On his 10th birthday, Ren is celebrated as a hero — the chosen one blessed with unmatched power to protect the world from the monsters spilling out of dungeons. Yet, as the nations join forces to train and guide him, they see him only as a weapon to wield, a pawn in a dangerous game of power. Taken from his home, Ren is trained under the iron hands of foreign nations, wielding his strength to shield lands he barely knows. When he finally fulfills his purpose and grows into the most powerful hero the world has ever known, he’s betrayed by the very nations he fought for, and, in their quest for dominance, they destroy the kingdom of Arden, his birthplace, and his heart. In the moments before he dies, struck down by a forbidden weapon, Ren vows revenge. But fate grants him something more powerful than vengeance — a second chance. Awakening in his childhood body mere days before his hero’s ceremony, Ren now has all the knowledge, skill, and power from his former life and a new purpose. This time, he will refuse their shackles, forge his own path, and raise Arden to greatness. As he trains in secret, Ren allies himself with his childhood friends, the two princesses of Arden, Elara and Selene, who are both loyal to him and now central to his heart and mission. Together, they plot to outwit the nations that once betrayed him, strengthening Arden’s defenses and building allies among those who stand in the shadows. With a growing network of spies, newfound strength, and a burning desire for justice, Ren sets his sights on reclaiming control of his destiny and protecting his kingdom from those who would see it fall. His mission is clear: take revenge, save his kingdom, and claim the throne — becoming not just a hero, but the hero king Arden needs.

The odyssey of a young man and how he found himself at the final battle between the legendary hero and the evil Demon king

I closed my eyes with a sigh and let the needle slip through limp fingers. It wasn’t like anyone would miss me. They could always find someone else to beat or rape. The nothingness was a relief. At least now I have peace. Only...since when did 'nothingness' have so many gods? As one of ten heroes chosen by the Divine, I was sent to another world to fend off a demon invasion. But, the gods aren’t all helpful, and treat this as a game. Waking up in the magical world of Enusia, I found myself cursed and alone, clapped in chains and despised. This world was worse, far worse than the playground I so naively left behind, filled with betrayal, pain, and death. I've heard that the brightest lights cast the longest shadows. Perhaps, in this life, I can find if that's true. I'm tired of living in the dark. It's time to find the light. Discord: https://discord.gg/PX3xqJdZMY

Discord Link for those interested [https://discord.gg/TGc9yymDJP] One may think that in order to be a Hero you must have a pure soul, and untainted heart, but in reality such a thing is impossible; now one's soul is pure, nor is anyone's heart untainted, Gods aren't even exempt from this rule. No, a True Hero is someone who knows they have an impure soul and tainted heart, yet they embrace it, instead of attempting to deny their very nature; however, not all True Heros are the same, some have different beliefs and/or ideals. Yet at the end of the day, no matter how terrible or bleak the situation looks, you can always count on a True Hero to act as a beacon of light that'll show you the correct path, but for you to take, you must embark on it yourself.

I loved reading novels about magic and swords. One day I decided to create a novel myself and named it, "The Hero's Fate." It was about someone who simply lost everyone he ever loved and had to fight the demon king to save the world. Typical, typical. I was finishing the second last volume one night and fell into a deep sleep and when I woke up I realized I transmigrated into my novel!

Gone were the days when Dean Andler spent his nights studying in the Harvard Library, trying to boost his GPA. Now, he was free to do whatever he wanted, and life felt far more exciting this way. It had been five years since he dropped out of Harvard to chase novelty. Dean had always been a bright young man, a quick learner, but for some reason, he made the decision to abandon his academic path and live for himself. A foolish idea, they said. He was wasting his future—and his potential. Yet, something about being a daredevil, about embracing extreme stunts, never failed to capture his attention from the moment he first discovered it. Dean admits he had lived more in those five years of risking his life than in his previous 20. But all good things must come to an end. And an absolute end, at that. Dean Andler died on his 25th birthday, after jumping from an aircraft when his parachute failed to deploy. A pitiful end. However, it was also a new beginning. Dean finds himself transmigrated to ancient times, during the Viking Age. Here, Vikings exist in all their brutish and fierce glory, just as the history books described. Yet these Vikings are different—far beyond anything history had recorded. They possess superhuman strength, the ability to control the elements, and command the weather itself. Even the world is not what it should be: gigantic sea creatures and malevolent water spirits roam freely. The famed *Einherjar* of Valhalla are real, as are the various gods and their inheritances. As absurd as it all seems to someone from the 21st century, these phenomena are everyday realities for the stone-cold Vikings. Which leaves Dean asking himself: What kind of Vikings are these?

One moment I was a normal office employee in a small game company, the next moment I was a slave who fainted just from getting slapped! “Hey Delta, why did you kill me?” - “Delta brought host into this world for a purpose. Host must save Goddess Psais because without her permission, Delta cannot send host back to his world.” A purpose, a System, a Status Window and a magical world filled with magical mysteries. Though I desired for change from my monotonous life, I now realize that change was not always for the good! Now I want only one thing more than anything, which is to go back to the life which was safe and quiet. *** This is a story about a damsel in distress who is captured by a monster and our protagonist is tasked to be the hero who saves her. However, is the damsel, a Goddess, truly in distress? Is the monster that killed Gods and Goddesses and enslaved Destiny, truly a villain? Is the human, who is forced to be a hero, truly a Hero? Follow Deniel in his journey as he explores a new and mysterious world after being reincarnated as Alex. Watch him make mistakes and learn from them. Watch how a normal human with a frail physique and a weak mentality grows to be the strongest being that can even rival the Gods! Watch him find out what Fate truly is and how greedy Death can be for a soul. *** [P.S: This is the first time I'm writing a novel and English was not my first language. Therefore, please feel free to point out any mistakes whether in the plot or in the grammar. Every comment and review is important for me. Also, since I've just started, I know the quality is very poor but I promise that it will improve overtime so please bear with me.

Those who attempt to do battle with her will not find themselves facing off against a weapon, but rather, the tall, curvaceous woman’s huge backside.

Set in a fantasy RPG world, classes from all walks of life set upon the unassuming village of Unkergotten, where those who intrude or threaten the safety of the townsfolk will face the wrath of Zaraya- and her booty.

“Why?! I won but it doesn’t feel like it” said Theo the hero who didn’t look very heroic as tears streamed down his face. With a heavy heart, he gripped his sword the blade glinting in the dim light, and drove it into his chest. “System awakened, Calculatijg achievements, defeated low tier demon king check! defeated his three dukes of hell check! Potentially the worst hero in history check! hero complex broke check additional points being calculated” said the system unenthusiastically while innerly freaking out. ‘A hero with a broken hero complex How interesting and unexpected’ thought the system. “Would the host like a second chance and more power?” said the system trying to get on with it. ‘what the hell?! aren't I dead? maybe god has granted me a chance to do better, I knew the gods haven't forsaken us’ the hero thought clearly remembering piercing his heart but calmly composed himself with signs of his hero complex returning. “No idiot I doubt you could handle speaking to a god without them accidentally killing you, would you like to restart or not?” said the system forever shattering the hero complex that showed signs of resurfacing. “yes!” the hero said without much thought at the chance to do better and protect his friends.
