The Kingmaker System

"The masterminds are cooler than heroes," I mutter as I stare at the chess pieces before me. It is easier to be the one who sits in the shadows and moves the pieces, likewise deciding the flow of the game. Heroes will foolishly sacrifice their lives for the good cause and villains will sacrifice the world for their own gain, but masterminds will use both the heroes and villains to their own benefit. Why, you ask? Well, that's because I've lost my life once while trying to be a hero so, I don't want that anymore. I'd rather be a mastermind who molds the world as per my convenience and live peacefully. Because, why not? *** [Defender of Divine Glory says you are the hope of this world.] What? [Goddess of Wisdom believes that you will be the one to save the world.] Wait, what?! [Propose the Grand Duke the idea of a fake marriage.] And, why would I do that?! [Stop the assassination of Prince Eric.] Why would I save him?! [The candidates for the throne are:... Who will you choose?] Ah! I give up... It seems like a curse that anyone who wishes for a slacker life in Isekai will have to go through the most troublesome things. In my past life, I died because of one rookie mistake but after being transmigrated in the world of fantasy I've gotten an opportunity to start afresh, but unlike the protagonists who look for their love and glory, I'd rather make money and live a life of a slacker. I have magic, I have power and I have money, what else do I need? Well, that was the plan but this damn system is getting on my nerves. I mean who in their sane mind would want to mess with the complicated royal family and political affairs? But that's not all though. I've also become the saviour of this world. Things just can't be anymore worse! Besides, the penalty of failing this quest is... [Failure: Destruction of the World.] It seems like if I screw up in selecting the right person then the destruction that is going to befall the world won't be stopped. If I speak of my reward then it's this vague thing. [Reward: Fulfillment of any wish.] "If that's the case then, I'd rather choose the person who would be the best fit for the throne." And that's how I decided that I would become the Kingmaker.

The Only Thing Harder Than Revenge Is My Sarcastic Cheat

Max Taylor was supposed to get a second chance. One moment he was dying in a crumpled car, headlights bleeding into the night— the next, he opened his eyes beneath a foreign sky, reborn into a world where the wind smelled cleaner and the stars burned unfamiliar. Fate, he thought, was finally being kind. But kindness doesn’t linger. Within months, his new parents—gentle hands, warm smiles, the family he never had—were murdered without a trace. No bodies. No clues. Just the echo of loss repeating itself like a cruel cosmic joke. Grief hardened into a quiet storm inside him, a five-year-old carrying an anger far too ancient. Just when the darkness felt bottomless, his “golden finger” arrived. The Wish Stone. Sentient. Sensitive. And loud enough to give a monk a migraine. Sy—blunt, sarcastic, and convinced Max is one bad decision wrapped in skin—becomes his unwilling partner. Every boost, every upgrade, every tiny miracle drains Max’s hard-earned Wish Points. Sy charges him for everything, even cleaning up messes Max didn’t know he made. If power came with a troll, it would look exactly like this. Armed with grit, borrowed miracles, and Sy’s nonstop commentary, Max grows stronger in the shadows of the mundane world—picking up scraps of intel, dismantling gangs, digging through the grime for the one truth that matters: who killed his parents? But the truth comes with fangs. Taking on a job, Max stumbles upon a request to kill a vampire, a confirmation that the world he's in isn't as it seems. Behind the neon-lit alleys and smoky hideouts lies a hidden realm—creatures of myth walking in tailored suits, old powers trading secrets beneath moonlit cathedrals, mysteries sharper than blades. The underworld he hunted is only the surface. And the monster he’s been chasing? He isn’t the killer. Worse—his parents aren’t dead. Everything Max has bled for, every path he clawed his way through, every night of rage, every wish… all built on a perfect, deliberate lie. Now Max must dive deeper, into a maze of shadows where truth costs more than Wish Points, and the dead don’t stay dead. With Sy’s taunting voice in his ear and a destiny shaped by secrets, Max hunts the real puppeteer pulling the strings of his life—twice. A boy reborn. A world concealed. A sarcastic cheat system with opinions. And a mystery that rewrites everything.

Game Over : Marvel Reboot

Sai, a 35-year-old security officer, dies unexpectedly in his mundane world, only to be reincarnated into the chaotic and vibrant Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU/AU). But this isn’t just any second chance—Sai brings with him the memories, skills, and knowledge he honed during his five years as a player in YGGDRASIL, the legendary virtual reality game from the world of Overlord. Thrust into a world teeming with superheroes, villains, and cosmic threats, Sai must navigate this new reality with one goal: to survive, thrive, and carve out a life of happiness in a universe where danger lurks around every corner. But the MCU is, well, a world filled of unpredictability, and Sai soon discovers that his knowledge of the future and his YGGDRASIL skills are both a blessing and a curse. Sai must decide whether to remain a shadowy observer or step into the spotlight and shape the fate of this new world. With his passion for Marvel lore and his Overlord-inspired prowess, Sai embarks on a thrilling journey to find his place in a universe where the marvel happened and where anything can happen. But as the stakes rise and the multiverse itself begins to unravel, Sai must confront the ultimate question: Can he truly find happiness in a world where survival is never guaranteed and things often went of the rails? -------------------------------------------------------- Just tried writing a fanfiction for once, got help from AI, and btw this is not a translation, I write this myself, in my free time. saw a lot of ff about marvel, kinda wanted to see if my rendition can go far. it's harem, but not like catch them all kind, like polygamy i guess?, there will be Smut at some point, my imagination can be wild sometimes.

The Eternal King Enki — The Undying Witness

A cosmic court has condemned humanity. Seven immortal witnesses return to the dawn of civilization to prove — or disprove — its worth. Most fall. Power twists them into tyrants, idols, and architects of sterile utopias. Only one chooses another path. Across centuries, Enki walks among mortals unseen, planting knowledge instead of monuments, nurturing fragile lives instead of controlling them. He learns that meaning is not found in eternal empires, but in fleeting acts of grace — a hand lifted from mud, a garden built from flood-ruins, a child taught to listen to water. His defense is not glory. It is tenderness. It is persistence. It is humanity’s quiet refusal to stop loving, even knowing all things end. A mythic tale about time, loss, and choosing to build anyway. [Beneath the myth and the science fiction lies a simple, stubborn claim: this is not just a story. Enki was born in 2850 BC and has been carrying the memory ever since. The names are changed, the years shifted, the moons given new orbits, yet the resurrection happened, the desert temptation was real, the stone rolled away, and the Judge has been reigning ever since. Everything else — the Scrapbook, the 0.3%, the blind spot in the machine — is simply the record of those who kept looking up while the world looked down. Most have forgotten there is a sky vaster than any mind can hold, that Earth is a gift, not a possession, that God drew no borders and the birds still fly free without passports. Read it as fiction if you like. Some books are written so the truth can reach the few who still have ears to hear. This is one of them.] 2025 Mark Casa Nova (Original) You may share, translate, adapt, illustrate, animate, film, or perform this work freely — even commercially — on one unbreakable condition: Do not change the lesson. The resurrection happened. The stone was rolled away. Grace is real, borders are not, and the birds still fly free. Everything else — style, medium, language — is yours to play with. The core is not. That’s all I ask. [Mark K. Carlos]
