Erwin Lenox won the match. Half a million dollars. A flawless victory. The next day, he died. He awakens in Kuria, the world of the JRPG War of the Arcane World, inside the body of Lusian Douglas of Mondring—the villain the heroes must execute to fulfill divine will. But something doesn’t add up. His existence is nowhere to be found in the Book of Destiny. He isn’t a piece on the board. He’s an anomaly.

A former child performer turned engineer and logistics analyst, he understood war not as glory—but as systems, supply chains, and men dying because someone miscalculated fuel. Then he died. When he opens his eyes again, he is no longer in the 21st century. He awakens in imperial Germany — inside the body of Prince Oskar of Prussia, fifth son of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The year is 1904. Europe stands balanced on a knife’s edge. The Great War is ten years away. And this time… he remembers everything. Armed with knowledge of future catastrophes — trench warfare, naval blockades, industrial slaughter — Oskar refuses to become another ornamental royal. Instead, he begins reshaping the empire from within: Modernizing industry before rivals awaken. Reforming logistics before generals understand their weakness. Building dreadnoughts that rival Britain’s fleet. Forging elite forces that fight with tomorrow’s doctrine. Investing in technology decades ahead of its time. But power attracts enemies. Within the palace, jealous princes whisper. Within the army, old men resist reform. Across Europe, empires grow uneasy at Germany’s sudden acceleration. And in the shadows, forces that do not fly flags begin to move. Oskar does not dream of conquest. He dreams of survival. Yet the stronger he makes Germany, the closer the world drifts toward the very war he is trying to prevent. Can one reincarnated strategist alter the course of history — or will he simply forge a stronger empire for an even greater storm? --- Disclaimer This work is a speculative alternate-history fiction in which a modern man is reborn as Prince Oskar of Prussia and attempts to reshape early 20th-century Europe. While inspired by real historical figures and events, all characterizations, timelines, and outcomes are fictional and should not be interpreted as accurate representations of historical reality.

(Lord of Mysteries fanfiction, no female lead, wrong path) "If you only had one day left to live, what would you do?" When the transmigrator opened his eyes and found a monocle embedded in his right eye, he realized something was wrong with this transmigration.

The moment the countdown reached zero, Nimrod suddenly understood what this countdown represented.

Now he had to tear up Ince Zangwill's script in 1349, scheme against Amon, and become a godfather of the occult garbage dump with the Celestial in 1358, searching for hope for survival in a hopeless future. Faced with the God of Deception in front and the devastating natural disaster behind, Nimrod's answer was: "...Hehe, I must survive!"...In the year 1368, at the end of July, Mr. "Mistake" announced: "Hello, fellow diviners.

In a realm of mortals, a monster was born. At first, it had only one purpose: to protect. To protect those who created it. To protect the family who stood beside it. To protect everyone, it could. To do so, the monster learned to wear a human face. For a time, the disguise was enough. Then the world took everything away. As loved ones died and dreams crumbled, a young man's scream echoed beneath the night sky—a cry of grief, rage, and helplessness. He did not kneel. He did not pray. He did not beg for mercy. Instead, he challenged the heavens themselves. And the heavens answered. Rejection. He who dares challenge the laws themself, his body was broken. His life ended. But someone beyond mortality took notice. "Interesting..." A gift. Or was it not? And so began another life. Another chance. Another tragedy. Reborn in a world where gods watch over mortals, devils shape destinies, myths breathe, and dreams become reality, he finds himself trapped in a cruel cycle. Being above delight and laughing over his suffering. As such, every happiness demands a price. Every bond invites loss. Every life ends in blood. Again. And again. And again. Yet the monster refuses to break. Even when shattered. Even when abandoned and forgotten. Even when the world itself demands his surrender. Is he even trapped, or does he allow himself to be trapped? With each reincarnation, something disappears, something reforms, and something new arrives. The line between man and monster is thin. How much suffering can a person endure before they cease to be human? How much anguish before a monster becomes a human? How many lives must be lost before compassion becomes obsession? How many deaths before a monster finally accepts what it truly is? This is the story of a creature that wanted to save everyone. And the countless lives he sacrificed to become something else. What is it that he finds at the end of his path?

[ CURRENT STATUS: 375,012 Words] [ Status: Ongoing - Long Chapters (2500-3500 words each) ] --- There are thousands of worlds, each with its own stories and legends.

In one of these many worlds—a distorted version of Middle-earth—a young man’s journey begins. However, the peace of this day is a deception. Our hero was once an ordinary teenager who died protecting a friend in a gang fight. He wakes up to find himself in a Middle-earth that is vastly different from the tales he knew. In this realm, Elves, Humans, and Dwarves share the land with darker shadows: Vampires, Liches, Werewolves, Hydras, and Basilisks. The history of this world is not what was told in the books.

