My first ever original project. A guy from another earth gets transported to an alternate earth in the body of a teenager named Edward, a world where heroic spirits and divine beings from mythologies were no longer a myth. A world that was invaded by alien species and outer gods long ago , where humans inherit the heroic spirits from characters of legends and fight otherworldly invaders appearing with dimensional gates, a modern society based on heroes and strength, where the weak don't fare well. A world that was teetering on the brink of extinction without anyone knowing . For Ragnarok would be upon them once again. Thrust into a chaotic world of heroes ; how will Edward survive, and uncover the real truth behind the chaos of this world? Or will he succumb to the allure of power and let go? What is truly real, and what are the reasons behind this madness ? Read ahead to find out, as we go on a journey of mystery, betrayals and revelations. There will be various mythology and legends explored, as well as lovecraftian horrors. The story is inspired from the nasuverse concept of heroic spirits, but won’t follow those origin stories. First 3 chapters are very important for understanding the world background and plot.

{WSA ENTRY 2025} After a well-lived life on Earth, Kael never expected anything more than death and the sweet embrace of sleep and darkness. But fate had other plans. He was reborn in another world similar to Earth, where he grew up until he was ten, at which point his memories from his past life were reawakened. He was an old man trapped in a boy's body, but the mixture of the child's memories with his own made him feel more middle-aged than old. A few days later, the world he was in ascended into the realm of war, the battleground of all living beings. Kael was among the few awakened who had the chance to become the ultimate god of existence, based on the orbs of different paths presented before him. Kael was faced with three choices: Orb of Chaos Orb of Nothingness Orb of Void (Choosing any will make you undergo a trial that will change your very existence. Please choose wisely.) While in shock by these options and seriously pondering which one to choose, an unexpected event occurred. (Error detected... A new option has been created) (Be the wielder of the three — Chaos, Void, and Nothingness) (Answer picked by host, transporting...) Kael was in shock as he fell into darkness, with one swirling thought in his mind: "I didn't even pick any."

Jace was just an ordinary college student with no faith in the divine, no belief in afterlives, and no preparation for what came next. One rainy evening, his life ends, and he finds himself cast into a formless void of infinite nothingness—a liminal space where souls without ties are forgotten and dissolved. Before oblivion claims him, a self-proclaimed god named Myrr intervenes. Myrr is neither benevolent nor malevolent but a cosmic rogue, drawn to the novelty of Jace’s unaligned existence. Instead of condemning Jace to the abyss, Myrr offers him an extraordinary deal: reincarnation in a world of magic, danger, and eternal conflict. There’s a catch, of course—this world is locked in a stalemate between two warring factions of divine forces, and Jace’s presence is meant to tip the scales. Awakening in a body stronger, faster, and sharper than his own, Jace discovers that survival in this new realm is anything but guaranteed. Armed with mysterious skills granted by the world’s system and little guidance from his so-called benefactor, he must navigate hostile lands, grow stronger, and decide how—or if—he will disrupt the precarious balance of power. It’s a second chance at life, but the question remains: is Jace truly free, or just another pawn in a divine game?
