He sees the exhaustion behind their smiles, the silent suffering they try to hide, and it breaks him. He carries regret for the things........

In the world’s most realistic VRMMORPG, Eternal Dominion, one player was different. Priyanshu, a low-ranked beta tester, discovered a bug during the tutorial — something the devs never intended. Instead of choosing a class, he became the system’s root user. Instead of playing the game… he could rewrite it. [Skill Acquired: "Command Override"] [Effect: Edit any stat. Any time. Any player.] [Warning: This is a developer-only function.] But things spiraled out of control when the game merged with reality. Now, monsters roam the cities. Guilds rule the streets. Level 1 means you're weak. Level 0 means you're dead. Only Priyanshu has access to the broken root code of the world — but each command draws attention from something older than the system... A God hidden inside the game itself.

To his enemies, he’s a death sentence. To his brothers-in-arms in Graveyard, he’s family. But to himself... he's a haunted man searching for a past stolen in gunfire and smoke. After a flawless mission deep in the Eastern Province, Ghost returns to the hidden forest base he's called home for sixteen years. Yet the victory is short-lived. His foster father, the commander delivers an unexpected order: "That was your last mission." Now, Ghost—real name Miles Sterling—must step out of the shadows of war and into a world he’s never known. Guided only by a scarred letter, a fading memory, and the voice of a woman he hasn’t seen since the day everything was taken from him. But war forged more than his body and name. Behind the mask, behind the scars, Miles has another secret. One he’s kept hidden even from his brothers in arms. He’s not just a weapon. He’s a ghost with a fortune—a hidden empire he built in silence, across borders and black markets, forged in strategy and blood. A man of many names, and many shadows. Beneath the bullets, tattoos, and silence lies a truth buried in ashes. And Ghost is about to dig it up—one letter, one enemy, one memory at a time.

Thrown into a goddess war with the weakest-ranked goddess, “Geng” traded all his stats and strength for one power—he can inflict any curse on himself in exchange for half a blessing.

Thrown into a shattered realm beyond reality, the Starfall Sanctum, he meets ancient spirits, forgotten weapons, talking swords, divine beasts, and fragments of a legacy he was never meant to remember.

In the heart of a war-torn Middle East, Kaelen is an enigma. At just four years old, his child's body hides the mind and soul of Alistair Thorne, a legendary and ruthless 19th-century elite supersoldier, reborn after a fatal mission. Waking in a modern world not his own, Kaelen finds himself in an impoverished village where survival is the only law. Far from being a helpless child, Kaelen possesses an innate ability for violence and tactical dominance. His rebirth activates the "God-Level Mercenary System," an advanced interface that not only grants him experience and lethal rewards for each eliminated enemy (from ammunition to medicine and combat analysis) but also unlocks knowledge branches like Military Engineering and Combat Medicine. This system allows him to not just recall and perfect his past skills but also pushes him to surpass his previous limits, learning new mechanics to analyze weapons, hone his physique, and master the art of modern warfare. When a band of marauders attacks his humble village, Kaelen's brutal efficiency is unleashed. Despite the limitations of his small body and the exhausting fight, he uses the terrain, rudimentary weapons, and his lethal special forces martial arts to decimate the bandits, proving that a child can be the nightmare of any hostile force. His act of protection earns him the respect and fear of the villagers. However, Kaelen is no conventional savior. As a relentless leader with a clear objective, he warns them that his stay is temporary. With the cold authority of a commander, he forces both children and adults to undergo brutal training, forging them into a legion of survivors. His goal is clear: to transcend his past, dominate the underworld of shadows and arms trafficking, and become the ultimate Mercenary God, capable of raising villages, commanding armies, and overthrowing governments, all while searching for the proper place for his growing power.

After dying in the real world, I woke up inside the very novel I never got to finish. But I’m not the hero. Not the villain. Just a side character ranked 1825 out of 2000, with a G-rank talent and no future. But there’s one glitch: I wasn’t supposed to exist. And the system doesn’t know what to do with me anymore…
