A bracelet to harness the powers of magical cards.
A set of Trials that the mythological gods would be watching. Those who still live.... more>>

Frank didn't know what waited for him as he drifted away to his final sleep. He expected relief. He hoped for it.

What he didn't expect was being given magical cards to defend himself, minutes from waking up into a new world. He was now Champion, among hundreds of others, in some sort of divine Olympics where they had to earn and buy cards that could cast spells, conjure weapons out of thin air, or even summon beasts to do their bidding.

And he would need all the cards he could get. Especially once he learns of the debt he now owes, and once he realizes that he might not be the only one brought back to life.

---------

What to expect

This is a deckbuilding LitRPG, so expect card choices to matter.

There will be a heavier focus on action whenever a Trial is ongoing, and a mix of intrigue, worldbuilding, action and slice-of-life whenever there's downtime.

This story has a form of stats, but they're not prominent and will show up rarely.

And last warning, which I'm including because this type of magic is pretty divisive: This story contains mild mind magics and it cannot cause a loss of agency. The closest is I could compare to is Soothers and Rioters from the Mistborn series. The details will be revealed later on as I don't want to spoil everything, but this is worth the heads up.

Inspired by stories and games such as Omniscient Reader, Slay the spire, Hades, and a bunch of others.

Also, English isn't my first language, so let me know if something sounds awkward.

I hope you enjoy it. I'm definitely having fun writing it.

The specific day was December twenty-fifth, or as it was more commonly known, Christmas Eve. Up until then, nothing out of the ordinary. It was just another festive day like any other in the Loud house, or at least that's what Lincoln Loud thought. After waking up from a terrible nightmare he had after sleeping for nearly ten hours (he died and didn't even know it), the white-haired boy entered the living room. But instead of finding his family gathered around a well-decorated Christmas tree full of presents, all he found were his parents and his sisters dead on the floor of the living room, their bodies all torn apart, as if a creature with... more>> sharp claws and teeth had committed that horrendous act. After running out of the house with a look of despair and tears on his face, wishing that it was all just a dream, all he saw was his neighborhood completely destroyed, with many trees around as if he were in a forest, and those creatures, small and hideous, green in color, attacking everyone they saw in front of them.
***
After living through numerous adventures, saving countless lives, and experiencing several incestuous or non-incestuous romances, the young man, now in his 50s, reached a true impasse.
But when he was on the verge of death, something incredible and strange happened. Lincoln Loud not only went back in time to when he was still a child but also to a few days before all that shit happened. This time, will Lincoln, possessing his nearly 50 years of experience from the future, manage to prevent it from happening again, or will he lose his loved ones again?

Xia Zuoyi traversed and became a beautiful and delicate little lord in a fictional Western medieval fantasy novel. His gender was male, he loved males, and the role was cannon fodder. Under the shining halo of the Mary Sue heroine, in order to promote the development of the plot, he was constantly mentally disabled. He was, eventually, convicted and hanged to death.... more>>

After passing through, Xia Zuoyi touched his white and tender neck and thought, ‘I don’t want to be gay. I’m going to do infrastructure. It was better to do infrastructure than to fall in love! Please let me be beautiful alone! Thank you!’

Pope/Duke/Leader: Did we agree?

Here, the upper class was distinct from the lower class. The hierarchy was strict. Here, food was in short supply, medicine was backward, and city-state disputes continued. The prosperity of the nobility and the depression of the common people flourished together. Here was the romantic capital, but also the wild world.

There were rumors in the Western Continent that the Pope had the favor of God, the Grand Duke had more power than the king, and the leader of the chamber of commerce took over the wealth of the empire. However, Xia Zuoyi, in the name of Lord Rose, promoted the civilization and economic development of the whole Western Continent, unified city-states, and created a powerful industrial empire. He was the glory and the most vivid rose of the empire. Rumor had it that the Pope, the Grand Duke, and the Leader all bowed under his pants, but Lord Rose was dismissive.

Writing this for the healing of the heart with a modern fantasy plot.

Original Story! Not a fanfic or a translation!

Description:

Yoru reads his own story in a mysterious book that he found. In his second life, where he has struggled alone since childhood and does not know his family, he finds a little comfort from reading various novels.

The novel titled Unrequited Love that he accidentally found in the park gives him a big surprise. The story of his first life is written there, but he only exists as a side character who ultimately dies midway through the story due to betrayal.

Recalling his mistakes in the first life in a different world, Yoru continues to reread the novel over and over to find the reason he had to suffer. Then, he realizes it.

The female protagonist, Elaine, is the cause. Yoru lost everything because of Elaine. The old resentment that was buried starts to rise within him until he swears in his heart. If he could go back to his first life, he would make sure Elaine pays for her actions.

Or so he thought...

When he wakes up in confusion, he returns to his first world with the same name at the age of eight. Twenty years from now, he will die from a terminal illness.

What will he do to change his destiny in his first life? <<less

This is a story of a new beginning and a new adventure. Join Elysian on his quest, where his humorous antics and utter shamelessness propel him towards reshaping his past and crafting a new destiny.... more>>

From a baron's son to a slave in a foreign land, he rose to prominence to become a merchant and a master. Even though he now had the power to reclaim what was lost, all was gone. Even his revenge was taken from him. Now, he had everything but also nothing.

Fate had truly been cruel to him. But blaming her for his misfortune was a waste of time. She’s neither right nor fair—she’s blind. She could not see whose thread she was weaving. However, there was also a mystery to her. As she cuts a thread of life, she sometimes attaches it to a past long lost but not forgotten.
