Percy Is The Son Of Zeus

The Duke's youngest son is Unbearable

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely…" Man, these words are simple yet very true. The one who said these words must have really been… "corrupted," hehe. Does power corrupt? Maybe. But why? Is it power's very nature to corrupt? If that's true, does that mean everyone who has power is… corrupted? And if they are, then how much? Partially, slightly, or fully? Who, then, is the most corrupt? Is it the police, who have the power of law over the people who break it? Or is it the military, with the power of weapons? Or is it the politicians, controlling the police, the military, and the infamous red buttons? Or perhaps it's the people who fund those politicians—those who control everything from the shadows. To know who is the most corrupt, we need to figure out who is the most powerful. If I asked a random person, "Who's the most powerful being?" they'd probably answer with one word: God. Well, it makes sense. I mean, God Himself says in His holy scriptures that He is the source of all power. The most powerful being there was, is, and will ever be. If He is the source of all power... And if power's very nature is to corrupt... Then does that mean "God," the source of all power, is also the source of all corruption?! I rubbed the back of my neck, my lips twitching into a nervous smile. Probably not, but then again… Angels, the second most powerful beings, worship God and cannot disobey Him. At least in Islam, they can't. Christianity? Well, that's a whole different ballgame. So I don't know—maybe. But what about the people who believe in God? There are plenty of radicals out there. I mean, I've seen enough news stories about people blowing themselves up in the name of God. Killing others in His name. Some even believe they're chosen by God, so they kill for Him. Are they believers in God? Corrupted by the Devil? Or enlightened beings who see something my dumb self doesn't? I squinted, tapping my fingers rhythmically against my thigh. Man, I don't know about Hell, but after all these blasphemous thoughts, I don't think God's letting me into Heaven either. Now, everyone's probably wondering, Why are you talking about these blasphemous things? Well, it's my grandma's fault. "What did she do?" Nothing! It's not what she did—it's what she said. When I was little, my grandma used to say, "If you have nothing to do, think about God." So, technically, it's her fault.

Regressor Of Light Son

Synopsis: In a world torn by ceaseless wars and ruled by dark ambitions, Lysian Valthor once stood as a ruler of light and shadow, commanding a powerful kingdom and the loyalty of countless subjects. His rise to power was built on manipulation, ruthlessness, and an unyielding desire to reshape the world. But his hubris led him to a tragic fall, and in his final moments, he found himself cast back into the past, regressed into the fragile body of a child. Now, as a mere shadow of his former self, Lysian wakes in a world that seems both familiar and foreign. His mind retains the memories of his past life, the knowledge of power, manipulation, and war. But his body is weak, vulnerable—his former strength nothing more than a distant echo. The mysterious Duality of Fate system, a strange force that has now become part of him, gives him both guidance and a constant reminder of his past choices. However, Lysian has no desire for immortality or eternal life. His only goal is survival—and revenge. The continent of Varema, once a land of potential, is now a fragmented battleground. King Valthor Skaar of Vahlan, a cruel and oppressive ruler, reigns with iron fists, while to the south, the undead Emperor Galoth of Sardis uses necromancy to fuel his unyielding army. Hidden in the shadows are factions that manipulate others for their own twisted desires, all vying for control and power. Lysian must now navigate this brutal world, relying on his intelligence and manipulation to outwit his enemies. Despite the fragility of his new form, he is far from powerless. With the knowledge of his previous life, Lysian begins to rebuild himself, carefully weaving his way through the web of power struggles that define Varema. Each move he makes is calculated, each alliance fragile, and each betrayal closer than he can anticipate. But the greatest threat Lysian faces is not just the world around him. It is the fate that binds him, the forces beyond his control that seem determined to shape him into something he no longer wishes to be. His past life was a cycle of ambition and downfall, but this time, Lysian will not let fate dictate his future. "Regressor of Light Son: Bound by Fate, Reborn in Shadows" is a story of ambition, manipulation, and survival in a world where every decision could lead to destruction. Lysian’s journey is one of dark strategy and power as he seeks to rewrite the rules of the world and escape the chains of destiny that have shackled him for far too long.

I am the Son of Luck!

Qin Chen, a modern young man, finds himself waking up in a cultivation world, inhabiting the body of a man with the same name. Yet instead of excitement, he feels a deep sense of irony as he delves into the memories of his new body. His fate is a cliché straight out of the cultivation novels he used to read: born into a low-ranking family, orphaned from a young age, poor cultivation talent, and a lover eventually taken by someone else. It all felt like the basic template for a protagonist in a novel! However, unlike weak and slow-growing main characters, Qin Chen quickly realizes something. If this world truly mirrors a cultivation story, then as the protagonist, he is Heaven's favored child, protected by limitless luck. "I am the center of this world, shielded by destiny. What do I have to fear?" Qin Chen thought with a grin. Defying great clans? Toppling powerful sects? Kidnapping royal princesses? All of that is just another day for a protagonist blessed with extraordinary luck. Qin Chen believes that as long as he is Heaven's chosen one, no danger could truly kill him. He has complete faith in the plot always saving the main character at the last second. But unlike the typical cliché protagonists, Qin Chen refuses to be naive, foolish, or soft. He understands that this world is harsh and brutal. Therefore, he vows to move forward with boundless courage, take what is rightfully his, and destroy anyone who dares to stand in his way. Unfortunately, living as a protagonist is not as easy as he imagined. [Ultimate Villain System Activated] [Main Mission: Kill Qin Chen]
