Ideally, I'd like to survive past my first month in office. Thanks for nothing, mysterious forces that put me here. Little did I know, survival was just the beginning...

The sun is bleeding. The world has turned to hell. The end of times... is here. Everyone is fighting for their survival. Everyone but one man who decides to play god. Why join the 'good' side when an entire playing field awaits you on the 'evil' side? It's going to be a wild ride of betrayal, setbacks, sacrifice and... evolution of a human to the zombie overlord.

His name was 25. On Avalis, he was just one of many tasked with fulfilling missions for Earth’s people. This time, he was given a simple one—live as Zeno Han and have an ordinary life. Easy. Or so he thought. The moment he took over Zeno’s body, someone shoved a script into his hands. “You’ll be perfect for this role!” And just like that, he was on set. [Fame Meter: Unable to Measure. Off the charts.] Doctor? Check. Pilot? Check. Eunuch? …Regrettably, check. Every script forces him to relive past missions, and somehow, he’s nailing every performance. Now, the industry wants to make him a star, but can he still complete his mission? Or will fame—and the terrifying unknown of failure—be his final curtain call?

Konrad was hardworking — used and abused, until he found himself on his deathbed, alone. Lu, his guardian angel, offers him a second chance. His memories remain, he can pick where he reincarnates, and even grants a wish — to be in control. It can mean many things: a harem, wealth, or power. Konrad wants to turn the tables on the oppressors, but his benefactor has an agenda of his own, too. Lu doesn't care if he succeeds; he wants to feed on his suffering in yet another life. Now it's up to Konrad to become a victim, or rule the new world with an iron fist.

When asked the question, "If you were to transmigrated into a novel, what kind of character would you want to be?", many people would probably want to be the heroic main character or the powerful villain. Some would even choose to be the background character or just a simple passerby. But for Wei Yan, he knows exactly what he wants to be, “I want to be a system!” …not just any ordinary system but rather an omnipotent system that stands on the side of the villain. - A/N: The cover picture isn’t mine, credits to @CHA_E_moum

Welcome to Aethelgard — where emotions glitch harder than any dragons. Livia was just your average psychology student—until she got hit by a motorcycle, fell into a coma… and woke up inside an MMORPG. Not as a hero. Not as a mage. Not even as a legendary assassin. No. She respawned as an NPC Mental Supporter Lv.1 — a useless class with zero attack skills and zero respect from literally anyone. She thought her new life was doomed. Until the strongest (and most mentally unstable) guild in the game, Bloodbath & Beyond, “kidnapped” her... …and made her their official guild therapist. Monsters fear them. The developers can’t delete them. And only Livia stands between them and complete emotional implosion.
