Su Han, a Diamond banker, transmigrated into a world of Cultivators and obtained a system cheat, Dragon Rising, that requires him to accumulate influence, and in return, he gains rewards. But he cannot cultivate, but gains Eternal Youth ability, when he is thrown in the Hun Clan's Cold Mines. Realizing he had no way forward with Immortality, he decides to go back to his previous life's occupation, banking. He brings capitalism to a world where one man can destroy stars with a punch, transforming it to one where even a mortal owning a gold card from his bank can make an Immortal God back off, I fear. "Ant! How dare you talk back to me? If you know what is good for you, obediently climb my bed." A god shouted angrily. "I should be the one asking, how dare you shout at me? With just over ten million assets and Silver level access? How dare you challange my Diamond card?" A mortal woman snorted with disdain. Seeing the diamond card in the Woman's hands, the god trembled with sweat dripping on his back as if he had seen a horror.

Final Life Online is a 10th-generation, full-dive VRMMO game developed through the collaboration of companies from across the globe. The game was initially designed as a virtual utopia, a place where players could spend their entire lives after retirement, earn a living, and even shape a new reality. Despite its deep and serious intent, the game became an escape for most players, who gave up on its true objective and chose instead to simply enjoy living in the virtual world as if it were reality. Only a few elite guilds still aimed to beat the game, chasing the incredible rewards promised to those who succeeded. The stakes were high — any player who could defeat the game's final challenge would be rewarded with 20% ownership in the top 1,000 companies in the real world. Yet, as the years passed, no one was able to conquer it. Now, a decade later, the game has become a battleground for the top guilds, all vying for that elusive victory and its earth-shaking rewards. Suddenly, the perspective shifts to a figure standing by the window, looking out into the fading light. A soft breeze ruffles the curtains as he gazes at the massive poster of Final Life Online plastered on the building across the street, its vibrant colors a stark contrast to the dullness of his room. He mutters to himself, his voice a mere whisper against the cacophony of the city below. "And I... am Flynn Blade." The name feels foreign on his tongue, a remnant of a past life he can barely remember. And I have reincarnated in this Doomed world, But no more as I am here now. ***** Flynn, a reincarnator from another world, finds himself preparing for the launch of Final Life Online, a virtual reality game with world-changing stakes. In his previous life, Final Life Online was just a novel, but now he knows it’s far more than just a game. It's humanity's last chance to prepare for a catastrophic apocalypse set to hit Earth in ten years. To make sure the world takes it seriously, the game’s rewards are extraordinary, including shares in top companies and a “World Owner” title with unparalleled power. Flynn has an edge over other players because he knows the game’s true purpose from the start, thanks to reading from the perspective of Max, the story's main character. Max is a regressor who, like Flynn, will join the game today. Max is set to choose one of the strongest classes, but Flynn knows about an even more powerful class that Max didn’t know existed. This class once made another player the second-strongest in the world, nearly on par with Max, despite the fact that Max had multiple advantages like special equipment and cheats. Flynn plans to take this class for himself, aiming to surpass even Max in strength and gather enough power to survive the coming apocalypse. Though he has never met Max personally, Flynn's knowledge of Max’s journey gives him the insight he needs to prepare. His ultimate goal is not just to become stronger, but to protect himself and those he cares about from the impending disaster.

No one could have imagined that Lauren, once a complete and grown young man, would end up trapped in the body of one of the many heroines in his own trashy erotic harem novel. At first, becoming Eleanor Mathioth — gifted, destined for greatness, and meant to rise to the highest levels — seemed like a decent deal. He could ignore the main protagonist and live far from the academy and all its problems. But the moment she took her first steps through the academy gate, a system notification appeared: [Solo Female Heroine System… Your mission: prevent the protagonist from forming a harem and make him choose a single heroine — you. Failure will result in soul annihilation. If you succeed, you will be returned to your previous world with enough wealth to live like a king for the rest of your life.] Then another warning followed: Warning: The soul inhabiting the protagonist has been replaced by an unknown intruder. But how… The only solution that appeared in Lauren’s mind at that moment was to make this new protagonist fall in love with her alone until the story ended completely. But nothing ever goes as planned… She didn’t know that the new protagonist was actually her former roommate — the extremely obsessive fan who adored Eleanor Mathioth above all others, rejected every girl who wasn’t her, and hated harems entirely. And for some ridiculous reason, on the first day of classes one of the heroines appeared in front of Milosh and said: “Excuse me… how about we go on a date?”

