In this world, divided in two at some unknown point in history:

The people of the Upper City live under the sun, with vast lands, warmth, and freedom. Those in the Lower City exist in dark, cramped underground spaces, never seeing daylight, where even breathing can be fatal.

In a dim alley, a deranged old man, guzzling cheap liquor, throws back his head and howls with laughter:

"Oh, noble lords of the Upper City! In your eyes, do we of the Lower City... even count as human?"

[Villain + Light-hearted Fun + Semi-invincible + MMORPG = Ultimate Enjoyment!]... more>>

After completing his seventeenth game order in an all-night session, Victor unexpectedly finds himself reborn into a game world he knows like the back of his hand—as its infamous villain, no less.

In the original storyline, he was destined to face the hostility of the entire world alone:

- The proud female Valkyrie leader (his fiancée) longs to take his life
- An all-powerful female heiress dreams of burying him alive
- The Grand Duke wants to tear him to pieces
- Even the stray dogs on the street bare their teeth at him

Now, this "villain" possesses a player's cool-headed mindset and comprehensive knowledge of the game world.
Faced with a predetermined death sentence and countless players coveting his experience points, how will Viktor use his profound understanding of the game and his calm, rational mind to turn the tables?
Can he establish an unbeatable position in this world?
When a player who has mastered the game's mechanics becomes the villain within the game, what kind of sparks will fly?

In this marvelous journey filled with strategy, humor, and unexpected twists:
- Every level-up could be a life-or-death decision
- The line between villain and hero blurs under Viktor's careful calculations
- What kind of chemical reaction will occur when game skills collide with real-world magic?
- Will Viktor's gaming skills and his newly formed alliance with the evil god be enough to change the tide?

Are you ready? Step into Viktor's world, where the "villain" has never been so charismatic, and the future? Well, who can say for sure?

20 years ago, the earth as we know it has changed.... more>>

It was integrated into a bigger earth or you call it as real earth.

The earth as we know it is nothing more than a bunch of islands in a large ocean below a humongous continent.

The humongous continent is full of technology and magic cultivators.

The nearby third rate faction was enough to win against the united force of earth.

Even the nuclear warheads are useless in front of strong magic and technology.

Later it was found out that the previous earth is just a time capsule sanctuary to preserve the bloodlines that are about to go extinct.

The world changed and the era of magic cultivation started.

……………

A soul of a social scum that is shameless to the core has transmigrated from another earth that is completely ordinary in the multiverse.

He was born in this new earth after 20 years of change towards the magic cultivation and higher technology.

“Oh this world seems to be different.

There is magic and super technology.

Then where is my cheat as a transmigrator.”

“Tring

Congratulations host for obtaining the shameless scum villain system.”

“Fuck I am not a villain.

How can a righteous, benevolent, handsome and considerate man like me become a villain?

In the previous life I have helped my land lord take care of his wife, sister and daughter,

I took care of my good brother’s wife when he went out on a business trip,

I have even helped my boss with the problem of not having children.

I have helped the good old people meet the god soon.

I have helped those scum people to contact with wine and woman to punish them many diseases in their long life…..

System, come out and explain why a good person like me become a villain….?”

“Tring

It is detected that host is the most shameless person on his universe,

Host’s shamelessness is so great that even the demons in the lowest level of hell don’t want you, fearing that you would green them or take their thrones.

So the system has selected the host and brought you into this world.”

“Well… okay I will reluctantly accept you, so where is my novice gift pack.”

“Tring

Novice gift pack is opened.

Host has obtained opportunity assessment skill maxed out.” <<less

"You wanted to save people your whole life, and this is how you die… Tsk!"... more>>

“Why wouldn’t she die? We slashed, cut, and pierced her, but she still drew breath!”

The greatest entity, the Heavenly Saintess, was betrayed for attempting to expose the secret of ancient Holy texts to the people. She was slain to a regretful and pitiful death by her best friend and companion—the Ice Saintess and ringleader, the mastermind that planned the crusade itself: The Holy Church.

The moment Clare Ederson faced her death, the artifact of the 13th god: yūbi no Kitsune emitted a bluish light and gave her a new life. She became a Half-breed, a scrawny Demon-kitsune of the Demon Clan.

Her two identities merged into one, with her sole objective sworn within her heart:

Absolute Vengeance!

Accepting her destiny and remembering her grudge, Clare builds and sharpens her abilities. Her time for revenge on those who planned her death approaches…

She aims to take over the Demon Clan and destroy the Holy Church, their gods and goddesses, and anyone who causes her demise or stands in her way. She intends to soar beyond her former power, fighting against the heavens, rising to the top as the one who wields two repelling powers. <<less

This is a story I've decided to write because my endless fantasies of chuunibyou like proportions could not stay in my head any longer. I've just wanted to make a story I can make some cringe jokes in and this is the result. I really do hope people will enjoy it as I really do enjoy writing it, and will keep writing it. If you can catch some of the references I would love to hear it. Love and Peace! Just not in this story. If any of the tags currently don't make sense they are for later down the line so I don't have to add them later.

If you would like to read ahead, you can find my patreon at the end of any of the chapters!

Still slightly janky but here is the discord if you wish to join. https://discord.com/invite/99yRS3SuMJ

You can also find the story on webnovel if you wish.

