"Ah, Young Master, Cassius?...I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to hear that he's not available at the moment as he's 'attending' to his adopted mother in her room." Cassius's lovely maid, Isabelle said in a fluster while she heard lewd sounds escape from her Mistress's room. "No, I'm sorry to say that you can't meet Young Master today, since he's 'helping out' his sister-in-law with some 'favours' in her garden." The innocent Isabelle excused herself as she witnessed her lady's flower being picked, instead of the rest of the flowers in the garden. "I hate to say this sir but Young Master, Cassius is currently guiding Miss Knight in the 'ways of the sword', so you can probably only meet him tomorrow." Isabelle once again blocked the guests from entering, knowing that the sword her Young Master was handling could penetrate a body, but could never wound one. "I apologise once again as Young Master is at the Capital right now teaching a class to the female students in the Academy." Isabelle said with her cheeks flushed, already knowing that her master was taking a very 'practical' lesson about human reproduction with the girls in his class. "Oh my! The King wants to meet the Young Master?...Well I guess he'll have to wait since Young Master, Cassius has gone clothes shopping with the Queen." Isabelle lied to the King himself, knowing that her Young Master wasn't shopping for clothes and was actually removing the royal clothes off the Mother of the Country. Excuses...Excuses...The loyal maid, Isabelle had no choice but to make excuses for her Young Master, who was the most talked about and hated noble on the Continent because of his depraved escapades with all sorts of woman ranging from his own Family to Royalty itself and his Tyranical rule over his estate. And to think that not too long ago he was considered a wastrel noble, who was going to drink himself to death one day. ...When did it all begin she wondered as she excitedly walked into his room to get the reward she deserved for being such a loyal made, while someone else made excuses for her this time. •°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°• [No NTR - No Yuri - No sharing - No system that assists the protagonist - No mind control - No drugs or potions that influence the girls - No unnecessary Drama - Incest - Harem - Hardcore Netori - Slice of Life Romance - Demigirls - Elves - Vampires - Beast Girls - Slaves - Royalty - Finally a very competent protagonist]

Antes de la caída, hubo una traición. Lucifer, el más brillante de los ángeles, no desafió al Creador por ambición, sino por desprecio. ¿Cómo podían los ángeles, forjados en la perfección, inclinarse ante criaturas frágiles, hechas de polvo? Su rebelión no fue solo un acto de orgullo, sino de furia contra la humanidad. Y por ello, fue condenado. Arrojado al abismo junto a sus seguidores, juró destruir el mundo que tanto despreciaba. Durante eras, sus legiones esperaron, pero la profecía marcó el inicio de una nueva era. Las puertas del infierno se abrieron, y con ellas emergieron demonios, monstruos y bestias que devoraron la tierra en caos y desesperación. El cielo y el infierno se preparan para el enfrentamiento final, mientras la humanidad, atrapada entre dioses en guerra, lucha por sobrevivir en un mundo donde la esperanza es apenas un susurro entre las sombras. La última batalla ha comenzado. Y el destino de la creación pende de un hilo.

Synopsis: It's been a while since I last came to this restaurant. As I walked in, I noticed how little had changed—the same cozy atmosphere, the familiar scent of wood-fired pizza, and the sound of a sports game playing on the big screens. I found a table for one and settled in, ready to enjoy my meal. That’s when I saw her. She was standing by one of the high tables, eating hot wings. I had just pulled out my chair at a single. There were only three singles in the place. Most of the tables were quads, and three of them were standup. She was by herself, and my eyes just slid over her without even registering what I was seeing. Then I did a double take. She was gorgeous! She had long red hair, that sort of flaming orange you see sometimes. She had on a tight skirt and top that showed off all her advantages, and she had plenty of advantages. Some loser wandered over and tried to strike up a conversation with her. I saw her give him the brush-off. She was gorgeous! She was also lethal and deceptive, and she would break your heart. I knew because I'd been married to her for five years. Her name was Sara, she worked for a huge radio station as their star attraction and I hoped she wouldn't see me.

There’s this super-famous game series called First Fantasy—people usually call it FF. It’s a massive franchise, loved by everyone from casual gamers to hardcore fans. They made an anime version of FF, but it’s often called the biggest flop in the entire series. Why? Because the main characters never catch a break, and the story is full of gloomy, depressing twists. Most people hated it, saying it’s the darkest stain on FF’s record. Some fans even refused to admit it was part of the series! The official title of the anime is First Story, but in a joking way, people started calling it FS to make it sound separate from actual FF. In this infamous anime, there’s a villain named Arc Noyadarma. His name sounds all grand and evil, but he’s basically just a throwaway bad guy. His final scene is so brutal that viewers don’t feel satisfaction—only trauma. Now, our protagonist has been reborn into this poor guy’s body… even though he knows nothing about FS! “A count? Isn’t that, like, easy mode for life? I’ll do whatever I want and be a corrupt noble!” That’s how he decides to take advantage of his new noble status for personal gain. But somehow, he keeps saving the people around him—and ends up wrecking all the depressing storylines of the original FS without even trying.

