Reinhard von Luxor, once the arrogant and obese disgrace of his noble house, is reincarnated with his memories of Earth intact. He awakens in a body despised by society—one mocked as "The Pig of House Luxor." His fiancé, Seraphina Eldrath, the most prodigious noble in the kingdom, has given him one month to prove himself or be cast aside forever. His own family has abandoned him, and the Grand Arcane Academy, the world's most powerful magical institution, sees him as a laughingstock. But when a voice echoes in his mind— "Gluttonous Devourer System activated." —everything changes. Gifted with the power to absorb and refine magic, Reinhard begins a relentless rise to dominance. He devours forbidden spells, refines elemental techniques, and rewrites the laws of magic themselves. Yet the more he grows, the more enemies he attracts—rival nobles, assassins, corrupt professors, and even the shadowy Grand Magus Council. The academy is not just a school—it’s a battlefield for political power, ancient secrets, and god-like magic. As Reinhard sheds his former self, uncovering the hidden power within his bloodline, he must fight for survival, outsmart his enemies, and claim his rightful place at the top. But unknown to him, something lurks in the Abyss beneath the floating city of Astravalion, watching his every move. Can he become the strongest magus in history, or will he be devoured by the very power he wields?

Gu Jin the boss of a top mafia organization was stunned to find that she had suddenly arrived in Magic World. She thought she transmigrated in a novel about Magic, and she became a supporting character who would die protecting the Female lead, and this is all due to her incompetency in magic. Gu Jin laughed 'incompetency?' She can die in every possible way but not due to incompetency. Before transmigration, she was the queen of the mafia world, a strong-willed iron lady. After transmigration, she became a good-for-nothing? She was nothing but a potential mage. She took an oath to become a Heaven Rank Mage. Every colleague of hers despised her until one day they got to know about her potential. Incompetency?

While others were cultivating and having trouble learning alchemy, she cultivated, made formulas of her own, and learned other things too. Is poor? Sorry with her talent in business and alchemy, she had built a business empire of her own and ranks among the top rich individuals! Does she have no supporters?

Turns out the Female Lead was the fake daughter and Gu Jin was the real daughter. The Female lead warned her, "Eldest Brother, Second Brother, and Third Sister are too cold, if they ignore you and you feel hurt I will apologize on their behalf, after all, I am their beloved person." Gu Jin didn't have much hope from her biological family, since the female lead was so lovable... she was sure that they wouldn't love her. However... The Eldest Brother of the family patted Gu Jin's head, "I bought this Star Level Artifact for fun you can have it." Gu Jin: "..." The Second Brother of the family who had a cold nature chuckled, "Who dares to taunt Gu Jin? I will chop off their finger...I mean I will have a civilized talk with them! " Gu Jin:"..." The Third Sister of the family secret sneaked into Gu Jin's room every day and claimed to have a headache, "Sister Jin~ Let me sleep with you~ I am having a headache." Gu Jin: "..."

Title: The Devourer's Dominion Synopsis: In a world where abilities define the powerful, Aetheron is born into a hidden bloodline—one that holds the ability to devour and absorb the powers of others, making him an unparalleled threat to those who dare to cross him. Raised in secrecy and isolation, Aetheron grows up unaware of the full extent of his potential. His true nature is shrouded in mystery, and the secrets of his lineage have been buried for generations, leaving him to struggle against the darkness inside. Despite his extraordinary abilities, Aetheron has been forced to conceal his power for fear of drawing the attention of dangerous factions who would exploit him. But when rumors of a grand tournament surface, promising unimaginable power to its victor, Aetheron is faced with a choice—remain hidden in the shadows, or step into the light and confront the truth about his heritage. As the tournament progresses, Aetheron is forced to reveal his forbidden abilities when a life-or-death battle pushes him to the edge. With the world now aware of his Devourer ability, he quickly becomes a target for the most powerful individuals, each eager to control, kill, or use him for their own gain. As he absorbs abilities from his fallen opponents, Aetheron discovers that he can combine and grow them, crafting new and even more powerful abilities. But Aetheron is not alone in his struggle. He is surrounded by allies with forbidden abilities of their own, and together they form a fragile, yet powerful alliance. But betrayal lurks at every turn, and every new power Aetheron gains comes at a price. As factions close in and alliances shift, Aetheron must decide how far he is willing to go in order to master his powers, uncover the truth of his bloodline, and take control of his destiny. The Devourer's Dominion is a tale of power, betrayal, and destiny, where abilities intertwine and reality itself can be reshaped by those who dare to push beyond their limits. In a world where everyone has something to hide, Aetheron will find that the greatest power of all is the one that can devour it all—and dominate the very forces that seek to control him.

Johann Freyy had long accepted that life wasn’t for him. Every job he’d tried seemed to slip through his fingers, and each dismissal stung harder than the last. He was tired—tired of trying, tired of failing, tired of feeling like he was never enough.

But that night, as he sat in a rowdy bar, surrounded by faces just as worn and defeated as his own, something changed. There, amid the noise and chaos, he overheard a conversation that would change his life for the better or worse.
