Additional Book Tags; Physicological, Gore, Cunning male lead, Game elements, gods, Anti hero, Suspense, Large World, Gaslighting. Synopsis At the end of it all, Dssal was the one who built Pantheon. "My felicitations to the Nameless God." They said, if he'd lived long enough to hear it. December 24th, 2026 marked the start of everything: the day he stepped into Pantheon. Not as some chosen god, though—that chance was barely there. Pantheon was a cosmic horror game, one in which Dssal entered as a throwaway nobody, burdened with the miserable title of "Feeble Wanderer." If Alice hadn't lived through this exact timeline ninety-nine times before, there would be no story to tell today. After all, even across every loop so far, she'd failed—and this run was her last. To the world continuum, a regressor was nothing special. As per the game's lore, a divine war among the Eight High Gods broke containment, and their chaos inevitably spilled from Cosmos into the real world. Earth could only survive if this impossible game was cleared—a matter of life and death of a version of the game which hadn't been cleared even without the war. Dssals predicament was almost impossible. Possibility only remained because to balance cause and effect Dssal was offered something different. The Eight High wields the power of manifestation, hence a new law emerged—one bound by a broken loophole: The User's Manual. Fallacy When inside Pantheon, by the Eight High's will, if developers and players alike believes Dssal (the creator) possessed something, the system would code it real—according to the manual. Falsehood could literally become a weapon. Dssal grinned when he heard it. This wasn't a power fantasy. This was the story of how the weakest Arcane Bearer alive lies, cheats, and claws his way through survival long enough to turn the end of the world into leverage. This is the story of How To Use A World's Apocalypse. --- A/N: The main story fully begins at chapter 11 btw and a full written volume of 101 chapters is already available hence do belive in this unrivalled authors consistency XD

REBIRTH OF THE MALICIOUS EMPRESS OF MILITARY LINEAGE

The morning drums were thundered across the Iron Phoenix of the Military Manor, shaking with the frost from the stone of the courtyards. Soldiers were all moving in perfect rhythm, blades flashing so much under the pale of the sun. Among them were once stood Shi Lian, raised not to be as a fragile lady and modestly surrounded by beauty but as a weapon forged in discipline. Yet their memories now felt distantly like a life stolen from her. Beyond this, were the manor’s harsh strength laid in the Radiant Palace, a place where many of the jade halls and silk curtains where all beauty hid in so much corruption. Every smile was concealed in ambition, every bow being religiously done, is carried out with a calculated. It was a palace where so much in loyalty died quietly. Deep within it sprawled off the Vermillion Harem Court, where the consorts fought wars without their swords. Sweet voices were poured poisoned tea, and rumors traveled faster than the arrows. Here, their reputations were all slaughtered before bodies were. Far away from their whispers, the Imperial Study of their remains cold and silent. Maps of the conquered lands were all covered with the walls, and the Emperor worked all alone beneath the dim lantern light. Once, Shi Lian had believed that the man would stand beside her forever for her. But the battlefield of the memories still burned down, mud, fire, screaming of horses, and betrayals were all in the shape of the lyrics to the rhythm.

The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?
