The World's Number 1 Most Wanted Thief, the Black Cobra, an Egyptian youth specialized in ancient artifacts, was killed in an explosion he set up after being chased into a dead end in New York. Around his middle finger which he pointed at the face of every chaser from every world superpower, he carried the most prized item in the world, the Ring of Horus.
When he kicked off life with a Bang! He returned with a lot of barf and vomit as poison was being cleansed of his body and a series of messages kept popping up. Long story short, he reincarnated into the body of Leon, an antagonist from a game he used... more>> to play and supposedly one who should already be dead. However, the Hunt for his Life never ended and he became the most wanted after reincarnation overnight. And there is System and Magic and Harem and Overpowered Oversmart Overcharismatic Hero who believes in gender equality and human's right to stay silent when he stabs them… good stuff, turly!

(Author Note: The story tries to avoid the cliches and focuses on crime and politics. Not sure about titles with the same quality as this one but I take elements from the usual isekai and mash them with the Korean style characters and attention to details while avoiding the Chinese repetitive plots and the Japanese beta male leads. This is an Egyptian MC whom you have never seen any like before. He kisses babies and slaps bitches… or kisses bitches and slaps babies… depending on which day of the week it is. He's a mean guy and he knows kung fu. One time an author tried to write him in a novel, the novel almost absorbed the author and he went into a torturous isekai. What more can I say? Read it already!)

Since obtaining the system, Yang Xuan's goals have been very clear. As someone who absolutely loves watching movies, it's an obligation for Yang Xuan to make up for the regrets within those movies. Of course, Yang Xuan enjoys freedom and dislikes being tied down by other matters. However, as Yang Xuan's abilities continue to grow, many things are beyond his control, as they say, "a person in the martial world is not always free to choose."

Hundreds of years ago, the tyrant Digax fled to Xykesh after his defeat. Since then, his power has shrouded it, letting few people in, and none out. Nearly the whole of the island is now his domain, and what is left is wilderness full of monsters. Though the Mad King himself is a distant figure, his Chosen rule with unquestioned power over their subjects. ... more>>

But on the day Digax claimed Xykesh as his, a blind prophet foretold that an outsider from beyond the island's shores would come, and they would end his reign. And the King has dreaded their arrival ever since.

Many outsiders have arrived on Xykesh, either by accident, or in search of the truth behind the mysteries and myths that have sprung up around the island. The populace has been long conditioned to distrust these new arrivals, but so far, none have proven to be the ones the prophet spoke of.

At least, just maybe, until now.

This novel is far less System-based than it sounds and is mainly just used to better showcase the character's powers and progress. I promise you, not excellent writing but decent enough to let the story do its own talking.

This is a story based on my characters background and journal that I played on a mud (Multi User Dungeon) over the course of several years.

After the death of their father, six gods battle for the title of true god. As the battle rages on and the planet they govern begins to suffer, the weakest god proposes a change to the nature of their feud.
A competition of sorts, a fight to the death by proxy. They would each choose a second and send them to their world. Last one standing wins.
While the gods suspect foul-play; they realize that if they keep fighting as they have, they soon wouldn't have a world left to rule. Unable to present any alternatives, the gods agree to this competition.... more>>

It tells the story of one Leon Eagles, formerly known as "Wild Fire", a quick and deadly gunslinger regarded as one of the best "shadowrunners" in North America. If you need someone to perform jobs in the shadows of society such as bodyguard duty, espionage, or even murder, Leon Eagles is the man to call. Together with his allies Sylvia Morrow and Brandon Rivers, Leon fights week-to-week to survive in a world of arcane magic and cutting-edge technology, a world of corporate suits and fire-breathing hellhounds, and a world where some of its biggest ever surprises are... more>> still yet to come......

This is my first web novel and any comments and feedback are appreciated. Terms for those unfamiliar to Shadowrun will be in the glossary, and I'll try to explain as much of the world as I can in this story.

This tale follows the curiously talented orphan Mikey. Despite his misleadingly humble beginning in the archipelago of Des Maron, Mikey has developed the uncanny skill known as 'Spell Weaving'. By merely witnessing magical talents, Mikey is capable of mimicking and developing his own spells and abilities from them.

With his 15th birthday rapidly approaching and the dawn of adulthood trailing behind it, Mikey plans to set out on a journey of self discovery. In spite of his upbringing, Mikey has had one question his entire life - only to recently find a new one to accompany it: What was this 'X' marked on the back of his hand?

