Cynical

“Have you ever wished that a truck would hit you and you would transmigrate into a world filled with swords and magic? Perhaps you wished that you would be a hero, defeating the villains, protecting the land, and receiving all sorts of admiration and love from the people. I would give you one piece of advice. Perish that thought.” -Ravi West *** Ravi West was a hero of indisputable esteem. As a Sentinel, he traveled the Realms, killing villains and saving entire civilizations. His job was everything to him. Until Luxor. Luxor changed everything. Luxor changed him. Ravi was done. The tiredness etched into his bones. He laid down his mantle and vanished. He chose the most boring planet in his memory for his retirement, except this Earth was not like the one he remembered- Nests, monsters, superheroes, and villains filled the streets but that was not his business. He has a plan, a quiet, uncaring life filled with wine, food, and books. But the New Captain at the Bureau seemed to enjoy shattering all his carefully laid plans. He was the most annoying person Ravi had ever met, blonde hair, the most beautiful blue eyes, and a sunny smile, the righteous Arlen Sinclair constantly got involved in cases much bigger than him, dragging Ravi along into his Shenanigans. **** Grumpy, Cynic Shou who doesn't care if the world burns× Golden Retriever, Righteous Gong who is the first to bring the bucket to save the burning world. #Foundfamily #Sliceoflife, #crime, #mystery, #Superheros, #OverpoweredMc, #Protagonistfallsinlovefirst #MutualPampering #Powercouple #Superpowers #Cooking #Farming #yaoi #Detectives #Villains [This book is participating in the WSA contest] Disclaimer: The book cover to be taken down at owner's request.

A young man with a bright future ahead of him gets run over by a talking train, and is sent into a mystical, fantasy world filled to the centimeter with anything a man can think of. Uniquely interesting individuals to meet, grand locations to explore, and strange societies, with underlying mysteries awaiting to be explored. However... a good protagonist is always aided by an equally noteworthy, and possibly bizarre, cast of acquaintances. *** Tags: [Realism], [Isekai], [Cynical], [Dark], and [Slow-paced] (Or so I've been told). Disclaimers: 1. In spite of what Randall (the MC) says at the start, it is NOT a harem. 2. I will also shift POVs (and provide a clarification) whenever I consider it's worth it. However, the spotlight will be on the MC most of the time. 3. The MC starts off overpowered, but that will change after Chapter 40. I don't really like OP MCs too much. 4. Please read the first 3 chapters to decide whether it's worth reading. Finally, this is also my first time publishing a novel, so I hope it's not too bad. (PS: Cover is AI made.)

Synopsis: "Echoes of the Dreaming Gods" Overview: "Echoes of the Dreaming Gods" is a surreal, mythological adventure that intertwines the fates of four protagonists Astraea, Ikaros, Selene, and Orion who each struggle with the burdens of their pasts while navigating an ever-shifting world shaped by both ancient myths and fluid dreamscapes. Guided and manipulated by celestial entities known as the Dreaming Gods, the characters embark on a journey that transcends time and space, exploring themes of ambition, power, fate, and self-discovery. Plot: In a world where reality is as unstable as a dream, the ancient Dreaming Gods begin to stir, their influence reaching across time and dimensions. These gods represent primal forces and cosmic archetypes, and they seek to manipulate mortals for their own ends. As the boundaries between the mythic past, the surreal present, and the speculative future begin to blur, four characters are drawn together, their destinies intertwined. Astraea, once a powerful queen lost to time, wanders invisibly through the modern world, forgotten by history but desperate to reclaim her lost kingdom and fading identity. She embarks on a quest to confront the Dreaming Gods and restore her power, all the while battling her growing irrelevance in a world that no longer remembers her.

As time begins to unravel and dreams bleed into reality, each character is thrust into a series of surreal adventures that test their willpower, morality, and sense of identity.

When it came to the golden egg smashing segment, everyone else was cracking open various discount and cash vouchers... only she smashed open a piece of worthless rock. The barrage of comments was full of laughter. But Jin Luo defended it, saying, “This is actually a treasure.” Cynical fan: ???

When the world ends, it doesn't end with a bang or a whimper—it ends with betrayal. In a desolate future where humanity struggles against monstrous creatures and corrupted factions, survival isn't just about living another day; it's about avenging the past. Ethan Blackwood, a brilliant military strategist, once fought to save humanity. But when the apocalypse came, it wasn’t just the Nightwalkers—mutated horrors that haunt the night—that tore the world apart. It was the betrayal from within. Framed and left for dead by those he trusted most, Ethan emerged from the darkness not just alive, but reborn with a power that defies explanation. Hardened by treachery, his heart grows colder, his resolve sharper. Ethan's new mission isn't just survival—it's retribution. In this new world, trust is a rarity and betrayal is the norm. Ethan finds an unlikely ally in Lily Everett, a resourceful survivor with secrets of her own. Together, they navigate the ruins of civilization, battling not only the Nightwalkers but also the ruthless Ascendants—a faction of enhanced humans who seek to dominate the remnants of humanity with an iron fist.

Their journey takes them to the heart of darkness—confronting Dr. Marcus Kane, a scientist whose experiments unleashed the apocalypse. Kane holds the key to both Ethan’s newfound powers and the catastrophic events that shattered the world. Ethan’s pursuit of Kane unravels a labyrinth of lies, forcing him to confront his own demons and the true nature of his abilities. In a world where every shadow hides a threat and every ally could be a traitor, Ethan must decide what kind of man he will become. Will he be the savior the world needs or the executioner it deserves? As he stands on the precipice of redemption or ruin, the fate of humanity hangs in the balance. "World's End Vigilante" is a gripping tale of power, betrayal, and vengeance in a post-apocalyptic world where nothing is as it seems, and survival is just the beginning. ----- Check Out My Other Book: "Ascension Of Malachor"
