For two millennia, the land has been ruled by mindless monsters. The hero has descended–and he is dead. Only one knows the truth. In a brutal world, a talentless child might not have the power to save humanity, but with a mind forged in calculation and madness, he may have just enough to avenge the brother he lost.

Syndic Mitth'raw'nuruodo. Chiss, officer, imperial. Thrawn. Thirteenth Grand Admiral of the Empire. The only alien in the service of Emperor Palpatine spent many years in the Unknown Regions.

The happiness did not last long - the Chiss was killed by his own bodyguard, and the Empire again plunged into crisis.

"Rosse... huh..." Rosse stared blankly at the boy in the mirror, momentarily at a loss for words. The boy in the mirror had a smooth and fair face, well-defined features, exuding a sense of cold and stern aura. His deep, dark eyes shimmered with captivating light, and his whole body radiated a noble temperament. He had transmigrated, or perhaps it was memory awakening, and directly became a Celestial Dragon. ’This is just, way too good!’ However, his identity was a bit awkward. His name was Jaygarcia Rosse, a standard Celestial Dragon name, and his grandfather was Jaygarcia Saturn, one of the current Five Elders, and also the first Five Elder to be removed in the original One Piece. ——— [Ding!

"Special Admission, Rank 1." That was the title on the golden invitation I threw into the trash three months ago. Back then, I was the Crime Lord of Oakhaven. I had money, territory, and an ego that touched the sky. Why would a King lower himself to attend a school? I was arrogant. I was foolish. And I paid the price. It took less than an hour for a single knight to turn my criminal empire into a graveyard. He didn't just defeat me; he ignored me. I was an ant beneath the boot of a god. Broken and desperate, I used my last asset: a golden letter granting me entry to Zenith Imperial Academy as "Special Admission Rank 1." It’s a lie. I’m not a prodigy. I’m a fraud with no foundation, surrounded by the strongest heirs in the Empire who want to see me bleed. I can’t cast their spells. I can’t hold their weapons. But I can steal their lives. My Authority is [Usurper]. While they study theory, I steal reflexes. While they practice honor, I copy trauma. I am not here to learn. I am here to hunt. My targets are the "Four Calamities"—four women who hold powers strong enough to rewrite reality. They think I’m their peer. They don’t know I’m the parasite waiting to hollow them out. I’m going to make them mine. Discord: https://discord.gg/FK9GfrSjtb

“Director Matou, the magical effects in your fantasy film looked incredibly realistic! How did you pull them off?” “They were real magic,” Shinji replied without missing a beat. “Director Matou, your historical drama was praised for its uncanny accuracy. How did you manage that?” “I had direct consultation from the people who lived in that era.” “Director, in your tokusatsu films, why does the Ultraman-like hero always use Bajiquan in combat?” “Well, that’s because the actor playing him is none other than the founder of Bajiquan himself.” “Director Matou, why do the female leads in all your films look so… similar? Especially all those Arturia actresses with the same name and face?” “That, my friend, is a long story. And it all begins with a certain mushroom-headed man—” “......” . . . . . Shinji Matou. A prodigious talent in the world of film, a renegade magi who defied the orthodoxy of the Clock Tower, and an eccentric summoner who had long since stopped pretending to get along with his own Servant. A director who blended modern cinema with ancient magecraft. A magus who saw the silver screen as a new kind of reality marble. He stood boldly before a press conference filled with journalists, film critics, and confused magi alike. “I am the greatest Master among Directors—and the greatest Director among Masters!” He declared it like a line straight out of his own movie, with all the pomp and confidence of a man who had rewritten the rules of both cinema and sorcery. The hall fell into an awkward silence. And then, in perfect unison, a thunderous cry echoed from behind the curtains— “SHUT UP AND GET LOST!” ×N A chorus of exasperated Servants, all fed up with his antics. Shinji didn’t flinch. He simply smirked, adjusted his director’s beret, and turned back to the flashing cameras. "Good! Now let’s roll the cameras! Scene one—reality itself."

Transmigrating into the world of Battle Through the Heavens, he became Xiao Xuan’s cousin. Faced with Xiao Xuan gathering all of the Xiao Clan's bloodline power into himself in a desperate attempt to break through to the Dou Emperor realm, Xiao Tiance knew that Xiao Xuan would ultimately fall victim to an ambush by the Soul Clan and perish. Thus, Xiao Tiance unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Xiao Xuan: “Brother Xuan, if you truly insist on doing this, our Xiao Clan will inevitably decline because of you!” “You have all basked in glory for a thousand years. It is time to restore our clan’s prestige,” Xiao Xuan said domineeringly, standing with his hands behind his back. “Then kill me first, and use the meager bloodline within me to aid you in your pursuit.” Thank you for the support, friends.

