The Perfect Path To Insanity

Would you give up your humanity in exchange for power? To never die, a chance to be a god? Humans had lost all will to try. Their existence had been reduced to a single, self-destructive purpose: to entertain and please the cosmic gods, known as Forces, in hopes of gaining a 'favour'. After 7 years of these continuous deadly games that suddenly appeared, the Earth we know is no more. Now an apocalyptic playground for the Forces to enjoy. To survive in this ruined world, every single player is compelled to participate in these weekly deadly games. All to win prizes, be granted one of the four Paths designed for Awakeners— those who earned ‘their’ affection and favour. Until Fateless, a ‘humble’ wanted thief, stumbled upon a unique Force, one of the creators of the games. It was then he discovered the grim truth behind his name - 'Fateless' - deemed worthless and discarded at birth, exempt from all four Paths. Consumed by despair and hate, he took a risk and accepted a proposal from a shady cosmic god, granting him a fifth Path, giving him the ability to absorb human life essence to grow stronger, all for a small price. [ “I shall grant you the Fifth Path.” ] [ “The Path of Insanity.” ] [ “No mortal seeks forever without unraveling. Madness is the toll, the tariff paid at the gate.”] [ “You will no longer fear death. Nor die of age. Nor plague. Nor wounds that mortal hands deliver.” ] [ “But immortality is fed… not gifted.” ] [ “Just a tiny tithe. 10% of your humanity.” ] ‘What more is there to lose a bit of humanity, anyway? It only drags one down from their full potential. I could do just about anything without being bound to death. Anything… What a thrill it would be to spit on these cosmic slugs' faces.’ .... 300 Power stones: 2 bonus chapters 20 Golden Tickets: 3 bonus chapters 50 Golden Tickets: 5 bonus chapters

The Fallen Sovereign

​In a world governed by Territorium Wills and conceptual power, Kaito Hana Sato is a prodigy known as the "Shadow Knight." After dismantling the invincible Purasian Sovereignty and humbling the legendary King Barusa, Kaito appears to be the pinnacle of mortal strength. However, the "Aura" he projects is a desperate mask. Kaito is the 9th Cursed Immortal, a Vessel for the Owner of the Void—a sadistic demonic entity that treats reality as a stage and Kaito as its lead puppet. ​The narrative centers on the "Script," a predestined path enforced by the Demon through agonizing time loops and psychological torture. Every time Kaito attempts to deviate from his role or save those he loves from their fated deaths, the world resets, forcing him to witness the slaughter of his comrades—Kanjo, Blake, and the Shadow Crew—across a thousand lifetimes. ​As Kaito struggles to maintain his sanity, the scope of the world expands into the True Dimension, where a detached Supreme God watches the "Mortal with the Immortal Smile." Kaito is revealed to be the final piece of a cosmic puzzle involving 9 Cursed Immortals, each representing a fundamental pillar of existence: Time, Space, Death, and Illusion. ​While the First Immortal, Yuzuki Hanto, seeks to assemble a team of Vessels to confront the mysteries of the forbidden Star Continent, Kaito fights a lonely war within his own mind. He must navigate a decaying reality where his greatest power is also his eternal prison.
