The Only Thing Harder Than Revenge Is My Sarcastic Cheat

Max Taylor was supposed to get a second chance. One moment he was dying in a crumpled car, headlights bleeding into the night— the next, he opened his eyes beneath a foreign sky, reborn into a world where the wind smelled cleaner and the stars burned unfamiliar. Fate, he thought, was finally being kind. But kindness doesn’t linger. Within months, his new parents—gentle hands, warm smiles, the family he never had—were murdered without a trace. No bodies. No clues. Just the echo of loss repeating itself like a cruel cosmic joke. Grief hardened into a quiet storm inside him, a five-year-old carrying an anger far too ancient. Just when the darkness felt bottomless, his “golden finger” arrived. The Wish Stone. Sentient. Sensitive. And loud enough to give a monk a migraine. Sy—blunt, sarcastic, and convinced Max is one bad decision wrapped in skin—becomes his unwilling partner. Every boost, every upgrade, every tiny miracle drains Max’s hard-earned Wish Points. Sy charges him for everything, even cleaning up messes Max didn’t know he made. If power came with a troll, it would look exactly like this. Armed with grit, borrowed miracles, and Sy’s nonstop commentary, Max grows stronger in the shadows of the mundane world—picking up scraps of intel, dismantling gangs, digging through the grime for the one truth that matters: who killed his parents? But the truth comes with fangs. Taking on a job, Max stumbles upon a request to kill a vampire, a confirmation that the world he's in isn't as it seems. Behind the neon-lit alleys and smoky hideouts lies a hidden realm—creatures of myth walking in tailored suits, old powers trading secrets beneath moonlit cathedrals, mysteries sharper than blades. The underworld he hunted is only the surface. And the monster he’s been chasing? He isn’t the killer. Worse—his parents aren’t dead. Everything Max has bled for, every path he clawed his way through, every night of rage, every wish… all built on a perfect, deliberate lie. Now Max must dive deeper, into a maze of shadows where truth costs more than Wish Points, and the dead don’t stay dead. With Sy’s taunting voice in his ear and a destiny shaped by secrets, Max hunts the real puppeteer pulling the strings of his life—twice. A boy reborn. A world concealed. A sarcastic cheat system with opinions. And a mystery that rewrites everything.

Pokémon: The Dawn of Industry

Born with the mind of a modern engineer in a world stuck in the Iron Age, Seiko is the third son of a high lord and the shame of his family. He's seen as a burden—a useless dreamer obsessed with blueprints, numbers, and strange theories that matter to no one. Feared for his intelligence and despised for his lack of martial prowess, he is exiled to the untamed wilds of Unova to die. One less problem for a proud family. But in this untamed frontier, where wild Pokémon are a mortal terror, Seiko's "useless" knowledge is the only power that matters. Alone and on the brink of death, he forges an alliance with a broken Pawniard and makes a promise: he will not just survive. He will build. Armed with the laws of physics and a will of steel, Seiko ignites the first flame of industry. What begins with a simple mud forge becomes tempered steel. Steel becomes machines. Machines are fed by tamed rivers to create electricity. From outcast hermit to prophet-leader, he becomes a man who can create power tools, tame wild beasts with steel engines, and raise walls in days, not decades. But progress is loud. The smoke from his factories and the thunder of his "Lightning Hammer" draw the attention of bandits, the native tribes, and finally, the family that left him for dead. Seiko only wanted to build a refuge; instead, he has forged a nation. Can one man, armed with science, reforge a world... or will the old order crush him before his industrial revolution can even begin?

A God of hope.

Heath Dollen was a man in his 40s who lived in a suburban complex in Lund, Sweden. He was lonely and spent most of his days tending to himself after gaining osteoarthritis and uncontrolled refractive errors that sometimes led to his vision blurring, due to his bad habit of spending too long sitting in his vehicle and not exercising enough. Heath had travelled throughout Europe and Asia, painting and writing avidly about his experiences. When he is not in his apartment, he does his best to give warmth to others around him, helping people around his neighbourhood, aiding in light labour, cleaning the environment, and donating much of his money to people he verified that required it. Heath saw the downtrodden teen Elias drop his phone on accident from the other side of the street. To help, he thought of buying a new phone for this young man. He introduced himself and after gaining their trust, Heath and Elias became good friends and Heath was even nicknamed 'uncle.' There, he was introduced to many games, specifically sandbox games. Heath heard of Games like Minecraft and Roblox, but after being introduced to 7 Days to Die, Cities: Skylines, Dwarf Fortress, Enshrouded, Going Medieval, Valheim, Project Zomboid, Rimworld, Vintage Story and more. Heath became an avid gamer while also gaining strength by replacing some of his joints with prosthetics and managing his exercises and diet. It was slow progress, but his life became more fulfilling than ever. Now he had a family to look forward to! But at one point, while Elias was helping with Heath's troubles, he spotted a man who appeared lost, walking across the street in traffic, yet was somehow never hit. Heath said aloud that they should be careful there and asked if they needed assistance. The man, that 'thing', turned to him. Now walking towards Heath robotically, yet avoiding the vehicles like a phantom, they soon came upon him. Once close enough, its features were noticed: A beautiful, yet uncannily androgynous face, eyes that appeared too clear and glassy, and skin that was too perfect with no features of wrinkles or pores and no hair throughout. A voice that sounded harmonic with the world spoke, yet their mouth never moved. "Perfect." A melodic sound, one expected for a tenor, it captivated Heath but simultaneously scared those around him, then. . . Suddenly, Heath blacked out. Hearing the cry of Elias for him. He left this world.