“Kindness built upon others’ suffering is the most hypocritical kind of kindness.” — Uzumaki Kushina ——— A bloodstained Uchiha boy walked toward the main gate, carrying three human heads. All three heads wore masks, their faces impossible to identify. This boy was Rengoku, rushing back from Kusagakure after being rescued by Muku and Ryuzetsu. He traded a single piece of intel for a special rapid treatment. He never dared stop, not even to change clothes, heading straight back to Konoha. When he reached the village gate, gatekeepers Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu stepped up immediately to confirm his identity. “Uchiha Rengoku, mission in Kusagakure.” While flipping through the file in his hand, Hagane Kotetsu gave the heads a quick look. “Did something unexpected happen?” ——— “Looks like I made it in time.” Hearing the clan meeting had just ended, Rengoku finally let out a breath of relief. He had been rushing nonstop, didn’t even change clothes, and managed to make it back before the night of the clan extermination. The Uchiha clan meeting had wrapped up already. Konoha had learned from Itachi about the Uchiha coup plan. Danzo had likely already ordered Itachi to wipe out the clan. Itachi was probably contacting Tobi these past few days, preparing to move. But now that he’d made it back, there was still a chance to gamble. ——— For Rengoku, this was only the beginning. As long as he protected the Uchiha clan, its members would become his endless source of chakra. The rise of the Uchiha was the road to his own power. He would one day become the god of the Uchiha. And even, the GOD OF THIS WORLD. (It is being continued from Chapter 336. To read previous chapters, search the name.) ═❀IT'S A TL❀═ RAW:

PvZ meets Solo Farming In The Tower. What to expect: - Mature and logical MC who refuse to be devoured by vengeance - A garden full of war crimes - Character driven story over fast-pace progression - Lovable cast of characters - Lore. Lots of lore regarding the dungeons and the civilizations that had fallen within it for you lorebrarians. - Update daily at 6pm CET -------------- “In a gold rush, the position of shovel vendors is reserved for the privileged.” That was a lesson Phong Tran had to learn the hard way. One year after the dungeon appeared, it had become a modern gold rush. People awakened classes, unlocked skills, and dove into the dungeon for its seemingly endless riches and resources. Phong, a level 1 Farmer with a dead EXP bar, naturally gravitated toward becoming a wandering vendor. While other people fought monsters, gained EXP, and became media heroes, he sold them socks, battery banks, and energy drinks. Phong existed in the space between glory and obscurity, until one day, a privileged bastard took everything from him. He was beaten half to death, and his aunt and uncle were “erased” for being inconvenient to those at the top. As if it had a cruel sense of humor, Phong received his first and only quest while lying in his sickbed: “Plant 10 potatoes.” No rewards. No promise of revenge. Just 10 potatoes sitting there, as if to mock his powerlessness. He took the quest. And now, he must conquer the dungeon with only 10 potatoes to his name.

In a universe where power costs pieces of your soul, Eric Heisenberg awakens reborn with fragments of a past life spent climbing to the top, only to die beneath its crushing weight. He knows exactly where this road leads. Absolute power demands absolute selfishness. So he wears masks, becomes whoever the moment requires, and calls it survival. But the deeper he goes, the less certain he is that anyone is left underneath. Thirty Pathways. Thirty royal families. A world teetering on the edge of the Cataclysmic Era, calm on the surface, yet already shifting violently beneath. Eric climbs anyway through betrayal, forgotten promises, and the slow erosion of everything that once made him human, chasing a dream he can no longer clearly remember. Will he carry the world again? Or will he finally choose himself… and break fate in the process?

This is an Original Copyrighted Work. Lyon Sable had always strived to do two things, cultivate to become a great Kei Master and find out exactly what happened to his parents on the night they were killed and find who was responsible for killing them. What he could never have expected was to be thrust into not only a War of Intrigue between Continents but also fight Immortals, become best friends with a tree, find out whether the Universe itself is alive and much more. Prolog Below: "They should have known… Looking back it was obvious, wasn't it?" The man sighed... His sorrow was so profound that the world around him seemed to blacken. Even in the middle of the biggest Armageddon to have ever hit life on Theloniaum, that sound seemed to carry heavier than any blood in the wind. He had been a boy once. He had fought until he believed he became a man. And that man grew to be viewed a hero. Even in the midst of despair the hero persevered, fighting against all odds to become a living legend. Looking back at it all, he could almost laugh at the irony. It sounded like a glorious tale to those who didn't know. To others he was invincible, the final light in the dark of the night. Only he could tell, only he could know that while the legend may live, the man who made the legend was more uncertain than even the boy he had once been. Too many things had changed, too many people had been torn apart due to allegiance, lies, death and so much more. He was a legend amongst the many but understood by very few. A familiar tearing pain burst into life in the back of his mind. It seemed even that small consolation was good as gone now. Feeling a blaze burst to life in the back of his mind he smiled bloodily. It seemed part of his group had found more enemies. His smile turned deadly, they had finally found the origin of all this. Deciding to make one last gambit he stood, facing the sight of his own personal hellscape for what he sincerely hoped was the last time. Broken bodies lay scattered everywhere he looked. Some friends, many enemies, but all faces he once knew. The ruined landscapes were mutating as he watched. Fiendish Kei gathered in some spots where creatures began to form. Other areas erupted in great bouts of elemental Kei that left rapidly forming volcanos of various elements. He idly glanced at a shadow volcano that rumbled threateningly nearby. With a wave of his hand, it disappeared. His own eyes grew a shade darker, before he could do much more, a sudden feeling hit him. He looked up, fractals of energy swirling to life in his pupils. Mortal eyes witnessing what shouldn't be possible. The laws of causality bore down on him, ready to strike down the fool who thought to surpass reality. "I guess this was how it was always going to be", he chuckled, showing the first real trace of emotion on his face in an eternity. He lowered his head. Slowly, he walked through the carnage. Debris vanished in front of him, blood flowed around him, the ground itself shredded by the sharpness of his gaze. His presence shifted. Mist started condensing around him. The pressure he exerted growing a fold with every step. The unstable Kei energy in the surroundings went into complete chaos. Lightning, hail, fire, rocks and more started raining down all around. All at once he stopped. His head raised with agonizing slowness, seeming to be held down by some unseen weight. "Whether you are the Heavens, aliens, or something else it doesn't matter. You seem to have forsaken us. In that case, I shall let everything in existence hear your screams. For no one, not even the heavens above will decide my fate" the legend muttered. The world around him exploded, Kei screaming towards him from every direction to contain his figure. He took one last glance at the ruined surroundings and the energy rushing his way. He vanished before the energy could get close. The places above had challenged him for the last time, one way or the other.

