After Being Reborn, I became a firefighter again?

Karl Wagner is a disgruntled middle-aged instructor at the Bundeswehr Command and Staff College. He finds himself concerned about the direction in which the German nation is headed just as he is killed in a terrorist attack. Only to awaken and find himself reborn as an infant, Bruno von Zehntner, the youngest son of a noble family renowned for its part in the German war industry a few years after the founding of the German Empire. Bruno, as he is now known, desires to rewrite history and ensure the German Empire emerges victorious in the coming century. And in doing so, finds himself entrenched in a world filled with Blood and Iron!

In a distant past, the seven Ancestral Beasts clashed, and the blood they spilled rained onto the entire plane, infecting humans and animals alike, making them part of their powerful bloodlines. As a small village’s hunter, Liam was unaware of the consequences of that legendary battle. His sole goal was to become a cultivator to gain the strength and resources he needed to avenge his family. Yet, when Liam’s Ancestral Bloodline awakened, he uncovered a connection between his family’s killers and the Dragon King, a connection that could expand his revenge to the entire Kingdom. -------------------- Discord link: https://discord.gg/mefzf3aQJ8 Instagram: eocnovels X: @EoCNovels Cover artist: https://digitalrowye.com

When the System descends, it does not choose heroes—it assigns roles. Ethan Vale is not given a blade, a spell, or a class built to kill. He is handed something far worse: management. In a ruined city where office workers become prey and the rules of survival twist into something cold and unreadable, Ethan can only classify the living, ration the dying, and interpret a System that seems less interested in saving people than in deciding how much they are worth. As monsters stalk the darkened halls and panic spreads through the remaining survivors, every command he issues carries a cost. Every person he marks, every resource he reallocates, every rule he bends drags him deeper into a nightmare where authority feels like a curse and structure is just another word for control. In this apocalypse, the most terrifying thing may not be what’s hunting them—but the fact that the System has already decided who can be used, who can be discarded, and who will be broken first.

Cedric Hale was dying in a sterile hospital bed until he woke up beneath the iron-grey skies of the North, wearing the skin of a Dúnedain Ranger and speaking Sindarin as if it were his mother tongue. Transmigrated into the body of Halbarad’s kinsman just as the War of the Ring ignites, he carries the "Morgul Pact"—a parasitic system that harvests the essence of betrayal and despair to forge a "Crown of Ash and Shadow." While he rides with Aragorn and the Grey Company, the system urges him to convert genuine bonds into "teeth" for his dark crown, granting him the supernatural ability to see the "Kinslayer’s Insight" in every ally. Now, as the fleet sails toward the burning fires of Minas Tirith, Cedric must decide if he will become a rival to the Witch-king or use the "Ranger’s Last Choice" to shatter his own dark divinity for a world that may never thank him.
