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.

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:"..."

After countless battles and endless strife, Joseph McBane dies on the battlefield. It was nothing new for him, of course. Having reincarnated almost countless times, he was no stranger to death by combat. By now, it was one of the few things he enjoyed. Reincarnating into a new body, he finds one difference from his previous lives though, the existence of magic. Now able to combine his technique forged from centuries of experience with the mystical powers of mana, he will shake this world as he’s done with all the others. A lot of time at the start will be spent developing the main character, the world, and magic while the kingdom building part will come later when he is at least old enough to actually rule a kingdom.

Address any other questions you have in the reviews or the comments in the book and I will try to answer them to the best of my ability.

With a vast selection of magical specializations, elemental affinities, and powerful bloodlines at their disposal, Arthur and Morgan step into the unknown. But as they embark on their journey, one question looms—will they rise as the protectors of this new world or be consumed by the very forces they seek to master?

In a world shaped by gods, destiny, and prophecy, everything follows a predetermined cycle. The Five Goddesses rule the heavens, having sealed away their sole brother, Kaelis, the God of Unity, long ago—twisting his name into the God of Chaos to erase his true purpose. With his fall, the Hero’s Party defeated the Demon Lord, and non-human races perished one by one, leaving only humans to rule the world. Before Kaelis was sealed, however, eight monoliths descended, warning that once every odd century, a Destined One would be born—either a harbinger of chaos or tranquility. This prophecy became an unshakable truth, with the world rising and falling in accordance with these chosen individuals. Yet, centuries later, long after the last Destined One passed, the world faced a new calamity. The ley lines of mana, the lifeblood of magic, began to wither. The Church of the Five declared it divine will, while scholars and mages sought a solution. One woman—a brilliant but infamous sorceress—discovered the cause and took it upon herself to restore the mana flow. She succeeded—but her actions tore open a rift between dimensions, unleashing monsters not born of this world. Though the breach was eventually sealed, the damage was irreversible. The world changed forever, and she vanished into legend—reviled by some, revered by others. Now, in the present era, the world exists in tenuous balance. Monsters roam the land, kings rule their fractured domains, and the Church maintains its iron grip. No new Destined One has emerged. The world expects another cycle to begin. Then, he is born. A child without prophecy, without divine origin, without fate. A soul not from this world. Unlike the Destined Ones of legend, his birth was never foreseen by the gods—an impossibility that throws the celestial order into chaos and confusion. For the first time, something has entered this world without the hand of the divine guiding it. He is not a hero. He is not the chosen one. He is an anomaly. And in a world where destiny dictates all, a man with no fate may be the most dangerous force of all.

The World's Number 1 Most Wanted Thief, the Black Cobra, an Egyptian youth specialized in ancient artifacts, was killed in an explosion he set up after being chased into a dead end in New York. Around his middle finger which he pointed at the face of every chaser from every world superpower, he carried the most prized item in the world, the Ring of Horus. When he kicked off life with a Bang! He returned with a lot of barf and vomit as poison was being cleansed of his body and a series of messages kept popping up. Long story short, he reincarnated into the body of Leon, an antagonist from a game he used to play and supposedly one who should already be dead. However, the Hunt for his Life never ended and he became the most wanted after reincarnation overnight. And there is System and Magic and Harem and Overpowered Oversmart Overcharismatic Hero who believes in gender equality and human's right to stay silent when he stabs them… good stuff, turly! (Author Note: The story tries to avoid the cliches and focuses on crime and politics. Not sure about titles with the same quality as this one but I take elements from the usual isekai and mash them with the Korean style characters and attention to details while avoiding the Chinese repetitive plots and the Japanese beta male leads. This is an Egyptian MC whom you have never seen any like before. He kisses babies and slaps bitches… or kisses bitches and slaps babies… depending on which day of the week it is. He's a mean guy and he knows kung fu. One time an author tried to write him in a novel, the novel almost absorbed the author and he went into a torturous isekai. What more can I say?

When his life takes a sudden turn, he discovers that he possesses an elemental power, an ancient energy symbolized by a zodiac mark on his body. Yet one detail haunts him: he knows he wasn’t born with this mark, and his past before the age of nine is a complete blank. In his search for answers, Caden encounters others who bear similar marks, each tied to an elemental power and representing a zodiac sign. These chosen ones, known as the Zodiac Mages, are guardians of a fragile balance, but their unity shattered years ago.
