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 void's promise

They threw him into the dark to feed a slumbering god. They didn't know the god was starving—and that the boy was hungrier. For ten thousand years, the Blood Lotus Sect has reigned supreme, built on a foundation of ruthless cultivation and a dark secret: they sacrifice their weakest newborns to the Abyssal Pit to appease an ancient horror. But when a nameless, hollow boy is tossed into the dark, he doesn't scream. He doesn't break. With a soul as empty as the void itself, he catches the eye of the dying god below. Instead of consuming him, the ancient entity makes him its vessel. Now, sharing his mind with a cynical, world-ending parasite, the boy climbs out of the abyss wearing the stolen skin and identity of a murdered Outer Court disciple named Dver. To the arrogant young masters and paranoid elders of the sect, Dver is just another piece of trash. A traumatized survivor clinging to the bottom of the hierarchy. They are dead wrong. He is an apex predator wearing a sheep’s skin, and his cultivation requires him to eat theirs. As Dver systematically infiltrates the sect, turning their deadly politics into his own personal hunting ground, he catches the eye of Lyra—the Sect’s flawless, untouchable Saintess. She believes she can purify the broken boy. She thinks she can save him. But Dver doesn't want salvation. He wants to slowly, deliciously corrupt her until she is just as monstrous as he is. A grand sacrifice is approaching. The elders are preparing to feast on the heavens. But they have no idea that the abyss is already walking among them, smiling, and waiting for the perfect moment to swallow them whole.

Honkai Star Rail: Character Gacha System

One moment, he was the unluckiest gamer alive—perpetually cursed, hitting pity on every single banner. Then all of a sudden, during a ten-roll for Cipher, he miraculously pulled seven copies of her! Overwhelmed with euphoria—he quite literally died of joy (in the physical sense). And just like that, he transmigrated into another world… equipped with a gacha system suspiciously identical to Benshin. In this realm—where both supernatural abilities and advanced technology were bound by layers of restriction—legendary figures began to emerge. ――Cipher The nightmare perched at the very top of every bounty list. The mere whisper of her name strikes terror into the hearts of Cloud District billionaires. If a grinning, cat-eared coin suddenly appears beside you… Congratulations. In that instant, your vaults of gold, your cutting-edge defenses, your elite ability-wielding guards—even the dazzling digits in your bank balance—have all been silently rewritten into a single digit: “0.” There is no greater financial horror. ――Sam A living legend of the Mercenary Guild, his true face unknown. Whenever his signature silver-white armor appears, it signals an efficient, inevitable end. Once he accepts a contract, searing trails of light become death’s calling card—no matter how impossible the mission, all is reduced to ash in his incandescent wake. ――Hyacine A mysterious pink-haired girl with twin tails, always accompanied by an enigmatic white beast of unknown origin. She is a miracle that walks the razor’s edge of death—her healing art so profound, even the pinnacle of Genesis Tech covets it. If you encounter her while clinging to life, consider yourself blessed: Death has missed its appointment. But never dare reach for her power with greed or violence— Those who have tried now serve as a warning… scattered as dust on the wind. Original Title: 从赛飞儿开始的崩铁角色抽卡系统 Warning: Genderbender