In the ancient kingdom of Vaelis, the crown is heavy, the court is a nest of knives, and the people worship stories more than truth. But behind the throne, in the quiet spaces between smiles and proclamations, a different kind of power is being forged. Lord Cassian Vael is the kingdom’s golden prince — brilliant, kind, and impossibly wise. To the king, he is the only advisor who speaks reason. To the princess, he is the first man who ever truly saw her. To the junior prince, he is the brother he never had. To the world, he is a rare soul: a man who rules not with cruelty, but with calm, with philosophy, with love. But Cassian is not a man of love. He is a man of control. Born with a mind like a scalpel and a heart that does not beat, he sees the world as it truly is: a machine of desire, fear, and lies. He knows that loyalty is conditional, that kindness is the sharpest weapon, and that love is the most perfect form of ownership. And he has spent his life mastering the art of wearing masks so flawlessly that even those who trust him most cannot see the monster beneath. He does not want the throne. He wants to become the truth the kingdom believes in. As famine, war, and rebellion tear Vaelis apart, Cassian moves like a shadow through the palace, shaping crises, breaking wills, and turning even the purest hearts into his puppets. The princess, who loves him with her whole soul, becomes his most beautiful lie. The junior prince, who worships him as a brother, becomes his most loyal blade. The king, who trusts him above all others, becomes his most broken tool. But in a world built on lies, even the liar is not safe. As the princess begins to see cracks in his mask, as the junior prince questions the cost of brotherhood, and as the kingdom starts to whisper of a truth that does not come from the throne, Cassian must decide: how far is he willing to go to remain the only truth in Vaelis? *The Only Truth in Vaelis* is a dark, philosophical epic of power, psychology, and royalty — a story where the greatest crime is not murder, but making someone believe in a lie so perfectly that they thank you for it. It is the rise of a man who does not conquer the world, but reshapes it into his own image, one smile, one word, one perfect lie at a time.

Kiniro was born with the ability to see the sins of others and to feast on them. Many believed this to be the ability of a savior with the possibility of saving their damn souls from the pits of hell. Kiniro never believed it himself, but was fine with misleading those who depended on him. They weren't exactly the innocent type. However, he could never have expected the true origin of his abilities, or that there was an entire society full of people with powers similar to his own.

Generally speaking, if I have to get reincarnated into a comic book world, I would hope to avoid the grim darkness of the DC Universe entirely. If I absolutely must end up in DC, I would pray to avoid high-risk death traps like Gotham City—famous for its "simple and honest" citizens. But if I’m stuck in Gotham? Please, at least give me a System. This kid just wants to survive. [Self-Made System Loaded. Please work hard to generate wealth. As the saying goes: Money is power. As long as you aren't penniless, you will always have a chance to rise.] Jude Sharp breathed a sigh of relief, rubbing his hands together. At least he had a cheat code in this dangerous world. One month later. The Dark Knight swooped down from the night sky, crashing through the skylight. In mere seconds, the restaurant staff were left with broken bones and concussions. Jude stood on the sidewalk, staring blankly at the restaurant where he’d finally found a job. There went his workplace. There went his boss. And there went the salary he was supposed to collect tomorrow. "Where is my money?! Batman, I have a shift starting at 8 AM!"

Elias Voss has everything — billions, power, a perfect life — but he feels nothing. As a child, he was sold to a secret cult that erased his emotions, trained him to smile while suffering, and turned him into a cold, calculating machine. Now, as a billionaire, he rules the world from the shadows, but his soul is rotting from boredom. One night, in his office high above the city, he sees her — a beautiful young ghost girl, standing outside the window in the rain. No one else sees her. She follows him home. In his mansion, she appears for real. She is a Veil Ghost, a being from the hidden world between life and death. She offers him a blood contract: ghost powers in stages, but each stage will cost him his humanity. Elias agrees. He gains the power to see ghosts, to steal pieces of other people’s souls, to force them to relive their worst memories. He starts using this power to expose the lies of the rich, the fake “heroes,” the fake “lovers,” the fake “saints.” He sees that everyone is rotten, everyone is a hypocrite, everyone is just pretending. But as his power grows, so does his cruelty. He becomes more Machiavellian, more monstrous. He sees people not as humans, but as tools, pawns, or obstacles. He builds a network of pawns, breaks them, and discards them. He fights Veil Lords, cults, and Hunters, not for justice, but for control. In the end, Elias must choose: break the contract and lose all power, becoming a hunted, broken human, or embrace the Veil and become a new kind of Lord — a being of pure control, forever playing his game across all of history. The novel ends not with a clean victory, but with a cycle: Elias, now beyond human, watches from the shadows as a new billionaire, bored and numb, looks up — and sees her. The game never ends.