Before the fall, there was betrayal. Lucifer, the brightest of the angels, did not challenge the Creator out of ambition, but out of disdain. How could the angels, forged in perfection, bow before fragile creatures made of dust? His rebellion was not just an act of pride, but of fury against humanity. And for that, he was condemned. Cast into the abyss alongside his followers, he swore to destroy the world he so despised. For ages, his legions waited, but the prophecy marked the beginning of a new era. The gates of hell opened, unleashing demons, monsters, and beasts that plunged the earth into chaos and despair. Heaven and hell now prepare for their final confrontation, while humanity, caught between warring gods, struggles to survive in a world where hope is little more than a whisper in the shadows. The last battle has begun. And the fate of creation hangs by a thread.

And with his choice, the world shall either fall... or be reborn." ******** The heavens trembled as gods waged war, shattering the balance of the world below.

Amid the divine struggle, Ragon—son of Zeus and an Olympian god—found himself betrayed. Unable to overthrow Zeus, the gods turned their wrath on his demigod son, striking him down before he could ascend to true godhood. But death was not the end. His spirit, on the brink of divinity wandered the mortal realm until it found an unlikely vessel—a slain noble child whose adopted father, an Elven overlord, had infused his body with forbidden magic, granting him unnatural longevity. Seizing the opportunity, Ragon took over the child's body, determined to reclaim his power, defy fate, and carve his own path among gods and mortals alike.

After the judgment, the ire of God was revealed with the words: "Be cast unto eternal damnation!" And so it was that humans and jinns alike found themselves scattered across the Nine Circles of Hell, left to burn and suffer for eternity. Until after an untold number of eternities, an angelic voice called out, announcing God's decree: "One soul shall earn the chance to return to grace." Humans and jinns found a shimmering screen appear before their eyes, tallying their sins and something called 'Fragments of Divinity'. "Cleanse away your sins," said the voice. "Do what must be done!" Now, a human known as Wretched Nameless One—the only human found in the Ninth Circle—sets out on a journey to claim his spot in Heaven, tasked with fighting hellish monsters and devilish hell-dwellers competing to return to grace. Will he escape eternal torment and rise to grace or return to the everlasting cleansing fire once more?

In the pursuit of freedom, humanity has relinquished many things. The first of these was what made it different from other beasts: compassion and mercy. Therefore, every individual in this race is a sinner—sinful in their greed for power, strength, women, or money. And in this life, I will be your master, you greedy ones. I will be the greatest sinner and the greediest of all. I will fulfill my obsession.

Will he be the same, or will his second chance bring forth a change? ================================ Hey there, Author here. I'm just letting you guys know that I'm writing this to improve my current writing style. I'm somewhat new to this? Well actually I did write My first novel on 2022 if I remember correctly. It turned out bad. Like brain dead bad. So I procrastinated for 2 years until I finally decided to get serious about this. So here I am with my second attempt of improving myself (hopefully this time). Let me know your thoughts, and feel free to be as ruthless as you can. I won't mind, I need your honest opinion on this if I'm intending to improve myself. Hell maybe you can already find grammatical errors just on this synopsis (If there is, I apologize). Warning: This book might just turn out to be one of the worst books in here, as I stated above, I'm just writing this to improve myself. Let's just hope I don't mess this up, I've already got the general idea on how it's gonna go and how it's gonna end. I just hope that my writing skills can keep up. That's it from me. Thank you for being here.

Warning: Contains heavy sexual content. In this dark fantasy tale, our protagonist, a man reincarnated in a world of swords and magic, stands out for his depravity, violence, and insatiable desires. Unlike conventional heroes, he harbors no ambitions for strength or power; instead, he pursues an unapologetically hedonistic goal — claiming all the women who cross his path. The narrative delves into explicit and controversial themes, exploring the darkest corners of the protagonist's character, including incest and age-related taboos. Brace yourself for a story where the boundaries of morality are pushed to their limits, as the protagonist, a true embodiment of moral decay, refuses to be hindered by societal norms or ethical constraints.
