Shaun’s life was already in free-fall: fired from a suspiciously shady job, drowning his sorrows in questionable alcohol, and wrapping things up with a classic car crash. The universe, in its infinite wisdom, decided this wasn’t rock bottom—nope, Shaun was getting reincarnated. But not as a hero. Not even as a sidekick. Nope, Shaun wakes up as **Shaun** (no, not a typo)—a tragic background extra from a fantasy novel. You know, the kind of character whose job is to exist solely for pain, ridicule, and the occasional wallet-theft subplot. This Shaun? Father walked out. Mother ghosted him for a "better future." Property sharks, mobsters, and scam artists all sniffing around what little he owns. But hey, he somehow clawed his way into a prestigious academy! A chance at redemption, right? Wrong. Enter stage left: bullies. First, the villains make him a punching bag. Then the so-called *heroes* decide, "Yeah, let’s take turns too!" Normally, this poor soul would accept his fate, because that’s what he’s written to do. But reincarnated Shaun? He didn’t read that memo. He has… let’s say, *creative solutions* to his problems. Where the original Shaun took beatings with a grimace, this Shaun hands out payback with a cold smile and zero guilt. Bullies? Meet karma, wielded like a sledgehammer. But something’s off. The script’s changing. People are acting weird. They’re *recognizing* him, approaching him like they know secrets he hasn’t been briefed on. And that internal monologue habit he has? Turns out it’s not so internal anymore. A growing number of eavesdroppers think his sarcastic, third-person narration is… important. please do not leave any review both positive or negative until you have read first 20 chapter new chapter is uploaded daily monday to saturday

Betrayal is a wound that every man has felt, I wrote this story to show how it can make a man strong. "What is the difference between a hero, a villain and a coward? A hero uses his sword to protect people A villain uses people to protect his sword Both are better than a coward A coward has no sword, and uses empty words to protect his life A sword is not just a man's weapon, it is a man's ambition, and without ambition, a man is merely a coward. In order to be a hero or a villain a man must have ambition. The difference between the two is where that ambition lies." -The Dark Prince In 17th century France, the rich nobles control the world with a magic system called "Artifacts".

500 years ago on Earth, the Apocalypse doomed life on the Blue Planet. Humanity was in a pit of hell as the Strike of Zombies, Mutation of Animals, and Appearance of Monsters happened altogether. Humankind was forced to leave their native planet for an indefinite period. For hundreds of years, humans lived in Arcadia — a planet so far away from Earth that the only way to reach it was through the Portal. For hundred of years, humans coexist with the aardeans — a humanoid race native to the Pastel Planet. After more than three centuries, conflicts between humans and aardeans spark the idea of war. Genocide of humans has always been the clear end to the war. To save humanity from yet another doom, the Leaders secretly formed the Saviors and send them to Earth. Each of the ten members of the Saviors is granted a System for the Mission, including Aksel, who is granted the Beast Monster System. To his father, Aksel is an embarrassment; but he wants to change that — so he joins the Saviors. He determines to end the Apocalypse on Earth so that humanity could return to their native planet and prevent the war against the aardeans. Aksel goes on the Mission optimistically, without knowing what could possibly happen once he set foot on the Blue Planet. *The cover art and character illustrations were made with openart.ai.

In a land where words have the power to shape reality, their literary knowledge becomes their greatest advantage. As they explore this strange new realm, they uncover a dangerous secret: the godlike creator has lost control, and now the characters are alive—and free to make their own choices. ______________________________________ What to expect: 1. Narrative Driven, the story may be a litrpg but the focus is less from the stat blocks and more to the characters and plot. Although, the stats are still very much significant.  2. Conflicts are real, this means that the main characters don't just get better and move on from past traumas right away. Improvement is gradual. If you don't like waiting, or feeling pain before having the strength to overcome it, this might not be for you (sorry, I've decided to take it to the unconventional direction) 3. There is a potential slow burn romance subplot and potential love interests depending on plot progression and audience interaction. But, I'd like to make it clear that this is not a harem. 4. A whole lot of literary allusions, if you enjoy popular and classic literature, you're in for a ride! 5. Explores the struggles of a modern day teacher in depth. This story is a quest for redemption,  6. The main characters are human, this means that they aren't the typical Mary Sue or Gary Stew kinda characters. Capable of making good decisions as much as they're capable of making mistakes. ______________________________________ Sidenote: It isn't excessively violent, in fact, it's the opposite. Just wanted to put the warning since some chapter has mild descriptions of violence. Erring on the side of caution would be best. ______________________________________ This journey is a quest for redemption, a confrontation of past regrets and the reimagination life and love in a world as fluid as ink on a page.
