I owed her a proper letter, I didn’t write enough, but what could I say. It seemed like everyone else wrote so much more than me, but they probably had more people to write to than just their mom. Every time I tried to tell her what happened with Anne, what the trenches were like, how desperately I had to hold myself together, the agony I was always in, why should she know, what was the point. I never could figure out if it was kind or cruel that demons could never have demonic parents, my mom’s humanity meaning she would never know how it was, and sometimes, like now, I wouldn’t tell her if... more>> I could. I like being her invincible daughter, like no other succubus, how happy she was when I convinced her I would survive this, and I would, but she didn’t need to know how, but I couldn't lie. My letter told her I was alive, not sick or injured, that I miss my home, I miss her, that I love her. It was what I could manage, so it had to be enough, she would understand.

The leader to look up to?

Or the hero he vowed ... for the woman who stole his heart?

You want to go back home? Then grow a spine and pay attention. Danger lurks around every corner, and it doesn’t give a shit that you’re scared. Take it from me.

I escaped a torture chamber, killed my sadistic jailor, and fought the zombified remnants of a forgotten city. Enough to make fate herself cringe, really.

Still, it all pales in comparison to receiving a “blessing” with the slight side effect of my humanity rotting away. But don’t you worry, and hand me that bullet. Working it out is on my to-do-list. Right after burning this place to the ground. <<less

Rinaldo had never asked to be the scion of the current rulers of the wealthiest city on Earth. His dream was to live a peaceful life, spending his days reading books and playing with his little black cat. However, his surname attracted many enemies, and after yet another assassination attempt, he realized that wealth and power were not worth the stress. Thus, he faked his death, starting a new life in the one place no one would think to look for him—the Miraval Academy.... more>>

In that magical place, the heirs of the ruling caste that controls the Holy Rolandish Empire secure their place within elitist society by training in the power bestowed upon them by Chaos, becoming warrior-mages known as Essentias. However, a rigid hierarchy exists among them, dividing each Essentia according to their power---Class S are gods among men, destined to write glorious legends, while Class F are treated as human trash by the higher ranks.

There, on his first day of Academy, Rinaldo shatters every record by becoming the weakest Essentia in history---FFF-Class 'Javelinist.'

If being doomed to a life worse than mediocrity wasn’t bad enough, the worst is yet to come. Enduring the eccentricities of his fellow noble classmates, uncovering a millennia-old secret organization plotting to destabilize the world, and surviving a war between two superpowers—these events are just the beginning of the unlucky life of the soon-to-be antagonist of this tale.

What to expect:

VILLAIN ORIGINS: This story follows the rise to power of this setting's main villain. Although Rinaldo isn't a real villain at the start, he will act as a morally gray character, committing whatever actions are necessary to achieve his goals. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

A VAST CAST OF CHARACTERS: Each narrative arc will spotlight a different protagonist, with the MC appearing as a secondary character, a background one, or even as the main villain.

SCHOOL SETTING: Expect magic lessons, teenage drama, and even a unique fantasy sport. However, more than half of the story takes place outside the academy because the MC frequently skips his classes.

NO HAREM: That said, there will be multiple love triangles with only one featuring the MC.

SLOW PROGRESSION: World war by Chapter 37.

IMMENSE WORLDBUILDING: With over 2,000 years of recorded history and more than 10,000 years of mythology, this story spans three continents, each unique in culture, religion, and magic-system. (See the Map)

Release Schedule:

Each volume’s chapters (10–20 in total) will be released daily, with a short break after the final chapter.

Exceptions:

Chapters between 4,000 and 10,000 words may take more than one day to be released

Chapters over 10,000 words may take up to a week. <<less

With revenge in mind, he will strive to be as strong as possible and as wealthy as his late father. Eventually, he will try his best to build his kingdom.... more>>

Along with his game-like system, he will discover a world he didn’t know existed.

What to Expect:

Weak to Strong MC: He’ll take the merchant path before truly beginning his martial art journey.

RPG System: The system is considered ad AI in an armbrace which provides a game-like interface that guides and aids his progression. The system will be humorous in early chapters but will become serious around Chapter 30.

Business & Schemes: Expect clever plots and economic maneuvering.

Low-Key Start → High-Key Rise: The protagonist begins slightly discreet but eventually becomes a major force.

Strong Subordinates: Allies matter—the world doesn’t revolve solely around the MC. However, betreyal is something to be wary of.

Dangerous Villains: Intelligent, cunning antagonists who challenge the MC.

Building kingdom: MC will build his own kingdom later on.

World of Chaos: Monsters, dungeons, martial arts, and shifting power dynamics—kingdoms fall, sects rise, and the world evolves with each major event.

Romance: No harem, probably (Still not certain but that's what I'm planing for the moment.) <<less

Regarding Romance:
While romance is not the main overarching plot, some romantic subplots will be shown and explored. There will not be explicit “spicy” scenes. The main protagonist is a woman who is attracted to femininity, so don’t be shocked if she ends up in a relationship with another woman somewhere along the journey.

Content Warning:
Violence and death (of people and monsters, including major supporting characters), profanity, verbal sexual harassment and off-page, non-detailed assault of a minor side character, and dealing with grief and other past trauma.
I will also note that many major characters have various physical and/or mental disadvantages, such as deafness, missing limbs, scarring, dyslexia, ADHD, and developmental delays. I try to always be respectful when representing these aspects of their lives, but it will address some struggles they constantly deal with as society fails to accommodate them. A fictional form of sign language is heavily used, but please consider any dialogue to be “translated” into English for ease of reading. <<less

Hector had spent his entire life preparing for the worst, constructing an impenetrable fortress of contingencies that no amount of bullshit could ever ruin. Unfortunately for him, the universe is unreasonable. Through a random stroke of astronomically bad luck, his life was ended. He would not be reborn with power, status, or fame. No, he was not destined for rebirth at all. This is a tragedy of what was once a man, as he sacrifices anything to remain Hector.... more>>

This is Hector's Chronicle, a man who must face the abyss and state his price for humanity.

"Finally, this brings about my ultimate conclusion, born from weeks of my most meticulous thinking.

I'm really screwed, aren't I?"

##### Authors Note

This is my take on Isekai. This is certainly not power fantasy, or at least certainly not for the main character. I've read too much generic slop, too many harems, cheaply inserted slavery, unearned power and shallow characters/settings. I'm aiming to avoid that here.

I aim to put a somewhat competent, but flawed character into a world that will move without him. One where he lives without divine favour, where he must painstakingly fight for every scrap he gets and somehow still sacrifice for it. This story will chew him up and spit him out, all the while he endures.

I’m going to (try) and be careful to balance the good and bad of humanity, instead of doing some over the top grim dark slop, with rounded characters that exist beyond the protagonist. It's probably obvious by the content, but I have a background in engineering and interest in history, so the setting is realistic. The magic system is thought through but since we observe it through the people of the world it remains ambiguous.

The story has a plan about 40 chapters ahead, and I generally write about 10 chapters ahead of where it's currently published so I can keep the story cohesive. There will be multiple protagonists, I'm aiming to have it so each protagonist could carry a story by themselves without cluttering the pacing.

(Spoilers ahead)

We'll be shifting genre a bit as it progresses, shifting from survival to politics and strategy.

At its core, this is a tragedy, and not a shallow one. It is a tragedy in the sense that it's a train crash you can see coming, Hectors life is not a consequence of bad luck (entirely), it's a consequence of his actions and he would not have it any other way. If his dreams are destined to end in hell, then that is the journey he will take. That said, it's not really a sad story.

I guess you'll have to read it to see. <<less
