[Warning: r18, smut, MC does morally questionable things] [Disclaimer: The Gods and Goddesses in the story's world have absolutely no relation to any Gods that are worshipped in the real world. The purpose they serve is also entirely different.] This is an action + kingdom-building story where the MC and his kingdom (realm) are metaphorically powered by his lustful acts. Hiro (our boy, the MC) gets transmigrated into a magical world filled with dungeons, monsters, mythical races, warring kingdoms, heroes, heroines, villains, rulers, and all manner of gods. He starts with a small amount of land that is riddled with problems and makes his way to the top. Of course, his golden finger, the Diadem of Carnal Sin has greatly altered the intended experience by adding a great deal of smut into his story. This novel has great plot. This novel has great *plot*. Yes, I know I wrote that twice. No, it was not a mistake. NTR - MC NTRs others, never gets NTRed himself. Yuri - No P.S - Power stones, golden tickets, gifts, adding this to library, reviews, comments, paragraph comments - all these things help immensely and are greatly appreciated. Thanks and Enjoy! :)

Five Doors... Five Grands... Five Tides to Overcome! The Boy Admired his father, adored him, worshipped him as infallible. But even such a man was forced to kneel in the face of death. SNAP! The young boy looked at the slumped figure of his father as he was forcefully carried away. The chaotic situation caused him to be unable to process much more than the figure of his falling father. He didn't know why but the word 'SNAP' perfectly described his state of mind. He lost it. He thought it strange. The value of life. It seemed so unsurmountable in one and so pointless in another. Was this all his father amounted to? His eyes dulled. His tears dried up. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle. It truly was amusing. A small chuckle turned into incoherent laughter, a deep seethed despise being born in his Heart! His world... His Diagram... It was no longer. ...

Once, Oliver was just an ordinary student in a small American town. But one fateful afternoon, while browsing a second-hand market, he touched an ancient, otherworldly book. When he awoke, he found himself transported to a time before the creation of the world, reborn as an ancient serpent amidst chaos—complete with a system interface that leveled him up like a game. In this primordial era, the gods had not yet been born, humanity was but a distant possibility, the war between dragons and titans loomed on the horizon, and the twilight of the gods was an unspoken prophecy. The golden empire of Rome was still an unimaginable dream. It was in this vast, untamed world that Oliver discovered the truth—if he did not grow stronger, his fate was sealed. The Creator’s myths, the clash of dragons and titans, and the apocalypse of Ragnarok would inevitably lead to his destruction. Faced with such a grim reality, Oliver made a fateful decision: he would devour everything, ascend to unimaginable heights, and carve his own destiny. His legend begins with countless transformations, yet his presence endures through them all. He was revered as Jörmungandr, feared as Satan, worshiped as Drakthor, and hailed as the harbinger of chaos and the bringer of eternity—a terror to mortals and gods alike…

Once the brightest star, Yun Chen lost everything after an accident. He witnessed both the best and worst of those around him, eventually seeking solace in virtual reality games that simulated an ancient cultivation world.

The hardest part was definitely wasting time cultivating, but he found a way around it without paying more... In the end, Feng Rui did get a couple of nice perks and rare treasures...

Lucifer Morningstar. Yeah, I know—sounds like a joke, right? Who names their kid after the Devil himself? My father, of course. Abaddon Morningstar, a deluded Satanist obsessed with bringing about the end times. And because of him, I spent my entire life in the shadow of a name I couldn’t escape. Growing up in a house where rituals, blood, and darkness were commonplace, I became a pariah, bullied by everyone—family, friends, and even strangers. No one saw past the name. No one saw me. Instead, I was just "Lucifer," destined to inherit the dark legacy of some fallen god. But then came Celeste. My half-little sister. The one bright spot in my miserable existence. She was everything I wasn’t—kind, innocent, pure. I swore to protect her from the nightmare that was our father. In a world where I was tainted by my own blood, Celeste was my only redemption. But life never plays fair. One tragic night, everything changed. In a brutal twist of fate, my world shattered. My father’s madness escalated, leading to a catastrophe that stole everything I held dear. My sister, the only person I ever truly loved, was taken from me, leaving me with nothing but a bitter emptiness and the anger of an entire lifetime. He said, "A devil shouldn't care about 'inferiors'." ...but I did. I cared. And that’s what made my fall so much more unforgivable in his eyes. I swore vengeance on the man who tore my world apart. And I succeeded but at the cost of a runic ceremonial dagger plugged into my heart that drained the last bit of my life force. As the dagger crushed my heart, everything faded. Darkness. Silence. Then... nothing. At first, I thought it was the end. Maybe I’d finally been claimed by the darkness my father worshipped. But then I awoke, gasping for breath in a new world. ------------------------ Check out my works. Reincarnated As Karna With System Mahabharata I Become A Mob Character In A Novel

(Trigger warning: Harsh Language, Abuse, Slavery, Excessive Violence, Injustice) The Celestial is a symbol of the divine, a pillar which stretches high into the heavens. It is worshipped for the blessings it brought upon the world; extraordinary power, revolutionary tools, and beings beyond understanding. Bearing its power will not only change your fate, but the fate of the world. Grelt has existed within a struggle for power for over a century. A war between Angels and Demons ravaged the land, but only ended with the alliance between the angels, the hybrids, and the non-unified. The non-unified race did not receive the divine gifts of the celestial, they were not worthy. As beings who were second to the blessing of the Celestial, they have no choice but to bow before the hybrids and angels.

He is beginning to feel the despair living the rest of his life under the hybrid alliance, and seeks to change the world he was born into.

Synopsis of The Shadows Ascend In a world shattered by the appearance of the Tower of Eternity and the subsequent rifts that ravaged the Earth, humanity is forced to survive amidst the ruins. The Tower looms over the remnants of civilization, offering unimaginable power to those who can ascend its endless floors—but at a terrible cost: the soul of the climber. Kael Valen, a bitter and cold-hearted survivor, is one of the Rift Servants—a class of people forced to venture into dangerous rifts to collect valuable resources for the Syndicates that now rule the Earth. Once a hopeful boy, Kael’s life was ruined when his family was torn apart by the Tower’s arrival. Sold into servitude, Kael has learned to trust no one, survive at all costs, and most of all, hate the Tower and everything it stands for. When Kael stumbles upon an ancient, mysterious power within a rift—the Null Nexus, an unshaped shadow that offers strange, unexplainable abilities—his world changes. But this power, still untamed, is not without its risks. As Kael fights to control it, he realizes that the Nexus is more than just a tool for survival: it’s a key to understanding the true purpose of the Tower—and perhaps a way to destroy it once and for all. Joined by Lira Thorne, a ruthless climber with a deadly secret, Kael must navigate the deadly rifts, betrayals, and twisted politics of the new world, all while avoiding the watchful eyes of the Eclipsed Order, an ancient cult that worships the Tower’s power, and the Syndicates that seek to control the resources. But with each passing day, Kael’s control over the Nexus weakens, and the shadow begins to consume more than just his body. In a world where survival is a constant gamble and power comes at the price of humanity, Kael must decide: will he use the power of the Nexus to destroy the Tower and save the remnants of Earth? Or will he succumb to the darkness within, losing himself in the process? "The higher you climb, the darker your shadow becomes." --- This synopsis builds on the key themes of survival, power, and sacrifice, while giving a glimpse into Kael's motivation and the dark world he's navigating.
