Ash Gym Leader

There wasn't much to be said about the life of Akhil—at the age of 8, he lost his father at the hands of his most trusted business partner, who was also on his way to becoming the world's richest businessman. This left Akhil with no option but to use that traitor's daughters as a means to kill that man—a rather typical story where the main character takes revenge on his father's killer by making both of killer's daughters yandere. Of course, this wasn't a random fantasy story where he could just reach someone like the world's richest man—sitting at the highest point of the hierarchy—so the most he could do was act as the kind child he once was to those girls and slowly build trust and obsession, which finally bore fruit, and Akhil died. Indeed, how could he even be able to kill a man who possessed that amount of wealth? So, he died in front of both of those women—making sure that they saw him bloodied and dead..... The End. Or at least this was what should have happened. DING! [ SUPREME YANDERE SYSTEM —Tada!! ] He opened his eyes inside the body of the Emperor of a ruined kingdom at the edge of the Human Zone—a group of three continents where humans lived while under constant attack from the threat of the 7 Demon Gods—and found himself in a sick body. A kingdom that was nearly collapsing due to corruption, the presence of holy light bearers—Heroes and Heroines—and a world filled with artifacts and fragments scattered around the bloodline—he who needed to lift the whole kingdom up again, hold the reign of a broken kingdom, and move forward. Now born as King Lysanderic Aleria Vandreat, he has only the support of his Supreme Yandere System. Oh, he awakened it too, but when did he? Read the Story... [: The main character is cruel, and there will be darkness in his actions, so enjoy the light in the first ten chapters (those are before he was reborn) and smile as you see the comedy and slight introductions to the characters. ] [ Suggestion: If you don't like to know about Main character background, then skip starting 10 chapters. (Yes, the previous chapters are a prologue (not boring ones as they are important for understanding the main character and his future artifacts. Ahem.) ]

"Senior brother, brooms can't fly!" "I was thinking a bit of mana would do the trick." "Senior brother, what's the deal with uranium ore and herbs?" "I was thinking I could rub up a nuclear reactor." "……" "How did you manage to do it?" "Nothing's too difficult if you're willing to think it through!" Song Yin addressed his junior brothers, "As long as you think it through, that's enough.

In a world ruled by the iron fist of the Helvark Empire, freedom is a distant memory. The empire has conquered most of the known lands, wielding powerful ancient technology and forbidden magic to crush all opposition. Its ultimate goal? To awaken an ancient force that will ensure their dominance for eternity. However, in the shadow of oppression, a spark of rebellion ignites. A diverse group of outcasts, warriors, and visionaries—each with their own reasons to despise the empire—join forces to fight back. Among them are a disillusioned imperial tactician, a spirited rogue from a forgotten tribe, and a mysterious artificer who holds the key to the empire’s darkest secret. United by their hatred of tyranny but divided by their ideals, the group must learn to trust each other as they unravel the mysteries of the empire’s power. From infiltrating heavily-guarded fortresses to uncovering allies in the most unlikely places, the rebellion wages a desperate war to reignite hope in a world consumed by despair. But with the empire’s grip tightening and betrayals lurking around every corner, can the rebellion rise like a phoenix from the ashes—or will they fall like countless others before them?

In the fractured world of Eronth, two primary forces dominate: Elemental Flux and Void Flux. Elemental Flux grants users the ability to wield powerful artifacts that can be strengthened through the Dominions, ancient forces tied to those artifact wielders. However, these powers are bound by bloodlines, with the purity of one's bloodline determining their strength and status. Over time, the once-pure bloodlines have diluted, causing artifacts to break into fragments, making the restoration of these powerful relics impossible. In contrast, Void Flux users draw power from dark beasts that roam the wilderness. They infuse the corrupted energy cores of these beasts into their artifacts, enhancing their strength at the cost of corruption, twisting both the artifact and the user. The hierarchy of power in Eronth is defined by the purity of bloodlines and the mastery over either fragmented Elemental Flux artifacts or the corrupted Void Flux-enhanced relics. But not everyone was on board with tradition. Three thousand years ago, there was a Goblin emperor from the Pureblooded Line of Eros who was overly ambitious for power. He began to engage in some seriously forbidden practices. In his wild pursuit to become the most powerful ruler ever, he abandoned the traditions of the world and opted for a life full of excess and debauchery. He was using some unethical methods to collect artifacts from many women, each one holding a fragment of their artifacts passed down through their bloodline. There is a saying—everyone desires power, and if they can't get it, they try to make sure the one holding it is erased from existence. All the Empires around him banded together against him, calling his actions a total blasphemy that could tear reality apart—Dragons, Elves, Dwarves, and Humans—stood against the Goblin Race. This sparked a huge war where his enemies went all out to take him and his whole race down. If he had actually done something wrong on his own, they wouldn’t have gone and killed off his entire race—some of them definitely survived—a handful of them. In the end, they captured him—destroying his tainted artifacts and burying his legacy under the rubble of a fallen empire that had now turned into broken and barren land. Time flowed naturally, and after three thousand years, when the world had changed so much, He came back. Different from before. He is the Leader of Goblin Debauchery—the sole holder of EROS FLUX. >>> NO NTR, NO YURI....

