Imagine a world ruled by Ascendents—where power is determined by Resonance, Flux, and access to resources that accelerate ascension. Now imagine that boy has none of it. Varik Verilion possesses no power worth acknowledging. What he has instead is far more dangerous: the ability to understand people, dismantle belief systems, and turn human weakness into leverage. In a world obsessed with power and flux ascension, he introduces something known but alien—manipulation, deception, and control of masses. Varik does not believe in morality, love or loyalty. Parents, lovers, clan, sects, even gods—everything is a system to be exploited. If killing his own parents secures authority, he will do it. If destroying a lover advances his position, he will not hesitate. If creating a consumer economy destabilizes a flux-based world and places power in his hands, he will engineer it piece by piece. While others seek power through training and faith, Varik builds it through cunning, prediction, and psychological warfare. His greatest weapon is not strength, it is deception. His closest companion is not a sword or technique—but the certainty that everyone can be used. Manipulating the Gods is a dark ascent fantasy about a protagonist who does not rise by becoming stronger, but by making everyone else weaker—until even gods are nothing more than variables waiting to be controlled. --- Rather than treating fantasy as aesthetic escapism, this world is constructed as a coherent model — one governed by internal logic, biological constraints, physical trade-offs, and evolutionary pressure. Every culture, power structure, and ability exists because it had to, not because it looked cool. At the foundation of this world lies a single axiom: Flux. Flux is not magic in the ornamental sense. It is an energy principle — a universal driver of transformation, adaptation, decay, and emergence. Matter, biology, cognition, and civilization all evolve in response to Flux gradients, just as real organisms evolve under environmental stress and resource scarcity. So it's not your normal book where anything could happen just because the author wants. And let me tell you in advance, this book is one of a kind. --- Author’s Note: This story is also officially published by me on Royal Road under the same author identity.

Utsunomiya Asagiri has already lived through the kind of backstory that screams “main character.” After being swept through countless anime and manga worlds, he grows up in Tokyo into a handsome, perfectly average protagonist template: dead parents, no relatives, and a household registry with only one name on it. His own. Just when he’s ready to finally enjoy a quiet, normal life, reality pulls the rug out from under him. He’s dragged into a reincarnation game similar to the so called Main God Space where every mistake can cost you your life. And in the same hospital ward where players first awaken, he meets another new recruit: Yuuki Asuna, a freshman who entered Shuchiin in the same year as him. Bad news: this game is brutal, and death is permanent. Good news: the rewards are insane and Asagiri genuinely enjoys the challenge. A born reincarnation gamer and Shuchiin’s rumored “Demon King,” Asagiri forms the strongest strategy squad and makes his entrance under his infamous mask and codename: Leader. Unruly, sharp tongued, and absurdly competent, he treats lethal dungeons like a playground and everyone else like supporting characters who need better teamwork. Initial teammates: Yuuki Asuna (Sword Art Online) Iwanaga Kotoko (In Spectre) Kato Megumi (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend)

I am currently in Konoha and have just become Orochimaru's apprentice. "So, is the Sharingan's transformation from one tomoe to two or three tomoe due to genetic mutation, or something else?" Staring at the restrained Uchiha test subject in front of him, Kenichi Amamiya's eyes shine with intense curiosity. Orochimaru silently accepts the thick stack of pages in his hand, titled “Research Report on the Impact of Soul Reincarnation on the Body.” When Orochimaru receives a paper titled “Research Report on the Impact of Soul Reincarnation on the Body” from his disciple, only one thought crosses his mind: This kid is even more dangerous than I am

A freak accident soon after stole his leg. His career vanished. His fiancée left him. And all he had left were reruns of that one damn fight… and a hundred different regrets.

Piltover and Zaun are two cities separated by a single bridge - ironically called the Bridge of Progress. Above, Piltover shines as the City of Progress, filled with dazzling lights and prosperity.