Mark did not survive the corporate world by being a genius. He survived by copying one. Whenever his logistics firm faced an impossible deficit, Mark asked himself one question: What would Reine Asakura do in this kind of situation? Reine was the cold, calculating, flawlessly logical protagonist of his favorite light novel, "Welcome to the High School of Meritocracy." Mark used her fictional strategies to climb the corporate ladder in the real world by simulating her cold, analytical thought process. Then, a twelve-ton truck suffered a brake failure, and Mark’s real world ended. He wakes up inside the biological vessel of Kenji, a painfully average, 160-centimeter-tall background character. He is sitting in a pristine white classroom. The girl sitting at the desk next to him has flat, dark reddish-brown hair, piercing amber eyes, and a perfectly neutral expression. It is Reine Asakura. He is trapped inside the novel. This academy does not operate on friendship or standard grades. It operates on a brutal "Seat Economy." Classes fight in psychological Special Exams to earn currency. That currency is used to buy the physical seats of students in rival classes. Once your seat is bought, you pay monthly rent to the enemy. If you default, you are expelled. It is a system of financial hostage-taking and mutual assured destruction. Kenji does not want to be her ally. In his previous life, he owed his entire corporate success to Reine's way of genius thinking. He was imitating her mind's cognitive process. Now, standing next to his idol, he feels the ultimate drive of a fanatic. Just as a basketball player dreams of playing a serious, limit-testing game against their ultimate idol, Kenji wants to step onto the court against Reine. He wants to prove he can dismantle the flawless genius mind that built his own success in his previous life. Kenji has one advantage: he knows the entire three-year timeline of the novel. But he also knows a mathematical truth. Meta-knowledge is not enough to defeat the super-genius, Reine Asakura, in a fair fight. If Reine detects that he can predict the future, her genius mind will adapt, and she will crush him. Kenji makes a calculated decision. He cannot fight her immediately because they are assigned to the same class. He knows her exact script: Reine will operate in the shadows for two years, secretly pulling the strings to elevate their defective Class D to the top-ranking Class A. Once she succeeds, she will transfer to an enemy class in Year Three simply to seek a real challenge. That is Kenji's strict deadline. He has exactly 24 months to gather the massive currency required to execute his own transfer to a third, opposing class. While Reine builds her empire, Kenji plays the perfect background character. He acts like an idiot. He complains about trivial things. He tricks Reine into categorizing him as harmless biological noise, even provoking her into a spontaneous, absurd bet: If he ever defeats her in a battle of wits, she has to go on a date with him. She agrees, calculating the probability of his victory at zero. She is wrong. While Reine manipulates the school from the shadows, Kenji uses his future knowledge to quietly exploit the economy's blind spots. He builds an untraceable dark pool of capital right under her nose. Then, the first day of Year Three arrives. Former Class D became Class A. Reine transfer to other class. Kenji cashes in his hidden funds, executes a hostile class transfer, and shatters his camouflage. The two-year observation phase is over. Reine’s data on foolish Kenji become suddenly obsolete. The war between a flawless super genius and a man holding the knowledge of the future has begun. #shadowmastermind #manipulation #psychological #strategy #tactic #battleofwits #pretendingtobeweak #hiddenabilities #calculation #highschool #schoollife #metaknowledge #chess #cote #cunning #ruthless #scheme #underdog #hierarchy #meritocracy #cold

"Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer." That was Ulrich’s thought when he decided to adopt the three villainesses as daughters of his House despite knowing they were destined to be his doom in the novel he now found himself in. But he greatly underestimated the consequences and the burden that came with it.... He should have known that adopting the three most dangerous witches in the world wasn’t just a bad idea, it was a disaster waiting to happen. Now, he was forced to face the fallout of his decision while also facing his role as the hated professor of the story’s protagonists and heroines!