Eventual kingdom building and child rearing

Reincarnation, fantasy, and magic, in my past life world there was no such thing yet I read some literary works for a spare time. There were even jokes that one's potential can even grow further if there's those factors around.... more>>

Reincarnated in another world as one of the royals in a fantasy world in a country called The United Covenant of Chevalynthea, it indeed hit a jackpot as I started setting my plans and desire to motion while throwing in my contributions under the different alias, and enjoying the presence of magic.

The best part? The country's classified component and all the living founders of the country approved it as per practice and tradition for a royalty to know the ways of the world itself, and to train and get stronger.

While it remained that way ever since in that arrangement of training, I watched things unfolded with a merging of the worlds phenomena that had myself encounter new individuals and new information during my adventure out from it.

"Mwahahahaha! I know what you will say next as befitting of your stature and personality in this scene you and your lackeys created. I got many ways to deal with imbeciles such as yourself just as I had done to a certain laughing stock of a disbanded political party from Segliora."

"It's not my fault your former fiancée enjoys my presence and my insights about the roles of royalty in a country and what should be their stage in the world itself, and magic. You got like what? Your engagement broke off and led in this situation. Speaking of which, your former country and world, you know the terms simp and generic male harem MC? If that is so, then you don't really get things here including her very own homeland in this changed magical fantasy world because this country is a constitutional monarchy state as such the monarch and the royal family must be strong and be there for their subjects as per the creed and the factor of this world having magic. In other words, you're an imbecile."

"Another day of a member of nobility being a frog in the well at matters and discrimination because of this country's magic system. Allow this passing errant ehrenschertmagier to say hi."

"Using religion to fatten your pockets and running away from the act? Mwahahaha! Let this errant ehrenschertmagier have you 'sing'."

"Mwahahaha! Surprised? That's one of my personal creation spells."

I ponder to myself, "Is it wrong for a reincarnated royalty in this fantasy world of magic to go incognito and seek out adventure? I guess not."

The selfish government and powerhouses use this chance to ostracize the prophesied girl to reside far beyond the border and destroy the Source.

Decades later, Zafer joins a new uprising faction, seeking nothing but recognition in the world with no restrictions. During his quest for strength, Zafer accidentally becomes a pivotal player in bringing about a new world order, one that will alter the fate of Eden forever.

As Zafer rises, he finds himself allied with— and opposed to— the most formidable humans and god-like entities the world has ever seen. Through shocking revelations, clashes with power beyond imagination, and belief-challenging events, Zafer must discover his true purpose and identity in a world on the brink of transformation. Will he become a hero, a villain, or join with the prophesied girl?
=========
Yooo everyone!
          This novel is a story I've been structuring for over 5 years now, and after writing from scratch 4 times, I'm finally somewhat self-confident enough to publish it! This will be the only novel I'm ever going to write since I used all the inspiration and reference I have for this one.
          The story is pretty much completed, but I'm not done writing yet as it's only my hobby! That's the main reason why chapters are relatively long but I assure you that there are no cliff hangers or such! New chapter every Saturday!
          This piece contains tons of action, vast yet simple World Building but also a little bit of philosophy like the purpose of life and the definition of love.
          THERE ARE NO FILLER CHAPTERS! Each chapter is mostly a combination of action and World Building/ Character development, and sometimes only one of the two!
          I pondered a lot wile constructing the story in order to avoid repetitions in the story, so each action scene and plot twist is unique in it's own way!
          As mentioned, the only thing that's distorting my confidence are my writing skills, so PLEASE LEAVE A FEEDBACK. This is crucial for my improvement as I would love to turn this novel into a manga.
          The approximated length of this novel is about 150 chapters. I hope you enjoy reading it at least as much as I enjoyed writing it.

          Quick note: This novel contains NO intimate scenes and is not romancemaxxing, although it's also not cringe sigma/ stoicmaxxing. It contains a balanced combination of many mature emotions and situations just like the real life is. (there is also gore in a couple of scenes so be aware of that as well) <<less

Earth, 2040: An alien spacecraft crash-lands, bringing with it a disease that transforms humans into undying monsters. There is but one way to slay these abominations—a bullet forged from the debris of the crashed spacecraft that turns anything it touches into lifeless metal statues. A soldier, Lieutenant Jin Shu, and his platoon are tasked with rescuing survivors from a ruined city. Disaster strikes when the platoon is assaulted from all sides. Lieutenant Jin Shu is struck by a monster's claw, causing his weapon to backfire, injuring him with the bullet that was meant to be his hope for killing the abomination. Yet, in a cruel twist of fate, this will be what takes his life.... more>> As he slowly transforms into a lifeless metal statue, he takes a look around to see nothing but death and devastation.

Jin Shu awakes to find himself and his weapon in a new world—a world of cultivation—as a runesmith. Jin Shu will use his newfound knowledge of runesmithing to create a unique blend of modern weaponry and runic weaponry, creating something this new world has never seen before.
___________________

This novel is a mostly lighthearted tale of a man reincarnated from a world on the brink of extinction. With his weapon, he will take his second chance at life and enjoy journeying with his gun and a fluffy winged companion through the new world he finds himself in.

It's a bit of a slow start, but please give it a chance; it may surprise you.

(It's definitely surprising me... I have no idea what I'm doing... someone help me...)
