The Broken Halo

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

Genshin Impact: I Have Popularity System

Caelus transmigrates to Teyvat, awakening as a nameless orphan in Natlan, the nation of war and flame. Gifted with extraordinary talent and an unyielding will, he receives a Pyro Vision at an unprecedented age. His rise is meteoric. During the sacred Rite of Succession of the Pyro Archon, he defeats Mavuika in open combat, shaking Natlan to its core and earning the right to ascend as its new Pyro Archon. But on the eve of his ascension, everything changes. Caelus awakens the Popularity System. A mysterious interface connects him to “players” beyond his world. Their admiration becomes his strength. Their faith becomes currency. Through the system’s shop, he can purchase abilities, artifacts, and even modify certain rules of Teyvat itself. Armed with divine authority and system privileges, Caelus does the unthinkable. He suspends the Sacred Night of the Return of Flame. He creates an artificial Pyro Vision. He alters fate. When Kachina awakens a Vision personally granted by the Pyro Archon, rumors spread throughout Natlan. When Kinich, once destined for Dendro, instead ignites with Pyro, the balance of the elements trembles. “Caelus, you’ll regret this,” Mavuika warns. “I am the Pyro Archon,” he replies. But behind the controversy lies a truth the world does not know. The Sacred Night of the Return of Flame was never glorious. It was a ritual that demanded blood. Caelus chooses to bear infamy, to shoulder destiny alone, and to stand against the Abyss, if it means no more children of Natlan must die for a title steeped in flame. When players finally uncover the truth through the Archon Quest, their reaction is unanimous: “He carried everything himself.” “He deserves to be pulled.” And when Caelus enters the event wish banner… They finally understand why he is called a six-star existence. ... ... support me on patreon patreon.com/guilt_free_daoist

Monarch of the Stolen Permanence(The 1% That Became Absolute)

They called it trash. They left him to die. When the Dungeons came to Aethelgard, humanity awakened with powers that reshaped the world. Some became Gods of Fire, able to raze cities. Others became Masters of Space, bending reality itself. Vihan Dravik got a broken Lifesteal skill with a pathetic 1% activation rate. For nineteen years, he endured the mockery. Party after party used him as bait, as a warm body, as someone expendable. His guardian Kaelen raised him in obscurity, hiding secrets about his past—secrets about the parents Vihan never knew. The mysterious Veilstone on the hill whispered to him in dreams he couldn't understand. Then a party of S-Rank Sovereigns offered him a chance. A real dungeon. Real monsters. Maybe, finally, his skill would work. It didn't. They left him to die in the depths of the Sunken Spire, bleeding out alone in the dark. --- But death was not the end. It was the beginning. In the grey mist of the Shadow Realm, Vihan discovered the truth about his power. He doesn't steal HP. He steals permanence. 1% of a Dragon's strength? Permanent. 1% of a Mage's mana pool? Permanent. 1% of a Fallen Hero's soul? A new Shadow Soldier, bound to his will forever. Now Vihan walks the line between justice and monstrosity. He didn't choose to become a predator—but the world made him one. As he hunts the powerful, builds his army of shadows, and uncovers the truth about his mother from the mysterious Veil, he must confront a terrifying question: When you take pieces of everyone you defeat... what's left of who you were? --- From the quiet town of Oakhaven to the floating continents of Veridion, from the Obsidian Realm of his mother's people to the very gates of the Origin—witness the rise of the Reluctant Predator. The 1% Thief is coming. And he wants more than your respect. He wants your permanence. --- Tags: #ProgressionFantasy #LitRPG #AntiHero #ShadowArmy #Mystery #WeakToStrong #Revenge #WorldHopping #LongNovel

The Last Legendary Weapons Master: Rise of the strongest player

“Life is nothing but a cruel game… and we are its unwilling players.” — Ethan Heart --- After living a miserable life cornered from every direction, Ethan expected nothing good from the world anymore. He was a failure—good at nothing. A burden. Treated like human trash by society. And yet… he was exceptional at one thing. Games. That single talent earned him a name as the owner of one of the most prominent games streaming channels in the scene. Sheltered within his safe space as a gaming addict, Ethan never imagined his life would be turned upside down— The moment he became the first person in history to finish the impossible game… Ordeal. A dark Souls-like RPG with brutal, unforgiving difficulty and a living world that punished players for every mistake. “I saw the ending to the game no one was able to clear. But, when I came to my senses, I was inside of the game” The story of Ordeal was one of despair. The Apocalypse descended. And the Night Lord shattered the Light into fragments. The Curse of Night spread across the world, corrupting all living things—twisting them into grotesque abominations known as Night Walkers, monsters that ravaged everything in their path. In this ruined world, a select group of humans awakened powers resembling game systems. To survive, they must slay monsters, absorb souls, and grow stronger in a merciless world that devours the weak. --- Ethan became the final summoned player. Forced to walk through Ordeal once again— This time not as a gamer… But as a participant. He must reach the ending that none before him could attain. “No matter how impossible it seems… I will conquer this game...!” Armed with complete knowledge of the world’s secrets, the instincts of a veteran player .. And the forbidden pact he forged with a Devil .. Ethan begins his journey. --- Blessings obtained: [The Legendary Weapons Master] [Class Change at Will] [The Demon’s Body] [The Blood of the Old Gods] [Insight of the Wise Raven] [Aura of the Lord of Night] With the ability to forge weapons from the souls of those he kills .. each imbued with terrifying ash of war , Ethan becomes the Legendary Weapons Master. But every deal has a price. Each blessing he gained came with a curse. And now, his body is a vessel for darkness. Can Ethan achieve what no living being has ever accomplished? Or will he become just another soul swallowed by the Night? --- Tags: #Evolution #System #NoHarem ... discord: https://discord.gg/uNrXRgS3Xb
