The Archmetamagician: The Weave Collapses Again

Roen Ashveil spent 300 years as the continent’s greatest archmage. He died tired, alone, and sitting in a bad chair. Then he woke up at nineteen. No more wars. No more saving the world. He wants one thing: a quiet inn in a town nobody cares about. He finds Millhaven, buys a run-down tavern called the Rusty Compass, and brews ale from a recipe that won’t be invented for another 150 years. The problem? His inn sits at the exact crossroads where every future hero, villain, and catastrophe is going to converge — decades ahead of schedule.

After rebirth, there was no need for hesitation—if the younger generation wouldn’t agree, he would go straight to the older one. With memories of the future in hand, wealth and women were never going to be scarce. Thus, after being reborn, he set himself a modest goal: first, become the richest man alive.

They laughed at him. Filmed him. Destroyed him. Then forgot him. Li Wei died as a joke. He came back as the punchline. [System Activated: Applause] Turn humiliation into power. Turn attention into strength. Turn the audience into your weapon. This time— Every laugh will cost them. And every performance… Will be their last mistake.

The most powerful man alive gave Alistair Thorne the rights to construct a faction. On a continent where empires are built on the back of those who can't fight back, one man decided that wasn't good enough. He had no territory, no army, no throne, and no intention of sitting on one. What he did have was a Characteristic called Equalizer. A power that adapts to any threat, the stronger the opposition, the stronger he becomes. Factions rise and collapse overnight on the continent. The powerful consume the weak and call it governance. A system so old that most have forgotten it was built by design, by something, somewhere, sitting on a throne that no one dares to name. Except for one. The Sun Harvest will fight its way to the top, tear down every obstacle, and leave a mark on a continent that never expected to remember it. It starts with one man and a single goal, but it won't stay that way...

Man is the spirit of all things, and gu are the refined fragments of the Great Dao. The ambition which blooms with the spring's morning breeze withers at the call of autumn's night. The accumulation of five hundred years - triumphs and failures - will be naught but ash with dawn's first light. The rising of the sun bathes the mountains in golden flame, but 'tis sunset upon the demon's time. The demonic overlord, Fang Yuan, is cornered by his enemies after word gets out that he refined the Spring Autumn Cicada - a gu worm rumored to be capable of having a chance at sending one back in time but demands a terrifying price in return - the user's entire existence! With no hope of escape, in desperation, Fang Yuan uses the Spring Autumn Cicada which miraculously lives up to its name and sends him back in time. And now, he's back in Gu Yue Village as a fifteen-year-old ready to use his knowledge of the future to conquer the world... but there's something wrong. Something is quite different this time around. What's with this new notification that keeps popping up in his view? It calls itself 'The Goody Two-Shoes System.' It also starts giving him quests to complete. "Help Fang Zheng gain his confidence back!" - get a Green Copper Relic Gu! "Help your friends refine their gu worms!" - have your aptitude raised by 2%! All of these rewards and quests before him, why are they trying to convert this demonic overlord to the path of righteousness? And aren't some of these quests kind of... sus? Why does marrying Bai Ning Bing give him an immortal gu? Whatever, anything for benefits! This is a fanfiction based on Gu Zhen Re's work 'Reverend Insanity' known in Chinese as 蛊真人 or 'Gu Taoist Master'. I don't own the rights to the original work. 'Gu' in the context of this story are mystical insects that have various powers and are the basis of the world's cultivation system.

Amara never imagined her life would be decided by a single deal. Forced into a marriage with the cold and powerful Damien Valerius, she quickly realizes that their union is not about love—it’s about power, secrets, and control.

But the closer Amara gets to him, the more she discovers that nothing about Damien is simple. In a world where trust is rare and betrayal hides behind every smile, Amara must decide: Will she remain the reluctant bride… or become a woman powerful enough to change the game?

No one knows where he came from. Not even he remembers it clearly. They called him Malrick. And fate? It dropped him straight into the Marvel Universe... as an infant. Alone. Powerless. Human. Until he was found by Howard Stark. Adopted into a world of ambition, innovation, and cold secrets, Malrick was raised in the shadow of brilliance. Beside Tony, he studied machines, physics, and human nature. But beneath it all, something inside him whispered… Something alien. Everything changed on his 18th birthday. When his cells ignited. His blood shimmered. And the Kryptonian Code inside him awakened. Strength. Flight. Heat vision. Invincibility. And more than that — his unique power to bend time, space, and dimensional laws. He wasn’t just a superhuman. He was an evolutionary apex, the beginning of something greater. From that moment, Malrick's journey truly began. He left behind the shadows of Stark Tower, and stepped into something much larger. A Multiverse without limits. — The T-Virus spread in Raccoon City? He burned it out with solar fire. — Voldemort rising in Britain? He crushed a Horcrux between his fingers. — Darkseid watching from the far end of time? Malrick looked back. — Cosmic Entities and Celestials? They noticed him now. Resident Evil. DC. Swallowed Star. Harry Potter. The Boys. Naruto. Name a world — he walks it. And with each step, he evolves. Absorbing power. Defying fate. Rewriting the laws of existence themselves. He’s not just a visitor to these worlds. He’s their reckoning. "I am Kryptonian. Reincarnator. Multiversal anomaly. I do not follow the legacy of gods or heroes… I forge my own.” One man. Infinite timelines. And a storm coming for every universe that ever dared to write him off. ********************************** Join our discord server Link: https://discord.gg/Mr8Q62CH Support us on patreon (+Gain access to chapters in advance) Link: patreon.com/Zphyr_ ********************************** Check out my other fanfictions, they're good.