And in the toxic Undercity, where children play in chemically-tainted puddles and industrial waste poisons the air, Cipher works tirelessly to transform his home's suffering into strength. Armed with his [Ready Player One] ability to adapt technologies and skills from different dimensions - particularly from the Apex world - he channels this knowledge into innovations that promise to turn Zaun's poisoned air into valuable resources, offering both jobs and hope to thousands of desperate citizens.

It's been over 300 years since every human, witch, wizard, hag, vampire, centaur, dwarf, and every other supernatural race residing on Earth suddenly found themselves on Floor Zero of the Tower. The population now sits just under 20 million, a sharp contrast to the original 8.2 billion. As a result, anyone under the age of sixteen is required to attend the Academy of Beginnings, a place designed to prepare them for the climb and uncover the mysteries of the Tower—why the System brought them here, and what lies at its peak. But with the highest known completed Floor being Floor 34… they still have a long way to go. Determined to honor his father and mother’s deaths and become the first human to reach the top of the Tower. Deacon Surtr Hayes stands on the cusp of graduating from the Academy of Beginnings, ready to claim his Tier 1 Class and ascend the Tower with his closest friends by his side. At least, that’s what should have happened. Waking up hours before receiving his first Class and finding out that not only was his father alive, but that he wasn’t even human, derailed everything Deacon thought he knew about his future and left him with many questions, the most prevalent being, “What the hell is a Jötunn?” Schedule: 3x a week (Sun, Tues, Thurs) What to expect: [+] Weak to Strong MC [+] Multiple Weapons & Magics [+] Various Mythologies [+] Tower [+] Grimdark [+] Antihero MC [+] Jötunn

A story of power, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of perfection, Ruler of Arasia follows a man whose eyes have seen empires rise and fall—and whose will could defy death itself. ...

I crossed into the world of Type Moon and, for some reason, the Root itself recognized me. As long as I die an abnormal death, I can ascend to the Throne of Heroes and become its lord, an existence stronger and freer than even the Seven Grand Servants. So, in order to die, I started acting like a complete fool across the Nasuverse. I cursed Gilgamesh to his face in Uruk, challenged almighty Zeus in Greece, openly kidnapped Skadi in Northern Europe, proclaimed in Israel that Solomon was a demon god instead of a holy king, and even stood at Morgan’s side in Britain. Yet for some reason I am still alive. By 1994, Fuyuki City, history has given me a ridiculous list of titles: the third friend of the Most Ancient King, the first prime minister of Mesopotamia, the man favored by the Greek gods, the king of giants in Northern Europe, the incarnation of God who awakened Solomon’s humanity in Israel, the miracle worker supported by Prince Camelot. On top of the Fuyuki Bridge, a young yet world weary Lovi sits on the railing, staring at the city lights and sighing. “Tell me, what exactly went wrong? Or you could just kill me here and let me finally ascend to the Throne of Heroes. Please.” Kiritsugu Emiya lights a cigarette, glances at Artoria holding the Holy Spear, at the treasury of the King unfolding beside Gilgamesh, at the crimson spear tip reaching out from the distant Kingdom of Shadows. The cigarette in his hand trembles slightly.

A nameless phantom thief who steals the impossible right in front of gods and legends. He outsmarts Batman, humiliates Green Lantern, infiltrates Superman’s sanctuary, and vanishes before anyone can react. Every perfect heist hides a lethal gamble, every appearance rewrites the rules. Neither hero nor villain, bound by no heavens and no fate—once he makes a move, the world can only watch… and wonder what he’ll steal next.

When three souls of Aizen Sōsuke—one from Bleach, one from the modern world, and one born in the Naruto universe—merge into one being, a new force rises in the shinobi world. With the wisdom of a god and the heart of a philosopher, Aizen turns Konoha into his laboratory of order, progress, and control. There are no senseless wars, no blind loyalty—only power refined by reason. In this world of chakra and deception, Aizen does not seek destruction… he seeks evolution. Will the world of shinobi kneel to his vision—or will it shatter under the weight of his perfection?
