Heaven's Will definitely existed. If not the case, then I wouldn't be able to explain why I was reborn. Why was a common old soldier like like me given a second chance?... more>>

What about my comrades? Did their karma not allow the grace?

I immediately knew why I was reborn. It must have been to kill that damn psychopath who was eating people to prolong his life. That reincarnate who called himself 'Gilgamesh' and a demigod.

After sharpening my abilities, I finally met him face-to-face.

He was as l'd expected... A demon required no mercy. He drained the blood of the living, and I sent him to the afterlife to pay for it.
However, my plan had failed.

The result was the destruction of my whole world.

Everything I knew vanished, and everyone died in an instant. I didn't know how he did it, but this cannibal had a trump card in his death.

My story should've ended there...

"Hey, handsome, are you finally waking up?" l'd opened my eyes in new flesh. Feeling like my memories and body were incomplete. I felt a breathing mask while submerged in a tank of strange fluids. This scene made me theorise...

...that my life from now on wouldn't be the same.
Now I had to pretend to be that psychopath's clone.

Pretend I didn't have memories of the past.

—
Even though the MC is literally chased by the time, there will be many slices of life, tons of world-building, and interaction with many different characters. The burn will slow as our main character, Vincent, searches for his family and friends in a System world that is brimming with monsters wanting to take a sweet bite from his flesh and time.
—
This book’s main goal is to build a mysterious System world where to require anything–stats, skills, food, or even a little bit of underwear— you need to sacrifice something dear to you, your own limited lifespan. Also, I want to write interesting characters and build a culture built upon this ‘Time is all’ mechanic.
—
There will be stats but also the cultivation mechanics.
The system actively manipulates its inhabitants instead of only giving out free power and being done with it.
Our protagonist, Vincent, is a young man in his early twenties, also an ex-college-freshman with many regrets and errors, but he understands those facts too late.

***I am planning to release daily until it is chapter ten, then two times a week schedule (Monday-Friday)

*** The first ten chapters are short, but later chapters will be much longer. (2700~ words)

I'm new to writing the world in my mind, so I appreciate your feedback and comments in advance. Thank you!

History becomes legend, legend becomes myth. But never forget, at the heart of every myth lies a grain of truth.... more>>

Centuries have passed since the generation of Champions either fell or vanished, leaving behind a world bereft of Exoene.

In the current day and age, the Champions have become nothing but figures of myth. Only ancient, preserved battlefields and closed portals to other planes of existence proving such godlike personages existed at some point in the distant past.

Forces have been conspiring in the shadows, however. Where most of the world believes that the powers wielded by the generation of Champions were exaggerations at best, fanciful tall tales at worst, ancient organisations and the United Government know that their powers were understated, to put it mildly.

Well-known multicontinental Mega Corporations. Reclusive Ancient Family Clans. Shadow organisations thriving in the cracks and crevices of society. And above them all, the United Government, spearheading a worldwide project to regain what Humanity used to grasp in the palm of their hands.

It all begins with the Resurgence of Exoene.

Year 3318 of the Old Earth calendar.
Third Day of the Month of Verdant Blades.

Two weeks remain until the launch of the New Age of Champions, and Lucian Noxlear couldn’t wait.

Life had been monotonous ever since graduating from university and finding a job. Having always been a bit of a history buff since he was young, it was almost inevitable that he would pursue a degree in aforementioned subject when he grew up.

Unfortunately, while he brimmed with passion, his grades weren’t good enough to pursue an actual career in said field post-university.

Without parents to fall back on and the pressing need to provide for himself, Lucian had no choice but to settle for a typical old desk job and live from day to day.

All that changed when the New Age of Champions, a VRMMORPG inexplicably promoted by the United Government, was announced close to a year ago.

«Forge thy Foundation. Blaze thy Trail. Ascend the mountain of Godhood».

Besides those three phrases, all he knew was that:

1. Four hours in the game was equivalent to an hour in reality.

2. Gold farming was a viable—even promoted—career in -game.

3. Unlike games of the past, players were free to customise most everything about their characters.

For the last eleven months, Lucian had been saving up and cutting down on any unnecessary expenses, eagerly waiting for the day the New Age of Champions, or NAoC, would launch.

Like every other interested party worldwide, he only hope the wait would be worth it. <<less

Thousands of violent criminals and monsters in a prison, but only one shard to make them invincible.... more>>

Roid is a limp gladiator who fought life and death battles in the pits for freedom. But when he at last pulled off a hundred-battle winning streak, instead of being freed like promised, he was thrown into Raventor.

Roid would do anything for freedom. Raventor, being a prison, would never let anybody escape.

There are monsters and mythical creatures here in the prison along with violent criminals with means far outstripped Roid. There are also legacies of the fallen gods here. Most of all, the shard is still here, waiting for the taking.

Join Roid in his swashbuckling adventure as he fights against all the odds for freedom. <<less