As Nox begins to uncover the secrets of this world, he discovers that he, too, can harness these extraordinary powers. But there's a catch - his personality starts to change in ways he can't control. Meanwhile, the girl he’s grown close to harbors a dark past, one that changed the course of her live in way Nox never imagined. Even more intriguingly, he finds a way to travel between this strange world and his own - Introducing modern knowledge to this, otherwise primitive world. -------------- As this is my first novel that I will publish, don't expect the best story or fabulous character development.

However, I will use correction programs to spare you all from grammar PTSD. --------------- -NO ntr, No yuri ; There will be: -spice -lemons (not very explicit though but I will make a discord channel for that) -gore -harem with 3 to 4 woman (might change if readers don't want it) mc is mostly neutral but some actions will be evil ------------------------ I don't own the cover art and all rights belong to the original artist. ##Release every Saturday## Discord: https://discord.gg/9zdCMtJMuk

For years, he knew only stillness. Confined to a body that refused to move, unable to speak or act, his world was reduced to the smallest of motions—a blink, a breath. He had lived on the fringes of existence, watching life pass him by while his dreams withered, unreachable. On modern-day Earth, his broken body had long sentenced him to a life of quiet despair. Then the world changed. When the heavens split and the Cultivation Assist System descended, the rules of reality were rewritten. The Awakening brought power, opportunity, and a spark of hope to every corner of the world. For him, it brought a miracle: the chance to heal. The system mended the broken shell that had confined him for so long, restoring his strength and granting him the body he had always longed for. For the first time in years, he stood, felt the earth beneath his feet, and believed he could rise alongside the world’s new era. But even miracles have limits. While others rushed into the grand Pagodas—the centers of knowledge and cultivation where the strongest paths began—he was denied entry. Barred from the heart of the Awakening, he was forced to endure its trials on the outskirts. Every step forward came harder for him than it did for others. He clawed and fought for scraps of the opportunities others seemed to have handed to them. But he did not stop. Through sheer determination, he began to ascend. Slowly but surely, he carved out his place in the new world, defying the odds and the whispers of those who doubted him. He could see the life he had dreamed of—freedom, power, and the chance to soar—just within reach. But the world was not as kind as he believed. Just as he reached for the heights he had fought so hard to claim, betrayal struck. The knife that ended his life came not from an enemy, but from someone he thought loved him. The warmth of trust turned to the cold sting of death, and in his final moments, as the darkness took him, he wondered how he could have been so blind. But death was not the end. When he awakens again, in a new life and body, the memories of his first remain vivid and sharp. The struggles, the triumphs, and the bitter sting of betrayal—they burn within him, forging a determination that will not be silenced. The Cultivation Assist System is still there, but the rules of his second life are different, and the world he returns to is even more dangerous than before. Ashes to Apex follows the journey of a young man who rose from nothing, fought against impossible odds, and was struck down before he could truly soar. It is a tale of rebirth, ambition, and the unyielding drive to rise beyond the limits of fate. As the embers of his first life ignite a new flame, one question remains: How far can he rise before the ashes of his past threaten to consume him once more?

Stepping onto the path of immortality, the journey is fraught with peril, storms raging at every turn. Countless times, death came knocking—teetering on the edge of despair, on the brink of annihilation.
