Drown

In a world where the endless Sea of Essence fuels life itself, every being is born with an Inner Tide—a personal connection to the mystical energy that shapes reality.

Seen as a cursed anomaly, he was cast aside by society. But when a monstrous force known as the Negative Current attacks, Kaien’s latent power awakens: the ability to steal and wield the Inner Tides of others. Forced into a dangerous game of survival, Kaien must confront powerful clans, cunning guilds, and sprawling empires vying for control over the Sea of Essence’s richest sources. As whispers of war loom on the horizon, Kaien’s stolen strength becomes both his greatest weapon and his darkest curse. In a world where power flows like an unstoppable tide, will Kaien become its master—or drown in its depths?

Getting transmigrated inside a novel is not really a bad thing—you know the story, you have the power of the future in your hand, you know all the hidden keys. You might as well end up as the most powerful and omniscient being in that world. That is, if you don’t wake up during the epilogue. And yet I find myself in the body of a fallen priest at the end of the novel, a tragic hero who had his mana circuit broken in the last war, being shunned, drown in debt, and destined to die not long after. Fortunately, I know just the cure. Unfortunately, the cure was in the hand of one of the Demon Lords—you know, the race that my kingdom just wage war with. Would he give me the cure if I asked him politely? There’s no harm in trying, right? I’d die if I didn’t get the cure, anyway. “Sure, but you have to be my bride as the price,” the Demon Lord said. ...huh? Sir, you know I’m (technically) a priest, right?

WSA 25 ENTRY ******** The world I knew was ordinary or at least bearable—until it wasn’t. I was just another corporate drone, drowning in a dead-end job I hated, stuck in a life that felt like it would never change. That is, until the mages decided to pick me. Every ten years, the mages choose ten people from across the faction—ordinary people like me—and thrust them into the Beast Games, a sadistic contest where only the strongest survive. The rules are simple: tame the fiercest creatures that world has to offer, fight to the death, and outlast every other contestant. Fail, and you die. Succeed, and you get to return home. But nothing there was as simple as it seemed. Thrown into a land where beasts rip through flesh without hesitation, and other contestants see me as nothing more than prey, I’m forced to rely on a mysterious system that offers me quests and tasks to survive. This world doesn’t play by any rules, least of all the ones we know. I will survive and I will find the ones who made this game and when I find them, I’ll show them what happens when you mess with someone who has nothing left to lose.