Cozca is a Southlander—small for her kind, but a giant compared to most humans in the continent of Aska. She is brave, loyal, and kind. She knows little about the lands north of her. She knows little about anything, really. What she knows is how to hunt, fight, camp, heal, and work. She has traveled from her strange homeland in the south to the Midden: a boreal region inhabited by the free races after the Uprising; a war optimistically named The Last War by its victors. She's set out to return a gift, to claim her father's sword, and to rob her mother.... more>>

Edrelle is an Elf—tall for her kind, but a bit shorter than most humans. She is craven, duplicitous, and cruel. She knows everything about the Midden. She knows quite a bit about everything, really. She knows how to steal, torture, sneak, spy, and murder. She was created in an ancient alchemical vat to be an assassin for her family who live north of the Midden—the High Elves upon the frozen mountain of Elder's Peak, to fight in their wars and put down the allied races' Uprising. She's set out to rekindle an old flame, open a vault, and to rob Cozca's mother.

This is the story of how their lives intertangle. How they must both overcome their pasts, the pasts of their families, and the past of the world. How the generations of the future will be cursed by what we leave behind.

The earth shrunk for millions of years to the current earth level because of accumulation and recuperation of magic energy.

But now it has finally evolved into the next level. Not only earth but everything in the universe evolved.

There are tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, new land assimilated into earth increasing its size making sun into a speck of dust in size.

New civilizations of the assimilated lands, magical creatures, chaos beasts, magic wars, world wars, gods, goddesses, deities and demons………

All the dead became zombies, undead skeletons…….

Every person on his or her 18 birthday receives an ability that decides their life.

Chaos beasts have spirit pearls that can be cracked to get spirit pets, transformation spirits, weapon assimilation spirits…

What my body is incompatible so I have to have a rebirth after 10 years of buffer time.

New life again but you are not the protagonist or the villain instead you have to walk the path of the twilight.

Gain both good and evil, it is not protagonist is stronger than villain.

It is not that easy to kill a villain even for a protagonist.

Can a god compare his luck with the devil’s own luck to save his life? <<less

Imagine a place where the cruel, the wicked, and the merciless go when they die.... more>>

No, not some desolate landscape filled with lava and the wails of tortured sinners. Think of a city. A sprawling metropolis where monsters and men alike are drawn from every corner of the multiverse. Unlike the afterlife of peace and plenty offered to their law-abiding counterparts, the poor souls that are drawn to this mecca of malevolence spend their eternity doing contract work for a Demon Prince in the name of spreading chaos and sowing discord throughout the infinite planes.

This is the City of Lies. Some call it The Hub of Evil.

Dalthan Sol'Magor, a young talented thief who lost his life in a freak accident should fit right in here. Except he doesn't. You see, Dalthan is convinced that he doesn't belong here. Stealing gold from nobles and conning grandmothers out of their pensions isn't evil. At least not in his mind. A bit of theft, a dash of extortion, even a spot of murder are just examples of moral flexibility. That's all.

So what's a dead man to do? Reform his evil ways and prove the great cosmic powers wrong. After all, the only real difference between good and evil is a slight tip of the scales.

[ Tipping the Scales is full of evil people doing evil things. There are no heroes here and precious few redeeming qualities. If that doesn't sound like your jam, I encourage you to turn away now. However, if you're in the market for bad people behaving badly with a comedic spin, you've come to the right place.] <<less

This story runs parallels to the familiar events of Rudeus, but changes many significant events from volumes nine through 21.
It follows our new protagonist and her family as they hope to make a new life for themselves in the kingdom of Asura, but quickly become embroiled in intertwined schemes.
We take a behind-the-scenes look at the Asura kingdom and its scheming citizens, tell tales slices of life, from adventures to wars and how to accidentally third-party Gods in a battle of wits.

Our existence may just be another grain of sand in the dunes of chaos, but it still changes the winds of fate.

A life, molded by omitted choices, bad luck, and crafty excuses that had once hit rock bottom, was finally improving steadily after accepting that you had to play the cards life dealt to you.
But after witnessing an accident in the streets of Japan and our own demise that followed shortly after, we woke up under strange new circumstances.
This story takes a look behind the curtains of the Asuran Kingdom and its scheming citizens and covers tales from slices of life over adventures to wars and how to accidentally third-party Gods in a battle of wits.

As El-P has already put it: "Right for right, wrong for wrong, this is clearly not life’s design."