A world without gods struggles against cunning and dangerous monsters from another realm, teetering on the brink of collapse—until… Silvanus never expected to die at the peak of his glory. He was on stage one second, accepting his third consecutive Best Actor award. The next, he was dead—crushed by a falling glass stage light in a tragically ungraceful demise. But the worst part was yet to come. He didn't indeed die. Instead, he woke up in an entirely different world, one on the verge of being swallowed by darkness due to an overwhelming invasion of monstrous creatures. [Beep—Acting System activated! Greetings, my god. Please create your character and start collecting Acting Points!] Thus, humanity discovered that they now had gods, divine protectors who guided them in their battles against monsters… A god who feared everything yet could foresee the future. A narcissistic deity who commanded water and life itself. A depraved being who, despite his corruption, remained undefeated against even the strongest creatures. No one knew they were all the same person. "Worship me. Believe in me without end. And one day, I shall truly descend upon this world…" /// /// [Volume 2 - God felt emptiness—so He created a world. That world needed life, so He granted it rivers and trees. But the world should be more vibrant, and thus, God created the races... The Celestials, who proclaimed themselves God’s apostles, ruled the heavens and carried legends of a kingdom in the sky. Small in stature but great intellect, the Hobbits built an invincible mechanical empire. The Elves, who accumulated the wisdom of hundreds of thousands of years, possessed a civilisation that would never decay—masters of intellect, with legends claiming they could foresee the entire world's fate. The Undead, warriors who traded their lives for immortality. The Demons, actual monsters of the age, wielding the power to destroy all things—creatures who lived purely by their own nature. The Dragons, colossal beings of overwhelming might—existences none could dare violate. The Merfolk, rulers of the seas, are invincible within the ocean’s depths. And the Humans, the diligent honeybees of the world, endowed with an unending capacity for learning—destined to advance their own era eternally.] You can start reading from either Volume 1 or Volume 2.

For an entire year, Scott was addicted to playing Sporos, a survival game he found online. He was addicted to the brutal, open-world simulation known for its 99.9% mortality rate, a digital hellscape defined by the "Blooming Decay Event" that swallowed humanity twenty millennia ago. He died thousands of times to the acid-drenched fangs of Spore Beasts and the lung-collapsing rot of cyclonic spore storms. Pushed to the brink of frustration by the game's impossibility, Scott spent weeks coding a balancing script—a "Shelter Core" cheat designed to defy the game’s cruel fate. However, things took another extreme turn as Scott woke up trapped in the body of a "Critically Weakened" Shelter Lord on Sporos, with a remaining lifespan of only 17 years. He is now a mutated survivor struggling to breathe in a world where the atmosphere is thick with corrosive pollen and the ground is buried beneath miles of sentient, hungry mycelial mats. However, the code came with him. Floating before his eyes is the interface that will change the fate of this rotting world. While the horrors of Sporos—the flesh-eating Biolilies and the hallucinations of the Feral Echo, Scott begins his grind. He possesses the unique ability to inject fixed experience points into his very DNA, forcing evolution where nature intended decay.

In 2032, a meteor split into seven mysterious gems, scattering across the globe. They didn’t destroy Earth—but they changed humanity forever, amplifying strength, speed, and raw power in anyone who touched them. By 2047, the world had grown hungrier for violence than ever. Boxing evolved into a deadly spectacle: the Death Boxing League (DBL). Fighters battle for glory, fortune, and survival, powered by the gems’ mysterious energies. From powerless street fighters to unstoppable titans, the league has tiers, each more dangerous than the last. Only the strongest—and the boldest—rise. And at the top?

In the year 2029, a mysterious tech company named Primordial emerges, rapidly overtaking the global tech industry. Its breakthrough product, Portalis, a cutting-edge virtual reality gaming capsule, becomes an instant sensation. Alongside Portalis, Primordial releases Dawn of the Dauntless, a VRMMORPG that promises unprecedented freedom and immersion. Players flock to experience the game’s limitless possibilities, where they can create unique skills, build kingdoms, and interact with NPCs as if they were real people. Among the millions of players, one group rises above the rest 'The Heartless Guild', an elite coalition of the world’s most dedicated gamers. Though their name suggests ruthlessness, they treat NPCs with respect, believing the game world to be more than a mere simulation. Convinced that Dawn of the Dauntless is a gateway to another reality, they even form bonds with NPCs, some going as far as marrying them. The guild’s leaders, the six most powerful players in the world, unite to create The Republic of the Heartless, a harmonious nation where players and NPCs coexist. However, the game’s idyllic world is shattered when Primordial announces a major update after months of silence. As players eagerly log in, a terrifying event unfolds—1.8 billion players vanish from the real world, their bodies disappearing without a trace. The shocking truth becomes apparent: everyone who logged into the game has become trapped within its vast, digital universe, unable to log out. As panic spreads across the globe, governments and scientists scramble to make sense of the catastrophe, but no answers emerge. Inside the game, the trapped players face a new, darker reality—the world of Dawn of the Dauntless has become their new home, and their quest for survival has just begun. Now, the leaders of The Heartless Guild must rally their forces, uncover the truth behind Primordial’s creation, and navigate a world where fantasy and reality have merged—while the outside world remains in turmoil, desperately seeking the lost billions.

Arcade Academy trains the heirs of empires, clans, and guilds to become the next generation of heroes. But Michael Willson is different. With memories of this world as a game, he isn’t here to play the protagonist’s role — he’s here to survive, outsmart fate, and carve a place of his own. When every trial twists under his hidden knowledge, rivals begin to whisper his name. Is he ally, enemy… or the greatest threat Arcade has ever seen? Even it means to take the place of the Hero! -------------------- In a world where strength determines destiny, youths across kingdoms and clans dream of entering Arcadia Academy, the greatest institute for hunters, knights, and magi. It is here that the heirs of noble houses, royal bloodlines, and guild legacies gather to hone their talents — and claim supremacy over the future. But for Michael Willson, things are different. Once a nameless outsider with no family or backing, he possesses only one weapon: knowledge. By a twist of fate, Michael has memories of Arcadia not as a student… but as a game.

That day was supposed to be mediocre. I woke up thinking it was finally my time to carve out my own life. I didn’t wish for anything godly or broken, just something good enough to live a comfortable and honest life. I never expected to awaken anything remarkable, certainly nothing that could compare to the gifts of geniuses from noble or influential families. After all, I was just an orphan, a nobody with nothing to show. I went to the Awakening Ceremony fully prepared to receive a mediocre profession. As for awakening a Trait… I never even considered it possible for someone like me. That’s how it should have been. I stood before the Awakening Crystal, my palm resting lightly against its cool surface. The moment I touched it, a surge of spiritual energy rushed through my body, making my heart pound and my thoughts blur. The sensation was surreal, almost euphoric. And then, a voice echoed within me: [You called to the forgotten souls, and their whispering chorus answered.] [The dead shall heed your call, and the silence of souls shall respond to your will.] [The fallen shall rise once again.] [You have awakened the Unique Profession: Necromancer.] That was the day all my beliefs came crashing down. The day that marked the beginning of my unstoppable rise toward invincibility. The day I took my first step toward domination, for I would trample any and all beneath my unattainable and absolute power. For I possessed the strongest Trait of all. The stronger I became, the more truths of the universe I unveiled, truths about who I was and what I was meant to become. And with every step, it grew clearer. I wasn't a Human. I wasn't a villain and certainly not a hero. I was something superior. I was the Chosen One.

Deep within the darkest floor of the Dungeon in Asterra continent, a weak mindless creature suddenly awakened. A tiny, weak, nameless slime gained something that no ceature in this world should ever possess: a system, memory, anger, and the ability to evolve. After devouring monsters one by one, the slime begins a ruthless climb toward power. From dissolving goblins in silence to hunting terrifying predators far above its rank, the Dungeon’s lowest creature becomes its most dangerous threat. Skills, mana cores, traits, and abilities, everything becomes fuel for its evolution. And as the slime grows, ancient secrets buried in the world and the divine war stir awake. Because this was no ordinary monster. This slime was never meant to exist. And when it evolves into its peak forms, entire world will fear the creature that crawled from the bottom floor. --- What you can expect from this story (Or at least what I'm trying to write): 1. A ruthless underdog fantasy with slow, satisfying progression with clear milestones. The MC is not transmigrated human it should be pretty interesting. 2. Dark and gritty Dungeon atmosphere with dangerous ecosystem of various monsters, and environtment. 3. Evolution & System Progression. There will be skill leveling, trait acquisition, and evolutions. Unique new abilities gained from consuming monsters. Multiple evolution paths that affect the plot. 4. This is a story that focused on the theme of exploration from the perspective of the slime who just gained sentient. The plot would be slow at the start. Read a few chapters. I hope you will like it. :)

Yet again, earthlings were summoned. A dying and corrupted god of time appeared on Earth with just his eye—No body. He took earthlings aged 12 to 60 to reincarnate them in a new world, and placed them in an individual time loop. {Of course, to save it, but he died before he could tell the purpose to the earthlings}. Ganesh, one of the earthlings, chose slime as his starting race for a powerful trait—Eternal Mastery [Mythic] and found himself in a slime farm where slimes are harvested for food by humans. Said trait helps him carry masteries, non-class skills, and non-racial skills to the next loop. [ Ding! You have evolved from Slime to Fire Slime {Common} ] Slime—Water Slime {Common}. In each loop, he tries out new racial evolutions: Poisonous Slime, ... Elemental Slime {Uncommon}, Spirit Slime {Rare}... [ Ding! You have evolved into Dragon Slime {Legendary} ] ... evolved into Primordial Slime {Mythic}... Read it to find out the new slime's journey and how he breaks out of the time loop of the time god. Will he succeed in saving the world from those eldritch creatures or not? Or will he be corrupted like the time god? Daily update. I hope you all will like it.

Tags: Overpowered Regressor • Interactive system • Mid-Burn Romance • Weak to Strong • Strong Male and Female Leads • Harem Synopsis: Rune was just an ordinary guy from Earth, until he wasn't. Reincarnated into Ninth Dawn, a world of swords and magic, his new life immediately became a nightmare. The moment he arrived, he was framed for brutal crimes he never committed. The rape and murder of his childhood friend. Before he could even understand what was happening, the Seraphic Order of the Black Veil(SBV), a ruthless private defense organization funded by the empire, hunted him down. They tortured him without mercy and executed him like a common criminal. That should've been the end. But fate had other plans. Rune woke up again on his first day in Ninth Dawn, given an second chance. In his second life, with Nexar, the Warlord's System, guiding him, Rune stopped being a victim and grew stronger, built armies, conquered territories, and earned a title that shook the world: The First Warlord of the Dawn. But even legends fall. At the peak of his power, Rune was killed by the Demon Lord of the Netherworld. And then he regressed again. Back to the first day. Only this time, everything was different. His system had changed. Nexar was no longer just the Warlord's System, it had transformed into something new, something far more twisted: Nexar, the Warlord's Carnal System. With the knowledge of two lifetimes, a burning desire for vengeance, and a dangerous new power at his fingertips, Rune's third life is going to be nothing like the first two.
